Aria walked to Meredith after she finished rounding on Mark's patients. He was busy with Sloan as something had come up with the baby he had left Aria in charge of his patients. He had claimed she was the only competent resident and the only person he trusted with his service.

The two stood watching the interaction between Alex and Reed. "What are they talking about?" Aria questioned watching her boyfriend closely while Meredith looked at her sister.

"She wants surgery in return for taking him for a drink and maybe more." Meredith said causing Aria to look at her with wide eyes.

"I'm going to kill the pair of them." Aria said letting the jealousy get the better of her as she was about to walk over before Meredith grasped her.

"Wait a moment." Meredith warned before they continued to watch the interaction between the two of them.

"I don't even let my own girlfriend in on my surgeries and I get to go for a drink or whatever else with her whenever I please." Alex smirked in response before walking away while Aria stood proudly.

The twins watched the exchange between Percy and Reed before she turned looking at the twins. Aria stood waving with a sarcastic grin placed upon her lips. Reed scoffed before walking away from the twins. "Percy definitely has a thing for her." Meredith muttered while Aria chuckled lightly.

"Even that guy could do better. She needs to keep her distance from Alex she starting to press on my nerves." Aria admitted while Meredith looked at Aria.

"She's been doing that since the merger." Meredith reminded her sister who looked at her slightly taken back.

"You've been talking to Lexie haven't you?" Aria questioned while Meredith shrugged slightly causing Aria to scoff lightly.

"Jealousy doesn't look good on you sister." Meredith laughed before walking away as Aria looked at her

"Everything looks good on me." She shouted after her sister catching glances from the nurses who were close to her. Aria proceeded to whisper curses towards her sister before heading to check on her next patient.

Meredith saw Alex filling out paperwork as she walked towards him. "What's the deal with you and Reed?" Meredith asked trying to act in her sister's best interest.

"Nothing." Alex responded quickly looking at his friend with a slight disapproving glance.

"She's not trying to trade you surgeries for sex?" Meredith claimed while Alex scowled slightly.

"No and if she is then it's not going to work. If you trying to accuse me of something then don't. The only person I'm having sex with is your sister and it will remain that way . So don't be making out like I'm doing something I'm not." Alex explained looking at Meredith slightly betrayed by her claim.

"I know you're not. I'm just trying to protect my sister and I know you and you wouldn't do that to her. But it's Reed that's the problem if she doesn't stop flirting with you I think Aria might actually hit her. And we both know what Aria gets like when she's angry we don't want to know what she's like when she's jealous." Meredith warned lightening the mood slightly as Alex looked at her. He smirked slightly at the idea of Aria being jealous of other flirting with him.

Meredith hadn't tried to accuse Alex of anything she was just trying to work out why Reed kept trying to get with him. She knew Alex loves Aria possibly as much as she did. And he was very protective of Aria and wouldn't do anything intentionally that would hurt her.

"I'll deal with it." He told Meredith who nodded in response before looking at him again.

"I wasn't accusing you of anything I know you love her and you wouldn't hurt her." Meredith said while Alex nodded in appreciation for her explanation before Meredith headed back to find Derek.

Aria walked in to the gallery as Cristina was performing a solo surgery as she looked at the patient who was crashing. "This is crazy." Reed exclaimed as the residents watched on.

"Why isn't she helping her?" Meredith said watching her best friend closely while Altman sat by waiting for Cristina to act.

"How's it going?" Owen asks walking in looking down at Cristina before Alex open his big mouth which causes Aria to roll her eyes.

"Yang's killing her patient. And Altman is reading the Atlantic monthly. " Alex says before Aria smacks the back of his head while he looks not noticing she had entered the gallery. Owen had already matched off before Aria could open her mouth.

"She doesn't need help this is like Yang's entire knowledge. I bet you 30 bucks she does it without Altman helping." Aria claimed looking at her boyfriend who smirked at her games.

"Your on 30 bucks says Altman has to take over." Alex says pecking her lips as he pulled down beside him while Reed watched the two of them slightly.

"You aren't seriously betting on her?" Meredith exclaimed to the couple watching Cristina closely.

"Like she wouldn't do the exact same thing." Aria chuckled looking at her sister who knew she was right. "Just like I told you. I believe that will be 30 Bucks you owe me Dr Karev." Aria taunted looking at her boyfriend who rolled his eyes at her. Aria landed forward placing her lips against Alex's as he quickly responded by pulling her closer.

"You two are gross." Reed mumbled before walking out of the gallery while Aria looked after her. Meredith smirked at her sister to which aria quickly returned with a subtle wink which didn't go unnoticed by Alex.

Aria lay facing Alex with eyes closed as he lay messing with her hair. "You know Meredith went almost full Grey on me earlier." Alex murmured causing Aria to chuckle slightly.

"What did she do?" Aria mumbled keeping her eyes shut finding comfort in his touch as she leaned closer to him.

"Warning me about how you're jealous of Reed making moves on me. And basically telling me to trying to see what her deal was." Alex said smirking while Aria opened her eyes slightly.

"I'm not jealous of that I just don't see why she keeps trying to flirt with you and have sex with you when you have a girlfriend. And so she should you're getting too comfortable someone should be keeping you on your toes." Aria grumbled while Alex smiled at her letting out a soft chuckle.

"You keep me on my toes enough for a lifetime. And Reed can try all she wants nothing is ever going to happen." Alex mumbled before Aria leaned up pressing her lips against his.

"I know because you're all mine." Aria said glaring slightly at him before Alex leaned over with a smirk.

"Only yours." He mumbled before leaning down pressing his lips against hers as Aria kissed him back hungrily.
