The next day, Meredith's parents insisted that she should meet her future 'step-family'. She had felt a little better about after talking Derek, but she still dreaded meeting her future family because then it would make all this real. She silently cursed herself for being as emotional about this as she was as she felt tears welling her eyes. She knew that this would make her parents happy and she wanted nothing more than for her parents to be happy, but she couldn't help but feel bad for not wanting this for them. Her mind couldn't help but wander to the events that had occurred yesterday.
"Hi, My name is Derek Shepard." he said offering his hand. "Meredith Grey." She said smiling as she shook his hand.
"What time is it?" She asked suddenly aware of the outside world.
"Ummm…7ish…" He replied still enchanted by her beautiful emerald eyes.
"Shit! I need to get home…" She suddenly exclaimed as she started running home.
"Hey…Wait…" He yelled as he saw her stop and turn around to face him. He ran up to catch up to her.
"Is there anyway I can contact you?" He asked shyly afraid of her reply.
"Ummm…you have your phone?" She asked. He shuffled through his pocket as he found his phone and put it in her hand. She punched a couple of numbers as he heard 'Sexy Back' ringing. He raised his eyebrow at her.
"What? I like Justin Timberlake. Is that a crime or something?" She said defensively.
"Hey I didn't say anything." He said. He chuckledas her face slowly turned to a beat red.
"Crap! Now my mom is so going to kill me! Goodbye Derek Shepard." She said as she ran off waving a goodbye to her.
"Goodbye Meredith Grey." He yelled to her waving even though it was obvious she couldn't see it.
"Thank you for making my crappy day." He whispered softly as he slowly returned to reality suddenly very aware of the impending problems of having a step-family.
"Crap…Now I'm late for dinner!" He yelled to no one in particular before sprinting home.
She played with her phone as she toyed with the idea of giving him a call. She finally decided that maybe talking to someone would probably make her feel a little better. She pressed the green button as the ringing tone meant the call went through successfully. After a few rings his voicemail came on.
"Hello. This is Derek Shepard. If you're Mark then no, I will not go out on a double date with you and that new girl you met. I don't care if she can't date unless her sister is dating someone. I have a girlfriend!"
With a 'thump' Meredith's phone hit the ground as tears streamed done her face. Of course he had a girlfriend. How could she be so stupid to believe that he was actually a decent guy?
"Or at least I did until you ran her off with all your talk of my days as your wingman! And if you aren't Mark then please ignore the aforementioned and please leave a message after the tone. And I'll get to you ASAP!"
Those last few sentences before the 'beep' unheard to Meredith who had tears streaming down her face as she closed her eyes trying hard to sleep before her dreaded meeting with 'them'.
