A/N: Sorry this chapter's short.
They were cordial to each other the very next day. Dr. Yang and Dr. Shepherd. Derek, that is. Christina was right he told himself. Every damned word she had said to him was one hundred percent accurate. There he was practically begging her of Meredith's whereabouts, what the hell does he do? He bloody goes home and makes love to his wife.
Derek was on his way out when Christina stopped him for a consultation. As they both were engrossed in the patient's chart, Addison stood on the side. She smiled and thought about the previous night. What's a few minutes of waiting, when she would have a lifetime with him. She has never been happier.
Back at the trailer, he sat outside as Addison prepared dinner. He gulped down his beer as he looked up at the darken sky. It saddened him to have thoughts of Meredith. He reminisced to the last time they were together.
Flasback
It was a wonderful time for love. It was a beautiful and warm sensuous day. The color of the sky was crystalline blue. He surprised Meredith with a picnic. The joys of nature brought out their natural instinct, animalistic behavior. They undressed as much as they dared. It was a balmy day, clouds floated throughout the summer sky as they felt a gentle breeze passed through them. The sounds of leaves rustled as the trees heard them as they made love. She murmured for more as she made him groan with desire. It excited them dangerously for fear that they could have been caught in broad daylight at that precise moment.
End Of Flasback
"Derek? Where are you?" He heard the sound of his wife's voice as she spoke out tenderly.
"What?" He asked as he returned back to reality.
"Where were you? I called out twice. It seemed you were in deep thought. Are you alright?" Addison asked as she flopped herself down onto his lap.
"Just a little tired," he lied to her.
"Dinner's ready." She got off of him and pulled him up from out of his chair.
He nodded. She stared at him intensely into those eyes of his. Addison was no fool, she knew her husband well. He was not happy. He hadn't been since the day Meredith left Seattle.
Meredith wished she could stop the feelings she had for him. She felt as if she'd go crazy. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. She definitely agreed to that. She thought of Derek every minute of the day. She wanted to be with him, to be near him, she wanted him.
Derek felt as if he'd lose his mind. He wanted to touch her, to hold her, to be with her forever. But, all he had for the time being was memories of Meredith and it was only his to keep. He loved her. He only hoped she too felt the same way.
They were two lost souls who wanted and needed to be together.
