merder mafia leader in love

chapter 40

Meredith's pov:
I haven't seen derek in a few days. I've texted him but he's not answering. I'm sure he's okay but I just wish he's call or at least text me back.

I'm at the cafe. It's not too busy today as I'm just stood waiting for people to order behind the counter. I pull out my phone and derek still hasn't texted back. He hasn't even read the messages. I decide to text him again.

Me: baby are you okay? I'm worried

I leave it for about 2 hours and he still hadn't answered. I'm say on the counter waiting for the coffee to be done. He still hasn't texted me back. I decide to call Mark.

"Hey meredith?" He says. "Hey Mark.. I um- I haven't heard from derek in a few days and he isn't answering any of my texts.. do you know if he's okay?" I ask.

"What? He texted me telling me he's taking a few days off to be with you" he says. "What?" I say. "Hes not there?" He asks. "No" I say. "Okay.. I'm sure everything's fine" he says.

"Oh yeah.. he's just probably.. dead or something" I say sarcastically. "I'm sure he's fine" he says. "Yeah.. he probably is" I sigh.

"Okay.. I uh- I have to go.. but don't worry.. he's fine" he says. "Okay.. thanks.. bye mark" I say. I hang up. "Oh" I look at my phone as it buzzes. It's Derek. I look at it.

Der♡: hi
Me: hi? Are you okay?
Der♡: I'm fine.. come over.. I wanna see you
Me: okay.. I'll be there in 10

What the hell? He's not answered my messages all day and he's just.. fine. I'm annoyed but decide to go over anyway just to make sure he's okay.

"Cafes closed! Everyone out! Drinks are on me!" I say. Everyone gets up, leaving. I lock up, going to the door. I get in a cab and go to his apartment.

I get in the elevator and push the button to his apartment. I walk in. I gasp as I see him laid in bed under the covers shirtless.

"Hey" a tall blonde girl says as she puts on her shoes. She's sat on the edge of his bed. His clothes are all over the floor aswell as her bra and coat.

He opens his eyes slowly. He gasps, sitting up. "Meredith" he says. I press the elevator button, wanting to leave as soon as possible. He puts on his clothes quickly, walking over to me.

"Meredith" he says. I walk into the elevator. I look down, trying to hide the tears streaming down my cheeks. "Meredith it's not what it looks like" he says. "What is it then?" I say angrily. "I- I don't-" he stops.

"Let go of the door" I say as he holds the elevator open. "Baby" he says. "Let go of the fucking door!" I pull his hand away. He steps back from the doors as they close.

As soon as the doors close I start crying uncontrollably. The elevator doors open. I wipe my eyes, walking out. I walk outside. I try to calm myself down as I stand on the street, waiting for a cab.

"Miss grey? Are you okay?" Aaron says, getting out of his car. "Yeah.. yeah I'm okay" I wipe my cheeks.

"Are you looking for Mr shepherd?" He asks. "No I- I'm going home" I say. "You need a lift?" He asks. "Please" I say. "Of course.. I'm sure Mr shepherd would like to make sure you got home okay" he opens the back door. I get in.

"Actually can you drop me off at my friends house please?" I give him the address. He drives me there. I don't want to see derek and I know he'll come straight to my place.

"Thankyou Aaron.. um.. do you mind not mentioning to derek where I am.. I just- I don't want to see him right now" I say. He looks at me. "Unless he asks?" I say. He nods. "Thankyou" I say. I get out and go to cristinas front door.

I knock on the door. "Meredith? Hi.. cristinas not home.. are you okay?" Owen says. "Oh.. where is she?" I ask. "She's at work.. she'll be home in about half an hour.. do you want to come in?" He asks. I nod. He let's me in.

I'm sat on the couch. He gets me a drink. "Are you okay?" He asks. "Yeah I'm fine" I say. He raises his brow. "I um- I went to Derek's apartment and there was a girl there.. and he was naked" I say. "Oh" he says. "Yeah" I whisper.

"I um- I'm sorry for just showing up here but i don't want to see him and I know he'll go to my place" I say. "No it's okay.. Cristinas always showing up at your place" he chuckles. I smile.

Cristina arrives home. "Oh hey what's up?" She sits next to me. Owen leaves. I tell her what happened. "What an ass" she says. "I know" I whisper.

"Are you okay?" She asks. "Yeah" I say. She raises her brow. I shake my head, tearing up. My phone rings. I hang up. It rings again.

I pick it up. "What?" I say. "Mer Hear me out please" he says. "No" I say. "Baby I'm sorry please just let me explain" he says. "No" I say.

"Where are you? You're not at your apartment.. are you okay?" He asks. "I'm at cristinas.. don't come here.. I dont want to see you.. but I'm fine" I say. "Baby-" he says. "Stop calling me that" I say.

"Please come to my apartment" he says. "No derek I don't want to speak to you.. I'm going.. don't call again or I'll block your number" I hang up. I stay at cristinas house for the night.
