It had been along day for the interns especially Meredith. With Addison giving her smug looks all day and Derek continuously asking how she was.
Meredith was walking out of the locker room ready to go home when he approached her again.
"Uhhh this better be about work and if it isn't don't ask me how I am. Because seriously I've had enough people asking me that today as it is."
"Meredith-"
"Dr.Sheppard you chose her so why are you so worried about me shouldn't you be focused on saving your marriage."
"I just-"
"Sheppard don't you have patients to attend to before you leave." Bailey came up behind them hearing most of their convosation. Derek looked defeated and walked away.
"Thank you." Is all Meredith could manage.
"Grey I-"
"Please Dr.Bailey I don't need anymore people asking how I am."
"Grey I'm not going to I'm going to do something that someone should have done a long time ago." Bailey moved closer to Meredith and hugged her. Meredith looked shocked. "Meredith I'm in your corner."
"Thank you." Meredith said a little bewildered. Bailey pulled away from her to see her interns standing there in shock.
"All of you get back to work!" She yelled at them.
"Oh no bailey that isn't going to work anymore. We just found out you have a heart." Alex laughed.
"Ha ha ha Karev. You're doing notes for the rest of your shift. Meredith I suggest you go home and relax." Meredith nodded her head in agreement with Bailey even though she wasn't going to. She needed to go somewhere and think.
"Derek" Addison called as she came into the attending locker room.
"Yeah?"
"Oh there you are I've been looking for you all day. So I was thinking we would go out tonight. I mean I don't get off for another 3 hours but do you think you could pick me up?"
"Of course. I'm going out right now though."
"Really where?"
"Down to the harbor."
"Oh right you have that thing for Ferry boats now hey."
"Yeah." Derek smiled.
"Ok well I'll see you later then." She walked out of the room. A few minutes later Derek did the same. He hopped into his car and found himself wondering where Meredith was. Why am I thinking about her? He thought
Meredith pulled up to her destination and sat down on the bench looking over the harbor. She asked herself the questions she must have asked herself a million times. "Why did he choose her? Am I not good enough? Why is my life so screwed?" She couldn't really find answers for any of these, though she tried hard. She sat for a long time just thinking and staring into the distance. "Jeeze I wish I had some Tequila." She thought.
Derek pulled up to the harbor and noticed someone sitting on his favorite bench. He decided to sit on the one next to it. But as he came closer he noticed it was Meredith. All he could to is smile of course she would come here. He sat next to her. She knew it was him without even turning her head slightly.
"What are you stalking me know?" she said annoyed that he was here. But part of her was happy.
He looked at her shocked. "What you think I would know you were going to be here?"
"Possibly." He smiled at her. "Ohhh" she thought "Why did he have to smile that knee melting smile? Its not fair!".
"Listen Mer-"
"Just don't Derek." Meredith turned away from him hiding her tears. "You don't need to make this harder then it already is."
"Ahhh but I was planning on making it easier." He gently moved Meredith's face so she was looking at him.
"Derek I-" But she was cut off by Derek's searing kiss.
"Meredith I love you. I made a mistake but I want to make it up to you in anyway I can. I've already taken the first step and signed the papers." He pulled out the papers for Meredith to see.
"Have you told her yet?"
"I'm planning on telling her tonight."
"Derek?"
"Yeah?"
"Please don't hurt me again. I don't think I'd be able to handle it." It began to pur down with rain.
"I promise I won't." He pulled her in for a passionate kiss.
