April 2006
Derek was awakened by somebody humming. Without opening his eyes he knew that it had to be Meredith. There was one thing he couldn't understand. He was a hard-working surgeon. A resident. Getting up at times some people couldn't even imagine. And still. Meredith insisted upon waking him up at ungodly hours like 9 o'clock in the morning. He couldn't believe that he thought at one point by staying at his families home he would be able to have the time to sleep in.
Meredith waking him had almost become something like a ritual. Since she was usually up before him, she tended to visit him when he was still sleeping. So his mother sended her up to wake him herself. At first he had been pretty pissed at her. But by now he was almost disturbed if he didn't wake up with her voice in his ear.
He felt his bed shift and new that she must have sat down on it.
"Wake up sleepy head."
Her voice was close to his ear and he could feel her breath tickling his skin. For a second he imagined how close she must be, her lips almost pressing against him.
Her voice had a little sing sang to it as she whispered again.
"Get up. It's morning already and the sun is bright and shiny." He breathed in her scent. The lavender from her hair and the little bit of Meredith. He knew by the tone of her voice that she was probably smiling. Knowing that he was awake already. Fake-groaning he streched out his right arm and grabbed her quickly, flipping her over.
She yelped as she landed with a soft noise and started giggling as he pinned her down playfully.
"It is not nice to wake a sleeping man up, you know?"
She giggled a little bit more and raised her hand to touch his face softly.
"Very true..." She flashed him his prettiest smile while her thumb wandered across his lips but broke then into a full grin.
"... thats why I decided it would be alright to wake you!"
He felt himself gaping at her. Altought he wasn't sure if it was because of her thumb or her audacity. But there was definitly a gape.
She pushed him gently off her and gave him a wink.
"Get up now. There are things to do. And stuff to learn. And anatomy is not part of it."
He grabbed her arm and pulled her back down to him. She smiled expectantly, as if she waited for something.
"But anatomy is fun. And there are so many ways of teaching you. And secondly, why do you wanna be a doctor. I'm a doctor already. You're beautiful. You don't need to skills. You don't even need to know how to read. Just be pretty. I'm gonna take care of you."
This time she actually smacked him. Damn her! Violent woman.
"It's not like you are always gonna be there. So I'll need skills. And I want skills."
There seemed to be something like a frown on her face, but it was gone within a second. Derek wasn't even sure he had seen it.
"Of course I'm always gonna be there. We're should I go?"
She got up and walked over to the window where she was able to look down at her mothers house.
"Your father asked me to tell you that he wants you to meet the daugher of one of his colleagues tonight. Sydney. Very pretty as I heard."
He shook his head, showing her that he didn't quit understand her meaning.
"Derek. On day you will be married. You will have a wife. And kids. And a pretty house. And Mrs. Derek Shephard won't like it if you spend all your waking hours making sure that your skillles childhood friend has everything she needs, because you decided that being pretty was enough for her."
Marriage. It seemed to be so far for him. He didn't even grasp WHY he should marry. He liked his life. He liked that he could decided to sleep at his families home whenever he choosed to so he could be woken up by Meredith. He liked that he was free to decide what to do. Whenever he choosed to.
Unfortunatly his father had other plans. Plans that implied him becoming Chief of Surgery. And him being married, since it seemed to be a requirement for becoming Chief.
He flashed her a smile. The one she once called dreamy and got up to stand next to her.
"Well... I won't marry before you. And there will never be a guy good enough for you. I can't imagine anyone I would allow marrying you. So you will never marry. And I will never marry. So nobody will interfere with me taking care of you."
He meant it. At this moment he meant it. While he already didn't like the thought of her marrying some random guy, he hated the thought what a marriage would imply. That she wouldn't be able anymore to take care of him
She shot him another grin.
"Lucky for me then that this isn't your call right? Anyways, you are supposed to meet this girl tonight AND to be nice to her. She is going to be a doctor too, by the way. So you shouldn't have any problems connecting with her. At least not at some points."
She walked over to his desk and started opening some books.
"And till you have to go, you can help me developing skills that I will actually need later in life."
He signed in defeat and cocked an eye brow at her.
"But before that... break fast?"
