Disclaimer: I don't own Grey's, Patrick Dempsey, Ellen Pompeo. I do, however, own up to the fact that I am a lazy lameass loser. Sorry for the delay.

This fic is finished and I will hopefully post daily.

Thank you for your patience and for reading.

"Okay, as you know I am Dr. Meredith Grey. I have been appointed by my father…"

"Step father." Addison corrected haughtily.

Meredith fixed her stare on Addison and blinked once.

"As I was saying, I was appointed by my father to oversee the transition from the previous owners to Webber Consolidations. I intend to make this as seamless as possible. From the information I gathered from Cristina, all of you are adequate at your job so I see no reason to get rid of you…yet." She amended looking at Addison.

"Cristina?" Addison asked.

"Dr. Yang." She informed.

"Oh. I never knew her first name." Addison shrugged.

"More like you didn't bother to learn it." Meredith corrected harshly. She abhorred snobbery and Addison was full of it.

"Semantics." Addison said, waving her perfectly manicured hand in dismissal.

Meredith glared at her.

"Now, as I am a Neurosurgery fellow, I will be working very closely with Derek." She paused, fixing her gaze on him. "May I call you Derek when I am not under you?" She asked, emphasizing under. Looking at him did delicious things to her girl parts.

Derek cleared his throat.

"Oh um…yeah of course Dr. Grey." He agreed, shifting uncomfortably in his chair.

"Please call me Meredith." She offered.

"Well, Meredith, as the Head of Plastics, I would like you to be aware of the fact that my department brings in more revenue than all of the other departments." Mark said, smiling seductively. He was gorgeous and would be a wondermous lay however the whole STD issue turned her off. She liked her vajayjay way too much to let it rot off because of a manwhore.

"It is Dr. Grey." She corrected him.

He looked confused.

"You just told Derek to call you…"

"Yes, Derek can call me Meredith, as can Dr. Hunt and Dr. Bailey, you and Montgomery however will call me Dr. Grey."

"And why is that?" Addison asked.

"Because you are a bitch and Markie here is in a superficial occupation designed to make woman feel bad enough about themselves to seek out elective surgery to make someone love them." She said smiling sarcastically at the redhead.

"You can't talk to me like that." Addison said.

"Actually I can and if you don't like it you can be assured that you can resign at anytime, no notice needed." Meredith said, her voice low and deadly.

Mark smiled.

"May I call you Grey?" He asked respectively.

Meredith smiled.

"Yes you may. And thank you for taking that like a man instead of an insolent child." She commended him.

"I would like to get together at least once a week to go over any concerns you might have regarding patients or fellow surgeons or the suits upstairs who are blowing smoke up their asses as we speak. If you can't make the appointment due to surgery just get with me when you can. Does anyone have any questions?" She asked, concluding the meeting.

Everyone shook their heads. Addison still looked mutinous.

"Okay then, you are excused. Derek, do you mind staying for a moment so we can work out my surgery schedule?" She asked.

"Sure." He said slowly looking into her emerald irises and swallowing again. She somehow had the ability to make his saliva glands work overtime.

"Great!" She said, smiling brightly and stealing his breath away.

He vaguely felt Addison pull on his arm in warning and he pulled his arm away slowly. He patted at her arm.

"I will see you at lunch Addie." He said, dismissing her.

If steam could have actually came from her ears, it would've, Meredith thought stifling a laugh. Derek would be putty in her hands.

Addison threw a warning look at Meredith, her blue eyes flashing with fire before stalking out after everyone and slamming the door.

Derek looked at Meredith.

"Sorry about that. Addie can be…" He trailed off.

"Spoiled, snobby, bitchy?" She supplied.

"I was actually going to go for forceful but okay…" He said, smiling slightly.

"You should see her clearer than anyone. You are together, am I correct on that?" She asked, hopping on her desk and leaning forward to where he could look down her sweater.

"Um…uh…well you see…yes…no…" He hesitated as he looked at her.

"Well, which is it?" She smiled.

Derek shook his head trying to clear it. She made him all…foggy and hazy.

"Yes." He said decisively. "We are together and we are going to live with each other in the near future."

Meredith looked at him for a long silent moment. Too bad, she thought regretfully. She didn't go after anyone's man, no matter how bitchy the woman was. They were slightly committed and as fun as sex could be with him, she was no home wrecker.

"Hope that works out for you." She said, her voice strained.

"Thank you."

His eyes met hers, green clashing with blue, his own eyes regretful. Interesting.

"Well, I am looking forward to working with you Derek. Word is you are the shit in the surgical world. I can't wait to see you in action. Do you mind if I scrub in with you tomorrow?" She asked excitedly.

"That would be fine Dr…Meredith. I would like the chance to observe you as well. Is that all?" Derek asked, rising to his feet, his hands shaking slightly. Oh god, she hoped he didn't have a tremor. She opted not to say anything to him just yet. She would observe him in the OR tomorrow and decide if there was cause to worry.

"Yeah…no…When I am on your service, you are the boss. Don't worry about me trying to pull rank or think if you correct me it will affect our working relationship. You are the attending and I am the student when I am in that OR. The rest…well the rest we will play by ear." She said, emphatically.

Derek looked at her in amazement.

"I think that is more than fair Meredith and I appreciate that. It would be very difficult to teach you if you were on a power trip."

"Oh…I am on a power trip alright just not enough of one to mess with my career. Administratively speaking…all bets are off." She laughed.

He was…dazzled. That is the only word he could think of in that moment. Her laugh was the most beautiful thing he had ever heard. It was throaty and sweet all wrapped up into one little package. She was a dichotomy…she was almost impossible to figure out in one meeting. It could take months to get to know what makes her tick. That didn't sound altogether horrible to him. Addie would have a difference of opinion he was sure.

Addie…

He looked at her and smiled.

"Well, I will be seeing you tomorrow. I scrub in at 8am…don't be late Dr. Grey." He said professionally.

She noticed his change of manner and responded accordingly.

"Yes sir. I will be on time." She said with a mock salute.

Derek nodded and left without a backward glance, though it took every fiber of his being to do so. What was it about her that made him forget all of his senses and his responsibilites.

He was with Addison. He loved Addison.

Right?
