Chapter Seven
When the shift was over, Derek met Meredith outside the intern's locker room. "I still owe you a steak dinner and a bottle of wine." He said as he pushed away from the wall and walked the short distance to her offering his hand out to her to take. Meredith smiled then took his hand.
"Led the way Dr. Shepherd" They walked out the door and saw George near her car.
"Hey George." Meredith said as she walked over to him.
"You ready to leave?"
"Actually you can drive my car home because I'm going to talk with Derek."
George looked over and saw Derek standing over by his car with her door open waiting for her.
"Be careful Mer. I don't want to see you get hurt."
"Thank you George. I'll be fine." Meredith gave him a peak on his cheek before leaving him and walking back to Derek.
George watched as she climbed back into the car and Derek closing her door then running to the other side of the car and got in and drove away.
'I hope your right Mer.' He thought before driving her car back to the house.
Derek took Meredith to a nice sit down restaurant. They ordered their food and then Meredith decided to get Derek to talk more about his past.
"Derek I know you wanted to keep Addison in the past but what happened? What caused you to split up?"
Derek was hastened at first but knew he had to tell her about his past.
"We met in our internship. We were friends at first then it started to get more serious and we started to date about two years from ending our internship. After our internship was over, we decided to get married. We got jobs at the same hospital as one another; we had a great marriage. Then about a year into our marriage Addison becomes pregnant. She never told me that she was with child; she knew that I would be excited and would want to keep it. Addison aborted the baby."
Derek stopped looked at Meredith for a moment then continued.
"I found the paper work a few weeks after. I confronted her about it and she changed. Addison started to get distanced from me. Months later I came home from work and found her in our bed with Mark my best friend."
"Oh, Derek I'm so sorry. You don't have to tell me anymore."
"No I need to get it all out."
"After that I moved here for the open position and stated the divorce papers. Addison didn't want to sign them at first, but I think she got use to the fact that we were over and signed the papers. I'm just waiting for it to be finalized. I can't believe that she is in Seattle and in the same hospital as we are."
"Don't let her get to you."
"I love you"
"I know"
Beep…Beep…Beep…Beep Meredith rolled over and hit the sleep button on her alarm button. Looking over she saw Derek asleep on his side facing her.
Meredith's voice over
The old saying 'everything happens for a reason' is true. Derek and I broke up so my guess the reason is for the very good make up sex. I guess the other old saying 'the best part is making up' and boy how we made up. But later I will find out that the make up sex wasn't the reason. The high powers had a very funny since of humor...You'll see what I mean.
