Thank you for your reviews and suggestions.
Sorry the chapters are so short, I have a limited time on the computer, so that's why. But I will try to make them longer. Thank you!
Disclaimer: Wow, I don't have anything funny to say. I don't own Grey's or the characters.
He smiled. Even before he answered her question, she knew the answer.
"I'm a neuro surgeon."
Oh, god.
Meredith just sats there, staring at Derek. Her eyes are glassed over; she wears a smirk on her mouth. Derek looks at her. He lets her think for a second more before he chants her name.
Oh my god. A neuro surgeon?! Can he be more of a catch? Great hair, beautiful eyes, kind face, and he saves lives for a living. And he is a real doctor! Not a vet...
"Meredith?"
Meredith Shepherd.
"Meredith?"
Or Meredith Grey-Shepherd...
This time, Derek put his hand on her shoulder and gently shook her, "Meredith!"
"Huh? What? Oh, sorry." Meredith's face turned a bright shade of red.
"It's okay. What were you thinking about?"
Shit! What do I say? 'Oh, I was thinking if I should just take your name when we get married or do the hyphen thing.'? Shit shit shit.
"Meredith?"
Fuck! You have to say something. It's been like five minutes! You are just staring at him he thinks you're crazy.
"Meredith?"
"Um... euthanasia.
"You were thinking about euthanasia?" Derek asked, confused.
"Yeah, it's wrong." Shit, change the subject! "Okay, your turn..."
"Um, okay."
Oh god, he thinks I'm crazy!
"Favorite color?"
"Green."
"Red or white wine?"
"Red."
"Cats or dogs?"
What the fuck kind of questions are these? They suck!
"Dogs"
He looked to the television that was still tuned to General Hospital.
"Jason and Elizabeth, or Elizabeth and Lucky?"
"What?"
"On General Hospital! Duh! It's best soap opera ever!
"..." Meredith just sats there, shocked that he actually watches her favorite soap opera.
Is this guy gay?
"Okay, now you think I'm gay." He says, still looking at the screen.
Shit! Can he read my fuckin' mind?
"I'm not gay." He declares. "I'm masculine enough to watch daytime soap operas." He adds with a deeper tone of voice. A giggle from Meredith fills the room. Derek whips his head to look at Meredith giggle. Right then, he decided his favorite sound was her giggle. When her giggle died down, he turns back to the TV.
"So, what, you don't watch this?" He asked. "Don't tell me you watch All My Children, I hate that show!"
"No, I watch General Hospital."
"So?"
"Jason and Elizabeth."
Derek let out a sigh of relief. "Well, this sounds like the beginning of a great relationship." He turned to look at Meredith with a full smile that reached his eyes.
Relationship...
A few seconds passed.
Wait, relationship?! No, no, no. what about Finn? I secretly hate Finn, but I can't hurt him. No, this can't happen.
Meredith stood abruptly. Derek turned to look up at her.
"Is there something wrong, Mer?"
Mer, not Meri. This sucks.
Meredith panicked. "You have to leave. Now."
The smile faded from his lips. "But, Mer I-"
"No, I can't do this."
"Can I just leave my number?"
Meredith didn't have time to object because Derek was already writing his cell phone number on a piece of paper.
"You have to go." Meredith placed her small hands on Derek's large chest and pushed him towards the front door. She opened the door and tried to push Derek out of it. But Derek was stronger and just stood on the threshold.
"Mer, are you okay?"
"No, yes, no! You just have to leave."
"Okay, Mer, I'll go." Derek said, with a hint of sadness in his voice. "But this won't be the last time I see you. Bye, Meredith."
Meredith watched as Derek Shepherd walked down the driveway to his car. She wished that last sentence would be true. She smiled as she watched his ass as he walked away.
Damn it...
Okay there is chapter four! I hope everyone liked it. Please review. Thank you!
