Chapter 10
He was panting and sweating and gasping. Not only is he being followed by guards but the girl he loves is around somewhere in a huge place in the name of the airport. Only now did he appreciate the size of it. He looked side by side looking for the ones running after him and when he saw none, he approached a receptionist.
"Excuse me Ms" he greeted to the lady
"Yes, sir? How may I help you?" she asked politely
"How do you know the flight of a person you are looking for?"
"You'd have to call her sir. Although we do track the passengers we have, we cannot disclose this kind of information due to privacy policy. Why sir, if may I ask?"
He felt like his hope was being drained out of him once again. How was he supposed to call her? She probably despises him because of his non-McDreamy ass like, jerk face behaviour.
"The woman that I love, you see, is leaving. And when she does, I am not going to be able to find her. And I cannot just let her slip through my fingers just like that. She's too precious" he said that melted the heart of the lady
"You know what sir, if her flight hasn't gone yet, there may be a way" she said which ignited Derek
"Really? Tell me!" he said excitement and hopefulness present in his voice.
"It goes this way…"
Meredith is hoping. She's hoping that maybe Derek would magically appear beside her and stop her from going. But maybe that is just for hoping since he's not around. She let out a barely audible sigh which Dean caught.
"Everything will be alright" she assured her which she only scoffed to in return.
She detests him. She wants to stop since what he's doing is for her but she just can't. He's like the schism between her and Derek. The great canyon that separates the star crossed lovers, that is.
She was on the verge of giving up. Ready to try that forgetting and moving on crap when her wish practically came true.
"Meredith Grey, if you are still here, I want to tell you something" the voice boomed from the speaker, filling in the entire airport.
This is it. The only way that he can find Meredith and stop her from flying who knows where is this. He's got to thank the staff and that lady receptionist a lot. He nodded to the radio operator and they turned the microphone on.
"Meredith Grey, if you are still here, I want to tell you something" he said which the entire airport heard.
And he continued …
"I've been a jerk to you. A McAss and not a McDreamy. I blamed you for the circumstances that are beyond your control. I shouted at you, I got mad at you. I accused you of the things you didn't do and practically pushed you away. No, not pushed, shoved. You probably loathe me right now because of the douche-ness mess that I made but I can't let you go without knowing this. I love you. For the short time that we've been together, I fell so damn hard for you. Two months ago, if people told me that I'd be starting an all-out airport mad dash chase for a girl, I would've laughed, but with you it's not like that. With you, I am willing to go all Eros, willing to defy Aphrodite for Psyche and all. You make me complete. I know I sound like a total cheesy doofus but it's true. You are like the sunshine that lights my way, the rain that invigorates me after a long drought and the air that keeps me thriving. My world was Grey before you, and opposite to your name, you filled it with rainbows. Thinking of not being with you I can see a world where the sky is only half a blue and I realized that I'm only going to be half a man without you. You are my hope in a world where honesty has lost its meaning and the fresh air for the drowning man that is me. I would understand if you just continue to board your plane and forget the rest of us but bottom-line of everything that I'm saying here is that I love you. And I'm not ready to let go of what we have." He finished and sighed
And he heard something he didn't quite expect
"Good, cause I'm not ready to let go of us too" the sweet feminine voice he's come to love said. He slowly turned his head around and saw her. Not thinking of anything and acting only on impulse, he dashed. He strode the 5 feet that separates them with just two steps and he crushed her in his embrace full of unsaid words which she reciprocated with equal action to his reaction.
Maybe they are possible. Maybe this is the part of their Point Forever…
They were walking out the airport holding hands with the gruff looking Dean when Derek remembered something.
"Mer?"
"Hmm?"
"I love you"
"I Love You too"
They stared at each other's eyes, lost in a world that rattle their brains and only theirs, until Dean coughed.
"Let's go people, we don't have to attract more attention than we have to" he sort of scolded them which they only shrugged off.
Hopefully the peace would last for a little longer.
