Sorry that this chapter is late guys! More drama is on the way though. :)

Chapter 13

"I think I'm in love with Meredith Grey."

"Pardon me?" I stuttered.

"Meredith…" He threw back yet another drink. "I'm...I'm in love with the...the chief."

Oh hell no.

"I...I'm sorry, I'm telling my boss about how I'm in love with his boss...I should stop…" he mumbled.

"Yes. You should." I massaged the back of my neck with my hand and traded my drink for a water and a granola bar since I would be back on call soon.

"I...I have a shift...Goodbye, Doctor O'Malley."

He didn't reply, but took another gulp of his drink just as I walked off, wondering if there were any men in the hospital that aren't in love with my...whatever Maredith is…

I quickly climbed the stairs straightening my scrubs, and stopped outside Mer's door with a quiet knock.

"Hey! I thought I wasn't going to get to see you until we leave for the conference…"

"Well, some surgeries came up and I've got some stuff to supervise with the new interns, so I thought I'd come by. I can go ahead downstairs if you're swamped…"

"No, you're...okay…" She looked distracted by something on her computer screen for a moment, but seemingly shook it off to sit next to me on the small grey office couch. "Hi."

"Hi," She smiled and leaned into my shoulder.

"Mer how long has it been since you slept?"

"Stop being my dad, Derek." She muttered.

"We both know I am definitely not your dad."

she laughed.

"Meredith…" I replied, my tone deaf serious.

"Too long."

"Mer, you have to sleep."

She giggled and scooted closer, looking up at me from lying flat on my lap.

"I didn't mean on me!" I said, but couldn't help laughing.

"Fine then. I won't sleep." She wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled my lips to hers with a malicious grin. "Mer…"

"What? You said don't sleep on top of you, well this isn't sleeping…."

"You drive me crazy, Meredith Grey."

-MEANWHILE, AT JOE'S-

"George, you really shouldn't be telling me this...that's my boss you're talking about…"

George O'Malley remained in his seat at Joe's seemingly unphased by the fact that he'd confessed his love for Meredith twice tonight, to 2 of his superiors.

"I told you...I'm in love with her…and you know what...I'm going to tell her. Tonight."

"That's a horrible idea...in my professional and personal opinion."

"I don't care." Tonight, George and his liquid courage were determined to tell Meredith exactly how he felt.

He dodged a few bikes crossing the street, and entered the hospital, noticing Meredith had clocked in awhile ago, and was probably in her office now. So, he tried his best to wipe the alcohol out of himself, tapping his foot anxiously as the elevator slowly rose.

This is it. No going back. He smiled confidently, stopping at her office door, not bothering to knock…

I told you...I think you all know what's coming. Also just a thought- should I start posting my chapters regularly? Please let me know... bye;)
