A short chapter, sorry guys! The song is 'This Love' by Maroon 5, beautiful song, might I add, I love it. MerDer forever! Italicslyrics, no?

I was so high I did not recognize
The fire burning in her eyes
The chaos that controlled my mind
Whispered goodbye and she got on a plane
Never to return again
But always in my heart

They drove in silence back to Meredith's house. He knew she was drunk, and he didn't want anything to happen. Well, actually he did, but he was sure that Meredith did. Glancing over at her about every minute, her head remained in its place, against the window, her eyes wandering and scaning the city lights. All Derek could do was smile. She looked so peaceful and serene while she stared out the window.

Following every light that she could with her eyes, Meredith began to develop a headache. Absinthe and bright lights just do not mix. She felt like throwing up, but held it in her mouth, realizing that she was in Derek's car rather that ner own. Placing her hand on her head, she pulled away from the window, her hair still slightly sticking to it, and leaned back in her seat. She wanted to get home soon before she lost control. Urges swarmed her body; she wanted to touch him so badly, kiss him everywhere in anyway that she could. Grabbing his hand with her other, she clenched it tightly, hoping that it would help with her dirty intentions. Unfortunately, it didn't. He squeezed her hand back, just as hard, if not harder without hesitation.

This love has taken it's toll on me
She said goodbye too many times before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
I have no choice cause I won't say goodbye anymore

Meredith and Derek both made it all the way to her driveway with simply holding hands. He let out a deep sigh as he placed the car in park, turning the ignition off. Meredith could only do the same, still clenching his hand with her own, and fer forehead with her other. They sat there together, momentarily, in the quiet safety of his car. He looked over at Meredith, only to find her staring straight back at him. She took her hand off of her head, placing it gently on her own lap. No sound, no noise disturturbed them as they gazed intently at each other.

Sighing once more, Derek broke their gaze to look at the house, "You should go in. It's late. George and Izzie will be looking for you."

She continued her stare, now at the side of his head, waiting for him to return it once more, "George and Izzie are both on call tonight." Now looking back at Meredith, he knew this wasn't going to turn out well. He knew what she was thinking, and he was thinking the same. He didn't want to be, but he was. He decided that he was not going to go inside with her, or was he? His eyes shot to and fro looking at every single thing in the car, trying to make up his mind. He wanted her so badly, but it would be so wrong. "Derek," she whispered softly, trying to regain his attention. It worked -- his eyes shot straight back to hers. She looked sleepy, almost sad, and definently drunk, but so beautiful. He couldn't take his eye off of her. "Derek," she bagan again, still whispering, "I'm afraid, will you walk me up to the door?"

I'll fix these broken things
Repair your broken wings
And make sure everything's alright
My pressure on her hips
Sinking my fingertips
Into every inch of you
Cause I know that's what you want me to do

Seeing no harm in simply walking her up to the house, he nodded, hesitating to let go of her hand. It felt too right to be wrong. Opening the door, he quickly rushed to the other side of the car, opening it for Meredith before she had the chance to do it herself. He took her by the hand once more and led her up to the front door of her house. "Are you sure that you will be ok alone tonight?" His thoughts accidentaly slipping out of his mouth.

She smiled at him, tilting her head and biting her bottom lip. He couldn't help but smile back, she was just so adorable. "No," was her giddy response. Still smiling, he placed his hand on the small of her back and led her inside. Quickly locking the door, and leaving all of the light off, they led each other up to Meredith's room, while showering each other with kisses and attention.
