Country Kind of Love

NetflixPerson01: This update is a little boring but they're getting there, hopefully. :D

addiealex: Considering that they do work together it would really be unprofessional, but I don't think that should keep anyone from dating Derek Shepherd… I'm really glad you still like the story. :)

LoveLastsForever: I think he just needs a little more patience and then (hopefully) it'll all work out. Even though I still need to work out why she came to Kansas in the first place...

Uma FicWriter: I'm starting to run out of ideas for all those stories by now :D I don't think this one will have all that many chapters since there's not all that much left to cover BUT I'll have to think about it :D I think we are all pretty international here :D but then again, the wonders of the 21st century...

Guest: There might be some drama coming up here but I don't know how to write snarky Derek because I want him to be all cute and stuff. :D

geller516: Yeah, the guys are really funny that way :D but I thought the same thing about filling those rooms with a lot of kids and some more dogs… I have the feeling that my stories are starting to blend into one another, not good, but I'm glad you still enjoy them. :)

Msmiumiu: This chapter will be a little boring, so I'm sorry, but I think it'll get more interesting soon and now there are the interns in there too.

Addison-fan: There will be a little more chaperoning this time, sorry about that :D but she's interested, kind of, at least.

Lena-Prince08: I really have no idea why she doesn't want to date but I haven't figured her whole background out yet :D needs to be a little dramatic but we'll get there… Preston and Mark really would make for a fun couple but I'll just have to find them a girlfriend since Mark doesn't seem like the guy who goes for anything but girls… I'm so glad all of you guys still love Addek because they really deserved a chance but after everything that had happened it really didn't seem too plausible...

luvaddek: They won't date in this chapter but we are getting a little closer. :)

Thank you all so much for reviewing! To quite Friends "you make me fly!"

Chapter Five

A few weeks had passed and Addison had only seen Derek around the hospital and for the occasional lunch along with Mark and Preston. Yes, she had told him that she didn't like him and that they couldn't date because it would be unprofessional but she still found him quite charming, especially since he had brought her a cupcake this morning after their emergency surgeries. And now they were sitting at a table in the cafeteria and she couldn't really focus on anything Preston was saying because she kept glancing over at Derek.

"So you two agree?" Preston raised his eyebrows at both Addison and Derek who looked equally caught off guard.

"Yep." Derek answered and Addison nodded her head, neither of them had a clue what they had just agreed to.

"That's perfect." Mark couldn't stop laughing. "Because for the past three minutes Preston here has been going on and on about how the Aliens will land on this earth and how he thinks that Chuck Norris can beat them all. And that's what you two just agreed to."

"Because he totally would…" Addison shrugged her shoulders and tried not to look as embarrassed as she felt about not having paid attention at all.

"Uhuh, or you two could finally date so you can stop looking at each other like some high school kids." Preston was very amused at the looks on Derek and Addison's faces. They looked mortified and it had only gotten worse when Preston had mentioned dating.

"I'm just tired." Addison yawned and kept her gaze fixated on the salad in front of her.

"Yeah and unlike you we can't go home and sleep but have to do rounds and then check on a few of our patients." Derek gave his friends a look. Why did they always have to try to set him up?! It was starting to get really annoying.

"Of course, that's why you didn't realize Preston was talking about the greatness that is Chuck Norris…" Mark mumbled.

"Great, all of you get to assist during interesting surgeries and they put me on vagina duty." Alex Karev groaned when he saw the plan and noted that he was assigned to Dr. Montgomery.

"Are you serious?" Izzie Stevens looked over at him. "I wanted to work with her ever since she got here and you actually complain? She's separated conjoined twins and performed really difficult surgeries but you complain."

"Montgomery might be the hottest woman I've ever hated and those bitchy and hormonal women, seriously, they just need to get laid."

"Well, Dr. Karev," Addison was now standing behind the interns, "those bitchy and hormonal women mostly have gotten laid, which is why they're here." she watched the four interns slowly turn around, Karev's normally so self-righteous and smug smile had faded completely and now he just looked horrified. "But you're not a surgeon yet and you don't get to pick who you work with so I am deeply sorry that I somehow don't fulfill the requirements you usually have. However I will teach you to care. About your patients, their stories, their families and getting them well again. So until I say otherwise you will be working with me. Doesn't that just sound great, Dr. Karev?" Addison raised her eyebrows at him in a way that signalized him that he shouldn't answer before she walked off again.

"Yeah, good luck with that." Cristina Yang couldn't help but laugh. "That was brutal."

"Maybe you should read up on her career, it's really impressive." Meredith Grey tried because none of them had ever gotten Alex Karev. The only thing he really seemed to care about was cutting someone open and not really about the person on the table.

"But somehow she still ended up in Kansas." He mumbled. "That woman just gives me the creeps."

"Done for the night?" Derek yawned and leaned back against his locker after too long of a day. They had been up for most of the night and now it was six in the evening.

"Yes, finally. I think I've never been this tired before in my life. But I always say that after a day like this." Addison sat down on the wooden bench and smiled when he sat down next to her.

"So tomorrow, after we've slept a really, really long time Preston, Mark and I are watching the game at my house, if you don't have anything better to do it would be nice if you'd come too."

"That sounds good, thank you for inviting me. Are you guys always hanging out at your place?"

"Now that you mention it, I think we are… Don't ask me why." He stretched out and gave her a smile and she could have sworn that even after a long day at work he was still the most charming guy she had ever met.

"So what game are you watching tomorrow?"

"College football." He chuckled at the look on her face. When he had been studying at Harvard people hadn't understood that he still watched the Kansas games.

"Seriously? I thought you'd say NFL or something but okaaay, college football…"

"Welcome to Kansas."

"Please don't tell me I'm the first again?" Addison smiled at Derek once she had greeted his dogs.

"Nope, not this time." He led her inside where Mark and Preston were already sitting in front of the TV.

"Hey!" Mark greeted and looked up at Addison. "And she really doesn't own jeans. Did no one tell you that college football day is supposed to be casual?" He teased and watched her stand extremely close to Derek.

"This is casual." She gave him a look and saw them laugh. "Next time I'll know to wear my gym clothes or something…"

"I think even your gym clothes look really fancy." Preston walked into the living room and handed Mark another beer.

"So for someone with a house that big you have very limited seating." Addison commented once she was sitting down in a big chair right next to Derek because she had had the choice of sitting on the sofa with Mark and Preston or next to Derek so the choice had been easy. Even if it had earned her some looks from the other two.

"Do you mind?" Derek raised his eyebrows at her and watched her sip some of her beer. He hadn't missed the grin on Mark's face when she had sat down next to him instead of on the couch that was also occupied by Abby.

"Nope. So you guys have to explain this to me, which of those teams are you for?"

"Well, we work at the University of Kansas Hospital so there's the University of Kansas playing…" Preston chuckled but stopped when she gave him a look. "Geez, if you gave Karev that look I get why he's afraid of you."

"He's not afraid of me," she said before adding, "yet but I really don't like this guy."

"Why did you request to have him assigned to you permanently then?" Mark hadn't understood her at all because Karev's smug attitude even surpassed Mark's when he had still been an intern.

"Because he doesn't care. And if there's one thing I can teach people it's to care plus I wanted to punish him… Is that mean?" By now the three men were laughing.

"I think you're punishing yourself but what is it you really wanted to punish him for? For not caring or did he hit on one of your patients as well?" Derek turned towards her, his arm resting right behind her on the back of the large chair.

"For not caring and maybe for saying that I might be, and I quote, the hottest woman he has ever hated." She rolled her eyes but then had to smile when she saw Derek laughing. When he was laughing his eyes lit up and turned into almost indigo.

"Note to myself: Don't call Addison hot." Mark mumbled in between laughs.

"So, I have absolutely no idea who even won…" Addison had offered to help Derek clean up and the other two had used this as their way out and had just left.

"We did, so you can celebrate." Derek laughed softly and leaned against the counter. He knew exactly why his friends had left and he hated them for doing this. She had already said that she wasn't interested in him so they could just drop it by now.

"How do you suggest we celebrate?" She had come to stand close to him and licked her lips suggestively. Of course she had told him that she wasn't interested in dating him, which wasn't entirely true but that didn't mean that they couldn't have some fun…

"Well," he leaned in just a little closer and had to smile when she closed her eyes, "but that would be entirely unprofessional, wouldn't it?" He whispered and pulled away before stepping around her.

"Are you serious?" She turned around to look at him.

"Yep, you refuse to go out with me, so my hands are tied." He shrugged his shoulders and had that smug smile on his face that she really hated.

"Because I don't like you and it would be unprofessional."

"So you don't like me but you'd sleep with me? Because we both know that you wouldn't."

"How would you even know?" By now she was bluffing because he was right and it annoyed her that he was right.

"Because you didn't go out with Mark, usually an indicator that you aren't just looking for someone for one night. But since you said that you hated it if someone is persistent I'll just say this one more time and you'll get to think about it, so don't shoot me down immediately, because that would be cruel and you said that you cared, right?" He saw her nod reluctantly because he had now used her words against her. "Addison Montgomery, I'd like to take you out some time and not because I think you're hot or because I want to 'have desert at your place'," he smiled when she started to laugh, "but because I think you're funny, smart and probably the most beautiful woman I have ever seen and because of the way you now look embarrassed even though you're probably used to hearing that. I want to go out with you because I want to get to know you, because you care so much about your patients and because, even despite your best efforts, you're starting not to hate Kansas. So, how about you think about it and get back to me in a week?"

"Alright, but who says that I'll agree then?" She raised her eyebrows and tried to ignore the butterflies in her stomach because no one had ever said anything this sweet.

"Call it foolishness." Derek shrugged his shoulders and smiled.

They still didn't date but she suggested simply having fun. Oooops :D
