Chapter 8
Meredith yawned, scrunched her eyes up and stretched in the bed as she woke up. Well she stretched the best she could in the arms that encased her. The night well morning before had been well it was kind of fuzzy now but it had been great. Wine, sunrise, Derek and sleep.
She opened her eyes to look at the man beside her and smiled. Who would have thought that dark and twisty Meredith would have fallen in love.
However now, now she needed to pee and go to work. She wasn't the hot attending sleeping next to her, she couldn't choose to start later, but he couldn't either because her car was at the hospital and so she needed him to drive her.
She started to wiggle to get out of his hold but when his hold tightened she knew he was ok.
"Where you going?" he mumbled, into the pillow.
"I need to pee," she giggled. "Plus I need get to work so you have to get up."
She got free and when she came back from the toilet, she squealed as he tugged her into the shower.
Half an hour later travelling coffee cups in hand and toast clamped between teeth they were ready to head out.
"I like it here," said Meredith. Derek looked at her as he drove down the road towards the dock. "It's nice, quiet and peaceful."
"Exactly why I chose it," smiled Derek.
A giant tumour, a girl with a giant tumour. Meredith was on Derek's service. Blood was taken, labs were done, scans were done and then all that was left was to monitor before surgery.
"Good lunch with the other interns?" asked Derek, as he fell into step with her.
She nodded. "Until you page me."
"Well you were needed," he answered.
"Really?" she asked.
"You looked a little uncomfortable," he said.
"George tried to ask me out," said Meredith, as she stood next to him.
"I'm your boss," said Derek.
"For a moment your not. Your something," said Meredith.
"Ok he tried to ask you out?" asked Derek.
"Yeah," laughed Meredith. "He was stuttering about going out drinking mostly at me. So I gathered he was trying to asking me out."
"What did you say?" asked Derek.
"Nothing you paged me," smiled Meredith.
"You should tell him your having dinner with you boyfriend," said Derek, as he turned to walk off.
"Is that what you are?" asked Meredith.
"Defiantly," smiled Derek, as he went to scrub in for Annie's surgery.
Meredith spent the afternoon and surgery doing charts. The surgery was unsuccessful when bleeding was uncontrollable. Then the day was over.
"So?" asked Derek.
"I'm off," said Meredith, as they headed towards an elevator.
"I'm on call tonight so I'd prefer if you'd sleep at yours," said Derek.
"I would as well. The thought of that trailer at night of my own," smiled Meredith, as they entered the elevator.
"Oh I meant to give you something before," said Derek.
"Hmm?" asked Meredith.
He reached into his pocket and pulled out something that jangled and when he placed it in her hand she realized it was set of keys.
"My office and the trailer," said Derek.
"Your giving me hiding places," smiled Meredith.
"I suppose I am," smiled Derek.
"I'll get some cut for you," smiled Meredith.
"I'll see you tomorrow," said Derek, just before they reached Meredith's floor.
"See you," smiled Meredith, before she left the elevator.
