Chapter 1

He taped a note on her locker before any of her friends or she arrived.

"Hey Meredith," Christina told her when they reached the locker room, "You have a note on your locker."

Meredith took the note off the locker and read what it said.

Every time I think of you my heart beats faster

My pulse races, my palms are sweaty

Like a horse in a race, speeding

My heart aches when I'm not around you

Needles piecing it

A dull sore after every beat

A pit in my stomach when I'm around you

Unable to breathe

I stare into your bottomless eyes

My thought's lost in those hazel liquid pools

Unable to speak

Your beauty, like a rose, a dove

Pure and peaceful

Waiting for you,

Your secret admirer

"Hey did any of you guys see who taped this on my locker?" Meredith asked all the interns in the locker room.

Several of no's echoed in the room.

"So what does it say?" Izzy asked curious.

Meredith passed the note around to her friends.

"Oooohhh! Meredith has a secret admirer!" Izzy said in a sing-song voice.

"I bet you it's from McDreamy." Christina said.

"But if it was," George pointed out, "he would have signed it, not written, 'Your secret admirer'."

"That's true." Izzy agreeing. "But maybe he wanted to be anonymous. I mean it's so romantic."

"Well, I'll ask him about it at lunch, today." Meredith said.

"Hey, George," Izzy whispered. "Did you write that corny poem?"

"NO!" George said. "Why on earth would you think that?"

"Oh I don't know," Christina said eavesdropping, "maybe because of that little crush you have on her."

"NO!" George said. "I did not write it."

"Are you all here to gossip and exchange notes, or are you all here to work?" Dr. Bailey barked.

"We're all here to work, Dr. Bailey." They all said.

"Then what are you all still standing here for?" Bailey yelled. "You all have post-ops to do!"

They all scurried away before Dr. Bailey could yell at them any more.

"Hey." Meredith said as she caught up to Derek. She planted a light kiss on his lips. The whole hospital knew about their relationship by now, so it didn't really matter whether or not people saw them.

"Hey yourself, gorgeous." Derek said with a flirting smile.

Meredith felt her cheeks turn red. Even after all this time, Derek could still make her blush with comments like that.

"I have a question for you." Meredith said.

"Oooohhhh." Derek said excitedly. "Is it an easy one? Oh could it be you are asking me out to a date?"

Meredith laughed at him. He was still like a kid. "No, but don't worry even you will get it, you neurosurgeon."

"Hey that's mean." Derek pouted.

Meredith laughed again. "Well, I got a note on my locker this morning. I was wondering if it was you who left it."

"Awwwww man! That's such a great idea. I wish I have thought of it." Derek said. "Do you think it's still too late? No actually I didn't put it there. I wish I did though."

"Yes, it's too late." Meredith said. "Oh well, I guess I'll have to figure out who it is."

Derek wrapped his arm tightly around Meredith's waist and kissed her temple. Meredith let out a laugh as they walked back to the building.

He watched her from the shadows. He was outraged. How dare that man touch Meredith? She was his all his. If he couldn't have him no one could. He just hoped it wouldn't come to that. After all, she would be a great trophy. He left his hiding place, unseen, and joined his friends at a near-by table. Just you wait, he thought, I'll make you mine.
