"What do you think of mistletoe?" Addison asked lively as she pulled off her jacket. "Naomi?" "Earth to Naomi!" She looked up lost in thought. "Oh...yeah...mistletoe, just what this office needs…more kissing...not that anyone's doing that...around here I mean" she said hesitantly.
Addison looked at her dumbfounded before smirking. "The sex must be amazing" she laughed just as they walked out of the elevator. "Addison..."Naomi stopped as they neared the reception desk. Dell, whom hadn't noticed their presence, was busily working on a crossword puzzle.
Addison looked at Naomi "Forget something?" "Uh...yes...it's my car" "What's in your car?" "It" Naomi said quickly going back into the elevator. Addison shook her head; they would definitely have to discuss this "Un Naomi like" behavior. "Dell do you have those reports I gave you?" she asked walking up. Dell jumped. "Reports?"
"Yes on the children's hospital, what is up with you today…or anyone?" "Have you seen Naomi?" he asked oblivious to her. Addison groaned, but before she could argue, Pete, Sam, and Cooper arrived. Pete looked rather smug about something, while Sam gave Dell a glare before heading straight to his office. Cooper smiled walking up to Addison, whistling "We Wish You A Merry Christmas".
Dell immediately started passing him his files. "It's a beautiful day" Cooper grinned patting Addison on the back before retreating into the eating area. "Somebody's having good sex" Pete attempted a light hearted voice. "Who...Sam and Naomi?" Dell said in an angry voice.
Dell then handed Addison's reports to her quickly before disappearing to the back room. "What the..." Pete started. Addison only shook her head. "I'm not even about to contemplate what just went through my mind" she shook her head. Pete then turned to her, "Addison...can we talk" his voice serious. "What's wrong…" she looked into his eyes.
"I...think…well…I believe...that…he sighed. Addison frowned. "Yes...what is it Pete?" He then put a hand on her cheek. "I believe I have mistletoe" he forced a grin, holding it up and kissing her cheek gently, before joining Cooper.
PRIVATE PRACTICE
"Alright guys it's that time again" Addison grinned. She had forced everyone into the meeting room. "Again? You just got here a couple of months ago" Violet smirked, sipping on her coffee. "I meant Christmas, this year were going to be having…..a Secret Santa program!" The room went silent. "What are we 12?" Sam grinned. "I'm sure Dell would enjoy it though" Naomi whom was quiet the whole time felt a blush on her cheeks. Dell only grinned "I'm all for it…" his gaze on Naomi. "Addison I think your idea is awesome" Cooper smiled brightly "Since when have you said awesome" Violet said frowning. "Since now...and since its Christmas" Cooper said defiantly. "Yeah, sure...I have patients to tend to" Naomi said standing up quickly rushing out of the room.
"And I forgot to set up the exam room" Dell said casually walking out. "Naomi!" Dell walked after her. "Dell…I can't...I just can't" Naomi sighed, flashbacks of last night playing in her mind. He finally caught up to her. "I meant every single word...I haven't stopped thinking about you…I can't...its impossible" he said softly.
"Dell stop…" she shook her head going into her office, Dell followed close behind closing the door. "What are you going to do, corner me like you did last night" her voice hesitant. "Naomi…" "Don't Naomi me Dell!" "I have shown you nothing but compassion, respect…our friendship meant alot to me.
"Our friendship...Naomi...we never had a friendship" Dell said frustrated as he got very close to her. "I've loved you every since I've laid eyes on you…" he then backed off. "I won't give up on you...if that's what you want…I want you Naomi Bennett."
He touched her cheek softly before backing away more leaving her alone in the office. She let out the breath she'd been holding, her heart racing slightly as she sat down, contemplating what was happening. Suddenly the door opened and Sam appeared.
"I grabbed you a secret Santa" he forced a smile. "Oh...right" she nodded taking the slip of paper he gave her. Sam then grabbed her gently pressing his lips against hers; Naomi was surprised but replied quickly. Her hands roaming his body, they kissed passionately before she pulled away. "Wow..." she gasped gently. Sam grinned. "I'm not afraid anymore Naomi…know that" he then slipped from her office.
"I can't believe it" Addison smirked. "Can't believe what?"Violet asked grabbing a yogurt from the fridge. "Pete's jealous...of cop guy" she grinned. "Cooper's not telling me something" she sighed."I mean I'm his best friend…that gives me privileges"
"Violet as much as I'd love to hear you grumble about Cooper, I still need to figure out this Pete thing" "He'll get over it" Violet nodded. "Get over what?
Naomi entered. "Addison's thinks that Pete's jealous" Violet smiled. "Of cop guy" Naomi smirked. "Yeah he's acting all weird…mentioning weird…how are things with Sam?" "They're fine" she said quickly. "Touche" Addison grinned. "Look, we have a practice to run...can we leave the relationship talk alone for one day please" she said aggravated.
Violet and Addison looked at each other. "The sex is horrible isn't it" Addison suggested. "No of course not..." Naomi retaliated; she said grabbing some grapes from the counter. "I heard about what happened last night" Violet grinned. Naomi started coughing uncontrollably. "You alright there Nay" "Uh...yeah...what happened last night" "Cop guy...I...went there and asked him out..." Addison grinned "And?" Violet and Naomi said in unison. "Friday night at 8" she grinned. "Well well look at you" Naomi grinned. "Yeah, I'm just that good" she smirked. "Well as happy as I am for you, time for me to get to the children's hospital" Naomi nodded.
"I'm helping with the Children's Dream Christmas benefit" she smiled picking up her briefcase. "Have fun!" Addison shouted at her as she left. "I should talk to Pete" Addison said thinking. "Oh let it settle, he'll be fine" Violet said walking out to meet her patient. Addison sighed opening her secret Santa, which in bright letters read "Pete"
