Me, izzie, cristina, addison, Jackson and Alex are hanging out at my house in my room.

"I'm bored" Addison says. "Me too" I say. "You should invite derek over" izzie nudges me. I roll my eyes. "Hes studying today.. its sunday" I giggle.

Cristina grabs my phone. "he's on his way" she says. "What?" I grab if. "Cristina!" I exclaim as I read the message.

"Oh it doesn't hurt to flirt a little" she shrugs. "A little?" I roll my eyes. A little while later my window opens. "hey" Derek says. "Hey" I giggle.

I open the window wider. He climbs in. "Idiot" I giggle as he rolls onto the floor. I pull him up.

"Hi" he grins. "Hi" I giggle. I hug him quickly. This is the first time I've seen him since he punched that guy for me.

"We're all hanging out so I wanted you to join.. you don't have too much studying to do today, do you?" I ask. He shakes his head. "What are you guys doing though?" He whispers so only I can hear.

"We're not drinking" I grin. I chuckle softly as he let's out a small breath. "But maybe we should be.." I say. He whines. I hold his hand, pulling him to my bed. We sit down.

I reach under my bed, grabbing a bottle of tequila. "Yessss" they all say. I grin. I open it. "Close the door" I whisper. Alex shuts it so my mom can't walk in.

We start drinking. "You don't have to drink if you don't want" I whisper in his ear. "Okay" he says. I look into his eyes as he moves his hand up to my face. "What are you?-" I ask.

"Eyelash" he pulls away. "Oh" I giggle. "Wish" he whispers, holding it on his hand. I smile. I close my eyes for a second, thinking. I blow it off of his hand.

"What did you wish for?" He asks enthusiastically, making me giggle. That you'd like me back. "I can't tell you.. it won't come true" I grin. He sighs. I chuckle.

"Mer" izzie says. I look at her. She passes me the tequila. I take a few more sips.

It's a little while later and most of us are tipsy, other than derek. "You drink like a mad person" he says. I giggle, resting my head on his shoulder.

"We should play a game" I pull away. "Truth or dare?" Izzie asks. "Spin the bottle!" Cristina says. "Shh! My Mom will hear you" I giggle.

"Who do you wanna kiss?" Alex smirks at cristina jokingly. Izzie hits him. "Its not for ME" she gives him a look. "Ooohhhh" he realises. I roll my eyes. Do they have to make it so obvious?..

I shake my head no. "Come on mer" the girls all grab me, pulling me onto the floor. I giggle. "Come on.. I'm only playing if you do" I tug on Derek's leg. He shakes his head.

"Come on" I giggle. He groans, sitting next to me on the floor. I look at him. He leans closer. "I've never kissed anyone before.." he whispers quietly. He kissed me..

"Its okay, I haven't either" I lie. I obviously have. "Really?" He asks shocked. "Are you calling me a slut?" I say. "W-what? no!" He says. I giggle. "I'm just teasing you" I grin. He sighs, rolling his eyes. I chuckle.

"Meredith go first" Addison passes me the bottle. "Okay" I say. I giggle, spinning the bottle. It lands on Alex. "Seriously" I say. Everyone chuckles.

I lean in. I kiss him quickly on the cheek. Everyone boos jokingly. "I'm not kissing my friends boyfriend" I giggle. "Loyal" izzie says. I grin.

"Fine" Addison chuckles, rolling her eyes. A few more people spin until it gets to derek. It lands between me and Addison. "You have to kiss them both" izzie says. I glare at her.

"Or spin again?" She says. "Spin again" I say. "Okay" he spins the bottle again. I try to hide my excitement as it lands on me.

We look at eachother. "If you kiss her on the cheek I'll be pissed" cristina says. I giggle.

He leans in. My heart pounds in my chest as he pushes our lips together. I hesitantly put my hand on his cheek.

I try to hold back my moan as he puts his hands on my cheeks. My back arches slightly back as he slides his tongue into my mouth.

God, he's a much better kisser when he's sober. Our first kiss wasn't bad. It was actually amazing.. but having his tongue move around in my mouth is a pleasure I never knew I needed.

He pulls away suddenly. "W-why'd you stop?" I giggle. "I gotta go" he says. "What? Why?" I ask. "I got a text from my mom" he says. He's lying.. why?

"What.. did you find the message in my mouth?" I raise my brow. He chuckles. "I just- I gotta go" he gets up. "..okay" I say.

He goes to the window, climbing out. My eyes go wide as be falls out and I hear a thud. I run to the window, looking down.

I let out a breath as I see him climb out of the bushes. "I'm okay!" He walks away. I giggle.

"Mhm.. that was weird, right?" I turn to face the others. They all nod. "You think he freaked out because he realised he's been madly in love with me this whole time?" I say. "Probably not" izzie chuckles. I shrug.

"I'll text him later.. I guess" I sit back down. "Wait for him to text you" izzie says. "What? Why?" I ask. "See if he's interested" she says.

"How was the kiss?" Izzie asks. I giggle. "It looked pretty good" cristina says. I grin. "It was" I say.

"What if I wasn't a good kisser?" I say. "You probably was" cristina says. "How do you know?!" I exclaim. Before I can say anything else I feel someones lips on mine.

"Izzie!" I pull away. "Decent" she says. I giggle. "I wanna try" cristina kisses me. "Mhm!" I pull away. I put my hand over my mouth. "Everybody stop kissing me!" I say. They laugh.

Its a little while later when my phone rings. I jump up, climbing onto my bed. I go to answer it. Cristina grabs it. "Nooo!" I whine. "Let it ring for a minute" she says.

I roll my eyes, sitting down on the floor. It rings one more time. "Okay! I'm answering it" I grab it. Everyone groans. I walk out of the room.

"Hey" I say, answering it. "Why didnt you tell me?" He asks. "What?" I ask. "I kissed you" he says. "I recall" I say sarcastically. "Not today.. before, when I was drunk" he says. My stomach drops.

"You forgot.." I say quietly. "So why didn't you tell me?" He asks. "I don't know derek, I- I got nervous and didn't want it to be awkward between us" I say. He's silent.

"Der" I say. "Yeah" he says. "I'm sorry for not telling you" I say. "Its okay, I just wish you did.. thats something I'd like to remember" he says. I smile.

"Derek" I say after a couple of seconds of silence. "Meredith" he says playfully. I grin. "Can you come back to my house?" I ask. "Yes" he says. A smile appears on my face.

We say goodbye and hang up. I go into the bedroom. "I need you all to go" I say. "Whattt?" They all whine. "Derek's coming over.." I say. Cristina smirks. "Its not like that!" I say.

They laugh. "I just need to talk to him alone" I say. They all agree. I say goodbye to them and they all leave.

I run into my bathroom. I brush my hair and curl my lashes. I take a breath. There's a light knock on my window. He's here.
