Meredith picked up her lugagge and walked to the exit of the airport. As soon as she stepped out and felt the air and summer smell she knew this was exactly what she needed. She had just finished med-school and had exactly a month to decide and reply to one of the hospitals ressidence programs she had been accepted.
That was the main reason why she'd decided to do this trip. She needed to clear her mind and think without her mothers pressure, her daddy isaues and the drama she had been drawn to her entire life. She wasn't precisely sure about it, but somehow, she thought this would definitely be a great place to escape.
She took a taxi to take her to the resort she'd be staying at.
The minute Derek walked into this beautiful resort he felt relief, it was such a peaceful place, and it wasn't far away from the city, Vancouver was great. It was perfect, just what he needed to clear his mind and enjoy some time alone.
Meredith was exhausted, but she felt the need to take a walk amd explore the place, so she took a shower, refreshed, grabbed a book, her bag and went out. As she walked she would stop to just stare and absorb the beauty arround her, some mountains on the background, lakes, green fields with flowers. She the found a little path that guides to a small lake that had small refuges to sit and relax. This spot was definitely the one she had been looking for.
Derek quickly left his luggage in his hotel room and headed for a walk with his headphones on. He was amazed by how big and beautiful this place was. He spotted th small lake and walked straight to it to take a look. Distraught by the music; when he got there he exclaimed "Wow! This is amazing!" He hadn't seen her and Meredith turned around quickly, she was submerged in her book and she got a little scared when she heard a voice.
He looked at her and smiled "I'm so sorry. I didn't know you were there. Didn't mean to scare you" he said as he took off his headphones and put them in his pocket. "Oh, it's alright" she said. "I was just reading a little" She looked at him and smiled back. He's really good looking, she thought to herself. While he kept smiling and staring at her. "May i sit here?" Derek asked. "Sure, why not?". "Are you here on vacation?" He asked her. "Uhm, yes" she replied closing her book as she saw he was trying to start a conversation. "My name is Derek" he said. "Meredith" she replied. "I'm from New York" he told her "Where are you from?". "I'm from Seattle although i grew up in Boston" she said. "Seattle! I've been thinking about going there" Derek said. "Really?" She asked. "Yeah! They have an amazing program at Seattle Grace Hospital and i could be an attending there"
"You're a doctor?!" She asked surprised. "Yes i am. Why? I don't look smart enough to be a doctor?" He teased. "No! I didn't mean it that way" she said "it's just that i'm a doctor too. Just got out of med-school." Meredith said with worry in her look. "You seem worried about it" Derek said hoping he hadn't gone into personal territory too fast. "Well, i'm very happy i finished med-school. It's just that i have to choose a residency program in 4 weeks and i don't know what to do. I mean, i got accepted in Seattle, Boston and LA. But i don't know, Seattle is great and so is Boston but there are so many things I" she stopped "sorry i'm rambling" she said "it's okay, actually it's cute" he said smiling. She smiled back and flushed a little when she saw the way he was looking at her. "It's not an easy choice to make. I'm not sure what i'm gonna do either. It's complicated." he said. "But i guess we'll both figure it out just in time" he smiled and looked back at her with those dreamy eyes. They both looked at each other somehow knowing this subject was tough for both of them. "How long will you be staying here" he asked. "honestly, i don't know! most likely two weeks" said Meredith, "all i know is i love it here and it's so peaceful and beautiful" " it is" said Derek. They stayed talking about their lives, asking each other where they had gone to college and some other random and medical stuff for a while, until they both saw it was getting late and decided to call it a night and head back to their rooms.
That night, Meredith lay on her bed thinking about this sweet cute guy she met. She liked him, a lot. Derek went to sleep remembering their conversation and how real and beautiful she was. There was something about her that really got him. They both went to sleep thinking to see each other again the next day.
