CHAPTER 4

Derek sat and waited for Meredith's reaction he knew he turned the tables on her and had a pretty good idea what her answer was going to be,but still he figured he would at least try and maybe say yes but he doubted it so now all he could do was wait.

" I uh.. don't know what to say,it's kind of well unexpected." Meredith said blushing as she said it causing Derek to chuckle.

"Well i figure i would ask after all you brought it up the other night." Derek said wryly as Meredith's face flushed even more if it was possible.

"I didn't mean that, i was tired besides it's your fault." Meredith protested and watched as Derek arch a eyebrow.

" Really and how is it my fault,is it my good looks?" he asked suggestively and watched as Meredith flush and roll her eyes.

" Whatever, besides i'm not ready to have a baby right now i'm too young." she lied not wanting to admit she wanted one with him badly.

Derek knew she was lying so he let it go for now "Alright i'll let it go for now,but don't forget it was your idea to have a baby!" he said getting up from the couch and headed towards his bedroom leaving a quiet Meredith to think about what he said.

Was Meredith crazy for turning down Derek? Many women would kill to have his baby,so what was stopping her? She stood up and walked towards the nursery and quietly tiptoed into Chelsea's room and watched her sleep,gently stroking her dark curls Meredith realized that as much as she wanted to be a mother,she wanted to grow up first. Reluctantly moving away from the crib Meredith thought that it might be for the best that if she quit this job,as much as she loved being a nanny it brought to much temptation and right now with things weird between her and Derek it would be best to do so. And with that she walked over towards the dining room table picked up her purse and quietly left Derek's apartment knowing it would be the last time she would ever see the two people she cared about more than anything,and that would hurt the most.

Derek heard the door open and close and wondered if he had lost Meredith for good he admitted that him asking her to have his baby went way beyond the boss employer relationship,but ever since he had heard her the other night the thought of her having his baby was appealing certainly it had nothing to do with the fact he was attracted to her,or was it? Sure Meredith was attractive with her long blonde hair and vibrant green eyes and she was good with his daughter so what was it?. He noticed her when she applied to be Chelsea's nanny but with Addison having just left him Derek was in not in the market for another woman,so he went with his gut and hired Meredith and up until now the working relationship was great,but with her leaving it changed everything. Derek decided that maybe a romantic relationship wouldn't be so bad after all what does he have to lose right? Reaching for his cell phone he dialed Meredith's number and after hearing three rings he was relieved when he heard her "hello?"

Derek cleared his throat before replying "Hey it's me do you have a minute? I have something to ask you." he said and the voice on the other end of the phone went silent.

"Does it have anything to do with Chelsea?" Meredith carefully asked having a feeling on what he was about to ask.

"No actually i uh wanted to see what you are doing on friday night." Derek said nervously.

Meredith was silent her boss wanted to ask her out on a date? Where did that come from? Did he suspect that she planned on quitting?or did he really want to go out with her? She suspected he only asked because he knew she was leaving so she declined.

"Thank you for asking but i'm afraid i have already plans for friday." Meredith lied she had plans to stay home and watch a movie with a bottle of tequila but he didn't need to know that.

"Oh come on wouldn't you want to go out with someone like me i heard i'm pretty good looking." Derek said cockily.

Meredith rolled her eyes " Geez what woman would say yes to that?" she retorted and heard Derek chuckle in the back round.

"Oh come on i'm asking for one date here give a guy a break!." Derek whined and it made him sound like a 8 year old child but he didn't care he wanted to go out with Meredith.

"I am NOT going out with you Derek." Meredith responded firmly.

"You say that now..." he started to say but was interrupted by Meredith who seemed intent on not going out with him "Forget it i'm not going to change my mind and by the way,i quit." and on that note Meredith hung up leaving a very stunned Derek in complete and utter shock.

Derek stared at the phone he couldn't believe that Meredith had just quit on him after all they got along great as a employer and a employee so what else could it be? Was it because he had asked her to have his baby?or was it that she was attracted to him and couldn't work for him anymore? Hmmm... that gave Derek a idea ,he had never done this before with any woman but now he was going to use his good looks to his advantage and seduce Meredith into coming back.

At home now Meredith decided that quitting her job was the smartest thing she had ever done so why did she have this feeling that this wasn't over that Derek would somehow seduce her into going back,well she decided she was not going to go back,no matter what her heart says.

Wow looks like the chase is on will Derek be able to seduce Meredith into going back or will she resist him and not go back? Stay tuned i'll have another chapter up and running soon. I hoped you enjoyed it i had fun writing it so if you would like another chapter within the next couple of days please review and i promise to have it up and running !
