merder mafia leader in love

chapter 36

Meredith's pov:
Derek has this work party thing tonight. He asked me to go with him. "Are you sure you're okay coming with me?" He asks.

"Do you not want me to?" I ask. "No I do.. but you don't have to if you're busy or-" he says. "I can go" I say. He smiles. "Okay" he kisses me softly.

"Go get ready" he slaps me lightly on the ass. I chuckle. We're at my apartment. He's already ready but I'm not. I already have my hair and makeup done though. My hair is curled and I just have on light makeup. "Okay" I go to my closet.

"What shall I wear?" I ask. "Open the closet" he says. I open it. My eyes light up. "You got me a dress" I smile. "You like it?" He asks. "I love it" I take it out. Its a red v line dress.

"Thankyou" I walk over to him, kissing him on the cheek. He smiles. I walk over to my bed, laying it down on there. I get changed into it, grab my stuff and walk over to derek.

He's on his phone. "Hey" I grin, putting my hand on his chin, lifting it up. He looks at me. He smiles. "You look gorgeous love" he kisses me softly. "Thankyou" I grin.

He holds my hand and we go downstairs to the car. Aaron drives us there and we get out of the car. He holds my hand and we walk inside, stopping to say hello to a few people.

"Meredith.. hi" callie walks over to us. "Oh hey" I smile. Me and callie became friends at the last event I went to with derek.

"Why don't you two ladies catch up.. I'm just going to talk to a few people" Derek says. I nod. He kisses me on the cheek.

"Callie you know-" he says. "Watch out around few.. certain people" she signals towards a group of men. He nods. He walks away.

I guess callie knows more about the people here seeing as she's been to more events than me. Derek told me some of the people here can be dangerous. Me and callie walk to our table.

Derek's pov:
I finish talking to a few of the guys and walk over to the bar. I order me and meredith some drinks. I'm about to walk over to the table when I overhear someone talking.

"Mm.. my husband said he's going soft" one of the girls giggle. "It's that new gal.. what's her name?" The other one says. "Um.. meredith" she says. "Hes too head over heels in love" she giggles.

I feel my blood boil. I walk over to our table. "Hey baby" meredith says. "Hi" I sit down. She looks at me. "Are you okay?" She furrows her brows. "Fine" I say.

Meredith's pov:
We're sat at our table eating our meals. I can tell Derek's in a mood but I don't know what about. He's being okay to everyone else, he's just not talking to me.

"Der can I talk to you for a second?" I ask. "Can It wait?" He says. "No" I say. He sighs, standing up. I hold his hand, pulling him to the corner of the room.

He looks at me. "What baby?" He says. "Are you mad at me?" I ask. "What? No" he says. "Why are you ignoring me?" I ask. "I'm just talking to my friends.. I didn't think you need my attention all the time" he says.

"I don't.. I just don't need you to be so snarky when I do talk to you.. I thought you wanted me here?" I say. "I do" he says. "Whatever" I sigh. We walk back to the table and sit down.

"You okay?" Callie asks. Derek's talking to the guys. "Yeah.. do you think he's being weird.. to me?" I ask. "Mm.. are you fighting?" She asks. "I.. don't know" I furrow my brows. "Oh.." she says.

"Boss.. Arnold's got reggie in a chokehold in the hallway" someone runs over to him. He groans, standing up. Everyone follows him. I look at callie. We stand up, following. We stay close to derek.

There's a massive crowd of people watching. Derek looks at me. He holds my hand, pulling me through the crowd carefully. There'd two guys. Both in suits. One of them has the other one pushed against the wall.

"Arnold" Derek says. "He was trying to steal one of the guns" he says. "Did he?" Derek asks. "No" he says. "Let him go" Derek says. He let's him go.

The guy looks at me. I know him I think. He's one of the guys that came into the cafe with derek when I first met him.

Derek reaches into his pocket. My eyes go wide when he pulls out a knife. "Der don't" I say. "He tried to steal from me" he says.

"He didn't try to hurt anyone.. he's your friend" I say. "You don't have friends in this business" he says. "Do it boss!" Someone shouts.

"Derek.. don't" I say. He ignores me, walking to the guy. He pushes him up against the wall. I shake my head. I push past everyone, leaving.

Derek's pov:
I deal with the guy. I didn't hurt him. Meredith got into my head so I just threatened him. one of my other guys takes him away and I look back.

Everyone goes back to their tables. I look around. "Where did meredith go?" I ask callie. "She left" she says. I groan.

"You could be nicer to her, you know.. she thinks your mad at her" she says. I look at her. "Why?" I ask. "You've been an ass to her all evening" she says. I sigh.

I walk down the hallway, going outside. I hear merediths voice. I follow it down another hallway. I watch her. She has a girl pushed up against the wall. My eyes go wide.

"If I hear you talking about him again so help me god I will kill you myself" she spits. She slams her against the wall again before the girl runs away. I walk over to her. She finally sees me.

"Oh.. I-" she says. I cut her off, running my fingers through her hair, bending down to kiss her deeply. She wraps her arms around my neck, moaning as I push her up against the wall gently.

I pull away slowly. "Were you defending me?" I ask. "Mm.. no one gets to talk bad about my boyfriend" she grins.

she runs her fingers through my hair. "I love you mer" I kiss her softly. "I love you too baby" she smiles.

"Did you hurt him?" She looks sad. "No.. you got in my head.. I just threatened him and told him not to do anything like that again" he says. She smiles.

"Were you mad at me? Did I do something?" She asks. "No.. I'm really sorry.. I just- someone just got into my head.. and- I shouldn't have let them" I say. "Oh did.. someone say something?" She asks. "Its okay" I smile. "Okay" she smiles.

We hold hands as we walk back into the room. "You can go talk to your friends if you want" she says. "I'll stay with you if you want baby" I say.

"Its okay.. callie and arizona are over there" she says. "You sure?" I ask. She nods. "Okay" I kiss her softly. I watch her as she walks over to them. I walk over to a group of guys.

I'm talking to a few guys when I see meredith in the corner of the room. My eyes go wide as she pushes a guy against the wall. "Excuse me" I say to the guys. They nod. I rush over to meredith.

"Mer.. mer" I pull her back as she's about to shove him again. "He just called me a slut and tried to get me thrown out" she says.

I look at him. "She shoved my wife against a wall" he says. "For talking shit about my boyfriend" she says. She still looks angry.

I let go of her. I chuckle softly. "I'm not gonna stop her.. but you touch her and we'll have problems" I say. His eyes go wide. She kicks him hard. He gasps. She slams him against the wall again.

He walks towards her as if he's about to hurt her. I raise my brow. He looks back down at her, stopping.

"You wanna call me that again?" She raises her brow. He looks at me and then back at her. He shakes his head. "Good.. you and your wife both need to learn some fucking manners" she says.

I hold her hand. We walk away. When we get to the hallway I look at her. "Since when do I have such a badass girlfriend" I grin. "Oh he would've beaten my ass if you weren't there" she giggles.

"I wouldn't let him touch you" I kiss her softly. "Thankyou for defending me" I smile. "Thankyou for having my back" she smiles.

"Mm.. I love you" I brush her hair out of her face, kissing her softly. "I love you" she kisses me again. "Wanna go?" I ask. She nods. We go to the car and Aaron drives us home.
