After have watched Addison walking to the bathroom for a quick shower before going to work, Alex was looking for something to eat. A bowl of cereals in one hand and a spoon in the other, he started to eat when he heard the front door open. "Sorry I didn't know that Addison was with someone…" that dude began to apologize to him. And Alex was asking himself if he has to say something. Instead he continued to eating. "So.." he cleared his voice looking everywhere, maybe looking for Addison. "She's upstairs." Alex spoke before Sam could ask where she was. "I'm going to tell her that you're here." Wait a minute, he thought. Why he was going to tell her that this guy was waiting for her? The only answer that came up to his mind was that he didn't know this guy and their relationship at all…Yeah, it was the right answer.
"Karev what are you doing?" she yelled at him and Alex realized that she was wearing only a pair of panties and a bra…but most important he realized that he didn't knock on her door before open it. "It's not that I didn't see that before." He said in a cocky and annoying way, eating another spoon of cereals. "Out of my room, now." Addison ordered to him, in that Satan way that, generally aroused him. So, he cleared his voice, still looking at her. It was simple being the Karev ass. Not because he wasn't thankful to her for let him stay in her house, but because if Addison was annoyed by him she wasn't going to ask him questions and seriously he didn't want to talk about all that crappy stuff that was going on in his life. "You're not going to ask me why I am here?" Alex smirked resting his back against the wall. But she simply sighed heavily. Maybe let him stay wasn't the smartest thing to do. She was going through a lot of crap in that period that maybe Karev was the last person that could make her feel a little better. But when she heard what happened to him the last time that she was at Seattle Grace and after have saw how broken he was before… "Why are you here, Karev?" She asked trying to ignore his stare. "A guy is waiting for you downstairs." Alex answered with his mouth full of food. But she couldn't understand his tone. He was already gone.
"You're not going to tell me who that guy was?" Sam asked in a whisper while he and Addison were stepping out from the elevator at the Oceanic Wellness Group. "It's an old friend, nothing more." Addison shrugged heading to her office with Sam behind her. They entered the office, Addison was trying so hard to avoid every Sam's question. Actually he was babbling something like "He's not that old…At least 30 years old…" Addison raised her hands to make him stop talking. "Calm down, Sam. We worked together while I was in Seattle." She began to explain, sitting on her couch. "And now he's there because he needs a place to stay for a little. He's a friend who needs help." Sam took a seat as well, looking straight at her.. "Sloan was an old friends who needed help too..Look how it turned out well for you." Before he realized what he said it was too late. Addison looked away from him with watery eyes. But that wasn't the place and the time to break down. She sighed and stayed in silence. "I'm being overprotective, I know that. But we're good friends…and after the kisses.." The kisses! Addison wasn't listen anymore to what Sam was talking, instead she focused on the kissing thing. That was good because Sam changed the subject of his thoughts and she wasn't asking to herself why Alex Karev was at her house. And why she let him stay.
"Okay…"Addison began after some minutes of silence between her and Sam. "Maybe we kissed when we were upset. It's like a comfort thing." Sam looked at her, nodding. "Yeah we're lonely. Lonely neighbors."
"Yes!" she agreed with him. "No.." and then she changed her mind.. "That kiss was…really hot.." and then there was an awkward silence again. Until.. "Do you wanna keep kissing?" Addison looked at him. Eyebrows raised like she was listen to something unreal. "See where it goes.." Sam was trying to convince her and with the look that she had on her face…He thought that she was thinking the same. "Do you?" was her reply. She wanted to be sure before doing something really really stupid. Because hey..they were Sam and Addison. They know each other since college…but more important he was married with her best friend. But she didn't really want to think about this stuff now. Now she only wanted to forget anything and feel something. Really feel something. The only answer that he gave to her was going to the door and close it. So she stood up as well. "Oh no no, I'm having a déjà vù. I can't do this in my office again. No, no, it's a bad idea." She started rambling, the last thing that she needed to do right now was have sex with Sam in her office like she had with Mark. Because Sam was right. Look at how it turned out well for her that situation. "Why?" he asked standing really close to her. "Because I think..we're not thinking… about.." but it was hard to think, speak or whatever when he was so close to her. Their eyes were on their lips in this moment. "Naomi…" she sighed again going more near to his lips. "Who care about Naomi?I'm over Naomi." He stopped her rambling again in a rough and low voice and only for a brief moment she thought that was the wrong rough voice. That she preferred to hear another rough voice instead. The only words that she was able to say were "Naomi…best friend ex husband…" but in this moment their lips were so close, her hands on his shoulders. She was leaning more forward for the kiss and…someone knocked at the door. Or well..Sheldon knocked at the door. "Do you know where Sam…Oh there you are!" Sheldon said after Addison opened the door. "Hey you found me." Sam gave him the best polite smile that he could in that moment and, with a glance to Addison, he left the office with Sheldon. And with an heavy sigh she took her things and started to work. If thinking about Karev in her house could be called work.
Alex was laying on the couch. His eyes fixed to the ceiling and he was asking to himself if going to Los Angeles was a good thing. But then he remembered from what he was running away and he decided that stay at Montgomery's house was maybe a stupid thing, but not stupid like be Izzie's bitch. Not stupid like love someone who treated him that bad. It's also true that he lied a lot to Addison. In the past and even now when he said to her that he wasn't really in love with Izzie and he did the mistake to stay by her side and let her treated him like crap. Well, he didn't tell to Addison that last line. And that was the truth. But he wasn't ready to talk about his marriage. He scratched his face and when he was going to stood up, he heard the front door open and Addison's laugh outside. And then that guy voice. Again. So he changed his mind and remained still on the couch, not really ready to saw someone in an happy relationship, because, he thought, those two were together. And that was something strange to him.. He heard the gossip about Addison and Sloan and Los Angeles.
"Maya is with Nai, if you want to have dinner with me.."
"I don't know Sam, I'm tired and I have to catch up with some charts that Coop gave me this afternoon. Maybe you could come for a glass of wine like always."
Alex closed his eyes, trying not to listen to the couple but it was hard. And he didn't want to admit that he was a little happy for Addison saying no to that dude, because he cooked her dinner like he promised in the morning.
"See you later, Addison." The front door closed and Alex heard Addison going to kitchen. He wondered what she would think about the dinner already on the table.
"I thought that you and that dude were going to eat my dinner." Alex smirked when he felt Addison standing near him. He felt her rolling her eyes. So he simply smiled.
"How can you be such a sweet guy and the moment later an ass?"
"It's a charm, Monty." He bite his lower lip because he was going to laugh.
"Excuse me?"
"Mh?"
"How did you call me?"
"Monty. Why? You don't like it?"
"You can't call me like that." She sat near him. Alex could feel her small back pressing near his stomach.
"Why not? We live together…"
"I wouldn't go that far, Karev." He opened his eyes and he was without words. She looked so freaking tired.
"You okay?"
"Yeah..Hungry you know? Wanna eat here? We can go outside if you want."
"I'd like to. C'mon. Monty." He grinned and tried to hide the thought that he was trying to annoy her only to see her smile a little.
