DISCLAIMER: Don't own anything Grey's Anatomy.
Izzie speed walked from the viewing room where she had watched the open heart surgery, Alex right at her heels.
"I don't get what the problem is!" Alex called after her.
"That's your problem!" Izzie said still walking quickly. The real problem was that Izzie didn't get kissed by Alex on their date and she was rather confused and annoyed about that. So she found a way to pick a fight about everything. "You just don't get it, you never understand, you're so insensitive and you don't car about anyone but-"
"Whoa," Alex said, before he grabbed Izzie's arm and whirled her around so she was facing him. Then Alex continued in a low voice. "Call me anything you want, I know I'm a jerk, and I know I can be an asshole, but never say that I don't care. If I didn't why the hell would I be doing this?"
"If you cared so much you wouldn't have insulted the man who was having the surgery…" Izzie returned. Alex open his mouth to speak but just turned on her heel and left. Alex stood there on the spot his mind in a state of unknowing, he needed to talk to Hunter.
Dr. Burke walked out of the bathroom and right into Addison Shepherd.
"Hello Addison." Burke said formally.
"Hello, Preston." Addison said with a smile. "How are you?"
"As good as I can be this morning, haven't had a day off in 2 weeks and I've been overbooked in the operating room for the past 5 days."
"Well being chief is hard work." Addison admitted. Preston nodded in agreement. Behind him Addison saw Dr. Shepherd come up behind him.
"Hello, Dr. Burke." Derek said heavily, he looked at Addison who made a face that showed she knew something was wrong. Preston noted the wariness of the couple and departed. Addison put her hands on her hips.
"Why'd you run after her?" Addison said licking her red painted lips.
"What?" Derek asked innocently.
"You know what… do you still have feelings for her?"
"Oh, come on, Addison!" Derek said annoyed. "Do we have to go over this?"
"… I just…" Addison started, her superior, manage all shield broke down for an instant.
"I just wanted to make sure that things were not awkward…" Derek said inching closer to his wife. "She's an intern, I'm going to be working with her closely, I didn't want there to be this weird tension that would distract from the work."
"I just…" Addison took a breath. "I just wanted to make sure we were okay."
"We're great…"
Addison left and Derek stayed on the spot for a second thinking, as he was thinking he felt a hard jab on his shoulder, he turned around and saw that he was facing Meredith. She pulled him into and empty room.
"Meredith?" He sad confused and then regained himself. "I though you got off on the other floor, you-"
"Why didn't you tell me about your wife?" She said getting directly to the point.
"What, looks this is all-"
"Answer the question." Meredith urged, hands on hips.
"If I had told you I was married what would you have done?"
"Ran for my life." Meredith admitted.
"Which is why I didn't tell you I was-"
"Which is why you should of told me sooner." Meredith cut him off.
"Look, Meredith, at the time I really liked you and I didn't want to risk…"
"Risk? At the time? What those two months don't just dissapeear, our relationship-"
"And I tried to explain to you what happened!" Derek sad losing some patience. "And what did you tell me? That it wasn't enough, so grow up Dr. Grey. I tried to salvage whatever was left of our relationship and you didn't want to hear it. Now my wife and I have decided to go through marriage counseling, because those years that we were married, can't be forgotten either."
With that Dr. Shepherd left, leaving Dr. Grey in the empty room.
"What an arrogant asshole." Meredith said throwing down a stethoscope she had around her neck.
"Why are you carrying around a stethoscope?" Hunter asked genuinely confused.
"Because she wants to see if her bruised heart still beats?" Christina suggested.
"Oh shut up." Meredith said smiling. "I just was looking after a little boy who came in because his heart kept skipping beats and his parents got nervous."
"Oh…" Hunter said.
"I just am so annoyed with this whole situation," Meredith said plopping down on the bed. "I'm actually just really embarrassed…"
"Don't worry about it." Christina said off-handedly. Suddenly a phone rang; the ringer was the theme song to the cartoon X-men. Hunter jumped up and pulled her cell out of her bag. Christina and Meredith looked thoroughly confused.
"Hello?" Hunter answered. "Oh, hey. What's up? Where are you? … uh huh… are you okay? Okay… now? Yeah, sure I'll take lunch now, alright… yeah that's fine… bye." Hunter hung up the phone.
"Are you kidding?" Christina asked looked as amused as Hunter did in the elevator.
"What?" Hunter asked.
"The X-men theme song?" Meredith asked laughing
"What are you, in middle school?" Christina added.
"Ha-ha very funny," Hunter said smirking sarcastically. "Well, I've go to go.. to lunch that is. I'll see you guys." With that Hunter pulled a coat on over her scrubs and walked out.
Hunter gotten into the elevator, went downstairs and then outside. Standing very close to the doors outside was Alex, his face looked down trodden with emotion. He looked a little happier when he saw Hunter though and they walked toward each other.
"Hey…" Hunter said worriedly as she gave him a hug. "Are you alright?"
"Uh… I'll be fine." Alex replied. "I was thinking we could go to the diner for a quick lunch."
"Why don't we just eat in the cafeteria?" Hunter asked and then realized they were already outside.
"Just wanted to get away for a little while, I've been eating, drinking and breathing hospital for weeks straight… I need a break." He said
"I know exactly what you mean." Hunter said and they started to walk toward the diner. From the window in the hospital that Izzie happened to be looking out of, she saw Hunter and Alex heading off together, which worried her. Some other nurses saw it as well.
At lunch at the hospital there was gossip to fill anyone's ears, as Izzie walked into the cafeteria with George she saw random nurses give looks of pity. Izzie just rolled her eyes and her and George got their food and sat outside with Meredith and Christina.
"George you little tramp..." Christina said before she chomped on a fry.
"Hey, I can't be called a tramp." George said defiantly. "It's the great double-standard."
"Oh yes." Christina returned. "How could I forget?"
"We should call him a pimp." Meredith said.
"Or playa." George said bemused. All three girls stared at him and then simultaneously said:
"No."
"Don't shoot me down all at once…" George said dipping his fry into some ketchup. "So, why am I a tramp?"
"Well the new hot gossip is that you were caught knockin' boots with Hunter." Christina said.
"I knew that was going to get around…." George said annoyed. Meredith, Izzie and Christina stared at him.
"So, you actually did get caught sleeping with Hunter in the on-call room?" Asked Meredith surprised.
"Oh, no, no. We weren't hooking up." George reassured. "Nothing was going on, Hunter and I were kidding around and right when she was on top of me some nurse walked in."
"Nurses…" Christina sneered dramatically. "The spawn of Satan."
"I though Alex was the spawn of Satan." Izzie asked depressed that she had brought him up.
"Yeah, him too." Christina said.
"Speaking of Alex." Meredith piped up. "Supposedly, he's sleeping with Hunter too."
"Oh, come on." Christina said noting Izzie's uncomfortable look at the mention of Alex's possible infidelity. "I'm sleeping with Hunter at this point. I swear there are nothing behind these rumors."
"Except for bored nurses…" Meredith said depressed. Ever since she had gotten to Seattle Grace she had been the topic of all the gossip, nothing really changed.
"Bored nurses that don't get laid." Christina added.
"Hey," Izzie said randomly. "Why was Hunter on top of you?"
George shrugged. "We were just kidding around."
"Probably the same way someone saw Hunter and alex kidding around." Meredith said trying to sound reassuring, but no one wants to her that some girl was on top of there boyfriend. Kidding around or not.
"Where is the devils minion today anyway?" Christina asked.
"Satan's spawn." George corrected.
"I don't know." Izzie said. "I saw him walking off with Hunter."
There was a weird silence. "Oh." Was all that anyone managed.
At the diner Alex and Hunter had eaten as much as they could under the time constraints, and were heading out. During lunch Alex had begun to tell Hunter about everything going on between him and Izzie.
"So you really like Izzie?" Hunter said impressed.
"Yeah," Alex said smiling at the thought of her. "I get nervous when I'm around her now, I'm always afraid to mess up."
"Mess up what?"
"I don't know." Alex admitted, as they crossed a street. "Anything, I feel like she should have the perfect guy because she's so perfect."
"Okay Alex, stop being so sentimental, you're freaking me out." Hunter said with a smile.
"I know," Alex said smiling as well.
"So, why didn't you kiss her the other night?" Hunter asked, hoping that she didn't stir up a bad feeling.
"I…" Alex started. "I really don't know but I want to… fix it."
"Well… Fix it."
"Thanks…" He said sarcastically. "But how?"
"Trust me you'll figure it out." Hunter said in a purposefully wise way.
"Okay, old wise woman." Alex joked. They reached the hospital doors.
"After shift tonight, when we got to Joe's bar, just… sweep her off her feet." Hunter said.
"And that is-"
"Easier said then done. I know."
