Morning of Pleasant Communication
"And all this talk of time
Talk is fine
And I don't want to stay around
Why can't we pantomime,
Just close our eyes
And sleep sweet dreams
Me and you with wings on our feet"
The Great Beyond – REM
"Good Morning Doctor Grey" I say as I watch her approach the nurses station I'm leaning against.
"Doctor Shepherd" She nods curtly.
"Rough night?" I smirk.
"Your idea." She retorts.
"Fair enough." I look back at the chart I'm holding and make some more notes, but eyes are dragged away as I watch Meredith lean over the nurses station to grab another chart. Her scrub top lifts at the hem allowing me a view of her soft silky skin. I raise my eyes up and meet her eyes laughing back at me. She grabs the chart and stands back up. Flipping it open she's walks towards me, and past me towards the patient rooms, knowing I'm watching her she adds an extra sway to her hips. "Goodbye Doctor Shepherd." she smirks looking back at me.
"Adios Senorita!" I grin, and turn back, seeing Dr Bailey at the end of the corridor glaring at me. I smile my "McDreamy" smile even though I know she doesn't buy it. And walk off to room 2310 where Mr Hannon is waiting for me.
"I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs
I'm tossing up punch lines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashing to the ground"
I stand at the OR board and feel her stand next to me.
"Bailey sent me." she says, I nod.
"I know, I asked her to."
"And she said yes?"
"I'm as surprised as you are I thought she'd send Yang to wind me up." Meredith laughed and I grin at her happy that there was such easiness between us.
"So.." she says gazing at me before snapping back to the board. "What's up?"
"Wanted to know if you want in on my surgery."
"Mr Hannon? The guy with the tumor yea?"
"That's right. The astrocytoma, in the optic nerve. Grade 4"
"No cure."
"Nope, but we should be able to get a large chunk of it out safely, and then use the palliative treatments, radiation and chemotherapy."
"Right. What time?"
"2. See you then Doctor Grey" I smile at her before heading off to my office before I grab lunch in the cafeteria.
