Before anything I want to give a special thanks to my most loyal reviewers: twin1 and AmyHale.

When I first started this I honestly didn't know if I would even write a second chapter. Thanks to all of my readers and reviewers, my head has been buzzing with ideas and I don't plan on stopping!

Oh and I am aware how super fluffy this chapter is…but everybody seemed anxious for a little interaction among the housemates. Enjoy!


"Dr. Karev, what are the leading reasons for knee arthroscopy?" Callie asked, not taking her eyes off of the screen as she guided the camera effortlessly through a small incision.

"Inflamed synovial tissue, and torn meniscal or articular cartilage." He replied, closely watching the projected images. He was not a big fan of orthopedic surgery, but Callie was a good friend of his and he wanted to at least sound like he cared.

"And what do these images tell us the problem is?"

"It looks like a torn anterior cruciate ligament." He replied.

"I agree. We are going to need to trim the torn pieces of cartilage and remove the loose fragments of bone. And should I use lasers or scissors?"

"I don't think the damage is severe enough for lasers."

"Good job." She said with a smile. She passed the scissors to Karev and monitored his work closely. The procedure was short, lasting a little bit over thirty minutes. When the job was finished, Callie attempted to make small talk while he stitched up the incision site. "How are things at home?" She asked.

"Hot and cold." He replied without looking up.

"That tends to result from having a teenager in the house."

"No kidding." He said with a small chuckle. "How are you and Arizona?"

"Great." She said with a smile. "And you and Lexie?"

"What makes you think I am with Lexie?"

"Oh come on Alex, give me some credit." She scoffed. "I'm a girl. Believe me, I'm not the only one who can tell you two are sleeping together."

"Well we aren't." He mumbled. "At least not yet."

"You act like you haven't already done it before."

"You don't know that."

"Alex you forget that I've slept with you. I know how you act around girls you are having sex with."

"Okay fine. She and I have had sex before, and I would very much like to do it again, so please don't advertise the fact that you and I did anything."

"As humorous as I think it would be to watch Arizona slowly ruin your career, I don't think I'll advertise this one."

"Thanks." He said with a smirk. "The last thing I need is for Amber to find out what a man whore I am." Alex shifted positions uncomfortably. He could feel his phone vibrating in his pocket and was not pleased with the distraction.

"True, you wouldn't want to lead by example." Callie teased.

"I will set up an arranged marriage for her before I let that happen."

The two laughed, forcing Alex to pause his work to avoid messing up on his stitches.

"So is Amber okay with it?" She asked after a minute. "I mean, I know she and Lexie are pretty tight."

"I'm not sure if she knows…but I don't really think she would care." He paused for a moment. "Do you?"

"She just wants to feel like she has a woman to confide in. As long as you don't use your relationship with Lexie against her, I'm sure it will be fine."

"You think I would use Lexie as a spy?" He asked in shock.

"Of course that's what I think. You're you!"

"Oh I know. I was just going to thank you for the idea." He replied with a smirk.

"I would hit you right now if you weren't inserting a needle into my patient's skin."

"Oh no…" He said, taking care to sound unimpressed.

Callie let out a loud laugh, watching as Alex cut the remaining string off of the final stitch. "Alright, let's transfer him to recovery." She said. "You did good work today."

Amber sat on the bus, anxiously waiting for it to reach her destination. She had a lot of studying to do and wanted to hurry up and get to the hospital to finish before her brother got out of surgery. She hoped Lexie or Jackson would help her, but she could never keep track of who was working and who wasn't.

"Hey stranger." A familiar voice said, plopping down into the seat next to her.

"Caleb?" She asked with a smile. "What are you doing here?"

"It's a public bus." He retorted.

"I know, but you have a car."

"I just wanted to make sure you got my note." He said, taking a hand and pushing his sandy-blonde bangs out of his eyes.

"So you left your car at school to stalk me?" She mocked.

"The bus will double back. I doubt anything will happen to it while I'm gone."

She turned to face the window to keep from blushing. She couldn't believe a boy would go through so much trouble to speak with her. "I got your note." She replied coolly. "Alex would murder me if I got caught texting in class, so I was waiting until school got out to reply."

"Well, school is out." He said with a half smile.

Amber smirked and pulled out her phone. She shifted positions towards the window, as if trying to be secretive. She slowly typed in the word "Yes" and sent it to him.

A muffled ding sounded from inside his pocket. He pulled out his phone and unlocked it to reveal the single word across the screen.

"Very smooth." He commented.

"This is my stop." She said as they pulled up to the bus stop across from the entrance to the hospital.

"Well then..." He began, standing up so she could slide by. "I'll see you Friday at 7:00."

"I guess you will."

"Please let me stop!" Amber groaned, shoving her text book across the table and burying her face in her hands. She had found Lexie shortly after arriving and had been studying nonstop since.

"You have a test tomorrow." Lexie argued from the chair opposite of her. She pushed the anatomy book back towards her. "One you told your brother that you were ready for." She raised one eyebrow, calling the young teen's bluff.

"So I exaggerated slightly." Amber mumbled, her face still hidden.

"Alright, what part are you still having trouble with?"

"The carpal wrist. The bones are just so weird sounding." She said, finally removing her hands from her face.

"Oh that's easy!" Lexie with a laugh, ignoring the glare she received across the table. "I mean there's an easy way to remember them."

"Coming from the girl with a photographic memory." Amber replied condescendingly, clearly not buying a word she said.

"Anybody can use a mnemonic device." Lexie coaxed.

"Alright let's have it then, girl-wonder."

"Stupid Lovers Try Positions That They Can't Handle." She said plainly. Amber gave Lexie a puzzled look in return. She held up her hand and began to point in the direction of the bones, starting from her thumb. "Scaphoid, Lunate, Triquetrum, Pisiform, Trapezium, Trapezoid, Capitate, and Hamate."

A look of realization quickly spread across Amber's face. "That's kind of funny." She said with a slight smile, pulling her text book back towards her.

"You didn't think I got through medical school purely on my good looks and charm, did you?"

"I did not think that at all." She said mockingly.

"Ouch!" Lexie exclaimed, placing a hand over her heart. Amber laughed quietly and picked up her pencil to practice writing down the names of the bones.

Alex poked his head into the longue. "Oh….hi Lexie." He said awkwardly. "I was just coming to check on Amber, but it looks like you've got things taken care of."

"Yeah, I was just helping her with her….homework." Lexie replied with equal awkwardness. Amber looked between the two of them, trying to figure out the source of the tension in the room.

"I appreciate that…I guess I'll get back to work." He said, sliding out through the door as if he couldn't get away fast enough.

"What the hell was that?" Amber inquired as soon as she heard the door slam.

"What?" Lexie looked up innocently.

"Oh my god…." Amber said in disbelief. "You had sex?" She whispered.

"Amber!" Lexie exclaimed, giggling in embarrassment.

"You so did!"

"I am not having this conversation with you!"

"Why not? We're friends!" Amber argued, throwing her pencil down to give Lexie her full attention.

"Yes." Lexie admitted with a sigh. "We have had sex before…but not recently. I mean, things got heated the other night and then ended abruptly, so it's a little awkward now."

"Why did it end abruptly?" Amber asked.

"Um…." Lexie stammered. There was no way she was going to admit that it was because Amber had woken up screaming from a night terror. Things had been better lately and the last thing she wanted to do was make her feel worse about that night than she already did.

"Did 'stupid lovers try positions that they can't handle'?" Amber asked with a grin, clearly proud of her own wit.

Lexie burst out laughing. "Something like that."

Amber began to make flash cards and Lexie excused herself from the break room to find Alex. She was expecting Amber to be angry with her for being romantically involved with her older brother, but surprisingly, she wasn't. With the fear of losing her friend having been dismissed, Lexie was determined to go set the stubborn surgeon straight. She hadn't wanted things to be weird between them, but the way he had been acting lately made it difficult to interact. She caught sight of him in the hallway near the pediatrics wing. She quickly grabbed the sleeve of his scrubs and yanked him into a nearby on-call room.

"Alright Karev, what gives?" She demanded as soon as the door shut behind her.

"I didn't do it." He said defensively, raising his hands in the air.

"You know what I mean!" She blurted out. "Ever since we went out last week, you have been doing everything in your power to avoid me."

"I haven't been avoiding you." He said defensively.

"Can we both be adults about this?"

Alex didn't answer. Instead he stared at her vacantly, searching for any kind of excuse he could formulate.

"I knew you wouldn't take this seriously." Lexie said before turning away. She had the door opened a crack before Alex put his hand out to slam it shut again.

"You want to be adults?" He said rather aggressively. "Alright, well here it is. I have done nothing but try to earn my sister's respect, and I am still the only person in the house that she has yet to form some kind of relationship with. She's closest with you and Meredith….if she found out that I was…." He let his voice trail off, knowing that Lexie had most likely gotten the point.

"Alex." Lexie said softly. "She kind of knows…"

"What?" He shouted. "What is the matter with you?"

"She's not angry! I was worried about the same thing as you! I didn't want to mess up the bond I've formed with her."

"Wait…she wasn't mad? She didn't say anything about how I'm out to ruin her life or some derivative of that? Call me Dr. Evil Spawn? Anything?"

"No, she didn't act angry in the slightest. She was a little bit shocked, but she was completely fine."

Alex rubbed the back of his head nervously. With this information having been revealed, he had absolutely no idea what his next move should be. "And you are positive that she wasn't just acting?" He asked slowly, considering each word.

"Alex, have you ever known Amber to hide her feelings when she is pissed at you?"

"You make a compelling argument." He joked. There was a slight hint of flirtation to his voice now. It was as if a weight had been lifted off of his shoulders. He no longer had to suppress his feelings for Lexie at the fear of losing what mattered most to him, Amber. "You really do care about my sister, don't you?"

"Well yeah, of course I do." She replied. "She's such a strong kid. And, I mean...I'm just 'Little Grey' around here. I finally have the chance to look out for someone, not just everyone else looking out for me."

"I couldn't believe how fast she warmed up to you…but I'm glad she did. I don't have to worry about her as much when I know you're looking out for her too."

"Everyone is looking out for her, Alex." She locked eyes with him and took a step closer. "That's what happens when you care about someone. The things that are important to them become important to you too. You don't have to carry all of the weight by yourself anymore."

Alex could not muster up any words that he deemed appropriate to say in return. He was completely overwhelmed with just how thankful he was to have these people in his life, even if he didn't know how to show it. He wasn't a touchy feely type of guy, he worked very hard to maintain his tough exterior, but it didn't mean that he went without emotion. He felt more than most people gave him credit for. "Thank you." He managed to sputter out.

"So, what happens now?" She asked, suddenly feeling shy.

He leaned forward and kissed her on the lips. It wasn't a lustful kiss. It was gentle and appreciative. "How about I take you on a real date?" He said after pulling away. "Saturday night?"

Everyone in the house apart from Jackson and Meredith were on call that night. Amber enjoyed the crowded nature of the house, but sometimes it was relaxing to have an evening with just a few other people. The three of them had ordered pizza and then Jackson had quizzed her on the various bones of the human body for an hour straight. Now, Amber sat in the living room, watching an old rerun of "Say Yes to the Dress" with Meredith.

Amber muted the television suddenly. "Meredith, do you think my brother is too overprotective? She asked.

"No, I think he is just the right amount of crazy." Meredith replied with a sly smile.

Amber laughed heartily. "I mean, do you think there is any chance he would let me…." She stopped for a moment. "Never mind."

"No, what is it sweetie? You can ask me anything." Meredith said, shifting positions to face Amber.

"I want to go on a date…"

A large grin crept across Meredith's face. She slapped Amber's arm playfully. "Details, details!"

"Well he's a soccer player. He's a year older than me and he is really cute." She began, a smile creeping across her face. "He sits next to me in calculus. And he's really smart, but he doesn't try to hide it the way most jocks do."

"Does lover boy have a name?" Meredith asked.

Amber hesitated slightly. "Caleb."

"Oh…" Meredith replied in realization. "Is this by any chance the same Caleb that got you in trouble with Alex last week?"

"He didn't mean to." Amber defended. "It was my fault. I got in the car with him after Alex said I couldn't. He was just being nice."

"You like this boy a lot, huh?"

"I didn't know I did at first." She replied. "But we've been flirting so much lately. Then this morning he left me a note in my locker….and…okay, so I'm a sucker for clichés."

"That would have won me over too." Meredith admitted. "But you're still afraid Alex won't want you to date him?"

"Big time."

"Well, my dear." Meredith said with a mischievous grin. "I've got your back."

Amber smiled with appreciation. Her mother had checked out mentally long before the drug addiction started. Schizophrenia snatched her mother away from her like a thief in the night, without warning and when she was far too young to understand. She had never been able to trust any female authority figure, nor did she want to. Her experiences all suggested that it would end in disappointment or betrayal. In fact, that was the way it tended to turn out with people in general. However, there was something different about the people in this house, especially the women. There were all just so…real. None of them were perfect, and none of them pretended to be. Their imperfections were exactly what made Amber feel like she could trust them. They were similar to her in that way, they were regular people working everyday to find their place in the world.

The next day played out at a rapid pace. School, which usually seemed to drag on for an eternity, flew by at the speed of light. For once, Amber had wished that things could slow down. She had sat up late scheming with Meredith, discussing the techniques of manipulation until Jackson eventually came in and ordered her to get some sleep. Afternoon had come quickly, and the moment of truth had finally arrived.

Amber approached the main wing of the hospital, her stomach turning circles with every step she took. Meredith was in tow, staying within sight in case she felt the need to intervene. It was Friday afternoon; she had less than three hours to convince Alex to allow her to go out with Caleb. Lexie had told her that Alex had assisted on a pediatric surgery that morning and was in a terrific mood. Amber clutched the A+ she had received on her biology test tightly in her hand. 'Butter him up first. Give him good news' was the advice that Meredith had given her last night. Alex appeared through the set of double doors. Amber's heart skipped a beat.

"Hi Alex!" She called cheerfully.

He did a double take, knowing that his sister was never this happy to see him. His first instinct was that she was in trouble. He hoped that wasn't the case, but it did seem to be the most probable.

"Hey kiddo." He said cautiously. "How was school?"

"Great!" She said, a large smile plastered on her face. "My anatomy test went really well. Oh, and look! I got my calculus test back!" She thrust the sheet of paper in front of his face.

"Amber, that's fantastic!" He praised, flipping the sheet over, checking every inch to make sure it was legitimate.

"Yeah, Caleb really helped me a lot."

Alex looked back up at her, contemplating her happy demeanor. "You're kind of freaking me out, kid."

"Can't a girl be happy to see her eldest brother?"

"What do you want?" He finally asked. "And what is it going to cost me?"

"This is not about money!" She proclaimed.

"Did you get arrested?"

"No."

"Suspended?"

"No."

"Pregnant?"

"Alex!"

"Alright, alright." He laughed. "What is it?"

"Can I please, please, please, pretty please, go on a date tonight?"

Alex's pupils became huge. "A date?" He asked, dumfounded.

"Yes." She replied casually.

"Let me guess…Caleb?"

"Perhaps."

"Amber…I don't know…" He began.

"Please Alex! He just wants to go to dinner and a movie. They're both at that shopping center that's like…five minutes from the house."

He thought about it for a moment. "He's not driving you."

"I'll take her!" Meredith shouted from the nurses' station where she had been pretending to look over patient charts.

"Is this your first date?" He asked after a moment, one that seemed like an eternity to Amber.

After glancing around to make sure they didn't have an audience, she nodded softly. "I was always the freak with the crazy mother in high school." She mumbled. "Not exactly in high demand on the dating market."

He sighed. "Okay, you can go."

"Really?" She exclaimed! She threw her arms around him and hugged him tightly. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Once she let go, she turned around and ran straight to Meredith. The two grabbed each other's arms and jumped around squealing like two sorority sisters. Alex threw a playful glare in Meredith's direction. She purposely ignored it and continued celebrating with her young friend.

Amber walked slowly towards the kitchen that evening, silently praying that Alex would not have any arguments about her appearance. Meredith and Lexie had curled her hair, something she hadn't had done in years. Her mother used to curl it for her for church when she was younger, but those days had long since faded away. She hoped the shock of her hair would draw some attention away from the maturity of her outfit when facing the guys. She tugged at the hem of her jean-skirt, attempting to make it look slightly longer. She lingered with one foot in the kitchen, not wanting to reveal herself completely. Alex, Jackson, and Derek were chatting aimlessly around the center island. A hush quickly fell over the room as they spotted her.

Alex nearly gasped upon seeing his baby sister in the doorway. Her brunette hair glimmered in the light of the kitchen, falling around her face in loose ringlets. She was wearing a form-fitting, black top that hung off of one shoulder. It was a bit too flattering for his taste, but he couldn't find the words to protest.

"Hi." She said nervously. She shifted her attention downward and began to adjust the straps on one of her black wedges.

"You…um…you.." Alex stammered, hating how grown up she looked. He was suddenly overcome with emotion, realizing that the days of pigtails and overalls were long gone.

"Please don't make me change." She pleaded, looking up at him, her eyes dusted with an array of smoky colors neatly blended together.

"You look very grown up." He choked out. Amber smiled at him sweetly, hoping that was his awkward way of offering a brother's blessing.

"Take a seat." Derek said suddenly from behind Alex.

"Am I being interrogated?" She asked as she plopped down into a wooden chair next to the kitchen table.

"We just want to talk." Jackson assured her. "No interrogation tactics necessary….if you cooperate."

Amber laughed. "Okay, shoot."

"No making out." Derek stated plainly. "It leads to other things."

"In fact, just refrain from kissing entirely." Alex added.

"Hand holding too while you're at it." Jackson tacked on.

"Don't even let him touch you. He's probably up to no good…." Alex continued.

"Why don't you just put me in a nunnery?" Amber cut in sourly.

"I wasn't informed that was an option, but if it is, I really think we ought to explore it." Jackson said turning to Alex who nodded in agreement.

"Would you three leave her alone?" Meredith scolded as she walked into the kitchen. She stopped to get a good look at Amber. "You look stunning, sweetheart."

"Too stunning if you ask me." Alex mumbled.

"Good thing we didn't ask you." Meredith shot back. Alex made a face, but took the hint and backed off slightly. "So, Caleb's brother is going to drop you off after your date?" She verified.

"Yes." Amber responded.

"At eleven." Alex stated, a menacing tone lingering in his voice.

"Yes at eleven."

"Are you ready to go?" Meredith asked.

Amber nodded eagerly. She had never properly understood the term 'butterflies in your stomach' until this point. A fluttering motion was slowly making its way from her midriff up to her throat. She turned to face her brother.

"Have fun." Alex said with a half-genuine smile. He was doing his very best to maintain composure. After all, he had promised himself that he would refrain from becoming the cliché, emotional parent.

Alex shook his head, shocked for a minute at his own thoughts. Parent? He silently questioned. Is that what I am now? As he watched her walk towards the back door next to Meredith, he knew that it was undeniable…he did think of her as his child. And why shouldn't he? While his mother was fighting a war with her own mind, he quickly became the most important influence in his sibling's lives. He was the one in the front row of every ballet recital, every gymnastics competition, every swim meet. He had been a parent since the day his mother gave up the battle with her illness. Amber was in every way, his.

"You alright?" Jackson's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Yeah man, it's just a date." Alex stated, doing his best to put up a front of someone who didn't care.

"We're still going to kill him if anything goes wrong though, right?" Jackson inquired.

"Oh, hell yeah."

"Is it too early for me to ask for a second date?" Caleb asked as he shifted positions. He stood outside on the back porch with Amber at the end of their date, although he was fairly certain they were being watched. His brother had told him he would wait in the driveway 'as long as needed,' but he couldn't decide if it was too soon to make a move or not.

"I'd like that." Amber replied shyly. She was thankful for the cover of darkness, knowing she could never keep from blushing with mere self control.

They stood in silence, too afraid to look at one another, but not ready to say goodnight either. Amber glanced behind her shoulder, knowing there were three men watching her every move somewhere.

"If you're going to kiss me…" Amber said softly, barely moving her lips. "You should hurry up and do it, because I can guarantee my brother and his merry-men are watching."

A secretive, half smile quickly spread across his face, revealing a set of dimples. "Then I guess I better make this fast." Caleb said as smoothly as he could. He leaned in and allowed his lips to make contact with hers. A set of wind-chimes began to collide behind them as a gentle breeze rolled in. Amber felt a layer of goose bumps form on her skin, not knowing whether they were from the wind…or him.

It took every ounce of will power she had to finally pull her face away from his. "Thanks for the date." She whispered, their fingers still laced together. He squeezed her hand affectionately before she turned away reluctantly and walked in the back door.

Amber stood facing the door for a few seconds after she shut it, lost in a dream state. She spun around, knowing she would inevitably be facing the motley crew who most likely saw the whole thing.

As suspected, three men stared back at her, exchanging glances among one another.

"I take it you had a good time?" Alex asked.

"Yes."

"Did you just-" Jackson began.

"Where's Meredith?" Amber cut him off.

"She's upstairs reading I think." Derek said.

Amber nodded and quickly scurried out of the room, making a direct path for the stairs. She kicked off her wedges by the front door in the foyer before grabbing hold of the banister and running up to the second floor. She knocked on the open door that led to Meredith and Derek's room.

Meredith looked up from the book she was reading it. She quickly slammed it shut and threw it onto her nightstand. She then patted the spot next to her with a smile. Amber grinned and jumped onto the bed.

"Tell me all about it!" Meredith commanded. "Oh wait a second! Lexie, get down here!" She shouted, her chin tilted up towards the ceiling. They two of them waited in silence as they heard Lexie clunking down the steps that led to the attic. She didn't waste any time before diving into the bed with Meredith and Amber.

"Let's hear it." Lexie said as soon as she was settled.

"He kissed me!" Amber squealed.

"On the first date!" Lexie replied with excitement. "That's bold." She said turning to her older sister.

"So bold." Meredith agreed.

"I may have prompted him slightly…" Amber admitted. The two looked up at her in astonishment.

"You little scandal you!" Lexie teased.

"Says the woman who 'kissed' my brother!"

"Oh, she's good." Meredith teased.

"Who is kissing who?" Derek asked as he walked into the room.

"Derek!" Meredith protested. "Girl talk!"

"I didn't realize I wasn't allowed to get my own pajamas." He mocked. "I'm terribly sorry."

"Apology accepted, now get out." She replied.

"Why do I put up with this kind of abuse?"

"Because you love me!" She called after him as he headed back down the stairs.

"So tell me…" Lexie began once they had the room to themselves. "Did he do the classic yawn-and-put-his-arm-around-you bit?"

"Yes!" She admitted, causing the three of them to collapse in a fit of laughter.

"Every teenage boy does that at some time or another. It's like a rite of passage." Meredith added.

"He took forever! I kept waiting for him to do something, but he was so nervous! It was half-way through the movie before he finally got up the courage to bust a move."

"That is such a typical man!" Lexie complained. "They act all confident beforehand, but once you get them on a date, they are hopeless."

"But he was so sweet. He opened doors for me and pulled out my chair."

"That is so adorable!" Lexie squealed.

"So tell me, was that your first kiss?" Meredith asked.

Amber's face immediately drained itself of all color. "Um, yes." She replied a little too fast. Lexie and Meredith shared concerned glances, both knowing that she was lying, but not sure why.

"Is everything alright?" Meredith voiced her concern.

"Oh, yeah." Amber replied superficially. "I'm just tired, it's been a long week."

Amber diverted their attention with a detailed account of her date. When she was done telling them about it, Lexie excused herself to go to bed.

"I'm going to go to bed too." Amber said with a yawn. She stood up and headed for the stairs.

"Amber." Meredith called as she reached the doorway.

"Yes?"

"You know you can tell me anything…right?"

"I know." Amber said with a smile. "Goodnight."

Meredith watched as Amber walked down the stairs, an uneasy feeling building in her chest, knowing that there was something important going unsaid.

Alex walked down the hallway towards Amber's room. It was approaching 1:30 in the morning and he wanted to see if she had gone to sleep yet. He opened her door softly. Her room was completely dark aside from the light that her phone was generating in front of her face.

"Texting Caleb?" He asked.

Amber flinched slightly, unaware that he had come in. "And if I said I was testing out my new Bible App?"

"I would call you a horrible liar."

She gave an innocent smile. "So you caught me." Alex laughed. As unhappy as he was that his little sister was dating, he couldn't help but find her behavior adorable.

"Ok Juliet, time to tell Romeo goodnight."

Amber sighed and punched a series of keys on her screen before setting her phone on the nightstand next to her.

"Now let me see you turn it off."

Amber laughed. "You're smarter than you look."

"How do you think I became a doctor?"

Amber shrugged. "Dumb luck?"

"Very funny." He said, walking over to her bedside. He leaned down and kissed the top of her head. "Go to sleep."

"Goodnight Alex."

"Goodnight Amber, I love you." He said before he shut the door.

He walked into his room and sat down on the edge of his bed, hands laced over the top of his head. He suddenly felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. It had gone off multiple times during surgery that day, but he hadn't bothered to check who it was yet. He didn't really need to after all. It was bound to be the same person who had been calling all week.

He grudgingly pulled his phone out of his pocket and held it up to his ear.

"Aaron." He sighed. "You need to stop calling."


Oh I know, I'm so mean ending it like that. Mwahahahaha.

Hope you enjoyed all of the cuteness! Coming up in the next few chapters: More Lexie and Alex romance and a confrontation with Aaron! Please review!
