Cristina's POV season one episode nine
Burke and I have been together in a steady relationship for six weeks. This is the longest relationship I've ever had, I seriously want a future with him. I not only admire Burke as a surgeon but he has a great personality. That's the big draw to him, he's smart, caring and handsome. I have to admit im slightly worried about the phone call he got this morning in bed and the one during rounds but we never agreed to being exclusive. I didn't even consider the idea of another woman, I mean he stayed at my place for seven days straight. But then again we never made rules for this relationship. Tonight he said we needed to talk and we're going to dinner, I'm going to tell him I want an exclusive relationship with him.
Me and Burke are in the lobby about to go, he helped me put on my jacket like the gentleman he is. But when I fixed my shirt I noticed his gaze on another woman standing by the doors. She's looking back at him, he turned to me and almost in a whisper said "Cristina I'm so sorry" now I'm even more confused than before. The woman has blonde hair ending slightly below her shoulders, she's about five foot eight and I cannot see her body with the black designer coat she had on. The woman approached and stuck her hand out to me. "I'm Erica Burke" she said sweetly looking at the proximity of the two she observed. "And you must be the woman who's been screwing my husband" all I knew was I had to get out of there. So I did what I did best; ran.
I went to Joe's and found Meredith and George at the bar. "Burke is married" I blurt out, George spits out his beer so mush as its dripping from his nostrils. Meredith just sits there staring at the water in front of her, it makes me wonder if it's vodka and not water or how many shots she's already had. Before I could say anything George got up and went to the bathroom. Meredith in the same manner I did told me what was going on with her. "I'm pregnant". She told me how she couldn't get rid of it much to my surprise and dismay. She still wouldn't tell me who the father was.
Dun dun dun...
I know this will be MerMark and burktina overall. I know that Derek will be in Owen's position and follow his storyline. But at Mark and Meredith's wedding does he walk out, she will end up with Mark but will she date Derek for a little while like Cristina did?
