From Laughing and Making Up

After a long tiring day at the hospital Addison sat at Joe's bar, drowning a Martini. The day hadn't exactly worked out how she had wanted it to. Her patients had done nothing but bitching and on top of all she lost a patient. It was no good day for Addison Montgomery and the fact that Mark had been asking her out all day hadn't helped at all.

"Hey, is this seat taken?" Addison turned around and looked at Derek standing behind her. It surprised her, usually he avoided her, or they avoided each other. Like there was a lethal line between them.

"I think you've asked me that before." Addison smiled softly, referring to how they had met.

FLASHBACK

"Is this seat taken?" A twenty four year old Addison Montgomery turned around, looking at a guy giving her a nervous smile.

"Sure, go ahead." She answered shortly, fixing her gaze on the copy of 'Persuasion' in her hands again.

"I'm Derek. Derek Shepherd." The guy introduced himself and extended his hand.

"Addison Montgomery." She laid her book down and put her glasses on top of it, looking at Derek.

FLASHBACK

"Yeah." Derek smiled back at his ex wife, sitting down next to her as he ordered a Scotch.

"Since when are you talking to me again? I mean like outside the hospital talking to me." Addison asked, looking into his pale blue eyes.

"What happened to the whole civilized thing?" He laughed, remembering when she had told him about that.

"Hmm, right. Let me formulate it differently: Since when do you, Derek Shepherd, greatest neuro surgeon in the world, following the civilized divorced couple thing?" She asked mockingly.

"Oh the sarcasm is back, I used to love that about you." He shook his head and grinned, knowing she was expecting an answer.

"Thanks but you didn't answer my question."

"Right" Derek sighed and looked into her emerald green eyes "there was a time we were best friends."

Addison furrowed her eyebrows together "Yeah, I know." She hated thinking about this, thinking about what they had become.

"You think we… we could go back to that?" Derek asked carefully, testing the waters almost.

"That's not by any chance about you not having anyone to talk to here? I mean, you just can't choose when you want to be friends with me and when you want to ignore me." She said bitterly.

"It's not about that Addison." Addison looked up from her fingers that were tracing the rim of her Martini glass and saw the honesty in his eyes. "I hate what has happened to us and I know it's my fault too. So could we please just make up?"

"I'd love to." She gave him a smile. Addison did want to make up, to be friends with him again, well, not just friends, but she tried to push those thoughts back.

"Good." Derek sighed in relief. "Friends again?" he raised his eyebrows and waited for her to take his hand.

Addison rolled her eyes and smiled broadly before taking his hand in hers. "Friends again." She repeated.

"So, how was your day?" Derek asked after a while.

"You don't wanna know." She answered shortly. Addison didn't feel like talking about it.

"I do wanna know, because you feel better if you talk about it."

"Fine, you win." She sighed. How well he knew her. "Well, I had this patient, really bright blond hair and tanned, fake nails and some fake British accent."

"Don't judge Addie." Derek grinned, he knew Addison loved to judge people by how they looked.

"Shut up! You'd have too. Anyway, her vanilla perfume gave me a migraine and the annoying clicking of her heels didn't make it any better."

"You're always wearing high heels Addison." He interrupted her.

"Not my point! So, she started ranting about how her ankles look now. So I explained to her it was normal. And what do I get?! 'You should not pin up your hair.' And you know why?! Because my ears apparently aren't my best feature."

Derek had to do his best to hold back a laugh, especially because of the pissed off expression on Addison's face, when he noticed her hair was falling over her shoulders "So you took her advice?" he asked in an amused tone.

"You know what? Just shut up or tell me about your day."

"Okay, okay." Derek couldn't help but laugh and after a few minutes she started laughing along with him
