In memory of Mandy and Maria.
Rest In Peace.

Author´s Note: So, the lyrics might not fit, but I just love this song too much to not use it. Just downloaded the soundtrack of "Practical Magic".

Has anyone watched that???? Did ya like it?

Disclaimer: I own nothing, if I did they´d still be AddisonandDerek and not Addison and Derek, the divorced couple who pretty much hates each other. I don´t even own the song! Wish I did though.

A Case Of You

Just before our love got lost you said
I am as constant as a northern star
And I said, constant in the darkness
Wheres that at?
If you want me Ill be in the bar

The next day at the hospital wasn´t eventful for either Addison because all that was on their mind were not their patients or how to torture their interns like one might think. Their thoughts were focused on the last night and evening they had spent together.

Yes this night was even responsible for the door incident, like the interns jokingly called it. Addison ran right against the door, the door then swung open and hit the chief of surgery, Richard Webber.

"What the hell has gotten into you today?!" and this wasn´t the first time either Addison or Derek had heard this today.

On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue tv screen light
I drew a map of canada
Oh canada
And your face sketched on it twice

"Twenty bucks says she screwed Shepherd." Alex said, looking at his friends.

"You´re just such an asshole." Izzie rolled her eyes. She liked Addison Montgomery, after all, she worked with her every day.

"Still you slept with me." Alex gave her a cocky grin.

"For god´s sake, shut up! I can´t hear what they´re saying!" Christina gave them an annoyed look, pointing at Addison and Derek.

"Yang, you in?"

"Yeah" she said quickly, looking back at the two attending, or where they stood before. "Damn it! I missed it!"

"You´re such horrible people!" Izzie exclaimed and walked away.

"Bambi, what about you?" Both Alex and Christina looked over at George O´Malley.

George had to think for a moment, he was pretty sure that something had happened between the two doctors, but he wouldn´t bet on it "I´m in." he finally sighed, putting a 20 dollar bill on the table.

Oh you are in my blood like holy wine
Oh and you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you
I could drink a case of you darling
And I would still be on my feet
Oh Id still be on my feet

At lunch Addison and Derek sat at a table and were talking when Preston walked up to them.

"Hey, did you know there´s more money on what you did last night than on any racing horse in the entire country?" he was amused about this situation, Seattle Grace really was the most chatty hospital he had ever seen.

"What?!" Addison looked at him like he was completely out of his mind. Why would anybody bet on them? And why would they even suspect something had happened between them?

"Well since you´ve both not really been anywhere near good at hiding that you´re more than just friendly colleagues, they have bets on what happened." Preston explained, glad he wasn´t the center of everyone´s attention, like it was when he had begun to work at Seattle Grace.

"What are they betting on?" Derek laughed, he couldn´t understand why Addison was getting this anxious about everything. She could just roll her eyes at his question, a part of her still curious about the bets.

Preston grinned and bit the insides of his cheeks before answering his friends question "on either you had sex or not. And I gotta tell you, there are only like 40 dollars saying that you didn´t."

"Seriously?!" Addison couldn´t believe this, blushing as she only thought of what all the people, and especially the nurses, were gossiping behind their backs. Preston just nodded in return, he couldn´t hide his amusement about Addison´s reaction anymore. And neither could Derek. They burst out in laughed, though Derek quickly stopped when Addison shot him a warning glance.

"Honey, it´s not like they never would have found out about this." He tried to hide how much he wanted to laugh at the sour face she made, but knew she still noticed it.

"How can´t that not bother you?!" yes, she didn´t get him at all.

"So it bothers you that they know you´re with me?" the amusement had vanished out of his face and he raised his eyebrows at her.

"No! But it bothers me that you´re not even divorced! People don´t even the both of us are seperated! When you hear the gossip you probably just think 'well, this new attending from New York is quite a slut and the wicked witch of the east who wrecked a marriage'!" Addison knew it was lik this and she had left New York for a reason, she wanted a new start and this was probably the last thing she needed right now. Preston leaned back in his chair, feeling uncomfortable, but he guessed if he´d try to go they would both yell at him.

"Addison, you know it´s not like that." Derek could get why she was so upset about this, but he didn´t want to hide their relationship.

"Yes, I know, but they don´t! And this is my point! We haven´t told anyone and we could get into trouble for this." Addison had read the 'rules' the staff of Seattle Grace had to follow and not getting involved with colleagues was one of the things they weren´t allowed to, though pretty much no one follwed the rules anyway, especially this one.

"Maybe you´re right." He sighed. Derek wanted to shout from the rooftops that he was with Addison. He had never expirienced this kind of love before.

"Thanks. So we keep this private for a little while longer, alright? And I mean all of us." She gave Preston a look.

"Hey! I have no friends besides you two anyway! Who would I tell then?"

"Okay, thank you." Addison hated keeping her relationship private, but they had to.

Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
Im frightened by the devil
And Im drawn to those ones that aint afraid
I remember that time that you told me, you said
Love is touching souls
Surely you touched mine
Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time

"Addison?" she looked up and saw Richard Webber standing in front of her, still a bump on the forhead from when she had hit him with the door earlier.

"Yes?"

"I need to talk to you, could you come to my office in ten minutes?" Richard raised his eyebrows at the woman in front of him, waitning for an answer.

"Sure, I´ll be there as soon as I filled out the chart." Addison pointed at the chart on the desk and gave him a smile before he left.

About ten minutes later Addison quickly walked down the hall to the chief´s office. She had no idea what this was about, so she was just going for 'wait and see'.

Before she had even reached the door Addison saw Derek walking towards her and her jaw dropped, now she knew what this was about. Addison felt as if she would have a heart attack any second and just stared at him in disbelieve.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" Derek asked her smiling. Obviously he still hadn´t realized anything. Men. Was all Addison could think about this.

"Richard asked me to come." She said, pointing out what this talk would be about.

"No, he asked me to—" then she knew he had realized what this was about. "No, this can´t be, right? What the hell do we do?"

"I don´t know! But probably go in! He can see us talking. Let´s just see how it goes. Maybe he has no idea." Hope dies last. She thought to herself, closing her eyes briefly before entering the roomy office, the walls filled with endless bookshelves.

"Come in, come in." Of course Richard Webber knew about what was going on between his attendings, after all, he was the chief and had to know everything about everyone. But he decided to have a little fun of his own at first.

When Addison and Derek had taken a seat in front of the chief –it felt like getting ordered to the principal at school, including the butterflies in the stomach- he started talking "So, since you two are my attenings, well, two of them, I have to tell you about this first. There will be harder punishment for anyone who gets involved with a colleague." Richard took a moment to look at them. Addison shifted uncomfortably, probably already thinking about where she could work after getting fired and Derek. Richard had to do his best not to start laughing at the expression on the young man´s face. Pure horror, as if he had just seen a ghost. "Since this Syphillis outbreak we have to be more careful and strikt about those things, as you two probably understand." Both of them nodded.

Addison wanted to kick herself. This was the reason Richard had asked them to come. Maybe it was the best thing to just tell him about the relationship she and Derek had. She looked over at Derek and he caught her glance. Addison sighed and turned back to the chief, who just raised his eyebrows.

"Okay." She plastered on a smile and nodded. She would just quit then, everything for being with Derek. Well, she would quit if anyone would find out.

"You´re really willing to sacrifice your job?!" Richard called after her as she had just gotten up to leave.

Addison turned around and gave him a questioning look.

"Of course I know about the two of you! I mean, you think I´m really getting that old?!" Addison once again looked at Derek and then back at the chief.

"Does this mean I´m fired?" she spoke her mind. Addison didn´t know what else to say. She was sure she was fired, why wouldn´t he fire her?

"No, of course you´re not fired. You´re the best in your field and besides, not so awful to be around." Both Addison and Derek sighed in relieve and she gave Richard a smile.

"Under one condition." He continued.

"Whatever it is!" they said at the same time.

"Nothing can happen in the hospital!"

"No, of course not." Addison shook her head.

"Okay. You can both go now."

Oh you are in my blood like holy wine
And you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you
I could drink a case of you darling
Still Id be on my feet
And still be on my feet

"Thank god!"Addison sighed once they had walked out of the big hospital building in silence.

"Gosh I really thought I have to start looking for another job!"

"Yeah me too." Addison turned around so she was looking at Derek. She was so relieved that Richard didn´t fire them or anything. And she could see he was too.

"You want to come to my place?" he asked, pushing a strand of her auburn out of her face.

"Yeah, I´d like that." Addison laughed and pulled him down the way to her car.

"We could play Scrabble." Derek nuzzled into her hair, wrapping his arms around her.

"Or something else…" Addison pointed out, looking at him suggestively.

I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said
Color go to him, stay with him if you can
Oh but be prepared to bleed
Oh but you are in my blood youre my holy wine
Oh and you taste so bitter, bitter and so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you darling
Still Id be on my feetId still be on my feet
Mmmmmmm
