Strange, crazy and wonderful

Denial

Blake stared at the glass in her hand, the ice knocked back and forth against the glass.

"If you stare any longer, you might just melt that ice." Blake's lips twitched at the familiar dulcet tone and found Meredith's eyes.

"Is this the part where you hit on me? Maybe compliment my accent and get me drunk enough to take advantage of me?" She asked sipping her bourbon.

Meredith licked her lips "You know .. the key to surviving a surgical internship is denial." She paused looking Blake right in the eyes "Since you came, I've been denying, denying every little thing you make me feel, every reaction you invoke.." She shook her head "I deny how scared I am, I deny how badly I want you, I deny how warm your arms are.. truth is I'm scared shitless Blake. You're the one person that makes me feel happy and terrified at the same time, you make me feel all these things and Im scared.."

Blake finished her drink  "You're not the only one." She said softly "two years ago, I met a girl that brought so much light ironic because she swears she dark and twisty..." she paused with chuckle "God she was gorgeous , she was crazy, beautiful, strange and so wonderful. She drove me insane.." her eyes fell on Meredith "She still does, even now two years later...you terrify me Meredith.. there's hardly a thing I wouldn't do for you.."

Meredith snickered before she threw her head back laughing "God we're absolutely ridiculous.." her laughter tapered off "What .. where do we go from here?"

Blake licked her lips "I would like to take you out, on a date. I want to do this properly. I want to wine and dine you..so I guess the question is .. would you allow me to take you out on a date Dr.Grey?"

Meredith's eyes twinkled mischievous"Mm .. that's quite the question.." she chuckled when Blake's expression dropped slightly. She leaned over and pecked her lips softly "I would love to go out on a date with you Dr.Carmichael.." She whispered against Blake's lips.

In the corner of the bar, George's shoulders dropped as he, Alex and Izzy watched the two women in their own world.

Izzy patted his back comfortingly "Meredith has always had feelings for her George.. don't feel bad."

Alex snickered sipping his beer "Yeah no offense Georgie , but you had absolutely no chance. Meredith sees you like an annoying brother. It's weird.."

Izzy smacked Alex "Dammit, can't you be more sensitive ? He's hurting right now."

Alex shrugged it off "He'll get over it, anyway look over there." He pointed to Derek who entered and looked right at Meredith and Blake who were sitting side by side laughing.

Izzy grimaced "Ooh.. Grey's breaking a lot of hearts tonight.."

Alex snorted "Yup, and it looks like neither of them even noticed him, poor guy. I kinda feel sorry for him." He shook his head "Been chasing her and now he lost her to an ex, must be karma or some shit."

Blake leaned against the locker staring at Meredith "You need to stop staring at me, I'm about to get very half naked and you can't look at me like you want to jump my bones Blake."

Blake smirked "I do" she paused "jump your bones, I mean .." she gestured to Meredith's body "You're hot. I forgot how good you look naked.. well almost. Im sure I have a picture somewhere." She said pulling out her phone playfully.

"Oh my god! You told me you lost your phone! How could you?"

Blake hummed tapping her chin "My laptop, I'm sure there's a tape of that week we spent on a yacht too.."She whispered quietly, she leaned closer to Meredith, her eyes flickered down to the older woman's lips "Taking it slow is going to be terribly hard.." she grunted "stop looking so gorgeous." She huffed
