Chapter 4: Coffee Surprises

Flashback- 1993

Meredith and Izzie managed to drag Cristina shopping. They found a small coffee shop in town; Meredith had been fighting off questions about Derek in the car and on their way to town. Judging by the look on their faces, she knew they weren't going to give in, so Meredith deflected the question back to Izzie.

"Izzie, who was the guy you were with last night?"

"He's called Mark, but I'm more interested in Derek."

"Nothing happened." Meredith shrugged off.

"Was he any good? He looks like he would be good." Cristina said, causing Meredith to choke on her coffee.

"Excuse me?"

"You heard what I just said…"

"Who was any good?" Meredith heard his voice behind her, sending shivers down her spine. She glared at Izzie and Cristina who just burst into laughter.

"No one you know." Meredith answered him. She noticed Mark talking to Izzie. Derek pulled up a chair, sitting next to Meredith, taking her hand underneath the table.

"That hurts." Derek says, with a slight smile.

"You will get over it."

"I don't know about that."

"I think you will, so where are you taking me tonight?"

"That is for you to find out! I have to go, need to get some stuff for later. Mark, are you ready?" Derek looks over at Mark and sees him and Izzie making out. "Sloan!" Derek says louder, causing Mark to pull away from Izzie.

"Shep, can't you tell I'm busy here man?" Mark says, Derek just shakes his head, and turns back to Meredith.

"I will see you at 7?"

"Okay." Meredith feels Derek's lips on her. As he tugs at her bottom lip to gain entry to her mouth, Derek slips his tongue in. Meredith moans into his mouth before he pulls away, leaving them both feel breathless.

"You look beautiful, Meredith!" Derek kisses her again before standing up. "See you later. Bye Izzie, Bye Cristina." Derek drags Mark out of the coffee shop, with a bit of resistance.

"Mark, do you want to explain to the sisters, why..."

"No, let's go!" Mark says picking up his pace to the supermarket. Back in the coffee shop Cristina was eyeing up both Meredith and Izzie and after a few minutes they both snapped at the same time.

"What?!" Meredith and Izzie said simultaneously.

"You both make me sick!"

"Excuse me?"

"You both so lovey dovey with those guys."

"You're just jealous" Izzie spat at her.

"I am not, Barbie, Meredith?"

"Don't involve me, I'm heading to the shop so we can eat tonight, and I'll let you two fight this out" Meredith said, standing up and walking out of the coffee shop. They managed to do their shopping without anyone getting hurt. When they get out to the car park, they see Derek and Mark again. Cristina simply rolls her eyes. and Meredith can't take her eyes off Derek, as he loads up the land rover. Derek can feel Meredith's eyes on him, and he smirks to himself, knowing that she is watching him. They couldn't take their eyes of each other; Meredith could feel herself getting lost in them, Derek doesn't hear Mark calling his name, until Mark punches him in the shoulder, causing Derek to break eye contact with Meredith.

"What?" Derek snapped at him.

"Stop with the eye sex and help me finish packing the car." Mark says, sounding annoyed. They finish loading the car, and Derek throws a quick look in Meredith direction, and flashes her a smile, before getting in the car.
