Two weeks later

Izzie's eyelids fluttered open, she noticed that there wasn't a man next to her in her bed. Her alarm went off, she leaned over and turned it off. She felt the spot where he once was, the spot was still warm, so she knew that he hadn't been gone long. She looked up as she heard her door open. She smiled as she saw him holding two mugs of coffee in his hands.

"Morning." Mark said with a smile as he walked over to the bed.

Izzie slowly started to sit up with a yawn. "Morning." She gave him a tired smile.

Mark sat down on the side of her bed and handed her a mug of coffee. "Last night was fun." He said with a smile.

Izzie took the mug gratefully with a small smile. "It was. Who knew Alex knew all the words to the Gettysburg Address?" She took a sip of her coffee.

Mark chuckled. "I didn't that's for sure." He leaned down to her and gave her a soft kiss on her lips. "How did we even get on that topic anyway?"

Izzie let out a small laugh. "We were flipping through channels and we heard something about it on the History Channel (A/N: do not own)."

Mark nodded. "That's right. I wonder what else he knows." He said jokingly as he watched her sit next to his on the side of her bed. He put his arm around her shoulders.

Izzie nodded. "I'm hungry." She sipped her coffee.

"Then I guess you should make breakfast." Mark told her playfully.

Izzie smirked at him. "Not that kind of hungry."

Mark raised an eyebrow. "Really?"

"For the past three days, I've put my alarm thirty minutes early." Izzie gave him a wicked grin.

Mark smiled. "And you didn't tell me this why?"

Izzie shrugged. "I wanted you to get use to it."

Mark nodded as he took both their mugs and put them on her nightstand near her bed. "I'm all for it."

Izzie laughed lightly. "Wow."

Mark smirked at her. "You just wait and see how you'll say it then." He put his hands on her waist and brought his lips to hers feverishly.

They parted after a few moments when breath became necessary. "I really need to take a shower." Izzie said with a mischievous grin.

Mark smiled. "Me too." He put a hand around her back and put another under her legs and stood up with her in his arms.

"I love you." Izzie told him with a smile as she quickly put her arms around his neck.

Mark kissed her. "I love you too."

Derek was just getting out of bed when he heard a knock at his front door. He walked to it wearing black men's stretch pants and a white manly tank top. He opened the door, surprised to find Meredith at his doorstep. "Hey."

Meredith smiled nervously at him. "Hey."

"What are you doing here? Is everything okay?" Derek asked a little worried. He couldn't think of any reason why she was here this early in the morning.

Meredith nodded. "Yeah, everything is fine. I just…" She took a deep breath. "I want to explain to you why I don't want to go out on a date with you."

Derek looked at her surprised. This is what he had been waiting for. He quickly nodded and opened the door more and stepped to the side. "Come in."

Meredith stepped inside of his apartment. It looked clean, of course there was the thrown book and DVD on the ground where she could see.

Derek gestured toward the living room. "Sit down."

Meredith glanced at him and made her way into his living room. She walked to the couch and sat down on it. It was soft, comfy, very cushiony.

Derek walked in and sat down next to her. He figured he might need to brace himself for this, and so he did, in his mind. "What is it?"

Meredith looked down in her lap and put her hands together. She took another deep breath and looked at Derek. "Three years ago… I got engaged-" She was cut off.

Derek looked at her shocked. "You're not still married are you?"

Meredith shook her head quickly. "No! No! He cheated on me."

Derek's face softened.

Meredith avoided his gaze. "With his boss, and ever since that happened I haven't felt right in a relationship. I'm sorry Derek."

Derek nodded and sighed. "I understand." He took her hand and put it in his. "But when you're ready, I'll be here."

Meredith looked at their hands together and then up into his eyes. He wasn't lying, and it made her have hope. A small smile crept upon her face.

Alex groaned as he heard his cell phone go off. He kept his eyes closed as he reached over for it. It took him a few tries, but he finally found it and picked it up. He opened it, refusing to open his eyes. He put it to his ear. "Hello?"

"Still in bed?"

Alex rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand. "Yes, Addison. I am."

"Bum."

Alex rolled his eyes.

"I officially give up on Meredith and Derek, and Mark and Izzie. They're going to have to figure it out all by themselves."

Alex chuckled when he heard her huff over the phone. "Bought time you finally give up. I did a long time ago."

"That's why you should learn to stick with your guns Karev!"

Alex shook his head. "I will totally do that Addison." He said sarcastically.

"Sure you will. Alex?"

Alex sat up and stretched the arm that wasn't holding the cell phone. "Yeah?"

"I'm coming over soon. Get coffee prepared."

Alex was about the say something, but she hung up before he could. "Bitch." He muttered.

Izzie put her arms around Mark in the shower.

Mark put his hands on her waist and met her halfway in a sultry kiss. He moved his hand to the back of her head to bring her lips closer to his.

"Mark. Shampoo." Izzie said against his lips.

Mark nipped at her chin, then kissed down to her neck. "Shampoo. Right."

"Mark." Izzie moaned out. "I really do need to shampoo my hair before the water runs out."

Mark kissed up to her collar bone. "And you will. Just not yet." He kissed up to her shoulder and nipped at it.

Izzie bit her lip, refraining another moan. "Mark-"

Mark cut her off by putting his lips on hers, slipping his tongue into her mouth.

Izzie put her hands on the side of his face. Oh yeah, she'd wait.

Derek led Meredith to the front door. "Are you sure you don't want to stay and have some coffee or something?"

Meredith nodded and gave him a small smile. "I'm sure."

Derek opened the door for her. Meredith walked to the threshold before turning to him.

"If you need anything, I'm here." Derek gave her a sincere smile. He leaned down and kissed her cheek.

Meredith smiled as he felt his lips on her cheeks. "I know." She looked at him, full of hope. "Thank you."

Derek shook his head. "You don't have to thank me for this."

Meredith took his hand in hers and gave it a squeeze. She let go and turned to leave.

Derek watched her go for a few moments before closing the door. He smiled to himself.

Meredith sighed in relief as she got to her car. This definitely went better than she thought it would. She smiled to herself.

Alex had just finished pouring coffee in two mugs when he heard a knock on the door. He didn't even bother changing from the clothes he wore to bed to the ones he went to work in. He walked to the front door and opened it. "Hello Satan."

Addison rolled her eyes. "How many times have I told you! I'd prefer Ruler of All that is Evil." She looked at his choice of clothing. "Bum."

"Nice Addy. Real nice." Alex said stepping to the side to let her in.

Addison walked in. "My boss says I need to expand my cliental."

Alex chuckled and closed the door behind her. "You're already one of the best. Why would he think that?"

Addison rolled her eyes. "I don't know. Besides, it's the new boss. He's like your cousin James."

Alex furrowed his eyebrows as they started walking towards the kitchen. "You hate my cousin James."

Addison looked at him. "Exactly."

"Ouch." Alex said grabbing the mugs off the counter and handing one to her.

Addison sipped her coffee. "You telling me."

Mark and Izzie smiled at each other as they wrapped white towels around themselves.

"I'm glad Meredith isn't home yet." Izzie said, relieved.

Mark smirked. "Why? Because you know that she would hear you screaming out my name?"

Izzie smiled and slapped his arm lightly. "No!" She put her hands on his biceps and leaned up and kissed him. "I'm not that loud."

Mark continued to smirk. "Yes you are."

Izzie kissed him again. "I." She kissed him. "Am." She kissed him once again. "Not."

Mark mocked her and kissed her. "Yes." He kissed her. "You." He smiled and kissed her. "Are."

Izzie groaned and put her head against his chest. "God, I am."

Mark's arms encircled her waist. "That's the first step to recovery."

Izzie started to laugh as she took her head off his chest. "Shut up!"

"Gladly." Mark smiled at her and kissed her.

Meredith sat in her car. She hadn't started it yet to leave. She let the memory of the very first time she met Derek to consume her mind.

FLASHBACK

Izzie ran and hugged a man with dark hair, he was pretty cute. She let go and looked at her friend. "Meredith, this is Derek."

Meredith looked at Derek. He was very attractive. "Hi."

Derek couldn't take his eyes off the woman who was like his sister's friend. "Hi."

"I have something for you! I'll be back!" Izzie smiled happily and made her way into the building to go to her dorm.

Derek and Meredith stood there awkwardly. They smiled at each other.

"So…" Derek said putting his hands in his pockets. "What are you preparing to be?"

Meredith cleared her throat a little. "I'm not completely sure yet."

"Oh. Okay." Derek glanced at her. "Well… It's nice to meet you." He stuck his hand out for her to shake.

Meredith smiled at him and put her hand in his. A spark igniting within not only her, but him. "It's nice to meet you too."

Their eyes connected.

Izzie walked to them and stood to the side for a moment. She looked between the two, a smile on her face.

END FLASHBACK

Meredith then had thoughts of what would of happened if she hadn't of dropped out of college. Maybe she would of seen him again. Maybe that would of distracted her from dating that guy that she regret ever meeting. That cheating bastard. With that thought, she put her key into the ignition.

Alex and Addison were talking and drinking their second cups of coffee.

"Do you think it's possible for a person to get drunk off of coffee?" Addison asked curiously as she looked at her coffee.

Alex looked at her strangely. "Why would anyone think that could actually happen?"

Addison shrugged and sipped her coffee. "They could… If they put alcohol in it first."

Alex looked at her, amused. "Then they would probably get drunk if they drank enough of it."

Addison nodded. "That's exactly what I'm saying."

Alex sipped his cup of coffee. "How do we even come up with these stupid conversations?"

Addison looked at Alex and shrugged. "Lack of anything better to talk about I guess."

A/N: Since it has been such a long time since I updated, I've decided to make another proposition.

This time, their will only be one saying, but it'll be more than just a small scene. After who you say who says it, you put down the pairing. If you're the first person to get it right, depending on the pairing, it could go from an accidental kiss to someone walking in on beginning of kitchen sex. I am willing to alter something's in this story, depending on the couple of course.

Here's the saying.

"Life's just full of possibilities isn't it?"

That's it. You get it right, you may have the power to alter what you have been waiting for. I won't say it'll be what you expected in further chapters, but something will happen.
