Hey guys,thank you for the reviews, follows and favourite's, it makes me really happy to know someone actually read this. Oh and i wanted to mention something that i forgot to say last time, Owen still hates Nathan, he just hasn't told Meredith. Anyway, enjoy the chapter.

My head is spinning, i can't believe i'm doing this. One minute i'm in an elevator preparing to head home and get some sleep and the next i'm talking to a guy and agreeing to have drinks. We hadn't said much on the walk over here but i had learn't his name, Nathan. We were now sat at the end of the bar talking about work when Joe came over.

"What you guys having?" Joe said chirpily.

"Red wine, please" I said quickly, i'd been thinking about it on the way here.

"I'll just have a beer" Nathan said looking at me weirdly (probably because i answered so quick) then passing over the money.

"Thanks" I said, noticing that he'd paid for my drink.

"Coming right up" Joe said as he walked to get glasses.

"It's alright...now tell me about yourself" He had caught off guard with that.

"Umm...well what do you want to know?"

"Everything" One simple word sent tingles all over my body.

"Err.." Racking my brain for something to say "My mother was Ellis Grey" That sparked something in his eyes "I have three kids" His expression then changed to confusion.

"Name's?" He said instead, probably deciding it would be better to not ask. Joe came over with our drinks, then left to tend to another customer.

"Oldest, Zola. Middle, Bailey. Youngest, Ellis" He nodded along as i said each one. After taking a sip of my drink, i questioned him "Aren't you the slightest bit curious about the father?"

"Well, of course i'm curious, but if you want to , you'll tell me when you're ready" He said giving me a slight smile, taking a sip of his drink.

"Maybe i will..."

"Maybe you will..."

For a few seconds we just stared at each other, I was mesmerized by this guy, i don't even know him but it feels like i've known him my whole life. I haven't felt that in a long time...not since Derek.

We'd been exchanging out favourite surgeries, when i glanced at the clock.

2:00

Crap. Amelia and Maggie were probably starting to worry. Nathan was halfway through a story about a patient that he'd saved in his first year in the army, every story he'd told had beat mine, it kind of became a competition between who could tell the best surgery story.

Buzz Buzz

"Sorry" my phone had started buzzing interrupting his story, checking it quickly the display screen said:

Maggie

"Sorry, it's my sister, give me a sec"

"It's alright, go ahead" gesturing towards the phone.

I stood up and moved to the wall so i would be able to hear her. Clicking the Accept button.

"MEREDITH!" Maggie's voiced boomed down the phone. "Where are you?" Her voice sounded urgent, worried.

"I'm alright, i'm at Joe's"

"Wait, why are you at Jo's?" It took me a second to figure out what she meant.

"Not resident Jo, Joe's Bar"

"Oh, wait why are you at Joe's? Your shift finished two hours ago, i thought you said you were coming straight home?" Her voice was filled confusion.

"I did say that but..." Glancing back at Nathan, who was sat talking to Joe, i smiled "i may or may not be on a date, i'm not really sure" There was no point in hiding this, Maggie would have found out at some point.

"OMG that's amazing, Mer!" She sounded more excited than me. I couldn't help but laugh.

"Anyway, i have an early shift tomorrow, so i will probably see you back at the house in about 20 minutes." Glancing at the clock once again. Then Nathan.

"Okay, tell me all about it when you get back, leave no detail out"

"Okay, bye Maggie"

"Bye, Mer" Hanging up the phone, i wandered back to my seat.

"Hey" He said smiling as he saw we walking back over.

"Hey, i have an early shift tomorrow, so i should probably get going" His smile faltered a little

"Can i drive you home?" His smile then resumed.

I thought about it for a moment then said "Sure why not? i can leave my car at the hospital and Alex can drive it back when his shift ends"

"Here we are" i said as we walked onto the porch.

"Here we are" i don't know why but whenever he repeats me, it makes my head spin. He stepped closer filling the gap between us, my heart started to race. Then all of a sudden his lips were touching mine and i found my self kissing back. It felt natural, his lips were soft and gentle, his hand was on my cheek. Then just as quickly as it started, it ended.

"Wow" I muttered to myself, though he must have heard because he chuckled a little under his breath.

"See you tomorrow, Meredith Grey" His hand left my cheek and he gave a sly smile.

"Goodbye" I was still breathless from the perfect kiss we had just shared. I turned to go inside and as i was about to close the door, he gave me a small wave before disappearing into the dark.

Hey, i hoped you liked that, i'm not sure how to feel about this chapter. Tell me what you thought and about things i could change. Also, if you want to suggest things that could happen, cause i have the main things that will happen, but i need some ideas for little things for them. Anyway hope you enjoyed.
