Sunday Morning – Maroon 5

Sunday morning rain is falling
Seal some covers share some skin
Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable
You twist to fit the mold that I am in
But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do
And I would gladly hit the road get up and go if I knew
That someday it would bring me back to you

In the next morning Alex woke up first. Addison was still cuddled in him. Without waking her he took his phone from the nightstand. The time was 06:20 am and they were starting work at in 07:00 o'clock. He knew that he have to get on but he just couldn't wake her. She looked so peaceful in her sleep and when she was awake she was Addison who can't fight maybe the worst period in her life.

He stood like this another 2 minutes when he started whispering:

"Addie… Addie, it's time to get up!"

She opened her eyes and when she felt him so closer she pulled off quickly.

"Oh I'msorry I…"

"Good morning!"

"Morning." She responded and blushed a little.

"How did you sleep?"

"Fine. Thanks." In fact this was the first night in months when she was not waking up at least one time.

"I'm sorry that I haven't let you sleep more but the time is 06:30…

"06:30?!" She lifted up. "Bailey's going to kill you" She said with smile.

"Thanks. Really. Very funny." He pretended like he is hurt. , But if she kills me than you'll not going to have an intern so we both will lose of it." He announced. Addie laughed.

At 06:50 they were already in the car.

"Listen, I am really sorry about the other night. This will never repeat again. We're a good team and… I want our relations to stay professional…" She started. Addison was expecting him to get offend, or even angry, but he just nod.

"Whatever do you want." Alex didn't want to be the next intern who have McUnprofessionalReletionshipWithHisBoss. If that depended on him he wanted everything to be just like yesterday, he wanted to be her friend, a friend that she could rely on.

They didn't spoke in the next 5 minutes maybe they had nothing to say to each other or maybe they were afraid to talk after the final words.

When they got off the car they saw Meredith and Derek on the parking. Derek gave Alex a strange look.

"Good morning!" said Addison with smile and than added. "I'm happy that I met you, Karev. See you at the hospital."

Alex went to get a cup of coffee because he didn't wanted to talk with Meredith. But for bad fortune he met Izzie at the cafeteria.

"Hey, where have you been all night, I was worried about you." She asked.

"I had a late surgery, than I went to Joe's bar and than I came home. In the morning I wanted to… to have a walk and than I met Ad… Motgomery… Dr Montgomery and she gave me a drive." He made up a fast story.

"You wanted to have a walk? Alex Karev is going on a walk at 05:00 am?" She said surprised.

"I just woke up early." God, he wasn't good liar and he didn't wanted Izzie to know about that. She was always joking that only they aren't in a relationship. She was crushed after the whole Danny and O'Malley thing and he didn't want her to know even for the last night.

After an hour Alex was in surgery with Burke and Addison's intern for the day was Izzie.

Addie was looking for him all morning and she was afraid that Alex was avoiding her.

"Stevens, do you know… where's Karev?"

"He is in surgery with Dr Burke." Izzie said suspiciously. "Can I ask you why… are you looking for him?"

"Oh, it's nothing important, I just wanted to ask him to… to do something… for me" Addie tried to explain.

"I can do it."

"What?"

"I am your intern today… so I can do whatever do you want Alex to do" She said simply. Addison stared a bit longer into the intern's hazel eyes while Izzie was looking into her boss's ocean blue.

"Oh, of course. First you have to go in room 316 and check on Mrs. Fleetwood. Than in room number 320 is Mrs. Lorans see if she had any contractions already. It seems like we have many patients today."

While Izzie was leaving Addison's office she started wondering why Montgomery was looking for him and what the hell was going on with Alex, he was acting very strange today. If she didn't know how much his friend hated genecology she could say that…

"Beeeeep" Her pager rang. It was an emergency.

After he was done with the surgery, Alex went out to find Addison who was making a c-section of Mrs. Lorans.

After a couple of hours Addison paged him but he was examining one child at the clinic.

After his shift ended Alex went to the nurses-station and Olivia said that Addison was done for today in the hospital.

So he went to Joe's bar and bought a beer when he heard a familiar voice.

"Hey"

"Hey" He saw Addison who was now standing next to him. He continued watching her while she was staring at her glass. After a few moments she started laughing without any reason.

"Are you Ok?" Hesaidwithconfusion. Addison began to laugh again and he smiled at her.

"How many glasses of vodka have you drunk?" Alex asked her like he was asking a 5-year old child how much chocolate did he have eaten.

"Idon't… (laugh)… remember. And this is not vodka! It's gin!" Shesaidwithindignation. After that she swallowed the rest of her drink.

"Joe! Can I take another one?" Shesaidlaughing. "Youareaveryattractive man, youknow." ShesaidtoAlex. Hesmiled with confusion.

"I think that you shouldn't drink more Dr. Montgomery."

"Please, call me AddisonorAddie or Son!" And she started laughing at her own words. Joe seemed amazed, he have never seen her so drunk before.

"Don't give her more Joe." Alex interrupted. She looked at him offended.

"I am not drunk. And you're not so attractive any longer."

"Come on, let's go."

She walked outside without even ask where they are going and forgot her jacket. Alex took it. She felt better from the cold wind.

"Put it on, it's cold. I don't want you to catch a cold."

"Wow, Karev that was sweet!" Alex helped her to get on her jacket.

"So… where are we going now?" She asked with reserve.

"In Meredith's house." Heanswered. Addison started laughing again.

"Do not joke with me!" She said after a couple of minutes. "I am not that drunk…"

"I'm not kidding." She looked at him carefully like she was trying to guess if he's serious. Her smile gradually faded.

"You're crazy! This is the last time where I would go when I am sober, but now I'm drunk too."

"Relax, it's not so bad there…"

"I'm not saying that is bad but that maybe Derek's there. Can't we just goi n to your place"

"I've moved in her house before a month ago."

"Perfect!..."

"Addie, please listen to me. What I'm trying to say is that Derek has a night shift today… I know because I talked to Meredith. Izzie is making dinner tonight and I promised her that I'll be there." He finished, hopefully.

"Alex, really, Ijustcan't even you said that I am drunk I can't go there in that condition. You don't know who's going to be there and… you should go. You've promised…"

"I won't go if you don't come with meI'm tired of listening the other people's problems and…" But Addison was not listening to him. She was wondering if she can do this for Alex.

"You're sure that Derek won't be there?"

"Yes."

"And there won't be many people?"

"No."

"And that I'm not so drunk?"

"No, you're not." He smiled at her.

"Ok… I'll come"

"I love you" he announced.

"It seems like you're drunk too."

"Yeah."

They walked a few minutes without saying anything.

"So… here we go."

"What? So fast?"

"Don't worry everything is going to be fine."

"Fine!? But I can't walk on straight line!"

"You said that you can be for a couple of minutes ago. And you said that you'll come." They were already standing in front of the glass door. They saw Izzie, George, Meredith, Christina and Burke.

"You said they there won't be so many people." She said with confusion.

"I didn't know thatComeon." And he touched her shoulder.

"I'm looking horrible…"

"No. You look beautiful" He said watching her. Addison smiled at him.

They walked in. Everybody was looking at them for a couple of seconds.
