The Reluctant Dominatrix
Chapter 2: Mysterious Forces of the Universe
After Meredith Grey finally recovers (relatively) from having suddenly and catastrophically with Addison Montgomery-Shepherd on Tinder, Meredith decides that she's had at least one too many tonight, and she decides to ask Joe to help her hair a cab home for the night.
"Too tired to drink away your sorrows today?" Joe quips as hails her a taxi.
"Too many sorrows to count on tequilas," Meredith answers in a sullen mood, and Joe knows better than to push her any further.
Meredith sighs as she puts her phone away and plugs it in, gets ready for bed, and finally tucks herself in for the evening. She'll have to deal with the consequences of her accidentally way too dark and twisty activities.
But of course, as her luck had her, despite all of her wishing and hoping into the mysterious forces of the universe, when she finally did wake up in the morning she checks her phone reflexively, and still sees their Tinder match clear as day. Damnit!
And of course, to make matters worse, she now soberly remembers that that means that Addison has seen that picture of her, where's she's wearing- and she's holding- and she's just so embarrassed she wants to run off to some foreign land like Tahiti perhaps, or at least anywhere that doesn't have any Montgomeries .
Her pager goes off though, and Meredith's intern reactions kick in again, and she dresses herself in her scrubs, and she drives herself off to the hospital.
"Good morning," Derek Christopher Shepherd tries to make nice to her, and it pisses her off to no end.
"Morning, Meredith says gruffly, as she politely moves away and begs silently for the elevator to bring them to their destination faster.
"So I was thinking Meredith, last night was kind of chaotic, and-" Derek tries to drone on, but Meredith had no patience for listening.
"Well, isn't this cozy…" None other than Addison freaking' Montgomery steps onto the elevator and chimes in with a well-timed maneuver.
"Hmm-" Derek sulks as he's greeted by his wife and his mistress both equally glaring at him.
Meredith feels the redhead's presence in the tight space of the elevator, and it sets it off-kilter. She can tell that Addison is probably thinking about their Tinder matching, and she has no idea how to think about that, because she has no idea whether or not she's told Derek by now that they'd matched with each other no less than an hour after they'd met each other.
"Addison-" Derek begins, and Meredith can't contain her groan at him trying with her while she's literally right beside both of them.
But to her everlasting credit, Addison doesn't answer her husband when he tries to address… Whatever… WIth her, and instead, she simply stares right ahead of him, and ignores him, just how Meredith had been right before then.
It stirs something in Meredith, and she hopelessly imagines there's something to be said about the solidarity that the tall she-devilish doctor is offering her here, without her having had any reason on earth to earn it from her.
When the elevator dings for the floor that Derek's service is on, he gets off, turning back and staring between them before deciding to cut his losses and just keep moving forward.
And then, the elevator door finally shuts closed, leaving Meredith Grey to finally fend for herself in the face of the she-Shepherd, who is staring her down with a piercing gaze locked towards her the moment the neurosurgeon has left the elevator.
"You know, I never did tell him about our… Connection we made last night," Addison muses to Meredith in a low and sultry voice, as Meredith gulps at the intimidating presence of her newfound… Colleague? Boss? Teacher? She's not sure for certain, but Addison IS wearing a lab coat that has her name embroidered on it with Dr. in front of it, and that has to mean something like that, right?
"Oh…" Meredith swallows hard when she realizes she has no idea what to say, and she's just there, staring right into the shining green eyes of this woman, who is totally freaking out by how sparkling she's making them look at the moment.
"You look adorable in that photo, by the way," Addison's voice drops an octave as she keeps talking to her, and it mkes Meredith feel some unspeakable things all of a sudden.
"R-really!?" Meredith squeaks. Squeaks! At Addison's praise she beams internally, and thereby possibly externally as well, and by the way that Addison is still looking at her, Meredith can tell that Addison can tell the effect that she's definitely having on her.
"Yeah, you do," Addison confirms, as she slowly moves her hand out to place it gently onto Meredith's cheek, and then caresses her face ever-so-slightly.
Meredith's breath catches in her throat, and her pupils go wide, and she's speechless by the contact that she's currently sharing with this leggy-and-fabulous-goddess.
"Your whip though…" Addison begins, and Meredith can feel her cheeks burn at the mention of her rather… Excentric and suggestive front image…
Addison shifts her hand down to her shoulder, and Meredith's body reacts unconsciously towards the redhead, curling under her touch, craving it despite being so completely engulfed by it.
"I think you might have been holding it backward," Addison quips, before she steps off the elevator, winking at Meredith and withdrawing her hand before she steps away from the blonde doctor entirely, leaving her to process the implications of Addison's statement all to her lonesome again.
She's seen it.
Seh's understood it.
And she's understood these… Things… Even better than I have.
And those are the thoughts that are still drifting through Meredith Grey's mind as she asks Dr. Bailey where she's headed that morning, and of course because karma such things definitely totally hates her, she heads off in the direction of a brand-new-to-the-city's surgical Attending Physician, who has already requested her as one of Seattle Grace's most 'popular interns'.
