Thanks for all the reviews. I'm glad you like evil-Addie. I hated how she just settled for the way Derek treated her on the show AND then told Meredith that he'd never hurt her and take all the blame. Seriously? McDreamy is a jerk and Addison needed to tell him that and sort things out with him. She still does. My heart is still hoping for an Addek reconciliation… anything is possible, right? Anyway, some sexual tension with my favourite couple here…

Michael checks his watch quickly before looking up at Izzie, who is playing with Brad and Ashley.

"Hey. It's time to take them to the day care centre. You want to come with?"

Izzie bites onto her lip nervously.

"I'd love to… but… I have rounds."

"Who's your resident?"

"Miranda Bailey, but…"
"I'll take care of it."
"Michael…"

"Hey, I'm an attending and you're my intern for the day. That's all she needs to know."

"Okay, if you're sure…"

"I'll even let you scrub in later. I just can't handle them alone in the car… not while I'm driving."

"Okay then."

"Great."

He hands her his car keys, grinning.

"You wait by the car. I'll be right there."

He kisses her on her cheek before rushing off to find Miranda Bailey. He spots her talking to Meredith Grey and shrugs before approaching her.

"Dr Bailey!"

"Yes?"

She turns around, eyeing him suspiciously and he smiles.

"I'm Michael Montgomery, the new vascular surgeon."

"Yes?"

"I just wanted to tell you that Dr Stevens is under my service today so she won't be attending rounds."
"Is that so?"

"Yeah. Any problems and you can clear it up with the chief."

He rushes off before she can reply and Bailey stares at his retreating figure, speechless for the first time in her life.

"Well now!"

She stalks off angrily, ignoring Meredith. Meredith shrugs before picking up the charts and rushing off after her resident.

George, Alex and Cristina all look up when Meredith enters the locker room. George frowns, looking worried.

"Mer, have you seen Izzie?"

"She's with Dr Montgomery."
All the heads shoot up, staring and Meredith sighs.

"Dr Michael Montgomery. The new vascular surgeon."

Cristina shakes her head jealously.

"If she gets to scrub in on a vascular surgery, I'm slitting my wrists. How did she get that?"

"I don't know. He just told Bailey that she was his intern for the day."

"I hate her!"

Cristina pouts and Meredith sighs, sliding down against the wall.

"I called Derek this morning."

"Yeah? So?"

"He was weird."

"Probably something to do with his father in law showing up."

Alex laughs at Cristina's statement, shaking his head.

"He's so over that. I bet it has something to do with Mark Sloan feeling up his wife in the elevator."

"MARK SLOAN?"

Cristina's eyes widen and Alex nods, leaning his head back against the wall. George frowns, looking from Cristina to Alex.

"Who is Mark Sloan?"

Cristina just rolls her eyes and Alex smirks.

"He's just the go-to plastics guy in the country. I'd kill to work with him."

"Step off, Evil Spawn."

"I saw him first!"

Meredith frowns, bumping her head against the wall.

"He was feeling Addison up?"

Alex nods, smirking at her.

"Yeah. He couldn't keep his hands off her and she seemed pretty willing herself. Shepherd was there too and he did not look too happy."

Meredith lifts her chin, glaring at Alex.

"Derek and I are together now. He doesn't care what Addison does."

"Believe what you want to. All I know, is that if I saw a guy touching my wife like that, I'd cut his throat with a scalpel. Even if we were getting a divorce."

He rushes off and Cristina puts her hand on Meredith's shoulder.

"Evil spawn is just sour because he's not getting any. At all."

"Yeah, but… why would Derek be like that this morning?"

"Did he tell you what went on with his father in law?"

Meredith shakes her head and Cristina looks at George, who sits down on the other side of Meredith, putting an arm around her shoulder.

"Apparently he went off at Dr Shepherd and said some horrible things… that's probably why he's in a bad mood. Because he has to face him again."

Meredith sighs, looking at the ground.

"Yeah. I mean… Derek picked me. So he wouldn't care if Addison and this Sloan guy went at it."
"Exactly."

Izzie checks her watch as she rushes into the hospital, Michael a few steps behind her.

"We shouldn't have stopped for coffee."

"Iz, relax! No one died, okay. They would have paged me. Now try to look normal, otherwise you're going to be caught."

He tenderly brushes her hair out of her face before quickly brushing his lips against hers.

"You looked like you needed a kiss."

"You're an attending."

"I know."
"You're not supposed to be a bad influence on me."

Michael grins, grabbing her hand.

"I'm not a bad influence! Come on, let's check on our patients."

Addison looks up when the elevator door opens, smirking smugly when Derek enters, frowning. He walks up to her, pressing his body tightly against hers and pinning her against the wall.

"Addison, what are you doing?"

"What are you talking about?"

"With Mark. What are you doing?"

She lifts a brow, smiling maliciously and slowly tracing the lines of his shoulders with her fingertips. She gaps when she feels his hand brushing against her hipbone and brushes her lips against his ear softly.

"Having… ridiculously… hot… sex."

He stares at her silently and she smirks, quickly running her fingers through his hair.

"Like rabbits. The whole time."

Derek swallows, looking at her red lips so close to his. Addison quickly brushes her lips against his before moving to his ear again, playfully biting it.

"Every time he touches me…"

She makes a trail of kisses down to his shoulder, raking her nails over his back.

"He makes me so… damn…"

She bites at his ear again before whispering the last word in a low, husky tone.

"Horny."

Derek groans, tentatively brushing his lips against hers. Addison pushes him back, shaking her head.

"In your dreams, Derek. I'm not that woman. We're over."

The elevator door opens and Addison walks out quickly, leaving Derek behind. He sighs angrily when he feels tears burning behind his eyelids.

Damn it.

The choice was made.

So why couldn't he let go?

Why did she still hold that power over him?
