scared of love

chapter 16

After work:

Addie and I got done at different times today. I got out before she did which meant I was sitting in the lobby waiting for her.

While I was waiting I saw Derek walking to the front doors to leave. I prayed that he wouldn't see me but he turned and saw me sitting there.

He stopped in his tracks, turned towards me and started waking. Why does he even want to talk to me? I haven't been on his service in quite a while, I think ever since what happened with Addie.

He didn't want me on his service and I never wanted to see him so it worked out for both of us. Next week I was on his service no matter what because I still needed to learn but why was he here now?

"Meredith, Meredith?" he said snapping his fingers in front of my face pulling me from my thoughts. "Oh what do you need Derek?" I asked looking around for Addie since she was supposed to meet me in just a couple minutes.

He sat down in the chair next to me and rested his hand on my thigh. I moved away from him but he kept his hand there. "I was just wondering whether you've come to your senses and are ready to try this again" he asked, squeezing my thigh a little.

"No I have not, I already told you it's over now please get your hand off me" I said trying to move again but he still didn't let go. At this point I was praying Addie would hurry up and save me from what was happening right now.

"Well maybe if I just showed you what you were missing you would come running back" he said grabbing onto me even tighter "Derek I said no, please just let me go" he leaned in to try and kiss me but I pulled back.

And that's when I saw her. But before I could do anything he pushed my head to his lips making it look like we were kissing. I fought to get his hands off of me but I couldn't, what will Addie think is going on.

Addison's pov:

I just got out of surgery but I was supposed to meet Meredith in a minute. I would be a couple minutes late but it would be okay. We wait for each other all the time. So I went to the attending's lounge and changed out of my scrubs.

I put back on the outfit that Mer had picked out for me this morning, grabbed my bag of things to take to her house and I was on my way.

I walked to the front lobby which is where I was meeting her. I looked around for her and I saw her, but she wasn't alone.

She was sitting there with Derek's hand on her thigh. All I wanted to do right now was run in the other direction but I noticed the look on her face. She looked scared and kept looking around, hopefully for me.

She finally looked in my direction and we locked eyes and I saw her whole body and face relax. I started walking towards her but as I did Derek reached his hand around the back of the head and pushed her head to his.

They were kissing but Meredith was fighting it. She was trying to push away but he wouldn't let her. When he let her go I was close enough to hear "Now will you come running back?" he said looking up at her.

This is when I felt the need to say something "No shes not going to come running back just because you forced her to kiss you, you ready to go princess" I said as she started to get up "Hold on for one she wanted to kiss me and for two why the fuck are you calling her princess!?"

As he said this I saw Meredith wipe off her lips "Because of this" she said before she pulled me into a real kiss. When we pulled away the look on Derek's face was priceless. He couldn't say anything, he was speechless.

"Now I'm ready to go baby," Mer said, grabbing my hand. "I'm ready too" I said, turning us around to the doors leaving a stunned Derek standing in the lobby all alone.
