A Love That Knows No Boundaries

15.

Two days later, Meredith and Derek are stood at the departure gate, waiting to board their flight to Paris, Derek was stood watching Meredith with a hint of amusement, has she was pacing up and down almost bouncing, she was so excited . Meredith had never felt freer, she looked down at her left hand, and her bare wedding finger, she felt like a huge weight had been lifted, Derek took her hand, has their flight was announced as they boarded, and was shown to their seats in first class. Meredith had never flown first class before but Derek was used to it. As they took off, Meredith rested her head on his chest, Derek had his arm around her, and Meredith was thinking about how wonderful the last two days had been, spending it with Derek.

Being with Derek made her realise how empty her life was with Mark, they went out to Central Park, out for lunch and dinner and even took in a show, Meredith couldn't remember the last time she had so much fun. Derek helped her to move what she stuff she had out of the house, luckily Susanna let her use her attic has storage place. Meredith fell asleep for the first few hours on the flight, she had never felt so comfortable has she had been the last two nights, sleeping in Derek's arms. She stirred in his arms, Derek gently kisses her head.

"Hello, sleepy head"

"Hmmm, how long was I out for?" Mer asked has she rubbed her eyes.

"About four hours, they will be bringing lunch out soon"

"Good, I am hungry" Mer stated

"I had never seen someone eat has much has you" Derek says with a smirk on his face, has Meredith hit him on the leg. Derek laughs, kissing her lightly on the lips.

"How are you doing, Meredith?" he asked, making sure that she was happy with the choice she made, knowing that once they left Paris there would be no going back for either of them.

"I have never felt better in my life, Derek" Mer said, squeezing his hand.

"Good"

"So, where are we going first, after Paris?" she asked him

"After two days we will fly to Geneva, and then spending a month in the Republic of Congo, helping out with the cholera epidemic, we will stay with one of the Red Cross camps, in the Bouenza region of the country"

"Okay" Mer says not looking up from her food

"Mer, did you get all your jabs?"

"Yes, i got them yesterday morning while you were at your meeting and my malaria tablets are in my hand luggage" Mer rolled her eyes, not used to anyone wanting to take care of her.

"I just don't want you getting ill" Derek said, caressing her cheek, has the hostess brings their food.

"I won't, i promise" she said tucking back into her food, Derek chuckled to himself, he wasn't feeling hungry, so he decided to look over his paperwork, making sure he had all the right paperwork for the fiftieth time since he left Seattle, knowing that it was too late anyway if he has forgotten anything, before pulling out a worn copy of The Sun Also Rises. He smiles as he looks over to Meredith, still eating before turning back to his book, and nodding off.

Derek woke to find they have were about to start their final descent into Paris, and he looked over at Meredith who was reading his book, he watched her for few moments, the way she bit her lip has she concentrated, he had seen her do it when she was nervous, and found it cute, he could feel his pants tighten has he watched her, has she runs her hand through her hair. Derek watches her a little longer until his eyes clashes with her's.

"You watching me"

"I am, I can't keep my eyes of you, I still can't believe you are here, I feel like this is a dream and I am going to wake up from it any moment, and you will be back in New York with him"

"Derek I promise you this isn't a dream, there is nowhere else I would rather be, than here with you" Meredith says taking his hand, and reaches over and kisses him on the lips, lightly before pulling away, has they land. They walk toward customs at Charles de Guille airport, out into the Paris sunshine, to the car that Derek hired for their duration of their stay in Paris. Derek pulled up outside the Ritz hotel, the same hotel where they first met, Meredith looked at him with questioning eyes, he had never told her where they were staying. Derek glanced over to Meredith.

"The Ritz Derek"

"Yep, I always stay here when I am in Paris and beside it where we first met"

"I remember" Mer says smiling and following Derek into the Ritz, he checked them in, he had booked two adjoining suites, knowing how fragile Mer was, even if she didn't show it. The bellboy showed them to Meredith room first before showing Derek to his.
------------------------------------------------------------

Once Derek was gone, Meredith couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, a part of had hoped that Derek had booked them in to one room, but she knew that Derek was too much of a gentlemen to assume that, she looked around her suite, which was absolutely beautiful, she thought the room she had when she was here for the conference was gorgeous but this was even more so, she walked toward the bedroom when she heard a knock on the doors adjoining her room to the next suite, she was confused to who it could be, until she opened the door to see Derek standing there.

"I forgot to tell you the rooms are adjoining" he said with a grin on his face.

"You ass" Meredith said to him, walking away from him. Derek follows her in, watching her as she walks away from him, he can't help but look at her ass, in her tight jeans, and he runs his fingers though his hair, he can feel himself getting aroused, remembering how her body felt against his, he never noticed Meredith watching him, has he struggled to control himself.

"Derek"

"yeah"

"You alright?" Mer asked, Derek opened his eyes to find himself looking into her dark green eyes, the same eyes that he noticed the other night.

"I am fine, Mer" he said looking down at her lips, wanting to taste her again, the memory of holding her, and how she felt pressed up again him. He walked away from her, knowing that if he stayed her any longer, he wouldn't be able to control himself.

"I have booked us a table at cafe de l'Homme, since we didn't get to have dinner last time, i thought we could go tonight, if you want to?"

"Of course I want to Derek"

"I'll meet you in the bar, about 8" Derek said, not looking at her, until he felt her right behind him, grabbing his hand, and stands in front of him.

"Why can't you look at me?" Meredith says gently running the tips of her fingers over his ever growing erection.

"Mer..." he groaned, has Meredith kissed him lightly on the lips, has soon has their lips make contact; Derek pushes her up against the wall, deepening the kiss. Meredith hand slips underneath his shirt, over his chest, has he cupped her breasts.

"Derek" Mer moans into his mouth, bring Derek to his senses, he pulls away from her, still pining her to the wall.

"Mer..." Derek says looking down at her swollen lips that give him so much pleasure.

"Derek...don't" Mer pleads with him.

"I don't want to take advantage, Mer"

"How is it taking advantage when I want this just has much as you do"

"Mer..."

"Derek, I love you, just has much as you love me, I don't why you do, but I want you"

"I love you because you are beautiful and strong" Mer shakes her head. "Meredith you are so incredibly strong, and you can't even see it, you have survive the unimaginable, and it that strength is what made me fall in love with you" Derek kisses her, with all the love that he feels for her. "I don't want to do this like this Mer, I want to show you how special you are, so tonight we will go out for dinner and see where we go from there, okay?" Derek says smiling at her, Meredith nods her head. They kissed one more time before Derek leaves her suite and walks into his own.
