Late this evening Mark and Derek had changed their scrubs and were talking in the hospital's lobby.
"Will we have a drink together?" Mark asked his friend.
"Sure. Meredith is already at Joe's. Let's go!"
"Hey you old bandits, why is all this hurry?" Michael was running after them.
"Oh no, this fucking asshole," Mark cursed.
"Come on I want to give you a drink. We have to talk at length. Let's remember the good old times," Michael sounded euphorically.
Mark and Derek exchanged glances.
"I have a feeling, that you have a lot of news to tell me," Michael smiled slyly, but in a few seconds later his countenance changed thoroughly. The face, that Michael had acquired made Mark and Derek to follow his sparkled eye. Izzie and Cristina came into view from the bottom of the corridor.
"Oh hell! She is so hot!" Michael exclaimed in a state of bliss.
Izzie looked really amazing. She was wearing a nice brown skirt, covering her knees and it fitted her very well. She was wearing her favorite expensive jacket and a soft pink scarf was wrapped around her neck. The high heel shoes made her long legs more perfect, as if they were shaped as a sculpture. She definitely looked sexy. Mark kept his breath, amazed by this beautiful view.
"What a great body she has! That woman is gorgeous!" Michael mumbled. His mouth was still opened.
"Look at him! He resembles like some cartoon character with those glazed eyes and his tongue hanging out . I'm really burning with desire to bash him on the nose," Mark said.
"It's better to repress your jealousy," Derek could not help smiling.
"See how he devours her body with eyes," Mark continued talking.
"Oh, I think to try with her," Michael informed.
"Don't touch her!" Mark advised him.
"Hey, wouldn't you share a bone with a friend, in this case it is a whole chop," Michael grinned.
"Do you really believe you have any chance with Izzie?" Mark smiled sarcastically.
"Of course I would have. The women have always been attracted by me. I have a right approach with them. If you remember well, Addison had fallen with me too," Michael reminded with swagger tone.
"What?!" Mark and Derek exclaimed together.
Izzie and Cristina have already closed them.
"I'm so happy to see the beautiful residents of Seattle Grace Hospital. How are you ladies?"
"We are very well, thank you," Izzie replied.
"Dr. Stevens, will you give me that honor to enjoy myself in your nice company? This is my first evening in Seattle and I feel myself a little lonely, here." Michael said sadly.
Izzie was just going to decline his invitation, when she noticed Mark's countenance. She immediately changed her mind.
"Of course Dr. Hudson. It would be a real pleasure for me," Izzie smiled to him.
Mark was terrified, hearing that. Michael smirked and gazed at his ex friends haughtily.
"I 'm so sorry Dr. Hudson, that I will disappoint you but we have an appointment with Dr. Stevens at Joe's," Cristina broke into the conversation.
"Is that so?" Izzie watched her surprised.
"Exactly. Come on we have to go," Cristina grabbed Izzie's hand and pulled her.
"Uh?" Michael faded, "At Joe's?", he smiled happily, "Great! We all can go there! I pay the bill!"
That idea didn't like to Mark and Derek, but they didn't have a choice.
At Joe's
When they all got there Derek headed directly to the bar where Meredith was seated with a glass of beer. Derek kissed Meredith, which attracted Michael's attention immediately.
"So, that's how matters stand! You are such a fox! I see you still have a good taste! You know what to like. Dr. Grey is a nice young woman moreover I heard she is a great resident who is going to become a good surgeon," Michael tapped Derek's shoulder.
Izzie was taking her jacket off, when Michael proved to be a good gentleman, started helping her to undress the outer garment and offered her a chair. After he ordered a drink to Izzie. Michael tried to have a seat next to her, but Cristina was ahead of him and took the chair next to Izzie.
"Excuse me, but this is my place," Cristina informed him.
"There is a free seat by my side, Dr. Hudson," Meredith offered kindly.
Meredith was sitting beside Derek at the bar, who had Izzie beside him. Michael didn't want to be far from Izzie so he declined Meredith's invitation.
"No thank you I don't need a seat, I will stand up, in this way I could talk with everybody," he lied himself out of a scrape.
"He is so low," Mark established.
"Don't worry, I will give him up from his yearnings," Cristina whispered to Mark, who was seated on the other side of her.
"Who's that guy who is courting Izzie?" Joe asked giving Mark a drink.
"He is an ass, who really teases me too much," Mark answered, sipping from his whiskey.
Joe stared at him and smiled faintly.
"Yeah I knew it. Some people are born to be together," Joe said to himself gazing first Mark then Izzie.
Michael didn't move from Izzie. He stood next to her chair and showered her with compliments.
"If I had known, that there were such beautiful women in Seattle, I would have come a long time ago. Dr. Stevens, I admit that I'm really impressed. You are so young, and for that how much beautiful you are I can't find the right words to describe you, because whatever I say would be too insignificant. Besides you have a big potential. I was watching you today very carefully. I'm sure it would come out a great surgeon from you."
"I think you exaggerate too much," Izzie said modestly.
"No, this is not a mere talk. I'm sparing of words and the truth is that you definitely aroused my curiosity," Michael sounded delighted.
"What vileness," Cristina rolled her eyes and turned to face Mark, "I don't know about you, but I would crush his awful face with a great pleasure."
"He is a base worm, but I can't believe, that Izzie is taking seriously his stupid compliments," Mark looked back at Izzie.
"She is trying to make you jealous," Cristina elucidated.
"Why she would do that?" Mark asked.
"The women like doing such things," Cristina shrugged shoulders.
"She knows very well, that I can't stand him."
"Oh, that's a good reason!" Cristina grinned.
"What shall I do?"
"Are you asking me?" Cristina raised her eyebrows.
"Yes, you are my confidential person! You are like my adviser," Mark said
"Adviser, uh?" Cristina made an amazed face, "So that means you do everything what I'm saying to do and you will follow my advises," she definitely enjoyed that idea.
"Well...I would do it, if this helps me about Izzie," Mark said mildly.
"Mmm..mmm. I love playing this role. In the real world the councilors are the most important people, they are the brain, they control the world. Everything is hold in the hollow...," Cristina recited with enthusiasm.
"Yang!" Mark took her sharply.
Cristina looked at him frowned.
"What?! I'm your brain!" She smiled.
Mark glanced at her seriously. Cristina sighed.
"Oh, OK! For a start stop paying so much attention to him. It's obvious that you are jealous.."
Mark tried to say something, but Cristina stopped him.
"Don't deny it! Izzie knows that you are irritated and she makes it intentionally. That fellow is too annoyingly even for Izzie. She is just using him."
"Damn it! I know, but I can't stop myself. Whenever I think what kind of thoughts are passing through his mind... I'm absolutely sure he imagines Izzie naked,"
"Every man sees Izzie naked in his mind," Cristina calmed him.
"What? Seriously?" Mark got insane.
"You should get used to that idea! The importance is that you have already seen her naked."
"Yes once. And I could not get her out of my head," Mark sighed.
"If you want to see her naked again you must thrust me!"
"I'll do it!" Mark nodded briskly.
***********************************
"I begin to fall in love in Seattle," Michael confessed.
"Yeah that's a dangerous syndrome! Everyone who comes here forgets to leave," Izzie sipped from her beer, gazing at Mark, who made himself indifferent to her remark.
"So you and Dr. Grey live in one house."
"Yes, me and Alex live in her house. Before we were more people there, it was real fun so many different people to live together. But we all are one family. Now Dr. Shepherd moved at Meredith's too." Izzie informed him.
"Derek is a lucky man," Saying that Michael turned to Mark, "Mark, I'm surprised you haven't settled down in that happy house too. Usually you are always there, where there are beautiful women," he joked.
"You are right I'm always there, where there are beautiful women. And now I see two of them to get in the bar," Mark stated. Erica and Callie headed to one lonely table in the corner of the bar. Izzie made a face, which was noticed by Mark, who has decided to act. He turned to them and screamed.
"Callie, Erica can I join you?"
Erica wasn't admired for this idea, but Callie accepted it with a satisfied appearance.
"Sure, you are welcome!" Callie replied.
"Great! What do you want to drink?" Mark asked kindly.
"Wine!" Callie answered.
"Wine?! It's very romantic," Mark smiled
"Yes we have an occasion to celebrate," Erica announced. Callie dropped her eyes with embarrassment.
"Perfect, I will celebrate with you," Mark took a bottle of wine with two glasses, his whiskey and directed to the table. Izzie followed him by sight, frowning.
"Ah this sly dog, he hasn't changed at all. His feebleness has always been the women," Michael laughed and went to the bathroom.
"Joe, I want one more beer, please!" Izzie shouted.
"I hope you will not get drunk," Cristina looked at her worried.
"Why is he doing that? Why does he piss me off? He thinks, that could make me jealous. What a stupid idea!" Izzie said ardently.
"I think it had a good effect," Cristina grinned.
"I can't be jealous of woman who likes woman," Izzie stated.
"What?!" Cristina choked with her drink.
"Callie and Erica are...they are...," Izzie stammered, "they fall one to another,"
Cristina turned with a body to Izzie with widely opened eyes.
"They are good friends," Cristina mumbled.
"They are much more than that," Izzie made a hint.
"Lesbians?!" Cristina exclaimed loudly.
"Shhhh…, don't speak so loud! Yes, they are." Izzie whispered.
Cristina stood silent for a couple of minutes and then exclaimed again.
"Oh my God! Do you know how many times Callie has seen me naked. And as I think of that Erica too!"
"So what?" Izzie asked.
"They could attack me with desire!"
"Seriously?! Don't make a fool of yourself!" Izzie laughed.
Michael appeared again.
"Are you bored, ladies?" He asked.
Cristina rolled her eyes annoyingly.
****************************************************
"Erica I thought you will work tonight," Mark sipped from his whiskey.
"Since when you are interested in my work schedule?" Erica asked sharply.
Mark looked at Callie automatically, she dropped her eyes down.
"I found that out casually. Anyway what are we going to celebrate this evening?" He smiled widely.
"For all I know you nothing!" Erica snapped at him.
"For someone who is celebrating you are not in a high spirit," Mark smirked.
Callie decided to cut into the conversation, changing the subject.
"I see Izzie Stevens has a new adorer, " Callie remarked.
Mark's countenance had changed instantly.
"Jester!" He stated quarrelsome, staring at Izzie.
"It is evident, that Stevens doesn't think so. Look how she has great fun with him," Callie watched Mark inquisitively.
"He has no any chance with her! By no means!" He said with conviction.
"Why are you so sure about that?" Callie took interest.
"I just know! Stevens would never be with him!"
"I didn't know, that you know her so well," Callie said with a strange tone.
Mark removed his eyes from Izzie and stared at Callie.
"I know her enough to know and to be sure of some things," Mark replied calmly.
"Oh, maybe you have managed to get to know each other, while you have being stuck in the elevator..." Callie provoked him.
"Yes we have had many things for which to talk about," he explained.
Callie laughed nervously.
"Mark Sloan has just begun to talk with women, besides with hot blond ex under wearing model... It is very interesting," Callie said ironically.
Erica, who stood with indifference in that conversation, turned to Callie.
"Are you jealous to him?" She asked seriously.
"Me?! Of course not. Erica where did you get that idea from? I'm was just thinking," Callie justified.
"Your thinking sounds too roughly," Erica observed, sipping from her wine.
Callie felt awkwardly, she looked at Erica saying nothing. Mark was smiling and took his glass of whiskey, gazing at Callie with the edge of his eye.
"Hey my friend, what will you say to play one Darts game with me? Do you still have so precise sight, like in the old days?" Michael closed them with happy smile.
"I have always been a good marksman, I hit the mark at once!" Mark said proudly, shooting a glance at Izzie, who came to the table too. She caught his gaze.
"I agree, but this time I have a good support. Dr. Stevens will bring luck to me!" Michael annonced.
Mark rose to his feet and put close to Michael.
"Even Dr. Stevens couldn't help you." Saying that Mark passed closely beside Izzie, their eyes met. The air was full with vibes. The same thrill overwhelmed them. For a couple of seconds as if the time had stopped for Izzie and Mark. Every one of them wanted to grab the other giving green light of their passion. Michael interrupted the moment.
"Hey Mark, did you get scared?" He shouted.
Mark silently went to take the arrows.
Izzie leaned her back to the wall and watched them...or more exactly she couldn't remove her eyes from Mark. He was really good. With every hit, Mark looked at Izzie as if he wanted to say to her, that every win was dedicated to her. But not only Izzie was interested in Mark. The whole Callie's attention was concentrated on him.
"Are you really so interested?" With this question Erica returned Callie's attention back.
"Excuse me?"
"I'm asking if Sloan means so much for you, that you couldn't remove your eyes from him?" Erica asked calmly.
"Erica, what are you talking about?"
"Since we have come here, you couldn't take your eyes off him."
"It's not true. I'm not interested in him at all. I just notice, that there is some change in him," Callie explained.
"Is that concern you?" Erica raised her eyebrows.
"This has nothing to do with me, I'm just curious to know what has made him to change. I think it is concerned with some woman." Callie admitted.
"I see you want to know who has taken your place in his bed!"
Callie jumped angrily.
"You insult me," she was just about to leave, when Erica grabbed her hand.
"Wait! I'm so sorry. I didn't want to say this. It's just...sometimes I have the feeling that you feel some emotion towards him. I admit that I'm jealous, I know I don't have right to do it, but when I see you both together, even just talking my heart breaks. Please forgive me, don't be angry with me," Erica sounded sincerely.
Callie took a seat again.
"Look Erica, my relations with Mark Sloan don't concern ours. He is just my friend," Callie told.
"Friend with whom you have had sex," Saying that Erica sighed, "I'm sorry!"
"It is. I don't deny it. I have spent great moments with Mark, but they were in the bed. We had sex, but with you I feel myself unexplainable. We are talking, we are laughing, we have so much fun together with you, with him I have never done all that. I can't stop speaking with him, only because you are jealous. Take things as they are. Mark is just a friend." Callie concluded.
Erica nodded in agreement, but she wasn't sure in her heart of hearts of Callie's words.
***************************************************************************************************
Mark didn't give any chance to Michael to win.
"Well, if I have no luck in the game, I hope to be lucky in the love," Michael said cheerfully, shooting a glance to Izzie. Mark's satisfied looking made Izzie to give a seductively smile to Michael.
"Yeah I believe in that dictum too!" She told.
"Really?!" Michael ignored Mark immediately, turning with his back to him. Michael took Izzie's hand and directed straightly to the bar. "So let's drink for that!" He offered, turning his head back to see Mark. Michael winked at him with accomplish. Mark didn't like this gesture. Cristina had a foreboding of that what could happen so she stood in his way, putting her hands on Mark's chest. She pushed him to one chair.
"Easy stallion!" She calmed him.
"I will smash his mug so that even I would not be able to repair it with plastic surgeon after," Mark angered.
"Usually I'm all for such spectacles especially when I have financial profit of that, but now is not the right moment to play the role of superman," Cristina said sharply.
"I can't contain myself, when I know for his dirty thoughts about Izzie. Do you know what makes me crazy? He thinks that has a chance with Izzie, can you imagine it? He is pygmy."
"Yeah why do the short men have so many complexes?!" Cristina wondered.
"But she pisses me off more than him! See how she is laughing at his bluntness," Mark indicated Izzie with a glance.
"And… she will continue to do it, unless you don't stop showing her how much you are mad about her!" Christina explained.
"But I'm mad!" Mark admitted.
"Stop being mad! Izzie wants exactly that. I have already told you, that she behaves like teenage sometimes, not that this is bad. Listen, I want to ask you something. Hahn and Callie...," Cristina paused for a second, "Are they...together?"
"Yes they are," Mark confirmed.
"So Hahn doesn't prefer penises..."
"Callie has no penis I guarantee about that," he smirked, "So Hahn doesn't like that attribute."
Cristina thoughtfully nodded.
**********************************************************************************
"According to you what are Mark and Christina talking about?" Callie asked.
"I don't know for what Mark Sloan could talk with a woman, I mean the subjects are too limited," Erica replied dryly.
"Do you know that I see them for second time together today," Callie observed.
"So what?" Erica raised her eyebrows.
"Don't you think it is strange...Do you think they sleep together?"
Erica has just sipped from her wine, when Callie shoot that question.
"Sloan and Yang?" Erica choked, "I have deeply doubts of that. Somehow I could not imagine those two together."
"Probably we are an unusual couple too," Callie suggested with smile.
Erica laughed.
"Oh yeah. But I think that first of all we are beautiful couple too!" Erica caressed Callie's hand.
**************************************************************************************
"Come on, it's time to go home!" Cristina called on Izzie.
"I don't want to go home, Dr. Hudson is great fun, he is telling me so interesting stories of his life," Izzie retorted.
"Yeah it's a pity, that these stories have been happened only in his dreams," Mark clarified, sipping from his whiskey.
"Move your ass, we have to get up early in the morning tomorrow," Cristina ordered, removing Izzie from the chair and gave her jacket roughly.
"What have come over you?" Izzie asked angrily.
"Go!" Cristina said sharply
"I will accompany you to the car," Michael offered obligingly.
"It's not necessary, thank you," Cristina declined immediately.
"Well, see you tomorrow Dr. Stevens," Michael smiled oily.
Cristina and Izzie went.
"Why do you behave so rudely?" Izzie asked.
"You went too far," Cristina commented.
"What?"
"It wasn't necessary to flatter that squit so much, only to make Sloan to be jealous," Cristina expressed her opinion.
On Izzie's face spread out a pleased smile.
"Do you think it had an effect?"
"Do you know, that you are crazier even than Meredith?!" Cristina rolled her eyes annoyingly.

Izzie switched off the lamp on the night stand and crept under the covering in her bed. When she closed her eyes Mark's face emerged instantly. Izzie bit her lips wistfully and smiled inscrutably. A ringing of her mobile startled her thoughts. Izzie looked the display, the phone number was unknown for her. She took a glance at the clock instinctively, it was almost midnight. Who could be in that time. Izzie pushed the green button.
"Hello!"
"Are you already in the bed?" It was that husky voice, which has made her heart to start beating in wild rhythm. Izzie could hardly find her voice.
"Where did you get my phone number?" She asked with low voice.
"I have friends... I just wanted to tell you good night..."
Izzie smiled. Thanks God, Mark couldn't see her blushed cheeks and the great excitement, which overwhelmed her, hearing his sexy voice. Mark has called to tell her good night. It would be better if he was here in her bed telling it personally. Enough Izzie she said to herself.
"Good night," Izzie mumbled.
"Thanks, I think to get sleep enough, because when you come in my bed, I want to be in a good shape and I will not have intentions to sleep at all."
"Why are you so sure, that I would come in your bed?"
"Well, if you prefer I could come in yours...." Mark offered.
"I wonder how great is to have your self confidence!" Izzie suggested.
"Yep, I'm full with virtues," he announced.
"Of course!" Izzie rolled her eyes, "Well, I think you just called me to tell me good night."
"Actually and for one more thing, I wanted to know something..."
"What do you want to know?" Izzie asked.
"Are you sleeping naked?"
"No Mark I don't sleep naked!" Izzie firmly said.
"Oh...that's fine. When you start sleeping with me you will be naked all the time," Mark informed her.
"Good night, Mark!"
"Good night Izzie!"
Izzie pushed the red button and for several long minutes, she stared at the display. Her pleased smile didn't remove from her face. She entered the telephone's menu to insert and save Mark's number. After that Izzie sighed touching with lips her mobile thoughtfully.
Mark has rested himself in the soft embrace of his sheets. He mused over whether he felt himself only physically attracted by Izzie, but he declined that thought quickly. That he felt to flare up between them every time, when their eyes met, had nothing in common with the feelings, that have been raised inside him the other women in his life. And that jealousy that didn't abandon him all day long. Mark you become an old, man! He put his hands behind his head and tried to imagine Izzie in his bed. That thought made him to smile lasciviously. His imagination began to work feverishly and before his eyes enumerated erotic scenes every more passionately than the previous ones. Mark was surprised what a great excitement he felt from that. He liked how his body reacted only imagining how he and Izzie were making unreal sex. Unreal sex, dam nit where has fetched you that woman! Mark pictured her gorgeous naked body, pressed with his one. Oh God, if he hasn't stop with all these wild and passion thoughts he would look like that asshole Michael Hudson, who could be with a woman only in his night imaginations and dreams....
