Lunchtime rolled around and Meredith headed to the café. She noticed Mark sitting by himself reading a medical magazine. She sat down across from him without invitation. He glanced up at her putting down the magazine.

"Hey." She said opening her salad.

"Hey." He sighed taking a potato chip from her tray. They sat in comfortable silence. "I have a facial reconstruction in three hours, you in?"

"Definitely."

"Good."

They were quiet for a few minutes when two people walked up. Lexi and Meredith's other intern, Harrison.

"Dr. Sloan?" Harrison said.

"What?" He said taking another chip from Meredith.

"You have a facial reconstruction later."

"I know my surgery schedule. What's you point?"

"Can I scrub in?" He asked. Mark shook his head.

"Nope. Dr. Grey will be scrubbing in."

"Really? I will." Lexi said with excitement. Mark let out a laugh.

"I don't let interns scrub in. Meredith Grey will be scrubbing in." He shook his head laughing again. "Obviously you haven't told your interns about me." She rolled her eyes deciding not to say anything.

"I've been your intern all day. Why does she get to scrub in?" Lexi whined.

"Interns don't get to scrub in." Mark said.

"It's true." Alex commented sitting down next to Meredith. "I cleaned wounds constantly for him and picked up his dry-cleaning and got him coffee." He glared at Mark. "And got how many surgeries out of it?"

Mark stood up not wanting to be near Alex. He started to walk off.

"Mark!" Meredith called but Mark didn't stop. She shook her head.

"What's his problem?" Alex asked. Meredith looked up at Lexi noticing she was still there.

"What do you want, Grey?" She hissed.

"Since I can't scrub in with Dr. Sloan can I scrub in with Dr. Shepherd?"

"No, you have your attending assignment. Dr. Sloan."

"Then can I switch with Dr. Moore."

"No! No you can not! I don't do switches." She yelled standing up. "See you later, Alex."

She walked off in the same direction as Mark.

She opened the door to his office knowing he would be in there. "He didn't know about your deal when he slept with Addison."

"I can't look at him." He mumbled looking up at her.

"Mark…" She said sitting across from him and sighed.

"The wounds are too fresh, Mer."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She was standing at the nurses' station doing post-ops on one of her patients when Derek walked up. She didn't look at him not wanting to make eye contact.

"Dr. Grey," He said harshly. "I need a second intern for my surgery."

"Dr. Rogers is in the pit you can have him." She said not looking at him.

"I want Dr. Grey."

"She's already with another attending."

"Mark? So she'll be getting him coffee?"

"What he does with his intern is his problem, not mine?"

He grabbed her arm and pulled her into the on-call room. "Why can't I have Dr. Grey?"

And… she snapped. Like someone took a pair of scissors to her last nerve and snipped it. "Just because you two meet in a bar and flirted your brains out doesn't mean." She could see the guilt on his face. "Yeah, I saw. I was there, so don't try to deny it. She's on Dr. Sloan's service today." With that she walked out. Derek sighed and fell back on the bed. Meredith hurried into another on-call room as tears rolled down her faced. She sat on the bed crying until her pager went off.
