Dusk&Summer

28.

"I'm bored," Meredith pouted as she cuddled closer into Derek's arms. He couldn't help but laugh as he pulled her against his chest, his hand moving carefully up and down her back. She had been bored for the past two hours. Sophie had some weird bug and had been stuck in bed all day, Brian running back and forth to get Advil, orange juice, and chicken noodle soup, so the plans for the two girls to go into town had been completely destroyed.

"It's good to know this now," Derek laughed softly, trying anything to cheer her up from her destroyed day. "You know...that my sister is better company than I am."

"I didn't...I didn't say that. It was just...shopping and lunch and...I didn't say that."

"You totally said that," he smirked.

"I did not. I said I'm bored."

"Which suggests that I'm crap ass company."

"No. It just...we...I'm bored."

"I know you are," he sighed, turning to kiss her quickly. "I'm sorry your plans got ruined."

"It's fine," she groaned, curling into his arms. "I just...she had to get sick today? Today? The one day...and you know she's milking it. She always milks it."

"That's what happens when you grow up being the youngest in a family of five."

"Still," she sighed. "I'm bored."

"Hmmm..." he sighed. "If it makes you feel better...I was supposed to go fishing."

"So you're bored too?"

"A little, yeah."

"We should do something."

"We should," he nodded, squeezing her tightly. "What?"

"I don't know," she murmured against his chest. "We've watched like...five movies, we hiked, we...we need to do something."

"We do," he murmured.

"Callie and Mark are swimming."

"Want to join?"

"We could," she giggled, rolling away from his chest and reaching to turn off the TV.

"I'm good with swimming," he smiled. "The less clothes you're wearing the better."

"Dirty," she rolled her eyes. "Completely dirty."

"So true though."

"Very," she giggled, leaning forward to kiss him deeply.

"Hmmm..." he groaned against her lips.

"Swimming," she breathed.

"Definitely," he nodded.

"I should...your room...suits," she murmured, kissing him again.

"Hmm..." he whispered, wrapping his arms around her. "We don't need them."

"Oh, we don't?"

"They are highly overrated."

"So you want Mark to see me naked?"

"I'm okay with Mark seeing you naked."

"Seriously?"

"Seriously," he nodded. "He can see that you are fucking gorgeous. And then have to live with the fact that you're all mine and that you would never touch him with a ten foot pole."

"That's...I don't even know what that is."

"It's a reason for you to get naked."

"Well I don't know how I feel about Callie seeing you naked."
