Thanks for the reviews, I love your feedback.

Happy Grey's day!

Disclaimer: If I owned Grey's Anatomy, then I probably wouldn't be writing this.

Meredith stood there, on her front porch, looking at... no one.

The ghosts are back!

Meredith smiled to herself as she walked into her house and looked around.

"Derek?"

"Welcome home, Mer."

She turned aroung with a giggle. There, before her, stood Derek. His hair was disheveled, his eyes were bloodshot, and he had some white powder on the tip of his nose and around his mouth.

"Why are you laughing me?" Derek asked with a faux look of hurt on his face.

She walked inches from his tall, muscular body and replied, "Either you were doing lines of cocaine, or you found my donuts." She made a show of looking into the living room. "I don't see any razors or mirrors, so I'm guessing the latter." She giggle again. Meredith stood on her tip toes and wiped the powder off Derek's nose and face. She regained her normal height and...

Oh my god, why did i just do that?! What the hell is wrong with me? He probably thinks I'm desperate and crazy!

Derek looked at her and smiled. He bent down and kissed her nose lightly. He cupped her face with his palm and grazed his thumb over her cheek, "Thank you, Meredith."

"Oh... um, yeah... you're welcome."

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god...

Derek chuckled slightly as he walked into the kitchen, "Why don't you go and get dressed and do whatever else you need to do. Then, when you come back, we need to talk about your manners, young lady."

----

15 minutes later, Meredith is dressed and out of the shower. She put some mascara one and walked into the kitchen. She didn't understand when Derek said something about her manners. Wasn't he the one who broke into her house?

She walked into the sight of Derek eating a chip, leaning over the counter reading a Home and Garden magazine. He looked up and smiled at her, then went back to the article he was reading. She went into her refrigerator and got out a bottle of water. She stood opposite Derek and tried some of the salsa he made. "So," Meredith said, "I have bad manners?"

Derek smiled and looked up. "Yes you do." He took a step to his left, Meredith's right.

"What are you talking about?" Meredith asked.

Derek took another step towards her. "It's worse if I have to tell you."

"You sound like a woman."

Derek stopped in his tracks. "I'm not a woman." He dropped his voice to a whisper, "Wanna check?"

Meredith giggled, "No, that's disgusting."

One more step. "So anyway, you don't remember when we were on the phone earlier, and I was talking and you so rudely hung up on me?" Derek took another step and he was about two inches from Meredith's body. They were dangerously close. Derek lightly tugged on Meredith's hair and put a stray piece behind her ear. "I was really sad. I started crying." Derek and Meredith smiled. "So what do you expect we should do about this?"

"Um, uh... I don't know."

Derek cupped her face again, and stared into her eyes, "I have a suggestion." Derek's grin grew wider. "But, I don't know if you would like it." He moved closer so her chest was touching his, "But you would never find out, if you didn't try."

"Um, I..."

Before she could finish her thought, Derek dipped his head down and captured her lips in his. He moved his other hand so both of them were on her face. Both of their eyes fluttered shut and her hands found the back of his neck, where his curls ended. She pulled on them lightly, and weaved her fingers through them. Derek's tongue grazed her bottom lip and Meredith allowed acess. As their tongues explored each other's mouths, Derek's cool hands found Meredith's warm, bare stomach. Meredith was surprised at the contact and groaned a bit. She moved her hands to his toned chest, and Derek moved his to the small of her back, and pulled her closer to him. Meredith's eyes rolled into the back of her head and her toes curled. She felt content in Derek's arms.

Okay, chapter thirteen, please review, thank you!
