Hi, so here is the second chapter. Hope you enjoy it and don't forget to leave me a comment.

After her meeting with the chief at her new job Meredith could really use a drink. And if a drink included a boy, yeah well she wasn't going to complain.

No Meredith! Tomorrow you are starting at your new job and you need to make a good new impression to your new coworkers and your bosses. So the last thing you need is some boy looking at you like you killed his puppy when you kick him out in the morning.

Even though she was determent to not bring a boy home she could still look hot. So she decided to go home first to get ready.

When Meredith walked out of the hospital entrance, out to the parking lot she noticed a bar across the street. I should check it out. So I know if it is a good place to hang out and get a drink after a hard day at work.

Meredith found her car and took her keys out of her purse and got in behind the wheel.

On the way home, all Meredith could think about was New York and why she left. She still refused to think of his name since it was his fault she had to leave her job and all of her friends. Especially her best friend, Grace. Grace was shocked to hear her best friend and roommate all of the sudden had to move but she understood why.

Meredith must have drove on autopilot because just when she was about to feel homesick she noticed that she was at the driveway of her house or her mother's house since the house stood in Ellis Grey's name.

As Meredith walked in to the house and took of her boots and hung her jacket in the closet by the door, she thought about what she should do about the house. Even though the house stood in her mother's name all of Ellis' things had been signed over to Meredith after her mother got sick so technically the house stood in Meredith's name.

But Meredith decided that tonight would only be about her and her good friend José who had been there for Meredith whenever she needed him.

Since it was still pretty early to go to the bar. Meredith decided to draw herself a relaxing bubble bath.

She walked up the stairs to her bedroom with her on personally bathroom where the bathtub was located. Meredith walked in to the bathroom and turned the water on. She checked the water had the right temperature and purred some bubbles in to the water before she went back to the bedroom and took her clothes off. Meredith walked back in to the bathroom and turned the water off. She sat down in the warm water and decided to take a little nap.

A half hour later, Meredith woke up in the cold water and looked like a raisin. She got up and pulled a towel around herself. Meredith walked in to her room and went over to her dresser to look for some underwear.

Hmm… even though I'm not going to sleep with any one doesn't mean that I have to put some granny underwear on, does it?

She decided to put her black lace panties with the maxing black lace bra on. After she had her underwear on she walked over to her closet to find the dress she wanted. When she found her dress she laid it on the bed while she went back out to the bathroom the brush her teeth and pulled the plug to let the water out from the tub.

After she was done, she went back to her bed and pulled her black dress on. Meredith then walked over to look herself in the mirror. She just quickly pulled a brush through her hair and then applied some mascara since she wasn't a big costumer on make-up. Meredith found her heels and with one last look in the mirror she was off to the bar and get drunk. Okay may by not drunk since she was going to work in the morning. And working with a hangover was not pleasant that she knew for sure.

Meredith walked down the stairs, grabbed her jacket and her purse with the keys and locked the front door.

The drive was short and Meredith decided to park her car on the hospital parking lot and walk over to the bar. Once she was inside she felt like there was someone was watching her but she shrouded it off thinking she was probably just imagining it.

She sat down at the bar and gave the bartender a signal that she would like to order. With a quick glance around the bar she noticed that it wasn't crowded but wasn't empty either.

"Hey, I haven't seen you here before. New in town? " the bartender asked her.

"I moved here last week or you could call it moved back since I grew up in Seattle" Meredith replied.

"Well welcome back then. My name is Joe and I own the bar" Joe held his hand for her to shack.

"Meredith and thank you" Meredith said as she shook his hand.

"So Meredith, what can I get you?"

"A shot of tequila"

"You are going to be sorry in the morning" Joe said as he purred her her drink.

"I am always sorry in the morning" Meredith replied with a grin as she drowned her shot. Meredith gave Joe a signal to purr her another one. And that was how Meredith spent most of her night. Talking to Joe, when there wasn't anyone ordering a drink. They talked about nothing that matter. But Meredith kept getting this feeling like there was someone looking at her all the time. But then Joe asked her something she thought was weird.

"So do you know anyone here?" Joe asked with a smile.

The people Meredith knew in Seattle where not people who would be in a bar on a Sunday night.

"No, why?"

"So you wouldn't know a man in his… let's say mid thirties, good looking with raven colored hair and blue eyes? " Joe asked.

"No should I know a man that looks like that? " Meredith asked with a puzzled look.

"Well there is a man like that, that has been looking at you all night"

"So there has been someone there has been watching me. I knew it! " Meredith exclaimed.

"Where is he?" Meredith asked Joe.

"Over by the door" Joe said discreetly pointing with his head where he was talking about.

"Don't look" Joe exclaimed when he say Meredith was about to turn to see the man himself.

"Okay I won't" Meredith laugh. She really liked Joe. He seemed like a nice man. She was sure he would become a great friend with time. Plus he had tequila so he scored some extra points there.

After another shot Joe gave her a look.

"What's with the look, Joe?"

"Okay you have act like you don't know anything, okay?"

"What are you talking about? "

But before Joe had a chance to say anything she felt a presence beside her. She didn't have to turn to guess who it was. Now she understood what Joe was talking about. The man beside her was the man that had been watching her all night and now he had finally pulled himself together to talk to her.

"So is this a good place to hang out?" the man asked her.

When Meredith turned to look at him she was prepared to see a good looking man since Joe had already told her that but she wasn't prepared to be draw in to the blue ocean his eye's held.

So now we know a little bit of them both. Next chapter we find out what will happen between them. So hang tight and I will try to update soon :)
