When they got to her place, they went straight up to her room. Derek got her into bed and then crawled in there with her holding her in his arms. She snuggled up to his chest and quickly fell asleep.
Izzie who had been in the shower, had heard the doors opening and closing. She assumed it was just George and Meredith coming home from work, although they had been a little early. When she didn't find anybody downstairs however she had gone back upstairs and checked the bedrooms. George's was empty. She opened Meredith's door.
"Meredith are you home?" She questioned.
"Ssshh." Derek whispered. "I've just gotten her to sleep."
"What's wrong with her?" Izzie's concern for Meredith won out from her curiosity as to why Derek was lying in bed with her.
"Bad day."
"Oh okay." She wanted to ask more but she didn't want to wake up Meredith. She stood there for a minute looking at Derek, then turned and left.
About an hour later she woke up. Derek had just started dozing off himself when he felt her move in his arms.
"Hey." He smiled at her.
"Hey" She smiled back.
"You okay?"
"I will be."
"You wanna talk about it?"
"Not right now." She looks at him then closes the distance between their lips. A short tender kiss. Their eyes meet again mirroring the longing. His hand cups her face as their lips meet again, this time it's a deeper more passionate kiss. He pushes her on her back and moves over her a little. She moves her hands down to the hem of his shirt and pulls it over his head. Hers follows rather quickly and he starts trailing kisses down her neck and lower onto her chest. Her fingers roam through his hair as she gently presses down on it keeping him close. Her eyes close as she completely gives in to him. How she'd missed this, longed for it.
