Chapter 43: You Bought Us A House?

"What do you mean it's sold!" Meredith muttered into the phone as she paced around the x-ray room, there were pieces of paper stuck against the light board "Well un-sell it! That's the one I need and it can't be sold yet!"

She rubbed her eyes with her free hand and sighed heavily.

"What kind of real estate agent are you if you can't talk someone out of buying a house!" she muttered "Yes I know that your job is to talk them into it, I'm not stupid I'm…YES! I do think the world revolves around me thank you very much, now get me the god damn house I want!"

She slammed the phone shut and shrieked. As she turned around, she jumped to see a figure standing in the doorway and jumped.

"Shit!" she muttered "Warn someone before you do that!"

"I don't think you would've heard me over your own voice." He smirked "I would ask what you're doing but the whole floor heard you."

"Well if people would do their jobs…"

"Forget about people's jobs, why is it that they're not doing them correctly to your standards."

"We need to buy a house. I'm trying to buy a house. And I found the perfect house but it sold, three days ago and the moron of a sales agent says she can't talk them out of it, it's bullshit is what it is!"

"What's wrong with the condo?" he shrugged "We're comfortable there, it's only three of us."

"It's too small." She mumbled. Derek frowned for a second and then his eyes lit up.

"You're pregnant."

"No!" she scoffed "Our walls are too thin! It's too small."

"What do you mean our walls are too thin."

"Think Derek!" she muttered "You're a brain surgeon use your brain! Bella can hear us and well…"

"Hear what?"

"Sex!" Meredith shrieked "I want sex, good sex, where I can moan and scream your name to the moon and back. I can't get in that mood when I know she's in the other room and can hear us. So yes, Derek we need a bigger house if you ever want to have sex again. And I…I need sex. So, I'm buying a house to have sex."

"Oh." He nodded "Well what houses are we looking at."

"Shit ones." She sighed as she pulled two of the papers down "but I guess I'll just have to settle for second best for once."

"If you want to have sex again." He snickered "Heaven forbid we ever use, oh I don't know…an on-call room."

"Work sex…quick and dirty."

"Are you saying you don't enjoy it?"

"Fuck no." she scoffed "but we could clear off a desk or sneak in an unoccupied patient room every now and then."

"Spice it up." He smirked as his eyes went dark. She wiggled her shoulders at him to gesture that she was in the similar mindset and licked her lips, his eyes followed her tongue across her lips and he cleared his throat as he felt a large lump growing in his scrub pants "Are you free now?"

"As soon as I find us a house." She sighed.

"Problem solved."

"What do you mean?"

"This house that was bought three days ago?" he asked as he yanked the paper off the lightboard, then pulled a folded up paper out of his pocket and handed it to her "I bought it."

She frowned in disbelief until she opened the paper and saw the same house. A smile grew on her face as she raised her eyes to meet his in a smoldery connection.

"Derek Shepherd." She smiled "You bought me a house."

"Us." He said as they wrapped their arms around each other "I bought us a house."

"Everything about that turns me on." She said seductively.

"How so?" he gulped to moisten his dry throat.

"The house is a virgin to us." she whispered "We'll have to break it in…inch by inch."

He moaned as she ground her hips against his and felt the lump underneath his thin layers of fabric. Their lips connected in a thirsty dance of passion. His arms tightened around her waist, pulling her in close as he ground his hips against hers as her hands weaved into his hair and tugged.

"Gross." They heard at the door and broke apart "Seriously how much of that can you do without your lips falling off?"

She rolled her eyes and turned to walk off down the hall to Meredith's office. They both let out soft sighs against each other's swollen lips.

"A very quiet and discreet inch by inch."

Meredith nodded "Unfortunately." She shrugged "At least until she makes friends and has sleepovers."

So, Derek bought them a house; what do you think?
