Derek- we need to talk.
Val- not now Derek I have to go check on a patient.
Derek- you're with him again?
Val- NO, why is everyone saying that?
Derek- I heard the nurses say it.
Val- well they lied Derek now I have a patient.
Derek- okay why don't we have dinner tonight and catch up
Val- one of my patients is getting ready to give birth I have to stay here till she does.
Derek- okay maybe tomorrow bye.
Val walked of it was about 9 p.m. and she was very tired she hasn't slept all night and got out of bed and went jogging so she went into the nearest on call room and opened the door. When she did Mark was standing there with no shirt on. He was changing into a different pair of scrubs. He looked up and saw Val standing there. She closed the door and came up to him.
Mark- What are….
Val captured his lips with her own. He had to do everything in his power to break apart the kiss.
Mark- what are you doing Val?
Val- look I give up okay I still have feelings for you and right now I need some sex dammit so either stand there or kiss me.
He kissed her without even thinking.

-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g

Mark and Val were laying there just enjoying being with each other when Val's beeper went off.
Val- shit.
She quickly got up and started getting dressed as did Mark.
Val- It's my patient she's finally in labor. I'll see you later.
She started to walk off but then quickly turned around and gave a quick kiss to Mark on the mouth.
Val- bye
Mark stood there and put a hand through his hair. Val and him had sex what did that mean? He never analyzed situations unless they came to Val. He analyzed the hell out of their relationship. Did they even have a relationship? It was just sex. Why oh why must she make his life so damn difficult. He laid down on the bed and fell asleep again. When he woke up about two hours later he decided to go down to the cafeteria and get some food. He left the on-call room only to be met by Derek's fist. Mark fell on the floor.
Derek- stay the hell away from Val.
Mark was about to attack him but Alex prevented him from doing so and Derek walked off. Val who saw the whole thing ran over to Mark.
Val- you all right?
Mark- fine.
She took his face and turned it to the side.
Val- you're gonna need stitches.
Mark- just great.
Val- c'mon I'll saw up your face/
They went into one of the rooms and Val started cleaning his wound with Christina, Meredith, Izzie looking on dreamily and Alex and George standing like they would much rather be somewhere else.

g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-

Val just numbed Mark's cheek with a shot and was getting ready to sew him up.
Val- what the hell happened?
Mark- I was asleep and then I came out of the on call room only to be met with Derek's fist.
Val- you don't think… never mind.
Mark- Do I think what?
Val- that he knows
Mark- he suspects. When he punched me he said to stay the hell away from you.
Val- aha, there all done. Would you like a Band-Aid with Scooby Doo or Barbie on it?
Mark- funny
Val- I have to go bye.
Mark took her hand and she stopped.
Mark- hey you okay?
Val- yea I just have to go kill my brother.
Mark- have fun
Val- trust me I will
Val left the room and saw Christina, Meredith, and Izzie practically drooling over Mark.
Val- you guys do know you're drooling right?
The girls didn't even hear her. She waved a hand in front of their heads and they all snapped out of their dreams.
Val- he's not even that hot.
Mer, Izzie, and Christina- Yeah he is.
Val- ok if you say so have you seen Derek?
Meredith pointed in a direction.
Val- thanks.
She saw Derek standing just thinking. She stormed over to him.
Derek- before you say an…..
Val- WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM?
Derek- MARK. I don't want him hurting you.
Val- see Derek there's the problem you need to stay the hell out of my life. What I choose to do with Mark is my business not yours.
Derek- You're my sister Val it is my business.
Val- see that's where you're wrong.
She stormed off.

g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-

Meredith saw Derek standing by himself so she went up to him.
Meredith- hey what's wrong?
Derek- my sister is going to get hurt again.
Meredith- how do you know?
Derek- It's Mark I grew up with him, frankly she did too I would think she has more common sense.
Meredith- Well you'd think I would too but I'm with you after you hurt me right?
Derek- Mer…
Meredith- we're not talking about it remember.
Derek- right
Silence
Derek- She's horrible at choosing guys. I mean look at her ex-husband who abused her, the boyfriends she had through out high school and college and now Mark.
Meredith- well maybe Mark is right for her. I see the way they look at each other it's not just sexual attraction he cares about her.
Derek- I wish that was true Mer I really do. C'mon we should head home. Your place or mine?

Val was leaving the hospital when she felt a hand on her shoulder and turned around. Of course it was Mark.
Val- hey
She took his face and turned it to the side to look at his wound.
Val- looks like it hurts.
Mark- nah the nurse gave me pain killers.
Val- lucky you
Mark- heading home?
Val- if by home you mean the hotel than yes.
Mark- come get a drink with me.
He gave her his McSteamy smile.
Val- fine one drink and then I'm leaving.
Mark- okay.

g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-

When they walked into Joe's it was pretty empty. Surprisingly the interns weren't getting half ass drunk as usual.
They went up to the bar.
Joe- hey what can I get you?
Val- tequila, Mark what do you want?
Mark- same, I'll go get us a table.
Joe- so that your boyfriend?
Val- no, it's Mark, There's no better explanation.
Joe- here are you drinks and I'm Joe by the way.
Val- I'm Val, thanks for the drinks.
She brought them over to the table where Mark was sitting watching the football game.
Val- here
Mark- thanks, cheers
Val- yeah
They both drank their tequila. 3 shots later Val was getting a little wobbly but Mark was fine since he refused to drink anymore.
Mark- alright let's get you home.
Val- home what is home technically?
Mark- c'mon
He helped her up and they left the bar. Mark had a hand on the small of Val's back to keep her from falling down they almost reached the car when Val remembered something.
Val- oops left my purse, be right back.
Mark- I'm not leaving you alone why knows who you'll pick up on your way back to the car.
They went back inside the bar which was now occupied by Meredith, Izzie, Alex, and Derek.
Val went to the table next to them to find her purse while Mark stood back. Derek glared at him but chose not to say anything.
Meredith- hey Val what are you looking for?
Val- my damn purse, can't find it.
Joe- here I saw you leave it so I put it behind the counter.
Val- thanks Joe.
Derek- Val can we talk?
Val- no c'mon Mark let's go.
They left the bar
