A/N: Sorry this chapter is so bad. I have been really busy recently and I have changed this so many times and I honestly have no idea what I'm doing. Anyways, please tell me what you think and give me suggestions because I'm really out of it right now. Also, sorry if this seems short, it's about 500 words longer then the last chapter but the scenes are a lot shorter.
"Lexipedia! Are you listening?" Lexie looked up when she heard Cristina yell her name.
"Oh, s-sorry. Yeah, I'm listening."
"Whatever, I can't deal with you right now. Go to Plastics, far, far away."
"Oh, but, um." Cristina walked out before Lexie got a chance to speak. Lexie thought to herself, okay, it's been a week, you can't keep avoiding him. She sauntered around until she found Mark, laughing with Derek.
"S-Sorry to in-interrupt but, um, Mar- I mean D-Dr. Sloan, I'm on your service to-today."
"Ok, the nurse has my charts." He replied as Derek gave him an intent look.
"Oh, um, ok." As Lexie walked away, Derek turned towards Mark.
"You slept with her, didn't you?" Derek asked accusingly.
"No! God no! N-No I… Just no!" Mark yelled. Flustered, he turned around and left Derek standing alone by the O.R. board.
"Grey," Mark said as he found her reading through his charts at the nurse's station, "you have my charts?"
"Oh, um yeah they're right here." She quickly closed the charts and handed them to Dr. Sloan.
"Thanks." Their hands brushed together slightly as he grabbed the charts. They both stood awkwardly in silence as he read over them. Without looking up from the charts, Mark spoke, "I have a rhinoplasty today. Want to scrub in?"
"Oh, um, yes! Yes, Dr. Sloan I would love to scrub in!"
"Ok, go prep Mrs. Kwon." Mark added, still without looking up. Lexie quickly hurried off.
"Lexie!" Lexie turned around and saw Sadie waving her over. "Do you have time to talk?"
"Well I have to prep Dr. Sloan's patient for surgery soon but yeah I have time."
"Ugh, you're so lucky you're on Sloan's service. I mean they only bother with us if they think they can get us in bed."
"What?" Lexie asked. "Dr. Sloan is letting me scrub in and it's not about sex."
Sadie rolled her eyes. "Oh please, he likes you."
"What? No, he doesn't."
"Oh, come on, don't tell me you haven't noticed his eyes on your ass these past couple weeks. He totally likes you." Sadie lightly punched Lexie on the shoulder. Lexie smiled as she thought about what happened in the elevator.
Lexie quickly snapped out of her thoughts. "I have to go prep Mrs. Kwon for surgery." They both laughed as Lexie awkwardly walked away.
"That was amazing," Lexie said as her and Mark scrubbed out after surgery.
"Eh," Mark replied.
"I just wanted to thank you, for giving me a-a chance. Most of the people in this hospital don't bother with us because of what we did… b-but you get it. Anyways, I just wanted to say thanks." Lexie dried her hands off and walked to the door.
"Lex." She stopped. He called her by her first name again. Could he actually like her, like Sadie suggested?
He didn't continue so she broke the silence. "Everything okay, Dr. Sloan?"
"Oh um, yeah never mind." Lexie walked out and Mark followed. Soon enough he had fallen into step with her, they were both going downstairs to do post-op work. Ding. There it was again, the all too familiar sound of the elevator arriving. They both walked in. Just like last time, Lexie could feel Mark's eyes on her, looking her body up and down. It took all her power not to smile.
"So, um-" She tried to break the silence but Mark interrupted her. Before she knew what was happening, Mark had pushed her up against the wall, he grabbed her waist and she jumped up and wrapped her legs around him. Their lips connected into a long, passionate kiss. He pulled away and they looked at each other, both blushing, she smiled and gave mark a slight nod so he hit the red button to stop the elevator. Then he kissed her again, stronger this time, more passionate. He let her down, still connected at the lips. Without breaking the kiss, Lexie wrapped her arms around his neck. He grabbed her waist and pulled her closer, deepening the kiss even more. Lexie let out a soft moan as his tongue entered her mouth. She thought to herself 'Woah, now I know why he's always so confident when it comes to girls.' Her thoughts are interrupted when Mark pulls away from the kiss. He chuckled slightly and pressed the red button to start the elevator again. Still shocked about what just happened, Lexie didn't move. The elevator came to a stop and Mark walked out but Lexie didn't follow him to post-op. She still stood frozen in the elevator. The doors closed and she went back up to find Sadie.
"Oh no, you have that look again. What happened this time?" Callie asked as Mark closed the door to an empty room, shutting them in.
"I slipped up," Mark said.
"Mark, no!"
"I promised Derek that I wouldn't go near her."
"You didn't… um… did you?" Callie asked, concerned.
"No, no, not that. I sort of pulled a Meredith and Derek in the elevator though," Mark said as he sat down and leaned his head on his hands.
"No, no, no, Mark, you have to stay away from her."
"I know," Mark said, wondering if he should continue, "but she's so-"
Mark was cut off by Callie. "No, Mark, no hot interns." Mark let a little laugh out. "You're one of the best plastic surgeons in the country. You can't let a crazy little intern with smiley face posters bring you down."
Without really listening to her after she said crazy, Mark added in, "Crazy hot."
"Mark, no hot interns!"
"So, how was your surgery?" Sadie asked when she saw Lexie approaching her. As Lexie got closer, Sadie could tell something was wrong. "Woah wait, what happened?"
"H-He, he kiss-kissed me," Lexie said nervously as she stopped next to Sadie.
"Dr. Sloan?" Sadie asked excitedly. Lexie swallowed and gave her a slight nod. "Damn, I didn't think he had it in him."
"Wh-what?" Lexie asked.
"Well I knew he liked you, but I didn't think he'd actually make a move. I mean he's Derek's best friend and you're Death's sister. Plus, you're his intern."
After a few seconds of silence, Lexie starts to speak again. "He walked away."
"What?"
"He kissed me and then he walked away."
Before either of them got a chance to continue, they were interrupted.
"Dr. Grey!"
Lexie looked up to find Derek calling her name.
"You're on my service," he said.
"Oh, sorry Dr. Shepard but I'm on Dr. Sloan's service this week."
"Not anymore, he asked to switch."
"Oh, um, ok. Do you know why?" Lexie asked, trying to hide her anger.
"No, he got mad when I asked," Derek answered. "Okay let's go, I've got an aneurysm." Derek said, giving Lexie a motion towards himself. Lexie quickly hurried after him right after giving Sadie one last confused look.
A few days later, Lexie and Mark still haven't talked. Whenever they see each other in the hallway, one of them quickly hurries off in the opposite direction.
"This is torture, Torres," Mark says.
"I know, but you know if you talk to her, you'll end up doing more than just talking."
Mark scoffs at her. "I have to go find Bailey, she's assisting on my surgery, today."
"Ok, bye Mark. Stay strong," Callie said mockingly.
"Screw you," Mark said as he took off.
"Ah, Bailey!" Mark said when he finally found her. "You ready?"
"Yes, I'm excited to try something new. General just isn't doing it for me anymore."
"Okay, you got an intern?" Mark asked, raising an eyebrow at Bailey's panicking face. He looked back down at his computer screen.
"Um," she said as she looked around the hallway for any intern she could find. "Oooh, Grey!" She said excitedly as Lexie turned the corner. Lexie stopped and gave Bailey a confused look. "Yes, I mean you, Grey, get over here." Lexie hurried over to Dr. Bailey.
"Can you be my intern today?"
"Oh, sorry Dr. Bailey I'm on Shepard's service for the rest of the week," Lexie replied.
"Grey, I'm not asking."
"Oh, okay." Lexie followed Dr. Bailey into the room where Mark was explaining his procedure.
"Dr. Sloan is explaining his surgery." Lexie's heart started racing when she heard his name.
"Oh um, I-I don-" Mark looked up when he heard Lexie's voice. He made eye contact with her but quickly turned and looked at Bailey.
Interrupting Lexie, Mark asked Bailey, "Grey?"
"She was the first one I saw," Bailey said to Mark.
"Fine," Mark said angrily as he turned back to his computer.
Lexie walked in slowly and stood behind Dr. Sloan. She zoned out for a couple seconds, thinking about what had happened between the two of them recently. She quickly snapped back into focus but Mark was already almost done explaining the procedure.
"Then we'll insert the newly constructed tube in between the trachea and esophagus just… like… that…"
Realizing she needed to actually know what was going on, Lexie decided to ask a few questions.
"So this valve here will open when she has air in her trachea?" She asked as she leaned forward and pointed at the computer. Her and Mark were almost touching.
"Back up, just back the hell up!" He said with a raised voice. "Dr. Bailey, find Dr. Grey something to do other than interfere."
"Um, Dr. Grey you can go prep the patient for surgery."
Lexie nervously walked out of the room and Bailey accusingly looked back to Mark.
Mark raised his eyebrow a little, "she was in my space!"
A few hours later, the surgery was over. Mark and Lexie barely spoke to each other the whole time.
"Obviously you two need to work something out," Bailey said is the three of them scrubbed out.
"What?" They both asked simultaneously.
"Right here, right now, you gon' talk about it. Don't come out until you're done." Bailey left the scrub room.
Lexie continued to wash her hands. She looked up and saw Mark concentrating on washing his hands too. He looked up at her and as soon as their eyes locked, they both looked back down to their hands.
"So, um about that kiss," Mark started. He looked back to her and noticed even more features he had never seen before. "Um, never mind." He quickly walked out of the room.
Lexie hurried after him "Mark!" She yelled in front of the whole hospital. She opened the door to a supply closet and dragged him in. "I can't deal with this," she said as she shut the door. "I want to be professional but we keep having the-these moments a-and then we stop talking for weeks and you kick me off your service." Lexie shut her mouth for a second and slowed down. "Obviously there's something going on between us but we need to acknowledge it if we want to be professional at work." Mark stared at Lexie for a few seconds, creating an awkward silence. "M-Mark?" Without any hesitation he kissed her. Their lips smashed together passionately.
"Acknowledged," was all he said before he walked out the door.
A/N: Sorry that ending was kind of abrupt. I had a ton of ideas when I started but I kind of forgot them all so I need a little time to figure out where I'm going with this. Anyways hopefully the next chapters will be out sooner and hopefully they will be better and longer. Please give me suggestions, it would really help!
Disclaimer: I used some quotes and scenes from the show and I don't take credit for them or anything, I just really like some of the scenes and I really wanted to use them.
