my teacher

chapter 71

I'm in the kitchen in my house. I invited derek, Carolyn, Christopher, Nancy and amelia over for dinner. They're all sat at the table whilst I'm serving up the food.

"Shit!" I say as I burn myself again on the pan. I slam the knife on the side.

Derek's pov:
We're all sat at the table in silence, listening to meredith swear to herself as she attempts to cook in the other room.

"I'm gonna help her" i chuckle, standing up. I go to the kitchen. I smile, looking at her. I walk over, wrapping my arms around her from behind. "Relax, meredith" I whisper. She sighs.

"Derek can you serve it up please?" She turns around, hugging me. I hug her tight. "Of course I can" I chuckle softly.

"What's wrong?" I pull away slowly. "The pan is too heavy, so I can't pour the pasta into the-" she picks up the massive pan and tries to pour the food into the small bowls. I chuckle.

"Mer, no" I put the pan down. "Use this to serve it, silly" I pass her the tongs. "But it just falls off!" She yells. "My mom would actually die if she saw you trying to cook" I grab them off of her. She frowns.

I serve the spaghetti into the bowls. "Thankyou sweetheart" she hugs me again. "No problem" I smile, kissing her head. We take the food into the dining room.

Merediths pov:
I bend down next to Amy so I'm at her level. "Honey would you like something to drink?" I ask. She looks at me. I smile as she gently pulls on my hair, looking at it.

"Did you change hair?" She asks. "I got it dyed sweetheart" I say. "Oh" she says. "Just more blonde" I say. "Can you change back?" She asks. I giggle. "Do you not like it?" I ask. She shrugs. I chuckle.

"What would you like to drink?" I ask. "Juice" she says. "Okay" I fill up her bottle with juice. "Thank mer!" She hugs me. I grin.

I sit down. Derek sits next to me. He kisses my cheek. I smile at him. "You did an amazing job, beautiful" he whispers. I smile, hugging him.

"This is really good meredith" Carolyn says. "Really?" I smile brightly. She nods.

Derek's pov:
"Is it better than Derek's spaghetti?" She giggles. My mom looks at me. I smile, nodding. Meredith didn't see. "Yes, way better" my mom says. "Are you jealous?" She looks up at me. "So jealous" I chuckle. She giggles.

She kisses me. I put my hand on her jaw. I pull away slowly. She smiles brightly, looking into my eyes. She keeps cuddled into me.

I get a forkfull of the food and feed it to her. "I don't think it's as good as yours" she says. I smile. It definitely isn't. "I do" I eat a forkfull.

She giggles as I kiss her cheek a few times playfully. "Delicious" I growl playfully in her ear, nibbling on her earlobe. "The food.. or me?" She grins. "..Yes" I say. She laughs.

"Nancy, what do you think?" She asks. "Its good" Nancy says. I smile. There's a knock at the door. "Come in!" She yells. Mark walks in. "A little late?" She gets up. I chuckle.

"Like you didn't already see that coming anyway" he grins. She chuckles. "True.. its not like you're late to English every single day or anything like that" she says sarcastically. Everyone laughs.

He hugs her. "Thanks for inviting me" he pulls away. "Of course, mark" she smiles. She takes his coat and hangs it up for him. He sits down next to Nancy. She gives him a plate of food.

"Did you read that book I leant you?" She asks. "Yes" he says. "What was it about?" She asks. "Umm.." he looks at me. "Murder" I mouth. "Murder mystery book" he says. "Oh! Did you like it?" She asks. He nods. I smile at him as he grins proudly at himself.

"Did you read the book I leant you?" She looks at me. "Oh, you're so cute" I hug her. She scoffs. Mark chuckles.  

"Mark what do you want to drink?" She gets up. "Coke please" he says. She goes to the kitchen. I follow her.

"Oh! Derek, you scared me" she giggles as she bumps into me. I put my hands on her waist, pushing her up against the counter gently. I kiss her.

She grabs my hair gently, kissing me back. I run my hands down her sides. She pulls away slowly. "Honey, go back to the table" she whispers, breathless as she looks at my lips.

She whines quietly as I kiss her again. Her back arches over the kitchen counter and I lean forward to keep our lips connected.

We hear someone clear their throat. I pull away. She gently pushes me back as we see my mom walking in. I chuckle as she gives us both a look.

Meredith wipes my lips with her thumb to get her lipstick off of my lips. She smiles at me as I grin, going back to the dining room.

Once dinner is over, my family and Mark go home and I stay at merediths to help her clean up. I stay over at her house.
