The Shy Guy
Disclaimer: Don't own any characters, but I'm sure you all know that. I know the title is cheesy, but I couldn't think of anything.
It had been a month sense Derek chose Addison over Meredith. Everybody did their best to comfort her and cheer her up, but it never worked. She was in love with this man and he ripped out her heart and stomped on it. At this point in her life she was miserable and lonely, not just because of him though. Christina was busy with Burke, and Izzie started spending more and more time with Alex, so at home it usually was just her and George.
Even though Meredith was at home with him it was still lonely for George. She was always locked up in her room sulking for Shepard. George finally decided he had to do something and went to her room. "Hey Meredith." "What is it George" "I know you won't want to, but I need you to get dressed and go somewhere with me." "You're right I don't want to and where is it that you want me to go?" "I can't tell you, and if you refuse I'll keep harassing you about it." Not wanting to be hackled all night she decided to go with him.
"A karaoke bar George!" "I thought it would be fun." Meredith just rolled her eyes. She had no idea that this is what he had in mind. They both went inside got a table, and ordered some drinks. George could tell she wasn't having a good time, and felt bad about it. He really thought it would cheer her up and then he thought of something else. "I'll be right back, ok." George got up before she could even say anything. As she waited for him she fooled with her drink and all of a sudden the M.C. announced "next singing "Summer Lovin" from Grease George and Meredith." That caught her attention. She had this panicked look on her face and stared at George who just stood frozen on stage. The spotlight was on her and she knew she had to go up there. As she got on stage she mouthed to George "I'm gonna kill you". He looked scared.
The music started and out George sang "summer lovin had me a blast". He couldn't believe he was actually doing this. He was both scared and nervous and everyone could tell based on his quiet monotone voice. "Summer Lovin happened so fast" Meredith was so embarrassed, but managed to carry a little more rhythm in her voice. As George continued to sing Meredith looked at him and couldn't help but smile. Shy George was singing in front of a room full of people. As the song progressed she started to relax more but, he was still as tense. She walked up to him grabbed his hand and started dancing with him at they sang. He finally smiled and started spinning Meredith around the stage. She was actually laughing and having fun.
They got home at about 11:00. It wasn't really late, but late to them seeing as how they both had to get up at 5:00 in the morning. George put his and Meredith's coats up and said "well I guess I'm going to bed. I know it's going to be a long day so goodnight. As he was heading towards his room Meredith stopped him. "Hey George." He turned around. "Thanks for tonight, this is the first time in over a month that I actually had fun." George just smiled at her and she at him as, they both went to their rooms.
