I go back to the kitchen. "Mom's coming down" I smile at amelia. She smiles hugely at me. "How did you do that?" She asks. I shrug, grinning.
"I'm sorry, I know it's totally lame to meet a guys mom on a second date but-" I say. "No, thats not lame at all" she smiles. I smile at her.
She hops off of the counter. We go to the living room and I sit next to her on the couch. Kathleen sits the other side.
"Do I look okay?" She asks. "Are you nervous?" I chuckle. "I've never met a guys mom before.. definitely not on a second date" she says. I smile.
"You look pretty" Kathleen says. "Yeah?" Meredith asks. "Y-yeah" she nods. "I agree.. you look gorgeous" I say. She smiles brightly at me.
My Mom walks in. "Hi" she says. "Mom this is meredith.. meredith this is my mom" we both stand up. "Hi" meredith says. I smile as my mom hugs her.
We all sit around the living room and talk. I look at meredith as my mom talks to my sisters. "Are you sure this is okay? It's not too much.. meeting my family? Well, the rest of my family" I ask. "No, its not too much" she smiles. I smile, looking into her eyes.
"Derek" amelia walks in. "Is it done?" I stand up. "I think so" she says. I go to the kitchen. Me and amelia plate up the food. We put it on the table after setting it up.
"Foods ready" I walk into the living room. Everyone stands up. Meredith walks over to me. I put my hand on the small of her back. "Are you religious?" I whisper. "No" she shakes her head.
"My mom likes to say grace.. is that okay?" I whisper. "Yes of course" she smiles, nodding. We sit at the table. She sits next to me. We hold hands as my mom says grace.
"I didn't know you were religious" she looks at me. "I'm not.. my mom is, Nancy is and liz is but I'm not" I say. "So.. why do you say grace?" She giggles. "It makes my mom happy" I shrug. She smiles wider. I smile back at her.
I look down as I realise we're still holding hands. She pulls her hand away slowly, smiling at me. I grin slightly. She giggles.
We start eating. "Oh my god" she says. I look at her. "That's amazing" she says. I grin again. "Yeah, you like it?" I ask. "I do" she says.
Everyone starts talking again. I put my hand on her thigh under the table. I feel her tense up slightly. She keeps eating. She crosses one of her legs over the other. I think I'm making her uncomfortable.
I pull my hand away. I continue eating. She holds my hand, pulling it back onto her thigh. I smile. She grins slightly but doesn't look at me.
"Try this" I hold some food to her lips. She eats it. "Careful" I chuckle as it drops out of her mouth. She giggles. I put it back in her mouth. We both laugh.
"That's good" she says. "Is it?" I look down at her lips. "Yep" she giggles. "So, meredith" Kathleen says. I sit up straight as she looks away at Kathleen.
"How's work going?" She asks. "Its going really well" meredith says. "I saw some of your work online.. its good" she says. "Really good" I smirk slightly. She giggles, looking at me.
"Do you have a job, Kathy?" She asks. "No, I'm in college" she says. "What are you studying?" Meredith asks. "Psychology" she says.
"Do you not work at the company?" Meredith asks. "The only one of my sisters who really wants to join is amy" Derek says. "That's cool" she looks at amelia. She smiles.
After dinner we say bye to them before leaving. I drive her back to her house. "Hey meredith" I hold her hand as we walk to her door. She turns around.
"I have a day off work next week" I say. "Oh, do you?" She smiles. "You wanna maybe get dinner?" I ask. "That would be great" she says. "Okay" I smile. "Okay" she grins.
I pull my hand away from hers slowly. "I had an amazing time tonight.. thankyou for dinner" she says. "You're welcome" I say.
"Goodnight meredith" I say. "Night" she smiles. I walk away. I hear her front door open and close again behind me.
"Derek" she says. I turn around. She runs towards me. I smile, putting my hands on her waist as she puts hers on my cheeks, her body pressed against mine as she kisses me.
Her lips feel so soft. They feel so good against mine. I run my hands down her sides to just above her butt, pulling her closer.
She pulls away quickly, gasping quietly as the living room light turns on and we see it through the window just next to us. The blinds are closed but they're white so a bit see through. "My parents.. you have to go" she whispers.
"Bye" I say. "Bye" she smiles before running inside. I smile hugely, shaking my head. Her parents didn't see us so it's fine. I get in my car and drive home.
