I wake up in the morning. I smile as I see Derek's arms wrapped around me and his face snuggled into my neck. My face drops as I realise we're not together..
I carefully slip out of his arms, getting up. I go to the drawer. I start getting changed. I hear him clear his throat, groaning quietly as he wakes up.
I turn around. I gasp, grabbing my shirt, covering my chest. "Meredith" he laughs. "Stop looking at me!" I say. "I've seen you naked, weirdo" he says. "We're broken up!" I say.
He rolls his eyes, looking away. I get changed quickly. "Okay.. you can look" I say. He chuckles, looking at me.
He gets up and goes to the dresser. "You look gorgeous" he tucks a strand of my hair behind my ear. I smile. "Shut up.. I haven't even brushed my hair yet" I roll my eyes. He chuckles softly.
"Yeah but you probably should because I was lying.. you look like crap" he says. I grin, hitting him. I walk past him to the bathroom. I brush my hair and style my curtain bangs.
I go into the bedroom. He's sat on the bed. "You ready?" I ask. He nods. We grab our stuff and he drives us to pick up the babies.
They let us in and we go to the living room. "Mommyyyy!!" Lucas says. "Daddaa!!" Mia says. We smile, walking over to them. "hi sweetheart" I pick up lucas.
Mia giggles hysterically as derek picks her up, throws her up into the air and catching her again. I smile. "I missed you so much baby" he kisses all over her face. She cuddles into him.
"I missed you little monkey" he kisses lucas' cheek. He reaches out for him. I pass him to derek. He holds them both in his arms. "Traitors" I say. He grins. I giggle.
"Meredith" my mom walks over to me. "Still no ring?" She asks. I shake my head. Carol walks over. "So.." she says. "We're friends" I say. "Friends?" They say in unison. We nod.
"So.. we cancel the wedding planning?" Carol asks. We look at eachother. "No" we both say. "So you are together?" My Mom asks. We shake our heads.
"We're on a break" I say. "Right? A break?" I look at him. He shrugs, nodding. "Theres no sleeping with other people, no kissing other people and-" I say. "Just, no other people" Derek says. I nod.
"Okay, fine.. we'll pause the wedding planning for now" Carol says. My Mom nods. "Thankyou" we say. "And thanks for watching the babies last night too" Derek says.
"Of course.. we love any time we can steal with our little grandbabies" Christopher says. We smile.
We talk to them a bit more before going home. It's already quite late in the day when we arrive home so we get the babies changed into their pyjamas.
We play with them for a bit before they fall asleep. We put them in their room.
We go to our room, get changed and get into bed. I roll onto my side, looking at him. "So, this just friends thing.. its good, right?" I ask. "Yeah, really good" he whispers.
"You know.. I don't even miss any of the relationship stuff anyway" I say. "Me either" he says. "Who cares about the kissing and cuddles and stuff" I look into his eyes.
"Not me" he moves closer to me. "Me either" I move closer to him. I feel his breath on my lips as our faces are centimetres apart.
I close my eyes. He gently pushes our lips together, kissing me softly but deeply. He pulls away slowly, resting his forehead against mine.
"This is just friendly kissing" I whisper. "Yeah, just two friends kissing" he says.
We both obviously know we're not really just friends but I don't think either of us want to admit we can't stay this way.
He kisses me again. I put my hand on his cheek. We pull away slowly. "I need a drink" I sit up. "Can you get me one too please?" He sits up too, stroking my hair back gently. I nod.
I get up and go to the kitchen. I grab two bottles of water and go back into the bedroom. I climb onto the bed, passing him a bottle. We both drink it.
I put mine on the side. I watch him as he downs the entire bottle. He tosses it aside. He looks at me. We both laugh.
We lay down. "Goodnight meredith" he whispers. He tucks a strand of my hair behind my ear. I close my eyes as he gives my head a soft, lingering kiss. He pulls away slowly.
"Goodnight" I say. I turn around, cuddling Into my pillow. I close my eyes, my heart rate Increasing slightly as I wonder if he's going to cuddle me. He doesn't.
I sigh silently. Its not long before I fall asleep, thinking about our relationship/friendship and what's going to happen between us.
