Meredith followed Burke out the door, past Dr. Schaffer, and straight into a nearby on-call room. Turning on the light, he revealed to bodies lying lifelessly on either bed. The one on the top bunk had shifted only slightly, turning over and coving herself up with the blanket. The blonde one on the bottom, however, launched right up, nearly stumbling fully out of bed. She looked familiar to Meredith, ah -- yes, she was the one who fetched Jose's test results for her. Burke laughed at the two as he looked back at Meredith.
"Wha-what?" The young blond doctor questioned, pulling herself to her tired feet, "Do you need something Dr. Burke?"
"No, nothing Dr. Stevens, I just wanted to introduce you to our new intern, Dr. Meredith Grey."
Rubbing her eyes, Izzie pushed her back forward, cracking her back before turning side to side for the same effect, "Oh yes, we worked on the little boys case together," she recalled, "Nice to see you again Dr. Grey." She held out her hand, "Sure we've met, but I don't think that we have been properly introduced, I'm Dr. Isobel Stevens, but all my friends call me Izzie."
"Dr. Meredith Grey," she replied with a smile, shaking her hand, "It's a pleasure Izzie."
"Would you three SHUT UP?" Came a loud, frusterated voice from the top bunk. She lifted herself up on one elbow, turning to face the three doctors; her dark curly hair was pulled back into a small bun at the back of her neck. Her scrubs were wrinkled, presumably from her sleeping, and she didn't look very happy, "Ok, I'm on call tonight! I expect to get SOME sleep, so could you guys like, be quiet? You know, leave me alone so I can do my thing?"
"And thats my Cristina," Burke commented, smiling, placing his large hands on his hips.
"Your Crisitna?" Meredith inquired. He smiled at her, nodding in response. Gosh did she feel stupid, this whole time Meredith had thought that Burke had been flirting with her, and now here he has a girlfriend!
"God Preston, just tell the whole world why don't you?" She said before turning back around on the bed, placing her head back on the pillow.
"I'll work on that," he shot back smartly, "Goodnight." He said before turning back around, facing Meredith. Small mumbles came from Cristina on the top bunk, and Izzie almost immediately collapsed back into her bed. Motioning to the door, Burke led Meredith outside of the on-call room, turning off the lights and shutting the door as he left.
"Your Cristina?" She questioned again, "Your an attending, she's an intern," with that, she smiled, placing her arms across her chest as she leaned onto one leg. She shook her head lightly in attempt to remove the hair that had fallen into her face.
Burke's laughed, opening his mouth to respond, but his pager went off, saving him from the conversation, "Sorry Grey, gotta go!" He started a fast paced jog down the halls of the hospital.
"We're talking about this later!!!!" She shouted at him, throwing her arms down at her side. His hand waved carelessly in the air as he turned the corner, acknowledging her previous comment. Sticking her tongue out, she smiled, walking over to the nurses station.
"Don't you think thats a bit childish?" Dr. Schaffer interrupted her thoughts, biting down into a large, green apple. He was huched over, leaning fully on the counter, opposite of Meredith.
Holding her smile, she thought it might be nice to someone new, "I like being childish."
"Oh do you? Well, in that case, I like it when you be childish." He smiled sweetly at her, still chewing his last bite.
"Is that so?" She leaned on the counter in the same manner he did.
"It is."
She gave off a small giggle as she looked down at her hands that rested on the counter in front of her before looking up again to meet his gaze. Aiden had his own type of charm to him, like Derek. He gave her a dreamy smile that could melt anything while taking another bite into his apple. Here was her chance to start over, to take her life to a new level, leaving Derek and everything in her old life behind. "So, are you on-call tonight?"
"Me?" he asked, almost laughing and practically jumping out of his skin, standing up straight as he threw the core of his apple into the trash. She looked around playfully, as if trying to see if anyone else was around.
"I don't see anyone else here."
"No, but I could be if you wanted me to." His smile still illuminating the hall.
Cocking her head, she stood up straight, turning around, and placing her elbows on the counter as she leaned back in a comfortable position. He quickly rounded the table, placing himself in front of her. Meredith bit down on her bottom lip, still amiling at Aiden, "What?" He asked curiously, now his turn to cock his head, "Whats so funny?" He asked sweetly.
"Oh, nothing!" Now laughing, Meredith looked down at her now beeping pager, "Sorry, Aiden, I gotta go." Leaving quickly, she turned around to smile at him one last time before she took off around the corner.
"Did she just call me Aiden?" He questioned himself.
