A.N: Sorry it took so long to update this, but to be honest I kinda lost my interest in Grey's! I'm more into reading the stories than writing and I'm more into other shows. But like myself, I hate unfinished stories so here's the last chapter. Sorry it's not much but it was the best I could do!

Reviews are always welcome.

Enjoy!

It's a date

As Izzie was walking towards the scrub room of the OR she, literally, ran into Alex.

'Watch where you're going!' he snapped as he bent down to pick up the chart he had dropped during the collision.

'What is your problem Alex?' Izzie asked him. She understood he was troubled by Rebecca's return, but that was no reason to take it out on her.

'You're the one with the problem.' He said.

'What?' she asked. She couldn't believe her ears. Why was he being so mean to her.

'Sloan, Izzie!' he stated.

'That's none of your business!' she snapped.

'It is my business!' he yelled making everyone turn towards them. 'I don't want him at the house!'

'That is not up to you to decide. I can bring home whoever I want!' Izzie replied angrily.

'We'll see about that!' Alex said before walking off.

'What was that all about?' Izzie heard from behind her.

'Nothing.' She said and smiled at him. 'Let's go get ready for that surgery.'

He nodded and followed her into the scrub room. He watched her as she prepared to go into the OR. He felt sorry for her.

'What?' she asked when she noticed him staring at her.

'Nothing.' Mark said as he also began to prepare for surgery. 'Just admiring my view, that's all.' He smiled.

She rolled her eyes but couldn't keep the grin from her face, glad for the distraction.

During surgery Izzie couldn't help but think about her fight with Alex. She was quickly losing her focus and when Mark asked her a question she couldn't answer.

'Dr. Stevens?' Mark asked as he watched Izzie intently.

'What?' Izzie cleared her thoughts, trying to focus on what Mark was asking her.

'What do we do now?' he asked her again, his voice slightly angry. He knew what Izzie was thinking about and he couldn't really blame her, he didn't even want to sound angry but he had to stay professional and so did she. They couldn't afford to make any mistakes.

'Uhm … we take the new flap of skin and place it on the wound where we attach it most carefully!' Izzie finally answered.

'Exactly!' Mark said as he started to work on the skin. He quickly glanced back at Izzie and smiled when she looked right back at him. He could see she was smiling back at him, but the smile didn't light up her eyes like it normally did.

'Now Dr. Stevens, if you move to this side of the table, you can do the procedure while your interns can get a closer look on how we do this.' Mark said.

Izzie looked up surprised but quickly moved to stand next to him as her interns moved closer to watch her do the procedure.

'Easy.' Mark said as he leaned in closer to her. 'You need to do this as carefully as you can so the scar won't be noticeable.'

Izzie turned towards him and noticed that they were really close. She wanted to close the gap between them, but not only would it be hard with their surgical masks, it would also be an inappropriate thing to do in an OR full of nurses and inters. So she quickly turned around and focused back on the surgery.

After the surgery Izzie quickly scrubbed out and met her very impressed interns as they were waiting for her outside of the OR.

As they were thanking her for this unique opportunity Izzie couldn't stop herself from feeling very proud. Not only was she proud that she had done this surgery, she was also proud that her interns finally seemed to respect her.

She thanked them as well and gave them their assignments for the rest of the day.

As she stood there watching them take off she felt two arms slip around her waist and hold her close.

She didn't have to turn around to know who it was.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"I'm fine." She replied and turned around to look him straight in the eyes.

"About Alex …" he started but was cut off by her lips on his as she had pulled him in for a sweet, yet passionate kiss.

When they pulled apart to allow their lungs to fill with much needed air, she put her hand on his cheek and gently stroked it.

"Forget about Alex!" she said and gently kissed his lips again. " I don't know what his problem is and frankly I really don't care. I'm sick of him pushing me around and for using me when it was convenient for him." She kissed him again.

"He has got to accept the fact that I'm falling for you, hard! If he can't …" she paused then shrugged her shoulders. "His problem! Now can we please stop talking about him!" she asked and sweetly smiled at him.

He just nodded his head and pulled her in for another passionate kiss.

They pulled apart but stood close together as their foreheads touched.

"You are an amazing woman!" he whispered.

She slightly blushed at his compliment. "Thank you." she mumbled, embarrassed to say more.

As she was about to say something her pager went off. She groaned, which made him laugh, and pulled the offending item from her waistband to look at it.

"Bailey" she said apologetically.

"Okay." He whispered and quickly kissed her lips again. When she started to walk away from him he grabbed her wrist and stopped her.

"What time are you off tonight?"

"8" she said looking at him questioningly.

"Would you like to have dinner with me?"

"Dinner? Like a date?" she asked as she started to step back from him.

"Yes a date. So?"

"I'd love to have dinner with you!" she replied grabbing her pager as it went off again.

"Ok, I'll pick you up at nine. Wear something nice."

She grinned at him.

"Okay, I'll see you tonight then."

"It's a date." She said and turned to go.

"Oh yeah, it's a date." He said and grinned as he watched her jog towards the elevator.

Never in this life had he dreamed of being with a woman like Izzie Stevens. He had a lot to learn, but he was willing to learn it with her help.

The End
