DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN GREY'S ANATOMY, I wish I did.
Meredith: Oh crap! (Derek jerked as he awoke.)
Derek: Wha--what?
Meredith: I was supposed to be the hospital and hour ago!
Derek: Shit. What time is it?
Meredith: 7am.
Derek: (Hurrying to get up. They were both still in the hammock.) I have surgery in 30 minutes. (They both jumped up and the hammock flipped sending them both to the ground.)
Meredith: (Heading towards her car, dusting herself off.) I have to go, Bailey's gonna kill me!
Derek: Wait! (He runs up and kisses her.) Good morning!
Meredith: Good morning! See you at the hospital.
Derek: Yep.
Meredith drove to the hospital frantically. They were both late. Hopefully people don't connect the two. How could she sleep so late? It was the best sleep she could ever remember. She felt so comfortable in Derek's arms, just their body heat keeping each other warm. She took the stairs to her floor, she couldn't wait for the elevator.
Bailey: Late night, Thompson?
Meredith: I'm so sorry, Dr. Bailey.
Bailey: I hope it was worth it. It was. Get your ass to the pit!
Meredith: Right away!
Chief: (Irritated.) Where the hell is Shepherd?
Bailey: I haven't seen him, Chief. (Derek runs up.)
Derek: Sorry. My car got stuck in the mud at my house. I finally got it out.
Chief: Well you need to get in the OR. Your patient has been prepped. Stevens is scrubbing in.
Derek: Sounds good.
As Meredith is walking towards the locker room she runs into Cristina.
Cristina: Where the hell have you been?
Meredith: My alarm didn't go off. (It did, she just wasn't home to hear it.)
Cristina: Did you even brush your hair? It looks like a rat's nest.
Meredith: Thanks! It's my new look. I have to get to the pit before Bailey kills me.
All day long all Meredith could think about was Derek. She needed him. He was the one. He was the guy. He was who she was supposed to spend the rest of her life with. How was she going to tell John? It would kill him. For the first time, she was going to do what she wanted to do. Meredith happily worked away in the pit, nothing could bring her down. She was in love. There were a lot of sutures to do, apparently there was a bar fight that involved 12 drunken fools. She got on the elevator to get more suture kits and looked into the bluest eyes.
Derek: (There was a nurse in the elevator.) Good afternoon, Dr. Thompson.
Meredith: Yes, it is, Dr. Shepherd. (The nurse got off. He walked over and kissed her.)
Derek: So, are you up for another date tonight?
Meredith: Yep, and you are going to cook for me. I will be there at 7pm.
Derek: OK. This is my floor. See you later. (He gives her that McDreamy look.)
Meredith returned to the pit. She was having fun with the drunken men. They were hitting on her, and she was playing along. She had never had so much fun at work. Bailey was smiling all day because she got her revenge shoving Meredith in the pit. Little did she know, Meredith was having a good time. Finally the day was over. She couldn't wait to see Derek. She changed into her street clothes and got ready to leave, but not before sliding something into her pocket.
Meredith pulled up to the trailer just before 7. She could see Derek cooking. Earlier he asked her what she wanted for dinner, and she had told him to surprise her. She was so excited. Every time she got to see Derek she felt this way. She had a schoolgirl crush on Derek and it was intense. He smiled when she saw her get out of the Jeep. He couldn't wait to kiss her, and look into her eyes.
Derek: Hello, beautiful.
Meredith: Hey yourself. (He kissed her.) So what did you make? I'm starved.
Derek: You'll see, sit down. (He had a white linen tablecloth on the table on the porch. There were flowers in a vase, and the table was set beautifully. He brought out soup first.)
Meredith: This is fantastic! Oh my God. You really made this?
Derek: Yes, I did. (The main course was chicken cordon bleu with vegetables and a seasoned potatoes. The food was fabulous. For dessert was cheesecake, her absolute favorite. Everything was perfect.)
Meredith: I'm impressed. You know that I can't cook, right?
Derek: You may have mentioned that before. But I will have to see for myself. I will be the guinea pig for you.
Meredith: So, when are you going to give me a tour of this mansion of yours?
Derek: Right now if you want. It may take a while. This place is huge. (They both laugh.)
Derek walks in and shows her around, which didn't take long. The tour ended at the bedroom.
Meredith: So, I am impressed. It's actually pretty nice in here. I could live here.
Derek: (Gets a puzzled look. Is that supposed to mean something?) Really?
Meredith: Yep. (Pushes down on the mattress with her hand.) Bed looks comfortable. (She jumps on the bed.) Come here... (Pulls him up.) Yep, it's comfortable. (She lays on her back.)
Derek: I think it is. I got it from--
Meredith: Derek.
Derek: Yeah.
Meredith: Shut up and kiss me. (He rolls over and kisses her on the mouth, she kisses him back. She needed him, she loved him. She rolls over and straddles him and begins unbuttoning his shirt. He pulls his shirt off as he is still kissing her. She slides her shirt over her head. He is in awe, she is so beautiful, so perfect. He undoes her bra, and slides it off exposing her breasts. He rolls her over and begins kissing her bare flesh. Meredith unbuttons his pants.)
Derek: Are you sure you are ready?
Meredith: Yeah...(She slides her hand in her pocket and pulls out a condom.) You will need this. I haven't been on birth control in 7 years.
Derek: Oh glow in the dark...
Meredith: I got it from the hospital. Put some glow on your light saber... (They chuckle.)
Derek continues to kiss her body. She hasn't felt that in so long. It just feels right. His tender lips caressing her body, his tongue exploring her flesh. He makes his way back up and kisses her lips. Meredith feels Derek enter her body. He looks at her face, into her eyes. Eyes that mirror his. Eyes full of need, full of love. He begins to thrust. With every thrust Meredith feels closer to the edge. This was perfect, this was meant to be. Derek has never felt this way about a woman. This wasn't just sex. This was love.
Meredith: Oh God, Derek! (She screams. Derek groans. They both climax together. He looks into her eyes.) That was...
Derek: (Out of breath.) Amazing.
Meredith: Yeah. Let's do it again... (Looks over at her wide-eyed.) 7 years is a long time.
They spent the whole night together. They couldn't get enough of each other. There was a need that they both felt. They needed to be together. When they were together, they felt whole.
The morning came quickly. At least this time they remembered to set an alarm. Derek cooked her waffles with strawberries and whipped cream. She was starving, she worked up an appetite last night.
Meredith: Last night was, wow.
Derek: Yeah, it was.
Meredith: I have to say, I'm impressed.
Derek: Me? You. I think it was worth 7 years!
Meredith: Yeah but...
Derek: What?
Meredith: I'm a whore. I, am a whore. I'm married. I can't believe I did it. It's the one thing I said I would never do.
Derek: Meredith...
Meredith: You know what is really bad?
Derek: What?
Meredith: I don't regret it. (Derek just cocks his head.) You, me. It's intense. I can't stop it. It's to strong. So, I am not going to try. (She smiles.) So, I need to take a shower. (She gets up.) You coming. (Derek jumps right up and joins her in the shower. Afterwards they got dressed. Meredith brought clean clothes with her this time.)
Derek: Who knew the shower could be so slippery. (He gives her a sly smile.)
Meredith: Well, we know now. I gotta get to work. I don't need Bailey riding my ass.
Derek: I have a consult this morning. I'll see you there. Oh, by the way... I want a date tonight.
Meredith: OK.
Derek: You are cooking for me.
Meredith: Are you sure you want that?
Derek: You bet. (Kisses her.) See you later.
Derek drove right behind her in the car. He went around the block by the hospital so he would be pulling in from the opposite direction. He pulled up next to her spot.
Derek: Good Morning, Dr. Thompson!
Meredith: Yes, it is. (She smiles.)
They ride up in the elevator together. No one else was in there. They were all over each other. The minute the door beeped, they stood on the opposite side of the elevator. Meredith happily walked to the locker room.
Cristina: Why are you so happy?
Meredith: It's a beautiful day, Dr. Yang.
Bailey came in and gave everyone their assignments. Meredith caught a glance of Derek in the hallway. She felt jittery all over. She needed him again. He was like candy and she craved her man candy. Meredith pulled Izzie into and empty patient room.
Meredith: So, hypothetically, this beast you speak of, how would one get rid of it?
Izzie: Beast? ( Meredith gives her a look.) Oh, that beast! Well, the beast is like an out-of-town relative that comes to stay at your house. It's hard to get rid of. First of all you cannot feed it! (Meredith frowns.) If it has been fed, it's a little harder. You will just have to ride it out. Ignore the beast. Do not feed the beast! (They do not know that Alex is outside listening.)
Meredith: I think that may be a problem.
Izzie: You--
Meredith: I caved. The beast had a feast last night. A never ending feast. A five course meal, a buffet. The beast also had breakfast. The food was phenomenal. The beast is screaming for more.
Izzie: So it was good? (Izzie assumes she is talking about John, as does Alex.)
Meredith: It was worth waiting 7 years.
Izzie: Well, you woke a the beast, now you might as well just keep feeding it. That's what I would do. Fighting the beast is too much work.
Meredith: Thanks, Iz. I gotta go. (Alex hurries off to Shepherd, he is his intern today. He can't wait to break the news.)
Derek had been giving Alex a hard time. Alex had been especially cocky lately, and Derek did not like it. In turn he was requesting Alex and torturing him. Alex couldn't wait to tell him the news. They were in the scrub room getting ready for surgery.
Alex: So it sucks, huh?
Derek: What?
Alex: Oh I heard Izzie and Meredith talking this morning. Meredith fed the beast.
Derek: The beast?
Alex: It's her sex drive. I guess she had hot sex with John last night. 'Best she has ever had', I think is how she put it.
Derek: (Laughing to himself.) Is that right?
Alex: Yep. So you're out of the race, huh. Done for. Finished. Screwed. (Alex smiles.)
Derek: Karev...
Alex: Yeah?
Derek: Go tell Bailey you are off the case, and get your ass to the pit.
Alex: What? You can't do that!
Derek: I'm your boss, and I just did.
Alex: Just because you don't get to fuck your intern, doesn't mean I have to suffer.
Derek: You don't know the meaning of suffer. Get out.
--------------------------
Finally some Mer/Der loving. I love them together. I wasn't sure if it was the right thing to do, but I'm glad I did! I didn't want to make Mer look sleazy, but who wouldn't do the nasty, nasty with McDreamy?
