A/N: Hellooooo everyone! I am glad to see your bright and shiny faces this lovely Thursday! Now, read on!

Disclaimer: I own nothing except for my crazy imagination:)


"Hello Mark,"

"H..hh..hello Mother,"

"It's been a long time."

"Ye..ye..yes, it has."

Mark Sloan has never been more embarrassed in his life. At first, he had felt powerful and thought, Wow, payback's a bitch. However, the feeling soon faded as he realized that he has just punched his mother in the face. And his mother had punched him back. So, now they sat on opposite sides of the living room with icepacks.

"How have you been?" Mrs. Sloan asked.

Mark eyed his mother. She never had been this nice to him. So why now?

"What's the real reason you are here?"

"Does there have to be a reason," Mrs. Sloan snapped back, anger flaring in her voice, "I am your mother! Isn't that reason enough?"

Mark snorted. "It hasn't been a reason for 10 years."

"I thought it would be nice to visit you! I wouldn't have come if I knew you were going to act like this. I always knew you were ungrateful."

"You…you! I..I am ungrateful? Do you know what you put me through as a child? I sat at home alone for hours, no days, with no one. You were never there! If it wasn't for Mrs. Shepard I don't know if I would even be here today!" Mark yelled, temper soaring as if the lion he thought Lexie had tamed broke free.

Mrs. Sloan simply looked down and started playing with her fingers. "Well, look where you are today. A successful surgeon with a beautiful girlfriend. Maybe it was part of a plan."

Unbelievable. Only his mother could spin crap like this. He turned to leave when he replayed the last part of her monologue. A successful surgeon with a beautiful girlfriend.

"How do you know I have a girlfriend?"

"Oh Mark. You should know by now that I know all. There's nothing money can't buy. Including my way into your condo," she said with a wink, "Now, where's the guest room? I need to freshen up."

Where are the dang car keys!? God Lexie you can fix a guy's face, but you can't even find your own car keys! Where's Mark when you need him…

"Lexie?"

She turned, immediately recognizing the voice. A voice she dreaded and had locked away for so long so successfully. Until now of course.

"Marcus? Wha..wha… what are you doing here?"

"Oh my gosh Lexie! It's been too long!" Marcus said sweeping down to give Lexie a hug.

"Yes…it's been a while." And with good reason, Lexie thought.

"My my. You are as beautiful as the day you left." he said, softly stroking her cheek.

Lexie slapped away his hand. "What are you doing? Why are you here?"

"I...I came into town on business and I remembered you said you being here and I wanted to see you and I thought…"

"Well you thought wrong! Just leave and never come back. I know we have a history, but it's history! I am happy now and you…you just bring back unhappiness!" Lexie said on the verge of tears.

"Oh Lex, I can never leave you," Marcus said brushing away a tear, "You know why? Because I lo—"

"What are you doing with my girlfriend?"

"Mark!" Lexie cried breaking free from Marcus' hold.

"Look, I don't know who you are, but nobody makes my girlfriend cry and gets away with it. So just leave before I lose my temper." Mark said with an icy tone.

Marcus just stood for a second before his lips curved up in a smirk. "Okay," he said turning to leave, "Nice meeting you… Mark."

"He showed up right as I was getting to her! I thought you were going to keep him away!"

"I tried, but he must have snuck out when I went to freshen up. It doesn't matter though."

"As long as I get my money…"

"You will get your money as long as you stick to the deal. You get Lexie away from Mark or make it seem like it while I get my girl in with Mark! It's simple enough, so just make it happen!"

"Why don't you just tell Mark you're sick?"

"Because Marcus, that won't get Lexie away from him! Mark doesn't know how bad Lexie is. She isn't worthy of him! I am just here to make him realize this." Mrs. Sloan took a long sip of her whiskey. "Now leave!"

Yes, Mark Sloan should know that his Mother knows all.

Hope you liked the chapter! If you want more review and tell me what you want to see! For now I bid adieu!
