You Are The Woman

Dropping her bag onto the floor Meredith reached for the discarded magazine on the empty chair next to hers, it wasn't one she'd usually pick out for herself but right now it was better than nothing.

As a rule she hated hospitals and what she hated most was waiting around in the lobby of one, far too much of her eighteen years had been spent doing exactly this already.

With a single phone call her mother had managed to ruin her weekend and where as normally both mother and daughter were pretty good at avoiding time spent with the other this time Ellis Grey had been insistent.

Now Meredith was left regretting deciding against just simply not turning up because it was more than obvious all that was install for her when her mother did bother to turn up was a lecture. The same lecture she had been hearing for most of her life, about how she wasn't living up to the Grey name and how her behavior was a constant embarrassment.

A five hour drive, a waste of a Friday night and all for what… a lecture she could repeat in her sleep and that was already forty minutes late in coming but really she knew she should of never expected any different not from her mother anyway. Though Ellis Grey was a great docter, a fantastic surgeon mothering however was not one of her skills.

So here she was pissed off, tired and in no mood to try and hide it as her foot tapped impatiently and she turned each page with increasing force.

With a tired sigh Derek ran a hand through his hair leaning back against the wall, his eyes lazily scanning the lobby as he waited for his best friend.

The second however that his gaze rested on the blonde angrily flicking her way through a magazine his weariness after a thirty six hour shift vanished and every wish he had made for Mark to just hurry up he regretted because he couldn't think of anywhere else he would rather be.

Long dirty blonde hair hung in soft waves down past her shoulders and a lavender sweater clung to curves that caused his palms to sweat and his heart to beat faster.

Finally as if she felt his stare she raised her head and for him it was like being punched in the stomach, the breath leaving his body as he lost himself in the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen.

Now though she was staring right back with a scowl that instead of scaring him off only piqued his interest further. Derek was well used to women giving him the come on but never in all his twenty eight years had he been scowled at quite so adorably.

Though he wasn't quite smiling there was a warm glow radiating from those striking blue eyes that made it clear he would need only the slightest encouragement to do so. But whoever this stranger was she knew just by the way he leaned with his head tilted slightly that he expected girls to fall at his feet, blush when he smiled and that wasn't for her.

In her mind arrogance and an ego of the kind he obviously possessed was well in need of a being dented so she scowled right back. Yet even she who had denial down to a fine art couldn't ignore the warmth his gaze bathed her in or the way her heart had flipped in her chest when their eyes first met. And then there was the fact it was hard not to be impressed by his thick skin as he disregarded her scowl to sit down beside her.

"You shouldn't scowl at me … … Or ignore me!"

Derek hadn't realized he was going to come over till his feet had started moving and it wasn't like he really had much choice in the matter. There was something he couldn't describe or try to explain that told him this girl whoever she was, was someone he needed to know.

He had only added the ignoring part when she had done just that but there was something in his voice that made it impossible for her to keep doing so.

"And why not?"

"Because I'm someone you need to know to love,"

"So if I know you I'll love you???"

Meredith knew the grin playing on her lips was ruining the effect of her skeptically raised eyebrows but she couldn't help it.

"Oh yes."

Derek nodded wondering why the hell he was using these lame lines that even Mark would have been embarrassed off and Addison… god he didn't even want to think of what Addison would say if she could hear him.

"You really like yourself don't you?"

Her grin turned in to a full blown smile and Derek was once again left with the feeling of having his breath sucked right out of him and was unable even if he had wanted too to resist smiling right back at her.

The moment his lips curled into a smile that lit those blue eyes Meredith knew without a shadow of doubt she was lost because she Meredith Grey who didn't believe in soul mates or love at first sight was unable to rid herself of the thought no matter how stupid it was that this man had been made to complete her.

"Just hiding my pain… So hot angry lady what do I call you?"

"Meredith,"

"Meredith…"

He said her name as if he was tasting something sweet sending shivers of desire straight down her spine, Meredith tried to hide it with a laugh which even to her own ears sounded shaky as he took her hand.

"And arrogant ass what do I call you?"

"Derek, Dr Derek Shepherd… … And Meredith I have a feeling I may of met my match!"

Staring in to the mesmerizing green eyes that held the same slightly puzzled look that he guessed was reflected in his own Derek knew that wasn't just a line.

This girl, Meredith whoever she was evoked something in him he had never felt before and all he knew was he didn't want this moment to end, he couldn't let it end.

With his large hand still holding hers Meredith found it impossible to look away and how she wasn't sure off but she knew her life was never going to be the same again.

"Is that so?"

"Mmm hmm… … So how about you stop waiting for who ever it is you're waiting for and come for a drink with me instead?"

Derek did his best to act casual but he was nervous and for the life of him he couldn't remember ever asking a girl out and feeling this way before.

And for a second he was sure she was going to say no, he watched intently as she took one more look around the lobby before a glint of steel flashed in her eyes and her lips set in a firm line.

"You know what Dr Derek Shepherd that sounds like a great idea."

Standing up Meredith held out her hand to him and without a single doubt or second thought for Mark he stood up taking it in his own and allowing her to lead him out of the hospital.

You are the woman that I've always dreamed of
I knew it from the start
I saw your face and that's the last I've seen of my heart
