Counting Stars

Hi! I'm so glad you seemed to have liked the plot and the let chapter! I doubt that this will be a very long story, but you're more than welcome to message me with your ideas :)

NetflixPerson01: I'm glad you liked the first chapter and will stick with me even though this is just a little boring so far!

jennifer: Thank you :D

LoveLastsForever: So Derek will be a little bit of a jerk for just one second but we'll get there :D And he definitely wants more, which is kinda cute. And the other stories will be updated some time soon when I'm pleased with the reader statistics.

KelsBama11: I'm glad you like it! And here's the next chapter :)

Guest: Thank you! That makes me happy that you love my stories :)

Guest: Thank you, and also sorry that this update is kinda boring...

Guest: Here's the update! And I'm sorry my spanish is so sucky that I can't say that in spanish :D

Addison-fan: It's so sad that there aren't more Addek stories, seriously… BUT here's the rather uneventful update...

Alterus: I'm glad you think it's interesting but I'm not sure it'll really stay interesting...

luvaddek: Thank youuuuu! That's so sweet :) it's too bad that they really didn't get a lot of screen time on GA.

Lena-Prince08: Thank you so much for always reviewing so kindly :))) Yeah, Preston and Mark have very odd chemistry, don't they? But I thought we'd need Kathleen in here so it'll be even more fun :)

geller516: I'm glad you like the idea and I really hope you'll like how it's continued because right now I keep re writing chapter three because somehow it doesn't seem right and reminds me too much of Country Kind of Love...

Addeklover: Thank you :)

EvenmoreComplex: Thank you for reading it all! :) Because sometimes I really doubt that people are still reading… It really is too bad that there aren't more Addek stories because they were just too good!

lorenalims: I'm happy you like it :D And I think there will be a few more sisters coming soon...

And to everyone else, I hope you like it!

The One With The Mixup

"Addison, can I please talk to you?" By now Derek had finally caught up with her and he really just wanted to talk to her because despite what his friends thought the previous night hadn't just been about 'scoring' with the most beautiful woman on the planet, which she really was, but still, he wanted to get to know her because he had been absolutely captivated by her ever since they had met.

"There is absolutely nothing we could talk about." She gave him her best ice queen look and according to the interns it really was quite effective but he didn't seem to be too convinced just yet.

"Well, how about the fact that we spent the night together last night?" He raised his eyebrows at her and leaned against the wall with a smirk on his face.

"Would you please just keep your voice down," Addison hissed in a whisper, the last thing she wanted was everyone at the hospital gossiping about her spending her nights with random men.

"Are you embarrassed of me?" He still looked rather amused at the expression on her face and the way she pinched the bridge of her nose between her index finger and her thumb.

"You know what? Yes, I am because I just started working here and the last thing I need is everyone talking about the new attending sleeping around." Addison was glad that she was still whispering because an intern had approached her by now with some ridiculous question that she really didn't have the nerves for by now. "I'll be right with you, Dr. Jameson," she said quickly before turning back towards Derek, "As you can see I am very busy, and we have absolutely nothing to talk about."

"You don't really mean that." Derek gave her another charming smile and took a step towards her. He could see that her intern seemed rather confused but pretended that he wasn't listening.

"Yes, I do."

"But that wasn't your position last night." He saw the color draining from her face and her eyes widening. "Assuming you still remember last night's position." And now she looked like she was about to scratch his eyes out.

"But this afternoon there is nothing left to talk about." Addison gave him a last degrading glance before she turned towards her intern and walked down the hall.

"So I'm guessing she really didn't feel like talking to you?" Kathleen raised her eyebrows at her brother who finally was back from his attempt to talk to Addison.

"Not so much…" He sighed and got onto the elevator with her.

"Just leave her be, it was a one night thing anyway. And just before you say anything, I do not want any details whatsoever."

"I wasn't planning on any details, Kate," he rolled his eyes, "but I don't just want this to be a one night thing. I like her, or at least what I got to know about her. Of course you and Preston and Mark and probably the rest of the world think that there was absolutely no way that we really got to know each other but I know enough to like her. You know me, I don't usually do anything like this so…" Derek shrugged his shoulders because he really didn't know what else he could or should say. He hadn't just enjoyed spending the night with her, of course that had been amazing as well, but he had liked everything about Addison. Her smile, the way her eyes twinkled whenever she made a joke, and how he had felt absolutely comfortable around her.

"I'll see what I can do, okay?" Kathleen gave up. She really just wanted to see her brother happy and maybe there really was something between them. "But I swear if you're just looking to get laid I will kill you."

"I'm not, I promise." He hugged her quickly, hoping that she would somehow be able to convince Addison to at least have dinner with him or something.

Addison could feel her body shuddering and trembling beneath his for the fourth time that night and she turned towards him when he had lain down next to him. Her breathing was till heavy and she smiled softly when he pulled her a little closer and kissed the top of her head. By now she felt almost completely sober and her entire skin was tingling, especially when he pulled her against him. A content sigh left her lips when she closed her eyes for just a moment. This might have been a mistake but it was the best mistake she had ever made.

"Good night, Addison," he whispered in her hair and felt her smile against his chest when he pulled the blanket up to cover both of their bodies.

"Night, Derek." Somehow it seemed as if she had never felt quite so safe and secure but once again, she could always blame it on the alcohol.

"Have you gotten over your potential soul mate just yet?" Preston teased his friend when they both walked through the big doors of Seattle Grace Hospital the next morning.

"She actually works with my sister… But when I saw her she wasn't really thrilled to see me, not that I can blame her since I really tried to push her buttons. Somehow I wonder why I do certain things." Derek sighed and shook his head when he remembered everything he had said to her the day before.

"She works with Kathleen?! You have got to be kidding me!" Preston had to laugh. This might just be a little too funny.

"Yep, she does. And I'm pretty sure she's even more gorgeous than I remembered but she doesn't seem at all interested in going anywhere with me."

"So what? There are enough other women but with you that is really never all that easy, is it? Somehow Mark, your sisters and I have tried to set you up numerous times and you normally didn't even care enough to order dessert when you were out with them and then this woman comes along and you can't seem to be able to stop thinking about her. Something is wrong with this picture…"

"She's just… Different. And I'd love to see her again and to actually get to know her…" Derek sighed again and ran his fingers through his hair. He had no idea how suddenly all he could think about was Addison and how he could see her again and maybe even get her to go out with him.

"So this is the brother you wanted to set me up with?" Addison sat down next to Kathleen on a bench outside of the hospital. They had both just finished their shifts and hadn't really been able to talk about all that had happened the day before.

"Just the one." Kathleen had to laugh and turned her head slightly to see that her friend was laughing as well. "But maybe everything I told you about him was wrong because I never thought my sweet little brother did… Something like that, not that it's disgusting but my brother doing it really is." She grimaced when she just thought of her brother having sex.

"Well, he really was very sweet and charming and considerate, so you weren't really wrong about that." Addison sighed and leaned back before simply looking up at the black sky.

"But then why don't you go out with him? For real this time, no taking anyone home or doing disgusting things multiple times?"

"Because it's icky… I can't date him. I mean, just no."

"Then I just ran out of brothers to offer. He has a best friend who's totally hot but not really in it for more than just the one night but that is also really worth it."

"Ew, you slept with his best friend?" Addison noticed that Kathleen had raised her eyebrows at her in an amused way. "That's different because I didn't know that he's your brother."

"Hmm, alright. So since you don't want to date my brother how about a barbecue this weekend?"

"That would be nice." Addison smiled, she was glad that the subject of her dating Derek was off the table even though she had to admit that he really was handsome and despite what he had said earlier she still found him very charming.

A few days later Addison glanced at her phone once she had parked her car in front of a house that seemed to be in the middle of nowhere but the address Kathleen had texted her was exactly where she was so apparently this was where they were having the barbecue. She had figured that Kathleen lived somewhere in the city, closer to the hospital but if this was the right address she must live here after all. When she had taken in her surroundings Addison walked towards the front door and rang the doorbell but when she looked at who had just opened the door she felt like she was having a heart attack.

"Uhm… hello?" Derek tried and just stared at the woman standing in front of him now. Kathleen had told him that Addison wasn't interested in dating him at all and even though she had been grinning when she had said that he had, of course, believed her so why was Addison here now?

"Tell me that this is your sister's house, I'm begging you."

"I'm sorry to disappoint you but I live here… Let me guess, she invited you to a barbecue?" By now he was rather amused even though killing Kathleen sounded really good.

"Yeah… Kind of… I'm so sorry, really, I'll leave because this is just awkward." She looked absolutely mortified that after everything between them she was now standing in front of him at his house.

"No, don't be ridiculous. We really are having a barbecue and there will be other people who haven't arrived yet but they will be here. Don't be sorry because my sister is crazy. I just didn't think that she was quite this crazy." He saw the slight smile on her face and that the tension between them seemed to be getting just a little less. "So, come in, you can help me work on a plan to kill Kathleen." And then she had to laugh.

"I think that would be a good idea." Addison gave him a smile when she walked into his house and was completely in awe because it was absolutely gorgeous. "So is there going to be some grand tour?"

"Right, I'm a terrible host! Would you like some wine? Because I'm pretty sure you'll find me funnier and that tour much better with alcohol." He flashed her the same smile that had made her so weak in the knees when they had first met and somehow it still had the same effect on her.

"As long as it's not Long Island Ice Tea…" She chuckled and followed him into the kitchen.

"Nope, my intentions are entirely pure." He handed a glass of red wine to her.

"Thank you." Addison felt tingles in her stomach when their fingers brushed briefly but she quickly regained her composure. "So when is everyone else getting here?"

"An hour…" Derek gave her an apologetic smile because he could only imagine how uncomfortable that made her feel.

"So plenty of time for that tour and to figure out how to kill your sister."

Alright, so it's a little like one of my other stories (if you haven't you should read that too :D) and I'm really trying to make it different ugh… Tell me what you think, please :) Because I've loved all your reviews so far!
