Part 2

She found her blue jeep almost unconsciously guiding itself to the restaurant. Her clock read 5:00 AM. She looked at her hair one last time in the mirror before getting out of the car. Derek's black Lexus was there, and she figured it was safe to go in. Once inside the door, she saw Derek sipping coffee. His hair was a mess, but he looked adorable. He spotted her and stood up as she approached the table. "I was getting worried you might not show," Derek said as he pulled her close and gave her a peck on the cheek.

A waitress came up to their table and filled up Derek's cup with coffee and set a mug down for Meredith. "Yes, we were about to start placing bets," the woman joked.

Derek jumped right into the conversation, seemingly interested in every word coming out of Meredith's mouth. He commented on her shirt and asked about her college and Med School experiences…

Meredith and Derek were deep in conversation when they heard the bell at the door sound. An all too familiar voice entered the room. "Oh Shit!" Meredith whispered, "Bailey."

"What?" Derek questioned before figuring out what she was looking at.

Meredith saw ideas flashing through Derek's head as Bailey came closer. She saw Derek's facial expression change, and Meredith knew he had devised a plan.

"Dr. Bailey," Derek motioned, "come sit with us!" Meredith's eyes grew larger as she could not believe the words that had just come out of Derek's mouth. She put the pieces together, however, as he told Bailey how he had seen Meredith having an early breakfast alone and decided to join her. Dr. Bailey sat down with her eyes on both Derek and Meredith the whole time. They completed the meal together with awkward, yet flowing conversation. Finally, Bailey got up from the table to leave. "Meredith, I suppose I will see you at the hospital in 20 minutes, no later. You have rounds. Thank you, Dr. Shepherd," Bailey said as Derek took the bill from her hands. Finally, Bailey walked off as the door shut behind her.

Meredith and Derek proceeded to burst out in a very loud laughing fit, both in shock of how they had pulled that off. After paying for three meals, Derek held the door open for Meredith and walked her to her car. He proceeded to give her a kiss on the cheek, which slowly moved to her lips. She could feel his lips; they were warm and soft. She allowed his tongue to trace the inside of her mouth and continued to drift off for a moment before pulling away. "Derek," she reluctantly whispered, "we can't do this, it's too risky. We wont always be as lucky as we were this morning, you're my boss, and so is Bailey."

"Meredith," he said softly, "I'm ready to try this. I think fate brought us together and I don't want to let go."

"I'm not ready for this," she said, breaking their connected gaze, "Thank you for breakfast Derek, I mean Dr. Shepherd." She hated the fact that she had to pull away. Damn, his sad eyes were enough to make her weak at the knees.

"This is not the end," he stated in a witty tone, "but for now…I'll see you at the hospital, Meredith. 7:30 craniotomy." He kissed her hand and walked off. Meredith got in her car and dropped her head down on the steering wheel. Damn… it was all she could think.
