New beginnings

Chapter 51

The next day we were getting ready for the conference. There was a conference party afterwards so I put on a black dress and red lipstick, but not too red. I was in front of the mirror and Derek was behind me. He put his hands on both sides of my arm. He kissed my collarbone and we looked at each other in the mirror

"We're having sex tonight. I don't care if you're too tired or anything. We're still doing it" He whispered

"I can't wait to get this off of you" he whispered

"Well I guess I have to say yes" I said as I acted sarcastically in disappointment

"Okay let's go and this this over with" he smiled

He grabbed my hand and we walked out of the bathroom. I put my black heels on. We left the hotel room and started walking to the elevators.

"I want you to go to your conference. I know what you're going say but I'm not going to let you. Nick will be there so it'll be fine. I'll text you" I said

He kissed my lips and we walked into the elevator. We left the hotel and got into the same taxi. We arrived at the conference building and walked inside. He pecked my lips and we parted ways. I walked into my conference room. There were quite a few people here. I was a little nervous. I was last to go. There were 5 of us including me. So like 7 hours of conferences. It was 2pm.

5 hours later

Everyone was finally done and it was my turn. I grabbed my phone, turned my recording on, and put it into my pocket because Cristina wanted to hear my speech because she couldn't make it. I got up to the podium and turned the projector on to skip through the slide show that I had about my research.

2 hours later

It was 2 long hours so I don't want to bore you with it. When it was finally over I walk over to Nick

"Hey your Parkinson's research was incredible to listen to" he said

"How's Derek" he asked

"He's good. He's really good. He's next door in another conference" I say

He looks at me up and down and scoffs at me. I look at him confused

"You know what" he said

My back was against the wall. He was standing in front of me staring into my eyes. He put his hand onto my arm and I pulled away. He leaned in and I pulled away

"What the fuck are you doing" I said

"Your research was so bad that I fell asleep but I expect that from someone who fucks world class surgeons. Am I right Meredith. That's what your good at right" he laughed

He was still in front of me. I was stiff

"Get away from me" I say

"Might as well get in on the action" he said putting his hand onto my waist

He groaned as he looked at me. I was shaking.

"You don't scare me" I said

"You're pathetic. That's the only reason why you were called here. Some of us actually have careers to get back to" he smiled

I turned around and ran out of the room making sure that he didn't see me. My eyes were blurry with tears. I run down the hall and here a lot of talking. I wiped my tears and walked into the room and Derek was presenting rare brain tumors and ways to maneuver around them to assess the brain without damaging any parts. I was in the back and I didn't want to make him stop presenting. I was scared what he would do to Nick if I told him. I'm not going to tell him that he said it. He looked at me and his look changed to worry.
