One week had passed.
Meredith and Andrew just arrived at the hospital and walked in separate ways on their way to the attendings lounge.
"Mer!" Maggie called while walking inside the lounge where she saw Meredith by the closet, Nick by the coffee maker.
"Yeah?" Meredith answered talking out a fresh pair of scrubs
"Where were you last night?" Maggie asked
"Just somewhere...why?" Meredith answered,lied actually.
She wasn't just somewhere, she stayed at Andrew's house last night and had dinner there. Andrew cooked her her favourite pasta of him, his specialty.
"I was going to ask you and Amelia to go out for dinner" Maggie answered
"Dinner why?" Meredith asked smiling slightly, confused
"Why? Can't I take my sisters out for dinner?" Maggie answered, trying to sound offended
"No it's not that... just... you should have texted me or gave me call" Meredith chuckled
"Sisters?" Nick asked, walking to them
"I'm sorry, I was eavesdropping. You and Meredith are sisters?" he added, frowning confusedly
"Biological sisters,yes" Maggie answered
"We can go tonight, I have to tell you something" Meredith said to Maggie as Maggie's pager went off
"It's my heart valve patient, I'll see you tonight then" Maggie smiled before walking out of the room leaving the two doctors behind
"So..." Nick started hesitantly, knowing that Meredith is still avoiding him
"What? you wanna know about my sisters?" Meredith asked as she walked towards the bathroom
"Well, can I? Cause it seems like I'm no one for you now" Nick chuckled nervously, trying to sound as sarcastic as possible
"I have a surgery in 20 minutes, I'll tell you later... okay?" Meredith suggested, trying to offer him a small smile
"Yeah,yeah sure... no problem. I can wait" Nick nodded earning a small smile from her before she disappear in the bathroom locking it behind her.
He found himself smiling, surprised that she ACTUALLY talked to him. The whole, she only talked to him when it's really necessary, when it's about medicine or about a patient....but talking casually?like friends? no ... not yet at least.
Nick walked out of the lounge with a smile drawn on his face with a cup of coffee in his hand.
"You look happy..." he heard someone from behind
"Dr Shepherd..." he said "Yes, I'm kinda in a mood today" he added as Amelia walked next to him
"Mood for what?" Amelia asked,amused
"Well... she's kinda talking to me again" Nick answered, as Amelia looked at him with a confused look and wanted him to continue "The woman who's been avoiding me ever since we saw each other again which was two weeks ago if I'm not mistaken.... she's uh talking to me again and we're actually going to talk later, I'll maybe asked her to go grab a dinner and catch up"
"And she's what of yours?" Amelia asked frowning curiously
"She was my best friend before I left our childhood town 20 years ago" Nick answered, trying not to say Meredith's name
"Wow... two decades" Amelia breathed out, shocked "Weren't you guys talking when you were away?" she added curiously
"She sent me letters and I read them of course but I never had a chance to send her back because of something"
Nick answered hesitantly,but since he knew that Amelia would want to know since she's Meredith's sister "I never write back because my ex girlfriend won't let me... back then and I regret it now " he added
