-1Chapter 26

"I've just got to go to the bathroom and change my shirt." Meredith says as she Derek and Mark walk through the front door.

"We'll be in the kitchen." Derek says.

"Okay." Meredith climbs up the steps.

As Mark walks into the kitchen his foot connects with something on the floor, he looks down and sees the mixing bowl.

"What the hell?" He says as he bends down to pick it up.

"What?" Derek asks.

As Mark stands back up he holds his hand out, he is holding a bra.

"What's that?" Derek asks.

"Well, I'm pretty sure it's a bra." Mark says sarcastically as he places it on the counter and walks around to the other side of the island.

"I know that, I mean what's it doing here?"

"I'm guessing it's keeping this company." Mark says as he holds up a pair of panties, they both smile.

"Nice panties Sloan." Cristina says as she and Lexie walk into the kitchen

"They're not mine; they were here on the floor."

"What's with the mess?" Cristina asks.

"Is that cookie dough?" Lexie asks, scrunching up her nose.

"We've got to go." Meredith says as she hurries into the room.

"I thought you were going to change your shirt." Derek says.

"Oh, I forgot. I was going to but…."

"Is that my shirt? It's got coffee all over it." Cristina asks Meredith.

"Huh?" Meredith asks.

"What's with you?" Cristina asks just before Izzie burst into the kitchen in nothing but a towel, her hair was wet.

"Meredith, I'm sorry I thought I locked the door."

"It's okay Izzie, really." Meredith says.

A minute later Alex walks into the kitchen in a pair of sweatpants, beads of water are still on his skin. A towel hung around his neck. He casually strolls to the fridge, getting out a bottle of water.

"What's going on?" Lexie asks.

"Are those mine?" Izzie says pointing at the panties that are still in Marks hands.

"Well they're probably not his!" Cristina says, almost laughing.

"Can I have them back?" Izzie asks.

Mark just stands there with a smirk on his face. Alex grabs them as he walks by and hands them to Izzie on his way out. He pauses for a moment whispering something in her ear causing her to smile. He takes another step, playfully spanking her ass before leaving the room.

"Excuse me." Izzie says as she hurries off in the same direction as Alex.

"So I guess they're back together?" Cristina asks.

"Yeah, after what I just saw….definitely back together." Meredith says with a smile.
