"All done sir?"

Derek nodded, "I think so. Mer, do you want anything else?"

"Nope, I'm good." she smiled back at him.

She had been doing that recently, or at least all night. She kept doing the smiling thing. She knew Derek wouldn't mind, he probably liked the smiling thing because he would always smile back.

"Here you are." the waitor said, as Derek signed it quickly.

"Thank you." Meredith smiled.

"Anytime." Derek replied as they both walked out of the restaurant. "It's a nice night out, do you want to take a walk?"

"Sure." she nodded feeling Dereks arm make its way around her waist.

She wasn't expecting this. The nervousness and the butterflies in the stomach, she was expecting. But it was the calmness of it all, the joy, the happiness she felt constantly. That she never would have expected. She figured this first date would definitely not have gone this wonderfully.

She leaned against his chest as they walked down the sidewalk and continued talking. The talking was always nice, she loved talking to him and she was grateful that there was no more awkwardness. They could just be themseleves in front of one another.

It was amazing to think that this was how it could've been back then instead of it being 17 years since the last time she'd seen him.

"Hmm.." she sighed, the smile still not fading from her lips.

"Cold?" he asked, tightening his grip from around her waist.

It was warm outside but there was a strong breeze. "No I'm..I'm good."

"You're good?" he smiled.

"Really good." she breathed, looking up at him, "I had a really good time."

"Well," he sighed dramatically, "I am excellent dinner company."

She giggled, hitting his side gently as she rolled her eyes, "Oh Derek."

He laughed along side with her as a comfortable silence fell amongst them again.

"It's amazing." Meredith finally whispered.

"What?" he asked.

"Just...this. It's..you and me and..I don't even know." she smiled, blushing slightly and laughing softly at herself, "We were best friends 17 years ago and now were together again and.." she breathed, "Do you ever feel like we wasted time or whatever?"

"Hmm." he sighed, shaking his head slowly. "I don't think that's possible."

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"I don't know exactly." he shrugged. "I kind of feel like this is how it was suppose to be. And where we are now, I like it."

"I do too." she nodded. "I don't know..I'm..I'm not making sense, I just.."

"No I get it- I get what you're saying, what you're implying. I just..I think this is better."

"You do?" she smiled, tilting her head up to look at him.

"I do." he nodded, smiling back.

"Good." she breathed, squeezing him tightly around his torso.

--

"We're back." Meredith sighed, her hand still in Dereks.

"We are." he smiled, walking her into the house.

"Do you um..want some coffee?" she breathed, suddenly feeling her nerves rise.

"Umm..yeah, sure." he nodded, shutting her door and taking his jacket off.

She walked toward the kitchen, set her purses and jacket on the chair, as Derek followed her. "Umm, black? Or do you like cream or um.."

"I ah.." he sighed, running his hands through his hair. "Where are your roomates?"

"Oh," Meredith breathed, "They're on call."

"Both of them?"

"Yeah, both of them." she said, turning around to face him suddenly very aware of the desire in his eyes.

"Finally." Derek breathed, pacing quickly to her and kissing her firmly.

The kiss was much more passionate then she could have ever imagined. Wrapping her legs around his waist she felt him lift her so she was sitting on the counter.

"Meredith.." he whispered, pulling her closer to him.

"Oh Der.." she sighed as his hands pushed her casual dress up her thighs.

His tounge swept past her lips as they continued kissing roughly. She kicked off her heels and began unbuttoning his shirt.

"Hmmm.." he groaned, now kicking off his shoes as he kissed her neck. "Meredith.."

"Up..upstairs.." Meredith panted, tightening her legs around him as her dress was tossed off leaving her in just her bra and underwear.

"Upstairs." Derek agreed, not hesitating a second as he lifted her and carried her towards the stairs.

Both moaning and kissing fiercly he managed to open her bedroom door and shut it before laying her on the bed. She unbuttoned his pants quickly. "Make love to me Derek."

He looked into her eyes as he nodded and reached around her to unhook her bra. With her breasts free he cupped them immediately, weighing each in the palms of his hands.

"Mer.." he groaned, uncontrollably grinding his hips into hers.

"Derek." she sighed contently, aching her chest into him.

Kissing his way down her neck, he reached the swell of her chest and began kissing until reaching her nipples and sucking. She ran her fingers through his hair as he continued his attention to her breasts.

Sneaking his hand down to her stomach he slowly pulled down her panties, leaving her completely exposed as she panted loudly when his fingers reached her folds.

"You're gorgeous Meredith." he whispered in her ear as he eased a finger into her. "So gorgeous..."

"Oh Derek.." Meredith screamed, feeling her orgasm build.

"Come hun..come Mer.." he smiled, kissing her lips once again.

She shook fiercly feeling her body shake uncontrollably. "Oh my god!" she panted.

"Yes.." Derek breathed.

She regained her control as her hands grabbed onto the band of his boxers and their eyes connected as he let her pull them down. She wrapped her arms around his back tightly as he positioned himself above her.

"Ready Mer?"

"Yes." she breathed, feeling herself shake with anticipation.

"I love you." he smiled, gently slipping himself into her.

"Ohh.." she cried out as she adjusted to his size.

"Meredith.."

"Yeah.."

"Oh Mer.." he breathed, running his hands through her silky dirty blonde hair as he leaned down to kiss her lips, slidding out and into her again as she gave another loud cry.

"Derek!" she screamed, feeling her nails dig into his back as they began a steady rhythm, building a faster and faster pace.

"Ohhhh!" she cried, as her orgasm washed over her.

"Meredith.." Derek sighed as he released himself into her.

They stayed conjoined together until he slipped himself out of her and turned so she was completely in his arms and underneath the covers.

"That was amazing." she breathed.

He laughed, "That's a complete understatement."

She giggled, "Okay it was really amazing."

He cupped her chin and turned her face to kiss her lips softly, "It was beyond amazing."

"At least we know that part of our relationship works." she smiled, letting out a small yawn.

"Sleep?" he asked.

"Sleep." she nodded already starting to fade.

"You were worth it Mer." she heard him whisper.

"What?"

"You were worth the wait, even if it was 17 years." he said, kissing her temple.

"You too Der." she smiled, as he wrapped his arms tighter around her. "You too."


Finally, now my life doesn't seem so bad,
it's the best that I've ever had,
give my love to him finally.
