Derek was still angry he couldn't take the gossip everybody seemed to know
'You think he is in love with her'
'He is a cheater'
'Doesn't he care about his wife'
He heard whispers like that behind his back all day long and he was ready to go home when his pager went off but he quickly smiled when he saw Meredith was paging him to go to the roof
"Hey" He said as he reached the roof
"Hi" Meredith said she wa leaning on the small wall
"Are we..." Derek was cutted off
"Yeah we are alone Nathan doesn't know I am here" Meredith said
"Ok"
"So there are many rumours we both know them the thing is one of them is true" Meredith said and Derek struggled to understand which "Richard is trying to break me and Nathan off" Meredith started trying to take it slow
"What that is ridiculous" Derek didn't believe it Richard didn't do stuff like that
"That is what I thought but its true he is I don't know why but the nurses say that Bailey told him off last night and that he admited that he wants us back together" Meredith said and felt ridiculous saying it
"Meredith that doesn't make sense he called Addison and Nathan he made sure we weren't together"
"Yeah that is what I thought and then I thought what if he thinks that is the only way to get me away from Nathan"
"Why would he want you to get away from Nathan?"
"Derek when I left him there were people saying things..." Meredith said and while it would be obvious to anybody with a brain he was brainless "They said that it was an abusive relationship"
"What come on he can't hurt a fly" Derek said in suprise and then he corrected "Ok I won't say that again"
"Good idea... The thing is that I think you should know because I know that he can do really stupid things"
"Ok"
"Ok... I have to go I have a dinner date"
"Well I have to go down as well"
"Well ok"
Meanwhile:
"Nurse do you know where doctor sheperd is?"Addison asked
"I think he left"
"Thank you" Addison said truth is she was trying to keep tabs on where he is because she was afraid he would try to go back to Meredith lately it seemed that the promise he gave to stay away from her was just a joke
"Hey" Nathan said as he walked
"Hi... Wanna go for a drink?"Addison really didn't wanna go back to an empty trailer "You know talk about how my husband is sleeping with somebody"
"I would but I have plans with Meredith if it makes you feel better I would speak about my cheating girlfriend" Nathan said and looked down he has seen some weird things lately
"Oh no Meredith isn't..."
"I don't know lately she has a lot on her mind but it seems like she just doesn't care I mean when she found out about thacher the other day... Well I still dont know where she went"
"Well maybe they are sleeping together" Addison joked and they laughed unitl the elevator doors opened and she saw Derek and Meredith alone in it talking and smiling
"You got to be kidding me" Nathan whispered but smiled
