I don't own Grey's Anatomy. If I did, we would all know what was going to happen tomorrow, because I can't keep a secret!
Meredith woke up early in the morning. Her head was pounding. It was no wonder. She hadn't really eaten in days, and the only thing she had drank was tequila. She definitely couldn't drink today. Her body would be screaming at her if she did. She looked over at the other side of her bed. She had kicked the boy out of her bed. She laughed to herself. It was just cruel. It had been pouring rain, too. Oh well. She went into the bathroom and took a quick shower. She ate some breakfast, drank some coffee. She wasn't great, but she was better. She grabbed her clothes and threw them in the washer. She was way behind on laundry. By noon she couldn't take it anymore. She climbed in her Jeep and drove off. She had to go there, she had to go there right now.

"Hey stranger!" Drew said as he walked up to Derek. Derek was looking over a patient file.
"If it isn't New York's other plastic surgeon." Drew walked up and gave him a pat on the back.
"Other? Oh come on, we both know I am way better than piss-ant Mark." Drew said, they both laughed. "We're in practice together now."
"I heard something about that. So how are New York's biggest man-whores?" Derek laughed.
"He's a good. I'm good. We're working our way through the ladies one at a time." Drew said, eyeing a nurse.
"I bet you are. What the hell happened to your eye?" Derek said with a chuckle. Drew held up his arm. "And your arm..."
"You will never believe it... " Drew started. "So I went to the bar yesterday after I got in town. There was this drunk chick sitting there. She was smoking hot. Anyway, she took me home. I had the best sex I've had in a long time, then she kicked me out!" He said, astonished.
"Drew got Drew-d?" Derek said laughing. Addison walked up.
"Hey you!" She hugged him. "Someone Drew-d you?" She laughed. "She played your own trick on you?"
"Yeah. We were having a good time. We went back to her house around one in the afternoon, and by midnight she yells at me to get out. She said if she wanted to hear snoring, she'd get a boyfriend. She shoved me right out of the bed and onto the floor. I landed on my shoe. Hence bruise number one. So I go out into the pouring rain. I walked like two miles and I got freaking mugged. He didn't get away with anything, but he got me in the face. Which, by the way I need an x-ray." Drew said, feeling sorry for himself.
"God, I'd love to meet this girl!" Addison said with a laugh.
"Yeah well, I'll get her, don't worry!" Drew retorted with a sneaky grin.
"How do you plan on that?" Derek asked.
"Oh, she was pretty depressed. I'm sure she's at the bar right now." Drew said slyly. "I need to tame that one..."
"Where did you pick this girl up at?" Derek said, slightly worried that it was Meredith.
"Oh some bar on the corner." Drew answered.
"Not Joe's?" Derek asked. "Emerald City..." He clarified.
"No, no. Not that one..." Drew said quickly. "So, I'm going to go get an x-ray. Is my favorite cousin going to at least have a cup of coffee with me?"
"Of course. I'll meet you in the cafeteria in an hour." Derek said, shaking his head. That was just like his cousin, to get into trouble.
"So, what is he doing here?" Addison asked.
"Who knows. This is Drew we're talking about..." Derek laughed. "Have you talked to Meredith?" Derek said, his face getting serious.
"Not in awhile. She's on leave, right?" Addison said, walking to grab a chart.
"Um, yeah." Derek answered, not wanting to give too much away.
"What's going on? And why were you on leave for three days? Richard said you had a situation..." Addison questioned him, looking over the top of her glasses.
"It was... I was with Meredith. She's kind of a mess right now." Derek explained.
"What's going on? Is she okay? What can I do?" Addison said with worry. "It was her. She was the intern." Derek just looked at her. "I knew it. I had a feeling before. Poor girl. If I had known I would have been there for her." Addison said, feeling sorry for her. "And he left..."
"I think she's okay." Derek said quietly to avoid anyone hearing.
"So now explain why you were with Meredith." Addison said with a big grin on her face.
"Wipe that grin off your face. There's nothing going on. She made that clear." Derek said sternly, remembering the past few days.
"That will change..." Addison said.
"I'm not so sure about that. She is really broken." Derek trailed off, running his fingers through his hair. "I don't think I can fix her. I'm worried about what she might do."
"Meredith would never hurt herself. I mean, I don't know her that well, but I can tell she's not the type." Addison said wholeheartedly.
"Yes, it didn't appear that way. Not until I went there on Tuesday, and I had to shove my fingers in her mouth to pull out sleeping pills." Derek spat, immediately regretting saying it.
"What?" Addison said in shock. "Oh my God. Is she okay. I mean I-- Wow. It wasn't that bad, was it?"
"There is more going on here. I don't know. I stayed with her because I was worried she would try again. I really don't think she will. Besides, she promised me." He said, looking down the hallway.
"We need to watch her. I'll see if she wants to come over for dinner or something. You could come too." Addison said with a smile.
"That may be good." Derek said with a smile, "Addison--"
"I know Derek, don't say anything. I won't. I'll call her and let you know what time." Addison said, walking away. Derek walked into the stairwell, deep in thought. He heard someone call his name.
"Derek!" Holly said. He turned around, and she forced her lips on his. He immediately pulled away.
"What the hell are you doing?" He shouted at her.
"I'm so sorry." He turned away from her. "I screwed up. But, we had a great thing going on. I don't know what happened. I am not going to sit here and blame her. But before she came we were happy. I was thinking about white gowns and what color flowers I wanted. I want you back Derek. Please." His face softened.
"I have to go." Derek said quietly, walking away.
--------------
Meredith pulled into a parking spot. She knew she shouldn't be there. She knew she wasn't welcome. She didn't care. She made her way through the parking lot. She spotted her friends. They were sitting at a table outside. She smiled as she made her way over there and sat down.
"Hey you!" Izzie said with a big smile on her face.
"I couldn't stay in that house anymore." Meredith whined. "And some friend you are..." She pointed to Cristina.
"Me?" Cristina said, offended.
"Where the hell were you? I thought you were my person..." Meredith pouted.
"Well if Mc Dreamy hadn't been at your door like a guard dog." Cristina pointed out, grabbing fries off of George's plate.
"Hey!" George shouted. "Those are mine."
"Shut up, Bambi." Cristina said. "So what's up with you and McDreamy?"
"Nothing. He's just a friend." Meredith replied, taking some of George's fries.
"Oh that's right. Take the food right out of George's mouth. He doesn't matter." George shouted. Everyone laughed.
"He's some friend. He stayed for days. And I think I saw him in your bed two days ago..." Izzie giggled.
"Just friends! I don't think I can afford to have anything more. Besides, I'm done with men. Relationships no. I am still up for sex. Meaningless sex." Meredith said with a smile. "And I had some of that last night..."
"You are such a dude." Alex noted. Derek came walking up to the table.
"Ah, Dr. Grey. What are you doing here?" Derek asked with a smile.
"I couldn't stay away." Meredith returned.
"Cut the crap, Dr. Shepherd. We all know you stayed over." Cristina said. "I think you can call her by her first name."
"So, am I missing any good surgeries?" Meredith asked, taking the pressure off of Derek.
"I scrubbed in on a Homograft valve replacement with Burke." Cristina said with an annoying smile.
"Bitch!" Meredith spat.
"I know!" Cristina laughed.
"I had a hysterectomy with Montgomery." Izzie added.
"I had a splenectomy with Bailey." George offered with a smile.
"I am with the plastic guy. He's in for a consult. Dr. Monahan." Alex smiled.
"Have you seen him? I am supposed to meet him for coffee." Derek added.
"Nope." They all said.
"Shit!" Meredith squealed. "I wasn't here." She took off and ran away towards the parking lot.
"What's her problem?" Alex asked. Mr. Jackson, the Chief of Staff walked up.
"Ah, how are my surgical interns?" Dylan Jackson asked, looking them all over.
"Good, good." Everyone answered.
"Has anyone seen Dr. Grey? I heard she was here." He said suggestively.
"Nope." Alex said.
"She's definitely not here." Izzie added.
"If she were, this is where she'd be." George told her.
"I think she's at home." Cristina suggested.
"Well, I have to go. Since you all are busy and we're down an intern maybe I can find a resident to scrub in. Thank you for your time. Mr. Jackson" Derek said nodding. They all looked at him funny. He got up and walked away.
"So, if you see Dr. Grey, let me know." Dylan told them.
"Of course, Sir." Izzie said. He walked away.
"That was bizarre." George told him.
"He's like the freaking gestapo." Cristina said laughing.
"Where Meredith is, trouble follows." Alex said, they all laughed. It was true, but they still loved her.
-------------------
Meredith walked into Joe's. She thought her friends would be there, but none of them were. She begrudgingly made her way up to the bar. She was still mad at Joe. She knew why he did it, but she was still mad. She sat down on the stool heavily. Joe looked over at her and smiled. She smiled back weakly and glanced around the bar.
"Hey, there." Joe said as he walked up.
"Hey Joe." Meredith responded.
"What can I get you?" Joe asked with a smirk.
"I'm still mad at you." Meredith grumbled. "I'll have a beer."
"I know you are." He said as he handed her a bottle.
"I know why you did it." Meredith told him
"Did you go home?" Joe asked, assuming she did.
"No! I went to that shit-hole down the street, got tanked, took home a stranger and had hot monkey sex." Meredith said, laughing.
"Funny..." Joe said, laughing.
"No, really." Meredith's face relaxed.
"Seriously?" Joe asked.
"Yeah." Meredith said taking a sip of her beer. She wasn't there to get drunk. She was going home after her beer. She slowly sipped her beer. She saw one of the nurses from the hospital come in, one of Holly's friends. Meredith didn't want to deal with that. She finished her beer, threw down the cash and walked out. She was almost to the car when she heard someone call her name. She quickly turned around to see a handsome man with dark brown hair and light brown eyes. It was Drew.
"Hey. I was down at the other bar looking for you." Drew said with a smile.
"Looking for me?" Meredith asked with a puzzled face.
"I thought maybe you'd like a rematch." He said, raising his eyebrows.
"I'm not drunk..." Meredith stated. "I try to only do that when I'm drunk. That way, I have an excuse."
"Well, I have to say it was good. Maybe you should try it sober. It will be worth remembering." Drew said as he walked closer.
"I don't think so." Meredith said as she turned and walked away.
"Okay. Break my heart." Drew said sadly, dropping his head.
"It's what I do best." She said with a chuckle, opening her car door.
"This is your last chance. I am leaving tomorrow." He said slowly. "One last chance for unbelievable sex." He trailed off. Meredith got in her car and began to drive out of the parking lot. She stopped the car next to him. He climbed in.
"I know, I am hard to resist." She rolled her eyes. She pulled up by the liquor store. "What are you doing?" He asked.
"I told you I only do this drunk. Tequila. Go." She said, pushing him out. He climbed back in with a bottle of tequila. She drove a while and pulled up to a spot overlooking the ferry boats.
"What the hell are you doing?" He asked. "I'm not a real fan of sex in cars, especially one this small." He chuckled.
"I have a thing for ferry boats. I am going to down part of this bottle, and you are going to drive me back to my house." She stated.
"We are going to my hotel." Drew told her. There he was going to throw her out. Give her a taste of her own medicine.
"I don't go to guy's houses. I don't want to get locked in the basement. So ferry boats, and my house, or you can get out and walk." She snapped.
"Fine. Ferry boats are stupid. My cousin has a thing for ferry boats. I don't get it." Drew explained.
"Your cousin is very smart..." Meredith said with a smile. "Okay, we can go." She climbed out and he switched her seats.
"You are a very strange girl." He laughed.
"I know." She responded, taking a drink. "So how did you get the black eye?"
"After you kicked me out, I was mugged." He said angrily. She began laughing. "It only happened because I was walking in the middle of the night. Because you kicked me out!"
"I won't kick you out this time. I wouldn't want your pretty little face getting damaged again." She laughed.
--------------
Meredith and Drew crashed through the front door. Izzie, George and Alex were all sitting on the couch watching t.v. The all just looked up in shock as Drew and Meredith peeled their clothes off, while heading up the stairway. A few minutes later they heard the tell-tale sound of the headboard slamming against the wall. They heard Drew yelling her name.
"Someone is having a good time!" Izzie said, turning the t.v. up.
"What is she thinking? This is not good." George told them, looking up the stairs.
"She is thinking that she wants to have an orgasm, or several." Izzie laughed.
"When her life is sucking, she sleeps with inappropriate men. I find it charming." Alex said with a shrug.
"You would." George said. "Hopefully we'll be able to get some sleep."
----------------
Meredith woke up in the morning. Drew was snoring loudly, and she wanted to shove him off the bed, but she didn't. She laid there and stared at the wall. She wasn't ready to get up. She rolled over and he opened her eyes.
"Last night, now that was good." Drew said with a smile.
"Yeah, it was." She returned. He climbed out of bed. She looked at his bare ass, and smiled.
"I need to find my clothes." He said with a chuckle.
"They are probably out in the hallway." She smiled. "No one is here." He walked out and came back in fully dressed.
"So, I have to go. My flight leaves in a few hours." He said, grabbing his wallet.
"Okay. Well, thanks for the good time." She said, closing her eyes. She heard a pen writing on the table.
"Here. This is my number, if you're ever in New York, please give me a call!" He said with a big grin. "Actually just give me a call anytime."
"I'm not looking for a boyfriend." She said with her eyes closed.
"I'n not looking for a girlfriend." He smiled. "Thanks again." He said, walking out of her bedroom. She heard the front door open and shut. She sighed and closed her eyes. She laid there for a long time. She heard the front door open, and someone walk into her room.
"Back again?" She said with a chuckle.
"What?" Derek said, confused. Her eyes shot open.
"Just what I said, back again..." She stammered, trying to cover it up.
"How are you feeling?" Derek asked, his voice full of concern.
"I'm fine." She said quickly.
"You're always fine." Derek said, shaking his head. "Get up, we're going to breakfast. I did my rounds, I have nothing scheduled." She groaned. "Come on..."
"Fine." She said. "I have to take a quick shower." She climbed out of the bed with the sheet wrapped around her. He raised his eyebrows.
"You brought someone home last night." Derek said, laughing. Inside he wanted to scream.
"I'll be out in a minute, Dr. Shepherd." She laughed.
----------------
Meredith and Derek took a small table in the corner of the cafe. She sat down and leaned her head back, yawning. The waiter brought a carafe of coffee, she immediately poured a cup. Derek just watched her pour in a ton of creamer and some sugar.
"So, late night?" Derek asked, taking a drink of his coffee.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" Meredith said, with a laugh.
"Actually, no." Derek said quickly, his face dropping.
"We're friends..." Meredith suggested.
"Friends yes, girlfriends, no!" Derek told her sternly.
"Oh, okay then." She said. The waiter came up. "I'll have strawberry waffle, bacon, two eggs over medium and hash browns. Hold the toast." Meredith smiled.
"Ya think?" Derek joked about the toast comment. "I'll just have a bowl of plain oatmeal." He said. The waiter left. "You will never eat all of that!" He laughed.
"Wanna bet? And what the hell? Plain oatmeal. Man up! Bacon, or steak and eggs. That's a man's meal." Meredith told him with a grin.
"Oh, I am a man!" Derek laughed.
"I wouldn't know." Meredith said, rolling her eyes.
"You remember that?" Derek replied, thinking about the night.
"Remember a man refusing to have sex with me?" Meredith returned sadly. "Yeah."
"So did Addison call you?" Derek asked, taking another drink of coffee.
"Yep. Dinner on Saturday." Meredith answered. "Seven o'clock. And you're coming?"
"Of course. We're all friends." Derek said to her.
"What about her husband? Isn't that weird?" Meredith asked.
"Not at all." Derek answered. The waiter brought their food out. He set two large plates in front of Meredith and a small bowl in front of Derek. Meredith began eating her food. Derek just watched in shock. Meredith made her way through everything.
"You are a pig!" Derek noted.
"I know!" She rolled her eyes. "I was hungry."
"You have something on your face." Derek said, wiping it off with his finger. "It's whipped cream." She grabbed his finger and stuck it in her mouth, licking it off. Derek got wide-eyed.
"Whipped cream can be fun." She said, raising her eyebrows.
"I think there's more..." Derek said softly as he leaned in. His tongue delved deeply into her mouth. Both searching each other's mouthes. The kiss was deep. Meredith didn't want him to stop. She put her hand behind his head and kissed him deeper. Finally, they both pulled away breathless. "I think I got it." Derek said with a smile.
"I think you did." Meredith said with a smile.
---------------
So Meredith slept with him again. Neither she or Derek know who he is to each other. The kissing is a good thing...Right? Please review, and thanks for reading.
