I'm not very fond of this part, but this story was intended to be a oneshot, so I guess I'll live with it...
Not One To Pry 3/5
When you wake it's to Addison's not so quite voice exclaiming "Fuck!" rather loudly,
You groan and roll over, risking a glance at your alarm clock, its 5am; half an hour before your alarm goes off.
"Shh," You grumble as you try to get comfortable again,
"God… We actually… that actually… Oh my God."
You frown, "What actually what?"
"We actually…. Last night actually happened."
You smile lazily, "Mhmm."
She looks terrified, "All of it?"
"Well... We met at the bar, and we drank, and we came back here, and we had the best sex of… ever. And then we went to sleep."
"That's all?"
You look at her and sit up; you're not going to get back to sleep now, "No." You smile slightly, "Do you want forget about last night? Pretend it didn't happen?"
She swallows and looks at you, "No."
"Good." You smile,
"What else happened?"
"Do you actually not remember or do you just want me to say it again?"
"Meredith…"
You lean forward and brush your lips over hers, "You told me you love me, and I said it back." She smiles softly, hesitantly, you kiss her again and this time she kisses back just a little bit, "And I meant it. I love you."
She kisses you tenderly, "I love you too."
"You tortured me last night."
Addison smirks into your lips, "What are you going to do about it?"
You think about the last entry you read in her diary and as a smirk forms on your face a small wave of guilt washes over you for invading her private thoughts. But still you lay Addison down and crawl over her, then sit up once you're straddling her chest.
"I think I might have to punish you, what do you think?"
You see her eyes darken incredibly, "I agree, Meredith, I need to be punished."
You reach back and smack her bare hip, "You will call me Mistress."
"Yes, Mistress." She moans,
You grin and lean down kissing her deeply, she kisses back, clutching at you, but you pull away, "Addison I have a small confession to make."
"Confessions later," She murmurs, "Sex now."
She kisses you and her hands move through your hair, pulling it slightly,
"Addison." You pull away again, "Seriously,"
"Ok," She says with a sigh, "What is your confession."
You shift until you're lying next to her, semi on top of her, and you head is resting on her shoulder.
"Well," You say, "A couple of months ago I was at the trailer."
"Mmm," She prompts,
"I was alone and I found… Well I thought it was Derek's at the time, so I started to look over it and I realised it wasn't his… it was yours."
"Ok…"
"And I took it home, and well I've been looking over it, I know I shouldn't but when I tried to stop things got a little out of hand and I couldn't give it back to him, because he didn't know I had it and I didn't think you'd want him to have it. And I couldn't give it back to you because I was sure that… I dunno, I just couldn't."
Addison frowns, "What is it?"
You sit up and reach over to your beside table, the diary sits on top of it. You grab it and hesitantly show Addison, who is sitting up now. She takes it from you and opens to the dog eared page, a frown forms on her face.
"This is my dream diary."
You nod awkwardly,
"You've been reading it?"
"When I realised what it was I tried to stop but I couldn't, it's about me I was curious and then when I read it I couldn't un-read it and I needed to know more and it just... Do you hate me?"
"I'm a little annoyed. And angry."
"I'm sorry."
Addison looks at you, "Do you really love me, or do you love me because of what's in here?"
"I… When I started to read it I noticed you more."
"So it's not real?"
"No Addison," You say, "The diary made me realise that you're, well, you're gorgeous. And it would be totally hot to be in a situation where I was in bed with you." You brush her hair back and look her in the eyes, "You made me fall for you. You're amazing Addison, you're generous and kind, and you're just so… you're you. And that's why I love you, the diary just opened my eyes. Ok?"
She nods, "Okay."
"Good." You both lay back down and you move into her arms, "Are you still angry?"
She shakes her head and kisses you softly, "No."
You look over at the clock, 5.15. "You wanna sleep for fifteen minutes? Or do you wanna leave before Izzie and George get up?"
"Wouldn't they have heard?"
You blush and nod, "They probably don't know it was you though."
"Do you want me to go before they find out?" She asks,
You shrug, "They know I have a thing for you. Well, Izzie and George do, the others don't."
"Sleep then."
The two of you make yourselves comfortable and both slip into sleep.
"Hey Meredith you gotta- Oh my God!" Your eyes snap open and you sit up suddenly in bed, Izzie is standing in your door way staring, you look over and see Addison is still asleep and completely uncovered by any blankets, you grab your doona and lay it over her,
Izzie is grinning at you smugly, "Seriously Mer?"
You smile, "Seriously."
She laughs lightly, "Well you gotta get up; we're late." She leaves, "There's coffee in the kitchen!" she yells over her shoulder,
You look at the clock, 5.55.
"Shit!"
Addison groans, "Ergh, what's with all the loud noises?" She complains,
"Sorry, we're late, I'm gonna grab a shower, there's coffee downstairs." You kiss her softly then get up and grab a towel, moving quickly to the shower.
The four of you (You, George, Izzie, and Addison) arrive at work fifteen minutes early. You're not quite sure how that happened, considering you were running half an hour late, but you are so it doesn't really matter. This way you have time to buy coffee from the little trolley kiosk out the front.
You take Addison's offered hand and walk into the hospital together, making Izzie grin and point it out to George; he just looks embarrassed but agrees with her that you and Addison are sweet together.
It's not until you're in the elevator and stop at your floor that Addison leaves your side, "This is us." You say lamely, she laughs though and you smile,
"Meet me for lunch?" She asks,
"Ok." You hesitate but kiss her quickly before jumping of the elevator with Izzie and George, a stupid grin on your face.
"So," Says Izzie with a grin,
"So what?" You ask,
"So are two you dating?"
You smile, "Yea."
"Seriously?"
"Seriously."
"I so knew it, you two have been making eyes at each other for over a month."
You laugh and the three of you enter the locker room and start to change with the others into your scrubs. You yawn loudly and Izzie laughs at you, you hadn't arrived home until the early hours of the morning, you only had two hours of sleep.
Cristina is already dressed and reading through a chart eagerly, and you're surprised when Izzie doesn't continue to chat about Addison, not that you're complaining, instead you just dress and drink the remainder of your coffee.
Alex staggers in and dresses rather quickly and soon after Bailey walks in, "Right," She says, "Yang, you're with Burke. Grey, Shepherd. Stevens with Dr. Montgomery, O'Malley you're in the pit and Karev you're with Dr. Torres."
Izzie grins at you and moves off, you roll your eyes and start to move with Cristina.
"What was that, with Izzie?" She asks,
"She's just teasing me."
"Why?"
"Probably because I'm on Derek's service," You say, and it could be the truth, but you know it's probably because she's with Addison. You suppose you should tell Cristina that and you look at her, your mouth open.
"What?" She asks, staring at you strangely,
"Nothing."
She rolls her eyes at you and changes direction as she sees Burke. You find Derek, wondering curiously how awkward today will be.
Lunch comes around with the sudden alert of a page from Addison. Cafeteria 10 mins, it reads. You smile and Derek looks at you funny,
"Dr. Grey," he asks, "Somewhere you need to be?"
"Lunch date." You say, "Is ok if I take a break for half an hour?"
He grins at you bemusedly, "Of course. I was just going to suggest we come back to this." He indicates the MRI scan you were supposed be looking at,
"Thanks." You grin and move away to the cafeteria and get your food, you see Addison smiling at you from a table that's only one over from your usual table,
Izzie winks at you and George elbows her, Cristina and Alex look up and they shift their trays to give you room, you flash them a small smile but walk past them and sit with Addison.
"This whole hospital will be talking about this." She says to you,
"I know."
"They'll make up some ridiculous story."
"Addison, I know."
She smiles slightly and murmurs quietly, "Would you kill me if I kiss you right now?"
"No."
"Good." And she leans in and presses her lips to yours softly; you smile and kiss her back, keeping it tender and sweet, your hand cupping her cheek, "I needed that." She whispers,
"Bad case?"
"Yea."
You realise that the entire cafeteria is quiet and staring. Only George and Izzie have the respect to look away.
Alex is the first to recover, "Dude," He smirks, "That was hot,"
"Alex!" Hisses Izzie, but you laugh and start to eat your lunch and eventually the cafeteria fills with chatter again,
"So this," You say, "Are we like, dating?"
She grins, "Are you asking me out on a date Dr. Grey?"
"I think I am Dr. Montgomery."
You both laugh, "Yes, we're dating."
You nod and notice Derek walking in holding a tray of his food; with a small laugh you notice he has a yoghurt/muesli cup, a bottle of water, and a salad. As the people around you notice him they started to chat excitedly and laugh a bit, then watch as he frowns at them and sits down at a table across from you.
He notices you and Addison sitting together and raises his eyebrow at you curiously, you pretend not to notice and instead you just smile at Addison and open your mouth obediently when she offers you a spoonful of her green jello.
Cristina finishes her lunch fairly quickly and shoots you a glare that clearly says 'We need to talk, NOW'. You sigh,
"Addison I think Cristina wants to…"
Addison nods in understanding, "Of course, you go explain it to her." She risks and eye flick toward Derek who has been watching the two of you curiously, "I'll talk to him."
"You sure?"
"I'm sure."
"Ok," you grin at her, "Kiss me again?"
She smiles and you both lean into each other and you kiss softly. You hear Derek start to choke on his lunch and pull away from the kiss with a small laugh, "Bye Addison,"
"Bye Meredith." Another quick peck and then you're up and walking to an impatient Cristina, she grabs your wrist and drags you though the hospital until you're in Really Old Guy's room.
"Well?!" She exclaims,
"Addison and I are dating."
She rolls her eyes and scoffs, "Come on Mer, you and Satan?"
"Yes."
"But..." She motions at me, "You're Meredith Grey! You don't date chicks. And you definitely don't date McDreamy's ex-wife."
"Well I am." You say rather annoyed with her for some reason, "Do you have a problem with that?"
"Yes." You must look hurt because she quickly refines her answer, "Not with the gay thing, that doesn't matter, that's fine. It's the not telling me you're gay."
"I didn't tell anyone." You say,
"George and Izzie knew."
"They live with me Cristina, Addison stayed at my place last night. They noticed."
She nods, "You and Satan… God Mer, just when I think you're going to get all boring you rise."
"Shut up." Your pager goes off, Derek is looking for you, you sigh, "I have to go."
Cristina nods, "Have fun with McDreamy today," she gets an evil smirk over her features, "You should've seen his face when you two kissed,"
You walk away rolling your eyes and quite quickly Cristina's laughter is far behind you, you find Addison and Izzie in the NICU, Izzie grins at you, "Hey,"
"Hey Iz," You say but your focus goes to Addison, "What did he say?"
She gives you a forced smile, "Ah, well, he called me a cheating whore. He said I ruined our marriage and his chances of actually being happy. He said it won't last, that you'll go back to him eventually and I should stop this now before I get hurt. He said I was a bitch and there is no way someone like you would ever love me." She's trying not to cry so you shoot Izzie a glance and she nods before leaving the two of you alone,
"Addison." You reach out to her, "Hey, don't cry."
You're not quite sure what to do, you've never been a cryer, Cristina isn't a cryer, and you've never really had to deal with people who are cryers. Unless Izzie counts, but Alex dealt with the crying, you only helped once she was frozen on the bathroom floor.
Addison wipes her eyes, "I'm being ridiculous; of course he's upset and hurt. He's just taking it out on me because I was stupid enough to think we could be civilised about this."
"Hey, uh, I'm not so good with… crying and stuff, but… do you need me to hug you or…"
She laughs and moves to you, "Not now, maybe later."
You nod, "So my chances of scrubbing in on one of Derek's surgeries today…"
"Depends. He might only be angry at me."
You nod, "Hey Addison,"
"Yea?"
"I love you."
She smiles, and you give her a quick kiss, "I'll see you later, yea?"
"Yea." She nods,
"Bye,"
You leave and Izzie looks at you, "Well?"
"She's okay. McDreamy has been a McAss to her."
Izzie nods, "Okay, thanks Mer, you know, for cheering her up a bit, this case…"
You nod sympathetically, "I gotta go, before McDick kills me." She laughs as you move away quickly.
