Chapter 4
Again… I don't own Grey's Anatomy. I wish I did. :(
"We need to talk." Alex said. 'Oh how I wish I could take those words back. She'll probably hate me after this.'
"Umm. Okay. What is this about?" asked Meredith.
Alex told her everything. From the night at Joe's to the almost drowning part. Every time he said a word, he could see a glint of anger mixed up with sadness. When he finished she did not look at him, but he could still see some tears threatening to fall.
Inside he scolded himself; He regretted telling her, now she would never speak to him again.
"I-"Meredith started to say, but then she was cut off by the doorbell. "I have to go."
……………………………………………………………………………………………...
Meredith's date was well dressed. He wore jeans and a nice Polo shirt. He noticed the tension going on inside her. So he broke the deafening silence.
"So.. I assume you are Meredith. My name is James Mendes. I used to be a model, now I'm a architect."
"Oh, sorry James. I wasn't really focusing. I'm Meredith Grey, A surgical Intern at Seattle Grace hospital." She went to shake his hand but he didn't offer his own.
"We do kisses Meredith, not handshakes" he chuckled. 'For a surgical intern she's not that focused,"
'Ughhh that Alex, now my date thinks I'm stupid.' Meredith thinks as she turns into a shade of pink.
"Sorry James, but how do I know you won't reel me in James Bond style?" Meredith smirks.
'Sexy and Witty. That Izzy is great...'
"I can't promise I won't. But I'll try my best"
"Now where are you taking me off to James? Your secret lair? Seeing as you are an Architect, you must be able to build the most high-tech secret lair. And not those bat cave look-a-likes." She says grinning.
" I kind of do like does bat cave look-a-likes. I'm insulted!" he touches his chest as a sign of hurt.
"Okay. Then Mr. Bond please take me somewhere to eat. I'm starving." She giggles.
'I'm starving too. But not that kind of food' he thinks. "Well then Ms. Grey let's get going."
They both went to lunch, talking about their lives, their families, the works.
'Well he's funny and all but this date isn't that exciting.' Meredith found the date quite boring.
When they were finished with their last course of the meal, James invited her over to his house for dessert.
"You aren't really subtle are you?" Meredith asks.
"Well, I usually am. But since in front of me, is a breathtaking girl, I would make it an excuse." He smirks.
'Do you think I'm that stupid??' Meredith thought to herself
"Well James, it seems like you are excited to go home" She needed to give him a taste of her wit. "I will keep my pants on for now. But since you are being a patient gentleman, I'll give you a kiss." She smiles.
She quickly kisses him on the cheek. "I'll call you."
James is disappointed. 'She looks really good in bed, too bad she won't let me join her. I really thought that she found me really attractive.'
"Fine then Meredith, I'll take you home. Would you like anything?"
"No thanks James. Could you just take me to the hospital for now? I'm sorry, but I have to finish some stuff."
"Oh." James was disappointed he thought that he could spend some time with her. But he was an ass. A horny ass. "Okay."
They got into the car. They were silent for a few minutes. Then when they were two blocks away from the hospital, James pulled over.
"Umm, James this isn't the hospital." Meredith said because she was confused.
"I know. I know." He quickly took of his seatbelt and started to kiss her. He also tried to get a feel of her breasts. But she was to quick, kneed him hard on the crotch just enough to make him back away, and give her enough time to get out of the car to walk to the hospital. " Jerkfaced Asshole!!"
'I guess she's not going to call me. But damn that kick turned me on.' Thought James.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Meredith was in her date clothes. She didn't have enough time to change. But still every guy in the hospital turned to look her way when she passed by. Even the chief.
The Chief stopped in front of her when she was walking. "Whoa whoa Meredith, what's wrong? I thought you had the day off?"
"I'm going to kill her!!" said Meredith not even minding the chief.
"Okay, go on now Meredith. Just don't make so much noise." He chuckled to himself, what is that girl going to do now?? He thought.
George could practically see the steam coming out from Meredith's ears. He chuckled lightly to himself.
He walked towards her. "Mer, you okay?" he asked.
"What do you think?" Meredith said.
"Okay. Mer, there's no need to be a bitch about it."
"Where is SHE. WHERE IS SHE??" She said screaming. George almost fell out of the surprise he got from her booming voice.
" You mean Izzy?" he said clearly amused.
"YES IZZY. WHO ELSE?" she screamed.
"Fine, Fine, she's by the nurses station on the 4th floor." And with that Meredith stormed off to the nearest elevator.
"Your welcome!" George shouted.
In the elevator Meredith was too busy fuming that she didn't notice Alex when she came in. but now that she was in the elevator he had her full attention. She fell silent.
"Mer, you okay?" Alex said trying to break the silence. "Look Mer, I'm sorry about earlier."
"Alex," She sighed "can we not talk about this now."
The doors opened and she stormed out. 'How will I ever fix this?' Alex thought. 'It might always be like this for us now, awkward and filled with anger.' He sighed.
……………………………………………………………………………………………...
Meredith went up to Izzy.
"We need to talk." Meredith said to Izzy.
"Okay, Mer?" Izzy said. "I know just the place."
They both walked in to a coma patient's room. "Mer, meet old guy."
"Not the time for jokes Izzy." Meredith said. "Did you know what your little friend pulled on me today?" She put emphasis on friend enough to make Izzy squirm.
"No…" said Izzy.
"Well for starters, he tried to get me into bed with him, number two, he tried to get a feel of my breasts against my will. AND HE IS A TOTAL ASS." Meredith screamed at Izzy.
"Shhhh. Mer, Don't make so much noise."
"Don't make so much noise??" She screamed Izzy let her cool down a little bit after that. "Mer. Relax okay."
"Look, Izz I'm sorry okay. But do me a favor. Cancel tonight's and tomorrow's lunch date. I don't want to deal with them right now. But I will still go to tomorrow's dinner date. Okay?"
"Thanks Mer. And I'm sorry about James. But are you still going to work? You could go if you like,"
"It's okay Izz. I'll wait for you. I'll probably work today anyways."

Derek was sort of happy to hear that Meredith's date didn't go very well.
He went up to her at the locker room. "Hey Mer. How are you doing?" he asked to get on her good side.
"I'm okay, Derek." She looked up at him with a sad smile. "What are you doing here?"
"Oh nothing I just wanted to talk to you I guess." He said. She could hear the sincerity in voice.
"You guess?" she said to lighten up the mood. "Well, I have to go. I'm working down by the pit." She smiled. "Chief didn't really like the idea of going into a patient's room looking like this" as she pointed to her body which was still in date clothes because she didn't bring her scrubs.
"Well, I understand why." He smiled. "I wouldn't want anyone to think you were hot."
He left the room. 'What did that mean' thought Meredith.
'Anyways, maybe I just imagined it.'
And she headed down to the pit.
