"Be careful Iz." he smiled shyly at her and she did the same. Like on their first meeting the time seemed to stop. It could have been hours they stood there.
"I… I can't be late for rounds."
"Of course, I'm going in the same direction, lets walk together."
"Fine, okay."
"We should really talk Izzie."
"We should, but not here. Isn't it the most unbelievable thing in the world, that we work here together? That you are my boss? And of course the fact, that you slept with Meredith three nights ago…" OF COURSE she wasn't jealous, but she hated that this would make it even more complicated than it already was.
"Oh that, right, stupid mistake, nobody could've known she'd be an intern here."
"No, nobody."
"So, what do you think about Joe's tonight?"
"We're celebrating our first surgeries, I'm already booked."
"Okay, tomorrow then."
"Fine by me!"
"That's a date!"
"A date?"
"Do you want it to be one?"
"But Mer is my friend and… lets start with only talking. We'll see later about the rest, okay?"
He nodded and she disappeared into the locker room.
"You talked to Derek?"
"Are you big on spying or anything?"
"I couldn't hear anything, I just saw you outside together."
"He asked me out for tomorrow night, I told him that I'd meet him, but not as a date, only as friends."
"He asked you out? Seriously?"
She nodded. "But tonight we are still on for celebrating!"
"It's fine, I'm not interested in him anyway."
"Tell that Bambi, but not us, we know you."
"We know each other for three days, you can't know me."
"We still do."
Meredith seemed a little bit pissed, but sobered up, when Bailey came in and hauled them all to do rounds.

Many hours and three drinks later, the three of them, Christina, Meredith and Izzie, were joined by George.
"Evil Spawn is here somewhere, too." said George sitting down.
"I saw him walking in."
"He must be all alone, nobody would want to do anything with him." said Izzie, remembering the rude comments that he kept throwing at her.
"Hey Joe, give us another round, on me this time!"
They took their drinks and put them together in the middle.
"To being surgeons, to being here, to being together! To us!"
"To us!"
"To us!"
"To us!"
And they all drank their drinks in one big gulp.
Suddenly Meredith stood up and stormed in the direction of the entrance.
"What the hell is she doing?"
"Oh, it's only McDreamy."
Izzie saw his dark hair first and Meredith as she pulled him into a corner.
"Crisis conference."
George looked at Izzie knowingly.
"Are you okay?"
"Sure why?"
"Because your old boyfriend is now your boss…" George said.
"It's fine, I can handle it."
"And the Mer thing?"
"Derek is responsible enough not to start a relationship with an intern. I know him."
"Is he good in bed?" Christina asked bluntly.
"That's waaaay to private."
"It's not, spill."
Meredith came back to their table and sat down with a far-away-look on her face.
"What are you talking about?"
"If Derek is good in bed, we are awaiting Izzie's response."
"Well, back then we were both pretty inexperienced… but, yeah. No complains."
"Mer?"
"No complains either, but it's blurry, I was pretty drunk, so was he."
"What were you talking to him about?" Izzie asked.
"Private."
"Oh, you people are uptight, you can't even talk about sex without blushing."
"We're not uptight!" they both said.
"It old you!" Izzie continued.
"Than Mer is uptight."
"Fine… I asked him what this all meant and what we should do and he said that we should… that we shouldn't take it any further, because he is my boss and all…"
"But he is Iz's boss too!" George interjected.
"Perhaps for him there is a difference between a one-night-stand and a relationship. Whatever. I'm not jealous of Izzie."
"Mer…" Izzie said looking at her.
"I'm not going to start a relationship with him again, we had our reasons to break up."
"Which and how long were you together?" Christina asked coming closer to Izzie.
"When was that again?" George asked further.
"Damn, now I said too much. I can't tell you anything without being terrorized with questions… fine, I'll tell you why we split up, but than you will stop, promise?"
"Promise!"
Christina and George were very eager to not miss a thing, but Meredith just leaned back in her chair pretending to be not interested, while Izzie could clearly see, that she tried to listen to every word.
"Okay, I'll start with were I lived. I grew up in a trailer park, more exactly in Chehalis by the Highway. I lived there alone with my mum. A few trailers up the road lived a old couple, in a much larger trailer, it was more like a bungalow than a trailer. Well, Derek was their grandson so he came to visit often when he was younger, we played together and well, he vanished for a while and apparently when he came back, I… I was older and we came together, I was 15 and he was 21 or 22. He was in Med School and since I wanted to be a doctor since I was little, we hit it off. But well, he was rich, his parents didn't want a girl from the trailer park, so… so he left, after a big fight…"
The others were quiet for a moment.
"That sounds like Romeo and Juliet… kept apart because of the families." Meredith said, who had warmed up a little bit.
"Yeah… very romantic. I never saw him again afterwards."
"Until NOW?"
"Yeah."
"Bastard." Christina said.
"I think he didn't know what to say and he was kind of right. His whole family hated me, it's it was better that way."
"Don't protect him."
They all looked at her and when Izzie realized they weren't celebrating anymore because of her, she ordered another round.
"No long faces."
"Poor Izzie."
"Oh come on guys, I'm not poor, I'm a doctor! How much better can I get? LET'S PARTY!!! Joe, get us some more drinks!"
Half of the bar looked at her and Izzie blushed a bit.
What she didn't see, was Derek watching her too, smiling about how funny and beautiful she still was after all these years.
