Continuation of If/Then

Part 3

With a full mouth she said, "what."

"You are cute when your mouth is full." Meredith blushed and kicked him.

"Oh I didn't mean it like that." he hissed playfully. "Though I am sure you would look cute doing that too."

Meredith kicked him again and smirked. "Well you will not be finding out tonight."

Derek taken by extreme grief "Why not?"

"This is the first date, I am not a whore." Meredith said slyly.

"We have known each other since for years, so it would be in no way whory to sleep with me. Unless you want it to be whory. Then we can make it whory."

"We might have known each other for years but you didn't notice me until the other day."

Derek looked at her softly and said in a low voice, "I have noticed you since your first day at the hospital."

"of course you noticed me, I was your intern, you had to. But you didn't notice notice me."

"Meredith Grey. I have wanted to take you out on a date since the first time I saw you. I never said anything to you because you represented everything that my life was missing. I had been stuck in a marriage that has been slowly drowning me. But now you have saved me."

They spent the rest of the evening laughing, chatting, or sitting in comfortable silence. After they finished their steaks, Derek ordered them a chocolate cake.

"Nailed it again." Meredith smirked.

After paying, Derek walked Meredith to their car. "So are you sure you don't want to have whory sex with me tonight."

Meredith giggled. "I do but not tonight."

"That's okay dear."

He drove her to her home, all the while holding her hand.

Once Derek reached her house, he got out of the car and opened her door. Meredith slowly and gracefully stepped out then halted. 

"What the hell are you doing here?!"

Alex had been sitting on her doorstep with flowers in her hand.

"Meredith, please come back to me. We both made mistakes, I slept with April and you did whatever with McDreary." Gesturing his towards her date.

"Alex. We. Are. Over. Get that through your thick skull. Sleep with whoever you want. I don't care. Just get out of my face."

Alex boiled over in rage. He couldn't hit her. He knew that, he had watched his father hit his mother and he wasn't that guy. But he had absolutely no qualms with beating the crap out of the man who stole his girl. Alex reached out his fist to hit Derek. 

Luckily, being a super talented neurosurgeon, Derek had incredible reflexes. He moved Alex's arm out of the way and punched him in the gut. Alex retaliated with another punch and landed on Derek's eye. This was when Meredith stepped in. She stepped in front of Alex and raised her knee swiftly. 

"Fuck Meredith!" Alex yelled as he fell to the ground.

"If she will let me." Derek retorted.

(Sorry Sorry Sorry, I know this is absolutely terrible but I had to)

Meredith laughed hysterically. Derek started to call a cab.

"What are you doing?"

"I am calling a cab"

"Why, can you not drive?"

"No I can, but I doubt he can, you really did a number on him. again."

Meredith stared proudly, "I guess I did."

They shoved Alex into the cab that had just arrived. 

"Well that was some end to the date." Meredith said after turning to face Derek.

"The night couldn't be all perfect, I guess a black eye is my karma for having such a good time."

He leaned down and kissed her. After several minutes they pulled apart and he whispered, "no whory sex?"

"no." she retorted as she opened the door walked in and began to close it.

Right before she closed the door she said softly, "I had a good time too."

He smiled, shaking his head as he walked back to his car.
