A/N: Yay New chapter! Hope you like it! I wrote it at like 3am so I apologize for any grammar mistakes.

The next day Meredith just felt like she needed to get away from it all. She went to the one place she figured she could be alone, the park. In her state of confusion, this left Meredith completely forgetting that it was where Derek, always seemed to be.

She seated herself on a bench and tried clearing up her mind. She liked Brian, or did she? Wasn't she over him from a while ago? Yet, she also had feelings for Derek. She let out a heavy sigh, "Why must love be so confusing?" She asked herself quietly.

"Hey there, Merebear," Derek said and seated himself next to her. She really did hate that, but she never bothered to him, something about him saying it did make her feel good. "You look pretty down in the dumps today," he commented. "Something wrong?"

"Oh, nothing really," the brunette replied putting on a fake smile.

"Wanna talk about it?" She shook her head. "Ah alright I understand. So, uh, where's your boyfriend, Brady?"

"It's Brian," Meredith quickly corrected him, "And he's not here. And he's not my boyfriend anymore," She quickly added. "Never was in the first place," She mumbled unheard to him.

"Really?" He said and looked slightly pleased, "So, I guess that means your free for tonight then? What do you say, Meredith? Have Dinner with me tonight?" Derek added in an extra grin.

Meredith felt her stomach do a flip, was he really asking her out? Did her plan succeed all along? "O-Of course!" Meredith quickly smiled brightly.

"So, I'll see you tonight then? Say 8 o'clock, maybe? I'll pick you up at your place?" Derek asked standing up off the bench.

"Um, yeah! That sounds great," Meredith smiled and blushed softly. "I'll see you then," She and waved goodbye to him as he left. She could hardly contain her excitement for the night ahead of her.

Meredith stood in front of the mirror a few hours later, fixing her hair and make-up for the night ahead of her. She was nervous, but also excited at the same time. Finally settling on a hairstyle she stepped out to the small living area in the apartment where her roommate was, "So how do I look?" She asked and turned around slightly so Denise could see all of her.

"Wow, you look great!" Denise said and put down the magazine she was reading. "Why so fancy schmancy, Mere?"

"I have a date tonight," She grinned proudly.

"With Brian?" Denise said hopefully.

"No. Not with Brian," she said more sternly than was necessary. She probably should've told Denise what happened in the last day, but that could wait for tomorrow. "I have a date with Derek,"

"Oh," Denise nodded softly, "So what happened with Brian then?"

"I-I'll tell you tomorrow, okay? I pro-, " Meredith was interrupted by a knock at the door. "Oh! He's here!" She grinned brightly, "I'll see you later tonight Deeds, okay?" She said then quickly left the room.

"Have fun!" Denise quickly said before the door shut.

The next morning, Meredith woke in a haze with a serious headache. She looked around the unfamiliar setting; finally she realized the fact that she was completely undressed. She quickly wrapped the bed sheet around her and tried to put the pieces together of the previous night. She could remember the restaurant, and wine. A Lot of wine. The she remembered going home with Derek, where there were more drinks involved.

It was obvious what had happened afterwards, she'd got drunk then slept with him. Something she swore she'd never do, but now look where she was. Her thoughts were interrupted by the door opening. The creak made her cringe and she held the sheets even tighter to her body as Derek entered. It was actually quite a surprise, he had breakfast with him. "Good Morning, breakfast is served," He said nonchalantly and placed the tray in front of her.

Scrambled Eggs. Her least favorite, but food was food and she was going to eat it."Derek what happened last night?" She asked taking a bite of her eggs.

Derek recounted everything from the night before, "Look, Meredith, I hope you don't think I'm a dick or anything for doing that to you last night, I was pretty buzzed," He confessed.

"I don't," She said truthfully, he made her breakfast, anyone else probably would've just left her. He couldn't be that bad of a person. Plus, they were both drunk, of course they were going to do stupid stuff. It was just going to be that one time right?

An hour later, after breakfast and some talking, Derek drove Meredith back home, where she would have to explain to Deeds about Brian, and why she was returning the next morning. Something she was not looking forward to.
