As Meredith and Marcos got into the car, he noticed that Meredith was a bit mad. She wasn't like that when they entered the hospital. Then again, he did see the look that Dr.Shepard gave her, and Meredith had told her about a man at the hospital that she once dated.

"So that man, Dr.Shepard, was he..." he trailed off before finishing his sentence as he looked at her.

"Yea, thats Derek. But I don't want to talk about him." she said looking at him. She had told Marcos everything about him. How he met her and persued her until she gave in and went on a date with him; how he led her to believe me was the perfect man; how he had chosen Addison just because she was his wife. Marcos understood what she was going through and she appreciated him for his support. He didn't complain about how much she had talked about him when they first started dating. "I can't stand him anymore, yet I have to work with him everyday. Why does he still bother acting like he cares?" she said now looking out of the window as he drove the two of them back to her house.

"I thought you didn't want to talk about him anymore" he asked with a small smirk on his face. "Look, how about we go back to your place, relax, maybe take a shower- together -maybe go to Joe's later tonite, then finish what we started earlier." he said smiling, trying to cheer her up.

"I can't. I have to go to work really early tomorrow morning, and I didn't get much sleep last night, thanks to a handsome man i know." she said being serious, but still grinning.

"Ah, you say that now, but last night you were a very willing partner, but ok. I guess I can stay home, alone, bored, getting some work done." They had arrived back at Meredith's house and went inside to find Izzy baking in the kitchen.

"Where did the two of you loud-moaners go off to?" she said laughing. "Yes, I did hear you guys last night. And yes, you kept me and George up."

They both blushed and he went and stood behind her putting his hands on her waist, and pulling her back towards him. Izzy was used to seeing him at the house alot, but it was weirder with him. She had first gotten used to Derek being there, yet seeing Marcos instead of Derek at their house was more comfortable. Marcos wasn't their boss, which meant they didn't have to see their boss in his boxers every morning.

"Sorry Izzy. He can't get enough of me." Meredith replied as Marcos started to kiss her neck. "We'll try to keep it down next time."

"Sure" Izzy exclaimed sarcastically. "but can you two try to keep your clothes on before heading into your room. George found your bra on the couch." she laughed.

"I told you I left it down here." Meredith squealed to Marcos.

"I know, I just didn't want you to get it before we were finished." he said smiling. "But hey, I have to go. I need to finish up some of my paperwork. I'll call you tonight." Marcos kissed her once more before he headed out to go home.

Izzy and Meredith remained in the kitchen for some time talking about Marcos and Derek. Meredith was glad Izzy was there to help her get over Derek. But she wasn't really over him. She loved him. She loved his smile. She loved his cockiness. Izzy told her to forget about him. Meredith knew she was right, but Derek stayed in her head. Izzy suggested they go shopping. She knew Meredith wouldn't think about anything while she was picking out new clothes.

Later that night Marcos called Meredith before he went over. She was glad he called. She missed him when he wasn't there. About an hour passed until Marcos finally arrived. Izzy, George, and Meredith were in the middle of watching a movie when he got there. He went and sat down with them, and snuggled up to Meredith. Once the movie was over, they all went upstairs and went to sleep.

Beep Beep Beep. Meredith hit the alarm button to stop beeping. "Ahh, I really don't want to get up." Meredith whined as she sat up in bed.

"Then don't go. Stay with me." Marcos sleepy said.

"I can't. Just stay here and rest. Hang out with George, do something fun." she replied getting up and heading to the restroom. Half an hour later, she was ready to go. Izzy and Meredith went in Izzy's car.

They arrived at the hospital at the same time as Cristina.

"Hey sunshine" Meredith laughed, looking at Cristina who looked tired.

"Shut up. I had a bad headache and couldn't sleep."

"Haha. I finally got some sleep." smiled Izzy. By that time, they were all in the building, and standing at the elevator doors waiting. "I didn't have to hear Marcos and Meredith's sex fest."

"Oh, that's right. From what I heard, Marcos is quite the sex man." Crisitina added.

"You guys love my sex life, right?" Meredith asked laughing.

"Well, it was awhile before your moaning started again." smiled Izzy.

"Good morning ladies." They all turned around to find Derek standing there. They were all shocked. Did he hear what they were talking about? If they were lucky, he hadn't. But the look on his face told them he heard it all. The elevator ride up was silent as it was only the four of them in it. No one talked, until Meredith's phone started to ring.

"Who is it this early?" asked Izzy.

"Hello?" Meredith answered..."oh hey, I thought you were just going to sleep"..."ok"..."then I'll see you at lunch"..."bye."

"Marcos?" questioned Cristina.

"Yup. He's coming for lunch."

The elevator doors opened, and Izzy and Cristina headed out first.

"Meredith" Derek called out.

"What do you want?"

"Can I talk to you?

"No" she said bluntly and left. Derek was starting to regret choosing Addison.
