Chapter 6

Lexie was still in shock, she didn't understand why he wanted to hide them.

I mean a few hours ago, we were happy, we were joking, we were about to made love again. He made me believe that he wanted something with me something real and now he's asking ....no telling me that we have to hide, that we can't go public. No maybe he's joking or maybe it's just a little time because he needs some.

" What did you just say???? no one can know what about???"

"I mean that no one will know about us. that's it''

"That's it??? You've got to be kidding me. Why you want to hide us? Are you so ashamed of me that you can't bear the fact that people will know about us???" She asked, still on the bed with the sheets covering her

How can she think that i could be ashamed of her?? I'm the one who is ashamed. I don't deserve her and yet she still wants me. After everything I've done in the past, how can i deserve someone like her in my life????

"Lexie I'm not ashamed of you. It's because...." Before even finish his sentence, Lexie cut him off

"Then what it is??? Please enlighten me." She demanded.

Mark didn't know what to respond. Because He really wanted to tell her that He made a promise to Derek to not get anywhere near her , but he couldn't bring himself to tell her so. Maybe it's fear, or didn't know which one was it.

Seeing that Mark wasn't saying anything, Lexie decided that enough was enough. And then, she got out of the bed and started looking for her clothes.

"What are you doing?" Mark asked and didn't quite understand what she was doing.

"Don't you see, I'm looking for my clothes and then I'm getting out of here" she snapped at him while being in the bathroom putting her underwears on.

"Don't do that. Your clothes are still wet from last night because of the rain"

" ohhh and thanks to whom???" Lexie wished she bite her tongue before saying this especially when she noticed the hurt in Mark's eyes. But the words were already out.

"Lexie , I .AM .NOT. ASHAMED. OF. YOU "Saying this by accentuated each words

"You've already told me that. But you know, your actions speak louder than your words" She replied back

Mark didn't want her to think that he didn't want her. He's new at this. He doesn't know how to act; what to do, what to say. So he came up to her, and took her in his arms even though she was fighting him in the end, she gave up.

"You have to stop doing that to do. Being all hot and cold. The night before you made love to me, the day after you ignored me like you didn't even know me, you left me standing in the rain even though i begged you not to walk away. Last night you've asked not to leave you, you held out your hand to me in the shower. I know that it was a huge step coming from you but you gotta stop this. One day you want it and then after you don't. I'm not made of steel Mark, I have feelings too."

she said with some tears starting to flow down her cheeks.

Lexie started to wipe her cheeks but Mark was more faster and then hold her face in his hands and told her

"Please, Lexie I want you and I'm sorry if I lead you one but that wasn't my intention. But I'd rather i have you in my life secretly than ever" Mark hoped that she could see the sincerity in his voice and eyes.

"Well that doesn't work for me. I won't hide or sneak around. No I'm not a teenager anymore. I won't to do it. And you still didn't tell me why you wanted to hide???"

"Dammit Lexie why you need to know this?? why???"

" So you expect me to get all 'yeah Mark I'd love to do i. Hide us' No that's not know what I think I'm wasting my time. I should go'' she said while putting her still wet clothes on.

She can be so stubborn. Dammit. I gotta tell her the truth or she'll leave

"I made a promise to Derek that' I'll never get anywhere near you but as you can see I slipped. That's why." Mark spoke out

Lexie didn't believe her ears. He made a promise to Derek. What the hell Derek go to do with Mark and I???

"So you're saying that you made a promise to Derek to not date me or do anything to me"

"That's what I'm saying"

"I don't understand why Derek would intervene in my personnel life. I don't get it." Lexie replied. She stopped dressing up because she really wanted to hear what Mark had to say.

"It's Because of Meredith. She knows my history and she doesn't want you to get hurt because of me"

"What????!!!!"

"You're telling me that Meredith got the nerves to ask Derek to give you an order to not get anywhere near. You've got to be kidding me. Who the hell does she think she is??? One day she doesn't want to be my sister and now she's acting like the overprotective one. Dammit " Lexie exclaimed. She was really mad. She couldn't believe that Meredith could have done something like that.

"Lexie she just wants to be close to you even though she's not showing it. And she's right, I might.. no I'll hurt you in the end."

" You know that's exactly what I hate. You think so low of your self for a successful surgeon. And I'm sure you're saying that you'll hurt me because that's what Derek told you. That you're so bad for me. That in the end, you're gonna break my heart or even worse that you will cheat on me.I'm sure it was something like that." Lexie said while coming up to him and putting her hands on his bare muscular chest.

"Lexie they're right. I'm no good for you....."

"Dammit Mark but stop saying that. Screw them. Screw what they think. You deserve more than that. He's supposed to be your best friend and that's how he thinks so low and little of you. That's also how he thinks that you're gonna treat me. He's wrong I know that he's wrong. You have to give yourself more credit here"

"Lexie you don't know everything about me. I've done some pretty bad things in my life" he whispered

"But you're not a bad person. That's why I want to get to know you . I wanna know more about the guy behind these walls that he put up for so long." Lexie said, with her hands going from his chest to his face.

"You're way too good for me"

"You're perfect for me"

When he heard the words coming out of her mouth, he tried to find some lies in eyes that maybe she said it to make himself feel better, but the only thing he found in them was honesty.

"So what do we do???"

"About what?"

"About going public ?"

"Well I understand that you don't want to lose Derek's friendship, but I also know that he has to have more faith in you. He 's supposed to be your best friend. But you know what we'll do it one step at a time like i told you. But I don't want to sneak around. We'll see our things will unfold for us."

"You know I'm new at this. At the thing we have with each other, at the hospital, I'm all confident but outside i don't know i just..."

"Shhhh, stop thinking about this so hard. Just let it flow and everything is gonna be all right"

"Just let it flow???" Mark questioned trying not to be too much insecure.

"Yeah Let it flow" She replied and pulling him in for a long and sultry kiss.

Well you know whay you gotta do, Hit the little McButton:-)
