Mark and Zoey walked in to the hospital together the following morning. Luckily, she was working in the day care centre until 5.30, which mean he had the entire day to actually end it with Lexie. It also meant it was highly unlikely either girl would bump in to each other and his secret would be blown. He entered his office, changed in to his scrubs and gathered the paperwork for his patients. Just as he was about to leave for his first patient of the day, Lexie opened the door and walked in. "Hey." She smiled at him. "I missed you last night."
Mark's heart dropped. He did not expect to see her first thing; he wasn't ready to end it with her yet. "Hey." He smiled back half-heartedly.
Lexie walked over and kissed him gently on the lips, which he regrettably returned. "So what happened last night?" She questioned.
"What? Nothing happened." Mark said quickly. That was a lie. The truth is that a lot happened last night. They didn't have sex but were close to it …
During the car ride back to the hotel, Zoey had made Mark laugh so much he had forgotten about Lexie and couldn't wait to have her to himself in his hotel room. They walked through the lobby and had managed to restrain themselves whilst waiting for the elevator – both of them wishing it would hurry up. Once inside the empty elevator, they couldn't take it any more and once the doors closed, both of them attacked each other with their mouths, each of their hands running all over each other's bodies. They only pulled apart once the elevator pinged when it got to their floor. They hurried over to his room and once inside they continued the hungry attack on each other and fell on to the bed. Mark rolled on top of her and stopped to take in the beauty beneath him. He closed the gap between them and continued to kiss her only less vigorously. This time when he kissed her, it was passionate but delicate at the same time – a kiss that said he wanted her but it was going to be no one night stand. Mark played with the hem of her shirt before eventually pulling it over her head. His hand made his way up her stomach and found its way to her breasts, which he gently massaged over the thin material of her bra. Zoey removed of his shirt and marvelled at his perfectly toned body. Mark brought his spare hand round to her back and with the one hand, masterfully unhooked her bra strap within seconds. Zoey let it fall past her shoulders as she unbuttoned his jeans and rubbed his already throbbing member through his boxers. He took one of her breasts in to his mouth, nibbling it gently, which earned a soft moan from Zoey. Suddenly images of Lexie's face came in to his head and he felt a pang of guilt, something he just couldn't shake. She was about to remove his boxers when Mark pulled away from her.
"What's wrong?" Zoey asked him.
"I can't do this." Mark admitted.
"What? Did I do something wrong?" Zoey asked with a worried look on he face.
Mark shook his head. He hoped he didn't have a look of guilt on his face. "Not at all. I really, really want to Zo, trust me. I just think we should do it properly this time. We've got all the time in the world to have sex; I don't think we should rush it. I want to take you out on proper dates and just get to know you again."
The worry in Zoey's face faded and in its place was a happy smile. "I do to." She whispered and kissed him tenderly on the lips.
Mark smiled back at her and returned the kiss. "Right, I'm going to go have a cold shower." He said referring to his massive bulge in the southern region.
"Or I could just …" Zoey grinned wickedly, while trying to get hold of his member.
Mark pulled her hand away. "You know if you do that, I won't want to stop and we both agreed to wait." He kissed her again before making his way to the bathroom. He closed the door behind him, leaned back against him and breathed out.
Lexie studied Mark closely. "Are you sure nothing happened?" she asked him.
"Mm hm." He replied.
"I saw the two of you leave last night and you looked a bit cosy and she is your ex-girlfriend…"
"Lexie she may be my ex-girlfriend but she's still a very good friend of mine. I still care about her a lot. Last night we drove back to the hotel, went up to my room and went to bed – I slept on the couch like I promised you I would." Mark reassured her, lying through his teeth.
Lexie laughed slightly. "'Cause you did, I'm just being silly. Anyway I have rounds so I gotta love you and leave you." She leaned up to kiss him before leaving his office. Mark watched after her wondering what the hell he was going to do.

Downstairs in the day care, Zoey was feeding a two-year her milk as a glamorous red headed woman came in with a five year old clinging to her leg.
"Excuse me, can I drop her off? I need to run off."
Zoey looked up at the woman and saw the little girl in matching designer clothing. "Uh, just give me one second …" she said wiping the child's mouth of whom she was feeding. "Okay, I'm ready sorry about that." she smiled, getting up and making her way over to the woman.
The redhead smiled back. "It's no problem. This is Cammie, and I just need to drop her off and I'll be back probably by the end of the day." she explained, putting her hands on the little girl's shoulders.
Zoey lowered to her level and smiled at the little girl. She really was like a mini clone of her mother. Apart from her eyes; her eyes were different to her mother's. "Hi Cammie. I'm Zoey and I'll look after you while your mommy does whatever she needs to do. Why don't you go over there and play with the other boys and girls?" She said, pointing to herself and then over at the other 3 children that were already there.
"Okay." Cammie said quietly and wondered off in the opposite direction of the kids who were already there.
Zoey stood up again and turned to the redhead. "Don't worry I'm sure she'll be fine. Um, can you please fill this out?" Zoey asked, as the woman took the form from her hands and started to fill it out. "It's just so we know what not to feed her and what time she needs to sleep, if that's what you require …"
"Done. Can I go now?"
"Y-yes. Sure. Actually before you go I need to know your name." Zoey answered her.
"Dr. Montgomery - new Head of Neonatal." Was all she said before waving goodbye to her little girl and left. Zoey looked over at her who was just sitting by herself not doing anything. She wondered how a mother could just leave her child after she could quite clearly see she wasn't happy.

Derek ran in to Mark's office after running around the entire hospital looking for him. Funnily enough, he hadn't thought of his office until last minute.
"What's up Derek?" Mark asked him nonchalantly. He was sitting behind his desk filling out some paper work.
"Chief … Addison … here … work." Derek tried to get out.
Mark's head shot up. "What about Addison?"
Derek put his forefinger up to indicate he needed a minute to catch his breath. Finally he said, "Chief spoke to me. Addison is coming to Seattle to work as a neonatal surgeon."
Mark looked up and saw the sincerity in Derek's face. "When's she coming?"
Derek fell back on the couch behind him. "I believe it's today."
"And you just thought you'd come running in here to tell me that? Fuck Derek I thought something had happened to Zoey again!"
Derek furrowed his forehead. "Why would you think that?"
"Because last time you came running up to me, Zoey had been brought in to the hospital!"
"Ah, good point. Well just as I knew you'd be frightened about the state of Zoey, I thought you'd be frightened of the prospect of my ex-wife popping up unexpectedly and thought you might need someone to help steady you." Derek joked.
"That was a terrible joke my friend."
"Yeah, I know …"
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
An hour later Mark had remained in his office in order to avoid bumping in to Derek's ex-wife, the woman he had slept with after he had so brutally ended his relationship with Zoey. There was a knock at the door and Mark's heart started to race. What if that was her? He didn't think he could handle that …
Before he got a chance to think the door opened and Lexie walked in. "Hey, am I interrupting something?"
Mark's heart slowed down a bit but soon started to race again as the door closed and Lexie was now sitting on his lap kissing his neck.
Mark stared at the door and prayed that no one else would walk in. "Hey Lex, do you think we could continue this a bit later? I've got piles of paperwork to do."
Lexie stopped what she was doing and looked at him like he had just asked her to chew her arm off. She didn't understand what had got in to him. They hadn't had sex in just over three days and she couldn't work out what she had done wrong. "What's wrong?" She asked him.
Mark sighed. "Nothing. I'm just really busy."
"What, too busy to pay attention to your girlfriend? You always make time to pay attention to me." She said seductively, kissing his neck again, paying extra attention to the one spot that would always get him going. That did it. He swooped her up in his arms and sat her on his desk as he stood between her legs. He closed the gap between the two of them and kissed her passionately for the first time in what seemed like forever. Lexie started to untie his scrub pants and let them drop to the floor. She rubbed his member through the thin material that was his boxers, his member getting harder by the second. Lexie pulled his boxers down and then droped to her knees, bringing her mouth to his incredibly large manhood. Mark groaned as she began sucking, taking him further in to her mouth. He gently pushed her away and picked her to place her on his desk. He removed her panties which were already wet and threw them on the floor. Lexie opened her legs wider, placing each one on either side of Mark, allowing him to enter her fully, which he was only to happy to do so. It was slow at first but he as soon as they both got their rhythm they sped Normal 0 up. Mark kept an eye on the door as realisation hit him that it wasn't locked and anyone could walk in. He stuck his mouth to Lexie's as her moans started to get louder, which only meant that she was about to climax as was he. A minute later, Mark's head had collapsed on her shoulder, both of them were breathing heavily. They quickly got dressed before anyone realised what was going on in his office. "I'll see you tonight?" Lexie asked.
"Yes, definately." he said, flashing her his mcdreamy smile. Mark suddenly groaned at the sound of knocking on the door. "I'm busy – go away!" he growled out to the person behind the door before leaning in to kiss Lexie. The door swung open and Zoey came in laughing. Mark froze with shock as he put laugh to face. Lexie, however, didn't realise the door had opened and continued to move closer to him. "I hope you don't always talk to your colleagues like that," she said, with a massive grin on her face before noticing Mark and Lexie. Lexie turned round to face her as she realised someone else was in the room. Zoey's face fell once she had witnessed the scene in front of her. "Wha-what's going on?" she stuttered, not that she needed to ask the question. It was pretty obvious what was going on and she had fallen for it yet again.
"Zoey, wait - I can explain ..." Mark started
Zoey didn't want to know. She shook her head violently and ran out the room allowing the tears to fall from her eyes, not giving a care in the world who saw her.
Back inside his office, Mark was still staring at the door where he saw Zoey break down in to tears for the second time. "Fuck!" he shouted out, running his hands through his hair.
Lexie looked on confused. "Hey, what's up? So your ex-girlfriend walked in on us nearly kissing … she shouldn't have walked in when you told her to go away. Besides ... it could have been a lot worse ... imagine if she walked in 30 seconds earlier." she said giggling.
"You don't understand Lex."
"What's there not to understand? She knows we're together, what did she expect?"
Mark sighed. "I don't know."
Lexie turned his head to face her. "You're not telling me the full story are you?" she asked him, who just simply shook his head. "Then tell me."
Mark sighed again. "I guess she thought something was going to happen again between me and her."
"What? Why would she think that?"
Mark looked away from her and reluctantly shrugged. He knew he shouldn't make Zoey out to be the bad guy when it was he who told her they would be together but he couldn't say that to Lexie. He couldn't watch another woman break down in front of him. "She must have got the wrong idea when I asked her to stay with me last night." He mumbled.
"How? I mean, you said nothing happened. You must have made it clear that it was strictly platonic between the two of you, especially when you slept on the couch." When Mark remained silent, Lexie started to panic a bit. "You did sleep on the couch didn't you? Yes you must have done because you wouldn't lie to me." She added. Mark continued to say nothing – guilt filling his body and mind. Lexie's breathing began to get heavier as she realised that he did lie to her. "You didn't sleep on the couch did you?" Mark shook his head slowly. "Oh my go- you promised me! You promised me you would sleep on the couch!" she cried.
"Lexie, it wasn't like that!" he insisted.
"I don't believe you!" she shouted at him.
"Lexie! Please believe me! Why would I do anything that would ruin our relationship?"
"Did you sleep with her?"
"No. I promise you, I did not sleep with her. She was lying in the bed and she asked me to join her - nothing dodgy! - we even put a wall of pillows between us."
Lexie smiled. "Okay."
"You do believe me don't you Lex?"
"Mmm hmm." she said almost too cheerfully, causing Mark to think otherwise. "I gotta go."
She walked out the room and Mark followed. He watched her disappear round the corner before punching a wall and yelling in aggravation.
"I see you're still up to your old ways. Two girls running out of your office within minutes of each other." A voice said behind Mark. He spun round to see a feisty redhead in designer clothing standing to his left.
