Chapter 3[Part 2

As Meredith walked back into the patient's room, she closed the door behind her. Meredith placed the chart on the table then walked over to Mr. Cruz. "Mr. Cruz, I'm just going to do a couple of tests for you to make sure nothing has changed since last time." Meredith told him as she took out her stethoscope.

"Is he your boyfriend?" Mr. Cruz asked randomly and of course referring to Derek.

That was a bit of a personal question and well Meredith wasn't going to answer that. "No comment." Meredith told him as she put the stethoscope in her ears then helped Mr. Cruz to sit up. She lifted his shirt and placed the stethoscope on his back, listening to him then switch to his chest, continuing to listen.

"I mean you two did kiss." Mr. Cruz added as he looked up at Meredith. "You are a beautiful girl, he's lucky to have you as a girlfriend." He told Meredith with a smirk.

Meredith ignored his first comment about the kiss, she just wrote someone on his chart pretending not to hear him. But heard the second comment. "I never said that he's my boyfriend." Meredith stated as she looked up from the chart. "Let's go get you a catscan then x-ray." Meredith said as she closed the chart then went to get a nurse to help her out.

After Mr. Cruz's catscan and x-ray, Meredith was back in his room with him. "I'll be back later with Doctor Shepherd when we get your labs in." Meredith told him as she left his room with his chart in hand. She went over to the nurses' station and gave Mr. Cruz's chart to the nurse.
