Disclaimer: See first chapter. I don't own Central Park and I'm not sure if they have stables across the street. I don't own the Hilton and it's not on the corner of Worth and River... It's on 6th street (gotta love the internet.)

Chapter 2: Start of Something New

"Who is that guy? Kelly asked. This guy was so handsome, he took her breath away.

"That's Derek Shepherd. He's going to come over here and introduce himself to you." Meredith said, she was still looking at the person behind Derek.

"Wait, that's the Derek Shepherd? The one you like loved and then he turned out to be married?" Kelly asked. She hadn't known he was that good looking.

"That's the one, we're just friends now. He and his wife, Addison, just got divorced, I'm also her friend. You'd think I'd hate her, but she's so nice." Meredith replied.

"Who are you looking at? You wouldn't get pale looking at your friend. Are you looking at that cute guy that looks like Shadow when he wants chicken?" Kelly asked mentioning her beloved dog who loved chicken.

"That's George; he used to be my friend."

"He's not anymore?" Kelly asked.

"No, they're still friends, but she likes him as more." Derek said cutting in. He turned to Kelly. "I'm Derek Shepherd; I'm thinking you're Kelly Garrison, the resident from New York City?"

"Yeah, it's nice to meet you." Kelly said shaking hands with Derek. When he let go, her hand was tingly.

"It's nice to meet a fellow New Yorker, how's Central Park doing? I heard it took a hit after that last storm."

"Oh, they've gotten it back to its former glory; they've even gotten more horses in the stables across the street for carriage rides." Kelly replied. "I love the carriage rides but the ferries are my favorite. I have a thing for ferryboats. It's a little strange but, I love the water."

"No, it's not strange at all; I also have a thing for ferryboats. Oh Meredith, Addison wanted to talk to you about something, and happy birthday, we're all going out to dinner tonight, you should join us Kelly." Derek mentioned.

"I think I might take you up on that offer. I just don't have a car yet, and I don't know the number for the taxi place." Kelly replied.

"Oh, Derek can take you. I'll be back later, Kell. You're gonna stay at my place right?" Meredith answered for Derek.

"Yeah, thanks, I paid for 2 nights at the hotel so I'll be there on Saturday. I'll talk to you later." Kelly told her. She turned to Derek. "Is it alright that you're taking me? Meredith just like answered for you." Kelly said smiling a beautiful smile in Derek's opinion.

"Yeah, it's fine. I'll just pick you up at your hotel say like 8:00?" Derek asked.

"Sure, that's fine. It's the Hilton on the corner of Worth and River, room 712." Kelly told him.

"So, I'll see you later then." Derek replied smiling his McDreamy smile.

"Thanks again Derek, it means a lot to me, I haven't seen Mer in like 2 years." With that Kelly left to go back to her hotel.

"You still got it, McDreamy." Addison said laughing at Derek's conspicuous grin. Even though they had divorced, Derek and Addison were still good friends. They had to be if they worked together.

"I have a thing for redheads." Derek said still smiling.

"Derek are you sure you want to get involved with Meredith's best friend and you know she's only gonna be here for a short time." Addison asked.

"It's a risk I'm willing to take to see that smile again."
