Both Meredith and Derek woke up to a door opening. Derek looked up to see who it was and when he saw Meredith's parents he nearly fell off the bed. Meredith couldn't stop laughing and her parents looked on amused.
"Meredith we just got home we are going to get showered and cleaned up. When are all your friends coming?" Ellis asked Meredith.
"Umm…they said around eleven." Ellis nodded and looked over to Derek.
"Derek did you invite your family?" She asked him.
"Yes, I did they agreed to be here at around eleven as well." Ellis nodded at him and both her and Richard left to go to their room to get changed.
"Wow, that must've been embarrassing." Meredith said while laughing at Derek. He glared at her and she got up and went to give him a kiss. They both instantly forgot about what just happened when Derek decided to deepen the kiss.
Derek was also the one to pull away not wanting to start something with Meredith's parents just down the hall. "So we should get ready it's already 10:30, so people should be showing up soon." Derek said going to get the pacsun bags that had his shorts in. Meredith also grabbed the bag with her new bikini and started to get undressed right in front of Derek.
"Meredith as much as I love your gorgeous body I really can't have you changing in front of me right now because I weiil want to do tempting things to it and that wouldn't be very good since your parents are right down the hall." Derek rambled never taking his eyes off of Meredith. She laughed when she heard him say all of this.
"Just turn away. I'm almost done anyways and concentrate on changing yourself. Or you can always go in the bathroom." Meredith said tying the sides of her bikini bottoms. "And plus I'm all done anyways." when Derek could finally look back at her after changing himself he was stunned with how beautiful she looked.
"You really are beautiful Mer." He said pulling her in for yet another kiss.
When they pulled apart Meredith took Derek's hand and dragged him downstairs and outside to the pool. When Derek caught Meredith off guard he picked her up by the waist and threw her into the water. She screamed but the sound was soon drowned out by the water. When she came up from the deep water she glared at Derek who was too busy laughing to notice.
"Derek that was not nice I am so getting you back for that." Derek still couldn't stop laughing and he was standing close to the edge of the pool. Meredith swam there and pulled him into the water by his legs. When he came up he pulled her close to him and kissed her.
"This water feels perfect." Derek said starring deeply into Meredith's eyes and pulling her into a deep passionate kiss. Meredith pulled away when she heard the sliding door. She looked up and Cristina, Burke, Izzy, and Alex, were there.
"Hey Mer how's the water?" Izzy asked looking at Derek come out of the pool ,to get his phone that was ringing, dripping wet.
"It's warm." Meredith said swimming around. Derek picked up his phone when he noticed it was mark and wrapped a towel around himself.
"Hey what's up?" Derek asked into the phone while looking at Meredith swim around.
"I'm outside Meredith's house. Do I go in by the front door or the gate on the side of the house." Mark asked.
"Just go by the front I will go open the door for you." Derek said making his way to the front door to open it. Hen hung up and when he opened the door surely mark was standing there.
"So does grey have any hot friends?" Mark asked coming into the house and following Derek to the outside. Derek looked back at him and gave him a look that told mark to not even go there. Everyone was already in the pool so Derek jumped in and mark followed soon after taking his shirt off. He instantly bonded with Meredith's friends.. More people started to show up and when all of Derek's friends came at once Derek took her over to them to meet them all.
"Okay Meredith these are my friends. Riley, Brandon, Weiss, Sadie, Taylor, Emily, Ashley, and Nick." Meredith shook everyone's hands as Derek said their names. "And everyone this is my girlfriend Meredith." Derek was happy that his actual friends were here and they could be happy for him and Meredith and welcome her.
"The pool is open and there is food in the kitchen so help yourselves to anything at all except if I were you stay away from the alcohol because my mother is home and she will be pissed." Meredith said gaining a laugh from all of Derek's friends. Meredith went back in the pool after talking a while with the girls that were Derek's friends and after getting another kiss from Derek.
"Yo man Addison was definitely wrong she has no clue what she is talking about. Meredith seems great I like her. She's real good for you man." Nick told him patting him on his shoulder.
"Yeah Mer, she is really amazing. And it's about time you guys noticed Addison is full of crap." Derek said and everyone nodded.
"Hey what happened with the coach yesterday? We heard you aren't playing anymore. Man we can't win the championship this year without you. You are out best player you can't just give up on us man." Riley asked wondering what was going on in Derek's mind.
"Dude he was riding my ass about not showing up for practice one morning out of 2 years of practices. Long nights and early mornings with him. I'm not about to take his shit anymore and plus I'm on the soccer team now and I want to play soccer again it's good for me. And I'm helluva lot better in soccer than in basketball. I wouldn't have quit if I didn't know you guys couldn't do it and I promise I will try to come to every game." Derek said reassuring him.
"Ok we are going in the pool because it is freaking hot here and we are sick of talking about sports all the time. Don't you boys think it's getting kind of annoying?" Taylor asked them before the girls left.
"Trying to be funny Taylor?" Nick asked.
"Sports never get boring for us guys. But I have to admit I will join you in the pool because it is getting hot out here." Brandon said taking off his shirt and throwing it onto a chair and jumping into the pool. Everyone ended up going in the pool except for Derek who went into the house after he got a text message from his little sister saying they were outside.
When Derek went in the house he saw Ellis and Richard on the couch actually watching TV. He went to the door and saw all his sisters with their boyfriends and his mother.
"Hey Derbear." Nancy said going into the house first. Ellis stood up and greeted everyone and Richard shit the TV off and joined her as well.
"Carolyn it is so nice to see you. It has been a very long time." Ellis said taking her into a tight hug.
"It has been way too long Ellis." Carolyn said hugging her back . After everyone met everyone all the kids went outside. On their way outside Meredith was coming in.
"Hey we are about to play some water volleyball you guys want to join?" Meredith said asking everyone.
"Totally." Jason answered and everyone went outside while Meredith and Derek stayed behind. Derek pulled Meredith close to him once everyone was gone and leaned down to kiss her.
"Hmm I missed you." Derek said in between kisses. Meredith laughed, gave him one more kiss, and pulled him outside to play volley ball.
"Mer we have 28 people so 14 on each team and since we have many athletic boys here today we are not doing boys vs. girls." Cristina said taking control of the whole situation.
So let's choose two captains. You two I never got your names so congrats you two are the captains." Meredith said pointing at Nancy and Kathleen's boyfriends.
"I'm Jonathan by the way and that's Kyle." Meredith nodded and waited for them to choose the teams.
They chose all the teams and one team ended up being Jonathan, Kathleen, Mark, Ashley, Owen, Teddy, Alex, Izzy, Riley, Arizona, Weiss, Sadie, Amelia, and Logan. The other team was Kyle, Nancy, Derek, Meredith, Burke, Cristina, George, Callie, Nick, Emily, Brandon, Taylor, Jason, and Stephanie. Both teams took their own sides and Mark started the game. After playing for a while Jonathan's team one since all the guys on Kyle's team were paying attention to the girl's bodies.
Mark and Derek took the net down from the middle of the pool. "Oooh I have an idea lets play chicken! We have exactly 14 boys and 14 girls so girls on top of boys." Taylor said. Everyone agreed with her and everyone got into pairs.
After a bunch of pushing and laughter it was down to the last two pairs, Meredith and Derek against Cristina and Mark. Meredith wasn't surprised when she saw Cristina ask Mark to be her partner. Cristina just wanted to win and she knew Mark would be better than any of the other guys.
Cristina ended up winning as always pushing Meredith into the water with one big push. Meredith took Derek down with her and everyone was laughing and having fun.
Everyone except for Meredith and Derek and a few others went inside to go eat.
"You not hungry?" Derek asked giving Meredith one of the towels that he brought over to her. She dried her self off along with Derek.
"Yeah I am but I can wait. I don't want to go into that crazy mob of hungry teenagers just yet." Meredith said looking back into the kitchen through the sliding door.
"Yeah me either." Derek said sitting behind Meredith and wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her close. They were sitting at the edge of the pool with their feet dangling in the water. "You having fun so far?" Derek asked and Meredith nodded yes.
"I like your friends by the way." Meredith laughed.
"Yeah they are fine it's just Addison and some of her possy." Derek told her.
"Yep I really don't like Addison and I don't think I ever will." Derek nodded and smiled at her and kissed the side of her head.
"I have known Addison for a long time and I still don't like her." Derek laughed. "Lets grab some food it looks like the crowd in the kitchen died down a bit." Derek said standing up and then helping Mer up. They went in and grabbed some food and a soda then came back out to eat. They were all joking around with each other and everyone was just enjoying themselves without all the drama that usually goes on at school. People started to leave because they things to do and places to go.
When it was only Meredith and Derek and his sisters and their boyfriends left they started to clean up a bit outside.
"So do you guys need anything else because me and logan have to go?" Amelia said after helping clean up.
"No we are good. It was nice meeting you." Meredith said to Derek's sister and her boyfriend before they left.
"Sorry Meredith I have to go to I have shopping plans but I will see you later." Nancy said and left with her boyfriend after giving Meredith a hug.
"Just because everyone left doesn't mean we cant swim lets go!" Stephanie said and grabbed Meredith's hand to pull her into the pool with her. Derek shrugged and jumped in along with everyone else. Everyone was playing around and splashing each other and having fun. They were in the pool for so long they didn't even notice it get dark. The parents were on the patio table talking and watching them enjoy their time.
"Hey it is time for dinner. How bout you all go clean up then we can eat?" Everyone started to get out and everyone headed into empty rooms and bathrooms to get dressed. They all came downstairs and took a seat at the table to eat dinner. After eating dinner all the Shepherds left and Ellis and Richard headed up to bed leaving Derek and Meredith alone downstairs.
"We finally get to relax." Meredith said laying her head on Derek's chest as they laid down on the couch.
"Agreed. You should probably go up to bed." Derek said when he noticed Meredith was slowly falling asleep.
"Are you staying tonight?" Meredith asked him as she got up.
"I would love to stay but I haven't slept in my own bed in a while. Unless you want to go sleep at my house." Derek said pulling Meredith down to sit on his lap.
"What about we sleep at your house tomorrow and for now we can just go upstairs and fall asleep in each other's arms." Derek smiled and kissed her.
"Let's go upstairs then." Derek said taking her hand in his and leading a very sleepy Meredith upstairs. Derek took off his shirt and got into bed. Meredith picked up his shirt and put it on after taking all her clothes off.
"You look cute in my clothes." Derek said when Meredith was getting into bed with him. She cuddled into his warmth and instantly fell asleep from his scene. Derek kissed her forehead and after getting a big sniff of her lavender conditioner he was out as well.
