This chapter goes really fast I know but I have some major ideas for chapter 9.

Chapter 8 – A Week Later

Izzie handed over her money to the man behind the counter. In return he handed her a bone-dry cappuccino and blueberry scone. She couldn't believe he was actually making her get his mid morning snack. She didn't fetch things but then again he didn't clean. At least nobody knew he had cleaned, this was just humiliating.

"Don't tell me, you are actually fetching his things now, he so has you wrapped around his little finger," said Christina.

"He doesn't, this is Meredith's fault, if she hadn't made such a mess in the kitchen then I wouldn't have had to have Mark help me clean it up in return for this," she held up the stuff in her hands.

"Sloane cleaned," she looked shocked, "Seriously?"

He would be so embarrassed, "yep!"

"That's just wrong, I never thought I'd see the day, Mark Sloane, new host of 'How Clean Is Your House!"

"If it helps, he wasn't very good at it." Izzie left as George came over and went to find Mark.

"There you go," she said dumping the stuff on the desk. "That was so degrading."

"So was cleaning!"

"Ha funny, well at least that was the last time!"

"So what do you have in mind for tonight anyway?"

"I'm going to cook for you properly, no Meredith, no Derek, just me, you, good food and a great movie."

"What movie? Please don't say it's a chick flick."

"No, I was thinking horror, The Omen, old version, so much better than the crappy remake."

"You don't look like a horror girl; you look more of a Titanic and Just Married, Leonardo DiCaprio and Ashton Kutcher sort of girl."

"It's sad that you know so much about them and for the record I love those movies, and Ashton Kutcher, not so much Leo."

"It's not my fault Derek used to make me watch them."

"Just Married only came out in 2003."

"I know, worrying isn't it?"

"Dinner was amazing." Mark and Izzie had just finished Izzie's three course meal and they were now settling down to watch a movie. "I've never tasted cake quite like that before."

"Thanks, the recipe for the chocolate cake was my grandmas. She was the person who taught me to bake."

Mark kissed the top of her head inhaling the scent of her coconut shampoo. "Well my compliments to the chef. You're hair smells really good by the way."

Izzie laughed, "You don't smell so bad yourself. Ok be quiet movie's starting." The whole way through the movie Izzie stayed right next to Mark refusing to let him go to the toilet because she didn't want to be left by herself. "I'm so scared," she wailed, "the boy and the nanny are so creepy."

"How many times have you seen this movie?"

"A lot, I usually don't get scared at horror movies but this one freaks me out."

"I didn't peg you for someone who believes in that sort of stuff, you know the devil and god."

"I don't, I believe in a higher power just not Christianity."

"I don't believe in religion, it's all a bunch of rubbish."

"Well what do you believe in?"

Mark thought about it for a minute, "I don't know but when I do you'll be the first to know."

"Thanks."

"For what? Letting you know about my beliefs."

"This past year has been terrible, I've had the worst time of my life but the past few days with you have been amazing. When Denny died I didn't know if I could ever feel this way again, especially not so soon but I do. I know it's only been a week since we've been going out but…"

He stroked her cheek with his hand, he had never felt this way before, he knew what he felt was real, "Isobel Stevens, I love you."

"I love you too."

What day is it? And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time

Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

All of the things that I want to say just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping on words
You've got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here

Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

Life House – You and Me

Ok so it went really fast,,,,,,
