Strange, crazy and wonderful

Oh the guilt

Meredith brushed the raven haired strands from Blake's face.

Her recovery was quick and she thankful she would be going back to work today, though she was much more happier that Blake and her started sharing a bed again.

They were nowhere near being intimate but they shared kisses and snuggles and that was enough for now. She didn't want to rush Blake and she didn't try and push more than Blake was ready for.

It was a process. One she would have to follow.

Blake's birthday was quiet, they stayed in all day watching her mothers surgery tapes and eating Thai and sushi. It was quiet and Blake held her the entire time. Her gift to Blake was a mismatched knitted scarf, it was far from being designer but Blake laughed and thanked her with kisses all over her face. And now here she was enjoying her girlfriends sleeping face, the way her brow furrowed as if she was trying to decipher a puzzle.

A smile curled up her lips , she glanced at the clock they needed to be up soon. She placed soft kisses all over Blake's face, when she reached her nose she nipped it slightly and chuckled lowly when Blake groaned "mer" Blake's sleepy voice sent a shot of arousal to her gut.

"Baby we have to get up, rounds start in an hour.." she whispered not stopping her butterfly kisses.

When Blake's eyes blinked open, this was probably her favorite shade of blue, it was sky blue, it looked free and she lost herself in Blake's gaze when a small smile curled up on Blake's lips "Hi"

Meredith kissed her lips softly murmuring a soft hi against her lips.. "Hi to you too.." Meredith pulled away and caressed Blake's cheeks "You're beautiful.." she whispered honestly.

Blake chuckled deeply "Perhaps you should look into a mirror Grey.. because you're breathtaking.." staring at her softly.

Blood rushed to Meredith's cheeks, she ducked her head sheepishly "and you're a flirt.. so early in the morning." She laughed "Come on babe.. It's my first day back and I don't want to be stuck on scut.."

Blake hummed but didn't move, she kept staring at Meredith and the look made Meredith's heart beat a bit faster "Why are you staring at me like that?" Asked Meredith with a smile on her lips

Blake licked her lips, when she watched the smile appear "Nothing, just that you're so fucking precious when you smile." She sang out cheesily

The blush darkened and Meredith laughed "God shut up." She muttered bashfully and pushed the sheets off her. She was dressed in panty and Blake's sweatshirts. She threw a grin over her shoulder "shower with me?"

Blake licked her lips taking in Meredith's figure for a moment. "Sure ...darling."

The drive to work was made with idle conversation "Alex says he wants to move in your place, I said he needed to ask you. Something about giving us space?" Asked Blake as she pulled up into the hospitals parking lot.

Meredith chewed her lip "He's still upset with me, I mean he has the right to be, but if he wants to move into the townhouse, then he can have my old room." She shrugged "not like I'll be moving back there." She commented taking Blake's hand in hers, their fingers seamlessly intertwined with each other, a silly smile curled up at her lips. That's what she missed, the little things, the hellos, the good mornings , the sleepy good nights.. the soft kisses, just the easiness.

Blake hummed "Well I'll let him know, though I'll miss his grumpiness in the morning." She paused "how's Preston? I haven't managed to catch Christina long these days. She's been scheduled with Burke every surgery."
