It had been 2 days since Denny was discharged from the hospital, 48 hours since she last saw Denny and today was her last shift and then it was sweet annual leave bliss for Izzie.
It was a long day at the hospital, some idiot decided to light a cigarrete around his oxygen tank, causing it to explode in his face, but he lived, a full day of sutures, burns and assisting with orthopaedics, it was finally time to go home and sleep.
It was a clear night as Izzie stepped out of the hospital, and to her suprise, standing there, right there by the parking lot was Denny, dressed in a suit, with a bunch of red roses in hand, his smile could melt her heart if she wasnt careful. She bit her lip as she walked up to him.
'Denny? Why are you here?'
Denny smiled and held the flowers out to her as he spoke
'I wanted to see you, its weird, I saw you so much in hospital that when I have to go 2 days without seeing you, it damn near breaks my heart'
He smirked as he carried on
'Plus I still need to get in those panties'
Izzie laughed, rolling her head back, she had missed his flirtatious banter so much, she took his hand, sniffed the roses and smiled as she asked
'So what have you got planned this week? Im off so I can care for you as much as you need'
She smiled up to him as they began walking to a car that was waiting.
To Izzies suprise, there was a very snazzy looking bentley parked up, driver waiting.
'Is this your car?'
Denny smiled and nodded his head
'Yeah, family of doctors so we have a bit of money'
Izzie nodded and smiled
'So you were telling the truth when you said you had money'
'Yep, I never lie these days.. Must be a side effect from you'
He winked at her causing her breath to catch, she smiled, as he opened the door for her to enter.
'Thank you'
She sat and watched as Denny gingerly entered on the other side, sitting next to her, he gently placed her hand in his and chuckled to himself, causing Izzie to raise an eyebrow.
'Whats so funny?'
'Nothing, just.. well I didnt think I'd make it here.. I always thought that I would end up dying, that there would be a complication down the line but... there isnt any complications, its suprisingly perfect..'
She noted the concern in his voice and the frown evident on his brow and covered his hand with hers.
'You made it Denny, you're not going to die... I wont let you'
He smirked at her comment and raised his own brow in curiosity
'So you are definitely into me'
Izzie chuckled and nodded her head in agreement
'Yes, I am'
'Good, now lets go get some food and then I'll drop you home'
Izzie was suprised to find that Denny has booked a reservation at a rather classy resteraunt, a bit too classy, so classy that she felt out of place in her jeans, blue shirt and denim jacket.
'Are you sure that I look ok?'
'Iz, you look beautiful, dont worry, you'll be fine'
He placed a hand on her back as he led her inside, met the staff and then went to their seats.
'What do you want? You can have anything on the menu'
He smiled as he watched her eye the menu, scrutinizing the price for a glass of water, she bit her lip as she pondered what some of the meals were as she did not speak Frech.
'Erm... how about I'll just have the same as you'
Denny chuckled and nodded his head, he raised his hand to call for the waiter who came eagerly and took their order.
Izzie was rather suprised by just how delicious the food was and could understand the price for such a delectible taste, she sipped on her wine and eyed Denny curiously, debating on wether she should ask if he had brought many women to a resteraunt like this, because of course he has, Denny was indeed a catch, not many women would say no to him considering he was handsome, kind and genuine. He was probably the most genuine person she had ever met, and although he had money and taken her to a fancy resteraunt, he didnt act the way wealthy people usually did act, he was kind to the waiter and gave him a very generous tip, he didnt scrutinize Izzie for not understanding the menu and most importantly he remained himself.
'So, am I getting into your panties tonight?'
He smirked as he saw the blush rise to her cheeks as she coughed her wine up from shock, Denny was anything but discreet as even the waiter eyed him curiously by his comment.
'Well, I suppose I should tell you that I have taken a vow of celebacy'
Izzie smirked as she saw his grin drain from his face.
'Well how am I supposed to get into your panties now?'
She giggled as she eyed him
'Ive taken up knitting.. Meredith has taken a vow of celebacy, so I decided to join her and we are both knitting a sweater for George, because Mer cannot knit'
He laughed and nodded his head
'Ok so your not even knitting me a sweater?'
'You'll have to wait and see, your birthday is next week right?'
He nodded in agreement and smiled gently, reaching his hand out to meet hers.
'Who knew I would reach 37'
'I knew you would'
She smiled softly as they sat there in perfect silence, appreciating the others existence.
'Do you want me to pay half?'
Izzie asked as they prepared to pay the bill, Denny shook his head, pulling out his wallet.
'No Iz, Ive got this one, you can pay the next'
He smirked as she looked at the price that she would be expected to pay if she brought him here on their next date.
'I fancy having a burger from mcdonalds or Wendys'
He smiled, sending her a wink which caused her to giggle
'I could probably give you better than that'
'Well breakfast in bed is always an option'
He smirked, before shouting ouch as Izzie had kicked his leg playfully under the table
'Good luck with that'
She smirked in return.
On the ride back to Merediths house they remained hand in hand, not completely wanting to leave the others side, Izzie bit her lip as she debated on inviting him inside. They reached the porch and Izzies heart cleched as she noted the sadness in Dennys eyes, he didnt want to leave her, and for gods sake she didnt want to leave him.
'Come inside?'
'You sure? What about that vow?'
He grinned as he saw her smile.
'We can have breakfast in bed since I'm not working for the week'
Denny nodded his head and sent his driver away, they entered together and headed for the kitchen where Meredith and George were sipping coffee.
'Hey Izzie.. Denny... Have a good night?'
Meredith asked as she watched the couple enter, Izzie smiled and nodded her head, she had a fantastic night, everything is fantastic with Denny around.
'Yeah, Im stuffed but I need water'
She headed to the cupboard to get a glass for herself and Denny and then to the sink to fill it up with water. Denny sat at the table and began talking to George.
'Georgie, do I need to beat you up?'
This comment startled George as he stammered
'N..No, w-w-why?'
'Well Iz here is making you something but she's not making me one'
He winked playfully to George, causing George to smile and nod in understanding.
'Ah you have to be living here to recieve items like that'
George replied, eyeing Izzie who was now becoming rather frustrated by the 2 mens banter.
'You, Bed'
At that Denny rose and followed Izzie up the stairs, stating 'goodnight' to the other interns.
Denny was suprised by how well kept Izzies room was, he had expected her to be a bit of a slob considering she worked so much, but it was clean, fresh sheets, no clothes around barring a bra hanging from the bed post. He watched as she began to remove her Jacket, then her shirt, biting his lip he wanted to say something, reassure her that there was no pressure, that he was more than happy to wait but Izzie had beaten him to the punch as she spoke.
'Im just getting my pyjama top on Casanova'
She smirked as she turned her head slightly to see Dennys face but found herself stopping short as she noted the moonlight hitting his features perfectly, she slowly walked over to him and placed a hand on his chest, just above where his incision would be.
'Are you ok?'
She asked softly, her eyes drowning in his own as he looked down at her, a gentle smile on his lips. He raised a hand to place on her cheek and slowly drew her in so their lips could meet in a slow and tender kiss.
Izzie drowned, her emotions high and the adrenaline pumping as they began to deepen their kiss, Dennys jacket had plopped to the floor and Izzie was tangling with the buttons on his shirt as in that moment she just wanted to feel him, all of him, once the shirt was off she came up for air and looked at him in the silhouette of the moonlight, appreciating the purple incision that ran down his chest. She placed a hand over his newly beating heart and smiled, she was so proud of this man and his strength to overcome his prognosis, to survive surgery and his new willingness to live.
'You ok Iz?'
He asked, lifting her chin so he could see her in the soft glow of the moonlight, she nodded and smiled.
'Yeah.. I just never thought I could be so happy'
He nodded in agreement and chuckled
'I definitely did something right in a past life, you are my karma'
He met her lips with his own and relished in the feel of her next to him, slowly they proceeded to the bed where Izzie had come to the conclusion that celebacy was most certainly not for her.
