ROMAN ROMANCE

Warning: A friend of mine just told me that sometimes parts or even whole sentences are missing in the story. I checked and indeed, sometimes there are parts missing so the sentences aren't logical any more. I'll try to revise it as soon as possible!

Thanks for reading and review please!

Enjoy!

It was her first day at work.

Normal people would go to their boss, tell him how very pleased they are to start their new work here and how hard they will work, then the boss would introduce them to their co-workers and then the secretary of the boss would guide you your desk and computer.

One of the coworkers would give you your tasks and then you would work silent and concentrated on your assignment.

That's what would probably happen to you if you would be a normal person and would have your normal first day at your work in your normal life.

But Meredith Grey was anything but normal.

Grown up with Ellis Grey, a world-known surgeon and Gregory Grey, one of the best violin-players in the whole country and former racing-cycle-worldchampion, you are supposed to be extraordinary.

Meredith was taught by a private teacher and sent to one of the best colleges in the country.

She had to study abroad for some years and her mother insisted that she knew at least five different languages.

She always wanted her only daughter to be special, and because Meredith had the skills to be extraordinary, Ellis insisted she should get the best education possible.

Meredith herself didn't really have a choice, but it wasn't too difficult for her because she learned very fast and had some very special skills.

At the age of 6 her dad discovered that Meredith had inherited his absolute pitch, which was something very rare.

Along with that, her IQ was inordinately high for her age and she was able to play on her fathers violin without ever gotten thaught how to do it.

Gregory loved to watch his little girl play, but tragically he couldn't enjoy his live with his child very long, because an acute case of ALL afflicted him. Gregory Grey died in the same year the leukemia was prognosticated.

Ellis was devastated and the only two things which mattered in her life from now on was surgery and the education of her daughter.

So as lucky as Meredith seemed to be to the outside world with all her beauty and abilities, she turned into a quiet, distrustful, sometimes shy person because all the people around her only attended her outragious skills and never her insides.

Ellis herself only minded her daughter's progress and never talked to her like a mother.

Meredith never experienced safety or love from her, her mother only raised her to be an extraordinairy person, not a warm human being.

Luckily Meredith had made some very good friends and didn't turn into some spoiled bitch because of her mother's money, but she never really got over the loss of her father.

After his horrifying accident, he wasn't able to cycle any more.

That was a huge shock for him, because cycling was his world and he was one of the best.

Luckily he got over it with a lot of strenght and found happiness again with starting again his youth-hobby, playing violin.

Because of his absolute pitch he became very good very soon and so he had found another great thing in life he was happy with.

Somewhere in between his career he married Ellis and then they got his baby-girl Meredith.

He always loved to play with her and watch her cycle.

Meredith also seemed to love cycling and so she spent a lot of time with her father until he died.

Meredith once was a very happy, laughing girl, but now to other people she tended to seem kind of arrogant, extremely confident and cold, but if you would be able to see her inside, you would see a scared young woman who never got to live a properly childhood again after her father's death and always was exspected to be the best by her mother.

Only her very best friends knew how scared she was to not fulfill the exspactations of others or to disappoint people.

So she built up her own wall to protect herself from the others.

With that strategy she was very successfull in her course of study,so her mother decided to send her into politics.

So it came, the beautiful, smart young woman got to be next minister for women and women's rights in Italy.

She had finished her political science and law study in Rome and was immediately voted for the Italian parliament.

With her ability to assert herself and her caring emancipated manners she got the job as the minister and was so the first and only woman in Italy's political scene.

And today was her first day at work.

„What again do I have to do first?" Meredith rolled her eyes and a frown appeared on her flawless face.

„ Well, you'll have to go in, they will lead you to the big assembling hall, where you will be officially envisaged by the prime minister and then you have to deliver your „Oh,thanks a lot, I love you all"- suck-up-speech. When you are done, some secretary will show you your office and the whole male staff will drool over you since you are the first official female minister. Any more questions?"

„Ugh, why am I doing this again, Cristina?" Meredith looked at her sceptically.

„Because your mommy said so. Come on, Mer. Countless women would kill for this you have to do is a little politics and stuff, me on the other side, I have to sew blabbering little children and wipe up people's vomit."

„But you can do what you want to do and don't have to represent Italy's women to the whole world."

„We've been over this 'll do just as great as you always do. And I thought you really like politics?"

„I do, I do, it's just.." Meredith sighed.

„Hey, we all know you will totally rock this parliament today. You'll kick these suck-up's asses, I'm sure. You're a fighter, Mer."

„I.." ...

„Mrs. Grey, Mrs. Yang, we are here." The driver's voice interrupted the two young women's conversation.

„Oh my god, we are here already. So I really have to do this now ." Meredith panicked slightly.

„Mer, calm down!You'll do great.I am so sorry.." Cristina nervously watched her watch and frowned .."but I really have to go now, I'm already late, and that's not what you want to be on your first day at work so..I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, okay?"

„ Ok. Good luck to you too."

„Oh, I don't need your luck, I'm Cristina Yang, but thanks anyway."Cristina smirked.

Meredith grinned. Cristina's sharp sarcasm always made her laugh.

„So, I'll better go in there and show them some women's power, right?!"

„That's my look who's coming, the whole brigade in their perfect designer suits and flawless hair!" Cristina said as she saw the prime minister and two other guys walking towards them.

„Oh my gooood. How do I look?My hair..?!"

„Your hair's great Mer, as akways. Don't worry, you'll totally kick their perfect formed asses. Your mom would be proud."

„I highly doubt that." Meredith frowned.

„Well, at last your father would be, Mer."

At the mention of her father Meredith's eyes got a wet shimmer.

„Yeah.. yeah, he probably would be."

„I'm sure, Mer. Okay, I'll go now. Meet me afterwards?" She said and turned to the waiting car.

„I will. Cristina..?"

Cristina turned around again. „Yeah?"

„Thanks for coming."

„Always, Mer. See you later." She smiled.

„Bye." Meredith answered and finally fully turned to the approaching men.

„Ok, let the fun begin." She thought and walked towards them with a confident smile on her face.
