A/N : This story was inspired by XOXOJordan's "Summer Nights"
It was summer break, Meredith and Lexies' first time in Seattle, Washington.
They weren't full-blooded sisters, but they had the same dad. Lexies mother, Susan, had taken Meredith in as her own after her mother Ellis had passed.
Meredith was 18, Lexie was 16 but they were very much the same.
Their mother Susan was a professional photographer, so they Grey family was always on trips. The company Susan worked for were constantly sending her away because she way by far one of the best.
Both Grey sisters were graduating this year. Because Lexie had photographic memory, it allowed her to succeed and excel in places where many people her age weren't able to. Even at the age of 16, she managed to get all her credits by taking extra classes and enrolling in online courses. Lexie was always a couple steps ahead of Meredith, but both sisters were extremely smart.
They had become so close since Meredith's moms' passing. Although Lexie was younger, she treated Meredith like her blood and even if she didn't care for her estranged sister at first, they grew on one another and eventually were inseperable.
If one sister did something, the other had to too.
Both were accepted into Harvard Med. due to the fact their dreams consisted of them being surgeons. Meredith was hoping to go into Neurology while Lexie was heading towards Peds.
Instead of renting hotel rooms, Thatcher suggested they rent a vacation home instead.
"Ma, are we there yet?" Lexie asked for what seemed like the millionth time.
"Not yet sweetheart, I'll let you know when."
They had just landed over an hour ago and were heading towards their home for the next month.
After what felt like forever, their SUV was pulling up to a perfect, cozy looking home.
Shaking her sister, Lexie told her "Mer, wake up. We're here"
Meredith groaned for a while before finally sitting up.
"I want you girls to grab your things, pick out your rooms, and them come help us unload the rest of the luggage." Susan told them, looking at her daughters in the rearview mirror.
Nodding their heads, Lexie was the first out of the car and through the door. Running up the stairs, she saw two doors directly across each other.
Opening them, she noticed was painted white and pink, while the other was black and blue. She was always more girly than Meredith so she chose the pink.
Inspecting her room, she noticed she had her very own bathroom. There was a huge jacuzzi tub, a stand up shower, and a marble sink. Everything looked so expensive, she was afraid to touch it.
Her room itself was fairly large. It had a queen bed directly in the middle, in front of a relatively big flat-screen tv. Her closet was a pretty big walk-in, and she had her own desk which was right over the wrap around balcony outside, overlooking the lake.
Everything about it was absolutely breath-taking.
Lexie then remembered that her mother told her and her sister to come back down and help them unload once she chose her room.
Walking out, she noticed Mer was still checking out her room as well. Come to find out, they were the exact same just different colors.
"You like it so far?"
Lexie shrugged. She wasn't very excited for the trip but she knew she had to do it for her mom.
"C'mon, we gotta help mom unpack."
...
Susan ended up cooking dinner later that night.
She was also the first to break the silence.
"So girls, how do you like it so far?"
Once again, Lexie shrugged. "It's alright...for now."
"It's actually really nice, and the scenery is very different from home." Meredith implied.
Their dad was next. "Your mother and I have to go into town tomorrow to pick up a few things, and then we'll be going sightseeing. Unless you two wanna join, what are you plans for tomorrow?"
The sisters gave each other a knowing look, meaning they definitely did not wanna spend tomorrow with their parents.
"Lex and I were planning on going shopping and a little exploring. You know, check out the city..see what it's all about."
Thatcher nodded his head. "Sounds good."
The rest of dinner consisted in small talk and a few jokes.
...
After she showered, Lexie decided to watch tv until she fell asleep.
She heard a light knock on the door.
Walking towards it to open it, she realized it was her sister.
"Mer, you okay?"
"Yeah, just a little lonely y'know." she whispered.
"Why are you whispering, mom and dads' room is downstairs?"
Meredith looked taken aback. "Really? What the hell! I was being quiet this whole time because I thought their bedroom was the one at the end of the hall."
Lexie shooked her head. "That's the extra bathroom, which I don't understand we needed if we both have our own."
"I wonder if Seattle boys are all their knocked up to be?" Meredith wondered aloud.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, Cristina told me that when she and her mom came her a few years ago, they guys were very goodlooking."
Lexie scoffed. "They're probably just whores, all men are."
...
Next Day
After Thatcher and Susan left, Lexie and Meredith decided to walk towards wherever they were heading. The tempature was a little hot, so Lexie thought shorts and a white v-neck would do.
What felt like walking a marathon, they finally got to a shopping center. It was filled with little boutiques and stores that were very satisfying to a teenage girl. There was even a Victoria's Secret which the girls spent hours in.
Once it hit 6, they thought it was best to start their journey back home.
Merediths stomach was growling. "Ugh, I'm so hungry."
Lexie spotted a nearby diner and suggested they eat there.
Carrying five bags each, the girls walked into a somewhat crowded atmosphere.
After being sat down and ordering their food, Meredith was growing rather impatient.
"I'm gonna grab a milkshake, be right back."
As she left Lexie at the table alone, she approached the counter.
"Hi, can I get a chocolate milkshake? You can just put it on the tab for table 3. Thanks."
She sat in the bar stool, totally not recognizing the two guys staring from across the counter.
"Chocolate, huh?" A dark haired, blue eyed man said, approaching her.
"Uhh..yeah. It's my favorite."
The man smirked. "Shucks, I like more a vanilla type of girl. Derek." he told her, extending his hand.
"Meredith."
"So Meredith, what brings you out to Patties to eat?"
She shrugged. "My sister and I were hungry, this was the nearest place."
"Hm..sister you say? How old are you guys?"
"I'm 18 and she's 16. Why does that concern you?"
She had to admit; Derek was very handsome.
"Ooh fiesty, I like that."
"One chocolate milkshake." A server told her, placing it down on the counter.
"Thankyou." she smiled and walked away.
Returning to the table, she was reunited with her sister.
"I texted Dad and told him we were eating and he seemed fine. Just to be home by 9."
As soon as their food came, they dug in and engaged themselves in very entertaining conversations.
Lexie was biting into her salad when she caught her sisters' gaze.
"I saw you talking to that guy earlierc what'd he want?"
Shrugging, she answered honestly.
"Not sure, but he was pretty cute."
"Pretty cute?! Try extremely good-looking!"
Meredith laughed as she and her sister finished their feast.
Absolutely full and stuffed, they paid their bill and began walking home. Not even halfway through the parking lot, they heard a whistle.
"Meredith!"
It was Derek...and some other dude leaning against a truck.
"Derek? What do you want?"
"Is this your sister?" he pointed to Lexie, extending his hand. "Derek, Derek Shepherd."
"Lexie Grey." she smiled politely, shaking his hand.
She's cute, he thought.
At the time, Lexie's hair was long and wavy like Meredith's. Only difference is, Meredith was a dirty blonde while Lexie was brunette.
Not as cute as her sister though.
Turning his gaze back towards Meredith, he asked.
"So where are you folks staying?"
"Why, so you can follow us back and kill us in our sleep?"
The man behind Derek laughed.
Lexie's breath caught in her throat when she looked at him.
He was obviously older than she, with breath-taking blue eyes, a set of dark brown hair, with a little scruff which made him 100xs sexier in Lexie's opinion.
Apparently, Meredith told them where they were staying because Derek then offered to give them a lift back.
"Alright...but only because I'm lazy and don't feel like walking." she told him, climbing into the passengers seat.
Derek looked back at Lexie. "You're not freezing in those shorts, girl?"
It was true. Lexie's shorts were pretty short, but it hugged her ass just perfectly. In fact every pair of shorts or jeans did, but she couldn't help it.
She shook her head.
"Well climb on in, you can sit in the back with my friend here." he told her, nudging his unknown peer.
Hopping in the seat right behind her sister, she immediately felt a pair of eyes staring. She turned her gaze to see the man looking at her.
"Are you sure you're not cold?" he asked. His voice was low and husky, which made him even more attractive.
"Oh no, I'm fine though. Thanks." she smiled at him. He grinned back at her and rolled down the window.
As the car started moving, she noticed her kept glancing back at her.
Derek and Meredith were in their iwn conversation in the front, while it was extremely awkward between the two of them in the back.
"I'm sorry." she told him politely, "but I didn't get your name?"
"Mark." he replied, extending his hand. "Mark Sloan."
