Hey wonderful people who selected this story to read! Thank you for that by the way. This is my second story of Grey's Anatomy, last time I quit, this time I'm not going to, or at least try. I love the show and look forward to Thursdays purposely for that reason. I love where the show is also at in this moment, it makes me giddy. Lol.

Ok, here are some things you need to know:

Meredith is in her second month of her internship, meaning her and Derek are already together just the Chief doesn't know yet. This is my take on how I would've liked it to go when Meredith gave Derek the opportunity to explain his past. Also, I can not promise to portray Meredith's character to its fullest. I am not a dark and twisty person and I plan on her not being so bad because I am going to try to prevent most of the bad stuff from happening. She will have the Ellis problem, the daddy issues, abandonment issues, the alcohol issues, and trust issues. But some of those not as strong because of Derek, this picks up in the episode either 1.7 or 1.8 where Meredith wants to know more about Derek. I hope you guys enjoy!

It was Meredith's second month being an intern at Seattle grace hospital and it had only continued to get even more complicated. The fact that she was sleeping with her boss's boss wasn't making it any easier. Of course she hadn't known that he was an attending when she first slept with him she hadn't done anything to stop it. She had only weakly attempted to stop him but with her pleasure he pushed her and persuaded him with his McDreamy smile and she became putty when he did that.

To say she wasn't falling for him would be an understatement. She thought about him constantly no matter where she was and as embarrassing as it was for her to be caught when she did that, she couldn't stop. But right now she was watching him, as he paced around the room getting ready for the hospital and his long shift.

"You know, we never go to your place. Do you have a place?" Meredith asked Derek as he walked around and she sat on the bed they had just gotten up from.

He had spent the past week with her. Not just having sex every night but sometimes just falling asleep together wrapped in each others arms. It had become a comfort to her, one she hadn't ever felt or known before. Her dad left her before she could ever feel that way and her mom always cared more about her work then her daughter. Feeling that way towards Derek was a risk for her and trusting him was an even greater risk, but if it resulted in her feeling the way she did towards him then she would risk it all.

"I like it here and I like being here. You're here, do you not like me being here?" he asked tilting his head to the side and flashing his McDreamy smile.

"No, I like you here. But don't you have a home? Somewhere you need to return to and keep up with things?" she asked curious to find out more things about her lover potential boyfriend.

"I do." he stated then turned back to the bathroom to brush his teeth.

After sharing breakfast together and then heading into the hospital and going their separate ways they returned to their jobs and set aside their personal life, for now.

Meredith entered the intern locker room and quickly changed into her scrubs ready to work. Bailey continued to add to her work load and make her jump threw hoops having her run labs and do paperwork all day.

She was just coming out of the elevator after dropping off blood work and ran into Derek.

"Hey." he said to her with a smile.

"Hi." she responded coolly flashing her own small smile.

"What's wrong?" he asked her stopping to study her more. After spending only a couple months time with her he was already catching on to your facial expressions and learning her more.

"Nothing...I...It's just, why won't you tell me anything about you and your life?" Meredith asked. It had been bothering her lately and she was getting frustrated. Normally she didn't even have relationships, which she was pretty sure this was, and she never cared about the other person but this was different and she actually wanted to get to know him better.

"Why does it bother you?" he asked.

"Because we're sleeping together and know nothing about each other," she explained.

"It's called fate, go with it." he told her flashing her that wonderful smile and taking off down the hall in a hurry.

She let out a frustrated sigh and turned to continue on with her day.

---------------------

It was lunch time and she was having lunch with Christina.

"Why does it bug you so much? You get to have sex and not have to worry about the awkward stuff. It's just sex." Christina told her after Meredith had shared the whole story with her.

Honestly she didn't know why it bugged her so much. She never did relationships. Her mom never displayed a healthy relationship with anyone, since she pushed her father away to the point where he left them to find a perfect family for himself and her mother sure as hell didn't have a good relationship with her own daughter. But with Derek it was different. She felt an automatic pull towards him. She wanted to know him, to possibly know enough to make herself fall in love with him, and even though she had never experienced that with anyone, she was sure her feelings were headed towards love, if that was even possible for her.

"Because, we have been sleeping together for over a month. This isn't a one-night stand anymore. It could possibly be a relationship." Meredith answered, asking herself if they were in a relationship or not.

"You guys don't even know if you're in a relationship? Wow, that's nice. Sex and no talking." Christina told her, not helping Meredith at all.

"Thanks for your help Christina." Meredith said bored with her friend now. She stood up with her empty tray and threw it out, exiting the cafeteria and returning back to work.

-----------------------------

Meredith had scrubbed in with Derek on a rock climber who had paralysis and even though Meredith disagreed with Derek cutting into the man's spine without really knowing there was a clot on the spine, once she was in the surgery she was amazed by actually being able to operate and see a real spine in front of her.

They were now both scrubbing out of the surgery next to each other and Meredith couldn't get over the surgery.

"That was amazing!" Meredith declared as she continued to scrub her hands.

Derek glanced over at her and nodded in approval.

"Sorry I disagreed with you, you had good instincts." She praised him, as if he didn't already have a big enough ego.

"You know, some people would call this a relationship." He told her as he leaned against the sink and dried his hands.

Meredith taken back by the subject change took her time to register her thoughts before responding. "Well, how can it be a relationship when I know nothing about you?" she asked. He had actually brought up the conversation she had been debating all day through her mind.

"You want to know more about me?" he asked her with a twinkle in his eye.

"Yes, I do. Don't you want to know more about me?" Meredith asked. She knew that would be hard to do, to actually open up to someone, but if he opened up to her, she could try to do the same.

"I do." He nodded in agreement.

"Okay then." She said with a smile.

"Meet me in the lobby after your shift, I have somewhere I want to take you." He told her before heading off to inform the rock climbers family on the surgery.

--------------------------------

Meredith returned to the Intern locker room and showered quickly before dressing. She had always showered before dressing into her day clothes, rinsing off the many germs her skin had more then likely picked up from her many patients.

Saying a goodnight to her fellow interns before heading out the doors she quickly made it to the lobby. She was running a bit late, but she tried to make up for it by her quick pace down the many hallways.

As soon as she stepped off the elevator her eyes automatically drifted towards Derek, and she saw him looking at her as well. It seemed as if they had a magnetic pull to the other, always being able to detect when the other was in the room.

"Hey, sorry I'm late." She said with an apologetic smile.

"It's ok, ready to go?" he asked with a hint of nervousness in his tone.

He was nervous to share his life story with her. He knew this time would come. Time to tell the truth, to share with her the reason for moving to Seattle and taking the job at Seattle Grace. He knew it would come, yet he was nervous for how she would respond. He knew she wouldn't be happy. And that scared him. He had begun to fall for her the moment he met her eyes in Joe's bar the first night. She was stunningly beautiful, had a warm heart, a great surgeon, and her laugh could bring a rush of so many feelings to his heart he never knew he could feel.

He didn't want to tell her, but he knew he had to.
