I walk into Derek's room. I put down my bag and smile at him. "I'll be back in a minute" he takes off his headset and puts down his controller.

I walk over to him. He's sat on the edge of his bed. "Hi sweetheart" I hug him tight, sitting on his lap. He wraps his arms around me.

"I missed you today in class" I kiss his cheek. "I missed you too" he chuckles. "You can keep playing.. I just wanted to see you" I say. "You sure?" He asks. I nod.

He carries on playing and talking to his friends on the xbox as I just sit on his lap cuddling him, scrolling through my phone.

I get up and go downstairs as he starts yelling at his friends. I sit with Carolyn instead.

He comes down about am hour later. "Hi sweetie, you okay?" I smile as he sits next to me. He nods. "I don't like you two being friends" he says. We frown.

"Why?" I ask. "Because you could tell her embarrassing stories from when I was little" he looks at Carolyn. "And you could tell her embarrassing stories from now" he looks at me. We both laugh.

"What embarrassing stories?" I ask. "Mhm.. bedroom stories" he says. "Why on earth would I say that to your mom?" I hit him playfully. "Because you're evil" he says. I grin at him. He smiles at me.

I giggle as he kisses me softly. "I am going to my house.. are you coming or not?" I stand up, holding both his hands. "I got some homework to do" he says. "Okay, I love you.. see you later" I kiss him. "See ya" he smiles. I leave.

I'm in bed watching tv. I furrow my brows as I hear a knocking downstairs. I go down and open the door.

"Matt?" I say shocked as I see a tall figure stood infront of me. "Hey" he smiles. "Matt!" I smile, hugging him. He picks me up. I squeal as he spins me around.

Derek's pov:
I walk in merediths house. "Derek!" Meredith smiles. I look at her confused as I see her say on the couch next to a guy.

"Matty this is my boyfriend derek.. derek this is Matt, he's my friend from my old school.. he's an English teacher too" she says. "Hi" I smile at him. He shakes my hand.

"I'll go.. leave you to catch up" I say. "No der, stay" she holds my hand. "I'd love to get to know merediths new boyfriend" Matt gives her a look. She chuckles.

"Derek stay please" she says. "Okay" I sit next to her. "Wine?" He asks. "Yes-" I say. "No!" Meredith stops him. I roll my eyes. "He's.. 18" she says hesitantly. "You're such a tell tail" I scoff.

"Meredith" he says. "Shut up" she says. I furrow my brows. "He's younger than you?" He asks. "Obviously" she rolls her eyes.

"A teen?" He whispers. "An adult!" She says. "I am here" I say. "Sorry" they both say.

"Eighteen?" He says again. "Matt.. I'm happy, leave me alone" she says. "I'm sorry" he says. She looks back at me. I keep looking at him as he stares at her.

"You want a drink?" She asks. "No thankyou" I finally look at her. "Okay" she says.

"Did you finish your-" she asks. "Yes" I say. "good, more time to spend with me now" she grins. I wrap my arm around her small waist, resting my hand on her stomach.

"Matt would you like something to eat? I have.. um" she furrows her brows. "Nothing?" He laughs. She giggles, nodding. I roll my eyes.

"I could cook something" I say. She looks back at me. "Yeah?" She asks. "You cook?" Matt asks. "Derek's an amazing cook.. his mom teaches him" she entwines our fingers.

"Actually, can you go next door and steal some of your mom's muffins for us?" She grins at me. "Yes" I chuckle. "Don't actually steal them! Ask her" she giggles. I stand up.

She let's go of my hand. "Blueberry or chocolate chip?" I lean down to her. "You get blueberry and ill get chocolate chip and we can split them" she says. "You're gonna steal my muffin, aren't you?" I grin. She giggles, nodding.

I kiss her lips softly before standing up straight. "You?" I ask. "Chocolate chip please" he says. I leave.

I walk back in with the muffins. She's laughing again. I take a breath and smile.

"Oh, you're back.. sit here sweetie" she pulls me down onto the couch. I pass him his muffin. She sits on my lap.

"Which one first?" I wrap my arms around her, the muffins infront of her. I rest my chin on her shoulder. She giggles, taking a massive bite from one of the muffins.

"Mhm they're always so good" she moans, her head tilting back onto my shoulder. I chuckle.

"Your mom is actually my role model.. I'm going to be her when I'm a bit older" she says. "You will not be my mom when you're older" I say. She giggles.

She takes a big bite of the other muffin in my hand. I push it into her face. She hits me. I laugh. She giggles, wiping her face.

"They're good, aren't they matt?" She asks. He nods. "I should head off" he stands up. "Already?" She asks. "Yes but do you want to get lunch with me tomorrow?" He asks. "Sure" she says.

She stands up. "It was nice meeting you" he says. "You too" I say. She walks him to the door.

"Where are you staying?" She asks. "I'm driving home" he says. "That's two hours away!" She says. "Its fine" he smiles. "No, stay here tonight.. its too late to drive that far" she says. I sigh.

"Are you sure?" He asks. "Yeah, the spare room is already made" she says. "Okay, thanks mer" he says. "Of course" she smiles. I roll my eyes. She closes the front door. Great.
