The next morning Lexie groaned when she woke up. Her head was killing her and her mouth tasted like saw dust. Events of the night before came flooding back, Addison, getting drunk her and Marks fighting match. Thinking about all this just caused her stomach to turn. Getting up out of bed she went into the bathroom and threw up.
"Your lucky mom and dad left already this morning." Meredith told her from the doorway.
Lexie stood up, flushed the toilet and walked over to the sink to brush her teeth. "Do you have to yell?"
Meredith laughed. "I'm not yelling." Walking over to her she handed her two aspirin. "Here take these, and shower you smell like vomit and booze."
After taking a very long shower Lexie felt a little better. Her head wasn't pounding but she didn't even want to try and eat something. After changing into a t-shirt and a pair of soffee shorts she went to find Meredith.
"Feeling better?" Meredith asked from the living room couch.
"Yeah," Lexie told her as she sat down tucking her knees up to her chest.
"Have you called Mark yet?"
Lexie sighed. "No."
"You gotta call him." Meredith said as she turned off the TV. "I'm going out to lunch with Derek. You have fun with your hangover." Meredith said with a laugh as she grabbed her purse.
"Wait!" Lexie yelled after her. "When are mom and dad supposed to come home?"
"I think they were spending the day hanging out around the shop then going to dinner." Meredith told her before she left the house.
Lexie spent most of the day lying around watching TV. By midafternoon her hangover was pretty much gone she even managed to eat a sandwich for lunch. She still hadn't called Mark let alone answer his calls. She was In the middle of a Jersey Shore marathon when she heard someone knocking at the door.
"Mark." She said shocked when she opened the door and found him standing there. "What are you doing here?" She asked as she pushed her hair behind her ears.
"You didn't answer any of my calls."
"I know."
"Why?" He asked. Lexie just shrugged.
"Are you feeling all right?" He asked concerned.
"I'm fine." She told him bitterly as she walked over and sat down on the porch steps. He followed, sitting down next to her.
"Lex what is wrong with you?" Mark asked her finally.
"I don't know." She said with a sigh as she began to play with a blade of grass. "I'm just-" She trailed off not saying the last part.
"You're what?" Mark asked.
"Scared." She said with a shrug. "I'm scared that when I leave next week you will leave me for Addison."
Mark laughed. "Lexie I don't like Addison." He told her. "I love you Alexandra Carolina Grey."
"Long distance relationships never work."
"Well we will make it work I know it. I would never cheat on you with Addison never in a million years."
Lexie looked up at him and smiled. "Promise?"
"Promise." Mark said as he wrapped his arm around her, kissing her head as Lexie leaned her head on his shoulder.
"Wanna watch trashy reality shows with me?" Lexie asked him with a smile. "Jersey Shore is on all day."
Mark stood up and reached out to grab Lexie's hand, pulling her up. "I wouldn't want to spend my day doing anything else.
Mark stayed with her all day. The two curled up in one another's arms on the couch. It was the perfect way to spend a rainy Seattle day.
"I think I'm ready." Lexie told Meredith two days later. The two were sitting up in their bedroom. Lexie was reading a book while Meredith was on the laptop. It had been raining all day and neither of them bothered to leave the house.
"Ready for what?" Meredith asked obviously completely clueless to what Lexie was talking about.
"Sex," Lexie told her as she flipped a page.
"What?" Meredith asked as she choked on her own words.
"Don't tell me you and Derek haven't done it yet."
"No we have but Lexie this is a big deal you're not like me."
Lexie closed her book and sat up. "So, I love him and I want to make love before we leave in five days. Who knows when I will see him again?"
"This is your first time Lex. Are you sure you want it to be with Mark?"
"'I've never felt this way for a guy before Mer. When I'm around him he makes me happy and giggly and I want to be with him. Like really be with him."
"I just don't want you to get hurt."
"I'm not going to get hurt." Lexie said as she rolled off the bed. "I'm gonna go get ready for are date."
"Wait you're not doing it tonight are you?"
Lexie shrugged. "Will see," She said with a smile before skipping off into their bathroom.
I'm sorry I haven't updated in so long. I had a small case of writers block for this story but here ya go! There is only going to be a few more chapters, five at most for this story. I know this chapter is a little short but I didn't want a whole lot to happen. Review and let me know what you think.
