CHAPTER 5

The next day, I had gotten to work with this huge smile on my face. I knew it wasn't anything like being engaged, or married, but Mark and I getting back together was probably the best thing that has happened to me since the crash.

"Why so happy?" I heard while standing at the nurse's station. I turned around and saw Alex.

"Wh-What are you doing here? I thought you left." Alex shrugged,

"Just didn't feel like going. That's all." He lied. I gave him a look before Cristina walked up behind me and said,

"He chickened out." I turned to look at her and laughed,

"I was thinking the same thing." Alex let out a scoff,

"Whatever. I got a patient to check on." After he left, Cristina let out a small chuckle.

"Oh man, I love annoying him." I tell Cristina. She looked at me a bit,

"Yeah." She answered without any emotions while writing on her chart. I grabbed my chart and headed to work.

"Dude, she survived that." I heard a few interns talking while on my to a patient's room.

"I know, but I still can't believe it."

"She's really lucky. I think she should play the lotto or something." They all shared a look and nodded.

"Not only that, but she's with one of the hottest doctors here." One of the female interns added,

"Wait, which one is she with?"

"How do you not know?" I stopped in my tracks to listen, but before I could hear more, I ran into Mark.

"Dr. Grey." Mark said with a bit flirtatious voice. I looked at him and smiled,

"How nice to see you." He leaned close and kissed me. At that moment the interns stopped to look in which one of them said,

"Him." And pointed at Mark.

"Where are you headed, beautiful?" I giggled softly and held up my chart,

"Gotta check on a patient. Prep him for surgery."

"Hm. Sounds like tons of fun." He teased me.

"It is, but hey, are you busy tonight?" Mark shook his head,

"Nope, anything you wanna do?"

"I'm gonna cook for you at your place. How does that sound?" I said as he gave a smirk,

"Sounds PERFECT." He leaned close and kissed me again.

"Oops, looks like the interns are jealous of our AMAZING relationship." Mark teased as his eyes caught the interns staring.

"I better get going or Dr. Bailey will scold me." I tell Mark as I head off, but before I barely move, Mark grabs my arm and kisses me again.

"Mhm, but I don't want you to go. I'm enjoying this. Plus, I want to see the interns get scolded." I smirked,

"But then I'll get scolded too. And I don't think you'd like to see that." He pouts softly,

"Ah, you're right. Go." I walk away from him and can feel his eyes watching me. I walked into the patient's room and smiled,

"Hello Mr. Woods." He grinned at me,

"I see you're back. Tell me are all the female doctors as hot as you?" He flirted in which I laughed.

"We've got to get you prepped for surgery." Mr. Woods nodded,

"I know, because I have a stupid hernia. But you'll be there, right?" I nodded,

"Good, that's reassuring." I smiled softly as I began prepping him.

"Tell me Dr. Grey, you don't have a boyfriend do you?" I felt flattered that he was flirting with me, but at the same time a little freaked out cause he was so old.

"Alright, we'll take you into an OR in a few minutes." I tell him as I turn around to walk out.

"You have a very nice butt." He flirts again. I turn around, laughed, and head out the room.

"I saw that Dr. Grey." I jumped a bit startled as I noticed Mark standing there. Oh great and now he was stalking me.

"M-Mark…Erm I mean Dr. Sloan." I clear my throat.

"W-what are you doing here?"

"Just passing by." I squint my eyes at him,

"Sure you were. You stalker." I tease him. He closed his eyes and laughed,

"How funny. Coincidentally my patient's room is right next to yours." I nodded,

"Oh sure." I said a bit sarcastically. He gasped playfully,

"You don't believe me?" I roll my eyes,

"Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta tell Dr. Bailey so we can operate on this man."

"You mean mister flirts-a lot?" I laugh,

"Are you jealous?" Mark let out a playful scoff,

"No." I laughed again,

"I'll see you tonight. By the way, you're the flirting KING." I tease him before walking off.

After work, I had met up with Mark by the door.

"Hey, I heard you rocked the surgery." I smiled widely and nodded,

"Yeah, but removing a hernia is no big deal." He leans over to kiss me,

"Ready for the best dinner ever?" I ask him as we head out the door, but before Mark could answer someone called his name out.

"Mark! Thank god you're still here." We both turned around and saw Callie running towards us carrying a baby bag and Sofia.

"Hey Callie." He said before looking at Sofia.

"Oh god, was I suppose to watch her today?"

"You aren't bu-…" Callie looked at me and felt bad,

"I'm so is still a little…" She gave an "eh" face as she handed Sofia to him.

"I can't handle my crippled wife and baby." Mark took Sofia and then the bag.

"It's okay." I butt in, in which Mark and Callie looked over to me.

"I'll just see you tomorrow." I say a little bummed out.

"No." Mark suddenly says,

"Callie, please, can you just take her?" Mark begs her,

"I'm sorry Mark. I've tried. But with Arizona acting the way she is, all our fighting is making Sofia upset." Mark lets out a groan.

"I'm sorry, Lex." I shake my head,

"It's whatever. I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up." I shrug and head out the door.

"Lex!" I hear my name being called out, but I didn't turn around. I stood by the doors for a few seconds before heading to my car. I wasn't sure of why I was so upset, I knew Mark had a child. It wasn't that I hated Sofia or Callie. I guess I just felt like everything ALWAYS came first to Mark, BESIDES me. I know it seems a little selfish, but for once, I wanted to feel special. I just wanted one night, where I could just spend time with Mark and not have anything get in the way.
