Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I've been writing it and then rewriting it because I'm starting to get a little bored with what I'm writing. I need more motivation! More reviews equal more motivation. Hint hint nudge nudge. IMPORTANT Just in case people were thinking Izzy liked George after the last part of my last chapter she doesn't. That's why I said that she hoped someone would love him, as in not her. On with the story...

"So, are you coming over for dinner tonight?" Meredith asked Jason as they walked into the hospital together. It had been a week since their fateful encounter.

"Wouldn't miss it for the world." Jason smiled wrapping an arm around her and planting a kiss on her forehead.

"Great, because I really want you to meet my friends properly."

"I do too." he smiled again.

Beep, beep. "Dammit!"Meredith cursed checking the readout on her pager. "I have to go. I'll see you tonight." Meredith asked walking towards the elevator.

"Definitely." he said and they shared a quick kiss before they went their seperate ways.

"Dr Grey." Derek acknowledged her standing next to her waiting for the lift.

"Dr Shepherd." she replied in a blank tone pressing the button.

"I haven't seen you in a while." he said looking at the numbers above the lift.

"I've been busy." she said checking her watch. "With Jason." she added. She notice his body stiffen and felt satisfied by his reaction.

"You know I've met Jason before." Derek said turning to face her.

"Really?" she asked sincerely interested. "When?"

"When I was in New York. We worked together on a case."

"He never told me."

"No?'" he asked. "I thought he would have. I mean after what happened in the lift the other week..."

"No he didn't Derek." Meredith cut him off. "And what happened in the lift the other day was a mistake that won't happen again."

"Really? I was looking forward to it. I was hoping maybe it'd be this time." Derek teased.

"To make sure it doesn't I'll take the stairs. It'd probably be faster than the lift at this rate." she said walking to the stairs.

"No self control." he called after her.

"Who has no self control?" Addison asked coming up behind him.

"No one. You know you've got to stop sneaking up on me like that." he said turning to her.

"Why? Scared I'll catch you doing something you shouldn't be?" she asked smirking.

"Actually I'm scared of having a heart attack finding you over my shoulder all the time."

"Oh, poor Derek, afraid of his own wife." Addison cooed. "You know you used to have a very different reaction."

"Yeah, that was before I found you sleeping with my best friend." Derek retorted turning back to the lift that he'd missed, again.

"I thought we were going to put all that behind us. Make a fresh start." Addison said facing Derek.

"I know Addi, I just have something on my mind at the moment." Derek said still not looking at her.

"Would that something have anything to do with you and Meredith getting caught in a lift last week?"

"You know about that?" Derek said quickly looking up at Addison.

"Everyone knows about that Derek. You of all people should know how fast news travels in this hospital." Addison said cocking an eyebrow. "Care to explain what happened?"

"No, not really." Derek said stepping into the lift and pressing the close door button leaving Addison standing there with a look of utmost disbelief on her face.

"Do want me to bring anything tonight Izzy?" Cristina asked. Cristina, Izzy, Alex and Meredith were in the on-call room having a well earned break.

"No that's okay, I've got it covered." Izzy replied looking in her locker for something.

"Good, 'cause I wasn't going to bring anything anyway." Cristina said leaning against the wall.

"Well, it was nice of you to offer. I think." came Izzy's mumbled reply.

"What's happening tonight?" Alex asked.

"Oh, I would've invited you but, I didn't." Meredith said bluntly.

"Ouch. That's harsh Grey."

"I want to make a good impression on Jason and I figured you're the last person who'd help me do that." she smirked.

"I can live with that, but why are you trying to make a good impression? I mean didn't you do that in Boston when he asked you to marry him?" he asked.

"This is different. This is...in Seattle." she said not even making sense to herself.

"Not good enough Grey. Looks like you're gonna have to invite me." he said smiling.

"Urgh, you're annoying!" she snapped.

"You know you want it." he grinned. Cristina snorted in the background then tried to play it off as a cough.

"Sorry, chest infection." she said.

"It's up to Izzy, she's the one cooking." Meredith said turning back to Alex.

"So what do you say cupcake?" Alex asked wrapping his arms around Izzy's waist.

"Yeah, sure, whatever." Izzy said distracted.

"What's wrong babe?" he asked as she still had her head in her locker.

"I can't find something and it's really starting to annoy me!" Izzy complained.

"What have you lost?" Meredith asked.

"Um, nothing. Nothing important." she said unconvincingly slamming her locker shut.

"Izzy?" Meredith asked, eyebrow raised.

"Seriously it's nothing. Well I'm starved, who wants lunch?"

"Yeah sure. If you're buying." Cristina said getting up from the floor.

"I don't think so." Izzy smiled.

"He's going to be here any second!" Meredith yelled frantically at Izzie and George who were in the kitchen adding the last touches to the meal.

"Calm down, Mer. Everything's under control." Izzy reassured.

"Dammit! My zipper won't do up!. I'm gonna go upstairs and quickly get changed. Let him in if he arrives." she yelled rushing up the stairs.

"What is that, the forty-second time you've changed?" Izzy called back.

"Shut up." she heard Meredith mumble from her room.

"So, Georgie, you think you'll be able to handle this?" Izzy asked seriously, turning to George.

"If you stop calling me Georgie."

"Sorry, I'm just worried about you."

"Don't be. I don't need any sympathy."

"I know you don't want to now, but you can talk to me about it. My door's always open."

"What are you, a psychiatrist now? Being a surgeon isn't good enough anymore?" George teased, playfully hitting Izzy with the tea towel.

"Ugh, psyche's, they make me shiver." Izzy reeled laughing.

"So, how long have you two known each other?" Izzy asked Jason. Cristina and Alex had arrived and they were all sitting at the table for dinner.

"We met in college. Meredith was a freshman and I was a senior at Boston College." Jason smiled at Meredith.

"Ooh, what was Meredith like back in college?" Cristina asked swallowing her mouthful.

"She was a real party girl. That's how we met, at a party." Jason explained.

"Really, I would have never pinned it. She's all Miss Practical now." Cristina said.

"I'm a surgical intern, I have to be." Meredith retorted.

"What about me? I'm an intern and I'm living it up." Alex added through a mouthful of potatoes.

"Really? When was the last time you did something non-work related?" Cristina asked sceptically.

"I went to Meredith's for dinner." he explained grinning.

"Very funny." Cristina said throwing a carrot at him which hit the side of his head.

"Looks like Yang's in the mood for a food fight." Alex said grabbing a handful of peas.

"No! There will be no food fights! I cooked this meal in order for you to eat it." Izzy yelled putting her arms up. The rest of the table laughed as Izzy shot warning glances towards Alex and Cristina.

"I had a great time." Jason said kissing Meredith on thee forehead.

"You did?" she asked.

"Yes, I did." he laughed at Meredith's obvious nervousness that the night wouldn't turn out how she planned. "You're friends are great." he added.

"You don't want to stay the night?" Meredith asked again hoping to change his mind.

"I better not." he said

"Why?" she asked.

"Um, you know I really don't know why." Jason said contemplating this.

"Well if you have nothing better than that..." Meredith said pulling him back inside.

Okay guys like I said earlier I need more motivation. I've been getting less and less reviews so if you want to read more come on and hit that little purple button! (although I personally think it's blue, but hey that's just me. lol) cya! xoxo
