Meredith's pov:
Me and derek texted this morning and a couple of times during the day but he didnt come to the cafe today because he was busy with work. I'm in my apartment getting ready for bed when I hear a loud bang downstairs. "What the hell?" I mumble to myself. I run to my laptop and look at the security cameras. Someones broken in. They're walking to the stairs to my apartment. "Shit shit shit" I run over to the door, locking it. What do I do? Fuck. I grab my phone off of my bed. I go through my contacts. Derek. I call him. "Hey" he says. "Derek can you come to the cafe? Someones broken in I think they're trying to get into my apartment" I say. "Okay stay there I'll be there in a second okay?" He says. Theres a loud bang on my door. "Hurry" I say. He hangs up.

My breathing gets heavy and my entire body is shaking as theres another loud bang on the door. I scream as the door bursts open and a guy walks in. "Hello sweetheart" he walks over to me. He grabs me forcefully by the arm, pulling me to my bed and throwing me onto it. I realise what hes doing. "No no please don't" tears stream down my cheeks. He pulls off his belt. I look at him. I'm crying uncontrollably. "You- you're a customer.. you- you come to the cafe all the time" I say. "Yep" he grabs both of my arms, pulling me forcefully towards him. "Why?" I cry. He grabs my thighs instead, yanking me up so I'm laid down. "Ow" I sob.

Derek's pov:
I don't have time to call my driver. I run downstairs, getting in my porsche and speeding down the streets as fast as I can to the cafe. Theres fucking traffic. "Damn it!" I shout, hitting the steering wheel. The traffic finally clears and I drive to the cafe. I get out of the car. The door is broken. I run into the cafe, upstairs. I can hear yelling.

Meredith's pov:
"Get off of me!" I try to push him away. He starts unbuttoning his trousers. I start crying more. He gets dragged off of me. I get up and Derek's there. I move backwards to the headboard, curling up, crying into my arms.

Derek's pov:
I pull the guy off of her, hitting him as hard as I can in the face. "What the fuck do you think you're doing?" I pick him up my his shirt, slamming him into the wall. Blood spills out of his mouth as I broke a few of his teeth. "We were just messing around" he chuckles. My blood is boiling. I pick him off of the wall, throwing him onto the floor. He hits his head on the floor, knocking him out. I pick up my phone, ringing one of my guys. "Theres a guy at cafe seattle I need you to come and pick up immediately.. hes in the apartment above" I say. "Right away boss" the guy says. I hang up the phone. I look at the other side of the room and meredith is curled up on her bed, crying her eyes out. My heart breaks for her.

"Mer" I walk over to her. Shes crying uncontrollably. I sit next to her on the bed. She wraps her arms around my neck, sobbing into my shoulder. I wrap my arms around her, pulling her onto my lap. "Its okay.. you're okay he wont hurt you" I hug her tighter, trying to calm her down. Her cries eventually quiet down and someone walks into the apartment. It's two of my guys. "Take him" I say. "Does she need anything?" One of the guys asks. "I've got her" I say. "What do you want me to do with him boss?" One of them ask. I dont think meredith is listening. Shes still crying into my shoulder. "Kill him" I say. The guys carry him out.

Meredith finally calms down. She pulls her face out of my shoulder slowly. I wipe her tears with my thumbs. She sniffles. "Are you okay? Did he hurt you?" I say softly. "I'm okay he just.." she shows me her arm. It has scratches on it. "Thanks for coming so quick I didnt know who else to call" she whispers. "Call me.. always call me, okay?" I say. "Okay" she hugs me again, cuddling into me. I wrap my arms around her protectively. "You wanna stay with me tonight?" I whisper. She nods, pulling a away from me slowly. "You okay?" I whisper. I wipe her tears with my thumbs. "I'm okay" she whispers. "I'll get someone to get you a new door for the cafe and your apartment, okay? Stronger locks" I say. "Thankyou" she says. "You wanna go?" I tuck a piece of her hair behind her ear. "Yeah" she says. She gets up off of my lap. I stand up. "Do you have work tomorrow?" I ask. She shakes her head no. "Why dont you take some clothes with you for tomorrow? We can hang out" I say. "Okay" she smiles. She gets her stuff and we go to my apartment.

We walk into my apartment. "You wanna share my bed or-" I say. "I'll share your bed" she smiles. I grin. I'm holding her bag for her. I put it on the couch, walking back over to her. "Do you need anything? A drink? Extra blankets? Pillows?" I ask. "I'm good, thankyou" she smiles. She walks over to my bed, sitting down.

Meredith's pov:
He walks over to his drawers, unbuttoning his shirt. He takes out some pyjamas, putting them on the bed infront of me. I stare at him unconsciously as he unbuttons his shirt. "Holy-" I accidentally say aloud as he removes his shirt. He is so- god. He has like, an 20 pack or something. Okay, that's a bit dramatic.. but still. He looks at me, smirking. I look away, blushing hard. "Enjoying the view?" He says. "I wasnt even looking" I roll my eyes jokingly. He laughs. He gets changed into his pyjamas before we both get under the covers.

"Der?" I say. We're both laid down, facing eachother. "Mm?" He gently strokes my cheek with his thumb, looking at me. I smile. "What did you do to the guy?" I ask. He moves his hand away from my face. "I took care of it" he says. "What do you mean took care of it?" I ask. "You dont have to worry.. okay?" He says. I want to know what happened to the guy but somethings telling me not to push him on it so I just leave it. "Okay" I say. "Are you sure you're okay? He really didnt hurt you?" He brushes my hair out of my face with his hand. "I'm okay.. it just scared me.. I really thought he was gonna.." I whisper. "I'm sorry I didnt get there sooner there was fucking traffic" he says. "I'm glad you got there quick enough" I say. I kiss him softly on the lips. I wrap my arms around his waist, snuggling into his chest. He wraps his arms around me, cuddling me as I fall asleep in his embrace.
