Only You

Chapter 12

People say sparks or the chemistry or even the connection was supposed to be magical if you have feelings for someone. Well the feelings I had for Mark were, some what undecided. Yes I definitely was attracted to him but that was purely based on how he looked like. Those feelings were shared with the rest of the popultaion of NYC's females. I barely knew the guy and he asked me out. Yes I felt totally grateful when he helped me with the creep from the club. Also he did tell me he was glad I showed up. Then again I never really thought of what that meant. Does that mean he really did notice me before? Not as just the doctor from the hospital?

All those thoughts were coursing through my brain when he asked me. "I know you're thinking that we hardly know each other, but I would love to get to know you if you would give me a chance." he said taking his jacket in his hand and gathered the rest of his stuff. "Yes I guess so. When?"

It was set for this Saturday at a cozy Italian restaurant. He told me he would be picking me up at 7. After he left, I picked up the phone and started to dial Leah's number. Midway, I put the phone back down and decided to call her after I was done with work or rather when I reached home. I texted Beth and Allie to come over to our loft and to bring some clothes cause they wouldn't want to leave without knowing all the details and we would disect every word that Mark had said, and they had work tomorrow.

I headed to the OR prep room and braced for myself for another few hours of surgery. Hopefully a certain someone wouldn't be on my mind distracting me. 3 hours later I was done. It was a tricky procedure and my team managed to nail it. I decided it was finally time to socialize with them. To try to change their perception of my so called bitch-ness.

"Hey guys I was wondering if i could take you out for a round of beers after work. They were obviously shocked at what I had suggested.

"Are you sure you want to? Don't you have better things to do then hang out with us?" Sheila the older lady asked.

"Well, it's up to you guys. I just wanted to be nice cause im pretty sure you guys got caught up in the idea that im some kind of competitive bitch. If you thought about it, all of us were competitive. But I never thought I'd end up being friendless in this hospital.

"In that case, I'll glady follow you babe." one of the guys winked at me. I couldn't help but laugh. " Alright, those who want to come along with Charlie and me, meet us outside in 15 minutes and we can get a cab and head to the Leaky Cantinaa."

"I have a car so you I can take all of you guys." another guy named Richard voiced up. I smiled and shook my head in appreciation. We disperseed and when I came outside, all 4 of them were there and RIchard was there waiting in his suave Mercedes GLK.

The ride to the bar was surprisingly nice. It was good to know that I wasn't what they expected me to be. Even the girls were warming up. When we reached we sat a square table that easily fitted all of us and I ordered us a round of beers. I wasn't usually a beer drinker but on occasions, it was fine.

"So Izzie.. seeing anyone lately?" Richard asked and all eyes were suddenly focused on me.

"Yea, we heard Mark brought you coffee today. What was that about?!" one of the girls asked me. All of them went OOOHHHH.

"Ummm well it's nothing really. Yet." I smiled while sipping my beer again.

"OMG you're totally going out with him!!" the other two yelled in unision.
