Chapter 17: Day 16 of 28
Now that they're taking it a tad slower with the sex, Addison Montgomery and Meredith Grey take more time to really get to know each other.
"Hey," says Addison simply when she wakes up first.
"Hey," says Meredith as she spins herself around in Addison's arms.
Addison giggles as she gets her elbows caught in the blankets while turning.
"Do you know how you snore in your sleep?" Says Addison.
"No, why?" Says Meredith.
"I have no idea either. I'm asleep," Addison giggles.
"That's good. I always thought I was going to kill Derek from sleep deprivation," says Meredith.
"He always did wake up to everything," Addison sighs.
"It's so lucky that you sleep so soundly. It's comforting, actually. Sometimes I wake up and you're sleeping through the night and it calms me. It's really nice," says Meredith.
It suddenly dawns on them that after these 28 days are over, that they won't have a 'real,' reason to spend every night together.
The thought saddens them so much they push it away for now.
Meredith closes her eyes for a second to get another moment of shut-eye until she feels Addison snuggling close and grinding into her a little bit.
"Eager huh?" Meredith smirks as she flutters her eyes open.
"Just because I'm not ready for sex yet does not mean I'm not horny. God, you're so hot and you're here and we're in bed, and dancing last night and it's just such a battle you know? It's like, I want to give in and have sex but I know I'm not ready and we're not ready but now your thigh is warm and I'm wet and it's really hard to not like, use you as a human umm-" Addison rambles and she keeps grinding herself on Meredith's thigh.
"So does this make you a morning sex person?" Says Meredith with a giggle, allowing herself to enjoy the feeling of Addison dry-humping her leg for the moment.
"Probably, but that doesn't mean I'm not an afternoon sex person, or an evening sex person, I just like it like, all the time," Addison deadpans and then blushes profusely.
"Good. Because I'm still into all that like a teenager and I can't wait to be keeping up with you," Meredith smirks.
"Ohhh," Addison starts moaning against Meredith's hip.
"Umm, Addison, as nice as this feels, is this a bit too far or what?" Says Meredith tenderly.
"Probably? Maybe? I have no idea?" Addison squeaks as she keeps grinding into Meredith until Meredith moves a few inches away and stills Addison's hips.
"Addison, I really do want to do this with you but we gotta talk first," says Meredith.
"Mfhmmm," Addison grumbles and nods at Meredith while opening her eyes.
"It's just hard, I have all these feelings and sexual needs and desires and insecurities wrapped in so tight and I just want to escape it all," says Addison.
Meredith listens without interrupting and reaches out to smooth Addison's cheek with her hand.
"I hear that, it's a lot. This is a lot, and we used to be two people who used sex as an escape. It was our way of coping, or not-coping, or whatever it was. And as much as I crave you now I want us to be better than who we were," says Meredith wisely.
"How did you know I used sex as an escape?" Asks Addison.
"I just did, or I do? I don't know, the thought occurred to me at some point," says Meredith.
"When?" Asks Addison.
"Probably around the time you dragged Alex Karev into a supply closet," Meredith shrugs.
"That was over a decade ago," says Addison.
"You asked," says Meredith.
"Yeah, I did," says Addison.
"You did jump Alex," says Meredith, twinging with a bit of jealousy.
"I did," says Addison. "And I tried to rationalize it by saying that it was about Alex not really having a dad, or because I didn't want Mark in the end, or I have no idea but I guess I wanted Alex at the time because he didn't want me. He wasn't going to fall in love with me and I just needed to feel something from someone who wouldn't chase me," says Addison softly.
"Is this how you lost the 60-day bet with Mark?" Asks Meredith gently.
"You knew about that?" Says Addison.
"I guess I've been watching you for longer than I thought," says Meredith.
"I can still remember how I wanted you to remember about when you were on morphine for some reason," Addison confesses.
"You never did tell me what happened," says Meredith teasingly.
"Oh, I told you I don't hate you and you said it back or you said it and I said it back, and we were saying a lot of things," says Addison in a bit of a panic.
"I don't hate you, Addison," says Meredith. "I actually really like you," Meredith adds.
"I don't hate you either. I said it back then and I'll say it now," says Addison as she snuggles back into Meredith but platonically this time.
"Do you wanna be my little spoon until we have to get ready for work?" Meredith asks Addison.
"Yeah," says Addison as they curl up together.
Meredith wraps her arms around Addison tightly and Addison sighs.
The alarm is about to go off, but Meredith catches it before it does.
"Shower time?" Addison asks hopefully.
"Yeah," says Meredith as they undress and lay their clothes out for the day.
"Oh no," says Meredith.
"What?" Says Addison.
"I have no underwear!" Says Meredith.
"Panties lost on the bulletin board?" Addison teases.
"If it is then it's probably because of you!" Says Meredith teasingly.
"Probably," Addison smiles, glad they can joke about all of this now.
"I seriously have no clean underwear though," says Meredith.
"Do you want to borrow a pair?" Addison offers.
"Of your sexy boxer-briefs?" Meredith says shyly.
"Sure," says Addison. "I mean, we're washing them anyway, so why not?" Says Addison.
"Okay," says Meredith, redding and licking her lips at this idea.
"What color do you want?" Addison asks as she ruffles open her underwear drawer.
"Umm?" Meredith shrugs until she walks over to see Addison's underwear drawer and her mouth waters.
"It's a rainbow," Meredith giggles.
"Yeah, well I figured since I'm going gay and all," Addison also giggles.
"Did you do this recently or did you always arrange your undergarments by R-O-Y-G-B-I-V?" Asks Meredith.
"Okay, I always did," says Addison sheepishly.
"Neurotic," says Meredith.
"It's easier to match them this way!" Says Addison.
"See I love how you match your underwear to your outfits," says Meredith.
"So does this mean you're gonna match your underwear to your outfit today?" Addison teases.
"Do you want me to?" Says Meredith.
"No. I want it to not match so I'm the only one who knows it doesn't match," says Addison.
"What if I match yours?" Meredith asks.
"I also do not have enough clean laundry for that to happen," Addison shrugs.
"We really need to wash clothes tonight," says Meredith.
"We really do!" Says Addison.
This thought is never forgotten after a long day at work with Meredith getting hot every time she rubbed her thighs together remembering that she's wearing her girlfriend's boxers underneath her scrubs.
Luckily no one comments on this because Meredith crosses her legs a lot and eventually they are driving home.
"So you said you liked laundry?" Says Addison.
"Yeah," says Meredith. "Better than cooking," she laughs.
"Do you want help with it?" Asks Addison.
"Yeah I'm gonna make you wash all your stuff separately. Jokes! I have some help from you I have in mind…" Meredith says mischievously.
"What?" Addison asks.
Addison gets her answer ten minutes later after Meredith has filled the washing machine and started it and then she lifts Addison up by the hips onto the machine.
"I need you to help me pass the time until the wash cycle is finished," says Meredith.
"And how do you plan on doing that?" Asks Addison.
Meredith reaches up to grasp Addison's hair from right in front of her in response and she leans in and plants fervent kisses over Addison's neck.
"Oh," says Addison. "Oh, oh, oh," says Addison as Meredith opens her mouth and allows the heat to go into the actions.
Addison pulls Meredith in closer with her hands on her back and they kiss and touch until the beeper goes off.
"Hop off for a sec?" Says Meredith as she helps Addison down onto the ground so she can change over the laundry.
"So is this why you like to do laundry?" Asks Addison.
"Oh just wait until you feel the dry-cycle," says Meredith as she lifts Addison onto the dryer and starts it.
The vibrations of the machine are felt by Addison all through her pants and her boxers and she's all of a sudden wet with arousal.
"See, it's like the biggest vibrator ever," says Meredith with a smirk.
"Wait, do you always sit on the dryer like this-?" Addison asks her girlfriend.
"If I say 'yes,' would that turn you on?" Ask Meredith.
"Yes," says Addison as she sighs into the kisses and pulls Meredith closer.
They're kissing slow and soft and not getting too carried away as they intertwine in the laundry room in domestic bliss.
When they break up for air, Meredith realizes something aloud, or confesses it rather.
"You know, you asked me how I knew that you used sex as an escape. I guess I knew because it was my thing too. I had different people over every night after- well, I went through periods in my life where I'd take off my clothes for anyone, I just wanted to feel something. And I know that's not great but I did that. And I guess I must have seen a similar pattern in you," says Meredith.
"Why does it seem… Sweet that you saw the same bad habits in me all that time ago?" Says Addison. She wanted to say 'romantic,' but she's holding herself back from being too mushy.
"I guess we're similar people, similar pasts. You get me like no one ever has," says Meredith, opening up her heart to Addison.
"You always did seem to get under my skin," says Addison.
They kiss and touch some more and they fold the laundry together over music and at some point they have popcorn and also some fancy exotic soda that Addison ordered.
Once all of the clothes are put away, Meredith and Addison collapse in a heap on the bed together and they cuddle up some more and put in a video playlist and look through old pictures.
It's all fun and funny and everything and Addison Montgomery and Meredith Grey find themselves wishing that time could just for them right here in this perfect world.
****** END OF CHAPTER 17
Author's Note:
So there's been some inspiration from "I'm Not What You Came Here For" by flipflop-diva on LiveJournal. That's such a stunning story I highly recommend it, it's angsty and painful and this is where the idea of Addison and Meredith using sex as an escape came from. That story is here, I'll link it though I warn there's a lot of hurt in it so heads up: .
This is also inspired by "actually, I'm more of a dishwasher sort of girl," a line in Orange Is The New Black canon from Alex Vause to Piper Chapman amongst other ridiculous references.
Let me know what you think of this short one!
