Meredith grew tired of flipping through the endless channels on the t.v.

She shifted the pillows on the couch and tried to become more comfortable.

She was discharged and brought home by

Izzie this afternoon. Supposedly she wasn't allowed to be alone for 24 hours so the other interns were taking shifts watching her.

"Scoot you pathetic self over Grey, I want to watch."

It was Alex's turn.

"You know, I just had surgery you should be nicer." Meredith said smiling.

"Nope, I can't, never will." Alex said taking a big bite into a sandwich he had got for himself.

Meredith tried to get up but Alex pushed her back down.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"To go get a sandwich." Meredith told him frustration showing on her face.

"Sorry Grey but I can't let you leave this couch." Alex laughed.

"But I'm hungary!" Meredith said.

"Want some?" Alex asked sticking food out of his mouth, meredith looked away disgusted.

"When will it be George or Christina's turn?"

"In a couple of hours." Someone else said behind them.

Both turned to see who it was.

Derek.

"Alex, good job at locking the door." Meredith told him. He just looked at her shrugged and left.

"Thank you!" Meredith yelled sarcastically after him.

"Anytime!" He called back and shut the door. She heard it lock.

Derek came and say down on the couch by Meredith.

"Why are you here?" Meredith asked.

"I have the day off, thought I would come check on you."

"Well now that you made my watch dog leave I'm getting up." Meredith told him and struggled to get off the couch she was sinking into.

"No can do." Derek told her and pushed her back down. His face was dangerously close to hers. She could feel him breathing and he could smell the lavender in her hair.

"I'll make you lunch." He said and pulled away from her.

She sighed. Nothing in her life was ever easy.

He came back with a grilled cheese sandwich and a glass of lemonade. He smiled at her and picked up her feet that were lying on the couch. He sat down and laid her feet in his lap.

"Aren't you hungary?" She asked as she took a bite of the sandwich. He nodded and said, "Yep, but not for food."

She laughed and shook her head. Turning the t.v. back on she tried her best to ignore him.
