Meredith sat around her apartment Monday morning, She was watching Sadie, Christina's youngest. Izzie was at work and Meredith had the day off. Derek hadn't called for the rest of Sunday, which made Meredith sad. But she refused to be the girl that sat at the phone, although she secretly wanted too.

"Chheeeerrrrroo." Sadie screamed. For ten months, Sadie spoke a lot.

"Yes Sadie, I have cheerios." Meredith went into the kitchen with Sadie on her hip. "Now where are they?" Meredith grabbed the box and put some into a little bowl. She then put Sadie into a high chair. "Here you go baby."

The phone rang and Meredith dashed for the phone, but it ended up being a telemarketer. "Damn it."

Meredith walked back to Sadie and picked her up as the buzzer went off. Meredith went to the intercom system, "Hello?"

"Hey uh, this is Cal from Murray's Floral Arrangements. I have a delivery for a Ms. Meredith Grey." Meredith looked at Sadie, "that's odd." She hit the intercom again. "Alright, I'll buzz you in."

Meredith hit the buzzer, then carried Sadie on her hip as she wiped off the high chair. "You're so messy Sadie Lady."

Meredith heard a knock at the door and she went to answer it. There was an old man standing there holding a big bouquet of flowers.

"Are you Meredith Grey?" The old man asked as he held out a bouquet of flowers. "Sign this please.

Meredith couldn't help but smile at the bouquet of pink roses. "Thanks." She signed the clipboard. "Thanks you so much."

Meredith got ready to close the door as she held Sadie, but then he stopped her. "Oh, that's not all."

"What?" Meredith asked confused.

The old man shouted, "Earl, Stuart! Bring them in." As he said that two more old men wheeled a cart full of pink rose bouquets.

"They're so pretty." Meredith said into Sadie's ear as the baby kicked her legs in excitement. "Where did these come from?"

The men handed her a card and left with their cart, once they unloaded the roses everywhere.

Meredith opened the card with her free hand.

Dear Meredith,

I really enjoyed the date we had together. I couldn't stop thinking about you and I'm sorry I didn't call you right away. I wasn't sure what to say or how you felt. But, I really want to see you again. I have sent you 14 rose bouquets for each hour we spent together. I will call you soon.

Love,

Derek

P.S I know that this was cheesy, but did it work?

Meredith smiled and rested her head on Sadie's head. "He's a good guy."

Meredith walked around, for some reason she counted the roses and noticed there were only 13 bouquets. She sighed then heard a knock at the door.

She looked through the peep whole and smiled. She unlocked the door and answered it. Derek Shepherd stood there in nice pants and a black polo.

"I thought maybe you were missing these." He said as he handed her the last bouquet.

Sadie giggled at the cute man and Meredith smiled. "You are a character."

Derek smiled. "So, I was going to call. But I wanted to see you."

"I'm glad you didn't." Meredith said.

He looked at her up and down. Her hair was in a ponytail and messy as she wore jeans and and grey tshirt that came up, showing some of her stomach. He could tell that she had been running around the apartment and worn out. Still he couldn't help thinking she looked sexier than the first two times he saw her. Maybe it was the smile, maybe it was the glow, or the baby on the hip. But Derek knew in that moment Meredith Ellen Grey, was going to mean a lot to him.

"So, did I catch you at a bad time?" He said as he stepped closer.

"No, I just have to put her down for her morning nap." Meredith smiled in amazemment then snapped back to reality. "I'll be right back."

Meredith went to Izzies room and put Sadie in her playpen with a bottle of milk. She kissed the baby, then left the room and closed the door. She walked back to find Derek leaning agains the counter. "So you're a babysitter too?"

"Oh thats Christina and Preston's youngest. I watch her sometimes, when I'm not working." Meredith said as she washed her hands. "Actually, the kids stay the night here a lot."

"Why is that?" Derek asked.

"I enjoy them. Christina and Burke are so busy, that they don't want them to have a nanny and spend so much time with a sitter. So Izzie and I like to watch them a lote. We have a lot of fun with them."

"That's very cute." Derek said as he stepped closer.

Meredith laughed, "You're cute."

Derek walked forward, "You know I was going to ask you to lunch, but since you have her down for a nap. I won't ask you to wake her."

"Oh." Meredith said as she took a step backwards. "Well we can eat here."

"We can."

"Yes we can." Meredith said taking one more step back.

"You look great Meredith." Derek said as he kept walking towards her.

"I'm a mess." Meredith laughed and felt her face as she began to blush.

"So, do you have a free moment?"Derek asked.

"For what?" Meredith asked.

Derek walked closer. "For this." He gently pushed her up against the wall and kissed her. He put one hand above her head and the other pushed her hair out of her face. He thrusted his tongue into her mouth and instantly she kissed back. "Mmm Meredith."

"Yes?" She asked in between kisses.

"Can we date?" He said as he pulled away from kissing her for a moment.

"What do you mean, we went on a date. I would love to go on another and another." She said as she kissed his neck.

"Will you be my girlfriend Meredith?" Derek asked as her rubbed her cheek with his thumb. "Can we date?"

Meredith smiled and bit her lip lightly, "Yea, we can."

"Good, because I don't think I could try to impress you for another moment." He kissed her forehead. "I just want to be able to kiss you whenever I want."

Meredith got a tear in her eyes. "Kiss me Derek."

Derek, swept her off of her feet and took her to the couch where he just lay on top of her and kissed her all over. He wanted to make sure he didn't miss a single part of her lips and honestly, he didn't want to let go. Neither did she.

I am falling hard, and there is nothing I can do about it
