A Love That Knows No Boundaries

14.

Meredith arrives home later that night with lots of shopping, she hadn't had a shopping day in a long time, and at least she wouldn't have to hide any of this from Mark, she ordered a pizza before pulling a beer out of the fridge, and walked upstairs into the bedroom that she shared with Mark, she looked around the room, and for the first time, she realised, that this wasn't her home, has she walked through the house, looking around there was nothing in this house that belonged to her, there for no pictures of her except for with Mark.

She walked into her office, even this room, her own private room had nothing in that was her, she realised now much Mark took away everything even her past away from her. She walked over to the bookcase, and pushing it, until she saw her little private cupboard that held all her photos. Has she pulled them out, and opened the box, the door bell went, she got up, walked down the stairs grabbing her purse to pay the pizza man, has she opens the door.
"Hi, Meredith" Meredith stood there in shock at the sight of the person stood in her doorway.

"Well, aren't you going to let me in?"

"Of course" Meredith spluttered, letting him in, and closing the door behind him.

"When Mark due back?"

"He has gone away for the week" Meredith said, before Derek took her in his arms and kissed her hard, Meredith felt herself melt into his arms, before pulling away from each other breathlessly.

"What are you doing here, Derek?"

"Well, i left Seattle a couple of days earlier, than i planned to, because i have meeting with representative of MSF, so i thought i could come and see you"

"What if Mark answered the door?"

"Then, i would have said i had the wrong address. If you want me to go, i will" Derek says going to pick up his bag, Meredith feels a wave of panic overcome her.

"No, i don't want you too, i have a spare room, and you can stay there, if you want too"

"I would like that" Derek gives her a smile, has the doorbell goes, Meredith throws him a smile, and pays for the pizza.

"Well, i suppose i should show you to the spare room"

"Mer, you could have you dinner first"

"Suddenly i am not hungry" Meredith said holding out her hand, which he takes, grabbing his bag has she shows him to the guest room, she leaves him alone, and goes downstairs to answer the phone, he realised who it is from the cold tone in Meredith voice, it is colder than he had ever know, and it was a little surprised, when he got downstairs he found her standing in the living room, staring into space.

"Meredith" he says quietly, has he goes to take her hand; she flinches, and jumps away from him.

"Mer, i am not going to hurt you" Derek says reassuring her.

"I know that, Derek, I'm sorry" Mer says quietly, looking down at her feet, has she turns to face him, Derek takes a step closer to her, lifting her head, so she is looking directly at him, has they gaze into each other eyes, getting lost in them. Neither of them realising what was happening until their lips met, Meredith pulls

Derek closer to her, entangling her fingers in his hair, pulling him closer to her, until their bodies are touching, all the pent up passion quickly boiling to the surface, Derek picks Meredith up, who wraps her legs around his waist, has their tongues explores each other mouths, until they come up for air.

"Mer, i think we should stop" Derek says breathlessly.

"Derek, i want you"

"Mer, i love you, you know that, but i don't want to do anything that could get you hurt" Derek tells her, Meredith unwraps her legs from Derek's waist, trying to pull away from him, Derek knows to let her go.

"Derek, maybe you should stay at the hotel" Meredith says silently.

"Don't push me away Meredith" Derek pleaded with her.

"You don't want me" Meredith says so sadly that it breaks Derek's heart, he walks over to her, so he is standing right behind her.

"Meredith, of course i want you, i have never wanted someone as badly as i want you, but you are married to a bully, i am not going to risk him hurting you, if something happened to you when i was away because of me, i couldn't live with myself"

"He won't"

"You don't know that Mer" Derek says quietly, Meredith turns around to face him, smiling.

"I do, Derek, because i won't be here"

"What? Where will you be?"

"With you" Meredith tells him, Derek looks at her, with a look of confusion at first, until he realised what she meant.

"You coming with me"

"i am" Derek pulls Meredith into his arms, and kisses her.

"Are you sure about this?"

"Derek i have never been any surer in my life. I want to share this with you"

"And, i want to share it with you"

"I love you, Derek" Meredith tells him.
