MISSING YOU
- THE RAIN ISN'T THE ONLY THING THAT REMINDS ADDISON OF SEATTLE -
It is another usual morning at the Oceanside Wellness Group, except for the fact that it is raining. Sam and Naomi stand in front of the elevator. Naomi is hugging her daughter, who will spend some days at her dad's place. Naomi is clearly not really comfortable with that. The elevator doors open and Addison's walking into the hall, completely soaked.
"It's raining" Addison mentions.
"You're wet" Sam comments.
"Because it is raining!"
Addison walks to Dell's domain, while Sam and Maya step into the elevator and leave. Naomi comes up behind Addison.
"It rains in Seattle where I left my umbrella." Addison says annoyingly. "It does not rain in Los Angeles!"
"It rains in LA." Dell answers. "It's raining right now."
"Really? Right now?"
Cooper and Violet also show up at admittance desk.
"Maya's staying at Sam's. For the whole week she's asked to stay at Sam's." Naomi tells them.
"She's growing up." Cooper comments.
"I hate her." Naomi responds.
"Are we gonna do the morning meeting?" Violet asks.
"Well, Sam's gonna be late..." Naomi answers.
"Where's Pete?" Cooper wants to know.
"He's running an errand."
Dell puts a chocolate cake on the desk.
"Is that a chocolate cake?" Naomi asks hopefully.
"Yeah. I made it, but you can have some if you want." Dell answers.
"Addison, you want to have some chocolate cake?" Naomi tries to make Addison feel better.
"Can I talk to you?" Addison asks.
Addison enters Naomi's office, followed by Naomi herself. Naomi closes the door.
"I think Maya likes Sam better than me. I think he wins." Naomi complains.
"Where are the beautiful people running in slow motion on the beach?" Addison asks.
"What?" Naomi sits down on her sofa.
"This is LA. LA's supposed to be full of swimming pools and movie stars. LA is the place you lured me to with your champagne wishes and caviar dreams."
"Okay. First of all, you need to start watching more current TV and second of all, it's just a little rain. It will pass."
"It's not about the rain. I mean, it is about the rain, but I would be fine with the rain if everything else was just a little more..."
"What?"
"I had this whole dream about moving here. That it would be better, special. That I would be... I don't fit here. I'm a surgeon. I think like a scientist."
"There's science to this. Dig in, make friends. Learn to play well with others."
"It's raining"
"Not to get all Pete's in on you, but it's raining everywhere."
Around lunchtime
A guy comes out of the elevator and goes to Dell's desk.
"Can I help you?" Dell asks.
"I'm looking for Addison Montgomery." The guy answers.
"Sure, I'll go find her."
Dell walks to Addison's office. She's doing some paperwork, since she doesn't have much else to do. No patients for Addison today.
"Addison? There's someone waiting for you at the desk." Dell tells her as he opens her door.
"Who is it?" She asks.
"I'm sorry, didn't ask for his name."
"His? Since when do I get male patients?"
"I guess he might not be a patient then."
"Tell him I'll be right there."
Dell walks back to his desk.
"She's be right here." Dell says. "You could wait over there, if you want." He point to some chairs.
"Thanks."
About five minutes later Addison comes out of her office and walks to Dell's desk.
"I thought you said there was someone waiting for me." She says to Dell.
"Addison?" She then hears a very familiar voice.
She turns around and sees...
Author's Note: So who are you guessing it is. Probably someone very familiar. Is it Derek? Mark? Or would Alex go after her. Read next chapter.
