Meredith watched out the window as the the Seattle lights grew further away.
"Where are we going?" she looked at Derek.
"I want to show you something. Trust me I will not hurt you."
She did trust him. It was funny they had only known each other a short time. In that time she had grown to trust and count on his friendship.
"Tell me something about yourself" she realized that she always talked and he always listened. He knew so much about her and yet she knew so little of him.
"What would you like to know?"
"What are you parents like?"
"My mom was dedicated to raising me and my sisters. I was the only son of five kids. My dad was a neurosurgeon. He loved his patients and still had time to be the best dad. He used to take me fishing just to get away from all of the estrogen flying around the house" he laughed.
Meredith liked hearing about his childhood. She smiled realizing that he had a great childhood.
"My dad was killed during a mugging. It was the hardest obstacle my family ever had to climb. We all pulled together and comforted one another."
"I'm sorry about your dad"
Derek shook his head. He didn't want to spend their time together in tears. "I miss him"
"I'm sure you do"
"My sisters picked on me when we were growing up. Now I couldn't imagine my life without them."
"I was the only child. It was pretty lonely around my house. I never knew real family until I met Christina, Izzy, George and Alex. Though I knew that I could count on Richard and Adelle."
"I'm glad you found your friends. We all need to be filled with love and family"
"Yeah"
Derek pulled up to his land. "We are here" he climbed out of the car.
Meredith opened her door. "What is this?" she asked looking around.
"This is my land. That over there is my trailer. I'm not for sure what I will do with all of this land."
"It's beautiful"
Derek reached for her hand. "I want to show you something"
Meredith took his hand "Okay" she smiled.
They walked together to the end of the land. Derek pointed over the hill. "Look"
Meredith looked out to see the city of Seattle. "Wow it's beautiful"
"I love coming out here at night. With all of the lights it makes it look like a giant Christmas Tree" he laughed.
"So you do have a God complex" she laughed.
"Not at all"
Meredith turned around to face him. "I'm sorry that I freaked over the kiss"
"You don't have to apologize"
"Yes I do. I wanted to kiss you that night. After it happened I felt guilty."
"I understand" he ran his fingers down her cheek.
Meredith could feel the electric from his finger tips. It was a feeling unlike anything she had ever experienced. "I haven't stopped thinking about the kiss" she admitted.
"Me neither" he wanted to kiss her now.
Meredith knew that if they were to kiss, she would have to initiate it.
"Kiss me Derek" she spoke the words that she wanted to say all night.
Derek waisted no time pulling her into his arms.
The kiss was everything that she expected. It felt right to be in his arms. She was no longer afraid that she was moving to fast. This was were she belonged. He was the man that could fix her broken heart.
Derek didn't want to let her go. He wanted the kiss to last a lifetime. Afraid that when he let her go she would run away. Instead of letting go he continued the kiss. He knew that in this place with her, was right were he belonged.
The kiss was interrupted by Meredith's cell phone.
"I'm sorry" she whispered as she looked at down at her phone.
"It's Christina" she didn't want to take the call. She wanted to hit the ignore button.
"Hello" she kept her eyes on Derek.
"Slow down Christina"
"Okay I'll be right there" she closed the phone and looked at Derek.
"She needs me" she didn't want to leave. She wanted to stay and talk to him.
"It's okay I understand"
"Are you sure that you understand? She has always been there for me. She wouldn't call unless it was important."
"It's okay I understand"
"Okay"
Derek took her hand and walked back to the car. "Do you regret what happened?" he couldn't let her leave until he knew.
"No I don't" she leaned into him and softly kissed his lips.
"Okay" he smiled and opened the door for her.
The drive back to town was quite. "Tell me what's going on in that mind"
She looked at him. "I think that I am starting to like you."
"The feeling is mutual"
"Can you drop me off at Joe's?"
"Sure I wanted to grab a drink myself"
"Okay"
They pulled into Joe's and he turned off the car.
"Meredith if you start having doubts, will you talk to me?"
"Yes though I don't think there will be any doubts" she wasn't feeling guilty.
"Okay"
"I'll talk to you later" she smiled and opened her car door.
