Alex stepped out of the shower dripping wet, quickly he wiped himself down and put on his shorts flopping himself right into bed. Another day ended at the hospital for him, but nothing entered his mind except that scenario of Izzie in his arms at Joe's. He's never done anything that spontaneous before, especially for all of Seattle Grace's interns in his presence. What possessed him to do the unthinkable? Ah, now he remembers. Nicole. The young girl who wanted her first kiss from him. He was a cocky, arrogant bastard who thought nothing of embarrassing Izzie with pictures of her earlier days of modeling. Somewhere along the way, his feelings for her had changed. He lays in bed with a smile plastered on his face staring straight up into the ceiling. He sees her in front of him as if he could reach out and hold on to her as he had done earlier in the evening. He longed to have her in his arms again planting soft kisses all over her. When did Izzie find her way into his heart?

Izzie sat in front of her bedroom mirror dressed only in a tee-shirt brushing her long blond hair. Putting her hairbrush down, with her fingers, she gently caresses her lips, closes her eyes, reliving the taste of his mouth on hers and feeling his gentle sucking. She can still feel his strong arms embracing her tightly. She smiles and wonders when and if it will ever happen again. She never planned this, never expected this. Since their first date, he seemed to occupy her every thought. Arrogant Dr. Alex Karev. When first meeting him, she could never have imagine someone like him in her life, but now, she can never imagine him not being in her life. When did Alex find his way into her heart?
