Surprise, surprise… Here I am with something new. I thought I would bring my Falling & Flying to an end before starting this, but this morning I was really inspired. So here we go!
This is an experiment. I'll post the first chapter, then I'm going to see your reaction. If they're good like I'm expecting, I will move on. I have great plans for this, I've always loved Meredith and Addison and I really think they would make a great pair together.
The chapter starts with two different points of view, Mer's and Addie's, than will move on mostly with an omniscient narrator like I usually do.
So, thank you to my amazing friend merder32 because she pushed me to try this, and to CileSun92, my beta for this story.
It's a little shorter than usual, but don't worry – if you like it, you'll have even longer chapters.
I hope you'll enjoy and please, leave me a review!

Running on Sunshine – Prologue
Girl you got me tripping on sunshine
God knows you just made my day
Since you came around, I just can't slow down, no
I wanna see you walk in my way, yeah –
Emerald City Bar - Mer
Meredith Grey sipped lazily her frozen strawberry margarita looking absently at the basketball game the TV was showing.
The name of the place was Emerald City Bar – incredibly close to the hospital she was going to work at the next day and the place she was living.
She had moved back to Seattle, the city where she was born, the week before, after her childhood and her internship and residency at Boston Mass General. She was living in the same house she lived when she was a baby, even if it was exaggeratedly big for just a person. This was one of her concern, that night: she needed to find roommates. Even if just for the first months, the time to gain the effort to move. She doubt she will be in need of money after she'll see her salary as Head of Neurosurgery at Seattle Grace Hospital. Maybe even her mother will be proud. She chuckled sipping more margarita.
Her mother had never been proud of her. Meek, quiet Meredith had never been enough for the great Ellis Grey. And since her father had left her when she was five to build himself a whole new family, Meredith was slightly convinced she was not enough for anyone.
Things seems to be close to a change: Richard Webber, her mother's best friend, had offered her an entire department – so much for not be enough! Plus, months ago she had met, in a conference at Harvard, Alexandra Caroline Grey – Lexie. Her sister. Despite her initial hesitancy she had agreed to have lunch with her and Susan, her step-mother, under one condition – their father had to stay out of this.
Lexie and Susan were extremely nice and sweet. Susan actually lived in Seattle – Meredith had found her mother's house perfectly clean and comfortable, the refrigerator full of groceries, fresh flowers on the kitchen counter and a note, Welcome home, sweetheart. And Lexie was going to start her internship at Seattle Grace Hospital the day after, and she was completely enamored with her amazing sister, already head of a department at only twenty-seven years old.
Meredith was almost persuade to think that her life would will be better, in Seattle.
Somewhere between Seattle Grace Hospital and Emerald City Bar - Addie
Addison Forbes Montgomery was a goddess and she was perfectly aware of that.
Even then, walking across the small distance between the hospital and the bar in her high-heels, she managed to look completely amazing even under a light and frustrating rain.
In Seattle was always raining. She had been living there for something like forty-eight hours and this was the first thing she had discovered about the city.
Addison had just signed a contract: she was now Head of the Neonatal department at Seattle Grace Hospital. In other words, every OB/GYN in the place was under her control. No need to mention the neonatal surgeons: they were less than ten in the US so she doubted Seattle Grace owned another one, apart of her.
She needed a salad, a beer and possibly even a place to sleep. She was tired of the Archfield Hotel already. Her mother would probably kill her if she heard this, but anyway. Addison was tired of her high-mannered life. She was tired of living in New York City, tired of weekends in her hometown in Connecticut, even tired to walk across the world in high-heels and brand new clothes. After Sam, after picking up her destroyed heart from the floor, she wanted a home. And comfort. And… a cashmere sweater.
Now, she wanted a salad and a beer.
She slipped on a stool and let her eyes roam around. It was a nice place, intimate, almost homey. A TV showing a basketball game, guys playing darts in a corner. She was definitely going to come back here. Maybe with some colleagues, after a shift. She was in desperate need for friends and…
Oh.
She spotted a girl sitting alone, just like herself, at the other end of the counter, chatting with the bartender probably about the game.
It was strange for Addison to find herself feeling attraction for a girl, but this one was beyond gorgeous. Blonde and petite, with a slim figure, but a well-designed waist and butt, and full breasts. She was wearing a short, red dress which hugged perfectly every curve, and flat black boots. Even if it didn't look like she was tall, her legs were long and perfectly toned. And her face – oh boy. Creamy skin, full lips, perfectly white teeth. Big eyes, even thought Addison couldn't guess their color, and honey hair pulled back in a bun at the nape of her neck.
Seattle is ruining me.
"Hello," Addison said with her charming voice, sitting down next to Meredith.
Meredith turned at the voice and found a stunningly beautiful redhead woman. She was wearing a jacket and a tank top probably more expensive than her whole house, and she had big blue eyes.
"Hey," she greeted back, smiling to the stunning woman.
"I'm Addison," she said, offering her hand for the blonde to shake. "Addison Forbes Montgomery."
"Meredith Grey. Nice to meet you."
The names sounded familiar to both of them.
"Do you live here?" Addison asked, trying to make a decent conversation. But Meredith – great name, it suited her perfectly – had the habit of bite her lips and Addison found it difficult to concentrate. Her lips were full like a strawberry, and her eyes were sparking and green. Emerald.
"Going to, apparently," Meredith explained. "I was born here, but I spent most of my life back in Boston. Anyway, tomorrow I'll start a new job here". Meredith wasn't exactly a chatty person – she was trying to let herself open up a little since Lexie started text her ten times a day and Susan called her constantly. Also, this girl was strangely easy to talk to. Something about her drew Meredith in.
"Same story," Addison commented with another breathtaking smile. "I arrived two days ago from New York, I was offered a place at Seattle Grace Hospital. I just signed my contract."
"Gosh," Meredith laughed. "The world is small, indeed. Are you a doctor?" But before Addison could answer, she put two and two together. "Oh, yes! Addison Montgomery – you're the neonatal rockstar!"
"A rockstar," Addison tested the term on her lips and giggled. "Well, I do my best. And you can't possibly be related to Ellis Grey, can you?"
"Mommy dearest," Meredith explained sarcastically, drinking a generous sip of her margarita, emptying the glass.
"Can I buy you another one?" Addison asked. When Meredith nodded, she added: "So, which field?"
"Neurosurgery. Head of the department."
"You're officially the first person I'm meeting in Seattle, I just hope everyone will be like you," Addison said, leaning closer to Meredith.
Was she hitting on her? Meredith was completely clueless about it. She could barely tell if a man was hitting on her, she had no experiences with women. Honestly, she just had one experience with a man – she had fell for him and he had left her. Plain and simple as that. Maybe it wasn't her who was not enough, maybe men were biologically engineered to leave.
So, if men weren't exactly her cup of tea, and if peeking at the woman's really great décolletage was sending waves straight to her core…
Oh, gosh. She was a mess. She felt like she was fifteen all over again.
"… So I just need a place to live," Addison finished.
Meredith hadn't exactly heard everything – she had been distracted by her breasts – but she blurted out: "I'm searching for roomies." She offered a smile. "I have a big place and I can't possibly live there alone. Two floors, big kitchen, living room, tons of bedrooms and three bathrooms. Oh, and a front porch, too."
"It could be fun in the summer," Addison dreamed. "Seems like a great place."
"Are you an easy person to live with?"
"Well, I work, and I sleep. I eat almost everything, even if sometimes I crave chocolate. In the free nights I love to relax with a glass of wine. And I have tons and tons of shoes. But if I'll have a room I can try to cram them in."
Meredith laughed. "I can see us living together," she declared. "I'm a mess, anyway. I have a crazy intern for a sister who would probably run to my bed in the middle of the night or will decide to crash on our couch sometimes; I drink way too much tequila; in the morning I'm incapable of speaking until I drink my coffee, and I love loud music to dance it out. Apart from this, we can make it work. Do you cook?"
"Yes. I'm not a genius, but I don't starve"
"Are you willing to feed me?"
"In every possible way," Addison confessed, and they both blushed. And then decided to risk everything: "I wanna kiss you, even if with us living and working together probably is not the smartest move."
Maybe her fourth beer had been a little too much.
"I'm almost drunk," Meredith stated. "What we do when we're drunk doesn't count."
Addison didn't need anything else. She leaned closer, her hands flying to Meredith's hair, while Meredith's arms wrapped around Addison's waist. Her body was slender but full and she completely loved the feeling of having it under her hands.
They lips met – timidly, tentatively. They savored each other, Addison gently asked for permission with her tongue while Meredith bit gently on her bottom lip. She opened her mouth to the redhead, kissing her with passion.
What had happened? She was a girl. And Addison was a girl. And she had never ever kissed a girl before. But this kiss was mind-blowing – this kiss was heaven. Kissing men had ever been so magical.
They leaned back a little, searching for the other's gaze. When Meredith smiled, Addison drew her in for another kiss.
When they heard whistles and horny male comments, they pulled back laughing softly.
"Do you wanna see the house?" Meredith asked, losing herself in Addison's blue eyes.
Ellis' old house
They crashed on the couch, their mouths ravishing each other.
"We shouldn't," Meredith stated, her small, elegant hands searching frantically under Addison's top. Her jacket was lost somewhere in the house already.
"I know," Addison breathed, her lips kissing Meredith's collarbone as her hands sneaking under her dress, exploring her perfect legs.
"Jesus," Meredith complained, tossing away Addison's tank top.
She admired the perfect torso, and the great breasts held in place with a black lace bra. She was more turned on than ever. And then she remembered: she had a red strapless bra and probably a mismatched thong. She had not planned on bringing anyone home.
"I've never had sex with a woman before," Meredith confessed in a moment of hesitation, blue drowning in green.
"Neither have I," Addison said, searching for Meredith's hand. "How do you feel about trying it out together? I really, really want you."
"I want you too."
Addison stood up, picking up Meredith's lithe body with her, who immediately wrapped her legs around her waist, kissing her neck.
Addison climbed the stairs quickly, and Meredith directed her to her bedroom, their lips almost never leaving each other.
They fell on the bed, the comfort of the soft blankets immediately enveloping them.
"The bras have to go," Meredith ordered, searching behind Addison's back for the hook. Addison tossed away her dress, immediately stopping to admire Meredith's amazing body.
"You are a goddess," she complimented, shifting the cup of Meredith's bra away with her lips.
"I'm sorry for the underwear," Meredith tried to say, but when Addison's lips found her nipple, her sentence turned into a loud moan.
It took them five seconds to be naked together, in each other's arms, Meredith's green pools full of confusion.
"Mer, if –"
"No, I'm ok," Meredith immediately said, her hand caressing Addison's tight.
The redhead sighed. "Stop being a tease…"
"I'm not being a tease," Meredith grinned. "I just don't know how we ended up like this. I'm not an impulsive person."
Addison shut her with a deep, wet kiss. "Please, I just… I can't think about anything else than your lips on me. Can we talk tomorrow?"
Proudly grinning to herself, Meredith pinned Addison's hand on the side of her head by her wrists, and immediately brought her lips to her core.
Addison moaned in anticipation.
"Oh God," she breathed, and Meredith let herself go and gently began to lick her.
It was a strange sensation and a little awkward at first, maybe, but the increasing juice between her own legs, the redhead's ecstatic moans and the sight of her breasts almost brought her to the edge.
She easily brought Addison to orgasm – it left her shocked and strangely happy, but immediately the redhead climbed on her lap, pinning her to the mattress. She gave Meredith's breasts full attention, sucking and licking her nipples, then kissed her way back toward her abdomen.
The first time Addison's lips made contact with her core, she gasped. It was completely different from anything she had ever done with Finn. She had gotten oral before, obviously, but no one had ever touched her with Addison's sweetness, no one had ever searched for her hand while erotically blowing on her clit.
It was over way too soon, and she just wished to start it all over again.
They embraced in the big bed, Meredith's legs wrapped around Addison.
"I wanna do it again," the blonde breathed on Addison's neck. "It was… God."
Addison didn't say anything, she just searched for Meredith's lips and kissed her sweetly and passionately.
The fire burned all over again, and they made love, learning each other's ways to pleasure until the first lights of dawn.
Let me hear your voices ;)
