Disclaimer: I definitely do not own this, at all, because if I did, Meredith and Derek would have gotten together right after he told her he loved her, scratch that, if I owned Grey's Anatomy, Derek would have NEVER chosen Addison.

Okay, so my last update was pretty lame, but I'm hoping that you'll guys will like this one.

And I have no idea about doctor-y things (I hope one day I will, because I want to be surgeon, but for now, I'm utterly hopeless) so I'm really not going to write the convention because I, frankly, have no idea what they would talk about. So this begins after the first day of the convention…

"Who was that chick that Derek was sitting with?" Addison asked Mark as they filed out of the conference room where the convention was being held. Mark smiled; he knew Addison would notice that, she wouldn't be Addison if she hadn't.

"Why, jealous?" Mark asked

"No, I was just wondering" she said her cheeks flushing slightly

"I think her name is Meredith, but you shouldn't be jealous because you have me now" Mark replied as he reached out for her hand

"Mark, I thought we went over this, you and I, we aren't a couple, I mean what happened with us was an accident." She sighed

"Then why did you break up with Derek over it?"

"I couldn't live with the guilt, I mean if we were still dating and he didn't know… I couldn't do that to him."

"Well, it's not like you told him anyways" Mark scoffed

"I couldn't do that to him either, I hurt him when I broke it off, I didn't want to hurt him more by telling him it was because I slept with his best friend." Mark just rolled his eyes, and they both went separate ways.

"Where are we going?" Meredith asked as she and Derek stepped out into the warm summer air. She was instantly taken back by all the people and the cars that filled the streets and it was only quarter after four in the afternoon, she couldn't even imagine how the streets might look at six.

"It's a surprise, besides even if I told you, the street name would mean nothing to you." Derek replied

"True." Meredith said, she slowed down a bit to drink in the city but got caught up in a swarm of people exiting a restaurant, she couldn't even see Derek anymore, but his strong hand found hers and pulled her out of the crowd, and she smiled up at him. He thought that she would pull her hand out of his grasp, because she didn't seem the hand holding type, but to his surprise, she squeezed his hand tighter, pulling him closer to her. "Is it always this busy?"

"I take it you've never been to New York before." Derek said with a laugh

"Is it that easy to tell?" Meredith asked lightly

"Nah, it's just that you've got my hand in the death grip."

"Oh, sorry," she said, quickly softening her grip, "I just don't want to get lost."

"That's okay" he smiled down at her and gave her hand a reassuring squeeze. They walked in silence for most of the walk, every now an then Derek would point things out of make comments on stores or restaurants. "Here we are." Derek said finally after a twenty minute walk.

"This is a coffee shop?" Meredith asked, peering in through the front window

"The very best."

"I dunno, I grew up in Seattle, so I've had my share of great coffee." Meredith said

"Yeah, but you haven't tasted New York coffee, and New York coffee is the very best." Derek stated

"Have you ever tasted Seattle coffee?" Meredith asked, Derek shook his head, "then how do you know that this coffee is the best, when there are cups out there that you haven't tasted?"

"You are very stubborn." He laughed

"What can I say, I'm a Taurus. Now are we going in? Because I think I have to taste this coffee, since you've built it up so much"

"After you" Derek followed Meredith into the coffee shop, "what do you want?" he asked

"I'll have what ever you're having." Meredith said with a smile

"Okay, you find us a seat, I'll order." Meredith wandered off to find a table where the two of them could sit, while Derek ordered their coffees

"Mmmm" Meredith said as she sipped her steaming coffee mug

"I told ya" Derek said sitting down across from her.

"It is pretty good… but Seattle's better." She smirked at him. "You should know that I'm not this kind of girl usually, you know the one that goes on dates."

"Oh, so this is a date?"

"Isn't it?"

"Do you want it to be?" Derek asked

"Well if it's good, it'll be a date, but if it sucks, then we'll say it was just coffee." Meredith said with a smile

"Sounds good to me."

"So, was Madison the kind of girl that you took out on dates?" Meredith asked casually, she really wanted to know why Derek was so hung up over this girl

"You really don't like using her real name, do you?" Derek said

"It's just… Addison? Seriously? I mean it's not a name you give your child; it's a name that you give a brand of pencils." Meredith stated with a laugh, Derek started laughing too, she was right, it was a weird name

"Well, she certainly was the going out for dates girl, especially the ones where you had to dress up and wear heels." Meredith scrunched her nose,

"I hate wearing heels." She sighed, "They just hurt, a lot." Derek laughed

"Yeah, I am more the kind of person who is okay to just go to get a cup of coffee, or take a ride on a ferry boat."

"There have ferry boats here?" Meredith asked, Derek nodded, "I love ferry boats, when we lived in Seattle my mom used to take me on them in the mornings.

"Yeah, I have a thing for ferry boats." Derek smiled "we could go for a ride on one."

"Now?" Meredith asked

"No, we'd have to take a cab down to the docks and at this time, we won't be able to get one, but we could go later on in the week."

"I'd like that." Meredith smiled; a comfortable silence fell over them as they drank

"Ready to go?" Derek asked after they had each taken the last sips of their coffee

"Mhm." Meredith nodded.

They began to walk back to the hotel, when they both stopped because a delicious smell was seeping out of and Italian restaurant

"That smells so good" Meredith said as her stomach rumbled, she hadn't realized that it was already 6:00.

"Shall we?" Derek asked wandering closer to the restaurant

"We shall." Meredith said grabbing his hand and pulling him in with her.

They were seated at a small table by the window, and after finding out that the amazing smell was spaghetti, they both ordered a steaming plate.

"So, Meredith, now that we've slept together and spent a wonderful day together, do you think that I get to learn your last name?" Derek asked as he pricked a meatball with his fork. Meredith just laughed and twirled the spaghetti on her spoon,

"I just want to let you know that I am the messiest eater ever, so consider yourself warned." She replied, completely ignoring Derek's question.

All the guys in med school that she'd ever been with had only been with her because they wanted to meet her mother, and for once there was a guy who liked her for her. If she told Derek that she was Ellis Grey's daughter, than she was afraid that he wouldn't stop asking her questions, a she kind of liked Derek, besides this was only a stupid summer fling, she'll probably never talk to him again after this week.

For the rest of the meal they talked about internships and med school, and little tid bits here and there. When it was over they split the dinner (Meredith had told Derek that he wasn't paying for the whole thing) and they walked back to the hotel. When they got to the hallway outside of Meredith's room, Derek decided to see if this was a date or not.

"So, how was this outing?" Derek asked Meredith

"Oh, I think you mean date." Meredith corrected

"So this was a date?"

"The very best" she replied then, without another word she leaned in and pressed her lips up against his. He took his hands out of his pockets and placed them on her lower back and she wrapped her arms around his neck. They both pulled away a few seconds later. She grabbed his hand, opened her hotel room door, and pulled him in.

Okay, so I'm gonna stop writing now.

So where are we? Well Addison and Derek are very much so broken up because Addison cheated with Mark, but Derek doesn't know that. Anyways, Addison and Derek, however, are both very still in love with each other, which is a shame, buuuuuut at least they have Meredith and Mark to keep them occupied…

So Meredith and Derek are dating, which is nice because it's about damn time! And I think that's it. Review and stay tuned…
