-1Chapter 19
I absently picked through the bowl of bar nuts, not that I was going to eat them but I had to keep my mind occupied as Mark Sloan hit on everything in a skirt. Everyone else must've thought it was innocent flirting on behalf of the happy groom. I might have thought the same thing if I hadn't seen him in the park kissing a woman he claimed to have once loved, a woman that almost ended his lifelong friendship with Derek Shepard. Sucking the last of the liquid out of my bottle of beer, I waved Joe over and ordered another. I heard him sit next to me but tried to ignore it, I knew there would be many questions.
"Dr. Shepard just told me you are coming back to Seattle Grace."
"Yeah."
"That's great."
"Yeah."
"Isn't it?"
"It is."
"What does your girlfriend think about it?"
I sigh.
"Kelly is gone, I broke up with her."
"Oh, that's uh….good I guess, well not for her but if…I mean…"
"O'Malley stop talking, you're giving me a headache."
"So where are you going to live?"
"I don't know George."
"Maybe you could take Izzie's room after she gets married."
It was a simple suggestion but it irritated me.
"Hey can I ask you a question?" I see Sloan whispering in the ear of a very young looking girl with blonde hair and dark green eyes, her breasts are popping out of the tight red shirt she has on. She giggles and I can't help but wonder why he is spending his last night in town here hitting on women instead of with the woman he is marrying on Saturday.
"Sure."
"Do you think that Izzie is happy?" I ask him.
"She says she is."
"I know but look at him." I nod my head toward the man Izzie is committing herself to, he is tracing the skin just above the edges of the red material that is holding the blonde girls breasts as he continues to whisper to her.
"It's a bachelor party Alex, he's just flirting. It's harmless…."
I nod again in the same direction, George sighs as we watch the blonde walk toward the door with Mark Sloan following closely behind.
"You were saying?" I ask.
I get up from my stool and follow the couple to the parking lot. I see her up against his car; his body is pressed against hers. I clear my throat and he turns his head glaring at me.
"What Karev?"
"Shepard is looking for you." I hate lying but I will do it for Izzie.
"What does he want?"
"I don't know he just asked me to find you, maybe you should go ask him."
Feeling the tension between us, the girl slips from between Sloan and his car.
"Well, I think I should go. It was nice to meet you Mark." The girl says as she walks away.
Once she is gone, his head drops and he sighs.
"My god Karev, you are still a pain in the ass and your timing sucks! Did you see her breasts? They were fantastic, I wonder who did them?"
I can't believe what I am about to say!
"I don't know if you realize it but Izzie has fantastic breasts that are real! Why don't you go spend the night with her?" I yell.
As I turn around I see George standing by the door.
"Can we go?" I ask. He nods his head and walks toward his car, I rode here with him and I was hoping the ride home would be a quiet one. I was pissed and I'm pretty sure he picked up on it because he was quiet until we reached the hotel.
"You don't think he would really cheat on her do you?"
"If he does, he's an idiot." This is something I know all about; I was an idiot for cheating on her.
"I thought he changed….do you think he changed?" He asks me.
"I don't know George…" And I don't know, not for sure. I could tell Izzie about my suspicions, I'm afraid she wouldn't believe me and I don't want to loose her. "No I don't think he's changed, not really."
Climbing out of the car I thank him for the ride and make my way to the empty hotel room.
I lay on top of the covers of the king size bed, staring at the ceiling. The moonlight is bright enough to light up the room. The vibration of my cell phone startles me as it jumps across the bedside table. Reaching out I take the small phone into my hand and look at the number.
"Hey." I say as I flip open the phone. "I was just thinking about you."
