Endless Summer Nights

8.

Meredith walks towards her group of friends who are sitting at a table on the deck. She knows that she is going to get the third degree from her friends about last night, but she doesn't care. Her eyes scan the other tables on the deck and she gasps when her green eyes meet his blue. She smiles at him as she continues to walk towards her group of friends.

Cristina: What the hell, Meredith?

Meredith jerks her head towards Cristina as she tears her eyes away from his. She notices that all of her friends are staring at her. Meredith plops down in the chair as she pulls down her sunglasses.

Meredith: What?

Cristina smirks.

Cristina: You so got laid last night.

Meredith shoots her a glance.

Meredith: How can you tell?

Cristina: You have the after sex glow.

Meredith just shrugs as she leans back in her chair.

Meredith: Jealous?

Cristina: Hell yeah.

Meredith giggles as Cristina arches her eyebrow.

Cristina: Was it any good? Cause he looks like he would be good.

Cristina glances over at Derek and notices that he is staring at Meredith.

Cristina: And he is undressing you with his eyes right now.

Meredith turns her head and her eyes meet his. He smiles his McDreamy smile at her as he tilts his head to the side. Meredith bites on her bottom lips as she stares into his deep blue eyes as she feels the heat of her core increase.

Cristina clears her throat next to Meredith, causing Meredith to break her gaze with Derek.

Cristina: So, what does he do?

Meredith shrugs.

Meredith: I don't know.

Cristina: You don't know?

Meredith: No. And while I have you guys all here, do not mention my last name or the fact that I'm going to medical school in the fall.

Cristina arches her eyebrow and opens her mouth to speak, but Izzie beats her to it.

Izzie: Why?

Meredith: Because, I think it is better if we don't know how to find each other after this cruise is over. There is no point in trying to have a long distance relationship and there is no point in pretending that it will even work.

Cristain: Nice. Just when I begin to think your boring, you rise.

Meredith glances back over at Derek and she notices that his eyes are still on her.

Meredith: Whatever. If you guys are just going to give me hell, I will leave.

Cristina: Something better to do? Or should I say someone better to do?

The table erupts into a fit of laughter and Meredith turns to glare at them all. She picks a strawberry up off of the plate and takes a slow, sensuous bite, knowing that he is watching her.

Meredith (standing up): You know what, I do. Especially if you guys are going to be a bunch of asses.

Meredith ignores the stunned looks on all of their faces as she turns around and walks away from their table. She looks at Derek and notices the confused look on his face. She smirks at him. She could have some fun. She could, but should she? Why the hell not?
