"I need to talk to you." Meredith said as she aggressively pulled Cristina into an on-call room.
Cristina sat down on the bed and looked up at Meredith pacing back and forth.
"I did something." Meredith gave Cristina a guilty look and Cristina stared back at her inquisitively.
"I did something REALLLY bad."
"What, did you kill a man? Where is the body, I can help you bury it."
Meredith rolled her eyes at Cristina. She stopped pacing and stood silently for a few seconds.
"So a few weeks ago me and Derek were fighting."
"Yea I know."
"How do you know? I didn't tell you about that."
"Meredith. Everyone knows. You were screaming at him in the middle of the hospital."
"Oh. Well, after that I went to Joe's and started shooting tequila."
"As one does."
"And well, I was really drunk."
"Oh what did you do."
"I sorta... cheated on Derek."
At this Cristina stood up, "Meredith...."
"I know. I told you it was bad. I was so drunk I don't even remember doing it."
"Are you going to tell Derek?"
"Derek already knows. He caught us."
"He caught you while you two were..."
"No. Thank god. He walked in the morning after. We were passed out in our bed."
"You cheated on him in his own bed. That's a low blow."
Meredith glared at Cristina.
"Ok well, are you two still together? You seem together."
"Yea. He seems to forgive me. We talked about it and he said that we are going to get through it and that he couldn't really blame me for something I can't even remember doing."
"Then what's the issue?"
"He has just... been different ever since."
"Is he yelling at you all the time or-"
Meredith cut her off with a defensive, "No!" She continued with, "He's just been... friendly."
"Oh so he has been sex-crazed? Trying to remark his territory?"
"No. Friendly as in friend like. We sleep on opposite sides of the bed, we make a lot of small talk, and-" Meredith paused. "We haven't even kissed since..."
"Oh." Cristina replied cautiously.
"I just- Does he no longer find me attractive?"
"If that's true then he is an idiot."
"Hmm. Well. I just. I don't know what to do."
"Are you considering leaving him?" Meredith stared back at her horrified as Cristina continued, "I mean he is your boyfriend and he is not doing his job. I'm just saying I would totally understand if-"
"I am not leaving him! Even a sexless relationship with him would still be worth it." Meredith huffed. "I got to go."
As Meredith was opening the door Cristina said, "Hey Mer,"
Meredith turned to look at her again.
"You're hot. He's gonna want to have sex with you eventually."
