I'm at Derek's family's house. He's cooking for them again and I'm sat in the living room with his sisters and mom.
"No kath, she used to go out with Johnny.. that's his brother" I say. We're looking at pictures of people we used to know. "Oh" she says.
Derek sits next to me. I look at him. "Are you okay?" He asks. "Yeah, are you?" I smile. "I'm great" he kisses my lips.
His mom goes into the kitchen. He kisses me again harder. I close my eyes, putting my hands on his cheeks.
"What does everyone want to drink?" His mom walks back in. He pulls away again. I giggle, sitting back against the couch
"Wine, meredith?" She asks. "Yes please" I say. "I'll have a glass too please" Derek says. She goes back into the kitchen.
He leans in again. I close my eyes as our lips brush together. I put my hand on his chest. We're about to kiss but get interrupted. "Mer" Kathleen says. I look at her.
He sighs. "Sorry" I chuckle, looking back at him. I look at her again. She gives me a look. "Fine" I sigh. She doesn't want derek here anymore.
"Me and kath are gonna go upstairs.. can you call us down when dinners ready?" I look at him. "Sure" he says. I kiss him softly.
"Sorry" I whisper. He took me here as his date and now I can't even sit with him. "Its okay" he says. I follow her upstairs to her room.
"Try it on" she throws a dress at me. "Fine" I say. I turn around. "Where are you going?" She asks. "The bathroom" I say. "Don't be stupid, just do it here" she says.
"I- okay" I say. I pull off my dress. I'm wearing my black lacy set. I put it on for derek for later. "Where's that set from?" She asks. "Victoria secret.. I got it for free though when I modeled for them" I say.
Derek walks in. "Dinner-" he stops as he sees me. "Woah" he scans my body. "Get out.. I'm getting changed" I giggle, pushing him out. "You're flashing my sister" he says. "She's fine" I say.
I put the dress on. "Do you like this? Kathleen gave it to me" I spin around. It's not her colour apparently but she said it would look nice on me.
"Yeah, you look beautiful" he says. I smile, looking into his eyes. He kisses me softly.
"Thankyou kath" I hug her. "You're welcome" she says. I pull away. "Dinners ready" he says. "One sec" I pull the dress back off.
"I thought you said you liked it?" Kathleen says. "It doesn't-" I stop as derek starts talking. "It doesn't match her shoes" Derek says. I look at him shocked that he knows that. He smiles.
"I've been hanging around you too much" he says. I giggle. I put my other dress back on.
Kathleen walks out first. I follow after her. "You look so sexy in black" he whispers, pinching my ass. I hit his hand. "You'll get a better look later if you're lucky" I grin.
I hear Kathleen scoff. She walks downstairs. I stop, holding dereks hand. We stop at the top of the stairs, looking at eachother.
"What?" He asks. "Why is Kathleen being weird about me seeing you?" I ask. "I have no idea" he says. "Do you think she secretly hates me? Do you two not get along? I don't understand what the problem is" I say.
"I don't know either, mer" he says. "She keeps trying to pull me away from you all the time.. I think shes trying to get me to stop dating you" I whisper.
"Well you're not going to, are you?" He asks. I shake my head. "So, who cares?" He shrugs "right" I sigh. I follow him downstairs.
We go to the dining room. "Kath, can mer sit there please? So we can sit together?" He asks. "Really?" She sighs. "Yes" he says. She moves to another seat.
Me and derek sit down next to eachother. I give him a look. "Its fine, meredith" he whispers.
"I don't want her to be mad at me" I whisper. "You're not doing anything wrong though.. I'm sure she just feels awkward" he whispers. "Maybe" I say.
"The kissing probably isn't helping" I whisper as he leans closer. "It helps me" he kisses me. I giggle against his lips. I kiss him again.
I pull away as my phone starts ringing. "Sorry, it's work" I stand up, answering it.
I go back to the table after the call and sit down. "You okay?" He asks. "Yeah, I have another photoshoot next week" I say.
"Oh, that's good" he smiles. "Yeah.. but it's in london" I look at him. "Oh" he says. "And I'm gonna be there for three months.. because its actually three different magazines that want me" I say.
"Meredith, that's great" he hugs me. "We haven't even been dating for three months.. and you're okay with three months apart? Is that normal for new relationships?" I ask.
"I can come over to see you" he says. "Really? How?" I ask. "Have I not shown you our private jet yet?" He asks. "You have a private jet?" I look at him shocked. "Yeah" he says.
"Can you take me to London too.. save me buying the tickets?" I ask. "Yes of course I can.. do you want me to come with you or are you okay flying alone?" He asks. "Come with me" I say. "Okay" he says.
"Thankyou" I hug him. "That's alright" he smiles. "Honey, is derek your first boyfriend?" Carol asks. "Is it that obvious?" I giggle. She smiles.
"That's sweet, isn't it?" She looks at derek. "she could've been a lesbian before she met me and I still wouldn't care" he shrugs. She scoffs, hitting his arm. I laugh.
"I wasn't" I say. "No?" He looks at me. I grin. "Shut up" I say. "I've never been to London before" I say. "Are you excited?" He asks. I nod.
"Are you working a lot in that three months?" I ask. "Not if I don't want to.. I can take time off whenever I want" he says. "So will you stay with me a lot?" I ask. "As long as you want" he says. "Good" I smile. We start eating.
