Derek was getting annoyed with himself. He had about 6 hours in a closed space with Meredith, and he barely talked to her.

"You like taking pictures?" a soft voice asked him.

Derek looked up and saw Meredith's face over the seats. He gave her a soft smile "Yeah, it keeps me busy".

"What do you take pictures of?' Meredith asked curiously.

"All different things, I like taking pictures of nature because it's all real, it doesn't hide anything, nothing in nature is trying to impress anyone or anything, and it's not pretending to be something it's not."

Meredith chuckled a little. She noticed Alex got up to talk to Izzie and George so she decided to sit down next to Derek. "I hope you don't mind I just thought since we were talking and all I would just sit here, just so it's easier, if you don't want me here you can just tell me."

"It's fine, I like sitting next to you" Derek was staring at Meredith making her blush

"So, can I uh see your pictures?" Meredith asked sweetly.

"Um…I don't know it's kind of personal." Derek stammered

"Oh come on" Meredith pouted.

Derek couldn't help but think how cute she looked when she pouted. "I don't know" Derek didn't want Meredith to think he was stalking her because he clearly wasn't he just liked the expressions that her eyes showed in the pictures it was like she had one emotion set on her face while her eyes told a totally different story. He liked that she looked so peaceful yet sad at the same time.

Meredith reached over and grabbed the camera out of Derek's hands. She smirked at him "Ha ha I got the camera"

There isn't anyway I could get it back from her so I might as well just watch her and hope she enjoys it. "So do you like the pictures?" Derek asked fearful yet hopeful. "They're beautiful" Meredith replied. "It shows the true beauty of nature."

Meredith didn't get to the pictures of her yet which Derek was happy about.

"Derek?" Meredith asked cautiously.

"Mmm?" Derek replied.

"Why are there pictures of me?"

Damn now I'm really going to get it, Derek thought. "I…um…I wanted to take pictures of you I guess. Your eyes, they tell a different story then your facial expressions do, and they accent your beauty, they came out really well on the camera don't you think?" Derek asked nervously, by the look on her face she wasn't too pleased.

"Oh so you wanted a picture of me to jack off with?" Meredith sneered.

Derek was shocked. "No of course not I…"

Derek didn't get to finish because Meredith cut him off. "Save it, I don't want to hear it" With that Meredith got up and walked away.

She's been doing that a lot lately Derek thought.
