"What?" Mike asked as he did up his tie. "Lily why are you looking at me like that?"

"Loose the tie."

"Really?"

"Trust me and wear your blue shirt instead oh the white, it brings out your eyes," Lily teased fluttering her eyes. "You need to relax, it is just Meredith."

"Yes, Meredith who is a medical jock, I feel like a cheerleader."

"Well you don't look like one."

"I'm glad."

"If you don't get going you are going to be late."

Mike looked down at his watch. "Crap you're right." Mike switched his shirt and put his jacket on. "This good?"

"Perfect, good luck," Lily gave Mike a quick peck on the cheek before he ran out. "Don't do anything I wouldn't do!"

OoOoOoOoOoO

"This date better be good. I shaved my legs." Meredith was pacing through the bathroom trying to put her earrings in.

"It will be, you look hot," Izzy said from her seat on the toilet. "You need to relax."

"I can't. I haven't had a real date since, well before Derek."

"Well I think you two are good for each other. You both know the job, have the same hours and you like his little sister and he's a nice guy."

"Thanks." Meredith zipped up the back of her dress and let her hair down. "Good?"

"Put a necklace on," Izzy suggested as the sound of a knock came from the downstairs door. "Don't worry George will get it."

OoOoOoOoOoO

George answered the door knowing who it was. He should have asked her out sooner. Yet here he was opening the door to Mike, her date. "Hi."

"Hello, it's George, right?"

"Yeah come on in Mike."

"Thanks." Mike paused as Meredith walked down the stairs. Her hair was down and she had a very short dress on. Mike had only seen Meredith in jeans, scrubs, or sweaty gym clothes. "Wow." Mike and George both had to pick their jaws up off the floor.

"Thanks," Meredith said blushing slightly.

"Shall we?" Mike offered his arm to her and they headed out.

"Are you okay?" Izzy asked placing her hand on George's shoulder.

"You think Meredith would mind if I broke into her Tequila stash?"

"Nah, I'll help you."

OoOoOoOoOoO

"You look amazing," Mike said opening his car door.

"Thank you," Meredith said getting in. "You look quite dashing."

"Well it helps having Lily, my fashion consultant."

"I know what you mean," Meredith smiled as they drove. "This is Izzy's dress."

Mike laughed and took hold of her hand as they drove. "I'm really glad we did this."

The rest on the date was regular small talk; work, Lily, the gym, weather, the usual. At the end of the evening they found themselves making out in Mike's car, a position Meredith was becoming more familiar. "I had a really great time," Meredith said coming up for air."

"Me too." Mike cooled off as he and Meredith got out. "Can we do this again sometime?"

"Defiantly." Meredith pulled Mike in for one last kiss before heading back inside.

"Good time?" Izzy asked, she was obviously watching from the front hall.

"Great time."

OoOoOoOoOoO

Mike found Lily asleep in front of the TV when he got home. "Hey kid," he whispered picking her up, taking her into her room.

"Did you have a nice date?"

"I did. Good call on the tie by the way," Mike said putting her down on her bed.

"You should listen to me more often."

"Go to sleep genius. I'll see you in the morning." Mike pulled a blanket over his sister and headed to his room thinking of Meredith.
