A Love That Knows No Boundaries

31.

Over the next month, they had managed to fit into a routine; Meredith's plaster on her leg had been taken off and she was given a boot instead, making it so much easier to move around the apartment, and to get out and about. Meredith was in their bedroom, it was their first date since Meredith had been in Seattle and she was looking forward to it, not that they ever really went out on a date before. Meredith was putting on the last bit of makeup, when she heard Derek come home.

"Mer..."

"I'm in the bedroom"

"Hey" Derek says walking over to her giving her a kiss.

"You are looking very beautiful Mer"

"Thanks, but this thing on my leg don't help"

"Are you sure you want to this tonight? I don't mind waiting until your leg is totally heeled" Derek told her.

"I want to do this Derek; i need to do it"

"Okay, i love you"

"I love you too" Mer says has Derek gives her a quick kiss on the stop of her head before pulling his jumper off and walking into the bathroom. Meredith hears the shower go on, her mind wanders to all the sex they have had in shower across three continents, and Meredith would feel herself getting wet. They hadn't made love since the accident, has they had come to call it, Derek was terrified of hurting her, and the leg hadn't help, but Meredith couldn't help but wonder if it was her, that he did blame her for losing their baby, she shook her head knowing that she was being silly, but a part of her couldn't get over the idea that someone has wonderful has Derek was, wanted to be with her, she didn't think she was worth it.

"I hope we aren't putting ourselves down again" Derek said from behind her.

"What? Of course not"

"Why don't i believe you, Meredith?"

"I...don't..." Derek leans down and kisses her.

"Right Mer, our reservations are in an hour we need to get moving soon, so i am
going to get dressed, and i have a present was you tonight, so stop putting yourself down and remember how much i love you, because i do Meredith, and if i need to remind you of that every hour of every day then i will"

"Okay" Mer said with a smile, watching has Derek walked back into the bathroom. Ten minutes later Meredith was stood in the lounge waiting for Derek. He walked out of the bedroom, to see Mer standing there with her hair in soft waves and a long blue dress.

"Wow...you do look stunning Mer" Derek said leaning down and kissing her gently, Derek places his hand on the small of her back and guides her out of the apartment, and down to his car.

"So where are you taking me?"

"That is a surprise"

"Derek..."

"I know you don't like surprises but you will like this i promise" Derek says leaning over and kissing her. About 10 minutes later, they pull up to the ferryboats; Derek helps her out of the car, and onto the deck. "Have i ever told you i have a thing for ferryboats?" he whispered in her ears, has he stood behind her with his arms wrapped around her waist.

"I believe you have"

"It very intense this thing i have for ferryboats and for you" Derek reminded her, nibbling gently on her neck. Meredith turned and face him, kissing him gently and resting their heads together, they made their way down to the car, and ten minutes after leaving the ferry, they pull up to a small restaurant.

"Here we are Mer. I discovered this restaurant a few days ago, so i though it would be perfect for us to have something to eat before i have something to show you at little later" Derek wraps his arm around her and walks into the restaurant.
