merder mafia leader in love

chapter 2

Meredith's pov:
I wake up with a huge hangover. I hit the button on my alarm, turning it off. I groan, getting out of bed. I get ready, putting on my uniform and going downstairs. I open the cafe before going behind the counter and washing up my coffee mug from yesterday. Someone walks into the cafe. I turn around. "Hi" I smile. Its derek. He walks over to the counter. "Hi queen meredith" he jokes. I giggle. Yeah.. I was really really drunk yesterday. "Shut up" I chuckle. "You have a good time yesterday?" He asks. "Yeah I did.. thankyou for walking me home.. and carrying me upstairs" I giggle. He smiles. "Can I have a coffee please?.. to go" he asks. "Sure" I say. "A large" he says. I pick up a large to go cup and pour him a coffee. I turn around to the other counter. He can't see me. I take my sharpie out of my pocket and write my number on the cup. I put a sleeve over it and turn back around, passing it to him. He takes it. "Thankyou" he says. "You're welcome" I smile. A group of people walk into the cafe. "Bye queen meredith" he smirks. "Bye derek" I giggle. He chuckles, walking away. I go back to taking peoples orders.

Derek's pov:
When I walk out of the cafe, I take a sip of the coffee. I see some writing on the cup. I pull down the coffee cup sleeve to see the rest of it. It has her number written on it. I grin, getting in my car. My chauffeur drives me to work.

Meredith's pov:
Derek hasn't texted or called me yet. He might not have seen the number? I don't know. Its 8pm and I'm closing up again, cleaning the tables. My playlist is playing in the background. The door opens. I look at it. "Hey" I smile. I bite my lip, looking at him. Hes always wearing suits. He looks so hot. "Hi" derek smiles. "Do you just.. not understand closing times?" I giggle. "I've only just finished work.. I was gonna call you" he smirks. I chuckle. "But I wanted to see you instead" he says. I smile. "Are you just gonna keep showing up randomly at my work.." I say, walking over to him "after closing time" I grin "or are you gonna ask me out?" I say. He chuckles softly. "Meredith.. will you go out with me?" He asks. "Mmm.. I'll think about it" I tease. He chuckles. "You're a pain in the ass" he says. I giggle. "I have a day off tomorrow" I say.

"Tell me.." he tucks a piece of my hair behind my ear. I smile. "Are you more of a restaurant kinda girl or a..." he smiles. "A movie and snacks girl" I finish his sentence. "What's your favourite movie?" He asks. "I don't think you'll like it" I chuckle. "Well what is it?" He chuckles. "..the notebook" I say. He laughs. "Shut up" I giggle, hitting him playfully on the arm. "Seriously? A romance" He says. "Shut up it's a good movie" I chuckle. "What's your favourite horror movie?" He asks. "Scream" I say. "Mine too" he says. I smile. "Favourite fast food?" He asks. "Pizza" I say. "Favourite drink?" He asks. "I feel like we're playing 20 questions" I chuckle. He laughs. "Coca cola" I say. "Good to know" he says. I smile. His phone rings. "I have to go, my drivers getting impatient" he says. "Okay.. wait, you have a driver?" I say. He chuckles. "Ill text you tomorrow before I set off..Bye meredith" he kisses me on the cheek. "Bye" I smile.

the next day:
I'm getting ready in my apartment. I'm wearing a red v line top and a high waisted black denim skirt. I'm wearing natural makeup and my hair is curled. I put on my black heel boots and put some lipgloss. I grab my bag and phone before walking downstairs. I make two cups of takeaway coffee.

Someone walks through the door. "Hi" derek smiles. "Hi" I walk over to him. "You want a coffee?" I hold up the cup. "Thankyou" he takes it. He hands me a single red rose. I smile, blushing slightly as I take it. "Thankyou" I smile. I kiss him on the cheek.

"Are you ready?" He asks. "Yes" I say. "You look gorgeous" he says. "Thankyou" I smile. "Where are we going?" I ask. "To watch a movie.. we can either go to the cinema or to my place.. I have a projector and snacks?" He suggests. "We can go to your place" I smile. He holds out his hand. I smile, taking it. I lock the cafe door behind me as we walk out to his car. His driver opens the door for us and we get in. We drink our coffees as we start driving to his apartment.
