AN: First of all; sorry for the late update. I'm pretty busy with my postgraduate studies, so that's the reason for the delay. Second; this is the last chapter. Enjoy it while it lasts! J

Nathan was a real gentleman, which surprised Meredith. She had no doubts that he would be polite despite his usual cockiness, but he was an all-in gentleman. She didn't know which side of him she liked the best. Was it the cocky doctor, the flirtatious Riggs, or the gentleman Nathan? Well, she luckily she didn't have to choose.

.-.-.

In the car to the restaurant they hadn't talked that much, most of the ride they had just been sitting grinning like idiots for themselves. They had both tried to come up with something to talk about, but the other person always twisted it. Like when Meredith started talking about his car.

"I like your car." Meredith said out of the blue.

"Yeah, me too, although I have better memories in your car than in mine." Riggs replied with a huge smile on his face.

Meredith let a "Shut up" out and her cheeks turned red instantly.

"Just saying, we had a good time, I wouldn't mind repeating it."

Riggs had also tried;

"Zola is an adorable little girl, and I think she liked me."

"Really Nathan? Don't you think a first date is a bit too early to be talking about kids?"

"Don't flatter yourself, I don't want you that bad."

"Is that so? Didn't you just trick me into going on a date with you, after I've been rejecting you for months?"

"You and I both know why you rejected me, and it was not because you weren't into me."

.-.-.

The restaurant Riggs had chosen was a really nice and cozy place, not too fancy. She liked his taste. The conversation went smoothly at the restaurant. Unlike their usual conversations, this one didn't include Maggie or work. They shared stories, both funny and more emotional.

After leaving the restaurant they took a walk, since neither of them wanted the date to end. They came across a waffle stand, and decided to get their second desert. When they were walking back to the car, and had finished their waffles, their hands intertwined. They both felt the butterflies when their hands intertwined, even though they had already seen each other naked. It was like they were teenagers again.

Being the gentleman he apparently was, he drove her back home. When the car stopped they looked at each other, and Meredith said "How about…" she hesitated a bit "…you start the car again, and we go to your place?" she asked.

"My car is not fancy enough for you?" He asked with a wink in his eyes.

"You know I can change my mind!" She said. Oh god he really knew how to be annoying and charming at the same time.

"I'm just kidding Meredith, I would like you to accompany me back home." And they left the driveway outside Meredith's home.

They arrived at his place.

"This is a nice place you have." She was sitting on the couch in his living room.

"Thank you" he said as he handed her a drink and sat down next to her.

"I really enjoyed tonight."

"So did I, I'm actually really glad that Maggie convinced us to do did this." He said.

"Me too. But I'm still mad at you, Maggie and Alex."

"How can I make that up to?" He said as he leaned in for a kiss. This was the first kiss they had shared since that night.

"Maybe, I'll you off the hook this time."

"Does this mean I can kiss you in public?"

"How about we keep this a secret for a couple of days first."

"I'm good with that, just not too long." They agreed on this.

A few hours later.

*Phone ringing*

"Nathan! Pick up your phone." Meredith was not ready to wake up yet, it was too early.

"Sorry" he said as he rolled over and picked it up.

"I need you at the hospital ASAP." The person on the other end said. He could hear that it was Dr. Bailey.

"It's the hospital" he whispered to Meredith.

"I can be there in a half hour." He answered.

"Wait a second, who am I talking to?" The Bailey asked.

"Riggs, why?"

"Because I called Dr. Grey!"

"Oh..." was all he could say as he noticed that it was Meredith's phone.

Meredith seemed a bit confused as she looked at him, when he handed her the phone. "I guess our secret is out. It's the chief."

The End.

AN: It's not that I don't want to continue this story, I just don't have the imagination. I'm not good at long stories, so I hoped you liked it and who knows, maybe I'll make another short Merthan fanfic. Shout out to Jackiiiieeee111, , and NewHope93 for continuous support through the whole story!
