Chapter 7
"Stupid alarm clock," Mark groaned and rolled away from Izzie, putting a pillow over his head. Izzie flung her arms out and hit the button to stop the alarm. After having cleaned and showered, despite Mark being 'too tired', there had been lots of sex which resulted in Mark and Izzie having very little sleep.
"What day is it?" asked Izzie.
Mark lifted his head from underneath the pillow, "Monday why?"
"Oh thank god!"
"Most people usually hate Monday's"
"Yeah well I'm off," said Izzie.
"Me too."
"Really?"
He rolled over and wrapped his arms around Izzie. "No but I am one phone call away from cancelling my surgeries."
Izzie reached out, grabbed her phone and gave it to Mark. "There you go."
"It's Dr Sloane, uhu, no I'm afraid I won't be able to do any surgeries today, yes, I will be in tomorrow, well if there is an emergency you can page me, ok well if you'll let my patient's know I'll be going now. Ok bye." He hung up the phone. "So what do you want to do today?"
"Go to the cinema, go for a walk, go shopping, and oh yeah Kill Meredith!"
"Kill Meredith, sounds like fun."
"Oh it will be."
"Can I watch?"
"Even better, you could help."
"Nah, Derek would hate me again."
"I can't believe your meeting him for drinks tonight."
"Neither can I." Izzie raised her eyes to meet his.
"You really missed him."
It wasn't a question but he answered anyway. "Yes I did, he's my best friend, and well now you know what it's like to lose yours."
Izzie thought about George and everything that had happened between them. "I do, I wish that things between us would go back to the way there, but they'll never now. I can't believe I let myself get that drunk."
"Well if you hadn't we probably wouldn't be here right now."
Izzie stared at him for a minute before kissing him softly but quickly on his mouth. "Let's go for a walk."
Mark kissed her back, "ok."
"Swings!" Izzie let go off Mark's hand and ran for the swings. They were taking a walk through the park. So far they had fed the ducks, ate ice cream and got lost in the trees. They had argued on which way to go and eventually Izzie had caved and followed Mark who turned out to be right.
He watched her with a smile on his face as she sat on the swing. She started swinging going higher and higher.
"Come on!" she shouted, pointing at the empty swing next to her.
"No it's fine seriously, swings are not really my thing."
Izzie stopped swinging. "Why?"
"No reason, just don't like them that much."
"You're afraid of heights."
"No I'm not."
"You're a bad liar too."
She could see straight through him. "Ok I have a fear of heights and I am good at lying, just not to you."
She jumped of the swing and threw her arms around his neck, "don't worry your secret's safe with me." At that moment Mark's pager went off, emergency at the hospital.
"Sorry," he apologized to Izzie.
"It's fine I'll come with you I want to speak to her anyway."
"Are you by chance referring to Meredith?"
"Yep."
He laughed and held out his hand. Izzie took it and they walked back to his car. They drove to the hospital and split up at reception.
"Izzie aren't you off today?" Izzie turned around and seen Meredith talking to her.
"I cannot believe you!"
"What?" Meredith was confused.
"I am so mad at you, have you ever heard of the word hygiene." A look of realization came over Meredith's face.
"Oh the kitchen."
"Yes the kitchen, I spent about two hours cleaning it up last night." Izzie was annoyed now.
"Iz, you could have left it and I would have done it tonight."
"You left the oven on, and you didn't even make the muffins."
"Crap, how did you find that out?"
"I raided the bin, I knew they were too good for you to have made, the oven Mer, were you trying to burn the house?"
"I'm sorry," she said meekly, "if you'll forgive me I'll do your post-ops for a week."
"A month?"
"No way!" Meredith protested.
"Do you want in the kitchen again."
"Two weeks, I'll do them for two weeks."
"Fine."
"Are you talking to me now?"
"Maybe, if I can borrow your car."
"Sure but how did you get here?"
"Mark."
"Cool," Meredith handed Izzie her keys and Izzie left and went to the car.
She sat in the parking lot thinking about the last few days. They had been great, she was actually happy, not the forced happy she'd been since Denny but happy the way she was before Alex, before being an intern.
