He had been laying there wide awake for nearly two hours. He couldn't keep his mind from returning to Meredith no matter how hard he tried. He even went as far as to think about every fling he had with different girls from Laura Faller in the eleventh grade his two-week long fling with Kelly Gibbs a month ago. But somehow he ended up doubting everything he ever thought about them as he compared them to Meredith.
It was one forty-five in the morning when he heard the door open. He shifted in bed hoping that Burke or Derek, which ever had decided to bother him, would think that he was sleeping. The door shut, and he rolled onto his back thinking they had left. Unfortunately, he was wrong. He heard a click but wasn't sure from what then footsteps. He pulled himself up onto his elbows and looked around even though it was pitch black. Within seconds of feeling the bed creak, someone's lips met his.
"This better not be Burke or Derek!" His mind yelled. But the more he realized how familiar the soft lips felt against his, he found himself kissing back. He felt her hands on either side of his body, and her knees pressed into the bed around his waist. His hands wrapped around her as their kiss became more frantic. Her hands moved from where they were cupped around his chin to the bottom of his shirt.
When she pulled back a cocky grin appeared on his lips. "I thought you said you didn't think this wouldn't work…"
"I did." She pulled at his shirt as he sat up and lifted his arms. "Doesn't mean we can't try." When it was completely off, her lips met his again.

She glanced at the clock and let out a tired sigh. It was three in the morning, and she hadn't gotten a wink of sleep. Mark was in and out of consciousness. His fingers were slowly playing with her hair. And her head was rested on his chest listening to the steady beat of his heart. She didn't want to pull away from his warm embrace even though she knew she had to. Taking on last deep breath of his scent, she sat up and looked down at him. His eyes popped open, and he gave her tired glance.
"Where are you going?" He mumbled trying to pull her back to her spot on the bed.
"I have to go to my room." She sighed.
"Why?" He pouted.
"Derek and Preston will be awake soon. They can't walk in here and find us after we had sex."
"Why not?" He continued to pout.
"Because then they'll be really mad at you." She ran her hand through his hair and kissed him. "I'll see you later."
He gave her one last pleading look as she slipped out of bed and gathered her clothes. After giving her one last kiss, he watched her naked form slip out of the room.

I know this was a super short chapter, but people were worrying about the end to their secret relationship. I wouldn't really do that! :-)
