A/N : I should be doing something else than reading fics like this. But it's too good to ignore. This is by Kendel (kendel17)!
Addison stood impatiently at the nurses station waiting for her husband. They were meeting for lunch and he was 20 minutes late. She had a C-Section schedule for 1, which meant they would have about 20 minutes to eat if he arrived 5 minutes ago.
"Addy I am so sorry," Derek jogged up to her and kissed her lightly on the cheek.
"It's fine," Addison replied, as Derek's pager went off, "But now you have to go."
"Yes," Derek glanced at her apologetically, "But I'll make it up to you, I promise," her gripped her up arm lightly, as he passed by.
"Okay," Addison sighed, "I guess I'll see you later."
Later that afternoon Addison stood in front of the basement vending machine eating a Drumstick ice cream cone and searching for something that would count as protein.
"Hey," Derek said approaching her, "Let me treat you to lunch," he teased, pulling a handful of change out of his pocket.
"How romantic," Addison remarked dryly, leaning one shoulder against the machine.
"It's like an imprompt-to picnic." Derek said decidedly.
"I'm not usually this cheap a date."
"Hey, I may not be shelling out the big bucks, but there are other advantages to spontaneous dates with me," he teased grabbing a hold of his wife's wrist and devouring half her ice cream.
"Advantages? Like loosing my ice cream to a cocky brain surgeon?"
"Among other things," Derek grinned leaning in to gently kiss her.
"Oh, those advantages," she grinned back, returning his kisses.
They continued to kiss slowly, Derek taking the ice cream from her hand so she could run her fingers along his neck and chest. With his other hand he reached under her lab coat and gently caressed her cloth covered hip. He pulled her closer, his tongue just barely teasing hers, he could feel her lips smiling against his as she ran her fingers softly against his jaw.
"Dr. Shepherd?"
Derek pulled away slowly. "Your intern or mine?"
Addison laughed, "Yours."
Derek straighten up, "Cristina."
"Your labs are back."
"And?"
"And you need to look at them...?"
Derek sighed, "I really will make it up to you," Derek promised again, kissing the tip of her nose before walking away after Cristina.
"Derek?" She called after him, grinning as he turned around, "Can I have my ice cream back?"
Addison approached her husband as he talked to Meredith Grey and waited for her to show up. "Hey," she said brightly, trying her best not to stand to close, she didn't want to look possessive.
"Hey," Derek smiled, just as brightly running a hand down her arm, stopping at her elbow, "All set?"
Addison nodded and Derek turned back to Meredith.
"We'll see you tomorrow Mer,"
"Bye," Meredith said, a hint of confusion in her voice.
"We have to make a stop," Derek said as they walked away, steering her to a darkened doorway with his hand on her back.
"The gift shop?" she asked, staring as Derek pulled out a set of keys, "How did you..."
"I bribed someone from the custodial staff, I said I had severely messed up with my wife and i needed to make it up with a whole lot of flowers."
"And he believed you?"
"He'd heard of us," Derek grinned as he ushered Addison through the door, "Okay," he removed her jacket from around her shoulder and placed it on the counter with there briefcases, "Let's go." he said taking her hand and leading her to the back of the store, the air becoming heavier and more humid.
Addison couldn't help but smile as they were completely engulfed by exotic plants their heady odor making her swoon, "Derek it's perfect." she breathed.
"Wait, it gets better," Derek squeezed her fingers tightly then pulled away, "At least I think it gets better, I was in here the other day buying gum and I think..."
Suddenly all the trees and plants around Addison lit up with tiny white lights. Addison gasped as the lights illuminated beautiful flowers against dark green leaves, "Oh my God."
"Now don't get to excited, it's for display purposes," He teased, walking closer, "And usually there are more lights, and more people, and a cheesy soundtrack of jungle sounds which I could probably find if you wanted me too."
"Shut up," Addison laughed, kissing him soundly, "It's perfect."
"So do you forgive me for missing lunch?" He asked toying with the buttons on her shirt, undoing a couple and kissing her chest.
"I'm getting there," she murmured, kissing him again and removing her own blouse. "But it's going to take all night to make it up."
