Meredith And Nathan: fight for your L(ife)ove

Don't stare at me

He was mine, and I was his, and there was no turning back. He wouldn't be capable of running away, at least for now.
-So that's why you were acting so strange? Was it really that hard to say it?
-See for me, it was. I don't know about you, but I find it difficult to express my feelings. That's why I joke so much.
-So what are we? Close friends?
-You shot me right in the heart. Close friends? I don't want to be your friend Mer.
-So what about partners in crime?
-More like partners in life. That sounds nice
-Wow, too fast Flash, calm down. Let's take it easy, we don't wanna get hurt right?
-why would we get hurt? Do you like me? -He said with his soft voice and his perfect smile.
-Yes, do you like me?
-Would I really be here if I didn't like you?
-Fair enough.
-The real question is... if you just "like" me, does that mean you could like someone else and then there would be nothing between us?
-Same for you, Nathan, same for you.
-So, how about "people who enjoy hanging out with each other"?
- I like it.
As he leaned down to kiss me, Maggie entered the room.
- I feel I might have ruined the atmosphere, haven't I?
-Kind of, yeah. But Maggie, stay. Nathan can come later, can't you?
-Got it, I'll see you later
Maggie sat in my bed and hugged me softly, as if I had been gone for years.
Later on, she started crying.
-Maggie, it's okay, I'm fine now. There's nothing to worry about. Be calm.
-I thought I'd lose you, Mer.
-But you didn't, and I'm here, and we are together and I'm ok. You should go get some sleep.
-I won't go anywhere, I won't leave you alone.
-Hey Maggie... who-are -the -kids -with?
-Oh don't worry, Alex is with them. He'll bring them here at lunchtime so that they can see you. Is that okay?
-Totally, thanks.

She sat on the armchair and fell asleep in seconds. I needed to get some sleep too, what a day it had been! But something kept me from falling asleep. I felt like someone was watching me, and I mean like, staring. Really staring...
