Chapter 6
Addison was about to get up and leave when Izzie walked into the café, Meredith stumbling behind. Not long after Derek waltzed in with them and took a seat at their table. She looked on in shock as if she couldn't believe he had the nerve to sit with her. Not only that but the smell of urine could be smelt and needless to say that was off putting. Izzie glanced around the table, watching as everyone stole glances from each other, the tension increasing in the room. Brandy took a deep breath, she was going to attempt to break the silence but Addison jumped in.
"Who smells like pee?"
Meredith was dazed and had no idea what exactly was going on, she wasn't even aware that Addison was sitting in front of her. Izzie spoke up, smiling sheepishly. "Ehehe that would be Meredith, Derek kind of…relieved himself on her"
Addison cocked an eyebrow and quizzically looked at Derek. "So you pee on your girlfriends now?" Derek didn't blame her for assuming this but the bitterness in her voice hurt him. Of course he didn't expect her to willingly jump back into his arms, he would have to work towards that but he still hoped she loved him in the slightest.
"No it wasn't like that. I woke up on a balcony and I needed to go and I didn't quite realise where I was…and I didn't know Meredith was walking on the streets below, I guess you could say she was in the wrong place at the wrong time."
"Right…and why should I believe any of this?" Addison was still in doubt of Derek's recantation of events; she didn't even know why she was there.
"I think I was drugged" Derek said in a hope to make Addison, his wife, the love of his life believe him in the slightest.
"Derek why should I believe you were drugged when I saw you doing coke lines off her stomach" She pointed at Meredith who was examining the salt shaker with much detail.
"Well you see I kind of bought this-" Derek was cut off mid sentence by Addison.
"Just stop right there, I don't want to hear any more of your lame excuses. Let's just get down to the real reason we are here" Addison was becoming frustrated with Derek's constant excuses she rolled her eyes and attempted to find a reason to stay.
In another corner of the café a commotion began to stir, a young writer was attempting to compose a story, more like a chapter of what was supposed to be her debut novel however things were just not going her way. She pounded her fists against the table top and shut her laptop in a fit of rage. The other patrons of the café became concerned with her behaviour but she would just sneer at them and they would go back to their breakfast meals. Addison just watched, bemused by the behaviour, it was definitely something keeping her there as Izzie rambled on about something to do with the hospital.
"Excuse me, waiter I'd like a vodka martini please" The aggravated novelist shouted at a passing waiter, giving a glare that demanded attention. Addison quietly snickered to herself and brushed it off as a sneeze when Izzie looked at her, Brandy was intent on what was happening with Meredith to even notice.
"Um…Ma'am it's 9:00am, it's a bit early" The waitress was clearly put off by the less than amused patron and did not want to get on her bad side.
"Do I look like I care? I don't care if its 3am I want my god damn martini!" She was standing up now and just about all of the café was watching her, the waitress scurried off, unsure of what to do but she figured it was best she complied with the customer's demands.
Over at Addison's side of the café Derek had been watching the ordeal unfold and sighed, he was far from impressed with this girls behaviour, what he hadn't realised was that the girl had seen Derek's sigh and she was now filled to the brim with anger. Addison could see what was going to happen and had no intention of stopping things, Derek needed to be put in his place and she wasn't about to stop that from happening. Derek had no idea what was going to happen until the aggressive writer grabbed then closest to her and threw it harshly at Derek, the pen hitting him directly in the head.
His jaw dropped and he was just stunned, Addison cupped her hands over her mouth to stop herself from laughing and Brandy who was now watching was in equal shock as Izzie. Meredith was the only one not watching, she was slowly sprinkling salt on the baby dolls head and licking it off, she really needs to get herself to rehab otherwise she'll end up like Pete Doherty. Before Derek had a chance to react an empty glass came flying in his direction, it just missed his head and shattered on the wall behind him.
Addison at this point was sniggering and had decided congratulations were in order. "I LOVE YOU LOVE LOVE" She beamed, standing up, her hands meeting for a small applause. The writer was now confused as to what just happened, she hadn't expected to receive a reaction like that but she wasn't about to yell at what appeared to be an adoring fan. She slowly made her way over, ignoring Derek and looked at Addison who had just extended her hand. Shaking it she smiled apprehensively. "I'm Addison Montgomery-Shepherd and you would be my new hero" She said quite confidently.
"Uh thanks but please call me Cess, so why are you sitting with this jerk?" Looking away from Addison she glanced around the table, pausing on Meredith and just decided to shrug it off, it was Spring Break and she had seen a lot of unusual characters lately, she supposed this was just another of them.
"This jerk just so happens to be my soon to be ex-husband" Derek cringed when he heard the words, Addison was aware that she hadn't told him the news but now he knew.
"Wait, we're getting a divorce?" Derek was surprised, he knew things weren't going extremely well but he was living in some kind of fantasy world where adulterous husbands were rewarded for their behaviour.
"You were married to that?" Cess said curiously, looking back and forth between Addison and Derek.
"Unfortunately" Addison sighed before turning to Derek to address his question. "Unless you can prove to me right now why we shouldn't get a divorce then yes we are getting divorced" Derek opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out, he was baffled by the situation and attracted to Addison for her strength.
A waitress soon walked over with Cess' drink but before Cess could grab it Addison had already snatched the martini off the tray and downed it in one hit, Brandy went to stop her but it was too late. Izzie was just sitting dumbfounded, trying to pull Meredith away from the salt and pepper. "Excuse me Addison but that was my drink" Cess said still slightly shocked.
"Do you think that bar across the street would start happy hour now for us?" Addison had already grabbed Cess by the arm and was now walking across the street to the bar; Cess wasn't one to turn down a free drink so she obediently followed, and hoping that drinking with a random stranger would be fun rather than awkward.
Derek chased after the two women, he needed to explain to Addison that he still loved her, Brandy left Izzie and Meredith sitting alone at the table to join the wild goose chase. As she went to cross the road she was cut off by a large black van stopping suddenly, the back doors swung open and a hung over Jess stumbled out. Needless to say Brandy was shocked, not just because Jess had been in the van but because of the sheer size of the van. Brandy walked around to the back and peered inside, the van was pimped out to the max, there were poles set up, beds, a mini bar, Jacuzzi, she wondered how it all fit. Passed out on the floor were Bailey, Allie and Spider who had all caught a lift when they saw the van passing by.
"Howdy" Said the driver, a female wearing a straw cowboy hat stepped up besides Brandy, smiling sweetly as she tipped her hat ever so slightly. "I'm Inkie and this here is my stripping bus"
"A stripping bus? Seriously?" Brandy had never come across a stripping bus before nor had she ever imagined one looking this appealing. She had never thought about stripping but the thought of rolling around in that van was enough to make her switch professions. Not that she was really employed anyway, last time I checked hand made law degrees were just as good as trying to use a get out of jail free card out side of Monopoly.
"Where's Addison?" Jess asked groggily looking for her bag, and top, and pants, yes she was only in her underwear and she couldn't remember much of the previous night but she was sure that Inkie had swayed her into stripping.
"She and this new girl, Cess went to the bar across the street" Jess nodded and walked across to the bar, forgetting that she was still only in her underwear. Wolf whistles and howls could be heard from the bar as she entered and Jess soon came running out and was now a deep shade of red. She snuck into the van and came out fully clothed, she smiled weakly at Inkie and Brandy who were just laughing to them selves and went back into the bar.
"So you want to join our stripping clan?" Inkie said looking back at Brandy.
"How many members do you have so far?"
"It's only me, Jess and Michelle so far, Michelle went to get food while I was supposed to be finding us a place to stay"
"Sure I'll join the clan, sounds like fun. So how exactly does it work?" Brandy said curiously, eager to start the stripping with her new found clan.
"Well basically we just drive around, stop anywhere and strip and audiences come, you'd be surprised, and we make a lot of money" Bailey crawled out of the back of the van rubbing her head, she wondered where she was and then she remembered. The stripping van, alcohol and strippers…they had some good times but now she had to get back to the mission that was retrieving Addison.
"Alright ladies thanks for the show last night but if you can point me in the direction of Addison I would be grateful"
Brandy pointed towards the bar and then hopped into the back of the van to inspect her new place of work. She would have to explain to Addison what was going on but she hoped that she wouldn't mind. "Well welcome to the crew, we're going to have a show tonight; Spring Break brings in great business for us" Brandy nodded in approvement and continued to explore the van.
Meanwhile Kayli and Tyra were walking the streets when they came across a small cupcake shop, Kay was in the mood for cupcakes so she entered, leaving Tyra tied up to a fire hydrant outside. The last thing she needed was Tyra causing a scene in a cupcake shop. Kay walked to the counter and immediately smiled when she saw who was serving her, the young woman greeted Kayli with a toothy grin. "Welcome to the cupcake emporium how may I help you?"
"You could start by getting undressed" Kayli said smoothly, the girl didn't respond she just let her jaw drop.
"Excuse me? I just sell cupcakes, with frosting" The girl had decided to flirt as well; there was nothing wrong with some playful flirting.
"I'm Kayli and what can I call you?" Kay was now glad she had wanted cupcakes but she hadn't expected to come across this treasure.
"Stephanie or Steph" She said with a smile, as she put some frosting on a new batch of cupcakes.
"How about baby? When do you get off work?" Kay was aware that persuing other people could cause jealousy between her and Kendel but once Kendel met Steph she was sure that things would work out.
"I can finish up now if you want and we could go for a walk" Steph suggested winking playfully at her new friend, or possible lover.
"That sounds grand, can you bring some frosting?" Steph arched an eyebrow at the question and grabbed a can of frosting and hung up her apron. She came out from behind the counter and offered her hand to Kay. Kay took her hand and the pair walked out of the shop, grabbing Tyra on the way out who was in fact abusing people who passed by.
Back in the bar Cess and Addison were having fun drinking and chatting all until Derek came in and dragged Addison off to the side to have a private chat. So there she was sitting in a booth in the corner of the bar talking to her estranged husband, more like zoning in and out of his pathetic attempt at a speech.
"So Addi what do you say? Will you take me back?" Derek said, hope glimmering in his eyes.
"Huh? What were you saying?" Addison said snapping back to reality after his last sentence.
"You weren't listening…I basically said that I am still in love with you and I want to be with you til the day I die" Addison rolled her eyes at him sceptically and placed both palms down on the table.
"I'd be lying to you if I said I didn't love you but I can't risk being hurt again Derek, I mean you go off doing coke lines off your ex girlfriend, how am I supposed to have faith in us?" Addison said sternly, Derek sighed he knew she was right but he had to prove to her otherwise.
"Please Addison I'm willing to try, therapy whatever it's all up to you" Addison was glad he was willing to try but she was still unsure. Before she could answer Derek Bailey was standing besides her yelling things at her and in amongst that yelling her younger sister Jess was trying to say something.
"EVERYONE SHUTUP!" Addison finally said, all the noise wasn't helping the headache she already had. "Now one at a time. Jess you first"
Jess sighed and took a deep breath. "I was going to warn you that Bailey and some of the interns were in town as well as the Chief and Burke, they are all looking for you because"
"The hospital is going crazy without you Addison" Bailey interjected "Then Derek and everyone else raced up here, you need to go back to the hospital you can't stay here at Spring Break forever"
"I know but I have a lot of things to sort out and here is so much fun, why don't you stay here and party a little Miranda?"
