A/N: So I got a lot of reviews asking me to continue this story so…I will! I would have updated earlier but I went to the Orioles game – last home game of the year so I'm really sad. But I met my favorite player after the game…again. So, on with the story, even though I'm sad
Chapter 20: Too Young
Meredith headed upstairs to get ready for bed, but Derek stayed downstairs to talk to his family while Meredith was in the bathroom. "She's young Derek," his mother said concerned. "So?" Derek asked, as he helped finish cleaning the dishes from dinner, he knew that this topic would come up sooner or later. "She's too young for you. Don't get me wrong, Derek, she's a very sweet girl. But she's too young." Derek put down the dishes that he was drying and turned around, "I love you dearly mom, but I'm not going to not be with someone just because you think she's too young. I'm in love with her mom." Meredith overheard this part of the conversation as she was walking from the bathroom back to Derek's bedroom. She knew it was going to come up, and she walked into Derek's room and sat down on the bed crying.
Derek went upstairs to go to bed and when he opened the door saw Meredith sitting on the bed in tears. "Meredith," he said, walking over to her, "What? What's wrong?" "You're family hates me," she said in between sobs, "I heard you talking to your mom." Derek pulled her into his chest, "She doesn't hate you. I promise. Listen, look at me," he said lifting her chin up. He wiped the tears away with his thumb and held her head in his hands. "They don't hate you. They just think you're young. But I don't care. I love you Meredith. I am so in love with you. So don't worry okay?" Meredith smiled and gave him a kiss on the cheek, "Thank you." She wiped her eyes and smiled at him. He chuckled, "There's that smile."
Meredith had promised Derek something earlier in the evening after they were interrupted but his little sister, but instead, after they both finished getting ready for bed, they just lay in bed in each others arms, talking a little bit and laughing. They were so comfortable with each other and Meredith felt so safe. After Derek had calmed her down and comforted here earlier in the evening, she realized just how much he meant to her. She knew that she loved him, but there was something more.
The next morning Derek woke up before Meredith but it was almost time for them to get up anyway because his sisters would be there in about an hour. "Mer?" he said, quietly. She just groaned and rolled over. Derek just laughed at her, and decided on another plan of action to wake her up. He started to kiss her neck and moved down her chest. She was wearing a very low cut lacy tank top and so he inched it down little by little until she finally woke up. "Derek," she said, still half-asleep, "What time is it?" "I think you know," he answered and continued to kiss her chest. She just smiled, "We can't do this right now." Derek stopped and sat up, "Why not?" "Because," she said, "We'll wake everybody up." "They have to get up anyway," he said and leaned forward and kissed her on the forward. "I know, but, later okay? I really do promise. Last night was, well, it just wasn't good so, later, okay?" Derek smiled, "Can't wait." He got off the bed and helped her out. "You want to shower first?" he asked. She smiled, "No. I want to shower with you." He laughed, "Okay, but, does this count as later?" She rolled her eyes, "Wow. You're like a rabbit." He started to laugh, "But does it?" She took his hand and walked them to the bathroom, "No, it doesn't."
A/N: I know this another short chapter but I'm really tired because I've had a really busy weekend and I'm depressed about the end of baseball and I have school tomorrow. I promise I'll have more tomorrow afternoon, as long as my internet continues to work. Review, review, review.
Oh, my revelation was: Ya know when in the pilot episode, Derek and Meredith go into the stairwell and she says, "I'm not the girl in the bar anymore and you're not the guy." Well in the premiere, when they meet she says, "I'm just a girl in the bar" and he said, "I'm just a guy in a bar." That's what the meant in the pilot! Get it?
