Derek watched as Meredith walked into the lobby. He picked up his brief case and walked over to her.
"I didn't think you were coming." he thought she had changed her mind.
"I wouldn't do that to you. I had to sign off on some charts." she smiled.
Derek reached for her hand. "Ready?"
Meredith smiled as he lead her out to his car.
"Are you going to tell me where we are going?" she didn't like surprises.
"It's a surprise. Let's just say it's something that I want to share with you." he opened the passenger side door.
Meredith took a deep breath and climbed into his car.
George stood watching as Meredith climbed into Derek's car.
"What are you doing?" Izzy asked.
"He's going to hurt her." George didn't trust Derek. He was a married man fooling around with his best friend's heart.
"George she's a big girl. Come on let's go home." she smiled.
George nodded his head.
"Close your eyes" Derek looked to make sure she was listening.
"Seriously?" she felt like a kid.
"Come on humor me. Please" he added.
"Okay" she closed her eyes.
Derek put the car in park. He climbed out of the car and walked over to her side.
"Just so you know. Everyone knows that I came with you" she laughed.
"Seriously Mer. You think I could ever hurt you." he helped her out of the car.
He took a hold of her arm. "Keep your eyes closed."
Meredith did as he said. She trusted this man with her life.
"Open"
Meredith opened her eyes. It took a couple minutes before her eyes adjusted.
She looked around. "What is this?" she asked.
"This is my land. My trailer." he smiled.
Meredith looked around. "It's beautiful"
"Thanks I want to build a house. Not right now eventually"
"Why did you want to show this to me?"
"To show you that I am not leaving. I am staying Meredith right here in Seattle"
Meredith looked at him. She didn't know what to say. "What about Addison?"
"We are over. I could never return to that life. I was so involved in my work. Anything to ignore the pain that I was feeling in my heart. Pain from you leaving. Walking away from the love that we shared. I should have ran after you. Instead I married for the wrong reasons. Hoping that it could take the void out of my life. It didn't happen Meredith. The only person who can take that void away is you. I blamed Addison for having the affair. Now I know that it must have been hard living with me. I was never in the relationship. Please don't run away. Give this a chance." he looked into her eyes.
Meredith was scared. Afraid that this was a dream. That any minute she would wake up alone. "Derek I want this. I have never wanted anything as much as I want you."
"I hear a but" Derek knew that she wasn't finished.
"It's just that your married. Your married Derek and what if you decide to go back. I will be left alone."
"Take a chance Meredith. Neither of us knows for sure what will happen. Take chance with me" he looked at her.
Meredith knew the look that he was giving her. The look that had melted her heart years before. It was the same look that she missed everyday since she left.
"Okay" she laughed.
Derek pulled her into his arms. "You will not regret this."
"I know" she tilted her head. Welcoming Derek's lips on hers.
"I have another surprise" he took a hold of her hand.
"Please tell me that I can leave my eyes open"
"You can leave them open" he laughed.
He lead her inside.
"You did this for me?"
"I figured if you turned me down. I would still be hungry" he teased.
Meredith looked at the table. He had made an excellent candle lit dinner.
Izzy changed out of her clothes.
"Do you think he will hurt her?" she looked at Alex.
"No he likes her. Let's not talk about them. I was thinking we could enjoy each other tonight" he stood up and walked over to her.
"George is worried"
"Come on Izzy you know how he is"
"I know he got me worried."
"I can take your mind off of that" he started kissing her neck.
He knew that it would distract her.
"Okay you win. Let's concentrate on us." she laughed as Alex led her to the bed.
"That's all I am saying" he said as he switched off the lamp.
"Thanks for dinner" Meredith rubbed her stomach.
"Are you sure that you had enough?" he didn't think she ate enough.
"Seriously, I am so fool." she took a sip of her wine.
"Will you stay with me tonight?" he asked.
"Yes" she stood up.
Derek led her into his bedroom.
"It's not exactly perfect" he picked up the clothes that lay on the floor.
"It's you" she knew that his dream was to own land like this.
"You know me better than anyone else" he took her hand and led her to the bed.
"Tonight is about us Meredith Grey" he smiled.
Meredith ran her fingers done his face.
"Promise that you will never leave me." he needed to hear the words.
"I promise" she said.
He kissed the top of her head. He slowly trailed kisses down her neck.
"Can we take this slow?" she wasn't just talking about tonight. She wanted to take their relationship slow as well. She didn't want to jump in with her eyes closed.
What they shared was bound to become messy.
Meredith knew that trouble always seemed to find her. This time she would not run. She would fight for Derek.
"Slow" he smiled.
A/N: Okay sorry that this update took so long. I have a couple ideas for this story. One main outcome will be Mer/Der. Also I hope to involve Christina in this story as well as Dr. Hunt. I haven't figured out all of the details yet so bare with me. I also think that I will introduce Lexie yet still hesistant on the details. If anyone has any suggestions feel free to speak them. As always read and review. Thanks for all of the reviews so far. I hope to have an update tomorrow. Maybe tonight if I don't fall asleep.
