{motel 6} In which Sam and Lexie have coffee.
Lexie: [No, she didn't bounce out of surgery. Not at all. So it was three hours, she was feeling great. She went into the locker room and changed quickly. She didn't want to get caught in a conversation with anyone, she just wanted to leave. So before long she was walking out of the hospital in a simple green summer dress and strappy heels, with her hair hanging loose]
Sam: [was sitting parked on the curb, leaning against the hood of his car. he's not overly dressed up, just in a nice button down and clean jeans with no holes, but he looks nicer than he normally does. He straightens a bit when he sees her and gives him a smile]
Lexie: [grins and stops in front of him] Hi!
Sam: Hi. Have a good day?
Lexie: [bright-faced as she says it] I just spent three hours with my hand in a chest cavity.
Sam: [laughs] Sounds like fun.
Lexie: [sets a hand on his chest and leans in to look up at him] And one day? I'll actually be running the surgery.
Sam: Good to know. [leans in to kiss her gently, before reaching over to grab the handle for the door] Ready to go?
Lexie: Sure. [slides into the passenger seat]
Sam: [closes the door behind her and goes to slide into the passenger's seat]
Lexie: [puts her seatbelt on and leans in a bit to him to look up at him] So where are we going?
Sam: There's this nice place not too far from here.
Lexie: Taking me somewhere nice, huh?
Sam: [smirks] Well, I figure, third date. Should be something nice.
Lexie: Aren't you charming?
Sam: I have my moments.
Lexie: Just a few? [teasing him, cute nose wrinkle]
Sam: [grin] Only in the presence of certain attractive women.
Lexie: Women plural?
Sam: Well, at the moment, there's only one.
Lexie: [grins] Good.
Sam: [grins back at her, before continuing to drive]
Lexie: [leans back and watches out the window]
Sam: [eventually pulls into the parking lot of the restaurant, and pops out to open her door again]
Lexie: [steps out and glances at the restaurant] Oh, I've never been here.
Sam: Neither have I.
Lexie: [tucks her hand in his arm]
Sam: [leads the way inside and gets them to their table]
Lexie: [goes with, being a little awed and wooed already as they go]
Sam: [they sit and and chat a bit while they look over the menu and then they order their food]
Lexie: [and more chatting while they eat?]
Sam: [yup, but small talk is hard to play, so we can just imply it?]
Lexie: [indeed, through dessert, because she would insist upon dessert]
Sam: [Sam would not complain about the dessert]
Lexie: [and they eventually make it back to the car?]
Sam: [yup, and Sam drives her home]
Lexie: I'd invite you in for coffee or something, but...everyone's...kinda home tonight. [and when she says everyone, she more means Karev, and she isn't so sure she wants Sam near Karev after the things she's sad about him]
Sam: [nods] I understand.
Lexie: But..I would, you know. Invite you in for coffee. [and now she's stammering]
Sam: [smiles a bit, before leaning across the seat to kiss her] Yeah. I know.
Lexie: [shuts up and kisses him back]
Sam: [breaks the kiss after a minute, before giving her a smile] Maybe we can have coffee another time.
Lexie: Maybe. [leans in to kiss him again]
Sam: [kisses him back, moving one hand to brush against her cheek softly] Or we could go have coffee at my place.
Lexie: [smiles] That sounds even better.
Sam: [grins a little more] So maybe we should go there, then.
Lexie: Okay.
Sam: Okay.
Lexie: [kisses him once more in case he thinks of changing his mind, then sits down again]
Sam: [oh, he wasn't changing his mind. once she's settled, he pulls away and drives them back to his motel room. he's looking for an apartment, but for now that's where he's staying]
Lexie: [waits, not too patiently, biting her lip. She doesn't really care where he's staying]
Sam: [parks the car, and then climbs out of the car, moving around to the door to wait for her before starting to open it]
Lexie: [gets out to follow]
Sam: [opens the door, before stepping back to let her in ahead of him]
Lexie: [steps in and glances around]
Sam: [closes the door behind her] Make yourself at home.
Lexie: [looks around a bit more, then turns and sits down on his bed and leans back against her hands, looking up at him]
Sam: [drops his keys on the table, before moving closer to her] So. Should I get that coffee?
Lexie: No. [shakes her head, still gazing up at him]
Sam: No? [still moving closer]
Lexie: [leans back on the bed more] No.
Sam: [leans over her, just hovering and not quite kissing her yet] Okay.
Lexie: [brushes her fingers along his jaw]
Sam: [leans into her touch a bit before tipping his head closer to hers] Are you sure?
Lexie: [nods] Yes.
Sam: [nods and leans in to kiss her again, one hand moving to brace himself on the bed]
Lexie: [sighs and leans up to meet him]
Sam: [goes slow with the kiss, just taking his time as one hand moves to her side]
Lexie: [relaxes, moving her fingers up through his hair]
Sam: [starts to lower them back onto the bed more, his hand moving to support the small of her back as he moved them back on the bed to get more comfortable]
Lexie: [goes with, pulling him down closer]
Sam: [settles above her, not enough that he's crushing her, but enough that there's the gentle pressure of him above her]
Lexie: [slides her leg up his hip a bit, pushing herself up against him]
Sam: [deepens the kiss, one hand sliding over her thigh as he shifts his weight just slightly]
Lexie: [whimpers slightly and tightens her fingers in his hair]
Sam: [his hand brushes over her skin, paushing for a moment when he reached the hemline of her dress, before moving forward under the fabric towards her hip]
Lexie: [gasps slightly, moving her lips to brush his jaw]
Sam: [drops his head to her shoulder, pressing kisses to her skin as his hand slowly inched higher, soaking in the feeling her pressed against him]
Lexie: [leans back with a soft moan as her hands drag down his back, and slide under his shirt]
Sam: [curls into her, pressing his back into her hands as he nudged at her chin with his nose, dragging kisses up her neck]
Lexie: [turns to catch his lips, pulling at his shirt]
Sam: [pushes back just long enough to get the buttons of his shirt down far enough that he could yank it over his head and drop it to the floor before leaning back in to kiss her again]
Lexie: [kisses him back and runs her hands down his chest slowly]
Sam: [his hands run over her sides and back, looking for the zipper to the dress so he can get it off her]
Lexie: [raises her back off the bed so her can reach it]
Sam: [finds it, pulls it down, and starts to push the material off her shoulders, his lips following to explore the new skin]
Lexie: [closes her eyes and moves her body to meet his lips]
Sam: [continues to move lower against her, his hands coming up to slide over her skin and brush against her curves]
Lexie: [grips on to him, her nails digging in slightly]
Sam: [pushes away from her again, just enough to rid them of the rest of their clothing, before leaning back into her again, enjoying the press of skin-on-skin]
Lexie: [wraps herself around him and pulls him in for another kiss]
Sam: [leans into her and drops his hips in closer, just letting himself get lost in her for as long as he can]
Lexie: [meets him move for move and eventually falls back against the bed, breathless]
Sam: [collapses beside her with a gasp, shifting off her just slightly so that his weight doesn't crush her, brushing soft kisses against her shoulder as he comes down]
Lexie: [curls against him and looks up at him with a smile]
Sam: [wraps his arms around her, pulling her closer] Good?
Lexie: [grins] Yes.
Sam: [grins too] Good.
Lexie: [locks her ankle around his] Good for you?
Sam: [nods] Don't want you to leave.
Lexie: Do I look like I'm going anywhere?
Sam: [smirks before brushing a kiss to her nose] You'll have to at some point. Back to work.
Lexie: [sighs] I happen to have the next 36 hours off.
Sam: Really?
Lexie: [nods] Happens like..once a month.
Sam: ... Well, I guess I should call in sick then.
Lexie: [laughs] You don't have to.
Sam: No. I want to. I can live without the money. [he had fake credit cards for that] I just want to spend time with you.
Lexie: [bright smile now] Well...I am a doctor. I could write you a note.
Sam: Oh yeah?
Lexie: [smirks and leans over to brush his lips to hers] Yeah.
Sam: [grins as he settles in closer] So I'm really, really sick, then.
Lexie: Mmm. Really hot. Think you might have a fever.
Sam: So clearly I need to stay in bed and get better.
Lexie: [slides over him] Well luckily you're in very good hands.
Sam: [leans back and settles beneath her] I'll do whatever you suggest, Doctor.
Lexie: [grins and leans in to kiss him]
Sam: [kisses her back, settling more under her so he could feel the press of her against him]
