Chapter Eleven.
When Alex awoke the next morning a smile appeared on his face as he gazed at Izzie. She was sleeping soundly, her breathing even. He swept the hair back from her face and kissed her forehead.
He look at his watch , it was five o clock. He had an hour to grab some breakfast and a shower before rounds. He slowly untangled himself from Izzie careful not to wake he. He was unsuccessful.
"Alex." She slowly opened her eyes and gave him a tired smile. "Where are you going.?"
"I have to get ready for rounds. I will be after work."
"Bring food. Pizza maybe."
"You should go back to sleep."
"I can't." She said simply.
"You're not having any pain are you?" The concern evident in his voice.
"No, no pain. I just wanted a goodbye kiss."
"I can do that." He lent forward and kissed her softly. He looked at her as she closed her eyes until he thought she was asleep. "I love you Iz."
"I love you too Alex." Her voice quietly replied.
It was nine o clock when Izzie's door opened and Burke walked through a smile on his face. "I came to cheek your incision."
"I thought a Resident was supposed to do that." Izzie said
"They are. But you are a VIP patient. And Cristina said the residents could miss something."
Once Burk had finished examining her she asked. "So any good news?" A smile on her face.
"I proposed to Cristina, but you al ready know that. She told me she talked to you so thank you."
"You know how you could thank me." She grinned at him. "Let me in on one of your surgeries once I'm back at work."
"Done. The surgery of your choice. But don't tell Cristina that."
She saluted him. "Yes sir."
"I'll see you tomorrow before I discharge you."
It was coming close to dinner and Izzie was listening to her Ipod when Meredith came through the door. She took out her earphones and smiled at Meredith.
"What are you eating."
"Chocolate. George got it for me. Wana piece? It's the good stuff."
Meredith took a piece. "Nice." She ate another piece. "So why are you so happy today."
"Good night sleep?" Meredith raised her eyebrows in disbelief. "Ok. I got back together with Alex."
"You cant be serious Izzie."
"I am."
"But he hurt you."
"You would of done the same thing,"
"No I wouldn't."
"So you mean say if you told Derek you loved him, and he then got back together with his wife, a wife who cheated on him with his best friend. You wouldn't get back together with him."
Meredith said nothing.
"You did. You did because you love him. And I love Alex. He said these things to me. Well sleeping me. He thought I was asleep. Last week and last night I told him I loved him."
"Ok."
"And if he hurts me again. Which I don't think he will. You can beat him up."
"Ok, I'm just looking out for you because I love you and you're like an a younger sister. You know that happy giddy younger sister."
"And I love you too, my grumpy older sister." She smiled at Meredith. "Can you pass my bag?"
"Why?"
"Alex is bringing dinner and I wanted to look nice."
When Alex entered Izzie's room she was walking back to her bed. She had changed into a pair of baby pink shorts and a baby pink camisole with lace at the edges.
After a dinner of pizza and some chocolate cake Izzie was now laying in Alex's arms. "So what are you doing tomorrow."
"I have the day off. So I will be here to take you home."
"You took the day off?"
"Ya. I don't know how you do that."
"We will get more sleep, my beds bigger then this."
"You want me to stay with you at home as well."
"Yep." She then yawned.
"I think sleeping beauty needs to sleep."
"Ya. I'm tired." She then kissed him and laid her head on his chest. "Will you play with my hair till I fall asleep."
"No problem. Night Iz love you."
She snuggled closer to him and Alex covered her with the blankets. "Wuv you too." She said sleepily. Alex waited till she was asleep. He kissed her forehead and wrapped his arms tightly around her before falling asleep himself.
