Meredith Grey and Andy Herrera

Vacation

After a long day of traveling Maya and Carina decided to head up to their room to take a small nap before getting ready to go out for dinner. Leaving Andy and Meredith sitting at the bar together doing straight tequila shots. 

" Ya know the problem with men is you can't trust them" Andy very drunkenly slurred.

 "It's not just a man thing. Its a people thing. Some people just grow up with shitty past and childhood trauma and so when they finally get something worth having they self sabotage because they don't feel worthy of the love they are receiving. We're all fighting our own battles just differently. I'm not making an excuse for him I guess I'm just trying to say him cheating wasn't because of something you did. It's an internal emotional struggle." 

"Maybe I should just date women" Andy said "Maya and Carina make it look so blissful and easy even when the going gets tough they always talk and work through it. Maybe you and I should go to dinner sometime" Andy suggested to Meredith.

With a slight smirky smile, pink cheeks, and a face growing more and more warm Meredith agreed to a dinner date the following evening. They'd be leaving their friends to do their own thing but when did Maya and Carina ever get in a tizzy over spending more alone time with each other especially on a magical island dream vacation. 

Maya and Carina eventually joined the two at the bar and began deciding where to go for dinner. They agreed on a small hole in the wall seafood shack/bar on the beach they passed on the way in. Upon arriving they started with oysters and margaritas. They all got the same crab and lobster shrimp boil that was the evening special. Everything was fresh right off the boat that literally pulled up right on the shore and had men jump off and bring the goods ashore. 

After eating too much and a few Margaritas in " We should dance!" Maya suggested as she sat straight up with a huge grin on her face. " ahh Bambina Non se sia una buona idea, sono cosi pieno." Andy thought this would be a great time to start showing off her skills to Meredith so she convinced everyone that Maya had a great idea and they should all go dance because how often are you in such a beautiful place with your favorite people on a beach. 

After a few intricate dances they all started to get tired but Maya had one last song request. It had always been a silly fantasy of Mayas to line dance on a beach. she told the group " I want to dance to one more song before leaving" everyone tiredly groaned but agreed " What are you requesting Bambina?" Carina asked " OOHHH just you wait and see its about to be a good time" 

"You did not!!!" Andy yelled as the song started playing through the loud speakers. "I haven't danced to this since the night we graduated the academy" Andy excitedly told Maya. 

Meredith and Carina decided to sit this one out and watch the two women dance it out so to say. Carina sighed a long sigh causing Meredith to give her a very inquisitive stare. " I think I'm going to ask Maya to marry me tomorrow." "That's so exciting. why the long sigh though" "I'm scared she isn't ready like what if I get down on one knee and ask her to be my wife and she says no"

"Carina I'm only gonna say this one time so you better listen and you better listen good. That woman worships the ground you walk on. I've seen the way the two of you look at each other. Its like neither one of you could live without the other. Maya looks at you like you're her whole world. A love like that comes along once in a life time." Meredith said as her gazed slowly left Carina and went to watching Andy laughing and dancing with her best friend. 

Maya and Andy worked their way back over to the two women. Maya coming up behind Carina and ever so gently wrapped her arms around her waist and rested her head on her shoulder kissed her cheek and simply said " lets go back to the room now."

Meredith and Andy decided to go on a sunset walk on the beach while the two love birds went back to the hotel to "rest".

"So what were you and Carina talking about back there while Maya and I were dancing?" 

"What do you mean? we were just chatting."

"Meredith you can't fool me Carina had that look on her face." 

Meredith started laughing " And what look was that?" "The one she gets when she's thinking about Maya. I've never seen two people so genuinly infatuated with each other." 

"Well you will just have to ask Carina its not my secret to tell" Meredith said as she decided to take Andy's hand in hers and hold it while walking down the beach.Andy grinned ear to ear as she looked down and realized Meredith had just grabbed her hand and now they were holding hands walking down the beach watching the sunset so comfortable talking that it felt like this is what they had been looking for their whole life.
