merder mafia leader in love

chapter 169

Me and meredith got into a really bad argument this morning. It's our only argument all year. I fucked up. I kinda.. forgot about our anniversary.

I go into the living room. She's sat on the couch, watching TV, wearing one of my shirts. The babies are at my parents house.

I sit next to her. She looks at me. She has tear stains down her cheeks. I'm such an idiot. "Go away, derek" she sighs, pulling a blanket over herself. "Meredith, I'm so sorry" I hold her hand in mine.

She pulls away and grabs her phone as it starts ringing. "Hi cris" she answers it. She runs her fingers through her hair, standing up. "No, he's an asshole!" She yells down the phone, obviously directing it at me. I sigh.

"I'm not going anywhere with him tonight.. let's go out" she walks upstairs.

Merediths pov:
It's 7pm and me and cristina are at the bar. I'm wearing a tight black dress and I've drank a lot of tequila. I haven't spoken to derek much today.

Right now, I'm actually dancing with a couple of guys. "Hey, watch it!" Cristina yells as one of them runs their hands down my body. She's sat at the bar, just drinking and watching me.

"My husband would kill you if he were here" I giggle, wrapping my arms around the guys neck. "Is he an ass?" He asks. "..no, he's not" I say.

"Then why are you here, flirting with me?" He asks. I sigh as my phone starts ringing. I grab it out of my bag and walk away.

"Hi" I sit down at the bar. "Are you alright?" Derek asks. "..yes, I'm just at the bar" I say. "Okay, sorry.. I just wanted to check on you" he says. I roll my eyes.

"I've been flirting with guys" I say. "Meredith" he sighs. "Does that make you jealous? Does it make you remember me?" I ask. "Remember you?" He asks.

"Sometimes it feels like you forget you even have a wife.. when was the last time you bought me flowers, derek? Or took me out on a date?" I say. "I never forget you, mer.. I'm sorry but I've been busy this month with work" he says.

"Meredith, I love you so much darling" he says. "I don't love you" I say. "Don't say that" he says. "I don't!" I yell. "You're drunk" he sighs.

"I'm drunk.. and horny.. and sad because my husband isn't going to make love to me tonight because he's a stupid ignorant selfish asshole" I say angrily.

"Come home, baby" he says. "Don't baby me" I say. "I'm gonna come and pick you up, okay?" He says.

"No! I'm getting a new boyfriend.. there's a guy here called Toby, it might be him" I say. "You're literally ridiculous.. I'll be there in five minutes" he says. "No-" I say before he hangs up. I groan.

"Come here" Cristina says. I sit next to her. "Be strong, okay?" She runs her fingers through my hair. "I wanna kill him" I say. "That's the spirit" she says. I giggle.

He walks in a few minutes later. I take another shot. "Are you Toby?" He walks over to one of the guys. "Derek" I run over and grab his arm before he can get any closer. I pull him over to the bar instead. Derek glares at them from across the room.

"Are you okay?" He asks as I sit back down on the stool. He steps closer and puts his hands on my hips, looking deep into my eyes. "Yes" I whisper.

"You sure?" He puts one of his hands on my cheek. "I'm fine" I whisper. "Can she get a water please, Joe?" He asks. The bartender hands me a glass of water. "Drink it" he whispers. I take a few sips and put it down.

I look into his eyes as he runs his fingers through my hair, sorting it out for me. He smiles at me when he notices me staring.

"I love you" I say quietly. "I love you more" he whispers. I shake my head. "Meredith I'm so sorry, baby" he whispers. I gasp quietly as he tears up.

"I'm so sorry for forgetting" he says. "Derek" I say shocked, wiping his tears quickly. Normally, I wouldn't forgive anyone this quick.. but derek never ever cries, and he certainly wouldn't in public.

"Its okay, come here" I hug him. "I'm so sorry" he says again. "Its okay darling, shh" I rub his back.

"I've just.. there's been so much stuff going on at work" he sits on the stool next to me. "Yeah?" I ask. He hasn't told me about anything going on at work recently at all.

He tells me about everything. "I didn't know how much stress you were under.. you should've told me" I sigh, hugging him again. I stand between his legs, hugging his neck.

"It doesn't make it okay that I forgot" he whispers. "No, it doesn't.. but it does make me understand why a lot better, which is why you should've spoken to me about it" I sigh.

I pull away from him slowly. "We've both been acting like idiots today" i whisper. "Yeah" he chuckles. "I'm sorry" I say. "I'm sorry too" he says.

"Do you just wanna go home?" I ask. He nods. "We can go on a date tomorrow?" I suggest. "Already booked a table at your favourite restaurant" he says. "I love you" I smile. "I love you" he says.

I lean in and kiss him deeply. He puts his hands on my waist and very gently pulls me closer. I wrap my arms around his neck. He wraps his arms around my waist.

I pull away slowly and smile. "Happy anniversary, baby" he whispers. "Happy anniversary, sweetheart" I chuckle softly. He smiles.

"I'm gonna go home and have make up sex with my idiot husband.. do you need a lift home?" I look at cristina. "No, I'm good" she chuckles. I hold his hand. He follows me out of the bar. We go home.
