"I've got good and bad news" Meredith stated as she finally pulled herself free from Derek's grip. They were in a closet in one of the hospitals busiest sections, Derek had run up and pulled her in their just as she was flipping her phone shut after talking to a friend. He now had her pinned against the wall and was desperately trying to find her lips again, after she pulled away. "Oi!" She said laughing "Dr. Shepard pay attention! As I said I have good and bad news"

He pouted at her as he started to fiddle with her hair. He was liking his choice of cupboards though, they usually chose the one further down the hall, but this one was much smaller which meant they had to stand squashed up against one another. "Ok, bad news first"

"I can't come over tonight" she said wincing

"Meh, come on" preparing to launch into a speal "I haven't seen you in years!" he excaudated.

"You stayed over two nights ago"

"But I finished late and you had to go to work at four so that doesn't count" he continued, as he wondered if she was trying to avoid him-however under their current circumstances he quickly scrubbed that idea. "Why is it so bad that I just want to see you, for more than five minutes?"

"What about right now, then?" she was getting annoyed as he hadn't given her time to explain her good news.

"Doesn't count! I want real time. Alone time. Not closet time." He said seriously

"Fine" she said opening the door and poking her head out to see if anyone was in the hall "Ill try to come over tonight-it will be late though" she said shutting the door behind her, she had decided not to tell him the good news until later, as she was still slightly annoyed with him.

He watched her leave and then rested his head on the back of the door. Why does life have to be so complicated he thought to himself as he counted to ten before opening the door and heading into the hall.

It was almost 1am when Meredith got to Derek's trailer; she smiled when she saw him waiting out the front, sitting in the deck chair that they had recently christened, as he put it. She had still been annoyed at him when she had set off for his place but as soon as she saw him waiting it seemed to just melt away.

He smiled when he saw her car turn the corner of his driveway, he was thinking about the best way to apologize to her-he had been a jerk the last time they had spoken. He walked over to open her door when she parked her car next to his "I'm sorry…"

"It's ok" she said, cutting him off and kissing him hello "You just didn't give me the chance to tell you the good news" she continued resting her forehead on his.

"Sorry" he smiled, relieved that this wasn't going to turn into a fight "What's the good news?"

She turned in her seat to face him wrapping her legs tightly around his waist and pulling him closer "Well" she started, before kissing him again "You've heard about my friend Rachel"

"Hmmm" he had heard a lot about her as she was an old high school friend of Meredith's

"Her and her hubby are going to a wedding this weekend in Alabama and" she drew out "she has asked me to house sit, I've just come from her house now"

"Why is this good news" he questioned, thinking that he wouldn't be able to see her again this weekend.

"She has this amazing spa designed for two and no roommates" she included raising an eyebrow.

Hmm, that is good news then" he smiled helping her out of the car "so are you going to get Christina to stay with you-staying in a weird house by yourself isn't much fun" he joked.

For that she hit him across the arm "Oh and there's one more thing" she added "I swapped shifts with George so I have all weekend off, like someone else I know"

"This is getting better all the time" he grinned, pinching her on the bottom as she skipped through the front door to his trailer.

Friday seemed to drag out forever; Meredith thought it would be Christmas before Derek finished his last surgery. Derek had parked his car in a dark corner at the back of the car park and she was waiting for him, after having leant hers to Izzie for the weekend. She was just beginning to doze off when there was a light tapping on the window.

"Are you going to let me in so we can start this weekend?" Derek asked through the glass, as Meredith lent over and unlocked the drivers' side door.

"You took your time" she said before kissing him "How'd it go"

"Really good, looks like she is going to be ok" he said as he started the engine and watched her slip down to her usual spot on the floor of the passenger side. As they had decided to keep their new relationship a secret for as long as possible, Meredith was use to ducking down in his car as they left the hospital, just to ensure no one saw her. She slid back into the seat when they had passed through the staff parking gates and where safely out onto the streets where they lost their intern and attending labels.

"So do we need to pick up food, or have they left us some-by the way does Rachel know there is an us?"

"No I put some food in her fridge when I picked up they key this morning and yes, I told her last week. It kinda slipped out while I was having a roommates rant after Izzie walked in on us in the kitchen. I think that's part of the reason she thought I might like to house sit" she smiled over at his, as she rested her hand in his, which was lying in his lap. "She wants to meet you" she added, watching for his reaction. She didn't know if they were at the point of meeting each others friends yet.

"Definitely. Sounds like a great idea" he replied to her relief "Why don't we go out to dinner with her and her hubby when they get back"

"Really?" she smiled

"Sure. Why wouldn't I want to meet my girlfriends friends-who else is going to give me embarrassing stories about you?" he was happy they were at this stage and secretly hoped someday he'd be introducing her to some of his mates.

"Next one on the left" she pointed

"Wow! What a house!" He gazed up at the two storey English-style townhouse they where approaching on the curved driveway.

"I know Steve is some high powered attorney" said Meredith, jumping out of the car and grabbing her bag out off the back seat.

"This is nice" Derek said, as Meredith unlocked the door

"What is?"

"Coming home to an empty house with you" he grinned before putting his bags down and pulling her in for a heated kiss.

"Save some of that for later" she said as she grabbed his hand and took him for the grand tour.

After a filling dinner they decided to watch a movie. "Dirty Dancing" pouted Meredith as she and Derek scanned Rachel's huge movie collection in the media room.

"No way!" Derek said shaking his head "I've never seen it and I'm not about to start now"

"Please? I love this movie and I never get to see it. You can choose the next one I promise"

"Fine" he gave in and sat down in the huge leather couch, stretching his legs out along the seats.

"Where am I going to sit?" questioned Meredith as she turned around to see him making himself comfortable across the entire seat.

"How about right here?" he said indicating the space between his legs. She smiled, looking forward to cuddling up to him and watching her favourite movie at the same time. Meredith snuggled into his body, with her back against his chest and her head tucked under his chin, eyes fixed on the screen.

About an hour into the movie she could tell he was starting to get bored as his fingers started to wonder. She sat motionless, pretending not to notice even though with every touch her sensations spiked and she tried desperately hard not to quiver in anticipation. He started with his fingers leisurely draping across her arm, then he walked them up to her collar bone, running them along the groove before dipping across to the other side.

He had decided weeks ago that her collar bone was his favourite part of her body, he had always thought himself to be the usual legs or breasts kind of man, and although he still was in some ways, something about her collar bones just drove him crazy. As his fingers dipped across her neck he knew he was having an effect on her, as she very slightly bit her lip and he noticed that although she was looking at the screen her eyes were no longer focused. He decided to build on her anticipation so after dangling his fingers around the base of her neck for a while he slowly wandered them down the centre of her chest to her stomach. This had the desired affect as she moved her head further into his neck trying to stifle a quiet moan that just managed to slip out.

She was no longer focusing on the screen at all; she was in her own world-one that only consisted of her and Derek. She felt him slip the tips of his fingers beneath her shirt and she sat up as he pulled it over her head, she then unclipped her bra and lay back on top of him as he silently removed it. She loved the fact that his fingers seemed to ache to be on her skin again and as he circled them below her breasts she felt herself begin to pulse.

He ran his fingers back down her stomach and began to undo her pants; she leaned against him and lifted her hips as he slipped them down over her legs. He went back to investigative her breasts before she raised herself again to sit higher against him, he willingly took this opportunity to slide his hands into either side of her panties and slip them down. As she kicked them off he bit her on the neck, and then examined the mark he had left.

The bite on her neck caused a tremble to erupt all over her body, her body now throbbing for his touch. While letting one hand meander at her breasts, stroking and stimulating her nipple the other moved to play in the warmth that was offered between her legs. She easily found his rhythm and rolling her hips against his hand.

With one final pinch of her clit she came, arching and turning her face into his cheek and moaning so load that he could hear the vibrations on his tongue. He watched as she slowly regained her composure, panting and moaning as the after affects of her orgasm played out all over her body.

As the credits rolled on the movie, she turned and looked him in the eye "enjoy the movie" she asked

"Not as much as you obviously" he answered as she kissed him hard on the lips.

Following that kiss came another, and another and she maneuvered herself so she was sitting with her legs tightly wrapped around his waist, clinging to him. She let her fingers knot in the hem of his shirt, before pulling it up over his head, as it landed on the floor he pushed her back against the seat of the coach falling lightly on top of her. She moved her fingers to his belt, undoing it and ripping it from his pants. Her next mission was his pants, she was more careful with these, not wanting to cause injury as he was already showing a proficient erecting.

As he was aching to feel himself within her again he entered as soon as she had removed his boxers. Pushing himself up onto his arms so as to get a better view of her beneath him, he began thrusting in and out of her. She lowered her legs from where they where high around his back and straightened out and squeezing them together, making him feel huge inside her. She watched the effect this had on his face, which was lit with the blue light from the screen now that the credits had rolled out. He lent down to kiss a bead of perspiration that was forming on her upper lip, struggling not to come as she reached her hand around his neck pulling him down for another searing kiss.

"Are you…?" he asked, clenching his teeth, unable to finish his question

"Together" she squeezed out and as he thrust in once more she concentrated and constricted around him. He collapsed on top of her, both panting and moaning with delight. They stayed as one until he fell soft, she enjoyed feeling him relax inside her especially as his tongue was now lavishing the inside of her mouth.

They lay their in silence, her stroking his back and wrapping her legs around him until the movie began to beep at them. He groaned as he moved off her and switched off the machine, as the room fell into darkness. However when he crept back onto the couch he found it empty, he looked around for her but as his eyes had not yet adjusted he couldn't see past the and of his nose.

She slowly came into view as she danced in front of him-clearly enjoying their nudity. He laughed at her antics as she took his hand before draping it around her waist and leading him up the stairs to the guests' bedroom. After visiting the bathroom he crawled under the covers, curling around her already sleeping form, he could feel the silky touch of her negligee as he wrapped his hand around her waist and drifted off to sleep.

A few hours later he woke to an empty bed, he got up and padded around the house quietly calling her name. After searching all of the upper level he ventured down the stairs and noticed a light coming from down the hall. After following it he found her sitting beside the indoor pool dipping her toes in over the side.

"Hey" he said, leaning against the door frame

"Hi" she smiled as he walked over to sit behind her "I hope I didn't wake you"

"No, how long have you been down here?"

"Not long" she said leaning back into him "I woke up and couldn't sleep so I came down here"

"You ok"

"Yeh, I don't think my body is use to sleeping in though"

"Life of an intern hey"

"Hmm" she smiled "it's not too bad from where I'm sitting at the moment" she said. He didn't notice that as she playfully kissed him she scooped her hand into the water and then suddenly let it drip over his bare leg. Before he could retaliate she jumped up and ran behind him.

"Oi!" he said, jumping up to chase after her "Your going to pay for that!"

"You will have to catch me first" she said as she darted around to the other side of the pool.

He was enjoying watching her running away from him in her tiny black negligee, but he finally managed to corner her and she put her hands up.

"I give up" she squealed, as she sauntered over to him before heatedly kissing him.

"You're not getting away that easily" he laughed as she tried to escape once again, instead he picking her up and threw her over his shoulder as he walked to the pools edge.

"No. Don't you dare Derek" she said clutching at his back

"One. Two. Three" he counted slowly before launching her into the water, she however managed to hold onto his waist, pulling him in with her. As they splashed into the warm water he felt her slither up in front of him.

"That wasn't very nice" he pouted, although he secretly loved the effect the water had on her negligee. He watched closely as it clung to her body, his eyes wandering all over her, until she ducked under water only to resurface behind him. In the deep water he felt her legs wrap around his as she slipped her hands down the front of his boxers and her fingers began to massage him.

As she left one hand to continue, she gingerly slid the other down his side dragging his boxers with it. As he stepped out of them she swam around and positioned herself in front of him. As she was unable to stand, she led him over to the edge of the pool before wrapping her legs around his waist and kissing him deeply.

"I love you" she whispered into his ear as he pinned her against the edge of the pool. She could feel his member pressing between her legs.

"I love you too" he returned pushing a piece of hair out of her eyes before pecking her on the nose. He was further aroused when he ran his hands up her legs, pulling her negligee up, and found she had no underwear on. He continued his hands around her body, reaching between her back and the wall and stroked the insides of her thighs before dipping inside her gently from behind.

She moaned, not expecting his touch from that angle and she nibbled on his ear to show her liking, while tightening her legs around his waist. Wanting to feel more of his skin against hers, she pulled the negligee over her head and dropped it in the water.

Leaving one hand in place to continue amusing her clit, he slithered the other between them inserting his fingers deeper within her. With this she moved to position herself over his element and dropped herself down hard onto it as he removed his hand. He tensed, pulling her closer, as her sudden tension enclosed him. He bit her lip as he crossed his arms behind her back, gripping her ass tightly with both hands as he began to rock her back and forth.

She pushed her back into the wall and clenched her knees at his hips, moving her legs so that the backs of her feet rested on his knees, changing the angle causing him to grind harder against her with every movement.

He lowered his head and licked the trickle water from the flat between her breasts, when she arched back against the wall. He freed one hand and stimulated her nipples before raising one to his mouth where he began to suck, pulling it against his teeth, enjoying hearing her whimper in delight. Sensing she was close and feeling himself beginning to peak he sought her clit, gently grazing it with his nails and then pressing into it, causing her to come. She raised her body up to his and bit hard into his shoulder as her entire body flexed, enjoying the moment of pure pleasure.

Her sudden tightness was unexpected and pushed Derek over the edge, he let out a load moan as she watched his expression change as his body tensed.

After kissing her lightly, he pulled her onto him as he lay back in the water, supporting her weight. They paddled around the pool together, each enjoying the heat on their fatigued bodies.

After some time, he got out and wrapped himself in a towel, then opened one for her as she stepped out of the pool after collecting their clothes from the water. She draped them over a chair and suggested they return to bed. As they climbed the stairs they could see the sun beginning to rise over the surrounding houses and as they reached their room both dropped their towels and collapsed onto the bed, not having the energy to dress.

The rest of the day was spent lasing around the house, before ordering in dinner as neither could be bothered cooking. They had an early night as both where due at work early the next morning.

They left the house in a hurry the next morning after Derek was called in for an emergency surgery. Neither wanting to enter reality, where they were not supposed to be together. Later in the day Meredith received a call from Rachel, thanking her for house-sitting and asking if she wanted the bra, which Steve had pulled out from between the cushions of the couch or the negligee and boxers which she had found still draped over the chair in the pool area, returned. Meredith just laughed at this and promised to fill her in on the details soon, before hanging up and going to find Derek to tell him about their lost clothing.
