Meredith and Alex had always been close. Since they were little kids they always had a very close brother-sister type relationship. Because his parents were always travelling Alex and Meredith always spent time together and her parents always considered him a part of their family. He always was a little protective of her but knew that she could handle herself.
When Meredith and Jeff ended their relationship Alex was the only one who didn't coddle her or ask her if she was ok every five seconds or hover over her. He stayed with her when she needed it but gave her space when she needed it or asked for it.
As Meredith and Derek's relationship started to progress Alex wanted to make sure that Derek was a decent guy, but Meredith assured him that he was and that she wouldn't let him threaten Derek.
Meredith was pacing back and forth in front of Alex's office when Alex opens the door from the inside.
"You do know that I can see you pacing back and forth. Right?" He says as they walk into his office.
"How?"
"It's got glass on both sides of the door Mer."
"Oh, right...of course." She said still standing
"So what's up?" He asks her
"Up, nothing's up...why does anything have to be up. I can't just come a visit you in your office?" She said nervously.
"Mer..."
"Ok well see here's the thing. Last night on our date, Derek and I ran into Jeff and his wife which totally ruined our evening. We basically cancelled it, went back to his place and had take-out. But anyway, this morning Derek asked me a strange question which totally caught me off..." she says rambling as she starts to pace back and forth
"Ok, what was the question?"
"He asked me if I still had feeling for Jeff." Meredith said softly
"Well do you?"
"No! No, of course not." Meredith said defensively
"Ok then. What's the problem." Alex asked
"The problem is that I don't think he believed me. And not only that but when I told Cristina about it she said that maybe I have some unresolved feelings for him. I mean isn't that the craziest thing you've ever heard." She said laughing nervously
"I don't know. Is it? I mean considering the way you and Jeff left things off, there must have been a reason why she asked you."
"Alex..."
"Come on Mer. You know I'm not accusing you of anything, none of us are. We just want you to be happy." Alex says in his defence.
"Ok, well asking me something like that makes it seem like I'm being accused of still have feeling for him...which I do not." Meredith says firmly and angrily
"Ok, then what's the problem." Alex asks her
"Nothing. Nothing's wrong. I gotta go." She says
"Meredith, come on. You know that I didn't mean anything...I'm on your side...we all are..."
"It's ok Alex. It's fine." She says as she walks out of his office.
So it's a little short I know, but it's just a filler conversation between Alex and Mer...stay tuned for more!
