If You're not the One

Meredith heard a knock at the door. No one, rushed to it, so she figured George and Callie had left too. She found herself walking down the stairway, but not rushing. She saw Derek through the door and knew there was no turning back now. She reached for the door and there he was. Standing there. He was the one she would spend the rest of her life with.

Meredith smiled. "Hello Derek."

"Meredith." He returned the smile and walked in as she closed the door behind him.

"You're here. You're everywhere. I can't just not tell you and I sure as hell can't wait." She paused and took a deep breath."

"Meredith, don't yell. When I say your name you used to yell. But go on." Derek became nervous. He just wanted to grab her and kiss her. Kiss the lips he wanted to kiss everyday from now on.

"I broke up with Finn. I heard you say those things and I knew that no one but you could ever make me feel that way again. I love you Derek." Meredith began to cry. "I love you so much. I need you, I want you, but I can't live without you."

Derek walked over to her. He rest his hand on her face and ran his finger through her hair. "Meredith, I love you too." He gently kissed her lips. They were salty from the tears, but he knew that she was the one. The one he would date, the one he would marry, the one he would have a child with. "Meredith, you're beautiful. "

Meredith pulled away from him. She wiped her tears and leaned in to kiss him again. She unbuckled his belt and led him to her upstairs bedroom. The made there way over to the bed kissing rapidly. Meredith removed her shirt and bra as Derek removed his pants. He lay on top of her.

"Meredith are you sure?" Derek said.

I never know what the future brings
But I know you are here with me now
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with

"Derek, shut up." Meredith removed his shirt. She kissed him on the lips. Then assisted him in removing her panties. He entered her. It was unlike the other night at the prom. Sure at the prom it felt nice, but it felt wrong. This felt right.

When they were finished, Meredith sat up.

"Oh god."

"What is wrong, Meredith?" Derek rest his hand on her back.

"Addison." Meredith jumped out of her bed. "You're with Addison."

"No, I'm not. We signed the Divorce Papers this afternoon." Derek said. "Meredith, we should take this slow, but I don't want you to worry about this. Addison and I are on good terms. But she knows and knew for a long time it was over."

"Derek, you're right. We should take this slow. But I love you. I just want you to know that." She kissed his lips and they decided to get dressed.

"Well, what do you want to do now?" Meredith spoke as she fixed her hair in the mirror.

"Lets go see a movie." Derek smiled. Meredith looked up, kissed him and smiled. "Okay." It was the typical cute smile that she always gave when she was happy or in a great mood. Derek missed that.

"I love you. I'm going to check the movie listings, maybe we could catch one after nine. Then maybe we could come back here and snuggle." He moved closer to her.

"Snuggle…yes maybe we could." They kissed once more, Derek smacked her butt and walked downstairs.

Meredith knew that this was the right thing. He was the one that she would spend her life with.
