After dinner, Derek and Addison were in their hotel room. Addison was sitting on the bed, while Derek was sitting on the couch watching some sport highlights.
"You and Meredith knew each other during college right?"
He looked at her strangely, "Yeah."
"How close were you two?" She asked.
"What do you mean?" He tried to act the dumb part.
"You give each other a look and it kind seems like you two were more than friends."
Derek thought for a second, "We never dated."
Addison seemed satisfied and continued to read Vogue.

The next day was another fun day of planning with Derek and Addison. When Meredith got to her office, she was surprised to see only Addison.
"Hi Addison." Meredith said, trying to put on a smile.
"Derek's not going to make it today Lennox Hill called him and they wanted him in a surgery there."
"Okay then." Meredith got up from her seat. "We're working on invitations today, right?"
"Yeah, maybe it will be easier for you to listen today without my fiancée and your ex-boyfriend there." Addison smiled and walked outside.
"You know?" Meredith asked while catching up to her.
"I know everything, so this is going to be a fun couple a weeks until the wedding." Addison grinned.

Meredith and Addison walked in silence for a few moments until one of them finally spoke.
"How long did you and Derek date?" Addison asked.
"For … um …. 6 years."
"Did you love him?" Addison asked, persistently.
"Addison." Meredith said softly.
Addison shook her head, "No, I want to know. My fiancée called out your name last night in bed and I deserve to know this."
Meredith looked at her in shock.
"Yes, it's true. So please answer my question."
"Yes, I did love him but our relationship was complicated." Meredith finally admitted.
"Have you two been having an affair?"
Meredith quickly denied it, "We're not even friends anymore Addison, there's nothing that you need to worry about." Meredith took a deep breath, "Derek loves you Addison, in a way that he never loved me. I can tell that looking at the both of you; you guys are going to make it. You have this type of love that people search a lifetime to find. Derek loves you."
Addison smiled while wiping the tears from her face, "Thank you Meredith."
Meredith didn't like to lie or wish an engaged couple bad things but the moment Addison said that Derek had called out her name, she wished he was hers but it was too late.

Meredith and Addison had spent the entire afternoon going over minor details for the wedding.
Surprising, they both were having a good time. After sorting everything, they had decided to have dinner together.
After a few drinks, it was safe to say that they were a bit tipsy, Addison, having had more drinks than Meredith, was completely wasted.
"You know, I don't know if I want to marry Derek. He's not even that good in bed." Addison slurred.
"Really? I always thought that he was the best I had, you know that little thing he does in the shower with the bending?"
"Well after sleeping with Mark every so often, you can't get much better than Mark."
Meredith looked at Addison, "You're sleeping with Mark? As in right now?"
"As when Derek's in surgery or not in town yep I'm sleeping with my dirty manwhore."
"Um….wow….that's interesting."
Addison slumped over to Meredith, "But shhhhh, don't tell Derek, he doesn't know and I don't think he'll be too happy."
"No." Meredith shook her head, "He wouldn't be."

"So you and Cristina?" Derek asked Burke while they were out having drinks. Addison had called saying that she and Meredith were having dinner so he had invited Burke to go and have drinks.
Burke looked shocked, "How did you find out?"
"Addison and Meredith."
"How did Addison find out?" Burke asked.
"You were staying at the same hotel and Addison and I." Derek said nothing else.
"Ah! Meredith confirmed it?"
"The couch really? You guys couldn't make it to the bedroom?" Derek joked.
"I remember walking into our apartment one time and finding you and Meredith on the floor right in front of door." Burke shot back.
Derek turned red, "I have nothing to say in response to that."
"That's what I thought." Burke and Derek both started laughing.
