("With You" by: Jessica Simpson)

AU Meredith Grey moves to her home town after she finishes her Internship in LA.

I'm beginning to enjoy Seattle. When I first decided to move here, I thought that I would hate it. I mean my relationship with my mother wasn't what you would call a great close relationship. Growing up I only depended on me, myself, and I. But from that first moment that I saw him, I knew that this is the man that I want to share my life with. I think about the night at the ball. Seattle is my home now because he is my home.

After the ball, Derek drove me home and helped me out of the car and to my front door.

/Flash back/

Derek was a little nervous about walking Meredith to the door. He wasn't use to dating. Being a doctor and working eighteen hours a day for six days a week doesn't leave too much for a social life. Most of the time on his days off he would go to the store or the movies and would get hit on by some pretty woman but he never gave in because he knew that it would be unfair to her with him at the hospital all the time. But being with Meredith was different. He was able to see her everyday at the hospital so he could spend time with each other.

"Well I guess I'll see you tomorrow at work?" Derek said, holding both of her hands in his.

"Of course."

They both stood there for a while deciding if they should kiss goodnight. Derek decided at that moment that e could resist any longer and leaned down toward her lips but never went all the way. Derek was scared that he might scare her away from him because he was to forward so decided she could decide if she wanted to kiss him or not. Meredith took the hit and moved the rest of the way to his lips.

Their first kiss was full of passion and sparks. It was like fireworks were exploding around them, and they were the only two in the world. Everything and everybody else had fated away.

When they couldn't breathe any more they slowly pulled away but left their foreheads touching.

"Wow" Was all Derek could say.

"You're telling me"

They stood there for sometime just being near each other. Then Derek knew that they had to get to work early so started to pull away. "I'll see you tomorrow at work".

"Okay"

Derek started to walk back to his car but turned back and pulled Meredith into another kiss. He pulled away and started back to his car.

Meredith then looked back at him then turned to unlock the front door.

"Meredith?"

Meredith turned to see Derek standing behind is open door. "Yes"

"Would you like to have lunch with me tomorrow at work?"

"Of course I will"

Derek smiled then got into his car and drove away.

/End Flash back/

Meredith drove to the hospital with a smile on her face. She turned on the radio and heard a song that reminded her of how Derek made her feel.

/The real me is a Southern girl
With her Levi's on and an open heart
Wish I could save the world
Like I was Supergirl
The real me used to laugh all night
Lying in the grass, just talking 'bout love
But lately I've been jaded
Life got so complicated

I start thinking about it
Almost forgot what it was like
To know when it feels right

But with you
I can let my hair down
I can say anything crazy
I know you'll catch me right before I hit the ground
With nothing but a T-shirt on
I never felt so beautiful
Baby, as I do now
Now that I'm with you

With you
With you
With you
Now that I'm with you

You speak and it's like a song
And just like that, all my walls come down
It's like a private joke
Just meant for us to know
I relate to you naturally
Everybody else just fades away
Sometimes it's hard to breathe
Just knowing you found me

'Cause I start thinking about it
I almost forgot what it was like
To know when love feels right

'Cause with you
I can let my hair down
I can say anything crazy
I know you'll catch me right before I hit the ground
With nothing but a T-shirt on
I never felt so beautiful
Baby, as I do now
Now that I'm with you

With you
With you
With you

Come and take me
Love you, save me
Like nobody else
Now I can be myself with you

I can let my hair down
I can say anything crazy
I know you'll catch me right before I hit the ground
With nothing but a T-shirt on
I never felt so beautiful
Baby, as I do now
Now that I'm with you

I can let my hair down
I can say anything crazy
I know you'll catch me right before I hit the ground
With nothing but a T-shirt on
I never felt so beautiful
Baby, as I do now
Now that I'm with you/

Meredith pulled into the parking lot at the hospital and walked to the doctor's locker room. On her locker she found that Derek had already been there.

Hey beautiful,

Just wanted to say that I had a great time last night at the ball.

Meet me in the food court at noon.

Derek

Meredith smiled and placed the note into her bag. Just then the rest of the doctors walked in to get ready for the day.

"Hey Meredith" Christina and Izzie said at the same time.

"Morning" Meredith greeted back.

"So did you and Mc Dreamy get it on last night since your mom was out of town?" Christina asked seating on the beach next to her. Izzie gave her a weird look at her. "Christina. That is none of your business."

"What? They looked very cozy last night before they left so I just want to know if I'm going to have to make excuses to Dr. Ellis Grey to keep her away so they can get it on." Christina smiled then finished getting dressed.

"Christina, I just met the guy."

"So?"

"So, I don't want to rush."

"We'll see."

They left the locker room and started their day.
