Drinks

Alex caught up to Izzie just as she was walking out the door. They hadn't talked since the moment in his bedroom a week ago. She backed off, and he had no clue how to follow. He still liked her, always had, even though he had been an ass. He maybe just had to take the plunge and dive in after her.

"Is!" She turned to him, looking curiously. "Would you like to go have a drink with me?" She stared at him for a moment before nodding. "Great." He grabbed her arm and escorted her out the door and into the snow.

Erica walked out into the front of the hospital and spotted Callie waiting for her. They had decided to give a relationship a try and see where it took them. It was a little bit unusual for both of them at the moment, but things were bound to just keep getting better.

Callie rose to her feet and waved. Erica greeted her with a small kiss and grabbed her by her hand. She then dragged Callie out the door, never looking back.

Meredith and Derek both met at the elevator on the way out. "So are we going to give this a try?"

She nodded, confident. "I'm now all whole and healed."

"Well I happen to love you just the way you are, even if you are shattered and broken. But trusting me might come in handy." He watched a look of indecision cross her face, followed by what seemed to be a battle in her head.

"Would you like to move in with me?" It was so small and fast he almost missed it, but he caught them. "You know, so you don't have to live in that old trailer-"

"I'd love too. Joe's?" She nodded as the doors swung open.

Yang left the hospital glancing around corners and double-checking hallways. She was trying to make a clean break out of the place. Phelps had been following her around, always stopping her to tell her about how he skied in Milan or something like that. She tuned him out, but it was getting annoying.

Why the heck was he telling her all these things? She could care less. She just wanted to go over to her favorite bar, and have a lot of drinks with her best friend and listen to the next chapter in the McDreamy chronicles. Then they could gossip over McSwimmy and the new girl doctor who Yang had yet to lay eyes on.

She just prayed to God HE wouldn't be there.

Lexie said good-bye to George as he left to go back to their apartment. She let out a sigh as she watched him walk out the door and promised to help him study. He had no clue.

"You like him." She turned with a start to see that new doctor standing next to her. She turned a deep red. "Its fine you know. I make a point to not judge."

"He has no clue."

"He's a boy. What do you expect?" She smiled. "You should talk to him; otherwise you'll be watching him walk out the door every day." And she strode to the door, leaving a confused Lexie in her wake.

Sloan saw her and rushed the door to hold it open. "Thank you." She walked out and he followed, putting his best McSteamy grin on.

"Now, where does a beautiful girl like you go after hours?"

"Home." Zero for one.

"Funny too. So do you like drinks?"

"Nope. I NEVER drink." Zero for two. Now he had to bring her in. He grabbed her shoulders and twirled her around.

"Well, when I take a girl out you'll want to."

"Wh-what?" And then he leaned in and kissed her. She slapped him across the face. "Get off!" He pulled away, shocked. "Listen, I may seem like a know-nothing, but I'm smart enough to know that I should avoid jerks like you. I know your type; play a girl for one night. Well, you just hit a brick wall." And she stormed off, and Sloan never wanted her more.

Joe stood behind his counter as what he swore was the whole hospital staff came pouring into his bar. They settled at their tables as Sloan stumbled in and slid down next to Derek.

"You look like you just got slapped."

"That Anderson just totally shut me down." Derek looked at him.

"She seemed nice, but a little naïve to this field yet. You hit on her already."

"I tried to. Where's my favorite dirty mistress?" Derek nodded over to the counter where Meredith and Christina sat. "She's spending time with her person."

Meredith and Christina were drinking their third as she complained about the new doctor that seemed to be stalking her around the hospital. "I think I might have to get a restraining order."

"I think he likes you."

"He can like me as much as he wants, but I prefer it at a distance where we never have to lay eyes on each other. Besides, I have no time for men. I'm too busy with my residency."

"Christina, it's been months since Burke left. I think it's time you moved on."

"I am plenty moved on. I'm so moved on I'll buy the next guy who walks through the door a drink." The girls stared for a minute until Phelps came through the door. Meredith laughed. "Now, wait-"

"Hey, a promise is a promise. Someone up there has it in for you." She pushed Christina off her seat as she grudgingly walked towards the new doctor.

Thank you so much for reading, and I appreciate all of your lovely reviews. I hope you won't be disappointed.
