Chapter 9

Still don't own anything...

Meredith started to walk into an elevator when she saw a blond head. It wasn't Izzie's long locks in a bun, it was a man's hair. Or at least the back of it. He was walking towards the front desk to talk to the nurse she talked to. For him she looked up and seemed to giggle. Why was he so familiar? Where has she seen that blond head before? The nurse pointed to where Meredith was standing and the blond man turned around.

"Oh my god!!" she squeeled. She ran up to the blond man and jumped on top of him. She hugged him tightly while he twirled her around. She giggled and hugged him again when he put her down,"Davey, what are you doing here?"

"Can't I see you? Or is there a rule about that?" his blue eyes twinkled.

She frowned,"Why didn't you call me or something?"

"So I could see you this excited," he smirked,"Hey, it only took me a year."

"Do you need a room or something? You can stay at my house," she was so excited that David had finally came to visit since she left Boston.

"Nah, I'm fine," he put his arm around her,"So what's there to do here in Seattle?"

"Plenty," her pager started to beep,"Shit. I gotta a surgery. Hey, do you want to go watch? I'm helping Der-Dr.Shepard with a surgery. Damn man wouldn't even tell me what it was," she giggled.

He shrugged,"Sure why not?"

Meredith lead him to OR 2 and left him in the gallery. People stared at the way he dressed. He had on a dark blue suit with a light blue tie. It seemed way too dressy for a hospital. Little did they know who he was.

"Its a beautiful day to save lives," he said out loud however he was smiling at Meredith beside him,"Let's have some fun."

The surgery was only a craniotomy, simple procedure compared to the other complex surgeries Derek has had before. It only took two hours, but within those hours David saw that Meredith and this Dr.Shepard were more than friends. So what if he knew nothing about surgery. He could see it in their eyes. Especially when they looked at each other. It was so clear that they where more. And obviously to everybody else. No one even paid attention to the casual flirting or the 'eye sex' as Meredith called it.

Towards the end of the surgery a Koren girl sat next to him,"So what's the deal with you and Meredith?"

He looked at the her for a second. She was obviously a friend of Mer's or else she wouldn't have this protective look on her face,"What's it to you?"

She rolled her eyes,"I don't care who the hell you are, but stay away from her."

"Is that a threat?" David's tone darkened. Who was this person to tell her to stay away from Meredith? He's certainly known her longer than they had. A lot longer.

"Oh, Mr.I-like-to-wear-suits-in-a-hospital knows a threat when he hears one," she hissed,"Just stay away from her. She doesn't need anymore complicated in her life."

"Does it look like I'm leaving, no. So just go and save lives," he brushed her off.

Cristina was filling with anger and fustration. Nobody spoke to her like that. Nobody just brushes her off! She is Cristina Yang!

Down below in the OR.

"Okay, we're done," announced Derek closing up the patient's scalp,"Well done everyone."

Meredith was the first one to rush out of the OR. She scrubbed as quickly as possible. It wasn't everyday Davey could fly in from New York. She missed him so much. Most of her friends from back East called and emailed sometimes, but they've never visited.

Derek however wasn't too pleased to see his girlfriend leave in such a hurry. He seemed semi-curious but then again Meredith could be just having a moment. Plus it didn't matter too much if she left him for a little while, he has her all night. Starting at seven.

"Hi," she jumped up and down greeting David close by the the OR.

"So, is that what you do all day?" he asked.

"Not all the time. I do surgeries on my own now too," she smiled proudly.

David knew that Mer went to med school for a long time. Then she had to wait a year before doing surgeries herself,"That's-great."

"You hate it," she teased.

"No, no I don't."

She crossed her arms,"Yes you do! The only thing exciting to you is sitting in an office desk all day staring at papers. Oooh! So fun," she smirked. She knew more than anything that Dav hated his job. The only reason he has to do it is because he's the only son to inherit Smithings' Inc.

He glared,"Ugh... You know the only reason they let me come here is because there's a Smithings building? So I'm supposed to go work there," he smirked,"But since my Dad retired I can't fire myself."

Meredith laughed. She knew his father well, he wanted Dav to be the head of their company, just like him. Dav wanted to do something fun with his life, so he used to do crazy stunts,"I'd like to see that!"

"Can you show me around Seattle? I'd get a guide but their boring, plus your free."

"Ha. I get off at seven. Meet me in the front 'kay?" she said.

"How 'bout I stay for lunch? You hungry?" he offered.

Meredith looked at the nearby clock. Apparantly it was one o'clock. She then realized her stomach ached since she skipped breakfast,"Thanks."

"Your stomach's a little loud Mer," he chuckled. He put his hand on her waist,"So where's the cafeteria?"

"On the first floor. I'll meet you there okay?" she smiled.

"Its a date," he teased.

"You'll never give up will you?" she rolled her eyes.

"Never," he smirked walking towards the elevator.

Meredith laughed as she walked off to check on a patient,"Hey Mr.Henderson," she looked at the sleeping patient who just got wheeled in from surgery. His vitals seem fine so she left to go see Dav in the caf.

"Hey," she greeted him sitting down next to him.

"Why is everyone staring at us?" Davey asked.

Meredith looked around to find everyone looking at them. She rolled her eyes,"Ignore them, I learned to."

"So this Dr.Shepard guy... What is he?" David asked casually after chewing on his sandwhich.

"Oh, well... We're-we've been sorta kinda going out?" she poked at her salad.

"Sorta kinda?" he raised his eyebrows.

"Its a long story, I'll tell you later," she sighed.

"So, how do you eat these things?" he tried to cut the tension. She giggled at his lame attempt to stop the akwardness.

GAGAGAGAGA

Derek walked into the cafeteria with a turkey sandwhich that tasted like the turkey's been dead for years and the bread stale. He'd looked for Mer in his office and the call-room and since she didn't have breakfast she must be in the cafeteria. He searched for her desperately. Then, he heard her laughter. He or her friends weren't with her. So why was she laughin? Or was she giggling? Who was making his Meredith giggle?

Derek quickly turned around to see Meredith's face full of laughter and happiness. There was a guy sitting in front of her. Who was this guy?! Anger started to fill his face. Then this blond guy put his hand on his Meredith's shoulder! What the hell does he think he's doing? And why the hell is Meredith letting him do this?! Is she laughing? She's laughing at what he said! Oh he'll give him a piece of his mind.

Derek stomped over to Mer's table,"What the hell are you doing?!"

"Not good," muttered Meredith shaking her head.
