It's been a reallly REALLY long time since my last update and I'm begging for forgiveness! Lol… but I do apologize, life has been busy, so yea…. Here we go

Last chapter ended with Addison deciding to make Mer/Der's life a "living hell" to win Derek back.. plus she "lost" the divorce papers she only half signed

The Next day at the hospital, Derek had a day off and Meredith, who was very envious of her day-off boyfriend, had to go to work at 4 am. She and Izzie took Meredith's car. George began work at 5 am today, so he got extra sleep. When he went down the stairs to get coffee, he saw a familiar figure reading the morning paper.

"morning, O'malley," Derek said, still wearing his boxers from last night. When he had the day off, he didn't take his showers until later in the morning.

George was shocked. He knew Derek would be here, but he didn't think it would be this awkward. "Good Morning Der-Doc-Doctor Shepperd." He had always secretly loved Meredith and just talking with his boss hurt him even more knowing that they were a couple-yet again.

"George?" Derek asked

"Yes?" He replied, careful not to get into the name dilemma again.

"First off, relax! Call me Derek. I practically live here now and I can be treated as "one of the gang" at home without letting it interfere with our professional lives. Second, can you drive my car to work today?"

George was yet again shocked. Why would Dr. Shep- Derek want me to take his car to work? His expensive sports car. "Sure," He said, without thinking. "may I ask why?"

"If you need to know, I have to wash it in the car wash, and I was wondering, since you woke up early, if you could get it washed before your shift so I don't have to worry about it. I'll give you the money for it, plus I'll throw in a surgery for you to scrub into!"

At first George was skeptical, but the ability to scrub in caught his attention. He wanted a chance to scrub in whenever he could. So he agreed to it.

I think I like having a "home" here Derek thought as he sipped coffee. They do things for each other. I want to be apart of this. Meredith's life is perfect with this circle of friends. I definitely like it here!

"Hey Meredith," George said as he walked into the locker rooms, "Guess who's car I drove to work?"

"Come on George," Meredith said annoyed, "It's too early for guessing games…"

"Besides, we all know you took your car," Izzie added.

"It's true Georgie, who else's would you take, or maybe you stole a car!" Alex announced, as he was eaves dropping on the conversation. "I DID NOT!" George defended himself. Alex had only added to the conversation to get Izzie's attention, and, as he assumed, it failed. There was no way in this world that they would have a shot again. Izzie was too mad. Maybe in the future, but not now.

"You guys, please let me at least give you the answer if you won't guess!" George argued. "Dr. Shepherd's car!"

"Whoa George!" Christina said. "You've been screwing Addison all this time?" Christina saw how flustered George got when she said this. She was just kidding, she knew he meant Derek's. But it was SO FUN to make Georgie-Porgie mad.

"FORGET IT OK!" George yelled as he exited the room in a rage. When he left, All three girls stared at eachother and began howling in laughter.

"THAT was fun!" Christina said inbetween giggles. They nodded and got ready for work.

Meanwhile, at Meredith's….

Derek was bored. It wasn't fun being alone in the house. There was nothing on T.v but Oprah (A/N: Now Derek has to watch Oprah like the Chief had to when he was at home with the brain tumor!). He basically just starred at the wall all morning until the door bell rang.

He answered the door… but there was no one there. Lousy kids Derek thought They get a weekend off from school and all they can do is play ding-dong-ditch!

Then the phone rang. But no answer. Now they are too scared to make prank phone calls!

Derek wasn't amused when he heard the door bell ring again, but he figured he'd still check, just in case it was a delivery man giving him the amazon book he ordered. When he got there, he saw a familiar face.

"Addison!"

"hello Derek"

"I thought you'd be halfway across the country by now!"

"Yeah, about that, The thing is, I didn't sign the papers. I refuse to. So you can tell your girlfriend she is still dating a married man. Hm? Wouldn't that be a fun story to tell the kids. Children, your daddy is married, but I slept with him anyway and now we have you! Fun fun fun! Look, I'll cut the crap and get to the point. I don't give a damn if you don't love me because honey, I can't live without you and I don't intend on doing so. So, since we are still married, we can continue to work things out until you get to the point where you'd die if you and I were apart. We'll get to that point, Derek, I'm sure of it. We'll get there and you'll be like Meredith WHO? Trust me, we were supposed to be this way. TO love this way."

Addison leaned in to kiss Derek on the lips. Derek pulled back. "No Addison, No! Sign the papers so I can live my life. I love Meredith. I always was in love with her. You and I-we're done. We're as good as over. Get out of my life and leave Me and Mer alone!"

"How sweet. You call her Mer. Remember this, Derek, you called me Addy. You are just using her as a replacement love, but you are doing the same things you did with me! You don't love her, you love the thought of her. She never cheated on you, but it took her 3 months to talk to you again. I talked to you as soon as I got here!"

"And that took 4 months for you to get here. What were you doing back in New York, Addison"

"I was doing my pra-"

"don't say that. Don't you DARE say you were doing your practice. Tell the truth Addison. You were with Mark still. You fell in love with him like I did with Meredith."

"Derek, you don't know me at all, do you! I didn't fall in love with him. I did it to get your attention. Believe me, when you left, he wanted to, but I didn't. At first I did because I knew he would call you and tell you he was doing me, but when I realized that you didn't come home I stopped. And then Dr. Webber called to tell me that you had a girlfriend. He offered me a temporary position- which is now full-time- so I could work it out with you. GIVE US A CHANCE!"

"funny, Addison, how you try to get attention. The real world doesn't work like that. Find a better way for attention with your future relationships, but we're through!"

Derek Slammed the door on her and slunk down. He wanted Meredith to come home….

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Meredith was ready to go home when she saw a familiar figure standing in the lobby.

"Mark?" She cried.

A tall, lean, tan guy with Dark hair turned in Meredith's direction. He smiled. "Meredith!" Meredith ran over to give him a hug. Mark Terenew was her high school sweetheart back in her early years in Seattle. It was good to see him here. They caught up for a while when Meredith asked him what brought him to Seattle.

"I'm here to meet a friend I knew when I moved to New York for NYU. He works here at this hospital… maybe you know him… Derek… Derek Sheperd"

Meredith's mouth swung open. She was speechless. Here Mark was His Mark? They were the same person?

Oh no oh no oh no!

what will happen next! Gasp! Will Derek ever find out? How will he feel to know his girlfriend went out with his backstabbing friend? Will this break them up, again?

I'll try to update b4 this Saturday, no promises!
