Merthan: What Could've Been

2

When Meredith came inside she saw her sisters on the couch. Maggie had fallen asleep on Amelias shoulder.

"Was it him?" Amelia asked whispering to avoid waking up Maggie. She knew that Meredith had a date, judging from Meredith's outfit.

Meredith nodded as she was standing and leaning against the wall facing Amelia. She was done with denying it.

"Who is he? Do I know him?" Amelia was curious about this guy.

Meredith didn't answer, she was worried that Maggie would wake up and hear something..

"Come on Mer, give me some details. You can talk to me." Amelia said.

"I can't." Meredith replied and crossed her arms.

"I won't tell anyone, I promise." Amelia was more curious over this that she usually was.

"Maybe later. Are you hungry?" Meredith said, because she actually wanted to talk about it, just not infront of Maggie.

"I could eat." Amelia just replied, and let Meredith get off by 'maybe later'.

"Ok, I'm going to order something." Meredith said and went into the kitchen and ordered food.

Meredith was just checking on her kids when the food arrivied. Amelia succesfully removed herself from the couch without waking Maggie and went up to get the food.

Meredith just stepping into the kitchen as Amelia put the food on the kitchen counter. "So is it later now?" Amelia asked.

"Fine... I'll tell you... But just be prepared. I'm a horrible sister..." She said and then saw Amelia starting to panic. "Relax... I'm a horrible sister to Maggie."

Amelia relaxed again and then she asked "So... is it DeLuca?"

"No..." Was all Meredith said.

"Who then? She hasn't been with anyone else since she came here, has she?" Amelia was a bit confused now.

"Not to my knowledge..." Meredith replied.

Amelia suddenly came to think about who it could be. "Wait! It's Riggs isn't it? I thought you hated him."

"I wish I did." Meredith said thinking how much easier everything would be if she had just continued hating him.

"Oh you really like him. When did this happen?" The way Meredith said 'I wish I did' showed how much she liked him.

"Before your wedding. We were fighting, and next thing I knew we were having sex..." Meredith said and her mind wondered off thinking about that night.

"That good?" Amelia asked with a smirk.

"Excuse me?" Meredith said.

"The sex was so good that you stop talking when you think about it." Amelia clarified.

"Shut up." Meredith said. She could feel how red her cheeks were from embarrasment and the way Amelia was smiling at her didn't exactly help. "Ok... yes, it was that good. We did it four times in my car that night."

"Seriously?" Amelia asked surprised, that was dirtier than she expected.

"Yeep..." She said and covered her face with her hands. "...I didn't think it would ever become more than that one night, so when Maggie told me that she liked him, I just decided to not tell her about it. Nothing has happened since that night."

"Nothing?"

"A lot of flirting, but that's it and now I've come to that point were I can't hold back anymore. We really like and understand eachother. I told him that we could go out for drinks tonight, and see if we even would enjoy an evening together. If we would, I would tell Maggie about us. I just figured that telling her about us before there is an us is unnescessary."

"What did he say when you stood him up?" Amelia asked.

"At first he thought that I was using Maggie as an excuse, which I've been doing for a long time, but I managed to convince him that I wasn't and we rescheduled for tomorrow."

"That's it?"

"We might have kissed a little bit too. But trust me when I say that it's the first time we've kissed since we slept together." Meredith said a bit defensive.

"Hey I'm not judging, that man is real eyecandy. That being said, you should tell Maggie."

"Should tell me what?" Meredith and Amelia were startled by Maggie's enterance.
