The next morning, Izzie woke up, her head on her boyfriend's chest. She smiled before opening her eyes. She looked at him, he was already and awake. "Morning."

Mark smiled. "Morning." He leaned down and kissed her.

"I see you were already awake." Izzie said putting her chin on his chest.

Mark nodded. "Yeah." He wiped a strand of her hair that laid on her cheek away. "I love watching you sleep."

Izzie softly smiled at him. She put her hands on his chest and leaned up to nuzzle his nose with hers and kiss him. "I love you."

Mark's arms encircled her waist. "I love you too." He kissed her lightly on her lips.

Izzie looked down at his bare chest and drew an invisible circle on it with her finger. Then something popped into her mind. She looked at him, her eyes wide.

Mark looked at her concerned. "What?"

"Clothes!" Izzie said getting off of him and trying to find her underwear. "We took off a lot of clothes last night, on the stairs! Did you hear Meredith come in last night or anything? Do you think she's suspicious or anything?"

Mark sat up and listened to her panic. He put his hands on her shoulders. He scooted on the bed so he could get closer to her, and then he leaned forward and softly kissed her on her cheek. "Isobel, calm down. If Meredith came home, she would of knocked on your door asking what all the clothes was about, so just relax."

Izzie looked at him. "If she's not home, she will be, so put your boxers on and help me with picking them up." She finished putting her panties on. She noticed her shirt wasn't there, so she picked up his from the night before and put it on.

Mark closed his eyes and let an amused smile spread across his face. He opened them and reached over to grab his boxers.

Once she saw that he was done putting them on, Izzie stood up and grabbed his hand.

Mark stood up once she grabbed it. He was really amused by this.

Derek took a shower earlier that morning and got dressed. He walked into the living room and bent down next to the couch. He nudged the woman's shoulder with his hand gently. "Meredith." He said softly. "Meredith wake up."

Meredith's eyes slowly opened, trying to adjust to the light in the room. She then noticed that she was in his living room, laying on his couch, in a blanket, but she didn't become to aware of the fact that she was dressed. "What happened last night?"

"You feel asleep, and I didn't want to wake you up." Derek told her.

Meredith yawned. "Oh." She looked at the blanket on her, then she looked at him, becoming aware of the clothes she was wearing.

"I thought you might have been cold." Derek said glancing down at the ground.

Meredith sat up and cleared her throat. "Thanks."

Derek stood up. "No problem. Do you want coffee before you go or anything?" He asked nervously.

Meredith took and blanket off of her and moved her legs so now she was in a sitting position on the couch. She shook her head. "No, it's okay." She stood and took her purse off of his coffee table.

"Okay." Derek said stepping to the side to let her pass by.

Meredith walked past him, and he felt him walking in back of her as she walked to his front door. When she got there, she turned around to face him.

"I had a nice time last night." Derek told her.

Meredith gave him a small smile. "I did too. Maybe we can do this again?" She asked a little hopefully.

Derek nodded with a smile. "Yeah, that'd be nice."

Meredith smiled back at him. "Okay." They was a small moment of silence before she started to speak again. "So I guess…" She said awkwardly. "I'll see you later for breakfast."

"Yeah." Derek nodded. "Breakfast. Yeah. Later." He said a little nervous for some reason himself.

Meredith gave him one last small smile before leaving his place.

Derek watched her longingly as she walked to her car.

Alex groaned when he heard someone knock on his door. He reluctantly got out of bed and walked downstairs to his front door. He opened the door.

Addison held up a large box. "I brought donuts."

Alex raised an eyebrow. "We're not going to Izzie's today?"

"No, we are, we're just having a snack before we do." She said walking into his and Mark's place.

Alex closed the door behind her. "Right."

"I have all my favorites, and one of yours. I was being considerate." Addison have him a sweet smile.

Alex gave her a sarcastic smile.

They both walked towards his kitchen.

"Coffee?" Alex asked going over to make some.

Addison nodded. "Of course. There's nothing like coffee with donuts."

Alex chuckled. "I bet." He said making warm mugs of coffee for him and her.

Addison opened the box and took out a chocolate covered donut. She took a bite of it.

"Any news on your dad yet?" Alex asked walking over to where she was and handing her a mug of coffee.

Addison shook her head, walking over to the table in the kitchen and putting the box on it before taking the mug of coffee. "No." She sighed. "But I'm trying to look on the bright side." She sipped the steaming cup of coffee.

Alex nodded, taking out a cream filled donut for himself. "I forgot to ask, how was meeting the novelist person?"

Addison perked up. "It was great. She's coming out with another book this month." She told him, taking another bite of her donut.

"Got her autograph too?" Alex asked with a smirk.

Addison nodded. "Why wouldn't I? She's brilliant."

"Totally." Alex said sipping his mug of coffee.

Addison rolled her eyes. "Anything new with you?" She asked taking a bite of her donut again.

Alex shook his head. "Other than you stuffing your face with a donut, nothing." He gave her another smirk.

Addison took off a piece of her donut and threw it at him.

Izzie's eyes widened when she heard the door knob from the front door start to turn.

Her and Mark had just finished picking up the clothes that were scattered along the stairs.

Izzie and Mark looked at each other. Izzie used her hand to gesture to go up the stairs to her room. Her and him quickly made their way up with the clothes before Meredith walked in.

Meredith walked into the house. She furrowed her eyebrows as she heard loud footsteps. She closed the door behind her. She thought that Izzie must be awake.

Mark and Izzie made their way to her room, closing the door quickly behind them. They dropped the clothes to the floor.

Izzie laid the back of her head against his chest. "Thank god."

Mark chuckled. "Now we just have to figure a way for me to get out without them seeing me in the dressy clothes I had on last night." He said jokingly.

Izzie frowned. She groaned. "Oh god." She looked at him. "I'm going to get changed into some of my clothes, and you get dressed in yours. I have an idea."

Mark smiled at her. "Of course you do."

Meredith smiled to herself. She was really glad that she went to Derek's last night. Like a new step for them, but she wasn't ready to completely trust someone in a relationship yet, but she was getting there. She started up the stairs and walked past Izzie's room.

Izzie walked out of her room quickly and closed the door behind her. "Meredith!" She said with an overly cheerful smile. "How are you? I'm good." She said walking over and pulling at her arm so they were now walking towards Meredith's room.

Meredith looked at Izzie, a little wide eyed. "I'm doing good…" Her room door was already opened, so she stood at the threshold of it. She looked at Izzie. "Are you okay?"

Izzie smiled, overly happy. "Perfect! Everything's perfect." She glanced out of the corner of her eye of where Mark was waiting at the threshold of her room, she gave him a nod. She looked at Meredith and walked into her room. "I love what you've done with this room."

Meredith looked at Izzie, taking a step into her room. "I haven't done anything to it yet."

Izzie turned around and faced Meredith. "Then we should!"

Mark made his way down the stairs, an amused smile playing at his lips. He walked out of his girlfriend's place, and closed the door behind him.

Once Izzie heard the faint sound of the front door closing, she sighed, relieved. "I'm going to go take a shower." She told her. She started to walk out of Meredith's room.

"Izzie." Meredith said stopping her.

Izzie turned around. "Yeah?"

"Take it easy on the caffeine." Meredith said a little worried.

Izzie nodded, and then smiled. "I will do that." She turned and headed towards the bathroom. She sighed again in relief.

Mark quietly closed the door while entering his home. He had heard Alex and Addison's voice. He made his way up the stairs.

Addison heard the door closed quietly. She paused for a moment. "I don't want to know." She said before picking up her coffee and taking another sip.

Alex shook his head. "Me either." He saw she finished her coffee. "Want more?"

Addison nodded. "Sure." She handed him her mug. "Thanks."

Alex stood up with her mug. "No problem."

A half an hour later, Meredith walked into the kitchen. She walked over to make some coffee for herself.

Derek walked into Izzie and Meredith's place, and into their kitchen. "Hi." He said with a smile.

Meredith looked at him. "Hey." She gave him a soft smile back.

"Izzie upstairs?" Derek asked.

Meredith nodded, pouring coffee into a mug for herself. "Yeah, she was acting a little strange when I came in." She told him.

Derek raised an eyebrow. "Really? How?"

Meredith turned around to face him, the warm mug of coffee in her hands. "She was overly cheerful. It freaked me out."

"Overly happy gets you freaked out?" Derek asked sitting down on a stool at the counter island.

Meredith shook her head. "No, but the overly happy like she had been does."

Derek chuckled. "That's Izzie for you."

"I was not being frantic!" Izzie said into her cell phone. She was talking to Mark.

"Iz, honey, you were."

Izzie plopped down on her bed. "I kind of was wasn't I?"

"Yes, you were, but I love you anyway."

Izzie smiled. "Always?"

"Always."

"Want to head over to Izzie's?" Addison asked.

Alex nodded. "Yeah, you go ahead. I still need to take a shower and get dressed."

Addison nodded and stood up. "Okay. Leave the donuts here. I might be coming back for them later tonight."

"Oh, I have no doubt." Alex said picking up his mug of coffee and taking a sip of it.

Addison rolled her eyes. "I don't eat nearly as much as you, so you don't have room to talk."

"Yeah, but I'm proud." Alex said with a grin.

Addison started heading out of the kitchen. "I'm not surprised!" She called in back of her to him.

Izzie walked into the kitchen to find Derek sitting on a stool at the counter island, and Meredith leaning against the counter with a mug of coffee in her hands. "Morning."

Derek looked at Izzie. "Morning."

"Morning." Meredith said raising an eyebrow. The overly cheerfulness that Izzie had before, she was kind of freaked out that that would happen again.

Izzie walked over to the refrigerator to get out eggs. "Everyone have a good morning this morning?"

Meredith glanced at Derek, a soft smile spreading across her face. "Yeah, it was great."

Derek looked over at Meredith. "Mine too." He said softly.

"That's good to hear." Izzie said looking up to see Mark coming into the kitchen. A smile on her face appeared.
