Please don't hate me. Enjoy!

The rest of dinner went well; Meredith was telling Derek stories about Adam. Both of them was enjoying it just being the two of them, just like old times, both of them had missed this, just being able to be them. To any onlooker, they were two people in love, to the outsiders they were loves young dream, living their happy ever after, but nothing was further from the truth. Derek paid the check, and he and Meredith walked out to a waiting cab that took them back to their hotel. Neither of them wanted the night to end, they were enjoying their selves too much, Meredith suggested stopping at the hotel bar for some drinks before going back to their rooms, alone.

When the got back to the hotel and walked into the bar, neither of them noticed a dark haired woman watching them very closely, Derek had his arm around Meredith's waist, whispering in her ear, Meredith giggling Derek gives her a kiss on her head. They ordered their drinks, and Derek saw a couple of his sisters sat at one of the tables, Derek grabbed Meredith's hand, and pulled her towards them. Rose never took her eyes of them, seething. She was furious seeing them all dressed up like they had just being on a date, he had never wore a suit whenever they have gone out of a date, and the fact that Derek couldn't keep his hands off Meredith infuriated her. Rose doesn't sense Mark approaching from behind. Mark can't believe his eyes; he wanders what she is doing here.

"What are you doing here?" Mark says to her, following her eyes to where Meredith and Derek are sat. "They look happy don't they?" she turns and looks at him, giving him an evil look.

"Mark, I thought Derek could do with some support" she said, looking back at Meredith and Derek, Meredith is laughing at something that Amy said, Derek has his arm around her shoulder and pulls her close to him.

"I think he has all the support he needs, don't you?" Mark says quietly, so only Rose could hear him. "Come on Rose, look at them, they can't stop touching or looking at each other. Do you actually think you have a future with Derek?" Mark hisses at her. She can feel the tears well up in her eyes, has Meredith drags Derek up to dance. Both Mark and Rose can hear Derek protesting, and Mer pouting at him. Derek shakes his head, and let Meredith pull him up.

Derek pulls Meredith close to him, has she wraps her arms around his neck and rests her head on his chest. Derek buries his face, in her hair; let the smell of lavender overtake his senses for just a minute until he pulls away. Meredith raises her head to look at him, Derek leans down a give her a light kiss on the lips, Meredith is just about to part her lips, and deepen the kiss, than they both hear someone saying "Derek".

Rose could see watching them, that they were about to kiss, and she couldn't allow that to happen, if he was going to kiss anyone it was going to be her. She walked away from Mark, and over to where they were, and said "Derek"

Derek closed his eyes for just a second, praying that he hadn't heard her, than he hears her saying his name again, he pulls away slightly from Meredith and quietly says "I'm sorry" to her before turning and looking at Rose.

"What are you doing here?" he asked; think how dare, she interrupts his time with Meredith. Rose moves closer to him, and goes to kiss him; Derek moves his head, so she just catches his cheek. He can feel Amy and Olivia's eyes on him, questioning him to who this was. He knew that Meredith had left his side, and saw her walk to the bar. He excused himself and followed Mer to the bar.

"I had no idea she was coming Mer"

"Derek, it's okay. She is your girlfriend" she says not looking at him.

"Meredith"

"What?" she snaps at him, finally making eye contact with him. He is shocked to the anger in her eyes.

"I promise, she goes back to Seattle first thing in the morning"

"You know what, I don't care, Derek. I hope you have a good night with her tonight."

"Meri, don't" he says.

"I know I wanted to wait before we resume any kind of relationship, but I wanted you to prove to me that I could trust you, I guess all you prove is that I can't trust you" she says quietly, but her voice full of anger.

"What do you mean you can't trust me?"

"I asked you to wait but you go off with the next woman that comes along. Twice now, you have chosen someone else over me. Do I actually mean anything to you, Derek? Or, am I someone that you keep around to be your bit on the side. I am sick of it, Derek, I'm sick of being second best to you. I love you more than anything, but do you feel the same Derek, because I'm not sure you do. If you want me back, prove it, prove to me that I can trust you; I love you so damn much that seeing you with her hurts, every time you touch her, kiss her, or even laugh with her, my heart breaks into two. I can't do this anymore Derek" she says before walking away, Derek grabs her arm, and pulls her back to him, and kisses her hard, a kiss that is filled with all the love and longing that he has felt for her, until Meredith comes to her senses, she slaps him across the face, and with one glare she walks away, and over to the table, to get her bag, has she passes Rose she says to her.

"I hope you happy with him Rose, you deserve each other" she says to her, not even trying to be nice. She gives Amy and Olivia a quick hug before going to the elevator and up to her room, with tears running down her face.

Derek stays sat at the bar, not quite believing what she just said. He orders another scotch, Amy sits down beside him.

"Der, what happened?"

"Amy, why do I always screw up with Meredith?" he asks, sadly.

"I don't know Der"

"She said that she was always second best with me, but she isn't. She is the one person that is constantly in my thoughts, she is the first person I think of when I wake up and the last person I think of before I go to bed"

"Have you told her that, Derek?"

"No"

"Derek" he hear Rose say. Derek turns to her. "Rose coming upstairs"

"Yes" she says happily, Derek groans, that woman is way to happy for his liking. Derek gives Amy a kiss and a hug. "Tell Livvie bye, and I see her at the hospital in the morning". Derek heads towards the elevator, with Rose close behind him, they finally make it up to his floor, and Derek lets them into his suite. What Derek doesn't see is Meredith opening her door, and she see Rose going in after him, she had hoped that her little speech had woke him up, but obviously it hadn't, she closed her door, and let the sobs over take her body.
