Part [4/8]
Day Three.
Alex groaned a little as he stirred in his sleep, as his eyes fluttered open he looked down at his body, seeing an arm slung over his body he followed it to the naked one beside him, he slowly moved the arm from him and slipped out of the bed, quickly finding his clothes and putting them on before returning to the house.
~x~
Addison woke up slowly an hour or so after Alex had left and looked around the room sleepily, frowning in confusion, not knowing why she was there, she looked down at her naked body and let out a sigh, she got herself dressed before walking over to the kitchenette and getting herself some water, she groaned as she felt her head throb, she slipped on her shoes and walked slowly back into the house and then into the kitchen.
"Good morning Addison" Harry smiled from the kitchen table, she groaned "There are painkillers in the cabinet next to the refrigerator"
"Thanks" she mumbled "I'm gonna kill Sammy for this"
"I'm sure she wasn't forcing the drinks down your throat dear" Harry smirked.
"It's still her fault" Addison mumbled as she knocked back two pills with some water.
"Morning" Alex said quietly as he walked into the kitchen.
"Good morning" Harry smiled "Addison has the painkillers"
"Right, thanks" Alex nodded, he walked over to her and she passed him the bottle.
"Did, did something happen last night?" Addison whispered to him "Because I woke up naked in the out house and, I can't…."
"You can't remember?"
"No and I…."
"Drugs, give me the drugs" Jessie groaned as she walked into the kitchen, grabbing the bottle from Alex and stopping all conversation between him and Addison.
~x~
"You had sex" Jessie smirked as herself and Addison walked into the rehearsal dinner that evening.
"Wha….what?" Addison stuttered.
"It's been obvious all day, you're walking a little uncomfortably, and you just, you look like you've had sex" Jessie shrugged.
"I woke up naked, alone and naked, in the outhouse this morning" Addison whispered "And I'm, pretty sure I slept with someone in there"
"You slept with Alex, he's hardly been able to look at you, just think, really think, what happened when you got back here…."
Addison paused for a minute and thought to herself "Oh fuck" she whispered "I, I woke him up and took him to the, to the outhouse, oh fuck"
"I knew it" Jessie laughed.
"Ok everyone, can you take your seats please" Elizabeth called out, Addison groaned a little and moved away from Jessie to sit next to Alex, with just one look Alex knew what she had remembered.
~x~
"We're gonna have to talk about this at some point y'know" Alex said quietly as the dinner plates were cleared away "I know you've remembered since you can't even look at me"
"Not now Alex" she sighed.
"Then when?" he asked "We can't ignore what happened"
"We can" she shot back "It was stupid, we were drunk and stupid and it should never have happened"
"You were the one who came on to me Addison" Alex replied.
"That's not the point!" she exclaimed loudly, neither of them noticing everyone staring at them.
"Well what is the point?" Alex exclaimed back "Addison you can't just have sex with me and then pretend it never happened, it doesn't work like that, I don't care how drunk we were, I've done everything you've asked me too, I took time off work to come here with you, I've lied to my friends, I've spent the past couple of days trying to fit in with your family and why? Because you are too damn scared to admit to them that you're alone"
"Y'know what, screw you" Addison spat "I have no idea why the hell I asked you to do this, you are nothing but a waste of space, I wouldn't be surprised if you did turn into your father"
"Nice Addison, real nice" Alex said standing up "Don't worry, I'll be out of your hair by tomorrow, and I think, I think I'll recommend that we don't work together again, since I'm such a waste of space and all"
"Alex I…." Addison started.
"No" he snapped "You don't get to take that back, I've tried so hard to be good enough for you this week, so so hard because, because god dammit Addison I've been falling in love with you for months! I know I told you I wasn't interested after we kissed, but I didn't think I was good enough for you, and then I, I saw how much you needed me and I pushed it aside, I pushed it all aside for you, and that, now you've said that, I know it's all been for nothing, I'll pay you back for the flight and the suit and everything, and after that, I don't ever want to see you again" he said shakily "Goodbye Addison" he said storming from the room.
"Let him go" Jessie said grabbing Addison's wrist as she went to stand.
"I…" Addison started before breaking down into sobs against Jessie.
"I know" she said hugging her "I know" she whispered "Let's go to my room" she said standing her up and leading her out.
"What in the world was that?" Elizabeth exclaimed.
"Just have a drink dear" Harry said patting her arm lightly.
~x~
"Dammit" Alex said as he hung up the phone to the airline, shoving his belongings into his bag.
"No flights?" he heard Sammy ask from behind him.
"Not until tomorrow" Alex replied quietly "I'm just gonna go, find a hotel or something" he mumbled, he closed his bag, picked it up and turned to leave "Sorry I'm not staying for the wedding but, I really should leave"
"Stay in the outhouse" Sammy said passing him a set of keys "You might feel different in the morning, and I'd really like you to be at the wedding"
"I don't think that's the best idea" Alex sighed "But, I hope you enjoy it, you're going to be a beautiful bride" he said kissing her cheek "Good luck Sammy"
"Alex you can't just leave" she sighed as he walked past her "You love her don't you! I don't care if this was all made up, I know you love her, please try and work it out"
"She doesn't feel the same" Alex said turning back to her "She thinks I'm scum Sammy, and you, you and your family, you don't know me, not really"
"I know you're not scum, and I know Addison didn't mean any of that, I know she didn't"
"It doesn't matter anymore" Alex sighed "Goodbye Sammy"
"At least call someone when you get back to Seattle, let us know you got back safe"
"I will" Alex nodded "I'll post the keys through the front door when I'm done with them"
Sammy nodded a little, she stepped forward and hugged him before letting him leave.
