„Hey honey, good morning", Ashley yawned at her while trying to ge her messy hair in a tight bun. That didn't went quite well, but Addison thought it looked incredibly cute. Wait, what was that?, she frowned at herself.
„You wanna have a coffee?", Ashley asked as she put some bread in the toaster and got some butter from the fridge.
„Yeah, I don't think I'll be able to look reasonably acceptable without some", Addison answered while looking down at her big grey shirt and boxers.
„Well, you could just go as the hot mess you are right now...", Ashley winked while turning the coffe machine on.
Addison couln't help but blush, but tried to hide it from the other women who was busy making some bacon.
„You don't have to make me breakfast every day, I'm perfectly able to do that by myself!", Addison pointed out while she poured the hot coffe in their mugs.
„I know, but it's the least I can do for you, I mean you're letting me stay here and that for free since Amelia's new appartement is a complete mess. She hasn't unpacked more than two boxes and she's only been eating ice-cream for two months, since she moved in."
„You've got a point there. But still, you're my guest and I'm supposed to do that", the doctor said as she stood next to her best friend and grabbed the pan from her. Their hands barely touched for a second but Addison enjoyed feeling the somehow cool but somehow really hot skin. It send shivers up her spine and made quite some goosebumps on her arm.
„Are you cold?", Ashely asked concerned, leaning closer to Addison.
„No, I'm perfecly fine, thank you", she said but beeing so close to Ashley again didn't help much. As she soon found out, freezing was a good thing, at least if you were close to Ashley. Because just mentioned woman placed herself behind Addison, covering the smaller woman's body with her's, placing her hands on Addisons's arms and her head on Addisons's left shoulder. Addison flinched at the sudden contact.
„I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you, I should've asked. Is it okay for you?"
„Yeah, of course. It's much better right now"
They stayed in that position for some time.
Addison felt Ashley's warm breath rush over her neck, making her shiver again while she felt the strong and steady heartbeat of the other woman's heart against her back. This was one of the moments she felt really safe, because being in Ashley's arms no one could hurt her, she knew perfectly well that her friend would protect her from all the bad things out there. In Ashley's arms, Addison felt home.
