Hidden Feelings

•Chapter 7•

DEREKS POV
Amelia came into my office. She was all smiley and bubbly.
"You look happy," I said.
"Yeah," she said and sat down next to me.
"Date go well?" I asked.
"Yeah," she replied, "but I'm scared."
"How so?" I asked.
"I'm really scared that I'm going to run or mess it up," she said.
"You're not going to mess it up," I said comforting her.
"I'm just so scared because I love him so much and I mess everything up or I hide my feelings with drugs or alcohol but this time is different and I don't want to mess it up because goddamn it, it's gonna hurt if I mess this up," she said.
"Come here," I said and gave her a hug.
"I love him," she smiled.
"I know you do," I said.
"I really love him," she smiled. She looked genuinely happy.
"You're happy," I said, "I like it."
"Me too," she said.
AMELIAS POV
I was walking and I saw Owen. I smiled and waved at him. I walked over to him.
"Hey you," I said.
"Hey you," he said. He put my arm around me and kissed my temple.
"Wanna come over tonight?" I asked.
"Yeah sure my shift gets over at 8," he said.
"Ugh mines over at 5," I frowned.
"That's an ugh because?" he asked.
"Because then I have to wait to see you," I said.
"You're cute," he said.
"You're pretty good looking yourself," I laughed and hit his chest.
"You hungry?" he asked.
"Yeah," I said.
"My next surgery is in twenty minutes wanna join me?" he asked.
"Yes," I said. We walked into the cafeteria and he sat across from me.
"I'm tired," I yawned.
"Me too," he said. I fluffed my hair and took a sip of my soda.
"You're hot," he said.
"Yeah I know," I laughed.
"when's you're next surgery?" he asked.
"45 minutes," I said, "why?"
"I've got 15 let's go," he said and grabbed my arm.
"Hm?" I asked as he locked and on call room door. I kissed him passionately and he lifted me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist.

I got home and unlocked Derek's front door.
"Anyone home?" I yelled.
"Me!" Meredith called from upstairs. I locked the door behind me and walked upstairs.
"Hey what's up?" Meredith asked.
"Nothing, light day, Derek had all the surgeries mostly," I laughed.
"Aye more alone time," she laughed.
"Actually...Owen and I are dating!" I said. She sat up and smiled.
"Really?" She said.
"Yes!" I smiled.
"I'm so happy for you!!" She got up and hugged me. I hugged her tightly back. The doorbell rang.
"I'll get it," I said. I walked downtown stairs and opened the door. It was Owen.
"Hey, I thought you wouldn't be home for a while," I said confused, "don't you have surgery?"
"It got canceled thought I'd surprise you," he said.
"That's cute," I smiled. He wrapped his arms around my waist and I walked backwards and we fell on the couch.
"Mer's home," I said before I kissed him.
"That's ok," he said. He kissed me more. I burst out laughing.
"What's so funny," he said.
"I'm sorry," I was laughing hysterically. He smiled and put his arm around me.
"It's funny how she's upstairs and we almost had sex," I laughed.
"You're so adorable," he said.
"Do you like Indian food?" I asked.
"Yeah," he said.
"Ok," I said. He kissed my temple and leaned his head into mine. I turned the TV on and we watched TV together.
"Amelia!" Meredith called from upstairs.
"Yeah?" I yelled.
"Can you order me Indian food too my purse is on the table," she yelled back.
"Yeah are what do you want?" I yelled.
"I don't care," she yelled.
"Okay," I yelled. I looked over at Owen.
"You gotta yell pretty loud to hear upstairs," I laughed.
"How can she hear us," he laughed. I lifted up the pillow and found the baby monitor. I held it up.
"This my friend," I laughed. He smiled. Someone unlocked the door. It was Derek and the kids.
"Bailey!" I said and went over and hugged him. I picked him up and kissed his head.
"Owen!" He said.
"Wanna say hi?" I asked him.
"Yeah!" He said.
"Someone's full of energy," I said.
"Yeah I am daddy took us out for ice cream!" He said. I kissed his head and brought him over to Owen.
"Hi Owen!" He said.
"Hey buddy," he said. I sat down and put Bailey in my lap. Zola came running over and sat next to me.
"How was your day at work?" She asked me.
"It was good, how was your day at daycare?" I asked.
"It was good," she said.
"Okay kids time for dinner," Derek said.
"I'm a kid," I smiled.
"Yes I will make you food," he laughed.
"I'm kidding, Owen and I are ordering food," I said.
"Alright," he said, "Meredith home?"
"Yeah she's upstairs," I said. I ordered Meredith's food and Owen and I's. Owen and I watched TV in my room for a while.
"Hey Owen," I said.
"Yeah," he said.
"Do you want kids?" I asked.
"Yes I want kids," he said.
"Kids are cute," I said.
"You're cute with kids," he said.
OWENS POV
Amelia was so hot. I kissed her temple and she smiled. She smiles so much it makes me happy. I love her smile. Amelia's phone started ringing.
"Hey can you grab my phone," she asked. I picked it up and handed it to her. She read the name and got up and walked out of the room for a minute.
"Derek!!" she yelled. I got up and opened the door. She was pacing back and forth.
"Derek I'm going to kill you get your ass down here!" she yelled. Derek walked down the stairs. Amelia looked pissed.
"What?" He asked.
"You told mom about us?" she asked pointing at me and back at her.
"Yes I talk to mom sometimes," he said.
"That was not the damn question," she said.
"Yes I told her she asked about you," he said.
"Yeah well she called me and asked me how many pills I've had or drinks I've downed happy golden child?" she asked coldly and grabbed my arm. She slammed the door and sat down on the bed. I knew she was going to break down. I sat next to her. I went to put my arm around her and she stopped me.
"If you touch me I might cry or scream or punch you I'm not sure which one okay?" she said.
"Okay," I said. She grabbed the leftover Indian food and sat quietly and ate some of it.
"Wanna go for a walk?" she asked.
"Sure," I said. She grabbed my hand and held it. She squeezed my hand and gave me a weak smile.
"Do you talk to your mom?" she asked.
"Yes," I said.
"Is it nice? Do you talk normally?" she asked.
"Yes it's nice, I like talking to my mom," I said.
"Wish my mom didn't think I was still an addict and can't make decisions on my own," she said quietly, "I mean I'm 28."
"Maybe she's overprotective," I said.
"Derek's the golden child," she said opening the door. We walked out and it was kinda cold. She stopped and looked at me.
"You know what would be fun?" she asked me.
"What?" I asked.
"Screaming at the universe, let's go," she said.
"You do this often?" I asked.
"I usually do it alone," she said, "that's how much I trust you."
"You know I usually just punch walls," I said.
"Hmm, sounds like it could hurt," she laughed. I put my arm around her and she held my hand on her shoulder.
"I trust you to know all my secrets," she said. I kissed the top of her head and she smiled.
"I love you," I said.
"I love you too," she said. She looked out into the dark sky and held my hand a little tighter.
"Let's go kick the universe's ass," she said.
