Now or Never ➼ Mark Sloan

𝗜 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀 𝗛𝗶𝗺 (𝗜 𝗟𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗦𝗼 𝗠𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗡𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗱)

Bella knew how Mark was in LA with Addison. She was missing him more than she thought possible. She knew that there was nothing she could do.

She felt broken knowing how they had broken up. And she wanted nothing more than to get him back. She had been staying in her room at Grace's house. It was hard for her to be back there.

Grace and Derek were in the bedroom. Grace had told him how Richard Webber had a drinking problem. Derek wanted to report him.

"No!"

"Yes!"

Grace shook her head. She looked over to him. "No. If you report him..."

Derek rolled his eyes and sighed. "He's an alcoholic!" He yelled.

"If you report him, it'll be the end of his career. You don't give people any room. Flaws are unacceptable to McDreamy," Grace said as she brushed her hair.

"Don't "mcdreamy" me."

Grace rolled her eyes and shrugged. "McDreamy is being McJackass."

"He is an alcoholic. How long has he been drinking? Since the holidays?" Derek asked as he looked to her.

"What, do you want to take notes so you can show it to the board so they can offer you his job on the spot? You want his job. You know it and I know it!"

Derek rolled his eyes. "I'm the head of neurosurgery. I have a responsibility to this hospital."

Grace rolled her eyes as she looked to him. "Admit you want to be chief!"

Derek shook his head. "All right. You know what? I'm done having this argument. I'm going to the board. I'm reporting Richard," he said as he turned to walk out.

"Wedding vows!"

Derek turned back to her. "You can't call my vows to you," he told her.

Grace shrugged as she looked to him. "I am calling vows. because I told my secret about my friend to my husband ... Not the head of neurosurgery, my husband... Which I have to be able to do. So the laws of your promise clearly prevail," she said.

"This is wrong."

Vows."

"The chief-."

"Vows."

Derek groaned. "Fine. I won't tell. Fine. Damn it. You just make me want to," he said as he walked over to her. He grabbed her hips and pulled her close.

Their lips met in a heated and passionate kiss. Grace pushed him onto the bed and straddled him. Before things could go further, their pagers went off.

Grace walked into Bella's bedroom. She knew how hard Bella had been taking the breakup. She smiled. "Hey. Are you okay?" She asked.

Bella shook her head. She sat up and Grace saw how she had on Mark's Yankee's jumper. "This feels worse than when he cheated on me. Why did I have to do this? Why am I such an idiot," she mumbled.
