Chapter 4 Shaken to the Core
Derek just looked at Meredith with a confused look on his face. When Cristina came back she was shocked at what was going on in the small hospital room.
She saw Meredith and Derek on Derek's bed, kissing. She cleared her throat and they looked up. Meredith with a guilty look on her face and Derek smirking.
"Here are Meredith's pain meds, I'll… um… leave you two alone." She turned and ran out of the room.
Meredith took the meds and got back on top of Derek and started to kiss him again. Derek was surprised that she was not afraid that he would break. He then proceeded to rub her back very gently.
She smiled up at him. She knew that he knew she was in pain. One look said it all, he was in pain too.
"Am I hurting you?" she asked him nervously.
"Not really, you are making the pain go away." He said with a smile, knowing if he told her the truth she would freak out and apologize forever.
"Derek Sheppard, you are lying, I know you. Now how do you really feel? Tell the truth or I will get Cristina in here and she'll make you answer."
"OK, you are hurting me a smidge bit, but nothing that I can't handle." He said coyly. He reached up and kissed her and this time, she did not stop him. But then, Richard walked into the room.
He cleared his throat loudly enough so the nurse walking by stopped to look. Meredith got off Derek's bed, embarrassed to be caught for the second time that day.
"Sorry, sir." She mumbled obviously embarrassed. "That is no problem Meredith, and don't call me sir." Derek said. She shot him an annoyed look. "I was not talking to you mister! I was talking to my boss." She said in that fake mad tone she knew he found funny.
Richard said in reply to that, shocked them both and promised to turn their worlds upside down for the second time that day.
