She toyed with the piece of paper he had given her , of course she was confused. He hated her father, her brother and her mother, he had no reason to go for her, there were plenty of women in the bars, clubs and web. She couldn't understand why he seemed so invested on them spending time together, why he seemed to worried thinking Nathan had taken advantage.
For Derek he had never been so intrigued by a woman, he had never felt inclined to protect anyone other than his sisters. He had slept with many women, met many women but he had never wanted to protect any of them or know more about them.
He wanted to know how she was doing, he wanted to know what she was doing, he wanted to know if she had someone else other than Nathan. She was beautiful, not just her body but it was something else about her, something he hadn't seen before. A radiating warmth. Considering who her family was she was a rare kind.
She grabbed her phone from her bedside unit and typed in the number he had given her. She added him to her contacts before deciding to type a quick message.
Hey, its Meredith. Why did you give me your number again 😊
As she awaited a reply she scrolled through instagram, liking various posts until she saw a name that she had become familiar with mixed within her suggested friends. Feeling curious and wanting a look into his life she clicked onto it.
His first images summed up the rest of them, everything related to cars, dogs or him in a suit not that she could complain.
The sixth image she saw caught her eye, he stood posing in a suit looking overly handsome as he was. She scrolled back through, seeing him with his family, at bars, on planes and more cars.

She had just finished searching through his profile when his name flashed up on her screen.
Derek👻~ Shouldn't you be sleeping. I gave you my number in case you ever wanted to use it like you just did.
Derek had just gotten in from taking home his mothers dog when the text came through, she was a 5 month old brindle bull mastiff. He had connected with her the moment Carolyn bought her back and introduced him to her. He would often take her to the lake to swim with him.
Before he even looked at who had messaged him he showered, cleansing himself of the lake smell. He pulled on a pair of his plaid pyjama bottoms, grabbed a fresh bottle of water, turned the televison in his bedroom on and sat on his large bed before looking at his phone.
His room was decorated in only black, maybe a hint of grey and red with his bed sheets and other accents. He didn't have much colour in his life.
Looking at the message from 'unknown' a smile creeped on his face. He hadn't expected a message from her so quickly.
Meredith🤪- I was watching my tv and thought I would message and see why you wanted me to have your number. I think my father would kill me if he knew.🤣
