I just wanted to say a couple of things before you read. One, i wrote this fic almost a year ago. Two, i was never going to post it here, I just wrote it to pass the time when i was bored. Three, I don't really know why i'm posting it now. I chalk it up to the fact that i have been MIA from this site for months and i feel guilty about not writing anything new. Anyway, sorry if it sucks but i wanted to give all the addex fans out there something to tide you over while i'm working on a new fic.

Disclaimer: None of the character are mine, i'm just borrowing them.


Chapter 1

"What are you doing hiding out here?"

Addison spun around to see who had spoken to her; she had been so lost in thought she hadn't heard anyone approach. She relaxed when she saw Callie smiling at her.

"I'm not hiding; I'm just not going out of my way to be sociable." Addison replied as she finished her drink in one gulp. She could feel her lips tingling which was a sure sign that she would soon be drunk.

"Yeah well, do you mind if I be anti-social with you?"

"By all means, join me in the land of depression," Addison said. She made a grab for the half empty bottle of vodka beside her on the steps and poured herself another generous measure.

"Are you drinking that stuff neat?"

"Uh huh, I didn't have time to grab something to mix it with. I was just raiding the kitchen when Derek came in with his lips glued to Meredith. I've seen enough of that to last me a life time."

"I know what you mean. Do you know I actually pushed past them to get out here and neither of them even came up for air? They were practically humping against the kitchen counter." There was a pause while Callie took a drink from her own glass. "Why are we even here?"

"I've been asking myself that same question all night. At least you sort of have a reason, I mean technically you're here with George. Why the hell am I here? I'm not here with a guy; in fact I think most of the men here hate me because I'm Satan. There's my ex-husband, my ex-booty call and my ex-intern."

Callie opened her mouth to speak but Addison wasn't done with her rant. It was at times like this she realised that alcohol wasn't her friend, she could hear herself speaking but she wasn't aware of making the decision to open her mouth and talk.

"…now he's told me to stop avoiding him and that he wants in on my surgeries. So I guess he's still my intern, but nothing more than that. No sir. He made it perfectly…crystal…impossible to mistake his meaning…clear that he's not interested in anything more." Addison stopped to take a deep breath. "You have to tell me to shut up when I ramble like this."

"Now why would I do that? You know I love it when you talk about you," Callie said sarcastically, rolling her eyes. She laughed thinking that sober Addison was bad enough, but drunk Addison was on a whole different level.

"Really? Oh well I could tell you what happened in the supply closet. Wait - did I already tell you that?" Addison looked at Callie in confusion.

"Clearly the alcohol has affected your ability to detect sarcasm. Go ahead; why not tell me about the supply closet, I don't think anything I say would shut you up anyway." Callie couldn't help but giggle at the sight of her friend struggling to get the top off the bottle of vodka.

"Well it all started the night in Joes, well I mean really started because that was the first time we kissed. But I guess it kind of started before that, maybe that day when we almost kissed…no before that…maybe when I told Alex that I didn't want Mark to beat the good out of him. Yep, that was when it started - " Addison babbled.

"Wait, you almost kissed before? And since when have you been calling him Alex? Next thing he'll be calling you Addie," Callie teased.

Addison snorted and laughed drunkenly.

"Right, any day now he's going declare his undying love for me and sweep me off my feet. Then maybe we'll go back to my hotel room and…"

"Please don't finish that sentence, I'm not quite drunk enough to hear what Karev related fantasies your perverted mind has come up with." Callie laughed.

"Hmpf, my mind isn't half as perverted as yours," Addison huffed as she poured herself some more vodka before refilling Callie's glass as well.

"Thanks," Callie said. They both jumped when they heard a particularly loud crash coming from the house behind them. "Sound's like we're missing a good party in there."

"Yeah, Meredith Grey's birthday party is the calendar event of the year. To be honest I don't even want to be here. Why am I here? Now I know we've had this conversation befo - " Addison stopped talking mid word when she heard the door open behind her.

She spun around quickly and lost her balance on the steps, slipping sideways and falling to land in a heap on the garden 5 steps below.

"Ouch," She said before erupting in to a fit of drunken giggles. "I need a doctor, where can I find one of those at this time of night?"

Alex who had just stepped out on to the back porch rushed down the steps to see if she was ok. Callie stumbled after him and fell to her knees beside Addison.

"Dr.Montgom…Addison? Are you alright? Does anything hurt?" Alex questioned as he felt her head for any signs of bumps or bleeding.

"I banged my head, and my ankle hurts." Addison mumbled. She turned her head to face Alex and smiled at the concern on his face. "Mmm you smell good," She whispered.

"How much has she had to drink?" Alex questioned Callie, while trying to examine Addison's ankle. She was making it more difficult by trying to hold his hand instead of letting him examine her.

"Does the almost empty bottle of vodka not speak for itself, Karev?" Callie said. She stood up suddenly, clutching her stomach. "I think I'm gonna be sick."

Callie rushed back up the steps and inside the house with a hand covering her mouth.

"Looks like it's just you and me then, Dr.Montgomery," Alex sighed, glancing down at the woman who had almost managed to work her way on to his lap.

"Addison." She said firmly. "My name is Addison."

"I know it is."

"Then why don't you use it." She pouted.

"Fine then, Addison." Alex struggled to keep his cool while she was squirming around in his lap and making the most adorable pout he had ever seen.

Addison shivered as she felt the damp from the grass beneath her seeping in to her clothes.

"We need to get you inside. Can you walk?" Alex asked.

Addison tried to stand up but she stumbled and would have fallen to the ground again if Alex hadn't put out a hand to stop her.

"OK, I guess not. Time for plan B then," He muttered to himself. He stood up then scooped her up in to his arms, putting one arm under her legs and the other around her back.

She automatically put her arms around his neck and snuggled her head in to the crook of his neck.

Alex carefully made his way up the steps and carried her back in to the house.


There you have it. That was chapter 1 and there's another 2 chapters to go. I'll get them uploaded asap but i'll have to read through them first because to be honest i can't remember what happens myself.
