Thanks everyone for the reviews! It seems like you guys want me to continue this. I thought of different ways I would go about this and how I could make it work and I think the best way is to do this as a part one and a part two. Part one will be shorter but will document their summer together and then Part two is going to be set 5 years in the future. As always, please review! It keeps me motivated to update faster.
The days of summer were long, but the weeks felt short as they passed quickly and wildly in their little Boston suburb. It had been a week since Derek's mom's birthday party, and Meredith and Derek had spent nearly every day together. It entailed a lot of sneaking, secret nights hiding out in Meredith's bedroom, a lot of sex and a newfound guilt creeping in. Luckily for them, Amy was preoccupied with her new boyfriend which made things easier, but it was still difficult. Derek's dad was also watching them a bit more and Meredith was scared that any minute he would decide he no longer wanted to keep their secret. Derek was growing impatient, but Meredith's stubbornness wasn't waning. She reminded herself daily that this was temporary with Derek and that once school was back in session, she would be back at Columbia, and he wouldn't have any interest in doing the whole long-distance thing with her. They argued constantly. She frustrated him and he annoyed her. Their days were filled with zings of the worst things they could say to each other and then moments when they both felt their hearts would explode if they couldn't be together. Meredith tried to end it constantly, but he always won her back. It felt like electromagnetism, like they were meant to be together despite their abundant differences. All they seemed to agree on was that they couldn't stop whatever this was as they both derived far more pleasure from it than they were willing to admit.
Derek planned a day for them out at the lake. Partly, because he loved seeing Meredith in a bikini and mostly because she loved to swim, and he wanted more than anything to make her smile. She didn't smile often but when she did, he felt like he was on top of the world. Not that he was ever willing to tell her that. It was too raw and too real to say let alone to think.
"So, we're swimming?" Meredith asked with a smile as she pulled her tube top over her head revealing the top half of her bikini. They argued on the ride to the lake until he pulled her in for a kiss, effectively shutting her up as his tongue danced with hers.
Derek watched her undress. She was wearing a new red bikini that dipped low revealing her plump breasts. Derek smiled at the thought of her buying a new bathing suit for him. He hoped he was the reason behind the new suit. He wanted her to want him.
"We're swimming" he confirmed eyeing her as he pulled off his shirt and watched her wiggle out of her tiny shorts.
"I like to swim" she told him earnestly as she moved her clothes to the side of the blanket that he had laid out for them. There was also a speaker and a picnic lunch he brought.
"I know." He told her with a smirk. She rolled her eyes playfully at the arrogant act he seemed to always put on. It drove her crazy.
Meredith began to walk towards the water, looking forward to submerging her body in the cool feeling of the water all around her. It was a hot day and the sun seemed to be hellbent on shining down right on top of her.
"Hey, what do you think you're doing?" Derek asked with his arms crossed watching her backside as she walked towards the water.
She turned back and looked at him with her nose scrunched up "Swimming?" she answered in a voice that said 'Duh, what do you think'.
"Sunscreen?" Derek asked. Meredith rolled her eyes.
"Oh, come on, this can be fun" Derek told her suggestively as she walked back over to him.
"Make it fast Derek. I am beyond hot." Meredith complained looking at him widely with her green eyes that he was finding himself getting lost in by the day.
"You are." He told her smirking as he rubbed the lotion into his hand.
His eyes took a long sweep over her, and he started applying the lotion to her arms at first. He laughed as he spread it across her neck and chest. His eyes darkened as he rubbed the lotion across her breasts, nearly taking Meredith's breath. He worked his way down her stomach and then along her long lean legs.
"Turn" he instructed huskily, and she did as he said. From behind she could feel his erection pressing into her. She shivered when she felt his breath on the back of her neck and his mouth dangerously close to her earlobe as his hands worked into her back then down along her ass. He paid extra close attention to both cheeks, driving her wild.
She thought he was going to kiss on the side of her neck but instead quietly whispered "Let's go swim" softly into her ear in a way that made her shiver and let out a breath at the same time.
She couldn't help the feeling that took over her when his hands touched her. He drove her crazy and every time she felt she was closer to ending it, she took one look at him and she was back under his spell.
"What about you?" she asked with an eyebrow raised "You so arrogant, you don't think the sun's rays can penetrate your perfect McDreamy skin." She mocked with fake annoyance.
"Perfect McDreamy skin, I like that" Derek replied wiggling his eyebrows.
"Letting you burn now" Meredith told him as she ran towards the water leaving him in the dust.
Derek followed her and quickly caught up to her lead, wrapping his arms around her from behind and pulling her deep into the water.
"You drive me insane" he told her softly while he watched her mouth still holding tightly to her body. Their faces were mere inches away from each other.
Meredith leaned in and kissed him. She drank him in, their mouths pressed together just felt so good, so right.
When she broke their kiss, her hands moved through his dark thick locks, and he watched her face.
"What are you thinking right now?" she asked him softly
"I wish I could tell you." He replied quietly their eyes holding onto each other's fiercely.
"You can" she told him pulling him closer to her.
His hand absently ran through her soft dirty blonde hair. It was already getting lighter this summer from the sun, and he loved how golden it looked in the sunlight.
He cocked his head to the side giving her his Mcdreamy look in a rare moment of letting his guard down in front of her.
"I'm thinking about the night of my mom's party."
"What about it?" she murmured as she pressed a kiss to the side of his neck. His skin was soft and warm across her lips.
"I asked you if this was something. Do you remember?"
"I do" she told him tightly.
"I'm just….. thinking about that." Derek told her; his eyes slightly stormy as if he was thinking hard.
"You shouldn't be." She told him quietly fidgeting with her bracelet. He looked at her sadly for a split second before his eyes turned mischief and he grabbed her under the water holding her tightly to him.
"I bet I can out swim you." He whispered huskily in her ear after she yelped out from the sudden contact.
"I think that you're forgetting what a fantastic swimmer I am" Meredith told him proudly.
"Ah- who's arrogant now?" he asked her as his eyes danced wildly.
"Still you." She told him as she broke away and swam around to prove her point.
"Still you hehe. What a great comeback" he mocked sarcastically which earned him a huge splash in the face from her. Her giggles echoed the area and he temporarily forgot that this couldn't be forever.
They went for hours, swimming back and forth between two bridges in the lake. Each keeping score of who swam faster, baiting the other and shit-talking like they always did. They had a blast, not that she would admit it, but it was one of the best days Meredith could think of. There was no sneaking today, just the two of them together, completely free, and unattached at the lake, making memories that they both knew would last a lifetime even if they did not.
When they eventually tired themselves out, they both made it to where Derek set out the blanket for the picnic. She laid out basking in the sun, waiting for it to dry her body and warm her swimsuit. Derek took a black bucket hat out of his cooler and put it on her head smiling at the way it looked on her. He loved seeing her in his clothes.
She moved her body so that she was sitting right next to the cooler. Derek watched in amazement at she excitedly pulled food out. He brought, cheeses, deli meats, crackers, fruit, and chocolate. He delighted at how eagerly she began stuffing her face and laughed at the bottomless pit in her stomach that she always seemed to possess. He decided he better join her in eating or there would be none left for him. He grabbed the fruit she was about to stuff in her mouth.
"Hey" she yelped aggravated that he was stealing her food.
"At the rate you're going, there's not going to be any left for me." He teased
"Are you calling me fat?" she huffed.
He rolled his eyes "You are far from fat, but you are a little bit of a hog." He admitted smiling sheepishly.
"Well, if I'm a hog then you're a Panda." Meredith sputtered.
"A Panda? Cute and Cuddly, I could see it." He told her proudly.
"No, I took a zoology class last semester and we learned that Pandas are the stupidest animal in the world."
"Why would you take a zoology class?" Derek asked forgetting momentarily that she called him stupid.
"I registered late, and it was the only elective class still open." She told him shrugging.
"Hmmm, you know I don't have those problems at Harvard. Probably because it's a much better school."
"How cliché, the good ole Harvard superiority comment"
"Some cliches exist for a reason you know?" he countered
"Like you and me" she told him with a small smile.
"How are we a cliché?" he asked intrigued.
"You're the boy next door, I'm the girl. We overlooked each other for years, probably because you're so old but then something happens and we're here." She told him casually as she bit into a piece of pineapple.
He drank her in, her blonde hair drying slowly in the sun, the freckles that framed her cheeks and the tan-ness of her skin, her tiny red bathing suit that left nothing to the imagination, the way her green eyes danced, her tiny ineffectual fists, her ridiculous eating habits.
Gently he propped himself up and brought both his hands to her face softly and kissed her mouth evenly. She responded quickly kissing him back just as passionately. She moved back until she was straddling him on the blanket. She felt him harden under her as their tongues danced. His hands moved from her waist to her hair, gently pushing it out of her face and moving them closer together.
"You're beautiful" he murmured as he pushed himself back from her to take in the sight of her on top of him. She blushed under his intense gaze.
"I mean it Mer, you're really beautiful" he whispered before taking her mouth in his again. Gently he slid her bikini top off her revealing her plump breasts. Immediately, he took one breast in his mouth and began sucking eagerly and licking her nipple. She sighed at the contact.
"Derek, I need you" she murmured reaching for his swim trunk bottoms in an attempt to pull them off and set his erect penis free. His hands quickly stopped her.
"We're doing this my way this time" he breathed before smiling down at her "nice and slow".
Usually when they connected it was quick, desperate, dirty, fast. He wanted to show her what he could do with unlimited time.
His mouth kissed her once more, using his tongue to gently deepen the kiss until he knew she would moan. Slowly he kissed down her chin, down her neck and onto her stomach where he peppered light kisses mixed with tongue until his mouth made it to the fabric of her bikini bottoms.
He used his mouth to remove them from around her waist and he used his hands to gently slide them the rest of the way down, contacting her long legs along the way. She shivered at the contact.
He moved his hands back up her legs slowly before moving his hands to pull her legs apart. His head situated between her legs and used his tongue to enter her and smiled into the way she moaned loudly and arched her back.
He sucked her slowly, making sure that she was enjoying every moment. The sounds coming out her ensured him that she did. He was happy they were alone out here.
"Derek, I'm-"she started to tell him that she was close but he stopped her with a smile letting her know that he knew.
She reached for his trunks again and this time he let her pull them down. She was met with his large erect penis. He moved back on top of her, guiding his penis into her center. She moaned at the contact as did he.
"God, you feel-"
"So good" she murmured referring to how he felt inside of her. Gently, he pushed up and into her again and again.
They stayed locked in eye contact as Derek slowly moved in and out of her. Each move felt like an eternity and all she wanted was to feel Derek inside of her. As she was nearing her climax, his hands roamed to her free breasts that seemed to sit right at his face. He didn't dare move his eyes off hers as he wanted them to experience their climax together. After a few moments, his eyes seemed to tell her that he was ready, and as he softly pounded into her a final time, she felt his load, and both released at the same time. It was one of the best orgasm's Meredith had ever experienced and that along with the eye contact made her feel an emotion she wasn't quite sure of.
His hands immediately moved to wrap around her body, and he held her close to him. When he looked down, he saw tears in her eyes.
"Mer, did I hurt you?" he asked worry filling his features as his hands moved to wipe her tears.
"No, I just…. I've never experienced sex like that." She admitted quietly as she wiped the remaining tears away.
He was overcome for a moment looking down at this beautiful girl that somehow still surprised him. He felt things, he didn't want to feel. Things he had never felt before.
"Did you like it?" he asked softly. His own vulnerability surprised him. He didn't realize the breath he was holding waiting for her answer.
"I did. It was different and I felt, I felt safe I guess." She replied turning her head away from him in embarrassment.
"You are safe Mer. You know that right?" he asked pulling her face to him and looking deeply into her eyes.
"I do" she told him meeting his gaze. He wrapped his arms back tighter around her and they stayed like that for a long time. Meredith fell asleep in his arms, and he took the time to study her in her sleep. She snored which he found endearing although a bit loud. It felt good holding her, smelling the floral scent of her hair and picturing what it would be like if he was back at his apartment in downtown Boston falling asleep next to her at night. He quickly shook those thoughts as she awoke and let him know she wanted to get back into the water.
Later that evening, Derek packed up all their lake day items and loaded them into his old truck. He smiled as he watched Meredith climb into the passenger seat, her hair still damp from the water and her body with a tanned glow from a day outside. She pulled on a short white swing dress on top of her bathing suit to cover up.
"I'm not ready for this day to be over." She told him with a soft smile.
He ran his hands through his hair and smiled at her "What made you think the day was over?"
She rolled her eyes "You are frustrating." She told him with a lightness in her voice.
He laughed "Have you met yourself?" he asked
She lightly punched him in the arm "On that note, I am ready for this day to be over. So over."
"Too bad I'm the one who's driving" he told her and turned the radio up as he drove them to their next destination.
Meredith stole quick glances from the side of her eye. She watched the way his forearm flexed while driving and the way he hummed along to the song on the radio and how amazing his hair looked wild and untamed. He was beautiful.
He caught her glancing over a few times and gave her a smile in return in which she would blush and pretend she wasn't looking.
Finally, after a bit, Derek pulled over to a small seaside Italian restaurant and smiled over at Meredith.
"We're here" he said excitedly before exiting the truck and moving over to open the door for her.
"Where are we?" she asked looking around at the coastal scene in front of her.
"Rockport"
"Rockport" Meredith repeated taking it all in. It was a beautiful town surrounded by water and tons of local shops painted in vivid colors. Locals walked around freely all holding delighted looks and bags that housed fresh goods.
Derek ushered Meredith into the restaurant, and they spent the evening laughing and joking around and enjoying each other's company. They split a bottle of wine which made Meredith extra giggly, and Derek loved watching her face light up.
When they left the restaurant, they walked hand in hand around the peer both feeling lighter from the wine and good time they both experienced.
"I think this might be one of the best days I've ever had." Meredith told Derek
"Me too Mer" Derek breathed moving his hands to touch her face, admiring her in the moonlight.
Meredith leaned up and kissed his mouth and he eagerly returned the kiss.
Onlookers smiled at the young couple.
"Can't we just stay here?" Meredith asked him seriously and he watched her eyes intensely. She wasn't talking about the town they were in; she was referring to something much deeper.
"I want to Mer. I want to just stay here with you" he admitted softly. He pulled her in for a long hug and she rested her head softly on his shoulder.
"Let's just stay here" she murmured, and he kissed her forehead.
"Okay" he whispered holding her tightly both looking out at the water, wrapped in each other's embrace without a single thought in the world except how good it felt being with the other.
