Meredith woke with Derek's arms wrapped around her. She breathed in sharply letting out a long sigh, she new what was going to happen this morning, all of the questions he would ask, how he would now automatically see Chris as the enemy. He was that kind of guy, protective, Meredith thought was the best word for it. Derek began to wake up slowly she smiled when he opened his eyes and got out of bed and got dressed.
"We have to talk about it sometime Mer you know that, it may as well be now." Derek stated.
"I don't know were to start Derek. Its simple ok I didn't want anyone to know I was engaged to him ok it was a mistake a spur of the moment thing for me but not for him. Im the one who called off the engagement after I did he understood and we stayed friends it's that simple. I didn't want to tell you because I knew you would automatically go for the kill and probably hate him."
"Mer I admit I'm a bit jealous but that doesn't mean I hate him. The only reason I'd probly wouldn't like him if he still had obvious feelings for you. Or if you had feelings for him still, which isn't true right?"
Meredith nodded "Derek of coarse I don't have those kind of feelings for him anymore, I have them for you!"
"Ok then that's sorted out nothing to worry about anymore." He walked over and kissed her. "Meredith Grey I think I might be in love with you." He said softly.
Meredith looked up at him. "I think I might be in love with you to."
At breakfast Meredith felt very uncomfortable and didn't talk to anyone to avoid any questions from anyone else and she especially didn't want to talk to Chris, one of the things she said to him before he came is that he wouldn't say anything about their engagement.
Meredith picked up her plate and went into the kitchen. She opened the fridge and poured herself some juice.
"Mer can we talk?" Chris came into the room.
"I have nothing to say to you. Part of our agreement of you coming is that u wouldn't say anything and you did, you hadn't even been here for a day. Now if you don't mind I need to go to work. I'll see you later."
"Mer." George came up behind her as she exited a patients room.
"What George?"
"Care to explain?"
"No I don't George."
"Well I just want you to know that if you want 2 kick him out me and Izzie are happy with that no offence or anything but we don't really like him we think his a bit fake
"Its ok George I don't think he'll be staying much longer."
"Ok bye Mer."
"Bye George."
Meredith walked off to find Derek.
She walked up to a nurse.
"Excuse me." She said politely.
"Yes doctor."
"Do you know where I could find Dr.Shepard?"
"He's performing a surgery right now in OR 2 but should be out in an hour or so."
"Thank you." Meredith went off to the observation room and sat herself down next to Cristina.
"Hey Mer heard your ex fiancé staying with you." Cristina smiled at her.
"News gets around fast hey."
"Sheppard take it alright?"
Meredith looked down at him operating on his patient. "Surprisingly yes." Derek began to sew up his patient when he finished he took off his mask and flashed Meredith a quick smile. She gave him one back.
"Well I'll see you later Cristina." Meredith walked out of the room to find Derek. He was waiting for her in the hall.
"Hey you did well in there." She smiled.
"When do I not do well in there Meredith." He smiled cockily. "So any plans for tonight?' he grinned. Bailey came up behind them.
"Shouldn't you two be working." She said.
"I'm discussing a few things with Dr.Grey if you don't mind Dr.Bailey." Derek said not taking his eyes off Meredith.
"I'm sure you are." Bailey said before she walked off. Meredith began to laugh.
"She is amazing she always knows everything that going on in this hospital."
"So how about dinner?" Derek reminded her with a boyish grin.
"Sounds great I'll meet you at your car." Meredith turned flicking her hair as she did leaving him there.
Meredith cell phone started ringing on her way out to Derek.
"Hello." She said.
"Hey Mer its Chris."
"What do you want?" Meredith was still angry at him.
"I was wondering if you wanted to go out to dinner tonight to talk about…well you know."
"I can't I'm going out with Derek maybe tomorrow night." She hung up the phone and stopped in front of Derek. She gave him a grin.
"Who was that?" he asked.
"Someone I'm angry at."
"Oh Mer its out in the opened now everyone knows and they don't have a problem with it I think you should forgive him."
"Oh so you're taking his side are you!"
"No Meredith I think your over reacting that's all. Come on lets go lets not spoil the romantic evening I have planned!" he pulled her in for a passionate kiss.
Derek was right it was a very romantic evening but it didn't last.
There was a knock at Meredith bedroom door.
"Derek can you get that?" Meredith asked half asleep.
"Ok." Derek got out of bed and put on some boxers. He opened the door to find Chris standing there.
"Uh hey Derek is Mer in here?" Derek hated it when Chris called her Mer, he didn't know why he just did.
"Yeah hang on Chris I'll just get dressed." Meredith called from in the room. She was at the door on no time. Derek retreated to get dressed himself.
"Hey what's up?" she asked.
"Hey. Uhhh I was wondering if I could take you out to dinner tonight, I know its early to ask but I'm going out for the day and I wont get the chance to ask you. Sooo do you want to?"
"Sure of coarse I would. I finish work at 8:00 so you can pick me up from the hospital if you like."
"Sure. I'll do that. Ok I'll see you later." He gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Ok see ya." Meredith closed the door and turned around to see Derek looking at her. "What?" she stared back at him.
"Are you blowing me off for your ex fiancé?" he said jealously all over hir face and Meredith could see it.
"Blowing you off? It took Meredith a moment but then she remembered. "Oh we had plans for tonight."
"Yeah we did."
"Well Derek he's only here for a 4 days I need to catch up with him sometime."
"You could have done it tomorrow night."
"Well I'm not doing it tomorrow night I'm doing it tonight." She snapped "Not my fault your jealous of him. You know you have no need to be jealous of him."
"Don't I?" he said bluntly.
"What did you say!" Meredith was fuming she couldn't believe him. He had let jealously get the better of him when he had nothing to be jealous about. She flung open her door and Chris toppled onto the floor. "Were you listening to us?" Meredith yelled.
"I…uh…umm." Chris stuttered.
"Unbelievable!" Meredith snapped as she walked down the stairs to the front door.
