Meredith, George and Izzie were all almost on top of each other when they woke up. It had been a cold night. Unbelievably cold. In fact, Meredith was sure something was wrong with the heat. She had gotten up in the middle of the night and gathered all of the blankets she could find in the trailer and covered them up. George yawned loudly in her face.
"Dear God, George!" Meredith moaned as she threw her head back.
"What?" George asked innocently.
"Your breath. I think an animal died in your mouth." Meredith said with a laugh.
"You're mean." He said as he jumped out of bed.
"And you had your hand on my ass all night." Meredith joked with Izzie.
"You have a very nice ass!" Izzie laughed back.
"It was cold last night." George yelled from the sink.
"No kidding. I think the furnace is broken." Meredith shrugged. "I bet Ian froze his ass off." She said with an evil laugh.
"What has gotten into you?" Izzie asked.
"I hate him. I shouldn't say hate. He just-- I have to get rid of him. I need your help." Meredith pleaded.
"What are we supposed to do?" George asked.
"Hell if I know." Meredith said shaking her head. "So, I think we have time to go to breakfast." Meredith suggested.
"Hey, that's a good idea." Izzie said with a smile. "Three friends, having breakfast..."
"Izzie, you are so hokey." Meredith joked.
-----------------
Meredith, Izzie and George where surprised when they went outside and saw that the house was moving along well. It looked like it was getting close to being done. Meredith shook her head at the largeness of the house. She didn't understand why Derek was making it so big. They drove quickly to the restaurant. They sat down at a table in the back of the cafe. Meredith had called Cristina and asked if her she wanted to meet them. She was waiting when they got there. They all ordered their food, and sat and talked.
"So, you're hiding from Commando Ken?" Cristina asked with a laugh.
"Yes." She said quickly.
"So you never answered me, is he good?" Cristina asked, raising her eyebrows.
"Why do you care?" Meredith asked, as she took a sip of coffee.
"Oh come on. How could I not want to know?" She replied frankly.
"What do you think?" Meredith asked them.
"Yeah!" Izzie and Cristina responded with gusto.
"Please don't do this to me..." George pleaded.
"Yes." Meredith said with a moan.
"Really?" Izzie asked. "Cause he looks it."
"Yeah. He's the best. I mean Derek is...wow. But, Ian, he is skilled in ways that you would not believe. He has had a lot of practice, and I have to tell you it does make perfect! But stay away from him!" She warned.
"Why? Do you still want on him?" Cristina asked with a chuckle.
"No." She spat. "No. He is trouble, and he hurts people. He is bad news. We have to stay away." Meredith warned again.
"We?" Izzie asked.
"All of us. Except you, George, he's not like that. He has these powers..." Meredith explained, making hand motions.
"You are kidding me!" Cristina said with a laugh.
"No." Meredith responded seriously. "He can give you an orgasm, by just looking at you a certain way. I swear."
"So you can't control yourself around him." Cristina pointed out.
"Yes. I can. I have Derek. I love Derek." Meredith said quickly as she stuffed food in her mouth.
---------------
Meredith scrubbed her hands. She wanted to go into Neuro-surgery. It was her dream. She and Derek shared that passion. He was talented and amazing. And now she was stuck with Dr. Hudson. He was a jerk, nothing like Derek. He took arrogance to a whole new level. And apparently, he was one of the few who was not at the conference in New York. She was scrubbing in on a Craniotomy with him. Derek had spoken about him before. They went to medical school together. They did not get along, and she had no idea how she was going to stand in the operating room with him for hours. She scrubbed her hands and walked into the OR.
"Okay, let's begin." He said dryly. "First off. I do things the way I do them. I don't want suggestions. If you think I am doing something wrong, or there is a better way, I don't really care. And I don't like interns. You should stand over there. If you need to see closer, go to the medical library and watch a tape." He spat out as he worked on the patient.
Meredith stood there away from the table. She couldn't stand being in the same room as him. He was a jerk. She wasn't even sure why he asked for an intern. Her mind started to drift as she stood there. Derek was coming home tomorrow. Derek was coming home, and Ian was still there. Still making trouble. She knew he was up to something. He didn't do things to be nice. He obviously needed something from her.
"Doctor." Dr. Hudson shouted. Meredith wasn't listening, she was thinking. "What the hell is her name?" He pointed, asking a scrub nurse.
"Meredith Grey." The nurse responded.
"Dr. Grey!" He shouted.
"Um, yeah." She said as she came back to reality.
"How nice of you to join us." Dr. Hudson said loudly.
"Well, I was trying to decide which I should focus on, her hideous shoes, or his receding hairline." She spat.
"Excuse me?" He asked her with surprise.
"Well, considering I can't even see the operating table from here." She said sarcastically. At this point, she was hoping to get kicked out of the OR.
"You have got to be related to Ellis Grey." He said loudly, glancing up.
"Yeah." She said quickly.
"Only Ellis Grey's daughter would think that she can walk in and own my OR. Like mother like daughter." He replied. "Get over here and look." She walked to the table and watched. "You lack respect." He said.
"You have to give it to get it." She said frankly.
"You are something else." He said as he shook his head. "So, do you get to work with 'The famous Derek Shepherd' often?" He asked sarcastically.
"More than you would imagine." She said with a chuckle.
"I went to medical school with him. He's good. But I'm better." He boasted.
"Hmm." Meredith moaned.
"So what are you thinking about as a specialty?" He asked.
"Neuro-surgery." She said confidently.
"You should switch to Seattle Presbyterian." Dr. Hudson told her.
"Why is that?" She asked with a puzzled look.
"That's where I am." He said happily. "You want to learn under the best."
"I am. Derek is the best." Meredith said quickly.
"Derek, huh? That's a little unprofessional." He told her with raised eyebrows.
"Sleeping with him is even more unprofessional." A scrub nurse said under her breath.
"Is that so?" He asked as he glanced up.
"That would be so." Meredith said smartly. Their relationship was not a secret.
"It's a shame." He said, shaking his head.
"Why is that?" She asked.
"You seemed so smart." He told her. She stood there and rolled her eyes.
--------------
Meredith was stuck doing post-op noted on all of Hudson's patients. He was treating her like a slave. At one point her sent her down to the cafe to get his lunch. When she said no, he said he would have the nurses torture her. She did it, knowing he would only be there for another day and she would most likely never see him again. She came back from lunch and went back to the paperwork he was torturing her with. She felt a hand on the small of her back.
"So where were you last night?" Ian asked. "I know you didn't come here."
"Oh God." She said she rubbed her face with her hands.
"I know you are good at avoiding. And I know it has worked in the past. But not this time. I'm not going anywhere." He said softly, noticing the nurses were eavesdropping.
"Why? Why do you want me to talk to you?" She asked exhaustedly.
"I screwed up. I know that. I just want to make it right." He said with a smile.
"What do you mean, make it right?" She asked.
"Mer, I want you to come home with me. To England. I want things to go back the way they were." Ian said sadly.
"Things can't go back. I can't go back. I was different." Meredith explained. She watched his face drop.
"Who's this, Dr. Grey?" Dr. Hudson asked as he walked up.
"Um." She started.
"Looks personal to me." He said nastily. "I wonder how Dr. Shepherd would feel about this..." He warned.
"Dr. Shepherd?" Ian asked.
"Oh, her boyfriend, and you are?" Dr. Hudson asked.
"He is leaving. I'm sorry, doctor." She gave Ian pleading eyes.
"I will see you around, um, Dr. Grey, is it?" Ian said with a smile.
"Yes, Mr. Atherton." Meredith said with a faint smile. "Good day."
"Too many boys, too little time?" Dr. Hudson asked sarcastically.
"I don't like you." She said frankly.
"Good. I'm not so fond of you myself." He answered as he handed her a pile of papers and walked away.
------------------
Meredith arrived home around six. She sighed when she say a rental car sitting outside her house. She knew who it was. She also knew that she was going to have to do something about it. No one else was home. I can do this, she thought to herself as she pulled into the driveway. She thought about running the key down the side of the car, but it was a rental.
"Maybe I'll just jab the key into his eye." She muttered to herself.
She walked up to the house feeling as if she was being pushed and pulled at the same time. There he sat, on the step. She shook her head as she looked at him. He didn't speak.
"Come on..." She said as she opened up the front door.
"What?" He asked, thinking he had heard her wrong.
"If you want to talk, you have two seconds to get your ass in here." Meredith said loudly as she marched in the house. She heard him walk in the door.
"Nice house." He muttered as he followed her to the kitchen.
"Sit down." She said as she motioned to the counter. "Speak." She said as she grabbed a bottle of water out of the refrigerator, she sat one down in front of him.
"Thanks." He said. "You look great. You have a glow." He said with disbelief.
"Just get to it." She said without and ounce of patience in her voice.
"God, Mer. I haven't seen you. I've worried about you." He said smoothly.
"Bullshit." She said shaking her head. "So what do you want from me?"
"Why do you think that I want something from you." He asked.
"Because all you think about is yourself." She said quickly and defensively. She heard the front door open, revealing Izzie and George.
"Oh hey." George said as he threw his bag down.
"Hello." Ian responded with a smile.
"What's going on?" Izzie asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"We are talking." Meredith said begrudgingly.
"Oh." Izzie responded with and understanding look. "So, do you want me to order pizza?"
"Oh yeah, Iz. Let's have pizza. Maybe a movie, too. With my ex-husband!" Meredith returned with sarcasm.
"Well, we have to eat." She said.
"Fine. Whatever. Order pizza." She agreed.
"So what have you been doing?" Ian asked.
"Working." She said flatly. "Why do you care? You never cared when I was with you."
"I did care, Meredith. I just wasn't good about communicating." He said sadly.
"I'm not going back with you. I am happy for the first time in my life." She said as she pulled out a bottle of tequila and two glasses.
"Really? The first time in you life?" He asked, knowing it wasn't true.
"Yes." She spat as she poured the tequila and shoved a glass at him.
"Well what about Nate?" He asked with an evil grin. She gasped as smacked him hard in the face.
"Don't you ever say his name again." She seethed. "We are done talking. Get out of my house." She screamed as she took a swig straight out of the tequila bottle and stormed upstairs.
She ran upstairs and laid down on her bed. How the hell could he say that? And how does he know Nate's name? He is not going to waltz in here and take over. I am not doing this. I am going to be happy! She told herself. How the hell can I get rid of him. I could kill him. I would have to do it right. But they would know. Everyone would l know it was me. I can't kill a man. I am losing my mind. She came back to reality as he cellphone rang.
"Hey." She said to Derek as she answered.
"Hey." He answered.
"So how is the conference?" She asked, trying to block out the fact that Ian was most likely sitting happily in her kitchen.
"Great. I snuck out early." He told her with a grin.
"Oh?" She asked. "So what are you doing?"
"Well, I'm sitting on a plane..." He laughed.
"You're what?" She said loudly, in shock. "You're on you way? Like now? Like home soon?" She asked.
"Yeah, about two hours." He said happily. "And I can't wait to see you."
"How are you getting here? Do you need a ride?" She asked.
"No. I'll take a cab." He said.
"Are you sure?" She asked.
"Yeah. There's no reason for you to drive to the airport." He answered.
"Okay Iz." She pretended to yell. "Our pizza is here, so I'll see you in two hours." She said quickly.
"Okay. I love you." He answered.
"I love you too." She said as she hung up the phone. "Holy shit." She said to herself.
She dumped out of the bed in a panic. She had adrenaline surging through her veins. She had no idea how she was going to get herself out of this mess. She knew she wasn't going to get rid of him permanently. But she couldn't have him here when Derek came home. She jogged down the stairs and say him sitting in the sofa talking to Izzie. Then it came to her.
"So you're still here." He said to Ian.
"Yep." He said with a smile.
"Well, there is only one thing we do well together--" Meredith started.
"Where's you room?" He asked as he jumped up.
"No, not that. Okay, two things. Sit down. I want to get drunk." She said frankly.
"And have sex?" He asked with a hopeful look.
"No." She spat. "I'll be right back." She said as she walked in the kitchen. "Hey, Iz, can you give me a hand."
"I'm surprised." Izzie said as she walked in the kitchen.
"About what?" Meredith asked.
"That you came back down, and now you're going to drink with him." Izzie responded.
Meredith pulled out a bottle of tequila and two glasses.
"Do you have any sleeping pills?" Meredith asked her as she walked back and forth.
"For what?" Izzie asked.
"Ian." Meredith said quickly.
"No. No! You could kill him. Plus I don't have any. I'm not having any part in this," Izzie said as she walked out.
"Damn!" Meredith said to herself. Now she was screwed. Or was she? She glanced up to a bottle in the back of the cabinet and smiled.
"Okay. You know I can drink you under the table." She said with a laugh.
"In your dreams, my love." He said back. "I am twice your size."
"But I thought you've changed. If you've changed, you aren't partying anymore." She said with a smile.
"Pour them." The said quickly. She poured them both a shot and they slammed them.
"Again?" She asked.
"Of course." He said. She poured them, and the threw them back. Izzie shook her head.
"Now. Let's see if you can drink this..." She said as she poured the liquid into the glass. He threw it back, so did she.
"What the hell was that?" He said, wide eyed.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" Meredith chuckled.
"Are you trying to kill me?" He asked with a chuckle.
"Yes, but I've given up." She smiled.
"Pour me another..." He said.
"Are you sure you're man enough?" She asked.
"Give me that." He said as he grabbed the bottle and drank half of it down. "Holy shit." He said slowly.
"I think the pizza is here." Izzie said, wide eyed. She went to the door. Meredith got up and walked in the kitchen. Izzie followed her after paying for it.
"I hope you ordered my kind too." Meredith asked.
"Of course. What about Ian?" Izzie asked.
"He's not hungry." Meredith said quickly.
"Mer! I'll go ask him." Izzie said as she walked out. She came back in quickly. "I don't think he's hungry." She said with a shocked look on her face.
"I told you." Meredith shrugged. "Is he out?"
"Cold. What the hell did you do to him?" Izzie asked with a worried tone.
"Come on. I need your help." Meredith told her.
"With what?" Izzie asked.
"We need to get rid of him." Meredith said frankly.
"What?" Izzie said loudly. "Oh no! Not me."
"Iz, come on!" Meredith whined.
"No." She said boldly.
"Fine! I will do it myself." Meredith said as she walked into the living room.
She put her hands under his arms and tried to move him. She realized he was way too heavy. Crap. She grabbed her phone and called the only person she wanted to call.
"Hey." Meredith said. "I need your help..."
"I'm kind of busy." Cristina said, out of breath.
"Sex?" Meredith asked.
"Yeah. So goodbye--" Cristina said quickly.
"No! I need your help. Now! I need you right now!" Meredith said in a panic.
"What's going---" Cristina started.
"Just come." Meredith said as she hung up the phone.
Meredith ran out to her Jeep. This was crazy. She couldn't do this. Yes she could. She could do it. She had to protect herself. She quickly folded the back seat down flat and opened the back of the jeep up. She sat there for a few minutes. Finally Cristina pulled up.
"This better be good." Cristina said angrily.
"It is." Meredith answered. They walked in the house. "Grab his feet!"
"Whoa. What the hell did you do to him?" Cristina asked with surprise.
"Just grab his damn feet." Meredith shouted.
Meredith grabbed his top half and Cristina grabbed his feet. They both gasped when they heard him moan. Meredith motioned for her to keep going.
"Damn, he's heavy." Cristina said in shock.
"No shit!" Meredith said as she felt the sweat running her face.
They struggled to get him into the jeep. Meredith climbed in and dragged him. Cristina shoved his feet in and shut the door.
"What the hell?" Cristina said as the door opened back up. She slammed it again.
"Cristina! His foot!" Meredith yelled.
"Opps." Cristina said, as she shoved it back in.
"Here." Meredith said as she threw the car keys at her.
"What?" Cristina asked.
"I'm slightly lit." Meredith responded. They both climbed in the car.
"Where are we going?" Cristina asked.
"Go right." Meredith said. They drove for quite a while.
"So, what the hell?" Cristina asked.
"Derek's on his way. I wasn't going to have this smug asshole in the house." Meredith said quickly.
"So what did you do?" Cristina asked. Meredith just smiled.
They both jumped out of the car. They were at a park. Meredith laughed as she opened the door. This was all too familiar. The door sprung open and they each grabbed a half.
"Lay him on the bench." Meredith said.
"Right here?" Cristina asked with surprise.
"Uh huh." Meredith answered. They laid him down and she grabbed everything out of his pockets. She didn't want anyone to rob him. She grabbed a blanket out of her car and covered him up.
"Goodnight sweetheart!" She said with and evil laugh, as she headed to the car.
"You are rotten!" Cristina laughed.
"I know!" Meredith smiled.
The drive back to the house was quiet. Cristina pulled into the driveway. Meredith threw her the keys to the rental car and they move it down the block. They both sat down with a sigh on the sofa. Izzie was no where in sight.
"So, what did you give him?" Cristina asked. "Sleeping pills?"
"Nope." Meredith smiled. "This." She said, as she handed her a bottle.
"What the hell is this?" Cristina said quickly.
Moonshine." Meredith laughed.
"Moonshine?" Cristina asked.
"Yep. Over 100 proof." Meredith laughed as she took a swig. "Here." She said as she handed her the bottle.
"Holy Mother of God!" Christina said as she gaged. "That it horrible."
"No it's not." Meredith said, taking another sip. "But now you can't drive." Cristina looked at her and laid down on the sofa.
"I'm glad you called." Cristina said as she fell asleep.
"Me too!" Meredith said happily.
--------------
Meredith heard the door open. She ran over and jumped in Derek's arms.
"I missed you." She said, giving him a deep kiss. She felt his tongue enter her mouth.
"Shit. What did you drink?" He asked.
"Moonshine." Meredith giggled. "Come on. We have a lot to make up for." She said as she grabbed his hand and led him upstairs.
She pushed him down on the bed and began unbuttoning his shirt as she gazed into his eyes. He leaned up and she slide it off. She straddled him and slide her own shirt off. He leaned up and unclasped her bra.
She bent down and kissed him deeply. Her tongue travelled down his chest and she stopped at his belt buckle. She quickly and methodically undid it and pulled his pants down, and then did the same with his boxers. She looked up into his eyes and smiled.
He moaned as she began licking him with her tongue. She continued to look into his eyes. She ran her teeth down his shaft gently. He lips moved fluidly. She could feel him growing inside her. He tensed up, and took a deep breath.
"Oh God..." He moaned. She smiled moved up and straddled him. She placed him inside her and paused momentarily. Meredith let out a deep sigh. He placed his hands on her hips and grabbed tightly. She began rocking her hips slowly. She looked into his eyes and smiled. Everything else was gone. Al her worries disappeared. She began rocking faster. "Oh God I love you." He moaned, she just smiled. She could feel herself beginning to tighten around him. He moaned deeply. He rolled over and pressed her knees up. She smiled at his need for control. She liked it when he did.
"Oh dear God Derek!" She said as teetered near the edge. He pushed into her harder with every moan she let out. She pulled her knees up father, feeling him drive farther into her. She could feel her orgasm taking over. She felt a wave of heat rush over her. "Oh God!" She shouted loudly as he pounded into again. "Derek!" She shouted. He felt her cum around him. Derek moaned as he was nearer to his own climax, and he released inside of her with a loud moan. They both collapsed against each other.
"God I missed that." She said, looking up at him. "And I missed you." She said quickly as she laid her head against him.
"You are amazing." He sighed. "I love you."
"I love you too." She answered. "More than anything."
She felt a bit of guilt creeping up. Now was not the time to bring up Ian. But when was. She sighed as she looked into his eyes. She had never loved anyone like him. And she had be sure, she didn't screw it up.
-----------
Okay, so Derek is back...Yay! Don't worry about Ian. I love Ian, but Meredith DOES NOT! Don't worry...just me! He's the kind of guy you can have a lot of fun with :) So the story goes on. Probably no update tomorrow, I have a lot to do. I am thinking seriously of posting this on FFGA too. So read and review!!!
