"Must be good." The voice said from beside her.
"Huh?" Izzie managed, her eyes trained on the OR before her.
"Whatever you're thinking must be good." The voice said. "Because the surgery finished about fifteen minutes ago." The last part was whispered into Izzie's ear, the warm breath coating her ear causing her to shiver. She was pulled out of her reverie and looked at the owner of the voice, she smiled shyly, realising she had been busted by her very new girlfriend. "So, was it?" Addison asked.
"Was it what?" Izzie replied, increasingly becoming lost in Addison's eyes.
"Good, was what you were thinking good?" the attending answered.
"More than good." Izzie smiled widely. She paused a moment in thought, "You have the most incredible eyes." She stated simply. Addison ducked her head, slightly embarrassed by the impromptu compliment. Izzie reached out her hand gently tilted Addison's head back up. She hadn't checked to see if there was any one else in the viewing gallery, but it was still early and she was fairly certain Addison would have warned her had they been in company.
"Don't hide them." The blonde stated.
"I'm not used to genuine compliments."
"Well, get used to it Montgomery because I am going to shower you with them."
Addison smiled a genuine heart warming smile. "And I'll let you."
"I want to kiss you right now. Not a crazy, wanna rip your clothes off kiss, although I wouldn't be adverse to such a prospect," she shook her head, "anyway, I digress, I want to touch your lips with mine, I want to slowly kiss you," Addison's eyelids grew heavy in response, her breathing quickened, she found herself leaning towards the younger woman who continued her verbal torture, "let my tongue dance with yours," Izzie too began to feel the effects of her own words, she slowly closed her eyes as she was talking, Addison's magnetism drawing her closer, "I want to feel my fingers in your hair," their mouths were mere millimetres apart, they could feel one another's breath against their lips, the blonde continued. "I want to feel your body against mine." It was enough to undo them both, all restraint of being in the work place flew decisively out of the window, a return looked unlikely as their lips finally met, Izzie's words evaporating and becoming a physical reality. The intern had her hands tangled in Addison's hair, their tongues locked in a foxtrot, their bodies gravitating toward one another. They remained like that, lost in the other, enjoying the feel of each other, minds drifting to the heated encounter they had endured earlier that morning before being rudely interrupted. Interrupted by the demands of work. Work. Where they were right now, Izzie was due on shift at any moment, she ran the risk of Bailey looking for her. The blonde intern yanked herself from Addison's grasp, leaving the redhead bewildered at the sudden movement, both doctors gasping for air.
"Bailey." Izzie explained.
"I kiss you and you're thinking of Bailey?" Addison exclaimed.
"No." Izzie swatted the older woman with a hand, "I'm on shift in like," she checked her watch. "Ten minutes ago. Shit." She jumped up from her seat. "And for the record, it was an incredible kiss and I was totally thinking of you and your hot body the whole time." She smiled goofily.
"You're too cute Stevens. Bailey might have your ass now, but it's going to be all mine later." She smirked.
Izzie frowned, "You need to work on those lines Dr Montgomery."
"Just get to work." The redhead scoffed.
"Stevens, where have you been?" Bailey barked, Izzie opened her mouth to answer, she had no idea what she would say, but it did not matter as Bailey continued her tirade, "I expect you here on time Stevens, maybe even a little earlier, but no, you roll in late, my other interns can make it on time, there's no excuse . . ." Bailey stopped when she heard someone behind her clearing their throat.
"Stevens was with me."
Bailey spun on her heel, "Excuse me?"
"Dr Stevens was with me."
Izzie smiled at Addison behind Bailey's back, who in turn spun back around to face the blonde, "Stevens?"
"Ma'am?"
"Is this true?"
"Yes, Dr Bailey, it is."
"Make sure you let me know next time."
"Yes Dr Bailey."
"Miranda, it's my fault, I'm sorry."
"Well I'm not thrilled about you taking my interns."
"I'll be sure to ask next time." Addison smirked, knowing full well when she would take Izzie, she would not be asking Miranda Bailey. Izzie watched the thoughts pass Addison's blue eyes and had to steel herself from laughing, she reverted her eyes away from the redhead, training them on anything and everything, trying to rid her head of the thoughts that reigned. Addison caught her and smiled again, the blonde was adorable and continued to prove that fact.
"Thank you Dr Montgomery, I can take it from here." Bailey said when the attending made no attempt to move, it took all her might for the redhead to tear her eyes from the blonde intern. She turned and left a group of bewildered young doctors confused by the weirdness of the situation.
The morning had breezed by, the hospital was buzzing as usual, the patients unrelenting in their demands. Lunch time had been uneventful, the interns moaning about cases and other doctors, particularly Izzie who had been with Bailey all day. The afternoon rapidly rolled on, the blonde intern found herself beginning to clock watch during a lull.
"Hey." Addison greeted as she stopped next to Izzie at the nurses station.
"Hey yourself." The blonde smiled.
"What are you upto tonight Stevens?" Addison used the intern's surname as a couple of nurses stopped by.
"Oh," Izzie looked around before answering, "I have a hot date tonight." Addison smirked.
"You do?"
"Oh yeah."
"Anyone I know?" Addison raised her eyebrow.
"You might do."
"Going any where nice?"
"I'm not sure yet, it depends where my date chooses to take me."
"You're trusting your date?"
"Oh yeah, my date has impeccable taste."
"Are you sure about that?" Addison enquired, intrigued by Izzie's thought process.
"Positive, my date is soooo classy and sophisticated and is truly the most caring, sweetest and not to mention brilliantly intelligent person on the planet." Addison gazed at Izzie, she was lost in the brown eyes before her, Izzie's words resonating in her head.
"You're a lucky girl." One of the nurses said to the intern. It took a moment for Izzie to register she was being spoken to.
"I am." She said as she continued to look into her girlfriend's eyes. Addison realised the very public place in which she was entranced and cleared her throat, hoping to clear her mind also.
"Erm, can I have a word with you Dr Stevens? It's confidential." The attending said in a serious tone.
"Sure." Izzie said frowning slightly. She followed the redhead to a secluded corner. "Is everything ok."
"Everything's fine Iz. I didn't expect you to say those things."
"Well they're true."
"And now everyone's going to think you're dating a guy that only exists in movies." Addison laughed.
"Well I know better."
"I have a lot to live up to."
"Just be yourself and you won't have to try." Izzie smiled. Addison blushed.
"I don't think I can handle all these compliments." The redhead admitted.
Izzie placed a hand on the attending's arm, "You deserve them."
"Ok, I'm going to skilfully switch topic now," Addison smiled, "I want you to dress smart casual tonight and be ready at eight, I'm going to pick you up."
"Smart casual, what does that mean?"
"Wear something to impress."
"Ok, I think I can manage that. Are you going to tell me where we are going?"
"No." Addison said matter-of-factly, "it's a surprise."
"I like surprises."
"Then you won't be disappointed." The redhead smiled. Izzie opened her mouth to speak when she was cut off by Addison. "I know you are going to compliment me again, you don't have to." She smiled.
"Am I that predictable?" Izzie groaned.
"You're beginning to be." The attending laughed.
"I'll have to change my game plan." The blonde sighed. Addison laughed at Izzie over exaggerated sigh and subsequent pout.
"You don't need one Stevens. You have me." Izzie blushed at Addison's words, they were simple yet conveyed the deepest meaning to the blonde. The blush rapidly transformed into a beaming grin, one which seamed to plaster her face more often than not.
There were clothes strewn everywhere, not an inch of bed could be seen beneath the patchwork quilt that was Izzie's entire wardrobe. She huffed as she looked at the carnage she had caused, this was worse than any emergency room she had seen. Her reverie was interrupted by a knocking. She scurried down the stairs as fast as her heels would take her, hoping on this one occasion she would keep her balance, she didn't want her first date with Addison being spent in aforementioned emergency room. The blonde reached the door, patted down her simple, yet elegant deep navy dress, adjusted her bra straps and had one last deep breath before pulling the door open toward her. Before her was the most exquisite sight to befall her. She stood in awe, mouth agape, not able to breath a single word, Addison was simply divine in her deep crimson dress, perfectly complimenting that of Izzie's. Her auburn hair hung over her shoulders, her blue eyes glistening under the porch light.
"Are you going to invite me in or are you going to stand there gawping all night?" Addison smiled.
Izzie shook herself out of her stupor at the sound of Addison's velvet voice, "I'm sorry, come on in." she said as she gestured for the attending to enter.
"No housemates tonight?" Addison said looking around for signs of life.
"No, thankfully, they're out doing various . . . things, I don't pay much attention. Except to you, you look amazing by the way."
"Come here." Addison said with a cocky grin. She didn't have to ask twice, Izzie was before her in a shot. The redhead appraised the younger woman before leaning in close and whispered through the blonde hair, "You're beautiful." Izzie blushed and instantly shivered at the contact of Addison's breath against her skin. "And I'm going to kiss you." The blonde had little time to react as she found the redhead's lips upon hers in a heartbeat. It was gentle and caring, Izzie could feel Addison's slick lips against her own before her tongue forced entry into her mouth. The blonde groaned as Addison pulled them closer together, unrelenting in her want for the younger woman. Becoming breathless at their encounter, they reluctantly pulled apart, knowing they had a date awaiting them. Izzie smiled shyly at Addison.
"Where are we going?" she asked sweetly.
"It's a surprise." Addison said, her eyebrow cocked. She reached into her purse and pulled from it a silk scarf. Izzie's brown eyes widened as a million and one thoughts raced through her mind as to what she could do with that scarf and with Addison.
The attending turned the blonde around slowly and placed the scarf over her date's eyes, tying it carefully behind Izzie's head. She leaned forward and whispered in Izzie's ear, "Ready for our date?"
Izzie's gulp was her only audible response.
