Thanks for the reviews. Addisex is coming soon as well as some sister time.
I don't own them
Addison stared after Alex. Her eyes burned a hole in the elevator door.
"What's got Cam so defensive?" asked Mark still smarting from her comment.
"You," replied Addison
"What is that meant to mean?" inquired Mark.
"You treat him like a slave Mark," said Addison dryly.
"I treat all interns like that," said Mark
"You didn't do that to Cameron," countered Addison
Marks looked speechless. Finally connecting his mouth with his brain he said "Why are you concerned about the way I treat Karev anyway."
"He's a good intern Mark and a decent guy, I'd had to see you beat that out of him," replied Addison in a sad tone
"Are you saying I'm not a decent guy?" asked Mark in an angry tone.
"Yes Mark I am," confirmed the redhead
"You think Karev is better than me?" said Mark incredulously.
"Yeah," retorted Addison
"But you are sleeping with me," said Mark confused.
"Yeah, and anyway why are you so concerned with the way Cameron talks to you," asked Addison trying to turn the subject away from Karev.
"I am her friend," stated Mark.
"Mark you don't have female friends," replied Addison
"How do you know who I am friends with?" Mark retorted.
"I know my sister and she wouldn't be friends with you," said Addison. Her words cut the plastic surgeon.
"Well she's probably sleeping with Karev," said Mark. In his eyes it was obvious the way Karev acted around her.
"She wouldn't," stated Addison.
"Well according to you he's a decent guy," challenged Mark
"Cameron would not sleep with a guy she barely knows, Alex wouldn't sleep with a girl he met in a bar who turns out to be his boss," replied Addison.
"How do you know what Karev would do?" said Mark. Their conversation was growing very heated.
"I just do," said Addison louder than she meant to
"How the hell do you care so much about that intern," bellowed Mark.
"You care about Cameron," said Addison in a loud enough voice that a nearby nurse shot them a warning glance.
"If you know him so well why don't you use him for sexual kicks since I am obviously not good enough," stated Mark in a tone between anger and frustation.
"I might just do that," said Addison in a steely tone and walked away.
Bedroom
Alex shivered. A draft was waking him from sleep. He opened his eyes and looked for the covers. He pulled the comforter toward him. In his sleepy state he realised he wasn't in his own bed. Next to him Cameron stirred. He had pulled the comforter off her. He was not used to sharing his bed. He usually left after the obligatory post sex snuggle. Apart from that one time with Izzie this was the first time he'd slept next to a woman. Cameron wriggled toward him seeking out warmth. He thought she would cling onto him but instead she curled into a ball at his side not even touching him. He looked over at the sleeping redhead. Maybe he was deluding himself with Addison. Cameron was perfect girlfriend material. He laughed internally. The old Alex Karev, the jerk, would never consider commitment and even if he had a girl like Cameron would have been out his league. He drifted back to sleep.
Several hours later he awoke to sunlight streaming in the window. He heard a voice coming from the kitchen. He smiled, she was singing along with the radio. Getting out of bed he headed toward the voice. Alex caught sight of her through the kitchen door. He paused in the living area. It was so bare with wooden floors, white walls and minimal furniture. The only thing that made it looked lived in were several framed photos. A few holiday snaps, Addison and Derek with a Christmas tree, a large group family shot. He picked one up. In it were three women. Addison, Cameron and their mother. Addison and her mother were seated on a sofa with Cameron on the floor at their feet. They all looked happy and content. They were three classy ladies and their wealth was obvious from the jewels in the photo. The mother had several large pieces on, Addison as expected had on her wedding jewellery and those diamond studs she always wore. He scanned to Cameron. She had a large emerald and diamond set ring on her left hand. On her fourth finger.
"People say she looks like our sister," came her voice.
Alex looked up and smiled at her. "Its obvious where you guys got the red hair from now. You all look so happy."
"We were. It was taken just before I graduated. I was so happy, everything planned, the world at my feet. Addie well she was successful. Mom was happy. Both her girls with her," said Cameron.
"Was Seattle in your plans?" asked Alex cautiously.
She looked at the floor. "Then no, according to my plan I should be raising babies by now."
"With your husband?" he guessed. Alex didn't know how far to push this. Normally he wouldn't have cared this much about a girl's past.
"Yeah with my husband," she replied.
"So you are out here because your marriage broke up?" he pushed.
"No. Totally different reason why I'm here," said Cameron.
Alex put the photo down and kissed her. She pulled away.
"Don't,"
"Why not?"
"Because we were a one or rather two night stand," said Cameron.
"And what if I want more?" replied Alex.
"I don't normally have sex with random guys," she countered.
"I meant…" She cut him off "You mean you want dinner and a movie, someone to hold hands with and go home with."
"Yeah,"
"No," said Cameron firmly.
"You don't think I'm capable of a relationship," he said in a sharp tone.
"I see the way you look at Addison. You aren't running away from what you feel for her by trying to be with me. I'm not being second choice again," Cameron said.
"She blew me off and slept with Sloan. Plus you are pretty great yourself," explained Alex.
"She is the itch you need to scratch. She might scratch it and the spell be broken or she might be the love of your life. You have to find out because you will always wonder what could have been," said Cameron emphatically.
