You're Still The One
Disclaimer: I do not own Grey’s anatomy. They belong to Shonda Rhimes and ABC. If I did Mark and Lexie would be married already. I used some lines from Adrift and at Peace which was written by Joan Rater and Tony Phelan.
A/N: So happy about 7x10. I have been wanting to write something about that scene for awhile but with the holidays I was really busy. This is dedicated to all my girls at the little big love thread at fanfourm. I am so happy I have you guys to squee about Mark/Lexie and calm me when things go badly. Hope you all enjoy!
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life

As she walked to Joe’s to meet Mark for the drinks she agreed to she felt very anxious. She knew she was still in love with him that never changed. What exactly was he hoping for? She did not think anything has changed in the past year; they were still in very different places in their lives. Sometimes love is just not enough. She knew what she had to do. She had to tell him that. It would be unfair to both of them, otherwise.
As she made her way through the crowd she saw him sitting there, drinking. Lexie wanted to get this over with so she decided to just start talking, no idle chit-chat.
“I know I agreed to have a drink with you but as I walked here I realized how unfair that was. You know? It’s unfair to you; it’s unfair to me, because really nothing has changed. I mean; you’re still in a very different place in your life than I am and you want different-“
She did not get to finish her sentence however because Mark’s lips were on hers. All of a sudden all her thoughts left her mind. She could not help but kiss him back. Lexie had missed this so much. Just a kiss from Mark and her body felt like it was on fire. She’s not sure how long they stayed like that, if could have been hours for all she knew.
As their lips parted, no words were spoken. The way he is looking at her it feels like he can see into her soul. She hears Jackson saying something about Bailey and the ICU. Mark is caressing her face and she has to focus to ask Jackson to take care of it. He kisses her again and all is right in the world. She knows they have things to talk about so they don’t screw it up again but for now this is perfect. After a year apart she won’t deny it anymore, Mark Sloan is the one for her. She had tried to move on but it just did not work. No man could ever compare to him in her eyes. He was the man who did not think twice about protecting her from gunfire, no thought about his own life, only to get Lexie to safety. No matter where she was as long as she had Mark, she was home.
