Izzie sat outside on the swing, drinking a glass of wine, relaxing for the first time in days, but still couldn't keep her mind away from the hospital and Derek. She was so attracted to him, that she couldn't breathe while he stood next to her or was just in the same room with her. At the same time though, whenever she was around Meredith, she felt incredibly stupid and some kind of embarrassed.

Suddenly there was a loud bang and she realized it was the front door, that had been thrown closed. It was Derek who stormed outside and stood in the front garden for a second, before beginning to kick the nearest tree with all his strength.

"I'm sure the tree didn't mean it, whatever it did!" she yelled over to him over his panting and growling. He turned around quickly, being obviously caught by surprise by her.

"Hey Izzie, I didn't know you were here." he said, looking a bit embarrassed.

"I was just taking a minute to myself, my head runs in overdrive every time I come home from work. Can I help with anything? Do you need someone to vent?"

"She drives me crazy. Or we drive each other crazy. She pulled away from me lately and I felt very far away from her, because of… Anyway, I wanted a break, but she freaked out and threw the phone at me."

"Okay, that sounds slightly crazy." she didn't know what else to say, knowing full well she had some kind of part in this, if by choice or not.

"Come, sit down, I have a almost full bottle of wine over here, drink with me."

He came over and sat down beside her, taking her offered glass and emptying it in one gulp.

"Someone is thirsty." she grinned and drank out of the bottle now, after refilling his.

"Right back at you girl." he said, throwing her his first smile since their conversation started.

"When my father started throwing things, I used to hide under my bed, that's no option for you of course."

"I'm sorry."

"No, it's fine, he left when I was seven, luckily, I never saw him again afterwards. My mom was the only one working anyway. I joined her when I was twelve."

"You worked with twelve to get yourself and you mother through life? Where did you grow up?" he said, looking genuinely upset, but interested.

"Mer never told you? I'm surprised. Well, I lived in Chehalis, you know the trailer park… I got out of there when I was eighteen, after an unplanned pregnancy, following adoption. Then I modeled to get through med school… and here I am. One fiancée, one probation and one cheating boyfriend later, still standing." both looked shocked, her for telling him all of that and he, because he never knew what really lay inside of Izzie Stevens.

"I'm sorry for loading all that on you… I never told anybody all of this, my feelings and my past and…"

"It's fine."

"Please don't tell anybody about the adoption, nobody knows and I want to keep it that way."

"Your secret is safe with me."

He lifted his arm and stroked her cheek a bit, whereupon she turned around. Now their faces were only mere millimeters away from another.

He asked innocently with his beautiful eyes and everything Izzie could do was nod, before he closed the gab behind them and their lips met in a long awaited, soft kiss. Izzie couldn't explain it, it was hot and cold and explosive all in one. She could feel his tender breath from his nose tickling hers and his hand, still stroking her cheek. The kiss only lasted about six seconds, but when they pulled apart, it felt like an eternity. As if it was meant to be. As if all this time they had known each other, but always seem to look past one another.

"Could you do that again." she asked, surprised of herself.

"Most certainly." he said and their lips met once more, this time in a much longer, a bit more heated kiss. This time it was Derek who pulled away first, before things went out of hand.

"I should go back inside."

She didn't answer, so he stood and walked slowly to the door, his legs felt as if they would give away under him any second.

He left her alone, still sitting on the same spot she sat earlier.

To be continued…

Hope it was fine, was it? Tell me! And THANK YOU for all your sweet reviews so far!
