Title: Fix You
Pairing: Izzie Addison
Sorry it took a while to get this here, had work.
Chapter Seven
It had been a week since you had seen any trace of her. You walk throughout the halls of the hospital in a confused daze, hoping that you might somehow run into her, but at the same time not wanting to face the inevitable, which was that she regretted what had happened.
It’s not until you walk into the elevator that you finally see her, you almost stop yourself from entering before you finally decide on walking in. Her head is bowed, glasses on, and she seemed absorbed in the chart she was reading. As you walk in, she quickly glances from her chart to look up at you, and then finally glanced back down.
You clear your throat uncomfortably at the awkward silence that had found itself inside the elevator. Your eyes drift aimlessly to the floor and you feel her gaze fall once again on you. You laugh bitterly to yourself and say, “I can’t take this.” You quickly press the button on the elevator which suddenly makes it come to a halt and she watches you apprehensively.
“You kissed me okay? You kissed me. Not the other way around, so stop acting like it.”
“Dr. Stevens-” She starts.
“No.” You interrupt her. “You can’t do crossword porn and then kiss me and not expect me to react okay? I reacted when you kissed me, so there, I admit it. You just need to admit that you were the one that kissed me.” You give a breath of relief and then wait for her to speak.
Slowly, the corners of her mouth turn upright as she says, “Crossword porn Stevens? You should be a little embarrassed.”
“I am.” You say quickly and a little too seriously.
“Good.” Removing her glasses, she lowers her chart and walks over to you. “And as for kissing you, I admit it.” She says with a small nod.
Suddenly your throat feels tight as she inches her way closer to you, her eyes glancing quickly to your lips. You lick your lips and say, “Good.” Your eyes suddenly move about the room awkwardly as you try and keep them off of her and the fact that she was dangerously close to you, not that you minded.
She smiles, probably at your obvious uneasiness. “Was I really that bad?” She asks suddenly, which surprises you.
You smile and shake your head. “Not really, everyone uses their tongue as a placeholder for their pen.”
“Oh god.” She says as she places a hand to her forehead.
“Yeah …” You say finding it amusing to see her act somewhat embarrassed. “That’s not that bad though, last night I made a dozen muffins and ate the entire batch, by myself.”
She looks up at you with a mild amount of astonishment written on her face as she asks, “Seriously?”
You nod. “Seriously.”
She chuckles silently and shakes her head. “That’s bad.”
“Uh huh.”
Someone’s pager interrupts the silence in the elevator, it’s hers. She looks at it and sighs, “Damn it.”
“Emergency?” You ask, hoping that the ‘damn it’ was because she needed to replace the battery on her pager and not that she had to be pulled into surgery.
She looks up at you and nods. “Yeah.”
“Oh, okay. I guess I better…”
“Yeah…” She finishes as you push the button to make the elevator resume its destination.
The doors open and she looks back at you before stepping out. “I’ll be seeing you Dr. Stevens.” With that, she’s gone, leaving you hoping that you’ll be seeing her sooner rather than later.
