Endless Summer Nights - Richard Marx
Meredith walks towards her group of friends who are sitting at a table on the deck. She knows that she is going to get the third degree from her friends about last night, but she doesn't care. Her eyes scan the other tables on the deck and she gasps when her green eyes meet his blue. She smiles at him as she continues to walk towards her group of friends.
Cristina: What the hell, Meredith?
Meredith jerks her head towards Cristina as she tears her eyes away from his. She notices that all of her friends are staring at her. Meredith plops down in the chair as she pulls down her sunglasses.
Meredith: What?
Cristina smirks.
Cristina: You so got laid last night.
Meredith shoots her a glance.
Meredith: How can you tell?
Cristina: You have the after sex glow.
Meredith just shrugs as she leans back in her chair.
Meredith: Jealous?
Cristina: Hell yeah.
Meredith giggles as Cristina arches her eyebrow.
Cristina: Was it any good? Cause he looks like he would be good.
Cristina glances over at Derek and notices that he is staring at Meredith.
Cristina: And he is undressing you with his eyes right now.
Meredith turns her head and her eyes meet his. He smiles his McDreamy smile at her as he tilts his head to the side. Meredith bites on her bottom lips as she stares into his deep blue eyes as she feels the heat of her core increase.
Cristina clears her throat next to Meredith, causing Meredith to break her gaze with Derek.
Cristina: So, what does he do?
Meredith shrugs.
Meredith: I don't know.
Cristina: You don't know?
Meredith: No. And while I have you guys all here, do not mention my last name or the fact that I'm going to medical school in the fall.
Cristina arches her eyebrow and opens her mouth to speak, but Izzie beats her to it.
Izzie: Why?
Meredith: Because, I think it is better if we don't know how to find each other after this cruise is over. There is no point in trying to have a long distance relationship and there is no point in pretending that it will even work.
Cristain: Nice. Just when I begin to think your boring, you rise.
Meredith glances back over at Derek and she notices that his eyes are still on her.
Meredith: Whatever. If you guys are just going to give me hell, I will leave.
Cristina: Something better to do? Or should I say someone better to do?
The table erupts into a fit of laughter and Meredith turns to glare at them all. She picks a strawberry up off of the plate and takes a slow, sensuous bite, knowing that he is watching her.
Meredith (standing up): You know what, I do. Especially if you guys are going to be a bunch of asses.
Meredith ignores the stunned looks on all of their faces as she turns around and walks away from their table. She looks at Derek and notices the confused look on his face. She smirks at him. She could have some fun. She could, but should she? Why the hell not?
She redirects her steps towards Derek, very much aware of the four pairs of eyes that are staring at her back.
Derek's eyes widen in surprise as he notices her walking towards him. Her walk is confident and her eyes are fierce, turning him on even more. He swallows when she is only feet away, ignoring the questions that Mark is asking him. The only thing that he is registering is Meredith.
When Meredith reaches Derek she straddles his lap, his hands come to rest instinctively on her hips as he looks at her confused. She runs her fingers through his hair, massaging his scalp, before her lips crash down on his. Derek's gasp of shock turns into a groan of pleasure as Meredith forces her tongue into Derek's mouth.
He moves his hands from his hips to her hair as he tastes the strawberry that she just ate in the sweet saliva in her mouth. She moves her hips slightly, brushing his penis, and he emits a low growl into her mouth. Their tongues battle for control as the heat of the kiss increase.
Meredith finally pulls away when breathing becomes a necessity. Derek smirks at her as he brushes a strand of hair out of her face.
Derek: Hello.
Meredith: Hey.
Derek: So...
Meredith giggles as she blushes slightly. She can feel his erection beneath her.
Mark: That was one hell of a hello. Don't I get one?
Meredith jerks her head around and for the first time notices the other person at the table. Her mouth falls open slightly as she blushes even more. Derek glares at his friend.
Derek: Shut the hell up, Mark.
Mark smirks.
Mark: Aren't you going to introduce me, Derek?
Derek wraps his arms protectively around Meredith's waist as he glares at Mark over her shoulder.
Derek: No, Mark. I am not going to introduce you, you ass.
Derek looks at Meredith.
Derek: That asshole is Mark, manwhore extroidinaire.
Meredith giggles as she buries her face in Derek's neck, inhaling his masculine scent. She has this feeling in the pit of her stomach. It is a light feeling, almost like butterflies, but it isn't nerves. She doesn't know what it is. She just knows that it is new and that she likes it.
She can feel the smooth skin of Derek's face against her ear and she nuzzles further into him. His hands move over her spine as he relishes in the feeling of holding her in his arms. He inhales the scent of her hair. He needs to ask her what it is, because it is becoming his drug of choice. She is becoming his drug of choice.
Derek: You look beautiful..
When Derek speaks, his mouth is close to Meredith's ear and the haet of his breath sends chills down her spine. Meredith leans back so that she can look him in the eyes. She notices that her tube top is falling down slightly and she giggles as she pulls it back up. Derek chuckles at her as he pretends to tug it back down.
Mark watches his friend with a shocked expression. He hasn't seen Derek looks this happy, well, ever. He looks carefree and extremely happy. He gets up and leaves the table unnoticed by the others. He doesn't need to be infected by Derek's extreme sappiness.
Meredith leans her forehead against Derek's as plays with the ends of her hair.
Meredith: Are you enjoying your trip thus far?
Derek smiles at her.
Derek: Having the best time of my life. You?
Meredith giggles.
Meredith: Ditto.
Derek (chuckling): Ditto?
Meredith just nods.
They sit there for a moment, just staring into each other's eyes and playing with one another's hair.
Meredith: Derek?
Derek: Yes, Meredith?
Meredith: Show me your room.
Derek's eyes light up as he brushes his lips softly across hers. Meredith gets up off of his lap and reaches out her hand to him. Derek smiles as he reaches up and grabs her hand before standing up.
Anyone watching would think that the two were on their honeymoon. They appear to be two young people who are very much in love to anyone looking in. In fact, the only two people who don't know that Derek loves Meredith and Meredith loves Derek are Derek and Meredith. They believe that these things take time. That these things don't happen with just one look or in just one night.
Meredith and Derek walk towards Derek's room hand in hand, oblivious to the stares that follow them with envious eyes. Their feeling for each other are already stronger than any they have ever felt before, but they won't acknowledge them. They will pretend that they don't exist as they get lost in the moment because they are too afraid to think about the future, a future that is without the other.
