Chapter Seven: The Picnic
Meredith's room, Mark is watching Meredith sleep.
Mark: Good morning, beautiful
Meredith: Good morning, Mark. What are you doing?
Mark: I'm watching you sleep. You are very cute when you sleep and you snore
Meredith: What kind of person watches another person in their sleep?
Mark: I like to watch you sleeping, you're very cute
Meredith: I don't like it Mark, it's all creepy to have someone watching you when you sleep. It's like their watching you
Mark: I'm sorry, Mer I just couldn't help it
Meredith: Whatever, Mark. I'm going to take a shower
Mark: Can I join you?
Meredith: Mark! What kind of question is that? You know the answer is no
Mark: I was just joking around Meredith
Meredith's thoughts
I can't believe Mark was watching me in my sleep. That is kind of creepy. Why would Mark ask to join me in the shower? I just don't see him that way for me.
Mark's thoughts
Meredith is so beautiful. I was kind of hoping she'd say yes to me joining her in the shower. I can think of so much fun we could have in there.
Kitchen
Mark: Good morning, James and Ellis
James & Ellis: Good morning, Mark
James: How did you guys sleep?
Mark: I slept very well, thank you
Ellis: Would you like some breakfast? I made blueberry pancakes
Mark: I would love some thank you. Blueberry Pancakes are my favorite
Ellis: There Meredith's favorite also. Ever since she was a little girl
Meredith: You aren't talking about me are you?
James: Of course not honey
Meredith: good morning
Ellis: Good morning dear, have some blueberry pancakes
Meredith: Blueberry pancakes, my favorite
James: As soon as you guys are done you should head over to Seattle Grace Park for the picnic.
Meredith: Sounds good
James, Ellis, Mark and Meredith are enjoying breakfast and morning conversation until Mark and Meredith leave for Seattle Grace Park
Addie: Meredith, you made it!
Meredith: Hey, Addie
Derek: you guys are just in time for some softball
Mark: Sounds like fun. What are teams?
Derek: Well, Alex and I are on a team. You and George can be on Meredith's and Addie's team. Christina is on Meredith's team. Izzie and Callie are on my team. Let's see who else. Oh yeah, Preston and Richard are on my team as well. Last but not least Bailey is on Addie's team.
Mark: Sounds like fun, let's play
The gangs is playing softball and Addie is up to bat
Addie: Derek, you better go easy on me or else I won't marry you
Derek pitches the ball and Addie hits a home run. She runs as fast as she can around the bases and made it to home just before the ball went back to the catcher
Derek: Well, played my dear
Alex: Hey, no cheering on the other side. Well, if it isn't little Christina next
Christina: Fuck off Alex
Christina hit the ball and made it to second base. Next up was Meredith.
Alex: Alright, everyone on my team move in
Meredith: Be nice to me Alex
Alex: You're out Meredith Grey
As Mer was leaving home plate she walked over to Mark.
Meredith: Lose the game Mark
Mark swung and hit the ball for a home run. Christina was able to make it home.
Alex: Get the ball Derek
Meredith's team: Run, Mark run
Meredith runs into Mark's arms as he crossed the plate and kisses him on the cheek
Meredith: You are suppose to be helping
Mark: Trust me I am Meredith
Alex: Damn it, we lost
Derek: Good game guys
Addie: Let' head out for some drinks since the losers have to buy us winners some tequila
Alex's thoughts
Who the hell does that Mark guy think he is? Walking in here like he is the god of all women; I can't believe Meredith is dating him. If I didn't dump her we'd be together and who knows maybe there would be an Alex Jr. or Meredith Jr. but, I ruined it.
Meredith's thoughts
Did you see the look on Mark's face? The look was priceless. I think he is finally getting what is coming to him.
Mark's thoughts
It felt so good when Meredith jumped into my arms. That kiss on the cheek made me shiver. It felt so right holding Meredith in my arms. Oh god, I don't know if I am going to be able to control myself any longer.
