The next night came about. Mark would guess it was around six, six-thirty maybe. To him, it was early. He was at work, standing at the nurses station, looking over a chart as his friend, a fellow coworker also, approached. "Hey."

"Hey." He, Derek replied.

Mark looked up in thought. "My lines work right?"

Derek raised an eyebrow at him and chuckled. "Will you get over it?"

Mark turned to him. "I am over it." He paused. "My lines work. Not on her, but my lines work."

Derek just shook his head in response.

Mark looked past him to see the blonde beauty with the friend she was with last night. "Oh my god."

Derek turned to look where he was looking. "What?"

"That's her." Mark told him. "That's the woman from the bar."

Derek raised an eyebrow. "Which one?"

"The blonde one." Mark said looking at her as her and her friend were greeted by his coworker and Derek's girlfriend, Meredith, who was dressed in her street clothes.

Derek looked at him surprised. "Izzie's the one you met at the bar."

Mark turned to look at him. "You know her."

"Yeah, I've met her once or twice. She's a good friend of Meredith's sister. They work together." He saw the questioning look on his face. "The brunette is Meredith's sister if you haven't figured that out."

"Ah." Mark said nodding.

"She's also become a pretty good friend with Meredith too." Derek told him.

"How come I didn't know this?" Mark asked.

"Mark, she's not your type." Derek said honestly, knowing what he was thinking, as he walked away.

"Not my type?" Mark asked himself. "Every woman is my type."

Meredith, Lexie, and Izzie made their way to a table at Joe's. It was opened a little earlier that day.

Joe walked over to the three who were now sat down. He smiled. "Hey girls. What can I get for you?"

"I'll take a beer." Meredith told him. "I'll have tequila later."

"You know. Fries sound pretty good right about now." Lexie said.

Izzie nodded. "I'll have what Lexie's having."

They said their thanks to him as he walked away.

Izzie bit her bottom lip, but then spoke. "Do you know about a Mark Sloan?" She asked Meredith.

Meredith nodded. "Yeah. Why?"

"Isn't he the manwhore of the hospital?" Lexie asked.

"That's definitely his reputation." Meredith said with an amused smile. "Why? Are you interested in him?" She asked Izzie.

Izzie shook her head. "No. Just curious." She didn't date.

Something popped into Lexie's head. "Do you even date?"

"How do you know Mark?" Meredith asked curiously. If she's asking about him, she obviously knew him, or met him somehow. Sometimes she got overly curious. She blamed that on that fact that her younger sister might be rubbing off on her.

Izzie ignored Lexie's question and looked at Meredith. "I met him last night here. His pick-up lines don't seem to work on me." She added with a smirk.

Lexie smiled at Joe who brought Meredith's drink and her and Izzie's fries, instantly forgetting her question that she asked her friend. "Hey Joe-"

"Got it right here." Joe said cutting her off, and holding up a ketchup bottle.

"Have I told you how much I loved you lately?" Lexie asked jokingly.

Joe chuckled. "Not lately." He put the bottle, their food, and Meredith's drink in front of each one who they belonged.

"Thanks Joe." The women echoed as he walked away.

Meredith smiled at Izzie. "Seriously?"

Izzie nodded and ate one of her fries. "Seriously."

"I was there with you last night. I didn't see you talking to him." Lexie told her.

"It was after you left. I was sitting by myself less than two minutes when he came to talk to me." Izzie replied.

"He's called a manwhore for a reason." Lexie reminded her.

"Honestly, I think if he finds the right woman, he would be okay with actual dating." Meredith said.

"Why is that?" Izzie asked curiously.

Meredith sipped her beer. "I didn't date until Derek came along." She shrugged.

"Meredith, you had a one night stand with him, then found out he was your boss later that day." Lexie pointed out.

Meredith brushed away her comment. "Other than that."

Izzie smiled, shaking her head. "I don't want to date him. If I'm giving anything to him, it's a friendship, and from what you've told me. That's not going to ever going to happen."

"We should set you up with someone." Lexie told her.

Izzie looked at her. "What?"

"Izzie, I haven't seen you date anyone." Lexie replied.

Izzie shrugged. "I haven't found anyone who interests me." She lied.

"We could put you on ." Lexie suggested.

Meredith looked at her sister. "Lexie, leave her alone. When she wants to date, she will."

Izzie smiled at her. "Thank you Meredith."

"I'm just saying. You need heat in your life Iz." Lexie was about to eat another fry when she looked at Izzie again. "You're not a virgin are you?"

"What? No! What makes you think that?" Izzie asked before eating a fry of her own.

Lexie shrugged. "It would make sense. Men at this day an age all have done it by the age of fifteen, maybe sixteen for the good ones, so then the whole you not dating would make sense."

"I'm not, and I thought we already got off the topic of me dating?" Izzie looked at the two.

"I agree with Lexie." Before Izzie could say anything, Meredith continued. "Not about you and the dating thing. About the you needing heat thing. Which in Lexie language means sex."

"I don't do one night stands." Izzie told them.

"You don't have to do them all the time. One time every once and awhile to scratch an itch is really all it is." Lexie told her.

"Well, I don't have an itch to scratch." Izzie said honestly.

"Good for you." Meredith muttered.

Lexie laughed. "Now?"

Meredith nodded. "We didn't have sex this morning, so it kind of makes me want it now."

"I'm shocked." Lexie faked surprise.

Izzie laughed lightly.

"We were going to, but we were almost late to work as it was." Meredith told them.

"I feel so bad for you. Having such a sexually active relationship like that." Lexie shook her head, obviously being sarcastic.

"Shut up." Meredith said not seriously as she drank some of her beer.

Izzie saw the loads of people who had entered just before and checked her watch. "I have to get going. I have to finish grading the papers I started this morning." She pushed her fries toward Lexie. "You can have my fries."

Lexie smiled. "Thank you."

"Bye." Izzie told the two standing up.

Meredith and Lexie said bye and waved as Izzie walked out of the bar.
