A/N- This was the original start of my story, but i decided they needed to learn to trust each other again before we got here. We have some more of the characters appearing too which is great. Enjoy :)

"He's like a drug Cristina, he's like crack, I just want to spend all day in bed with him, and his hair and those eyes. I want to swim in his eyes. And the sex, oh my god...!" It'd been a week since Derek had confessed to kissing rose, and he'd been more attentive than usual as he tried to prove to her just how sorry he was, and how much he wanted her to know that it would never happen again. A year ago Meredith would have found his behaviour beyond annoying, but she was actually enjoying it, it meant something to her that he was sorry, and wanted her to know that.

"Oh god, please stop there." Cristina begged Meredith, preferring not to hear the intimate details of hers and Derek's sex life.

"Sorry, I just…" Meredith said, trying to stop herself saying too much.

"I think it's sweet," izzie cut in "you're really making a go of it huh?"

"I think so." Meredith grinned. "He's being so sweet and so attentive and he's doing all these little things to make me smile and it's just so nice." Izzie matched her smile and patted her on the shoulder. It was rare for Meredith to have these moments where Izzie was the only one who could appreciate the romance of the situation, so she relished the fact that Meredith had been reunited with Derek after taking so long to decide that he was what she wanted.

"So the rose thing doesn't bother you?" George said a look of utter disbelief on his face.

"At first it did, but now, not so much. I hate that he did it, but it made me realise just how much I want him and the hair and the forever after crap. And he's so damned attentive; I don't ever want to leave the house." She smiled at the thought of the sweet things he'd been doing. The bracelrt, the meals, sex in on call rooms.

"So, what are you doing for him in return?" Alex questioned, a glint in his eye that meant he was going somewhere with this.

"I'm letting him." Meredith joked "and I'm… you don't need to hear what I'm doing."

"No, I don't," Alex agreed, "but you have no qualms about letting us hear it at 2am when we all have to work the next day. No then we have to hear just how much you enjoy being back with Derek, all freaking night. I swear that headboard can't be able to take much more. It sounded like it was about to go straight through the drywall last night." Meredith had gone a deep shade of crimson, whilst Cristina was beside herself laughing.

"Well if you don't like it, you're welcome to go live somewhere else. And while we're on the subject, Derek wants to know if you can help him move the headboard out to the trash, we may have had a little accident with it." She looked at the floor in shame, unable to meet Alex's eye.

"That's what that was?" izzie exclaimed, only spurring Cristina on. "I thought maybe if the headboard finally gave out that'd be reason to stop, but no, it actually made you more, er, appreciative of shepherd." Meredith wanted the ground to swallow her up. She was mortified. Derek opened the door and Meredith ran straight to him, burying her head in his chest.

"We need new roommates." She groaned as he wrapped his arms around her kissing her hair and pulling her out of the door.

"Lucky bastard." Karev muttered as the pair left.

"Do I want to know?" Derek asked her as they made their way towards the cafeteria for a quick bite to eat and a cup of coffee before rounds.

"Alex and izzie heard us last night and heard what happened to the headboard. Apparently, they hear us quite a lot." Even in front of Derek it was embarrassing to admit, and he could be blamed for 99% of the noises that escaped her bedroom of late.

"You're a very vocal person Meredith." He teased her. "Personally I like how appreciative you are when it comes to sex." He laughed and kissed her when she merely frowned at his childishness.

"Sex talk in the breakfast queue, really?" Bailey questioned, turning to look at the two of them. "There is a time and a place, and I really don't think anyone here wants to know what you two get up to in the comfort of your own bedrooms."

"Well if all else fails, you can just tell Dr. Bailey that Karev is picking on you. I'm sure she can keep him behind and give him a good talking to." Meredith cracked a smile and swatted him playfully on the arm as she took her coffee from the barista.

"Children, the lot of them." Bailey mumbled as she walked towards the residents lounge. Derek's pager sounded and he gave Meredith a quick kiss slapping her on the butt as he walked away. Meredith squealed in surprise.

"You need to keep it down dr. grey." Derek joked as he turned the corner. Meredith watched him leave open mouthed. First Alex now Derek, she definitely had to work on being quieter.

"Oh Derek, harder, faster." Alex imitated Meredith as she sat down for lunch after giving Derek a quick kiss before his surgery. "Right there, oh you're so big. Stick it in Derek, now, oh don't stop."

"Alex, just because you can't satisfy a woman the way shepherd can doesn't mean you have to project those insecure feelings onto the rest of us." Izzie defended Meredith as her cheeks burned again.

"Oh, I know how to satisfy a woman, just ask lexie." "Oh no, I'm not a part of this." Lexie gabbled, her cheeks glowing as red as her sister's.

"Alex the noises that come from your room aren't a patch on what comes out of Meredith's. Shepherd definitely provides the better… service. I have a room between the two of you remember." Izzie jibed, knowing he was sensitive about his masculinity, even more so since Meredith had been taking things seriously with Derek.

"Oh, please Meredith is practically screaming just when he looks at her, she's totally overplaying it. No one is that good."

"I beg to differ." Meredith called out suddenly finding her voice. "Derek has a magic pe…"

"I hope this conversation is suitable for the cafeteria." Bailey scolded as she walked past with her lunch. "You certainly better not be discussing dr. grey's sex life again, as though it were somehow everybody's business." It was Alex's turn to blush as bailey left leaving him utterly speechless.

"I'll try to keep it down." Meredith said patronisingly, "but just so you know he is just that good." Her pager sounded and she downed the rest of her drink before running to answer it, leaving Alex with the image.
