Thank you so much Antoni for beta reading! *hug*

So, have fun, because I had really fun writing it. ;)

Chapter 1

"So we brought chocolate, vanilla, raspberry and strawberry ice cream", Mark looked at Addison and Naomi.

"Chocolate", Naomi said smiling.

"Vanilla", Mark added.

"What about you?", Derek looked at Addison.

"Strawberry is great, but you can also have it if you don't like raspberry."

"No. Raspberry is fine", Derek smiled at her and gave her the strawberry ice cream even though he hated raspberry ice cream. But for once in his life he didn't complain, because she smiled at him when he gave her the strawberry ice cream.

"So how much work do we have left?", Mark looked at the others.

"Addison and I just finished writing down everything, so we're nearly finished."

They sat together in silence for a while, "You come from New York?", Addison asked Mark and Derek.

"Yeah,we lived here our whole life", Mark shrugged.

Derek rolled his eyes, " Yeah, I have to put up with him ever since I can remember."
"Hey, you're the one with the crazy sisters", Mark teased Derek back.

Addison had to laugh, "So you have sisters?", she looked at Derek.

"Yeah, four. I'm the only boy. It's … hard."

It went on like this for a while and the four of them became quickly friends.

"So, we thought about clubbing tonight. You're in?", Naomi asked Derek and Mark.

"Sure. We can show you some clubs", Mark looked at the two girl.

"Sounds like a good idea."

"So, where do we meet?"

" What about in front of the main building at 10 p.m.?"

"Perfect."

"You join me for lunch?", Naomi looked at the others.
"Sure", Addison agreed.

They looked at Derek and Mark.

"We can't. We promised his mother", Mark pointed at Derek, "to have lunch at his place."

"Cool. So, see you guys later then", Addison stood up smiling at them. Naomi stood up as well.

They waved one last time at Derek and Mark and went off.

Derek was still stunned. Mark had to laugh really hard when they were out of sighed.

"You ate raspberry ice cream. I have to tell this Kathleen."

"Funny, Mark. Why the hell did you tell them that we will eat at my mother's?"

"Because it's the truth", Mark replied.

Derek sighed, "You could tell them … whatever, but you … you know what. Forget it. Let's go, because we will be late if we don't leave now."

Mark looked at his best friends and noticed that it was different than with the other girlfriends Derek had, but didn't say anything and promised himself to support his best friend when they went out at night with Naomi and Addison.

Half an hour later they arrived at Derek's home.

"Hey mom, we're here", Derek yelled.

"Kitchen", they heard Carolyn Shepherd's voice.

Derek and Mark went into the kitchen, "Hey boys, you're lucky. Dinner's just finished."

Derek and Mark sat down at the dining table.

"How was your day?"

"Good."
"Have you met new people?"

Derek shot a warning look at Mark, but Caroline saw his son's look and sat down to them, "So I guess some interesting new people."

"We had a group work", Mark told her.
"You worked together?"
"We were paired up, but we were in the same group."
"Only you two?"
"No, we and two girls."

Carolyn looked at Derek, "I guess one of them is nice."
"They are both nice", Derek told her. Mark only grinned at Derek, "Sure, Der."

Derek and Mark started to eat.

"So, tell me about her", Carolyn Shepherd looked at her son.

Derek sighed, it was senseless to try to hide something from his mother, because she always found out, it was that way ever since they were children and Mark and he broke accidentally her favorite vase and tried to hide it. Mostly he liked his mother, but she couldn't stand secrets. So he admitted defeated and told his mother, "Her name's Addison. She seems to be nice."

In this moment Derek's sister Kathleen entered the kitchen, "Let me guess, another stupid blonde one."

"No, Kathy, believe it or not, she's a red head", Mark laughed.

Kathleen sat down next to Mark, "Derek how could this happen? Seriously a red head?"

"You know what I promised to come to eat with you and tell you about med school, but the only thing you do is making fun of me. See you later Mark." Derek furiously stood up and left.

Carolyn sighed, "He likes her really much, right Marky."
Mark shrugged his shoulders, "Yeah, but she's not like the others. She's nice and seems to be intelligent to. We go out with her and Naomi – the other girl from our group – tonight."

Carolyn looked at Mark, "I hope you have a good time with them."
"Thanks mom. Lunch was great as ever."

Mark also left. Carolyn glared at Kathleen, "You know, when he likes a girl he's sometimes a bit sensitive."
"Oh come on mom, his other girlfriends were horrible."
"Yeah, maybe, but I think Mark's right. Maybe she's the right one. She managed to get into med school, so she can't be completely stupid."

Meanwhile Addison and Naomi were also having lunch.

"So, you have siblings?", Addison asked Naomi.

"No. You?"
"One older brother. His name's Archer."

"So, what do you think about them?"
"Them?"

"Derek and Mark."
"Seem to be nice guys."

Naomi shot her a look, "Oh come on, you like Derek."
Addison looked away and Naomi got a bit more excited, "You really like him."
"Maybe a little. He's nice and doesn't look that bad."

Naomi grinned at her new friend, "So, you know what to wear tonight?"
"I thought about a dress with some heels", Addison answered.

"Derek will like it for sure", Naomi teased her.

"Oh shut up", Addison glared at her, but she had to laugh, so Naomi didn't really take her serious.

Addison started eating her salad, "You live here in a dorm?"
"Yeah, but it's disgusting. I hope I can move out soon. Where do you live?"

"Not far away. My parents own an apartment near med school, so I moved in there", Addison usually doesn`t tell people, because she hated the looks she got, when they noticed she had too much money to spend it all. But she felt like she could trust Naomi. They talked and an hour later the girls went to their apartments to get ready for the night.

Addison was unsure what to wear. She hadn't talked a lot to Derek, but Naomi was right, she liked him. She sighed. She and a man, a perfect nice man, she had the feeling that would never happen, she hasn`t been lucky with men in the past.

She picked out a fancy short dark blue dress designed by Tommy Hilfiger and some matching heels.

She arrived just in time in front of the main building. Derek was already there, but Mark and Naomi were nowhere to be seen so she went over to Derek.
"Hey", she smiled at him and gave him a hug.
"Hey. You look great."
"Thanks. You don't look that bad yourself. So how was dinner with your mother?"
"Good", Derek smiled at her. She looked so incredible hot in this dress. In the front it didn't show too much, but it had a big aperture in the back. Her red hair was perfectly styled in some fluffy curls, who framed her beautiful face.

In this moment Mark and Naomi arrived.

"So, let's party!", Mark said excited smiling at them. He loved party and he loved parties even more when there were hot girls and especially Addison looked super hot that night.

Please review! Love Mariella
