"What are you talking about?" she yelled at him
"Nothing!" he replied in an equally harsh tone "I don't even know why I bother trying when you get like this"
""When I get like what? Exhausted?" she said running up the stairs.
"Rrrrrr" he exclaimed running up behind her and slamming the door of her room behind him; much to the relief of George and Izzie who had been sitting on the couch watching TV when Meredith had stormed through the door, closely followed by Derek.
"Do you even think they noticed us" Izzie said as she turned back to the TV
"No, they never do when their emotions are running high, last week they didn't even notice that I was sitting in here with Tom when they came in" George replied "at least this time they made it up the stairs fully clothed" George said as he remembered his old school friend laughing later when he picked up a shirt that was hooked over the upstairs landing.
"I think I'm getting more use to seeing Meredith in his clothes than in her own…or even in scrubs" Izzie laughed
-------------------------------------------
Meanwhile upstairs…
"Why do you always have to be right?" Meredith yelled turning to face Derek
"I'm not always right" he defended
"Yes you are your always right and you're always the best at everything. It sucks. It really sucks" she said, resuming her yelling
"Fine! I'm superman" he said, turning to open the door "I'm the best at everything! He said as he walked out of her room and headed to the stairs, when he reached the landing he heard her say "You're not the best I've ever had" and although she hadn't said it to him it had still cut deep. He thumped down the stairs and opened the front door feeling the anger rise in him more and more.
--------------------------------------------
Meredith threw herself on the bed, she was exhausted and all she wanted to do was sleep but with Derek and her fight revolving around her head she couldn't get to sleep, she just lay their tossing and turning until she finally gave up and traipsed down stairs.
"Sorry" Meredith mumbled as she passed Izzie and George who were still sitting on the couch. They just smiled and let her pass on her way to the kitchen, but after a couple of minutes Izzie got up to go and talk to her as she heard the fridge door slam for the third time.
"What did he do" Izzie asked, pushing the draw in so that the fridge door would stay closed and calmly handing the chocolate spread to Meredith.
"He's just being him!" she sighed dropping her head to her hands and falling into the closest chair. "Why does he have to be so right-so good at everything? It's hard you know when he is perfect"
Izzie grabbed two spoons from the draw and she and Meredith sat silently, eating the chocolate spread straight from the jar. After a short time Izzie added with a smile "Apparently he's not the best at everything"
Meredith's face fell "Oh god-please tell me didn't hear what I think you heard" she said taking an extra big scoop of chocolate.
Izzie waited until Meredith had the spoon in her mouth before slowly nodding her head, knowing Meredith was realizing that if they heard it Derek would have as well. She gave her friends hand a quick squeeze before heading back to the couch.
Feeling worse Meredith got up and dropped her spoon in the sink, only subconsciously knowing that it wasn't the chocolate making her feel bad, but the realization that Derek had heard what she meant to say under her breath. With exhaustion waving over her body again she said good night to her room mates and headed back to her room, not bothering to change before falling into bed.
-----------------------------------
Derek had cooled down by the time he got to his trailer; he had run the fight over and over again in his head, cursing her the whole time for saying the things she said. He unloaded the shopping and made himself dinner, there was way too much for just him as he and Meredith had been planning to come back to his place and have dinner together, he sighed as he put her portion in the fridge. Feeling tied he sat down and put in an old video, collapsing onto the couch.
Half way through the movie, he noticed that he hadn't been paying attention to it as his and Meredith's fight had crept back into his mind. He couldn't let it go, it was their first big one since they had gotten back together and the very first where neither hadn't apologized straight after it. Hoping to clear his head and get some perspective he pulled on his runners and stepped outside into the fresh night air. As he ran around the fence line of his property he instantly felt better but couldn't figure out why.
It wasn't until he was standing in the shower, washing away all the sweat and mud that he realized.
-------------------------------------------
Meredith grimaced when she woke up; her body ached from falling asleep in such an awkward way and her stomach rumbled, from still not have being fed. After tip toeing down stairs and making a sandwich she sat at the kitchen table and mused as to whether or not to call Derek and apologize, she hated the thought of going back to bed without having made up with him. However as she reached for the phone she caught sight of the clock and decided he probably wouldn't want a call at two in the morning-no matter how sorry she was.
Heading back to her room she decided to have a shower and try to get some more sleep before ringing him later in the day.
-------------------------------------------
Derek pulled on some clothes and grabbed his car keys before running out the door. When he reached Meredith's he preyed that she wouldn't angrier as he felt along the top of the door frame for the spare key. He remembered from the first time they were dating that he had seen her use it one day when she locked herself out.
He gently eased the door open before replacing the key, looking up at the stairs he could see a dim light coming from her bedroom-he stood their frozen, not quite knowing what to do. He hadn't thought past getting into her house in the car and now had to think of a new plan. Not wanting to scare her by just walking in he toyed with the idea of sleeping on the couch until she found him in the morning, but with the knowledge she was awake this idea was quickly dismissed. Deciding to ditch the plan idea he headed up the stairs, hoping to successfully 'wing-it'.
-------------------------------------------
Meredith was stepping out of the shower when she heard footsteps outside her room, but not worrying as she had become accustomed to living with room mates who like her had very odd sleeping habits due to their jobs. After drying herself off she wrapped what had become 'his' towel around herself and let her hair down.
She was however surprised when she opened the door between her ensuit and bedroom to find Derek walking in from the hall. He looked up at her with the big puppy dog eyes that always made her heart melt, but she held her hand up as he started to say something motioning for him to close the door first.
"I'm sorry" she said in a whispered tone, stepping towards him.
"Me too" he said taking her in his arms
"It was just that I was so tied" she started, trying to explain her sudden outburst.
"Mer" he said trying to find his words "it's ok" he finally added, kissing her forehead
"No its not" she mumbled "What I said…it was horrible and it wasn't true" she said taking her head off his chest and pulling back slightly to look at his eyes.
"I was in the shower at home when I realized I wasn't mad at you about the fight, I was jealous of the guy you had been with before, I'm sorry I stormed off"
She just nodded and smiled in response, relieved that they could put the fight behind them.
"Well" he said, a smile spreading onto his face "I don't know about you, but I think I may have something to prove"
"Derek you don't have to prove anything, I already know" but he shushed her with a finger to her lips
"But I really want to" he said, his smile growing
"What ever you say Dr Sheppard" she whispered, wrapping her hands around his neck and standing on her toes, pulling him into an intense kiss.
He let out a slight "whoops" against her lips as he unhooked the towel from around her body, stepping back slightly as to let it fall.
She smiled at his actions and grabbed his ass, pulling him back towards the bed and on top of herself. He eagerly kissed her neck and let his hands roam her naked body, enjoying the feeling of her still slightly damp skin against his.
She felt him harden against her leg as he toyed with the nipple in his mouth. She moaned as he flicked it with his tongue before sucking it through his teeth. As he started to kiss down her stomach, letting his hands continue fondling her breasts, but she pulled him back to her mouth and rolled them over. She straddled him with her legs and pushed her hips back so that she could feel him between her legs through his pants. Running her hands down his chest she undid the buttons on his shirt and lent down to lightly bite at his stomach.
She moaned loudly when he placed both hands on her ass and slid her up himself, so that he could free himself of his pants. She raised herself onto her hands and knees over him as he kicked off his boxers, leaning down to kiss him on the mouth. Sitting back on him she resumed her original position so that she could feel him swell against her, placing her hands on his stomach, he groaned when she began to rock against him.
Although not inside her yet he could feel every prickle of sensation as she pushed her hips back and forth against the hard heal of his penis. Not being able to stand it any more he pulled her towards him and rolled over on top of her, kissing her passionately while letting his hands rub against her. She let her hips drop apart and whimpered as he pulled away from her mouth to enter her.
Pinning her to the bed by holding each of her hands in his own, he resumed his rhythm enjoying watching her face tingle with delight. When her tongue darted down to wet her lips, he lent down and kissed her hard, happy when she responded so enthusiastically. Releasing her hands, he swept a hand across her forehead to move the hair from her eyes.
Wrapping her legs higher around him and pulling him closer she half-screamed out his name as and joined his movements.
When they collapsed onto the bed and she curled into him 'wow' was all she could think as she tried to regain her breath.
"Meredith…that was…amazing" he gasped, between breaths.
"Hmmm" is all she could manage as she turned to kiss him, even though her lungs where still burning.
----------------------------------------------
"I guess they made up then" Izzie said as she saw George leaning over the coffee pot
"More than once" he grumbled in response, as he poured two cups of coffee.
----------------------------------------------
"Maybe I should comment on your driving skills more often if that is how we make up" he said when he saw her eyes flutter open in the morning.
"Ok" she smiled winding her legs around his "but can we skip the fight and just go onto the making-up next time?" She asked "that's definitely my favourite part".
