Sorry for the delay – work and school kept me busy but without further ado here it is...Enjoy!
Meredith loved her friends, she really did. She was very grateful for them and to have them in her life. She always knew that she could count on them no matter what for anything.
Meredith and Cristina had a very special relationship. They could always count on each other no matter what and they never held back anything from what they were thinking to how they felt. People sometimes thought that they were a little strange because of their 'bond' because they often talked and even though it seemed like they weren't listening to one another they always had a solution to help each other. They were best friends or as they called it each others 'person'.
Cristina was the type of person who didn't hold back about how she felt. She was 'blunt', if she liked you she told you and if she didn't you knew from the moment she met you. She didn't hold back her feelings and found that sometimes honestly was the best policy.
Surprisingly enough Cristina worked in the fashion department at the Post. When people heard, they were shocked but Cristina was in her words 'damn good at her job'. She knew what looked good and what didn't and knew how to tell people what she thought of their choices.
When Meredith told her what had happened with Jeff, Cristina didn't hold back in telling Meredith what she thought about him. She even offered Meredith to have his car destroyed in which Meredith laugh; until she told her she wasn't kidding.
Cristina hated Jeff for what he did to Meredith and showed no remorse for the guy. She didn't shadow her feeling for him and vowed that if she ever saw him again or heard him things wouldn't be pretty.
Because of her feeling about Jeff, Meredith was a little nervous to tell Cristina about their 'impromptu' run in. So when she arrived at work the next morning-changed into a blue and white Oscar de la Renta dress with a pair of black platform pumps she was ready and armed with Starbucks and baked goods.
"Nice dress. Oscar de la Renta?" Cristina asked her as she arrived and walked in union with her as they proceeded to Meredith's office.
"Thanks, yes it is. Donna Karen?" She replies then looks at her green dress
"Yes."
They continue walking till they get to Meredith's office where Cristina makes a bee line to the couch and relaxes. Meredith places the coffee and food on the coffee table and sits down next to her.
"How'd the date go with Derek last night?" Cristina asked her as she reached for her coffee
"Ummm...ok."
"Just ok? Jeez Mer, when you told me that you and Derek had plans to go out, you were thrilled. Now it's 'ummm...ok'." Cristina said mimicking her
"Well, our night didn't go as planned unfortunately." She replied as she took a sip of her coffee
"What happened? What did he do? Do you want me to kick his ass, because I will." Cristina asked
"No, no Derek didn't do anything so don't worry about threatening him. He didn't do anything." Meredith replied softly
"Ok, but something did happen last night right? You look all sad and mopey"
Taking a deep breath she says "Ok, but you have to promise you will not go all cage fighter and freak out on me."
Cristina rolls her eyes and says "Ok, I promise."
"We saw Jeff last night." Meredith said quietly while picking at her muffin. "He was at the restaurant too."
"You're joking." Cristina says then Meredith looks at her and gives her a face "You're not joking."
"Nope. Believe me I wish I was, but that's not the only thing that happened."
"What else?" Cristina asks her
"He was there with his wife, the woman who he cheated on me with – and they have a 3 year old daughter."
"Seriously? He married her? And they have a daughter...wait 3 years old that means..."
"That she was already pregnant when I caught them together." Meredith says interrupting her
"Wha...so what happened?"
"Dinner was cancelled. After seeing them together I just couldn't be around people and Derek understood, so we just got burgers and fries and I got a bottle of Tequila" Meredith told her taking a deep breath "And got a little drunk" she continues admitting.
"Mer, what...you know he's not worth it."
"I know he's not worth it ok, but seeing him again after all these years; I wasn't expecting that nor was I expecting to see him with the woman that he freaking cheated on me with. And you know what the worst part was? I was trying to think if I could blame her as well but I couldn't even do that because she was lied to as well! Who does that, who lies and just...who does that?" Meredith rambles in frustration and anger as she starts to pace up and down her office
"Mer..."
"And Derek was amazing last night, he didn't complain at all about anything that happened. He's such an amazing guy, such a sweet guy. But..."
"But what?" Cristina asks her
"He asked me something that sorta took me off hand and I don't really know what to think."
"What did he ask you?" Cristina asked
Meredith stopped pacing and went over to the couch and sat down. She put her face in her hands and said "He asked me if I still had feeling for Jeff."
"Well do you?" Cristina asked her
"No, of course not."
"Are you sure?" Cristina asks her
"What? Why are you asking me 'If I'm sure' Cristina? Of course I don't still have feelings for him."
"Mer, look...you know I'm on your side I always am. I mean, I hate the guy for what he did to you, but you did end things with him so fast. You just cut him out of your life, you didn't really even have the chance to yell at him or tell him off for being an ass and cheating on you...so no one would blame you if you still had some feelings for him. I'm not saying you're still in love with him but if you did still have somewhat love him or still have any kind of feeling for him..."
"Cristina, come on you know I don'..."
"You know I'm right. It would be ok, no one is judging you here ok, we all want you to be happy and it seems like Derek really likes and cares about you and it seems like he sees and wants a future with you and he obviously asked you for a reason."
"Look I get what you're saying I really do. But I do not have any feeling for Jeff ok? I'm over him." Meredith says firmly
Cristina goes to open her mouth when her phone vibrates. She picks it up and says "Look Mer, just please think about what I said ok? I have to go deal with some idiots up stairs." As she gets up and leaves Meredith to think about what she said.
So Meredith and Cristina talked in which Cristina asked her a very important question; does she still has feelings for Jeff and well Meredith denied she it... Comments make me happy – so don't be shy!
