Chapter 16

"Shhh... Its okay. I know," he wrapped his arms around her and trailed kisses down her neck. She smiled knowing that he was there. Greatful he would be there. She pressed her lips against his. She climbed on top of him to get better axis to his body. She ran her fingers through Der's hair. She kissed him even harder making him groan.

Then the door bell rang.

Meredith's hands snaked their way to Derek's pants unbuttoning them.

"Mer?" Derek asked while Meredith was still kissing him.

"What?" she started to slide off his pants. She reached her down his boxers and stroked him slowly.

"The-the door," he moaned.

"I like this better," she said in his mouth. He nodded softly and kissed her harder. Derek paused the kiss to take off her shirt. He stroked her bare back with the tips of his fingers sending chills down her back.

"MEREDITH!!!!!!" Izzie screamed,"SOMEONE'S AT THE DOOR!!!!!!!!!"

"Ugh!!" Meredith grunted. She picked up an over sized t-shirt off the floor and went downstairs. She was expecting her husband downstairs, he always had a weird sense of timing.

"Meredith?" David looked at her curiously. He saw that her make-up was mussed, her make-up smudged and that her t-shirt was inside out. It could mean one thing.

"Of all times to come to my house you pick now?!" she screamed irritated.

Dav put his hands out to protect himself,"Hey, sorry! If I knew I'd be at my hotel room watching paper view!"

She smiled slightly,"Fine," she said rolling her eyes.

"I heard Scotty was here. So, I came. I figured you needed a shoulder to cry on," he winked.

"Yeah, right. Really why'd you come," she asked skeptical.

"Really. I did."

"And you didn't tell him to come?" she crossed her arms.

"Me? Why would I after he cheated?" he asked.

"Ummm... Because after wards you helped Scott get through it and not me!" her face turned red.

"You left Mer! He was hurt too," he came closer.

She glared at her friend,"Really?! And do you think I care he got hurt when I left?!"

He looked at her,"No. Meredith come on. Let me help. I brought my lawyer over so he could help you get out of this mess."

Shock went through her body. As soon as she heard that sentence she realized something,"You knew?!"

"Mer-"

"You knew I was still married but you couldn't tell me?! You couldn't call me to tell me?!" she screamed. Anger filled her body. Her friend, one of her best friends had lied to her. He had lied for a year. He's been lying the whole time he was here.

"Meredith," he started.

"GET OUT!" she spat,"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!!!"

David was surprised at her outburst. Sure he was prepared for the yelling. He knew there would be yelling. He knew she'd even kick him out. But what he wasn't prepared for was the guilt. He was over come with a outrageous amount of guilt that he lied to her. By the tone of her voice he knew that her anger was only a cover up so people wouldn't know she was hurt.

Meredith stomped up stairs brooding. He was an ass. Her best friend had turned to an ass. He's been an ass she just hasn't realized it. He could've told her. He could've warn her. He must've known he was coming too! That sneaky ass!

"So," Derek started,"You're not in a mood for sex anymore?"

Meredith fell in the bed. She pulled the covers over her head. Mer used her pillow to sand which her head.

"I guess not," he curled his body against hers,"Its okay to feel hurt Meredith."

As soon as Derek said that Meredith began to cry,"He knew. Der, Davy knew and he wouldn't tell me."

"Its okay," he caressed her sides,"Its okay..."

"Meredith," Derek asked during lunch the following day,"How did you two, you know."

Meredith stared at her sand which,"I don't' want to talk about it."

"Mer," Derek warned,"If we're going to start over again we need to talk to each other, communicate."

Meredith swirled around in Derek's over-sized office chair,"He cheated."

"Oh."

She sighed,"There's more. We got married at 25. Scott started to become... I don't know different. He wouldn't talk to me. He wouldn't touch me. He barely even talked to me. I knew he was cheating, I felt it. But it was horrible, Der. He was tearing me apart. I was feeling useless. Like crap. I was constantly thinking what's wrong with me? I thought I was hideous. We lived in a small house at the school grounds. He taught and I was a sub when I ever I could. Then, on our third anniversary I went in his classroom to surprise him because I had classes. And there I found him with Alicia. She was a whore before she slept with him. She was a prostitute before she came there. She was twenty years old and getting her English degree to be a teacher there. So, she asked if he could be his student teacher, of course he agreed. And I found them there on his desk. Naked, fucking each other like animals," her eyes filled with tears,"I lost it. So I left. I went to the Seattle Grace thing then I went to the bar and found you. Then I thought, 'Maybe things will get better.' You were my hope."

Derek sat there. He was speechless. He didn't know. He was touched that she called him her hope,"Mer, I-"

"Its okay," she shrugged,"Its the past."

"That was a year ago."

"So?" she looked up at him,"That's when I found out I love you."

Derek, who was sitting on the desk, kissed. It was soft, but non the less it sent shivers through both of their spines. That was all they need. One touch, one touch to show how much they loved each other. One touch to make things better. All of that in one touch.

' I like where we are,

Hellogoodbye "Here In Your Arms"

Okay, I know it sounds a lot like the Derek thing but keep in mind that this part in the story wasn't originally suposed to be in Dark & Twisty it was supposed to be an X-Men fic but I put it in here in stead.
