Crap! Stop it, Meredith! Do not … oh, crap! She knew she had lost the battle when she felt his body go rigid against her.

A while ago, he had pulled her out of their sitting position to lean her against the shelf, and then he proceeded to do some naughty, gloriously naughty, deliciously glorious naughty, things to her body that made her knees go weak. The fingers that were causing those delicious swirls of pleasure on her puckered nipple had now suddenly gone still, and the incredibly arousing assault of his tongue in her mouth ceased. The hand that he had wrapped around her waist to protect her from the hard column of the shelf tightened as well.

He stared at her in disbelief before pulling a couple of feet away from her, his hands on his hips.

"Seriously? Dude … you just ruined the moment." His eyes were fixed on her bare breast, her bra hastily drawn under it, her scrub top bunched carelessly above.

The giggling that had 'ruined the moment' became more uncontrollable, erupting into a bubble of laughter at his bewildered-yet-annoyed expression. She placed a hand on her bare midriff and the other went to cover her mouth to smother the laughter.

"I'm so sorry, Alex," she said in between giggles. "I don't know why … it's just that …"

"For the record, Grey, no woman has ever started giggling while making out with me," he drawled, closing the distance without making contact.

She closed her eyes to compose herself, but his nearness didn't assuage the tickling sensations racking her body, attacking her already heightened senses. She opened her eyes to warm brown eyes staring back, an amused twinkle in them. She put her arms around his neck to draw him nearer.

"I'm really sorry, Alex," she continued giggling, faltering when she felt his hand on her breast again, torturously giving it a few flicks before fixing her bra and scrub top. "I couldn't help it. It's just that … it was so funny … you know, making out in a supply closet."

"Why, haven't you done it before," he asked, nuzzling her neck.

"No, I can't say that I have," still giggling.

"Well, then, it's about time you get introduced to the pleasures of hospital-closet sex, and I'm just the guy for the job," he drawled seductively, grinding his hips against hers.

"I'm looking forward to it," she said --- yup, you guessed it, still giggling.

"Stop laughing so I can kiss your mouth properly," he said in frustration against her smiling mouth.

"Okay, break it up you two," Cristina said in a bored tone, causing them to jump apart. "Mer, I need to talk to you."

Cristina turned to Alex, delighted to have flustered him.

"Evil Spawn, go find another closet for your nasty-nasty sessions," she leered then turned to her best friend. "Seriously, Mer, there should be rules about the use of this supply closet. We come in here to hide, so NO sex in here. You'll have to find another closet for that."

Getting over her initial shock at Cristina's entrance, Meredith glanced at Alex, another attack of the giggles sneaking up on her at his mortified expression. She took a step towards him, but stopped when he started to fidget nervously.

"What makes you think we were making out," Alex asked in a choked voice, a blush creeping along his neck.

"Haven't you learned yet that Meredith makes really loud inappropriate noises during sex? When she started giggling, I figured you've finished doing the deed."

Sending Cristina a reprimanding look, she put her hand on his arm to calm him down, rubbing gently until she felt him relax a little.

"Don't mind her. She's doubly bitchy because of the wedding. I'll see you later," she assured him softly.

He glared at Cristina, annoyed that they were interrupted and slightly embarrassed for getting caught, and then he looked at Meredith to gauge her reaction. Despite the awkwardness of the situation, she didn't seem to be freaked out by getting caught, and more interestingly, getting caught making out with him. Encouraged by that observation, he shrugged and leaned into her to plant a kiss on her smiling mouth.

"K, I'll see you at home," he replied, smoothing her hair before turning to leave. He threw a menacing glance at Cristina as he walked out of the closet.

Cristina snickered as the door closed behind him. "Lover boy looked all shaken."

"Quit it. You scared the crap out of us," she hissed, but the humor of the situation got her giggling again.

They sprawled out on the floor facing each other, taking their usual positions.

"One of these days, you're gonna have to tell me how you do that," Mer said.

"Do what?"

"Catch me at my most humiliating moments."

"And spoil all the fun? I don't think so."

After their laughter had finally subsided, Cristina kicked her friend to catch her attention.

"Meredith, what the hell is going on between you and Alex? You're making out in closets now?"

A/N: Will continue Mer-Cristina conversation in the next chapter. It's midnight so I have to go to bed.

Poor Derek --- seems everyone dislikes him. Now Alex and Mark are the ones being dreamy on the show. Sigh. Hey, easier for me to write. LOL

AuburnH --- I'll dedicate the next sneaky closet scene to you since this one wasn't steamy enough. No interruptions next time. LOL.

JenniferL, Petra79 --- you sure know how to get a girl to blush and feel good about herself. Those were just the sweetest compliments. Thank you … from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Ciaobella06, Murgy31, LaFilmeMichelle, Cabot007, Greys-Angeles, ilajkajas2215, Coppie --- I used to imagine McDreamy saying and doing those things to ME; now I just imagine Alex. LOL. thanks for the reviews.

Coppie --- after that scrub room scene between Mer and Mark (3x21), I actually started a fanfic about them, but I had just uploaded two stories. Maybe after this one. Thanks for the review.

Again, thanks heaps for the reviews --- because of all of you, I can't update my merder fic --- and I hope you continue to enjoy reading this.
