Last part...

"I'm back!" We here the voice yell.

"Cristina?" Alex and I say at the same time.

Meredith's POV

I run to the door to hug her, Alex following behind me. I smile at him before she hugs him. 

"What are you doing, here? I thought your plane landed tomorrow." I ask her.

"Well it's your birthday tomorrow and I wanted to be there for it. I've missed the last couple." She replies giving me another hug. 

"Tomorrow we're actually having a party so you came just in time!" Alex says, a little too enthusiastic.

The next day I woke up to Cristina and Alex jumping on my bed, while Alex was singing "Happy Birthday" to me. I thanked both of them and got ready for the party.

Not that I was dressing up for Alex, but him thinking I looked hot would be an advantage. So I wore a dress that was just a tiny bit too revealing, a silver necklace, and heels. I also curled my hair and did my makeup.

As I walked down the stairs, Cristina ran up to me and said, "Wow Mer, you look stunning."

I glanced at Alex who's jaw was dropped, but once I noticed he coughed and replied, "Yeah."

After Cristina walked away and none of the guests had arrived yet, Alex brought me into the living room. 

"Mer, you look gorgeous." He tells me, smiling. He grabs my hand.

I smile back and say, "You look handsome too." We get closer, until Cristina walks in and he lets go of my hand.

"Yeah you do. Who are you dressing up for? I thought you and Wilson broke up?" Cristina asks Alex. We both immediately start blushing.

"Oh uh- no one." He starts. The doorbell rang and Cristina went to open it.

"Saved by the bell." She yells.

A little while later, I see Alex by the stairs. I walk up to him as he holds my hand and leads me to my room. He immediately starts kissing me, leading me towards the bed.

"You know, eventually, we're going to have to talk about this." I say, in between kisses.

"Sure, but right now let's enjoy your birthday." He replies, sitting on the bed. He throws me onto the bed and tackles me.

"Alex!" I yell. "You're a jerk." We start laughing. 

As we calm down, he puts a piece of hair behind my ear and brings me on his lap, never breaking his gaze. He starts planting kisses on my jawline and then back on my lips. 

"Mer there you are-" She then looks at us, back and forth between Alex and I. "Uh, I-ok." She walks out, not saying another word. She then opens the door back up and opens her mouth to say something, before closing the door again.

"Alex, did that seriously just happen?" I ask him.

"I uh think so."

"We're so screwed. We haven't talked about this. I don't even know what this is. Is this a mistake? It is a mistake. I didn't tell my person that I'm in love with my best friend and new person." I ramble. Wait did I just tell Alex that I'm in love with him? I look at him and see his adorable little smirk. 

"You're in love with me?" He asks, but it's more like a statement.

"I-uh. Yeah."
