Meredith climbed out of bed. She looked at Derek. She should have stayed away from the tequila. This was a mistake and now they would have this weighing over their heads. He was a married man and she knew better. She pulled the blanket around her.

Derek felt the blankets leave his body. He looked up at Meredith.

"Good morning" he smiled.

"Listen I have an early surgery. You need to leave" she had to get him out of here. She definitely didn't want Izzy to find out.

"We could ride in together" he didn't want to leave.

"No that's not a good idea."

"Why?" he didn't like the sound of her voice.

"Do you want the whole hospital talking?" she knew mouths would be running if they rode in together.

"I have nothing to hide" he laughed.

"Yes you are married. Trust me you don't want this spread around"

"I am separated and she cheated on me."

"So what am I payback?" she yelled.

"Of course not. How could you say that?"

"I don't know what's going on. Please just leave." she had to get some space between them.

"Fine I'll leave." he stood up and grabbed the pants lying on the floor. "This is far from over Meredith Grey. I let you leave once it will not happen again" he put his shirt on.

Meredith didn't know what to say. She stood there listening to him.

He walked over to her. He gently placed a kiss on her cheek. "See you at work" he smiled as he walked out of her bedroom.

Meredith sat down on her bed. She had made a mistake and she knew it would cost her.

Izzy sat at the table waiting for Meredith.

Derek walked into the kitchen. "Good morning" he smiled.

"Hello Dr. Shepherd"

"Derek" he corrected her.

"Derek" she laughed.

He sat down at the table with his cup of coffee.

"So you spent the night with Meredith?" she knew that Christina won.

"Yes" he smiled as he took a drink.

"What are you doing? She hasn't made you leave yet?" Izzy asked.

"I thought I could have some coffee first. Will you talk to her make sure she's alright?" he needed someone to talk some since into her.

"Sure" she smiled.

"Thanks" he took his last drink.

"Let me know?" he asked.

"Yes"

Derek nodded his head before leaving through the kitchen.

Izzy knocked on Meredith's door.

"Care if I come in?" she opened the door. She found Meredith sitting on the bed.

"Hey" she whispered.

Izzy walked over and sat down next to her.

"What's going on?"

"I slept with him" Meredith tried to act like it didn't effect her. She didn't want Izzy to know that her heart was tore in two.

"So how was it?"

"It was great. I have never felt that way before. It's crazy right I have been with a lot of men. None of them have ever made me feel. The way he made me feel" she couldn't shake the feelings that she was experiencing.

"It's called love Mer"

Meredith stood up. She couldn't let this happen. Not now when Derek had lost everything. He needed time to figure out what he wanted in his life.

"I took advantage of him." she felt horrible.

"Seriously" Izzy laughed.

"It's not funny" Meredith couldn't believe her friend was laughing at her.

"I'm sorry it's just I don't think you took advantage. You two have shared this love for so long. It was bound to happen"

"No I should have stopped it. He is broken and he doesn't need this in his life."

"Meredith let him decide what he needs."

"I have to fix this. Somehow I have to make this right"

"Why fix what's not broken. Come on let's go to work" Izzy could see the pain in Meredith's eyes. She hated that she was so tore up over the love she felt for Derek.

"I'll be right down" Meredith walked into the bathroom.

Derek watched as Meredith barked off orders to the interns. He loved watching her in action. She was one of the best surgeons he had ever met.

"Hey" he walked up beside her.

Meredith turned around. She stared into his eyes.

"Hey" she whispered. She looked around worried that the rumors would start to spread. Especially if anyone could tell what she was thinking.

"Stop looking at me like that" she whispered.

"Like what?" he asked.

"Like you have seen me naked."

Derek started to laugh.

"It's not funny" she started to walk away.

Derek ran to catch up with her.

"I'm sorry it's just that. I have seen you naked. I must admit I like you naked" he teased.

Meredith stopped walking and stared at him. "I'm sorry about last night"

"Why?" he was confused. They both wanted it to happen. Hell he had wanted it for so long. It was exactly what he thought it would be.

"I shouldn't have taken advantage of your situation. I know that your all broken. I should have let you talk about Addison. Not seduce you into my bed."

Derek laughed again. "Seriously Meredith you are a funny woman. I wanted it to happen. I don't regret what happened. I enjoyed last night. I think we should do it again. More sex I say" he teased.

"No it has to stop. Last night was a one time deal. We need to keep this professional"

"We could sneak off to your office. That would be professional"

"I have a surgery." she walked away.

"Meredith" he caught up to her.

"What" she turned around.

"Meet me in the lobby at eight"

"Why?"

"I want to show you something. Will you meet me?" he asked.

Meredith knew that she should turn down his offer. "Yes" she smiled and walked away.

Derek watched her walk away. He would prove to her that he was in this. Tonight he would make her see that they deserved a shot. A shot at happiness with one another.

"Seriously she took him home?" George looked defeated.

"I'm sorry George" Izzy didn't like the look in his eyes.

"No it's okay. I knew that we didn't stand a chance. She has never given anyone a chance" he knew her heart belonged to one man.

"She has loved Derek for so long. When he married Addison a part of her died. I think if she gives him a chance they could be happy." Izzy sighed.

"We are talking about Meredith. She's afraid of commitment." George said.

"Well, she lost him once. If she doesn't want to lose him again. She'll leap at the chance with him."

"I won" Christina laughed as she danced around.

"Whatever" Izzy said.

"So did she kick him out this morning?" Christina asked Izzy.

"Yes" Izzy looked at her watch. "I have something to do" she had to talk to Derek.

"Okay see you later" George said.

A/N: Okay so to answer a couple questions Meredith, Izzy, Christina, Alex and George are all attendings. Also I would like to say that this is a Mer/Der story but we will see all character's at some point in this story. Christina is Meredith's person and we will see some interactions with the pair.

Izzy and Alex are dating. George really likes Meredith. Of course her heart has always belonged to Derek. Also when Derek admitted to his feelings in Med School Meredith ran away to Seattle. Derek didn't run away. She was afraid of commitment. Also Ellis will appear in this story.
