Owen wasn't stupid.He knew that Teddy was hurt by his admission.He loved Cristina and maybe if she had told him before how she felt,then maybe he wold be with her but she had chosen to keep it to herself until Owen was involved with another woman.Owen couldn't blame her for not telling him when they were in Iraq but he did wonder what posessed Teddy to tell him now how she felt about him.Especially when Teddy knew that he was involved with someone else.
Owen pulled his navy blue scrub top over his head,ready to begin the day. The last six weeks had beem full of surprises and Owen was ready to begin the new year on a high note and that included not making Teddy feel like crap for not expressing her feelings sooner.

Teddy had the day off yesterday, so she'd gone shopping. Since she had come home, she'd barely shop, but now that she was getting into the swing of things, she was back to her New York City girl groove. Today she walked in wearing one of her new outfits. A black D&G suit with blue suade Christian Louboutin heels. She was never the superficial kind, but since Owen wasn't interested, she figured she'd throw her frustrations away with a little Retail Therapy.
She walked in with her black Channel glasses on before she pushed them up on her head. Her make up was completely done and she had a venti Starbucks cup of hot chocolate in her hand. She smelled like gardenias thanks to her new and expensive perfume. She saw some residents staring her down, and with a smirk, she greeted them. "Doctors." She said before leaving. She got to the elevator and there she was met with none other than Owen Hunt. Her knees weakened and her pulse began to raise. God, this man is impossible. He makes me so nervous without even looking at me. Teddy thought before she sighed. Oh, Addison is going to have a field day with this reaction. Once again she thought to herself before she rolled her eyes at herself. Just then she noticed that they weren't moving. He'd made her so nervous that she'd even forgotten what floor she was going to. "You could have said something, you know?" Teddy complained before leaning around him to press the button to her floor while not on purpose giving him a whiff of her flower scent.

Owen had patients to check on so he was in the elevator heading up to see them.When Teddy walked into the elevator a wave of guilt rushed over him. He felt badly.She had pourted out her heart to him and all he had said was that he was in love with another woman.He had had feelings for Teddy for quite awhile but he never got the idea that she was interested in him so he moved on.Meeting Cristina had been unexpected and yet thrilling.When he caught a whiff of Teddy's perfume,Owen knew that she was just doing that for his benefit.When she spoke,Owen sighed"I should have,but I didn't get even the slightest clue that you were interested."Owen pointed out as he leaned against the elevator rail.

Teddy looked at Owen and smiled. "I wasn't talking about that, but now that you mentioned it, I couldn't. You were engaged. I wasn't about to go tell you that I was in love with you when you were supposed to marry someone else. You know that's not me. The thing you should have mentioned though was that I hadn't pressed my floor number. And that's what I was talking about." Teddy said.

When Teddy spoke,Owen looked at her confusedly,but when he picked it out,Owen realized what had happened.She had not pressed her floor number.So that was why the elevator wasn't moving.Owen looked at her,not wanting to admit that her perfume scent had distracted him.Owen chose not to mention that she hadn't pressed her floor number.He wanted to get to the matter at hand"You know I ended it with Beth.Why did you keep it to yourself?"Owen pointed out. He had ended things with Beth for a multitude of reasons.

"I thought you needed time to grieve your relationship. And by then, I was with Ryan. I wasn't going to break up with him over nothing. He was very sweet and kind and I'd like to think I loved him. I just wasn't in love with him." Teddy admitted.

Owen hadn't needed time to grieve.He had been the one to pull the plug on the relationship so he really had no reason to need to grieve.Knowing that Teddy was no longer available was hard for him though. He had fallen for her and by the time he was free,she wasn't"Ryan was never the one for you and you knew it."Owen replied quietly. Owen knew that at the time,he belonged with Teddy even if she was too consumed with Ryan to notice that.

"Beth wasn't for you either. And you're wrong. I didn't know about you and Beth breaking up. I found out on my first day here. Mark Sloan told me during lunch, remember? We were at the table with Callie, Dr. Robbins, and Mark. Mark told me you had broken up with her and then you called Dr. Yang by her name and that's when I knew." Teddy said.

Owen needed to remind his colleague to keep his gossiping mouth shut.From what Owen had seen Mark Sloan had a mouth for gossip and Owen was not happy about that. He should have been the one to tell Teddy that he and Beth had broken up"I should have been the one to tell you that Beth and I broke up.You shouldn't have heard it from Sloan."Owen told her with a sigh.He hadn't meant to use Cristina's first name.It had simply slipped out of his mouth.

"Like I said, it's ok. I'm going to enjoy the many ways of making you make it up to me." Teddy genuinely smiled at him. The elevator dinged and Teddy looked up. "My floor." She said. She adjusted her briefcase on her shoulder and sighed. Another day of work, another day that patients would live because of her. "Have a good day, Owen." Teddy said with a smile. Said smile was too flirty to be just friendly, but it wasn't as over the top to be considered full blown flirtatiousness.

No it was not okay. Owen wanted to go yell at the plastic surgeon for telling Teddy something that Owen should have told her.When she walked out of the elevator,Owen decided to follow her.He had a little more time before he had to be anywhere. There wasn't much in the way out tramua cases today.He caught that smile and he was very thankful that Cristina didn't happen to see that smile that boardered on flirtateous"You aren't trying to get rid of me are you?"Owen asked as he followed Teddy out of the elevator.

Teddy laughed and shook her head. "Me? No, never." She said playfully. "This is actually my floor and I was being polite and wishing you a good day." Teddy said matter of factly. She loved this playful, flirty banter between them. "Besides, why would I want to get rid of you?" Teddy asked as she ran her tongue over her upper lip. It was sort of like a tick. She'd get flirty, nervous or frustrated and she'd do that. It was sort of like her thing.

Owen was slipping into dangerous territory. He really needed to be careful and watch what he said or did so it wasn't misunderstood as flirting. He did have this playful flirty banter with Teddy and as much as he loved Cristina,he didn't want to get rid of it.He had known and trusted Teddy longer than he had known and trusted Cristina.Watching Teddy run her tongue along her upper lip,made Owen smile"Can I interest you in lunch later?"Owen asked. He wanted to catch up more with his old friend.

"Only if it's in a group. I don't want your girlfriend to be a pain in my behind courtesy of a jealous fit." Teddy accepted his offer, with a condition. Her New York girl wit was quickly finding it's way back into her life. Although she was a better person now, after the war, she still had that witty air about her.

Owen nodded.He wasn't sure how jealous Cristina could get but he wasn't about to try to find out.Something told Owen that Cristina could get jealous.Maybe not easily,but she could. Especially now that she knew how Teddy felt about her"You,me,Sloan,Torres and Robbins again?"Owen offered as he looked at Teddy. That was who it had been the last time.
