merder mafia leader in love

chapter 25

Meredith's pov:
get up in the morning and get changed. I bend down next to derek, still asleep. "Baby" I run my fingers through his hair. He groans, opening his eyes. "Good morning sleeping beauty" I tease. I squeal as he grabs my hands, pulling me ontop of him. I giggle as he bites my neck playfully. "Hey.. I'm your Prince charming" he smirks. I giggle. "Yes you are" I grin, kissing him softly. "Good morning beautiful" he snuggles his face into my neck. I smile.

"I've gotta go" I say. "Can I come with youuuu?" He whines, holding me close. "You'll see me later" I giggle. "Yeah.. with my parents" he rolls his eyes. "I guess you'll have to behave then, won't you.." I grin. "Shut up" he says. I giggle. "Honey.. I'm gonna be late" I try to wriggle out of his arms. "Fine" he groans, letting go. I giggle, getting up.

"Kiss before I go" I say. "No" he says. "Please" I grin. "If I don't kiss you then you'll never leave" he grins. "Derek" I giggle. "Fine" he gets up. He stands infront of me. "I love you.. and don't be nervous about meeting my parents.. they'll love you.. trust me.. how can anyone not?" He smiles, putting his hands on my cheeks. I smile brightly. He kisses me softly. "I love you" I peck him on the lips before leaving.

"I'm scared" I say to cristina. I called her to the cafe to talk to her. "Who cares.. they'll probably be nice" she says. We're both sat at the chairs at the counter. The cafe is still open so I'm between orders.

Derek walks into the cafe. He walks over to me. "Hi.. you look hot" he smirks, looking me up and down. He kisses me softly. I giggle. I'm wearing a black, noodle strapped, knee length dress. "Well.. I'm meeting your parents.. I shouldn't look like a.. waitress" I say. "Your uniform is sexy too" he smirks. I chuckle.

"Holy crap" cristina says. I look at the door. A man, around the same height as Derek, with jet black hair and blue eyes walks in. He looks exactly like derek, but older. A kinda shorter, brunette woman with brown eyes walks in next to him. "Grandaddy shepherd" cristina says I giggle as Derek glares at her. "Grandaddy?" I laugh. She raises her brow. "Oh.. daddy.. grandaddy" I point at derek. She nods. I laugh. Derek rolls his eyes.

They walk over to us, standing infront of us. I stand up. "Mom, dad.. this is meredith" Derek smiles. "Hi" I smile. "Hi" they both smile. "Hi.. I'm cristina" cristina shakes mr shepherd's hand. I giggle. "She's my friend" I say. "Oh.. hi" Mr shepherd says. I chuckle softly.

"Cristina" I say. "Mm?" She says. "You can let go of his hand now" I giggle. She let's go. "I'll see you later" I chuckle, walking her away. She leaves. "So.. I see where derek gets his looks from" I smile at them both. They both grin. Derek chuckles.

We're all say at a table, talking. It's going really well I think. They're both really nice. "Does anyone work here?" I hear. I look behind me. There's a customer at the counter. "Oh.. excuse me a second" I smile, standing up. I walk over to the counter. I serve the customer before walking back over to the table. "Sorry" I sit down. "Don't apologise sweetie" Derek's mom smiles. I smile.

"Meredith.. if you don't mind me asking.. why do you work in a cafe?" Mr shepherd asks. "Um.. when I first moved I had a friend who owned a cafe so she let me rent the apartment upstairs and work as a waitress.. I was planning on moving out but.. I kinda like my job now" I smile. "I'm surprised.. when Derek's ex and him first started dating, the minute she found out he had money, she quit her job" Mrs shepherd says. "Meredith isn't like that" Derek says.

"I'm quite comfortable financially now anyway.. I mean, not rich or anything" I giggle "but I've been saving for a few years" I say. "Sorry honey we're not trying to-" Mrs shepherd says. "No.. I know.. of course you're gonna worry about your son.. ask me anything you want" I smile. They look at eachother and smile.

"Derek's meeting my parents on Sunday" I say. "Derek is no good with parents" Carol laughs. "My mother is no good with anyone.. they might get along" I giggle. She laughs. "Hey I'm excellent with parents.. you two like me" Derek says. They don't say anything. He gasps. We all laugh. "I like you" I grin, reaching my hand up and running my fingers through his hair.

"What did you do to your hair?" I giggle. "It has product in it" he says. "Why?" I ask "you never wear product in your hair" I say. "When I'm around you" he says. "Why?" I say. "Because.." he chuckles softly, slowly taking my hand away from his hair and entwining our fingers "You like running your fingers through my hair" he says. I grin.

I look at the table. "Oh my god.. I'm sorry I didn't even ask.. do you want anything to eat or drink?" I ask. Derek chuckles softly. I hit him lightly. "Um.. sure can I have a coffee please?" Carol says. "Of course.. mr shepherd?" I ask. "Christopher.. and can I have a caramel latte please" he smiles. "Huh" I smile. "What?" Derek says. "You two are just really similar.. that's Derek's order" I giggle.

"They're basically twins" Carol chuckles. "I'm not that old" Derek says. Christopher gasps. "Ow" Derek winces as his dad squeezes his hand hard. "Take it back" Christopher laughs. "No" Derek says through gritted teeth. Derek grabs his arm, twisting it around. "If you knock anything off that table you will be sorry" I hit Derek's arm. He let's go. Carol laughs.

"Well that was clever.. now you're bleeding" I say sarcastically, lifting up his hand. "It was his fault" Derek says. "Does it hurt?" I say. "Yes.. kiss it better" he pouts jokingly. I giggle, kissing his hand. Carol and Christopher chuckle.

I walk to the counter. I bring back Carol and Christopher's coffees aswell as Derek's usual order and a coffee for myself. "Thankyou" they all say. "Here" I take Derek's hand. I grin, putting a plaster on it. "Thats a hello kitty plaster" he says. "It suits you" I tease.

"Want one?" I ask Christopher, chuckling. He nods. I giggle, handing him one. He puts it on. "Oh.. suits you much better" I say. "How dare you" Derek gasps. I grin teasingly.

He takes a plaster. I giggle as he puts it on my forehead. "Suits you the best" he grins. "Thankyou" I grin. He chuckles softly, running his fingers through my hair before kissing me softly. I giggle.

We spend the rest of the day talking, drinking our coffees and I take a few more orders in the cafe until its finally closing time. I close the cafe.

"It was lovely meeting you meredith" Carol hugs me. "You too" I smile. We pull away. "If you need anything please call me.. you're a big part of Derek's life and I really want you to feel like you're welcome in the family" she says. I smile brightly. "Thankyou" I say.

"Bye meredith.. we'll have to have you two round some time for dinner" mr shepherd says. I smile, nodding. Derek's going too. He's spending the night at his apartment tonight so he's dropping his parents off first. His parents walk out.

Carol's pov:
"What do you think?" I say. "I think he'll be good for her.. she seems nice.. background check was good.. I like her" he says. "I agree" I say. I look at him. I smile. "He loves her" I say. "You think she's the one?" He says. "I hope so" I say.

We look into the cafe, through the window. We smile as we see Derek's hands on merediths waist, her stood on her tiptoes with her arms wrapped around his neck as they kiss. They pull away slowly, smiling. They say something to eachother before Derek walks out.

We're in dereks car. His driver is driving us. "So.." Derek says. "We love her" I say. He smiles brightly. "Really?" He says. We nod. He has a massive grin on his face. "So.. when are you taking the next step?" Christopher asks. "I've been looking at rings.." he says. We talk for the rest of the drive about meredith and him.
