A/N so I wanted to have this updated last Friday but I couldn't log in. So here it is. I want to thank everyone for the reviews, etc., and hope that you enjoy this chapter! So without further ado here it is.
So the next day, Mark started with his goal of getting Lexie back where she belonged. By his side. He had thought of how he could do it, even went online to get some tips. Well, when Mark arrived at the hospital, he went to the coffee cart and bought two coffees, one for him and one for Lexie. He proceeded to the residents locker room and waited for her to show up, which should be soon, cause they both were scheduled to start at the same time. The door to the residents locker room opened and Lexie walked out. He extended one of the coffee's.
"This is for you."
"Thank-you" Lexie said with a smile. "Whats the reason?"
"Just wanted to say that you are an amazing doctor and I admire your skills as one, Keep up the good work." And then Mark walked away down the hallway and around the corner. Lexie watched him until she could see him no more. She was curious as to what Mark was up to, but she wasn't complaining. Especially with a doctors essential drink in her hand.
The whole day Mark went out of his way to do stuff for her. Just small stuff, like making sure she got in on a really cool surgery, getting her some food after cause he knew she would be starving, and saying things like "You are wonderful with patients" and "I am soo in awe of you."
Whenever Mark said something, it left Lexie speechless and wondering what the heck Mark was up to. It was almost like he was in love with her, but that couldn't be because he was with Julia. Things were made a little clearer when she had heard through the hospital grape vine that Mark and Julia had broken up. Which gave Lexie hope like never before that maybe, just maybe, Mark wanted to get back together with her. That he was still in love with her.
But she didn't want him to stop what he was doing because he was making her feel soo special and cherished.
At the end of the day, Mark made sure that Lexie was going to get home to Meredith's okay, cause she looked really exhausted. And then he stopped at Joe's. Which is where he ran into Callie.
"What are you doing here? And where is Sophia?" Because he knew that Arizona was still in surgery.
"Oh she's with Meredith and Derek cause apparently Sophia and Zola are inseparable, which is soo cute. So I decided to come here and wait until Arizona gets out of surgery."
Mark motioned to Joe that he wanted a scotch.
"Okay, what is going on with you and Lexie?" Callie asked after a moment of silence. "I heard that you were doing all sorts of things for her today, like getting her in on that surgery."
I want to win her back, so I am wooing her"
"Well, I don't think its going to take a long time, cause the way Lexie looks at you, she still is in love with you."
Mark let that digest for a moment. And then he realized that Callie was dead right. As much as they had hurt each other in the past, they still loved each other. And that said a lot about their love.
"So what are you doing still sitting here? Go get her," Callie commented.
"I wanted to go slow and show her that she can still trust me. Because even though she might still love me, trust is a completely different thing."
Lexie was at home, and was thinking about Mark and the whole day of special attention from him. She had really felt that he still loved her, that she was soo special to him. There was a knock at the door and she shouted, "got it". She answered the door and there was Mark on the other side.
A/N I know I am leaving it hanging, but then it will make you, the reader, come back for chapter 3, lol!
