Chapter 6

Meredith had no idea what she was feeling it felt good her heart said yes her body said yes but her head said no. She can't be really liking Derek Shepherd where's the logic in that she has only known the man for a few hours and here she was thinking about him and staring at him as he walked around getting to know his guests.

"Stop staring at Mcdreamy" Cristina rolled her eyes walking up beside Meredith.

"Huh what?" Meredith asked a bit startled breaking her gaze from Derek to Cristina.

"God Mer what is your problem?" Cristina asked. This type of thing isnt what Meredith does. Meredith Grey avoids any male attention she gets other than her occasional sleeping with inappropriate men she picks up at the bar ever since Finn and they were over 2 years ago after being together for like 2 years.

"What do you mean 'what is my problem?'" Meredith asked her. She knew where she was coming from this wasn't 'Meredith Grey' ideal at all. Meredith sleeps with inappropriate men she doesn't feel all tingly and gooey inside after knowing a man for a few hours. Something is not right this is not Meredith Grey ideal at all.

"I think you know exactly what I mean Meredith Grey" Cristina rolled her eyes at her. Cristina knows she knows that she knows.

"I do know your right it just isn't me I just sleep with inappropriate men I don't have weird tingly gooey feelings in my stomach after meeting a man a few hours ago...it..it isn't..'Meredith Grey like' it isn't me or atleast..isn't me now" Meredith rambled. She knew what Cristina was thinking and she wasn't getting out of this conversation even if she tried.

"Meredith shut up your rambling gives me a head ache, and we both know this isnt you but I think you should get out there give Mcdreamy a chance" Cristina encouraged her. She knew her person and she definitely knew that Meredith Grey or her Person was freaking out about this.

"Sorry.." Meredith mumbled then continued "but do you really think it could work you know Derek and I?" She asked desperately.

Cristina didn't feel bad for people she had no sympathy what so ever but right now in this very moment she felt bad for Meredith. Her bestfriend is probably the only person she felt sympathy for. Meredith had trust issues her father walked out on her at five years old and Finn cheated on her after two years of dating. "Yes Meredith I think you and Derek would work out great" Cristina said giving Meredith a sympathetic smile.

"Thanks..." Meredith said but then thought about it. What if Derek doesn't like her in that way what if she was one of those girls under his spell that fawn over him. She hadn't even realizing the terror in her face until Cristina spoke up again already knowing what she was thinking.

"Meredith he likes you why else would he sneak away with you to have some hot make out sessions or look at you the way he does" Cristina said putting a hand on her person's shoulder. She was also very observant she could tell how into Meredith that rich boy Derek Shepherd was and as long as he didn't hurt her she wouldn't have to beat the money out of him.

"The way he looks at me?" Meredith questioned to herself out loud.

"Shep doesn't look at people the way he looks at you" Mark said coming from literally no where.

"Mark what the...where did you come from" Meredith asked.

"I'm everywhere can't get rid of me" he shrugged.

"Clearly" she rolled her eyes.

"Yeah and when you and Shep get married I'll be sitting on your couch 24/7"

"Woah there bud who said anything about that I just met the man for god sakes"

"I said it clearly it's just about the way you two look at eachother"

"You know what I'm walking away" she said.

"See you later Grey!" He called out after her.

"Yeah yeah" she said waving her hand at him.

"Is Mark bugging you?" A women asked laughing.

"Oh Mrs. Shepherd, Mark well from what he told me he is just being...Mark" she laughed slightly.

"So I'm assuming he is just showing up randomly and saying things that 'he said'" she put the last part in abbreviations.

"Pretty much" Meredith said.

"Yeah he is...something different Mark Sloan is special" Carolyn said.

"You know what he told me?" Meredith asked know she didn't..well she seems like she knows all so you could never be so sure.

"No dear, what did he say?" Carolyn asked.

"Well...he said...he said that when Derek and I he would be sitting on our couch 24/7" She laughed slightly.
"But I mean I just met Derek so I don't think marriage should be mentioned and I probably wont see your son again.." she started rambling.

"Well he is right over there go talk to him" she said pushing the girl slightly.

"Okay..." Meredith said walking towards the remarkably good looking man with raven locks and ocean eyes.

"Ah Meredith I was just looking for you actually" he said holding his hand out for her to take.

"Really?"

"Yes really I can't leave such a beautiful women like you alone for so long" he said holding her close as they started dancing. It was a ball many people were dancing, so it wasn't weird or anything.

"Well you friend Mark is interesting" she giggled resting her head on his shoulder.

"Oh god Mark is special like he is special needs special" he laughed.

"Trust me it didn't take long to notice"

"Wouldn't think it would be but Mark is family so I'm kinda stuck with him"

"Poor Derek Shepherd is trapped with the one and only speacial needs Mark Sloan"

"Yeah Mark..I have no idea what I'm going to do with him"

"Just let him be Mark" she giggled.

"That might just work" he chuckled.

"So anybody you chose yet?" She asked him curiously hoping deep down that it was her.

"One inpretucular woman yes I'm sure she is the one" he said looking into her eyes.

"Which one is it" she giggled pretending to look around.

He put his finger under her chin and made her look up at him "you" he breathed kissing her lips softly.
