CHAPTER 2

Mark still had his hand on the doorknob whilst Lexie is expecting an answer from him, his pager went off, Mark takes it and checks it out: it's a 911.

"To the hospital." he replied with a cold voice without even looking at her, and with that he leaves the room.

Lexie doesn't know what to think about what's just happened with Mark. Last night was fantastic, they made love several times and she realized that she likes the plastic surgeon after all. Last night, he touched her like no man has in her life, he made love to her like a real lover, like his life was depending on it. She is still lying in his bed with the sheets covering most of her body, smelling Mark's pillow in which he just slept in. His cologne still on it. She embraces the pillow like Mark was there, and it's like the smell on his pillow could hug her back.
How one night with this man changes my feelings???
My goodness that night, that night was nothing like I expected when I came up here. Lexie thought.
With that Lexie goes up and heads towards the shower to get ready for her idea with the goal to confront Mark about their night together and to know where they'll go from there.

While, Lexie is taking a shower, Mark is driving to the hospital but his mind is still on Lexie and their night together.
Why is this night bothering me so much and why does this girls is intrigue me?? it was a one night stand that's it. nothing more. no feelings no emotions involved. So why the **** did I want to cuddle her afterwards and I did it dammit. Mark you are playing with fire. Last night we made..... no Mark don't even think about it. You ****ed her that's it. just a good damn one. And Derek told you to not sleep with Lexie and you did. I'm so ****ed up right now. Mark's mind is going crazy.
When he finally parked his car, he turns off the ignition and decides to let it go and not think about Lexie and their night. Focus on your job man. it was just one night stand and nothing more.

At the E.R, Mark is confronted by a woman, who's been beat up almost to death and burned after being raped, she needs a jaw reconstruction and skin graft. and on top of that she has some broken bones.

"Mrs Rimes. Mrs Rimes my name is Dr Sloan I'm the head of plastics and I'll be the one treating your wounds. I need to know if you understand me. I don't want to try to speak or move because the extent of your injuries are extremely important and I'm not gonna lie to you. so when I'll ask something you'll blink once for yes and twice for no. do you understand ??" he asks nicely to his patient

And she blinked once.
"all right , that's good so you'll be up for some exams, MRI, CT scans....I'll do them personally don't worry I'm the best at what I do. I'll be with Dr Shepherd who's the head of neurosurgery and Dr Torres who is the best orthopaedist" he tried to reassured the woman as she blinked again once.

As he is still talking to his patient, Dr Bailey stops by to ask him whether or not he would mind if she was on his services again like yesterday. Before answering her, he hesitated. Because even though that woman is one of the few woman who he respects and respects him in return, she asks too many question. my goodness. But she wants to learn, she wants to be taught.
Ohhh no not again the teach me. That word doesn't have the same aspect for me anymore. Dr Bailey wants to be taught but I don't think she would want the same kind of teaching I gave Lexie last night. Mark thought.
Mark shakes his head to clear his thoughts and replies with a smirk
" of course Dr Bailey. i didn't know you like plastics that much, second day in a row. I knew it, you love me"

"Ok you really want to kick your ass. I'm not scared that you're my boss" she replies back

"Well Mrs Rimes this Dr Bailey. she's a general surgeon. she'll be there too. Don't worry I know that it might take a while but everything is gonna be all right" he says.

He doesn't know why, he's trying to reassure this woman, to make her feel better to give her a little hope. Even though all her hopes had gone the minute she's been raped, burned and beaten. She seems like a nice woman.

As Mark was doing the exams to their patient with Bailey, Lexie went to the locker's room to get ready for work.
Once she put her scrubs on, George came in and asked

"Lex where the hell have you been?? I was up all night waiting for you. I was worried."

"Well now I'm here alive as you can see. no need to worry about me"

"I think I have the right to know where you were last night. you are my best friend and...."

"Ohhh please George I'm not your best friend I'm a filler for Izzie Stevens that's it. and no you have no right to know where I was last night. that's my life not yours" and with that she left with furry and went to find her resident.

Well Lexie spent a good hour looking for her resident and decided that maybe she should find something to do today even though she's banned from the OR. But the thing is Lexie isn't really focused today. Her mind is always on the top plastic surgeon. I need to talk to him, I need to know what's going to happen next.
As she was in the E.R she heard Mark, Callie and Miranda talking about massive bruise and internal injuries from their patient but she also heard jaw reconstruction.

" did I just hear jaw reconstruction, internal injuries, broken bones.. I'm sorry my resident abandoned me and I'd like to be on your services today if you don't mind" She asked

As soon as Lexie asked her question, Mark didn't know what to do. Say yes and be with her without being with her the whole day would be torture but he can't say no either because she's an intern. While Mark's mind is going crazy again because of Lexie, Callie and Miranda are explaining to Lexie what happened to the patient and what her injuries are.

"Fine, you'll be on my services today. But you won't touch anything. did you hear me??? you are not allowed to touch anything that doesn't need to be touched got it" Mark said to Lexie with a little ramble in it.

"OOOOkay Dr Sloan"

as she leaves, Callie and Miranda are staring at Mark

"WHAT????!!!!!?????"

"You slept with her didn't you?????" both women asked at the same time

"of course not I wouldn't dare" he only whispered

"Ohh really ????"they said with a glare

"Ok only once"

"ohh no not you too. I thought that with what happened with those nurses you wouldn't, but it seems like I was wrong" Bailey said

" ok stop right there she's the one who violated me with her nakedness. she seduced me. not the other way around Mam"

Callie was starting to giggle when Sadie came by asks some things for the patient while taking something off Callie's hair. Callie was rambling something and didn't know how to be but only shocked by Sadie.

"Callie again. first Hahn and now Sadie. and a intern" bailey said

"But Miranda...."

"no buts necessary. I'm surrounded by a bunch of dirty naughty doctors who thinks more about their bedroom than operating room. my goodness." Bailey replied and left.

"So Callie you were saying something like you are so screwed " Mark smirked

"all right shut up. but didn't you see that??? I mean my hair, my damn hair" Callie exclaimed.

"these interns are out of control"

"stalkers"

"sexed up stalkers"

as they were saying that, Mark and Callie were looking at Sadie and Lexie.

After all the exam being done, and prepped the patient for the surgery. it was time for the surgery. Lexie and Sadie were still banned from the OR but they got the chance to learn from their teachers. They were looking at the surgery. Dr Bailey just finished operating on Mrs Rimes when Callie started to readjust the broken bones. As Mark was doing the skin graft, he looked up to the gallery and saw Lexie. She was looking straight at him, like she could read his soul. He seemed like he's was losing control and he didn'tlike that. He's always in charge, but with only her eyes, she's piercing his soul and he hates.
Since this morning, they never got the chance to talk about what happened last night and he was glad for that.
Up in the gallery, Sadie had to leave Lexie for charts, and Lexie was all alone. His hands are amazing. he's not only skilled in the bedroom but in the O.R as well.
Their eyes were still locked to one other, like they were the only in the world. But Mark returns his eyes on his patient's skin.

The surgery being done, Mark was changing from his scrubs to his former casual clothes. As he was getting out of the hospital, it starts raining. Mark doesn't care about the rain as long as he gets in his car. But while he's walking towards his car, he heard someone calling his name. He recognized the voice. that's the beautiful voice of Lexie Grey.

"Dr Sloan, Dr Sloan, I know that you hear me so turn around" Lexie snapped

Mark isn't paying any attention to Lexie, he keeps walking and walking, until he heard her saying

"Mark I'm begging you turn around and face me" she pleads

Mark stoped his walk and the way her voice sounded striked his heart. it was like he was hurting her. But he turned around and faced her for the first time since last night

"What?? Grey, what do you want from me??"

"Why you're acting like nothing happened between us ???"

"Grey it was only a one night stand. we ****ed each other that's it"

"you're lying"

"ohh now I'm lying"

"yes you are. we didn't **** each other last night"

"well if you prefer we screwed each other. Grey you read too much into it"

"did I????"

" Grey stop fooling yourself. that was one night. you were looking for an itch and you happened to come to the legendary manwhore to scratch it. and you were also a good lay so I think we are even right. just forget about that night and everything will be all right"

"how could you say that. I didn't come to you for an itch. i came to you because ...."

" Because what Grey?? ohh right O'Malley you wanted to forget about your little boy toy for one night??"

"Because I realized that I like you. that's why I came. and about forgetting our night together I can't"

"yes you can .it was just one night and stop saying that you like me. because we both know that's not true"

"you know I have a photographic memory. so that means that I can't forget things. it's stuck in my mind. your touch, the way you looked at me last night, kissed me , made love to me is not only stuck in my mind but in my heart too. you scarred my heart last night and I can't forget that. So don't ask me to forget something that is unforgettable"

it was raining more and more now. they were both soaking wet and stared at each other. Mark didn't know what to say. He's speechless. She's right he made love to her last night and he wants to do it over and over again. But he's no good for her. in the end he will hurt her and doesn't want to do that.
Lexie noticed the change in Mark's stare so she decides to walk towards him and put her hand on his cheek.

"I know you're feeling what I'm feeling right now. just please don't walk away from me, don't walk away from it".

Mark looked at her in the eyes and saw something that he didn't think was possible :faith. she had faith in him. Feeling her hand on his cheek was like a new touch even for him, even tough they touched each other last night. But that touch was a pleading one. But Mark let go of her hand started to walk at the opposite side.
as he was walking away, he could hear Lexie's voice pleading him to stay and to not walk away. But he kept walking without turning around, he knew that if he does he would run up to her and take her in his arms. That was the first time that Mark was feeling his heart hurting him with sadness and sorrow.
As he kept walking to his car, Lexie was still looking at him but stopped calling for him.
She would have never thought that night could have brought her so much happiness and sadness In over 24 hours, Lexie experienced, what it's like to be with a lover and what its like to be left over. and she doesn't think that she could get over it.
