Undiscovered

Chapter 28 – Can You Hear Me?

"In five days I'll get to go home." Addison smiled as she laid against Derek's chest in her hospital bed, playing with his fingers.

"That's great, I'm glad to have you home again."

''Yeah me too.''

Derek smiled at her and pecked her lips softly.

''I can't wait to marry you.''

"You just can't wait to go shopping for the dress." He chuckled.

''Hmm that's true.''

Derek laughed.

''What kind of dress would you like to see me in?''

"Uhm, a white one?"

''What model I meant.''

"You're not marrying me for my fashion sense honey!"

''Come on I wanna know.''

"Strapless?"

''Yeah?''

"You just want me to list things so you won't ever wear them!"

''I do not!"

"Of course." He rolled his eyes at her.

''Really I just want to know what you like.''

"Well, you'll look amazing in everything."

''Thanks but that wasn't want I asked for.''

"Ads, you know how less I know about this."

''Well you know what you like don't you?''

"Yes, you." He gave her a charming smile.

''Der.'' She pouted.

"Let's make a deal, you get some of those ridiculous bride's magazines and I'll point at things I like?"

''Okay.'' She smiled.

"Thank you."

''No thank you. Do you want to stay in the country?''

"What?" He gave her a rather confused look.

''To get married.''

"Erm... since my family won't be able to afford tickets to far away, in the country would be good."

''Oh okay.''

"You okay with that?"

''Yeah I'm sorry I brought it up like that, that was rude of me.''

"No, it wasn't."

''Yes it was, I just forget things like that.''

"Don't worry about it." He gave her a smile and pecked her lips. She smiled back at him.

"Any other plans for the wedding?"

''Hmm want to get married for the church?''

"Of course, don't you?"

''I do.''

"Good, we agree on something." Derek chuckled.

''Yeah... think my parents will come?''

"Of course Addie."

''How do you know?''

"Because you're their only daughter and they love you."

''They think I'm a whore.''

"No, they don't."

''Yes they do and I'm not their only daughter remember?''

"Sorry."

Addison just shrugged. ''Bet they'd love to see her get married rather than me.''

"Come on, you know that's not true."

''Wanna bet? I bet if I asked them they'd even say so.''

"Addie, you don't know what she'd have done by now."

''Well she would most definitely not commit sins!''

"Addie, just calm down a little, okay?"

''I just want them to come.'' Tears filled her eyes.

"They will sweetie." He wrapped his arms around her.

''And I want her to come too.''

"I know, I'm so sorry."

''And I just want them to be proud.''

"They are proud of you,"

''They're not.''

"Well they should be."

''Why?''

"Because you're one of the most amazing people I have ever met."

''Why would they care?''

"Because you're their daughter."

''So?''

"They love you, even if they don't have a great way of showing it."

''I hope so...''

"They really do."

"I love you."

''I love you too.'' She said as the door opened. Derek looked up and saw Angelina and Tony entering. Addison watched her parents without saying anything. Tony gave his daughter and Derek a manly nod as they entered.

''Hey...''

"Hello." Derek said.

''Hi.'' Angelina said.

"So, we wanted to tell you that we're leaving."

''To Italy?''

"Yes, back home." He said coldly.

''Oh okay...''

Tony again nodded and looked at his wife. Angelina raised her eyebrow at him.

"Well, we are leaving then."

''Will you come to our wedding?'' She suddenly asked. Again Tony looked at his wife. She just pursed her lips together, it was up to him.

"Yes, we will come."

''Oh.'' Addison smiled a little. ''Thanks.''

"Well, after all we're paying for this."

''Since when?''

"Since the bride's parents always pay, it's a tradition."

''You're not paying for my wedding.''

"Yes we are."

''No you're not.''

"How else do you want to pay for it?"

''I have enough money on my bank account to get married at least four times.''

"And where do you think this money comes from?"

"Not from you."

"From who then? You have a job?"

''It's from grandpa and grandma!''

"And how does this make much difference here?"

''This is totally not the point!''

"No, the point is, you never worked for your money Addison."

''I'm in medical school!''

"Well, so are others and they have to pay for it themselves."

''How am I supposed to pay for it myself?''

"A job."

''When?''

"When other people work too! I had to pay for Princeton myself."

''I have college and I have to study, there is no time for work!''

"Well, it's not like you ever tried, now have you?"

''I'd have to work at night!''

"Sir with all due respect, it's pretty impossible." Derek defended his fiancée.

"So you never worked either?"

"No sir, I have."

''Where?'' Angelina asked.

"In a coffee shop."

''When?''

"Almost one year ago."

Addison smiled at him.

"And then school got a little too much."

Addison held his hand.

"I see." Tony nodded, he began to like Derek better.

''Dad I love Derek but that doesn't mean I don't love you anymore but suddenly you stopped seeing me as your little girl. Why?''

"Because you grew up."

''So that's why you hate me? Because I grew up?''

"We don't hate you Addison."

''It's feels like you do.''

"We don't, we're just disappointed."

''Why?''

"Because you did everything we taught you was wrong."

''But in my eyes it isn't wrong.''

"Then we disagree."

''But why can't you just be happy for me?''

"We are happy for you."

''No you're not.''

"We're happy you're getting married, but not for him fucking you senseless."

''Listen I'm sorry for saying that, or at least in that way.''

"Yes and Sir, I'm sorry too but she's really amazing."

Tony held his hands up. "I don't want to know how my daughter is in bed!"

Derek's eyes widened. "I didn't mean it like that!"

Addison rolled her eyes, trying not to laugh since the situation was serious. Derek didn't say anything, he had said enough. Addison kissed his hand. He smiled at her. Angelina smiled a little at the two.

"So, we should go."

''Yeah.'' His wife replied, not actually wanting to go yet.

"We'll see you soon I guess."

''Hmhmm.''

"Bye Addison." Tony walked over to hug his daughter. "Derek." They exchanged a manly handshake. "Sir." Derek nodded. Angelina hugged her daughter and gave her a kiss before she moved to hug Derek. Derek looked at Addison a little confused, hugging Angelina back. Addison just shrugged at him. They pulled apart. ''Bye.'' She said as they left.

Derek smiled at Addison.

''Well.'' She smiled back at him.

"See, told you they would come."

''Yeah you were right.''

"We should have had a bet..."

''Shut up.'' She chuckled.

"I'm totally serious here! I could've made money or something else like this." He laughed.

''Aah so you're really just after my money?''

"Nope, but I could have gotten you to do something."

''Like?''

"I don't know..."

''Liar.''

"Well, something that shouldn't be said in a hospital." He gave her a mischievous grin. She rolled her eyes at him.

"You love that about me."

''I love what about you?''

"All of me." He smiled smugly.

''Whatever.''

Derek had to laugh softly.

''Just shut up.'' She settled against his chest.

"Okay, okay." He placed a kiss on her forehead.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

''I want a baby with you.''

He looked at her, slightly startled.

''I know, I know. You don't yet.''

"Well, when do you want to?"

''Now, but I know you don't until after at least half a year.''

"Well, after we're married honey."

''I know.''

"That okay?"

''I guess.''

"You guess?" He raised his eyebrows at her.

''Yeah.'' She shrugged.

"Okay..."

''What?''

"Nothing."

''Okay.'' She gave him a confused look. He smiled at her. She gave him one back.

"I love you."

''I love you too, more than anything in the world.''

"Even more than this Manolo guy?"

''Hmhmm, even more than him.''

"That's great." He grinned.

''It is.''

Derek moved a little closer towards her. "So, you think we'll end up like Doctor Johnson and her boyfriend?"

''What do you mean?'' She asked confused.

"I don't know, like working together, walking in on patients..."

''I don't know.''

"I hope so, just not the patient thing."

''I'm going into neonatal and you neuro, how would we work together?''

"Fine, destroy the dream." He rolled his eyes at her.

''Sorry honey.'' She pecked his lips.

At the same moment Dr. Patrick Walters walked up to the OR board, seeing that his long time girlfriend was already there. She saw him in the corner of her eye, but ignored him, she wasn't in any mood to talk to him right now. She saw him in the corner of her eye, but ignored him, she wasn't in any mood to talk to him right now. ''Dr. Johnson.'' He cleared his throat.

"Is there something you need Dr. Walters?"

''Yes, we're expected in room 322.''

"Hmm, and why's that?" Sidney turned to look at him in curiosity.

''We have a patient, that sometimes happen when you're a doctor.''

"Ah, don't you say." She gave him a look, clearly still pissed.

''Yes she's at the IC, where you work and she's a neuro patient and I happen to be a neurologist, coincidentally, really.''

"I am coming." She said coldly, she expected an apology.

''Good.'' He started walking.

"Why don't you even apologize?" She called after him.

''For what?''

"Remember last night? The on-call room?" She raised an eyebrow.

''When I got paged away?''

"Yes, exactly then."

''Why would I? I didn't page myself did I?''

"Because it was the second time in one damn night!"

''Not my fault.''

Sidney shot him a death glare.

''We'll talk later okay, let's just get to the patient.''

"Fine."

''Thank you.''

"Hmhm." She walked towards him, god how she hated being mad at him. He rested his hand of her back. Doctor Johnson looked up at him, a slight smile etching over her lips. He gave her a smile back as they entered their patients room.

"Do you have the chart?" She whispered.

''It's in the room.''

"Oh... right." She blushed slightly. "Good morning Miss Fischer."

''Hello.'' The young blonde girl gave them a smile.

"I'm doctor Johnson and this is Doctor Walters."

''I'm Lynn Fischer.''

"So, we're here to figure out what's wrong with you, so you have to answer some questions for us."

''Okay.'' She nodded. Sidney looked over at her boyfriend, he was going to ask the questions.

''Okay, could you explain what happened?''

"Well, I couldn't feel anything in my toes after running and it's getting worse."

''Is it going from your toes up or did it start in other places like arms etc?''

"No, only in my toes." Sidney looked over at her boyfriend, a slightly concerned look on her face.

''It's spreading or not?''

''Okay.'' He nodded. ''Could you describe the feeling?''

"There is no feeling, numb."

''Do you feel it if your toes are being touched?''

"No, nothing."

''Can you move your toes?''

"Yes, I can, but not all the time."

''I see.'' He scribbled it down. ''And this started after you went running?''

"Yeah, or during, I wouldn't know."

''And did any other complications occur that time?''

"Nope."

"Any obvious weakness and/or muscle atrophy?" Sidney asked.

''Yes.'' Lynn nodded.

"Was this is followed by twitching, cramping, or stiffness of affected muscles?"

''Yes, all of those.''

"Alright, would you excuse us please?"

She nodded as the two doctors walked out. Sidney turned to look at Patrick. "Also thinking Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis?"

''Yeah.'' He nodded. She sighed and ran her fingers through her hair. "Well, no test can provide a definite diagnosis of ALS, although the presence of upper and lower motor neuron signs in a single limb is strongly suggestive."

''We'll have to see what happens further if it really is ALS she won't be able to move her toes anymore soon because of muscle dying.''

"Well, she'll die in about twenty years! Since Riluzole is only believed to reduce the damage, how do you tell someone her age that she has twenty years, tops?"

''I don't know.'' He sighed, running a hand through his hair. ''If it really is ALS in the end she'll only be able to move her eyes in the end.''

"It won't come that far, the heart, remember? Only the lungs still work." She looked up at him.

''In studies there have been people who did actually made it to the eyes but I don't know if that is actually a positive thing.''

"Yeah. What do we do? Run the tests before telling her anything?"

''Yeah and get her to contact someone, she'll need it.''

"But not right now, I mean it'll only upset her if we call an emergency contact."

''Sid she's like twenty something, she has to have someone right now, especially when we're running the tests.''

"Yeah, I guess you're right. But what do we tell her emergency contact?"

''That she's been admitted?''

Sidney nodded. "Are you going to or both of us together?"

''Both?''

"Okay."

''I'll tell her we will be back later.''

"I'll wait out here, k?"

''Yeah.'' He went back inside.

"Derek Shepherd? Seriously, does it say Derek Shepherd?" Sidney looked up in disbelieve.

''What?'' Patrick asked confused.

"My patient's fiancé's name is Derek Shepherd."

''What patient?''

"Addison Montgomery, hit by a car. The redhead who made out with her fiancé the other night in bed."

''Oooh the hot one.''

Her eyes widened and she frowned at him. "She's hot?"

He shrugged, nodding.

"Girlfriend, right here!" She pointed at herself.

''I know honey.'' He chuckled. ''You're still the hottest to me.''

"I am?" Sidney raised an eyebrow unconvinced.

''You are.'' He pecked her lips.

"Good." She pecked him back.

''Hmm call the contact person now.''

She pouted at him, after all it was lunch break... well, soon.

''Chop chop.''

"I don't like you."

''I know, you love me.''

She stuck her tongue out, knowing he was right. He laughed at her.

"Shut up!"

Back in Addison's room Addison sat in Derek's lap as they were making out. He moaned rather loudly as his cell phone started to ring. She grinded her hips against his erection. ''Don't answer.''

"Addie." He moaned again, debating whether to answer or not. ''Hmm.'' She slid her hand down in his boxers. Derek began to suck on her neck, leaving a hickey. She closed her eyes, stroking her fingers over the skin of his dick. A loud moan left his lips as he rolled them over, settling above her. She started to unbutton his jeans. His hands wandered down her body, his lips following the path his hands had previously mapped. She bit on her lip to muffle her moans. He moved his kissed up the insides of her thighs, sucking on her skin from time to time. ''Derek.'' She moaned out, pushing his head away. Derek gave her a confused look.

''I want you inside of me.''

"And what else do you want?" He raised an eyebrow.

''You.''

"No dirty talk, huh?"

''I want you to put your hard cock into me now.'' She rolled her eyes. He gave her a mischievous grin and dragged her panties down her legs, waiting for her to kick them fully off. She lifted up her body, shrugging off her underwear. He pushed his own boxers off, settling atop of her.

''We don't have condoms.''

Derek sighed, looking at her. "We need them?"

''Well not for me, you know that.''

"Then we don't need them."

She smiled at him. He smiled back at her, kissing her again. She kissed him back, wrapping her arms around his waist, pulling off his shirt. His hands roamed her body. She spread her legs for him. He settled between her legs, sliding his hand between their bodies to get her hot. Her breathing started to quicken. He started to run his fingers over her clit.

''Derek.'' She cried out. He smirked, continuing to rub her. Her nails dug into his skin as she wrapped her legs around him. Slowly he removed his hand and thrust his hips forward, entering her a little at a time. She tightened her legs, pushing him in further as she couldn't wait anymore. Derek moaned lowly and started rocking his hips against hers. She moaned loudly, pulling him closer as she needed the closeness.

Suddenly the door swung open. Neither of them noticed as Patrick and Sidney walked in. Sidney's eyes widened. ''What?'' Patrick gave her a weird look as he stopped talking. She only stared forward, unable to form words or look away. He turned to look at what was so interested, his jaw dropping.

"Erm, excuse us." She cleared her throat after a bit. Addison pushed Derek back mortified.

He pulled a sheet up to cover both of them.

"Erm, we'll come back later..." Sidney quickly turned around and pulled Patrick with her.

''Oh my god.'' Addison closed her eyes, this couldn't be happening.

"That didn't jus happen, did it?"

''Oh my god.'' She repeated.

"Did you just see the same as I did?" Sidney looked at her boyfriend in horror.

''Your patient doing it with her boyfriend? Ya.''

"Oh god." She squeezed her eyes shut and shook her head. "Sex in the hospital... that's..."

''Sexy.''

"What?" She gave him a weird look.

''Nothing.'' He rolled his eyes. ''I have my rounds so I have to go, go in after a few minutes again.''

"No! I won't enter this room again! Ever!" She protested.

''You're doing your job here, you have to.''

"Nope, I have lunch break after rounds."

''Then page someone.''

"Page for?"
''Getting emergency contact.''

"We can do that after lunch."

''I have rounds, right now.''

"Me too, rounds, lunch and then we go back in there." She had a disgusted look on her face and pointed at the room.

''Okay, well gotta run now. See ya.''

"Yeah, see you for lunch?"

''Yeah probably.''

"Okay." She pecked his lips.

''Bye.''

"Bye." She turned around to get to rounds. He went to do the same.

"Okay, so she caught us how often? Twice?"

''Once making out and now...''

"Greatttt."

''Yeah just our luck.''

"Very true, but hey, maybe they knock the next time."

Addison rolled her eyes, pulling her panties back on.

"What? I'm tryin to see the silver line here."

''And why?''

"Because you're a pessimist."

''No I'm a realist.''

"Of course."

''Mhm now put your pants back on honey.''

"Okay, okay." He got dressed again.

''Thank you.''

"So, what do we do now?"

''Hope Dr. Johnson and Walters have affective amnesia?''

"Orrrr they didn't see much."

''Maybe your butt but nothing of me.'' She gave him a big smile.

"Oh shut up!"

''Don't worry honey, you have a cute butt.''

"I hope so."

''You do.'' She smiled. ''And it's mine.''

"I know." He pecked her lips.

''Hmm don't bother to give me a compliment.'' She rolled her eyes.

"What? You're the most beautiful and intelligent woman I have ever met, but come on, that's a given."

''Hmm is it?''

"Of course, everyone knows that."

''Like who?''

"I said knows and not says." He grinned at her.

''You're so making stuff up to shut me up.''

"Nope."

She raised her eyebrow.

"I'm not baby." He pecked her lips.

''Thanks.'' She gave him a smile, pecking his lips back. He smiled and pecked her again.

''I loves you.''

"I loves you?" He laughed.

''Yes.'' She smiled.

"Well, I loves you too, the mostest most."

''Hmm.'' She ran her hand over his chest. Derek smiled and kissed the top of her head.

After a while Dr. Johnson came in again and Dr. Walters was behind her. Addison closed her eyes and sighed.

"So... sorry about before, I guess..." Dr. Johnson said, shifting awkwardly.

''Yeah...'' Addison looked away.

"But anyway, Mister Shepherd, do you know a Lynn Fischer?"

"Erm, yes I do, why?"

''You're her emergency contact person?''

"I am what?" He gave them a confused look.

''You're her emergency contact person.''

"I- I didn't know that. What's wrong? Is she alright?"

''Erhm she's been admitted.''

''Who is she?'' Addison asked.

"An ex girlfriend, we dated quite a while ago. What happened?"

''We think she might have ALS.''

"As in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis?"

Sidney Johnson nodded her head.

"Oh god..."

''Yeah...''

"Can I- I mean, can I see her?"

''What?'' Addison asked immediately, what was this?

"Well, we still have to run some tests and we'll let you talk in private, okay?"

Addison just looked at Derek.

"We'll be back in an hour." She walked out.

''Derek?''

"What?"

''Who is this Lynn?''

"She is an ex-girlfriend, we dated for about three weeks and yeah."

''Why are you her emergency contact person?''

"I don't know, I didn't even know I am."

''Then why do you want to see her?''

"Because she obviously has no one."

''Derek I'm your fiancée.''

"So?" He didn't exactly get her.

''So that means you're here for me, not some girl you knew for three weeks.''

"Addie, don't be like this."

''Be like what?''

"Jealous. Just let me see her, okay?"

''I'm not jealous! I just don't get why suddenly you need to see her.''

"Do you know what ALS is?"

''Yes I do, do you know what a coma is?''

"Oh come on!"

''Come on what?''

"ALS is horrible and she doesn't have anyone! Be a nice person and just stop being jealous."

''Oh and I do have someone?''

"Yes, you have me!"

''Yeah who is leaving now to see an ex!''

"Look, I'm here 24/7! So, if you want me to or not, I'm gonna go see her, just at least try to get why I have to!" He got up. She looked at him shocked, fear washing over her.

"I'm not leaving you, ever but I have to see her, it's what people do, show compassion." With this Derek left the room. She felt tears filling her eyes as he left her room.

"So, ex-girlfriend, must be quite bad." Sidney took a bite of her sandwich.

''What do you mean?''

"Well, if your emergency contact would be an ex-girlfriend I wouldn't find that really great."

''You'd be mad?''

"Hmm, who is your emergency contact?"

''My sister, yours?''

"You."

''Yeah?''

"It's not a problem, is it?"

''No, I should change mine to you.''

"No, you don't have to, I just don't have anyone else."

''But I want to.''

"You do?"

''Yeah.''

Sidney smiled widely at him. He smiled back at her. ''I'm off now.''

"Hmm?"

''So I'll go home after lunch."

"Oh, right, that's what you get for getting paged during sex?" She raised her eyebrows at him.

''Apparently.''

"Great, I only have to check on a few patients and then I'm off too."

''Cool.''

"Uhuh, we could catch up on sleep."

''Right.'' He grinned.

"I don't mean sex, I mean sleep, before you get paged again."

''It's not like I get paged all the time.''

"You did, five times this week."

''Coincidence.''

"Of course, and seriously I was so close each time." She huffed.

''Sorry hun.''

"Well, you can make that up to me later."

''I will.''

"Good." She leaned in and pecked his lips. He smiled.

Derek knocked on the door of room 322.

''Yes?''

He opened the door. "Hey."

''Hey.'' She looked at the person walking in, her eyes widening.

"Remember me?"

''D?''

"Yep, I'm your emergency contact."

''Seriously?''

"Yeah."

''I don't remember doing that...''

"So, how are you feeling?"

''Uhm... okay I guess.''

"Did the doctors tell you anything yet?"

''No... did they tell you something?''

"No, sorry." He decided it was for the best not to tell her. "How have you been the past five years?"

''Good, good, you?''

"Good, I'm engaged."

''Engaged, really?''

"Yeah." He nodded and stepped inside.

''Wow.''

"Lot of things have changed I guess."

''Yeah... do I know her?''

"Erm... I don't know, Addison Montgomery?"

''Montgomery...'' She thought. ''Addison...'' Her eyes widened.

"What?" He gave her a rather confused look.

''From high school?''

"Uhm, yes."

''The one we made fun of...''

"Hey, she's a really great person. And not too keen on me being here right now..."

''Why not? And I don't want to offend you or anything but I find it hard to believe you're marrying... her.''

"Why is that so hard to believe?"

''She's...'' She tried to think of a polite answer. ''Not really the kinda person I picture you with.''

"Oh come on, she's amazing."

''We thought she was crazy.''

"She isn't, not at all, she's the most amazing person I've ever met."

''Okay.'' She nodded. ''Cool.''

"Yeah, you should meet her."

''Yeah, I'd love to.''

"She's in this hospital right now."

''She's here?''

"Yep."

"Why didn't she come in?''

"Because she's a patient here too, she got into an accident and was in a coma."

''Oh...'' Her eyes widened.

"She's awake now."

''That's good.''

"Yep." God this was awkward.

''I hope she's okay?''

"Yeah, she is now." He smiled.

''That's good.''

"Yeah, but how are you feeling? Since I'm your emergency contact and all."

''I'm fine, why aren't you with her?

"Because I'm your emergency contact." Derek shrugged his shoulders.

''Okay, I'm glad you're here.''

"Good, but I'm leaving in half an hour again. Do you want me to call anyone for you?"

''Oh... no, thanks.''

"Are you sure? Because I really don't mind."

''I don't have anyone to call right now so...''

"Oh, I'm sorry."

''Yeah well, my friends but they don't need to know I'm here, I don't want to worry them.'' She gave him a smile. ''Why don't you sit down?''

"Well, call your friends, it's the best thing to do."

''No, please.''

"Okay." He nodded his head.

She watched him sitting down. ''So...''

"So?"

''It's been a while...''

"True, at least you didn't end up in a hospital before."

''Yeah.'' She chuckled. ''I missed you.''

"You did?" This seemed a little weird now.

''Yeah...''

"Okay..."

''What?''

"Nothing, so how have you been?" Oh god he had asked that before.

''Uhm... fine.'' She gave him a weird look.

"Sorry, asked that before." He smiled sheepishly.

''Yeah... are you okay though?''

"Yeah, I'm good."

''Okay... you're acting kinda weird.''

"Why thank you."

''Seriously.''

"Yeah well, just haven't seen you in like forever."

''So?''

"Nothing."

She raised her eyebrow.

"Nothing, really, just that Addison was a little upset I came here."

''Why?''

"She's jealous."

''Why?''

"You're my ex-girlfriend."

''So?''

"Again, she's a jealous person."

''That's ridiculous. Why did we break up again?''

"I don't know..."

''Me either...'' She got lost in thought.

"Oh wait, you were dating me and someone else! That was why."

''Right... well I was pretty wild back then.'' She looked into Derek's eyes. ''Unlike now.'' She said almost promising. Derek chuckled. "Well, that's the past."

''Hmmm.''

"Yes?"

''What?''

"You said hmm and I thought you wanted to say something."

''I didn't, I was just thinking about us.''

"Us? There never really was an 'us'."

''There wasn't?'' She raised her eyebrow.

"No, you dated two guys so no, not really. We had fun, but no relationship."

''We did Derek.''

"Of course." He gave her a look.

''Are you saying we weren't?''

"No, we really weren't."

''Well, thanks.''

"Sorry, but did you really think we've had a real relationship?"

''Yes.''

"Oh."

''Oh?''

"Well, I thought it was just fun for you as well."

''It wasn't, I was going to choose you.''

"Hmm."

''Hmm what?''

"Nothing, I just don't really believe you'd have broken up with Chip."

''He meant nothing to me.''

Derek gave her 'I'm not buying it' look.

''I mean it D.''

"It doesn't matter, it was the past."

''Yeah...'' She looked away.

"So, any boyfriend you want me to call?"

''I don't have a boyfriend.''

"Two? Three?"

''None!''

"Okay, okay. I couldn't know that."

''Right.''

"So... how's school going?" He asked after an awkward silence.

''I'm not in school.''

"What?"

''I'm modelling.''

"Oh, since when?"

''One and a half year.''

"But why?" Derek looked at her, thinking that Addison looked better.

''But why what?''

"Why would you drop out of school for something like modelling?"

''I didn't drop out of school, I went modelling after college because it's my dream.''

"Oh."

''What?''

"Nothing, I just wouldn't have thought."

''That I would be a model?''

"Would want to be one."

''I always did.''

He nodded his head.

''So what are you doing?''

"Medschool."

''Really?''

"Yeah."

''Great.''

"It is and keeps me busy."

''I bet.''

"But it's really great."

"Hmhm."

''So how did you and... Addison get together?''

"We re-met in medschool."

''And she really changed... that much according to you?''

"What do you mean?" He gave her an annoyed look.

''Well you're engaged to her, you'd never engage the Addison I remember.''

"And why?"

''Oh come on we made fun of her all the time.'' She laughed.

"We were cruel."

''We were kids, everyone did it.''

"It doesn't change that it was mean."

''Whatever, that was ages ago.''

"Yeah..."

She looked at him.

"Well, I have to go now." He got up. "Was nice seeing you again."

''Oh, yeah. Will you drop by later?''

"Erm, maybe."

''Okay, see you.'' She smiled at him.

"Yeah, bye." He gave her a smile and walked out. She watched him leave.
