A/N: This story is a little Mer/Der story that I created as a Thank you to someone who doesn't want to be named. LOL! The story is mainly from Meredith's POV, but there is some Derek thrown in for good Measure!!!
Summary: What would happen if we got one do over in life?
DO OVER
What would happen if we got one do over in life? What would we use it on? Where would we even begin?
I often think about these things as I sit nursing my morning coffee. I even think about these things when I am eating with my friends in the hospital cafeteria. I especially think about these things when I am lying in bed at night, because I can't sleep. You see my dark and twisty nature prevents me from sleeping like a normal person. I therefore have to wonder what would happen if I got a do over, and what would I choose?
Meredith slowly made her way into OR 3. She knew that he would be there. McDreamy, how often had she thought about him over the past few months? How many times had she agonized over him? How many times had she gotten McDrunk on tequila over McDreamy? I think I have lost count, she thought. What she had decided, however, that now was the time for action. Addison wanted a fight; she was going to get one. I just have to be honest right? She mused. How hard can that be? She slowly inhaled, and pushed the doors open to the scrub room.
He was standing over the sink looking all McDreamy-like when she entered the room. Meredith closed her eyes, and took a deep breathe before she walked over to him with determination in her eyes.
"Derek, I have to talk to you." She said stopping in front of him.
"What is it Meredith?" He asked turning toward her.
"I know I said that it didn't matter to me what happened between you and Addison, but it does," Meredith drew in a deep breath. "I love you Derek, probably more then I should. Probably more then any intern has the right to love her boss, but that changes nothing."
"Mere, I..." He started, but she cut him off by lifting her hand up in protest
"NO! Please don't say anything now. I am asking you to Pick me, choose me, Love me Derek," She emphatically stated. "If you were to reject me now, I could take it." She finally stopped long enough to look at him. He had an amused look in his eye, and he looked like he was doing his level best not to laugh at her.
"I'll be at Joe's after my shift," She said. "If I am the one that you want, you'll be there Derek." With that she turned on her heel, and walked out the door. Derek sighed, and went back to work.
Meredith had been waiting at the bar for awhile now, and Derek had yet to show. He is not going to show up, she thought miserably. The bar was just about to close when the door chime sounded. Meredith turned her head expectantly, not daring to get her hopes again only to have them dashed.
Derek apprehensively walked into the bar. He was running late, and he knew she would be waiting for him. She would probably think that he chose Addison by now. What if she's not there? He shook that thought from his head, and looked around for his Meredith.
She saw him when he walked through the door, but she was in such shock she didn't move a muscle. It was only when Derek came up to stand in front of her did she look into his eyes.
"I pick you Meredith, I choose you, I love you my sweet, lovable, talkative, dark and twisty soul mate. You are the air that I breathe, you are my lifeline and saving grace, you are my everything," He said as he picked her up, and spun her around. Their eyes never left each other, and as their lips met in a searing kiss, their souls were forever bound to the other.
A/N: This story is meant as a one shot for a friend, but if you push that purple button a lot, and tell me you want more, well, then who am I to refuse.
