Derek walked Meredith over to her car hand in hand. He opened her door for her.

"Derek can't you spend the night with me and tell her tomorrow?" Meredith looked at him with puppy dog eyes.

"So know your putting me off telling her."

"No I mean it won't make much difference her knowing tonight her knowing tomorrow." She grinned at him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him hard.

"Ahhh ok. Nut I'll have to make up an excuse of why I can't take her to dinner."

"Say that your mother needed you to urgently come over and if she asks why say she wouldn't tell you. I'm so smart."

"Ok I'll call her now." Derek pulled his phone out of his pocket and proceeded to make up an excuse of why he couldn't take her out to dinner. He hung up the phone and shook his head at Meredith. "She's not happy with me." Meredith laughed and shut her car door she waited for Derek to get into his car then drove off.


Derek's phone began to ring as he was on his way to Meredith's.

"Hello?" he asked.

"Hey Der."

"Meredith?"

"Yeah I was just calling to say hang back until I call you ok so I can talk to Izzie and George."

"Ok I'll see you later."

"Bye." Meredith hung up the phone and pulled into her driveway. Meredith walked into the house with a huge smile on her face. George and Izzie who were in the lunge room came rushing up to her.

"Oh my god Meredith we were so worried about you. Where were you?" Izzie exclaimed.

"I'm fine I was down at the harbor." She grinned thinking back to what happened there.

"Meredith are you alright you look…happy." George looked concerned. "You haven't been taking drugs have you?"

Meredith laughed "No George. Listen I need to talk to you guys ok."

"Ok" Izzie and George said worried looks on there faces. Meredith continued to smile and suddenly slipped into a day dream remembering how passionate Derek's kiss had been.

"Oh no I know that look." Izzie said disbelieved. "You're back together with him. He signed the papers!" Izzie jumped at with a hug Meredith who was in shock of how easily Izzie guessed.

"Oh Mer that's great!" George said happily for his friend although a bit disappointed because he still had feelings for her. Meredith's phone began to ring.

"Hello?"

"Hey. Is it ok if I come over now? I bought some wine down at the liquor store."

"Yeah you can see you soon." Meredith hung up.

"So am I making dinner for four?" Izzie asked.

"Um yeah." Meredith replied.

"So has he told her?" George said frowning.

"He wanted to tell her tonight but I told him to wait until tomorrow because I wanted to spend the night with him."

"So now you're putting him off telling her?" Izzie said unsure of why Meredith would do that.

"No his telling her tomorrow at work."

Izzie frowned at Meredith "You're evil. You want to make a seen at work don't you. So now you can give pathetic smiles to her." Izzie shook her head.

"No I'm not! I will not sink to her level." Meredith half yelled. There was a knock at the door. Meredith went to answer it but Izzie jumped in front of her. Izzie opened the door and hugged Derek who wasn't entirely sure of what was going on.

"Thank you Derek thank you so much I was getting sick of and having to look after watching her walk around miserly."

"Uh no problems Izzie." Derek said stunned. He walked through the door only to have George jump on him and wrap his legs around him so Derek was holding him. Meredith laughed seeing the look on Derek's face.

"Thank you soooo much Dr.Sheppard I wouldn't of been able to handle her anymore!" he exclaimed.

"Its ok George do you mind getting off me."

"Oh yeah sorry." George jumped down in embarrassment and went into the kitchen with Izzie to help with dinner.

Meredith was still laughing when Derek came up to her and kissed her passionately. When he let her go she smiled then continued to laugh.

"It's not funny." He stared at her as she sat back onto the steps before she collapsed from laughing.

"It's…hil…ar...ious!" she manged to get out between breaths. He picked her up so she was in a similar position to George and carried her to the kitchen where he placed her on the bench. He stepped back and sat down on a chair.

"Jeeze Mer are you alright?" Izzie looked concerned. She looked at Derek, he shrugged. "Ok I think she's delirious." Meredith stopped laughing and faced Izzie.

"I'm not delirious Iz you did not see Derek's face when George jumped on him." She laughed at the memory of it.

After dinner Derek and Meredith went to bed. Derek couldn't get to sleep and although Meredith's back was towards him she could tell. "What's wrong Mc.Dreamy?" she said as she turned towards him.

"Just thinking about what I'm going to say that's all." Meredith smiled a warm smiled at him which made him melt.

"Its going to be alright. We'll get through this…together." Derek planted a kiss on her lips to show his appreciation. She was right.
