Meredith and Derek had been dating for almost two months. Meredith hadn't told her friends that she was dating Derek, not even Cristina. The only person that knew was Mark.
"So how was your date with Holden?" asked Izzie as she and Meredith watched Dr. Hahn's surgery from the gallery. Derek and Mark were sitting doing paperwork a few rows behind.
"It's was fine," said Meredith. "Nice, it was…nice."
"Where did you go?"
"The uh new Italian down by the docks," said Meredith.
"Any sex?"
"Izzie!" hissed Meredith.
"What? You've been dating him for two months, going out every night I might add…it just seems weird that there has only been one sleepover," said Izzie. "You must have thought about it, Holden is hot. He needs a McName."
"It's none of your business."
"Mer sex isn't like riding a bike, you forget how to do it right."
"I haven't forgotten," hissed Meredith painfully aware that Derek was in the room and most probably listening. "Trust me I haven't forgotten."
"Oh well you'll have the house to yourself tonight unless Lexie comes over," said Izzie.
"Don't do anything I wouldn't do and trust me if I was in your shoes I would have my wicked way with Holden."
"Izzie?"
"What?"
"Shut up."
"She's dating Holden?" Mark asked Derek quietly.
"Yeah, I already knew that," said Derek trying to show that it didn't bother him.
"And you're alright about it?"
"There's not much I can do about it, is there?"
"Still…I didn't actually think she would be dating other people."
"Me neither."
"Are you dating other people?"
"Why? What does it matter to you?" said Derek defensively.
"Just being supportive," grinned Mark.
"No I'm not," said Derek grudgingly.
"So not Rose then?"
"Oh yeah that would be a smart thing to do," scoffed Derek. "I'm trying to win Meredith back, so yeah I'm going to go out with the woman I…well not cheated on her with but…anyway it would just not go down well at all."
"And that's the only reason."
"Rose is nice, she's smart, sweet and not exactly hard to look at but…I don't know she's just not what I want anymore…what's the point in putting what I do want in jeopardy for something I know would never work out."
"Dude I was only being polite…no need to spill your guts to me."
"Oh very funny."
---------------------------------------
"Hey," said Derek when he spotted Meredith hovering in a hallway later that day.
"Oh hi," she said.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm not sure," she said. "All my patients are stable, my interns are…doing stuff."
"Alright so you don't have anything to do?"
"I'm not tired," she said.
"Right well I could probably find you a…"
"I'm horny," she blurted out. "Like seriously…ridiculously sex obsessed…sorry that's inappropriate…"
"Not at all," smirked Derek.
"I need to go lie down…like now before I start having hot flashes here in the hallway…" she mumbled opening the door to the on call room. She stumbled inside and looked hesitantly back at Derek who was still watching her, clearly amused. "Do you have a surgery right now?"
"No I was just going to get some coffee," said Derek.
"Right of course you were," said Meredith. "I'm just going to…"
"Meredith do you want anything? A drink or…"
"Uh no I'm alright," she said. "Screw it."
Without any warning Meredith tugged on Derek's and pulled him into the on call room with her, she pushed him up against the door and kissed him like her life depended on it.
"Wait…Mer…Meredith…" said Derek tearing his lips from hers. "We were…slow…taking things slow…"
"I am breaking this ridiculous celibacy rule," said Meredith forcefully. "Almost four months…do you have any idea…"
"Of course I do," said Derek in such a way that it left her with no doubt that he too had been living a life a celibacy. "But…"
"I am breaking the vow of celibacy with or without your help."
That was all Derek needed to hear, no way was he going to let Holden get his grubby mitts on his Meredith. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her to him…
----------------------------------------
Half an hour later, Meredith was sitting on top of Derek gently kissing his lips. She somehow had ended up wearing his scrub top instead of her own. Derek's hands were buried in her hair, gently stroking her cheek occasionally. Then an incessant beeping interrupted them.
"Ugh that's mine," groaned Meredith as she reluctantly pulled away from Derek. Without getting off him she reached over and pulled her pager off her discarded pants. "I have to take this."
"Are you sure?" said Derek pulling her head back down, so he could kiss her again. "Let an intern get it."
"I can't," she groaned. "We'll get caught soon anyway if we don't stop."
"Awww but we were having so much fun."
"hmmmm…I wish I didn't have to but I do," she groaned giving him one last lingering kiss before getting off him and throwing on her clothes.
"Can I see you tonight?" he asked before she could run out the door.
"I…uh have a date with Greg…" said Meredith uncomfortably. "I'll call you though."
