"That's no fair! Addison, come back here! Fine, I'll talk to you later." Teddy said in a frustrated tone, she hated what Addison could do to her from a whole different state.
All she wanted to do was see her in person now, and that wasn't going to happen for another week.
It had been a week of texts, emails, phone calls and Skyping, and it was driving Teddy and Addison crazy. They both wanted to see each other so badly and finally the day came where they would be able to be together for the weekend.
Arizona had agreed to drop Teddy off at the airport before her shift on Friday morning, her flight was supposed to leave at 7 am, and Teddy just wanted to get there as soon as she could.
Once she was on the plane everything was really cemented for her, she was so thrilled to be seeing her girlfriend, and she couldn't believe that in less than 3 hours she would be there with her.
Addison had gotten the day off so she could go pick Teddy up at the airport, she was so excited that she was coming to visit her, but she was also extremely nervous about seeing Teddy again. The past two weeks had been hard not having her there with her and she was desperate to see Teddy again.
Teddy had been on the lavish, private plane for almost an hour and she was getting so anxious that she couldn't even focus on the book that she brought to read. Instead she was thinking of how good it would feel to walk into Addison's arms and hug her as soon as she got off the airplane.
Back in LA, Addison was sitting in her bed, awaiting her girlfriend's arrival. She was so excited and nervous that she didn't sleep at all the night before; instead she cleaned the whole house from top to bottom and moved around some of the stuff in her drawers so Teddy could leave some of her clothes there for the next time.
Sure, Addison had been in really serious relationships before, but she had never felt this way about someone before and it really surprised her. She also never thought that she would be attracted to a woman, ever. But she ended up surprising herself, sure she still admired a hot shirtless guy who happened to be running by her, but she didn't feel the need to go and talk to him anymore, Teddy was what she wanted.
Teddy spent the rest of the flight listening to mellow music and trying to calm down, it was working a little bit, but not quite as well as she wanted. She had no idea why she was so nervous and anxious, but it wouldn't go away.
As soon as the plane hit the ground, Teddy felt like she had so many butterflies in her stomach, but she would be seeing Addison in a few minutes, so it would be worth it.
Addison stood inside of the airport, waiting for her girlfriend to de-plane and come say hi. She knew that Teddy just brought one bag with her and there was no reason to check a bag when she had the whole plane to herself, so she would get to reunite with her soon.
As Teddy walked through the air conditioned tunnel to get inside she felt like she was going to pass out, but all of that went away as soon as she saw her girlfriend waiting for her outside of the gate. Addison was wearing a knee length purple dress with her typical black Jimmy Choo heels, and she looked absolutely gorgeous.
The butterflies had left Teddy's stomach and had been replaced with joy and a huge smile on her face as soon as she saw the redhead waiting for her. Teddy walked to Addison quickly and threw her arms around the ridiculously tall woman's waist as Addison threw her arms around Teddy's neck and kissed the shorter woman's temple.
After they stood there for a few minutes, just holding each other, they decided to leave and go back to Addison's house.
"Hi." Teddy said since she was already completely overwhelmed with emotion at seeing Addison.
"Hi, I missed you." Addison said as she grabbed Teddy's hand and led her out to the parking lot to get her car.
"I missed you too, so much. I'm glad that I could get the time off to come visit you here this weekend. I was almost dying without you there, I hate it."
"I know exactly how you feel, I hate it also, but we're together right now and that is all that matters."
"Wow, you would have a Mercedes S500, it's beautiful. I mean I'm no car fanatic like Callie is, but this car is absolutely gorgeous." Teddy said as they arrived at Addison's car in the parking garage.
"Why thank you, I have a certain interest in the gorgeous things in life." Addison said as she kissed Teddy on the cheek and then opened her car door.
"So how was your flight?"
"It was good, your pilot is so nice. I was just really anxious the whole time."
"Yeah, Marco is great. I know, I was really anxious waiting for you, but you're here now, so let's enjoy it."
"Definitely."
"So I was thinking that I can show you my house and then we can spend some time on the beach or I can show you the practice. Whatever you want to do, honey."
"As long as I'm with you, I don't care what we do. But I would love to meet the people you work with at some point."
"Well how about we go there first, you can meet everyone and then we can spend the rest of the day on the beach?"
"That sounds perfect."
"Welcome to the Oceanside Wellness Center." Addison said as they walked out of the elevator.
"Wow, this is really nice." Teddy said as she looked around at the beautifully designed lobby.
"Addison! What are you doing here? I thought you took the day off?" Naomi asked as she walked over to the front desk.
"Hey Nay, I told Teddy that I would show her the practice. Teddy Altman, this is Dr. Naomi Bennett, my best friend. Naomi, this is Teddy, my girlfriend."
"Hi Teddy, it's nice to meet you."
"You too, Dr. Bennett."
"Oh, call me Naomi, any girlfriend of Addison's can call me by my first name. Oh, Addie, I know you took the day off but can I borrow you for a few minutes for a consult?"
"Nay, I promised Teddy that I wouldn't be working."
"Addie, go. It's fine, it'll only be for a few minutes, I'll be fine."
"Okay, I promise it will only take a few seconds. Actually, come with me, I'll introduce you to Sam and you two can talk Cardio. He's our Cardio Surgeon."
"Alright, cool."
"Hey Sam, this is Teddy, my girlfriend. Teddy, this is Dr. Sam Bennett, our Cardio Surgeon. Teddy is going to become a surgeon, she's thinking Cardio, so can you talk to her about it for a few minutes while I help Naomi out on a case?"
"Yeah, of course, Addison."
As soon as Addison left the room, Sam stood up and walked over to Teddy to shake her hand.
"You must be really special to Addison, she doesn't just introduce us to anybody. She once dated this guy for months and he never met us. So it's really nice to meet you, Addie has been in a great mood since she got back from Seattle 2 weeks ago, so thank you."
"No problem." Teddy said after she chuckled a little bit.
"So why are you interested in Cardio?"
"I think I would just love the rush that you get when you do it and I love the idea of having someone else's life in your hands, it's so thrilling. I think it will make all of the schooling worthwhile, saving people is what I care about, it's just what I do."
"That's part of the reason that I went into cardio, I love being able to save people and I was just intrigued by how the heart works, it's amazing."
"Yeah, that's exactly why I want to be a Cardio Surgeon. I've been working towards it for the past few years and now I finally can afford to go back to school."
"Well good for you. Let me know when you graduate Med School because I might be able to find an internship for you."
"I would love that, thank you."
"No problem. So how are things going with Addison?"
"It's amazing, I just hate that we are so far apart from each other."
"Yeah, I'm sure that's really hard. Just be good to her, I don't want to see her get hurt again."
"I don't want to hurt her, and I won't, I promise."
"Good."
"Hey, I'm done giving Naomi a consult, so I can introduce you to everyone else now. Thanks for talking to her about Cardio, Sam." Addison said as she walked back into Sam's office.
"No problem, Addison. I'll see you on Tuesday, have a good weekend."
"Thanks, you too!"
Addison took Teddy around to meet everyone who worked in the office and they all talked to her for a few minutes so by the time they were done meeting everyone it was almost lunchtime.
"Do you want to go out to lunch?"
"Sure, I'm starving. I was too excited to eat breakfast."
"Same. What do you feel like eating? Italian, sandwiches, Chinese?"
"Ooh, how about we get Chinese and bring it back to your house?"
"Sure, that sounds good, then we can lay out by the pool or something."
"Cool! So all of your colleagues/friends were really nice, I can understand why you love to work there."
"Yeah, they're all great people. It's always like a big party whenever we are all together, it's so much fun!"
"Good, I'm glad!"
Teddy and Addison eventually decided to just go to Addison's house and order Chinese food to be delivered, that way she could show her the house before they got their food.
"So, this is my home. I'll show you the upstairs first; I have two guestrooms, my bedroom and then two bathrooms. You can decide if you want to sleep in a guestroom or with me."
"Obviously I'm going to choose to sleep with you." Teddy said with a smile as she walked into Addison's room and set her backpack down on the floor and sat down on Addison's bed.
"I was hoping you would. How about I show you the rest of the house while we are waiting for the food to be delivered?"
Addison continued to show Teddy the rest of the house and the backyard before the Chinese food came. They decided to eat out on the back patio under the sun; they opened a bottle of wine and talked about funny things that had happened to them while they were at work as they ate their lunch.
"So I'm thinking that we both go inside, change into our bathing suits and then come back down and lay out on the beach or by the pool."
"Sounds good to me."
They both went upstairs and Teddy changed into a small, red bikini while Addison changed into a blue bikini. Teddy was standing outside next to the patio table when Addison walked downstairs and saw her girlfriend wearing a very small bikini and just wanted to touch her.
"Hey, like what you see?" Teddy asked before Addison even knew that she had turned her head back to look at her as she opened the door.
"Uhh, what? So where do you want to go? Beach or pool?"
"Nice topic changing. How about we stay here at the pool, that way we are right next to your house in case we need anything, or want to do anything." Teddy said with a wink while Addison stood there with her mouth wide open, momentarily shocked.
"Okay, there's already a bunch of lounge chairs next to the pool so we're set."
An hour later, Teddy had decided to go swimming since it was a really nice day and Addison continued to tan by the pool until she felt a splash of water and immediately looked over at Teddy.
"Teddy!" Addison shrieked.
"What's wrong, Addie?" Teddy asked nonchalantly.
"That is not cool, Theodora."
"Yeah, well neither is 'Theodora', Addison."
"Yeah, well what are you going to do about it?" Addison asked and almost immediately after she asked that, she felt a much bigger splash hit her and get most of her hair wet.
"That."
"Oh, it is so on!" Addison said as she dove into the pool and then came up to the top and started splashing Teddy and only stopped when she noticed that Teddy wasn't splashing her back.
"Why aren't you splashing me back?"
"Because I already got what I wanted, you're closer to me. My plan worked." Teddy said as she smiled and started walking towards Addison.
"Very well played, Altman. Well played."
"I thought so, Montgomery." Teddy said as she finally closed the space between them and connected their lips.
The two of them continued to kiss for minutes before they had to come up for air, once they did manage to come up for air, they looked into each other's eyes and they both immediately felt content. Addison grabbed Teddy's hand and looked into her eyes, and once Teddy smiled and nodded, she led them up to her bedroom, which was exactly where they stayed for the rest of the afternoon.
I hope you liked this chapter! I'm going to be busy until Monday, but after that I will hopefully be able to write a lot more!
