A/N : Hey guys! Just wanted to say thanks for reading this! It's my first one and I would love reviews
Meredith stepped into Christina's house and was shocked. It was extremely messy on one side of the house, and on the other, fairly clean. She saw a tall blonde in the kitchen baking brownies and a shorter, dark haired guy in the living room fixing some sort of remote control.
"Izzie, George, this is Meredith. She just moved into the neighborhood", Christina announced.
Izzie barely looked up from her cooking, but George on the other hand seemed mesmerized. He stared at Meredith for a long time, mumbled some sort of hello, and fumbled around with the remote control some more.
"Well look Christina, this was really nice of you but it looks like I came at a bad time. I should get back to unpacking and settling in", Meredith said.
"Yea that's fine. There is an monthly neighborhood dinner this Friday if you're interested."
"Oh that sounds great"
"And you'll get to meet McDreamy", Izzie yelled from the kitchen.
"Um… ok? I'm looking forward to it."
Meredith left the house with a smile on her face. She had a feeling that she would like this neighborhood. She started to unpack some things starting with her bedroom. She unwrapped picture frames from her boxes and came across one that made her stop what she was doing.
It was a picture of her and her old boyfriend Finn. Finn was always such a great guy to Meredith. He made her laugh and was there for her constantly, yet she wasn't in love with him, and in the end, the relationship ended. However, there was something about that picture that made Meredith melt, and she couldn't gather the courage to get rid of it.
After another hour of unpacking, Meredith felt her stomach growl and decided to walk to town and grab something to eat. She went and changed her sweaty clothes into something more flattering. She decided on a pair of faded jeans and fitting black v-neck shirt. It was nice enough outside for no coat, and the rain had stopped. As she left her house and walked to the end of the neighborhood, she stopped at a gorgeous house. The outside looked like a dream, with a huge wrap-around driveway and beautiful flowers in the garden. It reminded her of the houses she would read about when she was little in fairy tales.
She kept walking until she found what looked like a little restaurant/bar. She went in, sat at the bar, and a man named Joe introduced himself.
"Hi, I'm Joe and I'm the owner here. Are you new to the area?"
"Yes actually I am. Is it that obvious?"
"Ha, no… I just haven't seen your pretty face here. I'll give it 10 minutes before the boys start flocking around you."
"Well in that case Joe, I'll have a shot of tequila."
"Coming right up!"
Meredith and Joe continued to talk for another few minutes when a man sat down next to Meredith.
"Well hello there, my name is Mark, could I buy you a drink?"
"Well Mark, I've already had 3 shots, I don't think another one could hurt."
Mark was very attractive indeed. He had a confidence about him that Meredith was slightly attracted to.
"Has anyone ever told you how gorgeous you are…"
"Meredith, my name is Meredith", she finished. "And yes actually, I have been told once or twice that I am gorgeous."
"Could I persuade you to go out on a date with me gorgeous Meredith?"
Meredith thought about it. I came to this town to start fresh and not to get serious with anyone…
"I'd love to."
