Flirting

Meredith was in a patient's room with her interns when Derek walked in. It had been two weeks since Meredith's encounter with Derek at her house, and she had managed to avoid Derek mainly since then, expect for a the odd case, where she had to work aside him, there was only so much she could avoid him with him being her boss, her teacher.

"Good Morning Dr Grey...what have you got for me?" Derek said walking into the room and standing on the opposite side of the bed away from Meredith and her interns. He kept his eyes on the chart in front of him, trying not to stare at her. He couldn't but notice how beautiful she looked in her scrubs and her tied back in a messy ponytail.

"Dr. Shepherd," Meredith greeted him, before turning to her interns. "Who's presenting?"

"Louise Carter, 44 year old female, admitted last night, after suffering seizures, given a CT, which showed a mass in her cerebrum," Amy offered up.

"Dr. Grey, what is the suspected diagnosis?"

"Oligodendrogliomas, the most common of symptoms is seizures, occasionally with headaches, weaknesses and sometimes changes in behaviour."

"How do I make the diagnosis?"

"With a CT or MRI, the tumour should present with some form of calcification, to confirm diagnosis is with exploratory surgery."

"Have you ever seen one of these?"

"No Dr. Shepherd"

"Well, Mrs. Carter, I and Dr. Grey will be performing the operation today. I have scheduled it for 1pm. Do you have any questions?" Derek asked the patient.

"No."

"Okay, i will see you in the OR."

Meredith was stood at the nurse's station filling out charts when she felt him stood behind her. Meredith closed her eyes before asking him.

"Dr. Shepherd, what can I do for you?"

"You know, you have interns for that," said Derek, standing behind her, his breath on her neck, for a moment is transported Meredith back to two years before.

"How about joining me for lunch?" he whispered in her ear, his breath sending tingling feeling down her neck.

"Dr. Shepherd, that is not appropriate, and I think your wife might have a problem with us having lunch together."

"Dr. Grey, it is just the head of neuro, wanting to get to know his new resident, that he had heard good things about over lunch...my wife will have no problem," Derek assured her.

"Sorry Dr. Shepherd, I have already arranged to meet Dr. Yang and Dr. Stevens, but thanks for the offer," Meredith told him.

"Well, maybe another time," Derek said before walking away, not noticing Cristina walking behind her.

"So what did McDreamy want?" Cristina asked her, fully aware that Derek was still in earshot.

"Dr. Shepherd invited me to lunch but I like i told him, I already had plans."

"What if you hadn't?"

"Cris, stop fishing. Derek is no longer a part of my life and Dr. Shepherd is my boss."

"If you say so, Mer"

"I do, tonight we're hitting Joes, for welcome home drinks, so what do you say"

"What about the munckin?" Cristina asked.

"That is already sorted, 9pm tonight Cris, i will see you there," Meredith said, her pager beeping loudly and she quickly left.

"Dr. Shepherd," Meredith said rushing into the room.

"She started seizing, I administered one mg diazepam, which stopped her seizure."

"Take her down for another MRI, and I will find Dr. Shepherd" Meredith told Amy, giving Mrs. Carter a quick neuro exam.

"Of course Dr. Grey," said Amy taking Mrs. Carter out of the room while Meredith quickly wrote in her notes before going to page Derek.

When Derek didn't answer his pages, which Meredith knew he never ignored a page, she went to find him, she found him in his office talking to Addison rather loudly as if they were arguing. She didn't want to disturb them but knew she need too, so she took a deep breath before knocking on the door.

"Come in.," Derek called, noticing Meredith standing in the doorway. "Dr. Grey," he addressed her.

"Sorry to interrupt Drs. Shepherd but our patient has just had another seizures. Dr. Shepherd administered one mg of diazepam and I've ordered another MRI."

"Addison we are finished here," Derek turned around to his wife.

"I guess...don't forget dinner reservations are at 8 o clock, Derek, and your mom is in town"

"Yes Addie, i am perfectly aware. I will meet you, Mark and Amy at the restaurant."

"Fine, I will see you there," Addison sighed walking out of the room, completely ignoring Meredith.

"I am sorry if i came at a bad time, Dr. Shepherd."

"Not at all, Meredith."

"Please it's Dr Grey, calling me by my first name is inappropriate."

"Sorry Dr. Grey. How is your daughter?"

"Ava is good thank you Dr. Shepherd...I should get back to my interns, make sure they aren't killing anyone."

"Of course, Dr. Grey, i will see in the scrub room later," Derek said turning away from her as she walked out of his office.
