Daddy's Little Girl

Okay, shame on me, it has taken me incredibly long to update but now it's here! Their first actual date and I swear I'm totally falling in love with Derek! Life can be cruel that way… I'm kinda sad not more people are reviewing but I'm guessing not too many people still read much Addek ff, which probably makes me even sadder…

But for those who still crave some Addek AU (just learned what that meant, btw) fluff, here you go! And to all those good-looking, kind surgeons out there, feel free to message me if you feel like taking me out on a date like that ;)

Oh, and I do recommend the country kind of love playlist on spotify for the date part of this story 3


Chapter Seven - The First Date

A few weeks had gone by and Addison had gotten used to spending most of her "free" time at the hospital with Derek. She liked everything she had gotten to know about him and couldn't help the butterflies in her stomach whenever he flashed her one of those trademark smiles that had earned him the nickname of 'McDreamy' and Addison really liked McDreamy… But in all those weeks he had never mentioned wanting to take her out again and this nagging voice inside of her head kept wondering whether he was actually just looking to be friends with her. The last time she had been officially asked out on a date had been in college and that was longer ago than she cared to admit. So maybe Derek really wasn't interested in dating her anymore? Wait, was she even interested in dating him? 'Of course you are, don't be an idiot,' that same voice in her head seemed to even add one of those obnoxious eye rolls to this statement. She liked him and that he could make her forget about everything around her. With Derek everything seemed so completely light and carefree, almost as if they were the only two people in the world.

Now he was sitting opposite from her on one of the beds in the on call rooms. They had decided to hide from their interns, who even followed them around with questions during their breaks, for just a little while and she had given him a look when he had suggested the on call room. He had laughed and pulled the poker cards out of his lab coat and she had more than willingly agreed to a poker game.

"You know, you're really not good at this game…" Derek looked at her, a grin on his face because of the annoyance on her features.

"Well, I am good at so many things, it would be very unfair if I was good at poker too." She laughed and leaned back against the wall behind her. They really had to go back to work soon and face the ton of questions their interns had for them. Whoever said that there were no stupid questions clearly hadn't worked with interns before…

Derek only rolled his eyes in reply and put the cards back in his pocket. "How about I trade you O'Malley and Yang for Karev and Grey?"

"Oh, no way, explaining to Karev that there is no way he can keep hitting on my patients and make sleazy comments is actually more bearable than Yang… Speaking of whom, the nurses are saying that she spent yesterday's break with Burke…"

"We spend our breaks together." Derek shrugged his shoulders and didn't look at her because he would have had to laugh. Of course he knew exactly what the nurses were saying.

"In an on call room."

"You know, maybe they were just playing poker too!" Now he had to laugh as well and she threw a pillow at him. "Have fun explaining this by the way."

"I live with our boss and my little daughter is already looking for suitable dates for me. So thank you, Derek, for making my life just a little more complicated!" They both shared a laugh before a moment of silence that she suddenly ended. "So when are you ever going to ask me out on that date you talked about?" Her bold question betrayed the nervousness she felt rise within her. Her heart was beating so fast she could have sworn that she would pass out any moment. And then he smiled at her and everything seemed forgotten.

"How about now?"

"I cannot believe you're actually ditching your own mother," Addison said with a very dramatic sigh but her daughter only grinned and put on her coat. Richard had told her that they would go to the movies and she had been more than excited to spend an evening with her uncle Richard.

"You could have gone to play Bridge with Adele." Richard laughed when he came down the stairs. Adele's Friday nights were reserved for Bridge and he usually was working at the hospital but tonight he would finally do something else than paper work and budgets and all those horrible things that gathered dust on his desk throughout a very busy week. "So, little Miss, are we ready?"

"We are!" She said excitedly and walked over to her mother to hug her goodbye.

"What are your plans tonight?" Richard asked after he had put on his coat, now ready for an evening with his 'niece' that promised to be a lot more relaxing that Adele's bridge nights or working at the hospital (even though he'd choose that over bridge any day).

"Oh, just dinner…" She said nonchalantly, leaving out the minor detail of whom she was having dinner with.

"Have fun!" Grace hugged her mother one last time as they walked towards the door.

"You too!" Addison waved goodbye and waited for the door to close to sprint up the stairs. What was she going to wear? How was she going to do her hair? And makeup? And shoes? This stupid Seattle weather really didn't make it easy because there was a chance that it would just start raining, even on a clear night. And he really hadn't given her enough details as to where they were going… Dress casual was all he had said and what was that even supposed to mean?!

"Wow, uhm," Derek tried to regain some of his ability to speak after she had opened the door looking more beautiful than ever, not that he had thought that would even be possible. "I meant to say you look stunning." He felt more than a little embarrassed about his reaction but who could really blame him?

"Thank you." He noticed the slight blush on her cheeks and felt more at ease because she seemed to be feeling just as nervous as he was. "You clean up nicely too." Addison looked him up and down and her smile grew even wider when he handed her flowers. "And they chivalry is dead."

"Well, they clearly haven't met me then," He chuckled as he followed her into the house so she could put the flowers in some water. "It's so weird that you're living with our boss…"

"I know right!" She laughed when she came back and took a light jacket so she really would be prepared for rain and maybe even a snowfall in the middle of summer because maybe even that was a possibility in Seattle. "So, where are you taking me?"

"Well, it has come to my attention that you have never really gotten my very famous tour of Seattle and that's a real shame because it's a wonderful city." His hand now was on the small of her back as he guided her towards his car.

"Oh, your famous tour?" She mocked him with her eyebrows raised when he held the door open for her. Whenever she was around Derek everything seemed to be so easy and as if there wasn't a care in the world and she longed for those moments alone with him.

"I'm going to ignore that comment but I'm sorry to tell you that I will spare you Mark's favorite sightseeing activity for today."

"And what would that be? I thought his favorite past time activities wouldn't include sightseeing…" She really didn't know Mark Sloan too well but he didn't seem like the type of person who took a girl sightseeing…

"He always likes to hitch a ride on the SLUT." Derek glanced over at her and watched her face fall in disbelief before he decided to clarify, "South Lake Union Trolley."

"Oh, wow," She laughed and shook her head. "But seriously, who would ever use this as an acronym?!"

"Okay, so this is pretty old school," she commented when they exited Dick's drive through.

"I've seen you eat salad too many times, so non organic and not gluten free seemed like the healthy choice."

"You're right, this is much better than a salad." Addison glanced over at him and rolled her eyes at the smug smile he gave her. This Seattle tour really was promising so far and his company made it even better.

"Yeah, my sisters refuse eating here because they say, and I quote 'once on the lips, forever on the hips', something really is wrong with women…" Of course he loved his sisters but he didn't miss living with them at all!

"How many sisters do you have?" She tuned over to look at him as she ate her fries and cheeseburger once he had parked the car at a nearby lookout point. His company made it almost impossible for her to notice the city lights reflecting in the water.

"Four, so too many. You have no idea how limited time to get ready for anything you need a mirror for can be with four sisters."

"And yet your hair is so pretty," she teased and ran her fingers through his hair, watching the annoyed he gave her that was betrayed by the smile forming.

"How come you have never been married?" Addison tilted her head to the side when they stood in line in front of Derek's tourist spot number two – Seattle's Great Wheel. When she saw that he seemed to be a little taken aback at her forward question she gave him an apologetic smile. "Sorry, it's just that you'd be marriage material, you know." This made him smile and seem a little more comfortable with her blunt approach.

"I've just never found the right person…" He shrugged his shoulders but growing up with four sisters and his mom had taught him that this wasn't elaborate enough. "I was a geek in high school, as my sisters like to put it, and in college I just wanted to become a doctor and now I'm always working… Basically all people I meet have their brain smashed or some other disease," He joked and waited for her to get on the Wheel when it was finally their turn.

"A geek in high school, really, with looks like that?" She nudged him and rested her hand on his knee.

"While I like the flattery, I had an afro in high school and was in band." He watched her bite the insides of her cheeks to keep from actually laughing but he knew that sometime someone would have told her this and Mark would probably have shown her a photo, so it was better to tell her right away. "So I'm guessing you were the cheerleader dating the quarterback?"

"I know you're trying to tease me but I really was the head cheerleader in high school." When he gave her a 'come on look' she shrugged her shoulders. "Sorry… And I also dated and married the quarterback once we were in college, I wasn't a cheerleader then anymore, if that makes you feel any better." She chuckled because she knew it wouldn't. Most of her life everything had gone perfectly smooth. Growing up in a small town in Connecticut with enough money and horses, going to college and meeting the man of her dreams, getting married, having a wonderful daughter and a great career but apparently someone had to remind her that nothing ever went this smoothly…

"Yes, that makes me feel much better." He laughed and nudged her softly before wrapping his arm around her shoulders when they had almost reached the top of the wheel. A part of him still felt a little nervous that she would pull away from him because things were moving much too fast but he was, as always, pleasantly surprised when she leaned further into his embrace.

"It's really beautiful up here," she whispered when they looked down at the city that was surrounded by water on three sides, as Derek had told her quite enthusiastically, which had made him even cuter, if that really was possible. The view was more than just incredible and she couldn't help the slight disappointment when the wheel kept on turning, slowly bringing them back to the ground again.

When they were back down on the ground Derek took her for a stroll along the Seattle waterfront and had to smile whenever he looked at her. He hadn't felt this comfortable around anyone for a very long time. Okay, that was a lie, he had never felt that comfortable around anyone ever, and especially not around someone he had just met.

"So, Mr. Tourguide, do you take all your dates on this famous Seattle tour of yours?" She leaned against the railing and watched the reflection of the moon on the water before turning towards Derek again.

"Honestly? You're the first. The only other women who got this grand tour were my sisters and my mom and they complained about having to walk, about how boring it was here and about the greasy food, so you're handling it much better." He turned towards her as well and brushed a strand of her hair behind her ear.

"This is our last stop for the night," Derek told her once they stepped onto the deck of the ferryboat. "I mean, there's a lot more to see but I don't want to overwhelm you with all the beautiful spots in Seattle just yet." He gave her that smile that always made her melt just a little and moved to stand a little closer to her so that he could point out certain buildings along the skyline but she really wasn't paying too much attention with him standing this close to her. When she turned her head slightly to look at him she held her breath because now their faces were only inches apart and all she wanted was for him to just kiss her. Derek leaned a little closer and smiled when her eyes closed in anticipation right before his lips touched hers. One of his hands was resting in the nape of her neck, the other on her hip, as he held her close to him. Their kiss turned from soft and tentative to something more than that when her fingers trailed along his chest and she softly moaned into his mouth as his tongue slipped into hers. Derek's mind was running on overdrive before shutting down completely when his hold on her tightened. Slowly they began to pull back only slightly, their lips still almost touching as they regained their breathing. Addison couldn't wipe the smile off her face and ran her fingers through his hair before they realized that they had missed most of their round trip on the ferry.
