One Thing
Chapter 4 Getting to Know Each Other
1 Week Later
Izzie was surrounded in boxes. She had just moved in a couple days ago and only her necessities were unpacked. She glanced around the room at the boxes she had yet to unpack. She sighed and flopped down on her bed. She hated unpacking especially on her day off. She had been working at the hospital for the past 5 days. The hours were long and she barely got any sleep. She sighed again in frustration as she ripped open a box.
George walked past Izzie's room, when he heard her sigh. He peeked his head in, "Need any help?"
Izzie glanced around the room embarrassed. It was a mess. She hated to ask for help. "Umm... If it wouldn't be any trouble."
"No of course not. I'd be happy to help." George said.
Izzie smiled in appreciation. "Thank you."
George walked into her room, careful not to knock any boxes over. "So, where do you want me to start?"
Izzie pointed to a few boxes by her dresser. "You could start with those."
George walked over and began unpacking. After a while, the boxes began to disappear.
"You do have quite a lot of kitchen stuff." George noticed.
"Oh, yeah. I love to bake. It's kinda like my hobby. Whenever I get free time, I bake. So I hope you guys like muffins, they're my specialty." Izzie said smiling as she ripped open another box. She liked talking to George. It was easy, no weirdness.
"I love muffins. We usually have to buy them from the store, though. Meredith trys, but lets just say she's not the best cook in the world." Just as George said that, Meredith peeked her head in the room.
"I heard that." Meredith said with a smirk.
"What I meant was..." George stammered as he tried to figure out what to say. Izzie giggled enjoying watching George squirm.
"It's alright. It's the truth. I can't bake a cake to save my life, but I guess that's why I became a surgeon not a baker." Meredith said finding it amusing George was so embarrassed. She could tell he liked Izzie.
"Hey, Izzie let me take those boxes down to the kitchen." Meredith said noticing the many boxes labeled kitchen.
"Thanks Meredith, that would be great." Izzie smiled greatfuly.
"Wow, you really must love to bake." Meredith said as she picked up a box.
Izzie blushed, "Yeah, I love it. I'm lucky I have high metabolism, otherwise I'd probably be 300 pounds. My room mates in college used to complain about my baking making them fat."
"Well, we're fine with you baking. Usually we buy our sweets from the store." said Meredith as she headed to the door with box in her arms.
"Hey, Meredith where's Alex today?" Izzie asked. She was curious. He had been hanging around her a lot the past few days and they had another date tonight.
"Oh, he works today. He'll be back soon." Meredith said noticing the quick wave of jealously that flashed over George's face. She just shook her head before heading out the door.
There was silence for a while in the room as Izzie and George continued unpacking.
"Okay, I've also noticed you have an over abudance of cleaning products." George said after he opened a box filled with almost every kind of cleaner imaginable.
Izzie laughed, "Yes, I'm kinda an obsessive cleaner too."
"Really, what else don't I know about you? You're not a spy are you?" George asked jokingly.
"Well I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you." Izzie said in her most serious tone before giggling. "I've always wanted to say that."
George grinned as he ripped open another box. She was so cute.
"So, we've been talking a lot about me. How about you? Tell me a little bit more about you George."
"Well, there isn't much to tell." George said shrugging.
"Well, why did you become a doctor?" Izzie asked.
"I wanted to save lives." George said.
"Me too." Izzie said.
After a small silence Izzie asked, "So, if you don't mind me asking how did you and Alex become friends?"
"Oh, well we met when we were interns. At first we didn't get along. We even got into a fight at one point." George began.
"Really?" Izzie said concerned.
"Yeah, it was over something stupid." George said really not wanting to go into detail on the nurse Olivia fiasco.
"Then one day we got trapped in an elevator with a patient who was shot. We had to work together to save his life." George said smiling at the memory, while George had done most the work that day, having Alex there did help him a lot.
"So, from then on, you were friends?" asked Izzie.
"Yep, pretty much. We still have our disagreements here and there, but he's my best friend." George said truly meaning it.
Izzie smiled. It was sweet hearing George talk about his friendship with Alex.
They finished up the unpacking in silence. After they were finished, they both stood up. "Thanks so much for your help George." Izzie said.
"You're welcome."
"I hope I didn't ruin your day off." Izzie said.
"No not at all. It was nice getting to know you better." George said. Izzie smiled. "You too." They met each other's eyes and for a moment George thought she might like him just as much as he liked her.
The moment was broken by Alex walking in.
"Hey Izzie, ready for our date?" Alex asked.
"Oh, right. Let me just go get changed and we can go." Izzie said glancing at George quickly. "Thanks again for your help." She said before heading to the bathroom.
"So, what have you been up to today buddy?" asked Alex.
"Not much. Just helped Izzie out a little. Have fun on your date." George said quickly before leaving the room.
He went into his room and closed the door, then leaned against it. He really liked this girl. He was in deep and he knew it.
