Chapter 3

The next morning a very sleepy Addison and Naomi sat in their first course. Addison still didn't feel really good.

"We ate too much chocolate … I think I have a sugar shock. I think I never ate so much chocolate at one single evening."

Naomi laughed, when Addison laid her head on the table, "You're such a winey woman Montgomery."

Addison lifted her head, "Funny."

In this moment Derek and Mark entered the room. Derek was still very tired. He had trouble sleeping, because he couldn't stop thinking about Addie. How she looked, how she smelled, how she moved, simply everything. They went over to Naomi and Addison.

Derek sat down next to Addison and Mark next to Derek. Addison`s head was still on the table. Mark looked wired at her, "She didn't drank that much. What's the matter with her?"

"We ate a lot of chocolate and she still has a sugar shock", Naomi said laughing.

Mark laughed, "You women are really crazy."

Derek looked at Addison, "Do you want some coffee?"

Addison lifted her head, "You have coffee?"

"Yeah. I just bought it."

"What coffee."
"Nothing special, just coffee."
"With sugar?"

"No, it's black."

Addison sighed, "Great, I would love that."

Derek gave her the coffee. Addison looked at him, "And this is really ok. You don't want it?"

Derek laughed, "You seem to feel worse then I do, so the coffee is all yours."

"Thanks Derek", she smiled at him and he returned the smile. God, even when she felt bad she looked too gorgeous to be true. He would totally love to pull her closer and kiss her, but he couldn't do that. She was beautiful and smart he didn't even know if she was interested. In this moment the course started and they didn't have much time to talk.

XXXXXXXXXX

They next days went by very quickly and it was becoming Saturday very soon. Addison and Derek wanted to meet in front of the med building at 11.00 a.m., Addison was just getting ready.

"Nae!", Naomi heard Addison's desperate voice. She rushed to her room.

"What's the matter?"

"I don't know what I should wear."

"I thought you and Derek were just friends", Naomi smirked at her friend.

"Nae", Addison whined.

"Ok …", Naomi went to Addison's walk in closet and came back with a tight jeans, a purple top and matching purple shoes.

"You should wear this."
"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, he shows you New York, so you need something comfortable, so a jeans is perfect and this jeans shows your sexy ass really good and the purple top matches the jeans perfect, also the shoes. They aren't that high, so you can walk around without any problems, but still wear heels."

Addison nodded and got dressed. Naomi looked at her and gave her a necklace.

"Yeah, that's good. He will so totally like this and if he doesn't, he really is an idiot."

"Thanks Nae."

"Yeah, sure. Go girl and I expect to hear every detail when you come back."

Addison grabbed her bag and smiled at Naomi, "Sure, but there won't be much to talk about."
"Oh come on, you look so damn hot, when he doesn't try he's an idiot. I would try if I were a boy."

Addison laughed, "Thanks. So what are you doing?"

"Don't know, but I still need some books, so I think I will go book shopping."
"Have fun."

They hugged and Addison left the flat.

Meanwhile Derek was nearly ready, Mark popped into his room, "Hey, you're excited?"

Derek looked at him nervously, "Why should I be excited?"

"You`re going out on a date with Addie."
"It's not a date … I just show her around. We're friends."
Mark grinned, "I expect to hear every detail about your new girlfriend when you come back."

"Sure, but there won't be much to tell."

"If you say so … See you later."

"Sure", Derek told Mark and left the flat.

A few minutes later he got to the place where he and Addison wanted to meet. He was relieved that she wasn't there, because he would hate it when she would be here before him. A few minutes later Addison came up to him, smiling, "Sorry, I'm late."

They hugged. "I came only a few minutes before you, so don't worry."
"Ok. So where do we go?"

"I won't tell you, it will be a surprise. You want to go?"

"Sure", she smiled at him brightly and he picked up his courage to grab her hand and was relieved she didn't pull away, but smiled at him even more brightly.

Derek showed her his favorite places, where he and Mark used to go in Central Park and the Broadway. Addison was having such a good time, he told her about "his" city and they had fun, it was getting late, but Derek smiled at her, "I want to show you one more place."

"Ok."
They went upside the Empire State Building and had a really great view over the city.

"Oh god Derek, that's so great, you can look over the whole city", Addison couldn't turn her look from the city and Derek couldn't turn his eyes from Addison.

"Yeah, I like it here a lot too."

Addison smiled at him and noticed the viewfinders, "Oh, I love viewfinders."
Derek laughed, "You do?"

"Yeah, they're great." She went over to one and wanted to put some money inside that she could see through it, but Derek was quicker and put money inside, because of that they were standing really close and were looking into each other eyes. Derek picked up the courage again to lean in a bit closer that their lips nearly touched. They looked at each other and he leaned forward the last bit and his lips captured hers. He never tasted something more sweet than her lips and she kissed him back. He felt like in 7th heaven. He pulled her closer in a tight embrace. They couldn't stop kissing, slowly her tongue touched his and they were dancing with each other in perfect harmony. Derek didn`t think he kissed someone before who could kiss better than her and she thought the same about him.

They finally pulled apart and opened their eyes and looked at each other. Derek pulled her hair from her face, "I like you a lot Addison."

She smiled at him, "I like you a lot too Derek."

He smiled at her more brightly than he thought he ever smiled at anybody, "I have a question, maybe it's stupid, but …"
"Just say it Derek."
"I … Do you want to be my girlfriend?"
"This isn't a stupid question and I would love to be your girlfriend."
"You sure?"

"Don't ask stupid questions, kiss me."

He leaned again forward and they kissed. They turn apart finally and he smiled at her, "You know I prepared a picnic."

"Here?"
"Yeah … my uncle works here, he helped me a bit."

Addison embraced him, "Oh my god Derek, that's … too much."
"Just the best for you."
"You're sweet."
"You bring out the best in me."

They sat down together and enjoyed their picnic. They ate, laughed, had fun and kissed a lot.

A few hours later they were on their way back to Addison's apartment. Addison felt uncomfortable, because Derek still didn't know where she lived. She sighed, "Derek", she said slowly.

He smiled at her, "Yes."
"You know, I could go home alone from here."
"It's dark and I don't want you to get lost. I'll bring you home."

"… There's something I have to tell you."

Derek looked at her closely and was afraid that he had done something wrong, "What's the matter Addie?"

"I … you don't know my whole name."

"What?"

"Derek I … my whole name is Addison Adrienne Forbes-Montgomery."

"You're a Forbes-Montgomery?"
"Yeah, I am."
Derek sighed and shrugged her shoulders, "Ok. So I think you have a nice flat."
"Yeah … my parents donated me one when I started med school."
"Cool", Addison still looked unsure at him, "Addie, I really don't care that much. So you're rich. Whatever, I like you. I don't like your money or something like this. You're the most sweet, beautiful, intelligent and caring person I ever met."

Addison smiled at him relived, "Thanks."
"What for?"
"For not being mad."
"Even if I would want to be mad, I couldn't be, because I think I really fell for you."

"You know I fell for you too."

"I was a bit afraid I would be the stupid jerk who tried on the most gorgeous girl."

"You're not a jerk."
"I was at high school."

"Me too."
"Don't tell such untrue things."
"It's true, my hair looked liked it was exploded, I had braces and glasses and I really don't want to talk about my clothes. It was really bad."

Derek laughed, "I can't imagine that, but even if you looked like that, I would still be in love with you."

Addison laughed, "You're really sweet."
Derek kissed her, "It's the truth."

A few minutes later they stood in front of the building Addison and Naomi lived.

"So, we're at my home."

Derek looked, he was quiet impressed. The building was modern and looked really expensive.

"So, I think it's good night."

"Yeah, it is. Good night Derek."

"Good night Addison", he leaned forward and caught her lips.

She smiled at him, they kissed one last time and Addison went inside.

I know it was maybe a bit cheesy, but it was really much fun writing it and I was in a girly, cute, cheesy mute ... hope you like it and review.

Wish you all a snowy and beautiful advent.

XOXO
