Dance for me

Chapter 24

Meredith Grey

Derek and I rush into the house and go upstairs just to clean everything and he gave me another small talk. We go downstairs and his mother is sitting in the recliner with a cup of tea in her hands. Well she wasn't hesitant to make herself at home. Derek leads me over to the couch and we sit next to each other and I smile softly at Carolyn and she smiles back. There is kind of something that feels comfortable around her even if she walking in on Derek and I, and she also made the whole situation awkward. She still somehow seems comforting.

"Derek Shepherd" she says turning to him.

"Mom?" he questions he looks nervous, I hold back a laugh.

"Why have you been hiding this beautiful woman from me, I need to know" she frowns at him. "You haven't said a word about her" she continues.

"We weren't ready for that" he says softly looking at her.

"Not serious enough...do you not feel as strongly for her?" she whispers the last part as if I'm not sitting right here.

"What? no! That is not the case at all, I like Meredith so much" he says.

"Just like or love her?" she asks curiously.

"Mom" he sighs softly.

"I'm just asking Derek" she says.

"Yes mom I love her and she loves me, we are in love" he answers her question and she gets the brightest smile ever.

"Oh that is great news! for you both that is wonderful!" she starts to get excited.

"Yes it is" he nods softly.

"Well than I still don't understand if you love her so much why haven't you talked about her?" she asks.

"We were just keeping it down, no pressure mom" he says softly and I smile putting my hand on his hand that he rested on his thigh.

"Okay fine, I won't tell anybody you can tell them yourself, I'm going to your guest room to sleep" she says getting up from the chair and Derek helps her. "Nice meeting you Meredith" she smiles at me.

"You too, I mean it's been nice meeting you too...Mrs. Shepherd" I stammer slightly and she just chuckles while shaking her head before she heads to the guest room.

"See? she adores you Meredith" Derek whispers into my ear.

"How do you know she only talked to me like three times the rest was spent grilling you" I say laying into his body as he holds me up.

"You might not be able to see it but I see it and she adores you" he says and I smile slightly. "Now let's get to my room" he says kissing on my neck.

"Not while your mother is here" I giggle slightly.

"Why not? you can be quiet" he says and picks me up catching me off guard.

"Derek!" I shout with a laugh.

"Please?" he begs softly as we make it to his room and he lays me in the bed.

"Derek, your mother" I say again as he locks the door.

"My mother showed up to my house uninvited, this is my house not hers I don't care if she is here or not" he says crawling in the bed as he kisses my collar bone.

"Fine" I give in and he chuckles and undresses us both.
