Part 4

"I need your help Cris!" came a loud breathless voice from the hallway. They both turned to look at the direction it came, knowing perfectly well who it was.

The sound of her voice tightened his heart, his nerves, anxiety and fear were back now that she was right there. But all he could see was her shadow as she passed Cristina's office and continued to hers.

He stood up quickly and walked out of Cristina's office without a word and continued down the hall to the last office of the corridor. Stopping right besides the crystal door of her office Derek arranged his clothes before taking a deep breath and stepped inside her spacious office.

The same feeling he had the night before his wedding when he discovered her with the wedding gown, was the feeling that overcame his body when his eyes found her small form. He was left completely speechless, she looked just as beautiful if not more.

One of the things that kept him up the rest of that night he will never forget was the fact that he had never really looked at Meredith, he was so busy with work and finding a new girl to keep him warm for the night he never really looked at Meredith other than with the eyes of a friend. But suddenly, with the fear of losing her forever his eyes opened and when they did he found her completely perfect, beautiful, sexy as hell, beyond funny, smart, caring,... She was everything he ever wanted in a woman, but by the time he realized this it was too late.

He found her different, and it was more than her appearance. He was used to seeing her at the hospital with always black pants, black jacket and a shirt. Now she was wearing a black dress, it was elegant and serious, yet it was also sexy. The black piece of fabric fit her like a glove, showing the perfect curves of her breasts, her slim waist and hips, it ended a few inches above her knee. She was stunning.

Her hair was different too. She'd always wear her hair up in a bun for work and very rarely, when they were out she would let it loose around her shoulders. Today it was just as he liked it the most, in romantic curls and loose around her shoulders.

But what was the more different for him was her demeanor. The tone on her voice was also different, she sounded happy, slightly tired but the timber on her voice was high and she was smiling as she fidgeted with the manila folders on her desk. Her eyes were shining, tinkling even.

His eyes fell upon her lips, covered for a layer of red lipstick, just the memory of their taste was making him warm inside. Noticing her lips were moving Derek decided to focus on what she was saying

".. if he has the data I asked for yesterday"

"He better"

Cristina's voice surprised him and confused him at the same time. Turning to look where the voice came from he found Cristina leaning against a set of shelves with her arms crossed. She pushed herself off the wooden furniture and turned towards the door he'd just used. He wasn't surprised when she sent him yet another death glare.

"How the hell did you get here?" Derek asked with confusion. Cristina was on her office when he left and when he entered Meredith's office she was also there, did she have a twin sister that had the same crappy mood?

"The door?" Cristina asked rhetorically

The door was one of these things you can't see until you know it is there, it was a crystal door that communicated Meredith's office to Cristina's. There was another one in Cristina's office that communicated her office with their other partner's, Robin.

The moment he spoke Meredith's head shot up. She was beyond surprised of seeing him there, standing so close to her and looking as handsome as ever, with a pair of stonewashed jeans, a light blue shirt and a brown leather jacket that made him look more attractive, more sexy than ever. She shook her head to throw the thoughts out of her head, she didn't need them there, not anymore, and especially not at the moment, when she was so busy with work.
