Here is the second chapter...Thanks to AlotLikeMeredith for telling me how to add a chapter : )
At this very moment Derek could name probably just about a thousand places he would rather be standing than in Meredith's foyer with a half naked veterinarian, about to declare his love for her.
"I just came to talk to you about something, but clearly this isn't my best timing" Derek said pretending to be completely okay with this situation.
"Oh, right, um…Derek you know Finn obviously …um Finn do you mind giving Derek and I a minute to talk?"
"Sure no problem, Mer…I'll just go upstairs and wait for you. Nice seeing you again Derek"
"right…yeah…nice seeing you too" replied Derek with a tone in his voice that was more than a little disappointed.
Finn walked up the stairs to Meredith's room leaving the two of them to talk.
"Derek, you know I was planning on telling you about me and him but I just wanted to wait until it became more serious, you understand right?"
"yeah, I understand…I think I should go"
"Wait, now that we're alone why don't you tell me what you wanted when you came here" Meredith said trying not to sound too curious.
"No, I'll wait until a better time…just go back to whatever it was you were doing" Did those words actually just come out of my mouth…seriously?…go back to what you were doing…great.
"Derek what is with you?" she asked chuckling
"Look…just meet me outside your locker room tomorrow and we'll finish this conversation"
"You consider this a conversation…seriously?"
"Bye Meredith" Derek said with what was his first genuine smile of the night.
"See ya"
The next morning Derek sat up in bed trying to think of how he could tell Meredith he wanted her back. Now that Finn was in the picture this didn't exactly make his job easier.
"So McDreamy is actually okay with you dating the vet?" Christina said acting overly amused by Meredith's newest problem.
"Why wouldn't he be? I mean he has a wife, it's not as if he's pining after me…he dumped me, remember?"
"A little sensitive about the issue, are we?" Christina mocked
"Shouldn't you be prepping for rounds or something?" Meredith said as she left the locker room.
"Hey, there you are" Derek whispered to her giving her a sexy smile
"Yeah, here I am…so what is it that you wanted to say to me?"
"What's the rush? Let's go for a walk"
"So Mer, how serious are you about this Finn guy?" Derek asked trying to act nonchalant
When Meredith hesitated for over a minute, Derek took this as his cue to make his move. He wasn't sure what came over him but at the moment he wanted nothing more than to kiss her…so he did.
As much as Meredith would hate to admit it she kissed him back with equal if not greater passion than he had intended. Of course that was until she brain actually began to function again and she pulled away smacking him in the arm and yelling "What the hell was that?"
"I'm not even sorry" Derek replied laughing as he walked away causally, looking back once more to give her that infamous smirk.
Meredith stood in that hallway for that seemed like eternity, touching her lips and smiling slightly despite the fact that she was furious with him. This is going to be a long day.
