Chapter 7
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Derek had the phone at his ear and had said hello without even realizing what he was doing, it wasn't until he caught Meredith's head urgently poking around the bathroom door that he took in the full scope of his actions-realizing that it would be extremely difficult to explain to another staff member why he was answering his interns phone at eleven o'clock at night.
"Hello-Who is this?" the worried sounding female voice on the other end of the phone line brought suddenly wakening him up "Is that you George?"
"No, it's…Bob" he answered, knowing he would never truly be able to imitate his girlfriend's roommate.
"Oh, sorry I was looking for Meredith Grey. Do I have the wrong number" The voice continued.
He glanced at Meredith who was now kneeling on the edge of the bed, looking curiously at his expression of bewilderment. "No no she is right here, hang on" he said before handing the phone to her.
She was still concerned that it may be someone calling from the hospital as she lay across Derek, to reach the reciever. "Hello, Meredith speaking" she said trying to sound as professional as possible.
"Who was that" the voice said inquisitively "I thought your boys name was Derek"
"Oh hi Rach" breathed Meredith, realizing it was her old friend, "no that was Derek-he just doesn't usually answer my phone, incase it's someone from the hospital" she smiled, feeling Derek's breathing return to normal beneath her.
"Oh that's good" she laughed, "I was beginning to think you had swapped boys on me before I had a chance to meet him"
"Would I do that to you?" Meredith questioned "You have met all my boyfriends and bosses to mention it-so why would I stop now that I have two in one?" She felt a twinge in her stomach as she said it; although she thought of Derek as her boyfriend, she had never said it out loud-especially within proximity of him. She stole a nervous look at him but he had his eyes closed and head back against the pillows, while drawing slow circles on her back beneath her shirt. She knew he was listening, it was hard not to when she was stretched out on top of him, but his lack of reaction, she hoped, was a sign that she hadn't freaked him out by the boyfriend comment.
"So when am I going to meet this man" Rachel continued "I think I have the right to, as I assume he has been to my house-due to the boxers I found with your negligee in my pool" she joked
Meredith smiled, remembering hers and Derek's escapades in Rachel's pool while they where house sitting a few weeks earlier.
Derek had been dozing, enjoying having his Meredith sprawled on top of him as she spoke to her friend, but decided to get up and let her have some privacy so she could have a proper gossip, growing up with four sisters he knew the importance of this. As he slid from beneath her she lent across and kissed him on the cheek, before rolling over and taking his warm spot in the bed, he pulled up some of the rugs to cover her as he pulled some sweats on.
He wandered downstairs and into the living room, where he found Izzie and George watching a movie.
"Where's Meredith" Izzie questioned as she saw Derek wander into the living room alone
"Rachel is on the phone" he answered
"God, she will be on the phone for hours then" George mumbled as he moved his legs off the couch and offered Derek some popcorn. Derek smirked to himself, remembering that Izzie had been staging a silent protest and not sitting on the couch since he told her that he and Meredith had slept on it.
"That's what I thought" continued Derek as he sat down "thought I'd give her some privacy-you don't mind your boss crashing your party for a bit do you?" he questioned his eyes diverting between both of them
"You stopped being my boss in this house after the first sleepless night" Izzie replied, smiling as Derek's face turned a light shade of scarlet.
--------------------------------
Meanwhile upstairs
"Ok so ill see you tomorrow then, are you going to book or shall I" Meredith was finishing off her conversation with Rachel, after realizing they had been on the phone for over an hour "Great I'll see you then. Bye" she concluded before hanging up the phone and heading down the stairs to find Derek.
She smiled as she caught site of him engrossed in a movie with her roommates and slipped over the back of the couch onto his lap. No one spoke as she entered the room, and the only movement was of Derek's arms as he wrapped them around her as she snuggled into him.
Izzie found that she was the only one still awake as the credits started to roll. She couldn't help but laugh as she watched George spooning the throw cushion in his sleep at one end of the couch, but she smiled when as she watched Meredith snuggled in Derek's arms-knowing that she had helped her roommate find happiness. She quietly decided to capture the moment and tiptoed into the hall to grab her camera, before taking a photo of the three of them asleep on the couch and then a closer one of Meredith and Derek,.
Knowing the couch was uncomfortable place to sleep, Izzie then slowly woke them all up and said her good nights before heading up to her room. She soon heard them trudging up after her, followed by the closing of doors. She was silently grateful when she heard Meredith and Derek say goodnight, knowing she would be getting a good nights' sleep.
-------------------------------------------
The next morning as they where rushing around getting ready Meredith decided to finally break the silence and ask the question "so are you sure you want to meet Rachel?"
"Yeh, why wouldn't I" a little astonished at the uncertainty in her voice
"Good" she said smiling "Because we are going out to dinner with them tonight"
"Oh are we now" he said, gathering her in his arms and throwing her on the bed "So what am I going to be introduced as, the boss or the boyfriend?" as he hovered above her lips
"Definitely the boyfriend" she said, knowing he had been listening in on her and Rachel the previous night
"Good-I like the sound of that" he said as he ran kisses down her neck
------------------------------------------------
"Hot date" Christina said as she walked into the locker room and saw Meredith putting on the last touches to her makeup.
"Something like that" Meredith replied, suddenly remembering that she had not yet told Christina that she and Derek were back together.
"So where's McDreamy then" Christina countered, enjoying seeing Meredith jolt at the realization that she had been caught out.
"How long have you known?" she asked simply
"Since your mood went from terrible to fantastic over night a couple of months ago"
"Sorry I didn't tell you"
"That's ok-so where is he?"
That's one of the things Meredith most liked about Christina, she cut out all the girly crap, not worrying that Meredith hadn't told her about her love life instantly. "He is picking me up around the corner, we couldn't exactly both leave the hospital dressed to the nines without raising suspicions and since his shift finished early he went back to mine with George to get ready"
"So where you headed?" Cristina said as she started to get changed out of her scrubs
"We are going out with Rachel; you've met her she's my friend from school"
"What's with the little black dress then, if its just dinner with friends-I think you and McDreamy are past the point of trying to look good in front of each other" She replied, raising her eyebrows and looking Meredith up and down.
Meredith was wearing a simple black long sleeved dress, which clung to her sides without being to tight and fell loosely just above her knee. She had left her hair out, letting it fall around her shoulders and had applied a little more eye makeup than usual to give her a smoky-eyed look, under the suggestion of Izzie "Rachel was given a voucher to some ritzy restaurant in the city so she suggested we joined them-is it to much?" she questioned, still examining herself in the mirror.
"No way you look fantastic" Izzie said poking her head around the corner of the lockers "Now go or you are going to be late" she said handing Meredith her shoes "leave your bag out and ill take it home with me" Then sat and watched as Meredith scrambled out the door clutching her shoes and handbag.
"Ok spill" Christina said turning to Izzie "I want all the backlog of gossip on those two" Izzies eyes sparkled as she turned and grabbed the photo of Meredith and Derek from the previous night out of her bag and showing Christina.
"Aww they look so cute" said Christina, shocking Izzie with her girly side. Both girls liked the way that they looked together, her head tucked into his neck and him looking like he fell asleep while leaning to kiss her hair, their arms still entwined together and fingers interlaced below her chin.
"I know I couldn't resist" smiled Izzie "I haven't shown either of them yet-it's just to cute!" she said taking the picture back before standing and sticking it to the inside of Meredith's locker. "If we are going to live off the details of our friends' romance we need chocolate mouse to go with it" Izzie said grabbing Christina's arm and directing her towards the cafeteria.
--------------------------------------------------
At Meredith's house:
"Do you think she will like it?" Derek questioned as he and George examined the contents of the slim black box
"Are you kidding, she will love it" he said closing the box before handing it back to Derek
Slipping it into the inside pocket of his jacket Derek continued "I think she has forgotten it is our first three month anniversary" he stated, checking his hair in the hall mirror as George sat at the bottom of the stairs. "We kind of decided to skip the first two as we had sort of celebrated them the first time we went out before Addison turned up"
"She will love it" George reinforced as Derek turned to leave
"Thanks George" Derek replied sincerely looking him in the eye as he headed out the door"
-------------------------------------------
"We are a bit early" Derek said as he opened Meredith's door after they arrived at the restaurant, but he caught his breath as he watched her slip out of her seat.
"What?" she questioned him lightly, catching his expression.
"Wow…just wow. You look fantastic" he said as he looked her up and down before motioning for her to twirl so he could take her all in. She had darted into the car so quickly near the hospital, so as not to be seen, that he hadn't actually noticed what she had been wearing.
"You don't look so bad yourself McDreamy" she smiled leaning into kiss him. He was dressed in a black suit with a faint grey pinstripe, a matching grey shirt with the collar open.
"Hmm. We make a good pair" he said wrapping his hand around her waist as they entered the restaurant.
-------------------------------------------
They had been sitting in the restaurant for a few minutes, waiting for the other couple to arrive, before Derek reached into his pocket and placed the thin black box in front of Meredith. She looked up in surprise "Well, open it" he said after she had just sat their staring at it.
She ran her hands along the soft velvet case before prizing it open to find a black pearl necklace lying inside. "Derek I love it" she exclaimed excitedly running her hands over the pearl, before kissing him on the lips.
He leaned over and took it out of the case as she turned around so he could put it on for her. "Happy nearly-three month anniversary" he whispered in her ear before placing a kiss on the back of her neck.
"I thought we agreed we weren't celebrating any anniversaries" she said turning back to him, still grinning and fingering the necklace.
"I know but I saw it and couldn't resist. Besides we have never had a three month one before" He said smiling and leaning in to kiss her.
"Thank-you" she breathed against his lips before leaning to kiss him again.
"Well well well, what's this then?" A voice said breaking them apart.
"Rachel" Meredith smiled, standing up to hug her friends "I'd like you to meet Derek" she said as he stood up shaking hands with Steve and kissing Rachel on the cheek "Derek this is Rachel and her husband Steve"
"Hi it's nice to meet you both, although I feel as if I already know you as Meredith talks about you so much" he said helping Meredith into her chair as they all moved to sit down.
Later…
"Mer, that's gorgeous" Rachel said leaning into inspect the necklace her friend was playing with.
"Thanks" Meredith blushed "Derek gave it to me for our nearly-three month anniversary" she smiled squeezing his hand under the table.
"Well I'd like to see the three month one, if that's the nearly-three month one"
"Uh-uh there isn't going to be a three month present. There wasn't even meant to be a nearly-three month present" Meredith replied staring at Derek, who casually glanced over at her and smiled cheekily before returning to his conversation with Steve.
In all they had a very nice evening, with Steve and Derek deciding to go fly fishing at sometime in the future and Meredith and Rachel deciding that would be a very good day for them to visit the spa. Towards the end of the evening Meredith excused herself to visit the bathroom and as soon as she was out of site Steve and Rachel stared at him.
Steve motioned for Rachel to start "Now she doesn't have anyone around to tell you this but"
"Don't even think about hurting her" Steve cut in over his wife "Or you will have us to deal with"
"Now we have heard your story, from beginning to end and all the bits in between so we know you love her and would give a lot up for her, but consider this your warning- don't hurt her!" Rachel stated waging a finger at Derek, who could only sit there and take it as they weren't letting him get a word in edgewise"
"I promise I won't" is all he could muster when they finally finished "I really do love her" he finished
"You love who?" Meredith questioned, sliding back into her seat next to him
"You" he replied simply, glancing towards Rachel and Steve who had sat back in their seats with unassuming looks on their faces.
Meredith watched his gaze "You two didn't just give him the fatherly chat did you?" she questioned, glaring at them "You promised you wouldn't"
"Who us?" Rachel replied, unable to hold her straight face any longer
"I don't believe you two. I was only gone for what…a minute!"
"It's ok Mer" Derek interjected "they were just letting me know that life wouldn't be worth living if I hurt you" he said smiling and pulling her face towards his and pecking her on the lips "But I wouldn't be able to live without you so that's not going to happen" he whispered into her ear. She then pulled his mouth back to hers and gave him a smoldering kiss which was only interrupted by the waiter serving their desserts.
Later as Derek and Steve were collecting the cars, Rachel hugged her friend and said "I think you've found a keeper" the same thing Meredith had said when she first met Steve.
"I think I have to" Meredith replied smiling, before bidding her friends good night and sliding into the passengers' side of Derek's car.
----------------------------------------------
When they arrived back at Derek's trailer he and Meredith were casually walking inside when he started to kiss her neck, hinting at what he wanted to do next.
"Hold on buster" Meredith said spinning around in his arms "This dress was expensive so you are going to have to remove it carefully I'm hoping it will do for the work Christmas party as well"
"Promise I will be careful" he said as he fiddled with its hem, before starting to pull it up.
"No I mean it-you have to use the zip"
Now that they were inside, he carefully pulled the zip down her back, letting his fingers stroke her skin on the way down, taking pleasure in watching the small hairs on her back stand on end. He then slid the dress off her shoulders and picked it up off the floor as she stepped out of it, throwing it to hang over the back of a chair.
""What on earth are you doing?" he said, laughing at her as she surveyed the contents of the fridge "We just ate, or did you miss that part?"
"I'm not hungry, just want something to nibble on" she said, moving to check out the contents of his cupboard "I think I'm getting to use to living with Izzie-there is always something sweet to eat late at night with her around"
"You could nibble on me" he said crouching down around her and lightly nipping at her neck and fingering her collar bone
"As tempting as that sounds" she said leaning back into him and kissing his nose "I want something I can actually swallow" her eyes widening and cheeks blushing red, realizing what she had said
He just stared at her amused "To easy" he said pecking her on the cheek before pulling out a block of dark chocolate from the back of the cupboard.
"Now that's what I want" she said as her eyes lit up "Not that the other offer wasn't tempting" she said pulling him in for a long kiss "Maybe later" she added, raising an eyebrow.
"I keep it hidden so I only remember its there when I really want it" he said indicating the chocolate as they curled up in bed together "Otherwise I'd be the size of a house-this stuff is my favourite"
"At least you wouldn't have to build one then" Meredith quipped playfully, slipping a piece of chocolate into his mouth before he could reply
After holding it in his mouth for a few seconds he leant over and kissed her, letting the melted chocolate roll between their mouths.
"Hmm, your right" she said as she slipped another piece into his mouth "This is good chocolate" kissing him again
Although enjoying the chocolate, he thought he would enjoy tasting her more so carefully moved his arm to her back and laid her down, leaning on top of her. When she let him out of their kiss he sat up and pulled his shirt over his head, as she undid his pants. After kicking off his pants he lay back down on top of her and rolled them over so that she was on top of him, he unclipped her bra but did not remove it, leaving it to gradually slide off her shoulders. He ran his fingers across the dip in her lower back and let his finger tips trace the outline of her g-string.
A shiver erupted all over her body as he slowly he ran his hands down her sides dragging her underwear with them. Still lying on the bra, she lifted her upper body off him, just enough as to pull it out from between them. Then straddling him with her legs and working her way down his body, kissing his neck and stomach before arriving at his boxers. She took the soft fabric between her teeth and gradually edged them down, leaving her hands on his stomach to hold him down as he tried to sit up and pull her back to his mouth.
She tentively kissed his member, hovering above him to prolong his process and watching eagerly as he began to swell, he had given up trying to get her back to his mouth and had relaxed back onto the bed closing his eyes. She sucked hard on him and tickled his tip with her tongue as she moved her lips around him.
Not liking having anything to do with his hands and aching to touch her, he pulled her back to his mouth moaning as she let her hands continue her mouths work. He rolled them over and begun to stimulate her, trickling his hands around her inner thigh and then letting his fingers enter her one-by-one.
She moaned into his mouth and bit his lip as he entered her and lifted her body to his, pulling against his shoulders. Using one hand to stabilize them on the bed he wrapped the other around her back and lifted her towards him and continued thrusting in and out steadily increasing his rate, as she clung to his back, enjoying the taste of his mouth.
When they collapsed onto the bed later that evening they were both panting heavily, neither needing to speak as he wrapped himself around her as their short heavy breaths changed to relaxed peaceful and asleep ones.
The next morning he awoke to her trying to stifle her giggles, by the time he was awake enough to kiss her she was laughing she hard that he couldn't catch her lips in his current state "What?" he asked in a pleading tone.
"You have chocolate all over you" she laughed, rolling back onto the bed.
Through half closed eyes he looked around and saw the chocolate they had opened last night spread across the sheets and all over him, looking up at her he couldn't help but laugh either.
Now it was her turn to ask why he was looking at.
"You look pretty tasty yourself" he said moving on top of her and licking chocolate off her cheek
The rest of their morning was spent enjoying cleaning each other and when they could no longer stand the taste of chocolate they moved to the shower, not yet sick of the taste of each other.
