I love you all!You all have made my day by reading this. Thanks!
So, I hear Preston is dating an intern." Ella Webber said to Addison over breakfast. A perfectly arched eyebrow shot up.
"Oh really?" Addison drawled. "Who?"
Ella looked at the engrossed men across from her and Addison. Richard and Derek were talking passionately about some project that didn't pertain to either Mrs.
"Cristina Yang."
"Burke and Yang! So that means.. Wow, the attending really like their interns don't they," Addison commented, a slight tone of bitterness in her voice.
"Cristina is a good girl. Reminds me a little bit of you when you were an intern."
"I like Yang."
"It's Grey that you have issues with, right? I never cared for her mother. I never liked the way she looked at Richard or when she would call him after hours," Ella replied.
"I have nothing against Meredith Grey. So, she was the intern sleeping with my husband. She didn't know he was married. I cheated, Ella. I am the one that set this all into motion. I ask you to please refrain from discussing Grey with me. I refuse to say anything ill about that girl. I learned a lot from Ellis."
"Have you met Miranda's husband yet?" Ella inquired, changing the subject. Ella was one of the most gossipiest women Addison had ever known, but she loved the woman none the less. Ella had called Addison the minute she found out Derek was in Seattle. She had kept her ears open for any gossip concerning the Shepherds.
"Bailey is married?" Addison gaped. "Derek, Bailey is married!"
"Yea, I found out a while back," Derek responded, turning his attention away from the chief.
"Ella, are you gossiping again?" Richard said, annoyed. The Shepherds exchanged brief eye contact.
"Oh, Richard! I am simply informing Addi about her co-workers. You have to meet Kevin! I'll call Miranda and invite her and Kevin to dinner. Richard, why don't you invite Preston too!" Ella began. Ella Webber was known for her love of throwing dinner parties. It was her way of getting dirt on everyone she met. It didn't hurt that she was an excellent cook.
"Ella, what have I told you.."
"How does Thursday night sound to you, Derek? You all can take the night off. And Preston can bring Dr. Yang!"
"Perfect, Ella," Derek grinned. Richard looked beside himself. Addison just looked at her husband with a smirk.
"I thank God everyday that you were never like Ella," Derek comments to Addison as they walked into the hospital together.
"Ella isn't that bad!" Addison laughed.
"I realized that if we didn't get back together on our own, Ella and Richard would make life hell," Derek responded.
"Ella called me almost twice a week since you left. I've been waiting for one of her ambush dinners since I got here. Do you think she is going to pounce of Burke and Yang?"
"Should we warn them?"
"No," Derek smirked.
"You want to watch Burke squirm don't you?"
"Yep."
"You are horrible, Mc Dreamy."
"Why thank you, Satan."
Addison shook her fist at Derek as he strolled to his own wing of the hospital. She could hear him chuckling as he went.
" The chief just asked Burke and I to join him and his wife for dinner," Cristina whispered to her fellow interns.
"What?" Meredith and George said in unison. Weird looks crossed their faces.
"I know. My thoughts exactly. Webber has barely said two words to me since he found out about me and Burke, now his wife is planning a dinner party!" Cristina continued.
"Special treatment for doing the attending," Alex stated carelessly. Izzie smacked him upside the head for his stupidity.
"Forget I said anything?"
"Good boy."
"Dinner with the chief and his wife? Meredith, do you know the chief's wife?" Cristina asked.
"I've met her a few times. She seemed nice," Meredith replied just as Bailey appeared before them.
" O' Malley, you are with Dr. Burke. Stevens, Dr. Addison Shepherd will be waiting for you. Karev and Grey, you are on rounds. Yang, you are with me today," Bailey instructed. Everyone went off in their own ways as soon as Bailey gave them the look.
"I hear you and Burke are going to be the guest of honor at dinner on Thursday," Bailey comments a couple of patients later.
"What?" Cristina asked a bit flabbergasted.
" Ella is an excellent cook. If you don't take my word for it, the Dr. Shepherds will agree. Do you like Italian, Yang? I sure hope she makes Italian."
Cristina watched Bailey walk a head of her with only one thought in mind.
"I'm having dinner with Bailey?"
"I promised Derek I wouldn't say anything, but tell Dr. Yang to be prepared for dinner with the chief," Addison commented to Izzie as they stepped on to the patio.
"Is Mrs. Webber that intimidating?" Izzie asked.
"Ella is Ella," Addison replied pulling out a chair. "She is a very kind woman. I just wouldn't be surprise if she interrogated Yang as if she was a war criminal. Mama Webber is quite protective of a few doctors that interned under the Chief."
"So you've known the chief a long time?" Izzie asked sitting at the table.
"Almost as long as I've known Derek. I interned under the Chief and Ellis Grey. The chief and Mrs. Webber we're at our wedding."
" So, did you and Dr. Shepherd meet as interns?" Izzie asked, curious about the history of her roomies ex-boyfriend and new career mentor.
"Medical school. He was persistent. When I first met him I thought he had a bad sense of humor and a low I.Q. And don't even ask me about his sense of style. My husband is a woodsman at heart," Addison beamed. Her eyes lit up at the thought of Derek Shepherd 20 years ago.
Izzie laughed at the far a way look in Addison's eyes. Who know she could find herself laughing with the enemy? Well, she was dating Alex…
" How is Dr. Karev?"
"Alex?"
"That's his name? The other doctor you're dating, right? Don't look so surprised, Dr. Stevens. Bailey knows everything."
"Bailey told you?"
"Joe told her."
"This place is like high school!"
Addison sniggered at the expression on Izzie's face. She really liked Dr. Stevens
"So let me get this straight, you are having dinner in 3 days with Dr. Webber, his wife, Bailey, and Burke?" Meredith summarized to Cristina
"Add the Shepherds to the list," Izzie interrupted, joining the other women on the empty gurney.
"And the hateful married couple! Wow, I am going to some party," Cristina shot back dead panned. "Would it be rude to back out?"
"You are not back out on me!" Preston Burke told Cristina at her suggestion they not go to dinner.
"Please. We can go to my place. I'll order out. We can have an entire night of sex. It will be great!" Cristina suggested.
"We're going."
"You're passing up sex for dinner with the chief?"
"That can come later."
"Preston!"
"Uh-uh. We're on duty, Dr. Yang. What I says goes."
Cristina's eyes narrowed at her boyfriend. "I hate you."
"You'll love me after you have Mrs. Webber's cooking."
Cristina growled in frustration and stormed away.
"You couldn't get out of dinner with the party posse?" Meredith teased later that evening as the interns gathered at Joe's.
"Nope. I'm spending my night off with my bosses. Want to trade places?" Cristina asked hopefully.
"No. No. No. I don't want to see either Shepherd outside of work. Its bad enough Derek followed me around trying to explain. Nope. I am quite content working on Thursday," Meredith ranted.
Cristina groaned and lightly hit her head on the bar in defeat.
