Addison took Meredith to Derek's trailer after they finished their Chocolate Devotion (A/N: flavor courtesy of loves2writestories). She wanted to tell Derek everything as soon as possible. Plus, she knew she needed to be tested for STDs and pregnancy, and she wanted Derek to take care of that for her. She came into the trailer to find Derek on the couch, a cup of coffee in his hand.

"Hey," he stood up and hugged her. "Are you okay? Chief said you weren't feeling well."

"I'm okay, but I need to tell you something."

"Okay."

"There is a reason that I didn't swim when I fell into the water," she paused, watching his face for some kind of reaction. "Not too long before that, I was raped in the hospital parking lot."

"No! Why didn't you tell me?"

"I thought I could just forget it happened, but it got to be too much. At first I was scared, then I was angry. I felt dirty and miserable."

The concern on his face was reassuring. He doesn't seem like he's disgusted. That makes me feel a little better.

"Have you reported it?"

"I did today. Addison went with me."

"Oh, okay. Well she probably…" he stopped, unsure of how much Meredith knew about Addison's past.

"I know. She told me. I need you to help me with something now."

"Anything."

"I should probably be tested for STDs and stuff."

"Addison is the OB/GYN."

"I want you to do it though."

"I will. Do you want to go now?"

"Yes."

Immediately, they left the trailer and headed toward the hospital. Derek went to the chief's office and asked him if they could use a private room. He led them to the nearest empty room.

"Shepherd?"

"Yes, Chief?"

"Try to remember to make up a chart," Richard answered with a wink.

"I'll do my best, sir."

To Meredith, Derek asked, "Are you ready to do this?"

"Here are my veins. Please poke them with needles," she held out her arms.

Derek took blood samples and sent them to the lab with a rush mark. Next, he did a complete pelvic exam. There were no injuries that he could see. After Meredith had redressed, they went to the lab to wait on the test results. Only a few minutes later, the lab tech handed Derek the lab results. He tried to hand them to Meredith.

"You look. Tell me if I'm okay."

He looked at the paper without any idea as to what he might find, but his lips curled into a smile.

"Meredith, you are completely healthy. There aren't any STDs, and you're not pregnant. You'll have to be tested for HIV again in a few months, just in case, but for now, you're fine."

She breathed a sigh of relief and took Derek by the hand.

"Let's get out of here. I'm tired."

"Good plan. Go home before we get pulled into a case."

Meanwhile, Addison was sitting in her apartment contemplating whether or not she should call Alex. She picked up her cell phone then put it back down, only to pick it up again.

"This is stupid," she said aloud. "Just call him already."

She scrolled down to find Alex's name on her contact list and pressed "OK." It rang once, twice, she was going to hang up when his voice came over the line.

"Hey! What's going on?"

"Not too much. What are you doing?"

"Nothing. The hospital is dead quiet tonight. Bailey said I could leave, but I don't really have anything to do at home either except clean up the joint," he sounded tired and bored.

"You want to have dinner?"

"Sure!" his voice seemed to perk up, but Addison thought it could have been her imagination. "I'm feeling a burger, but we can go wherever you like."

"I can make burgers. We could eat and watch a movie or something."

"That's fine with me. I'll go tell Bailey I'm leaving and come on over."

"Okay. I'll see you in a little while."

"Later."

Addison jumped off the couch and went into the kitchen. She stepped onto the balcony to light the charcoal grill she kept hidden from the landlord then began slicing potatoes. She preheated the oven to 375 and poured some olive oil into a bag and added the potato slices. As she was making the hamburger patties, her doorbell buzzed. She let Alex into the apartment, and he followed her into the kitchen.

"It will be a while before the food is ready."

"That's okay. You can keep me occupied," he put his arms around her waist.

When he saw the smile on her face disappear, he immediately felt bad. Why won't she let me kiss her?

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you."

"It's not your fault."

"Well, what's wrong then? Why won't you let me kiss you?"

"I don't kiss on first dates."

"But this is a second date."

"I don't usually kiss on second dates either."

"I can respect that. I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable."

"I'm fine. Are you usually this nice of a guy?"

"Honestly, no. It's different being around you. You're a great person, and I respect you."

"Is that going to change?"

"What do you mean?"

"When Derek left, Mark was the perfect guy. He was sweet and understanding, but it changed after a while. I don't want to put myself through another Mark."

"I'm not Sloan. I swear," he looked so completely revolted that she believed him.

"I believe you. Now, do you want to help me make dinner?"

"I can try."

"Well, that's all I ask. Do you like cheese on your burger?"

"Yeah. I like cheese, tomato, onion, pickles, and mustard. No mayo and no lettuce."

"Me too! What about bacon? I have some gourmet bacon that I could add to them."

"Sure. While you're at it, let's soak the burgers in barbeque sauce."

"Mmm. That sounds really good."

Taking Alex's advice, she placed the burgers in a bowl of barbeque sauce and some bacon on the grill. Next, she covered the potato slices in Emeril's Original Essence and slid them into the oven. After allowing the burgers to soak, she put them on the grill wrapped in the bacon. When everything was settled and cooking, she turned to Alex.

"I think I could teach you how to cook."

"Maybe. I might be a hopeless case. Then again, I have a crush on the teacher. I might actually pay attention."

"Alex!"

"I'm just being honest."

She went over to where he was perched on the counter top, eating olives from a jar, parted his knees with her hips, and set the jar on the counter beside him. This time, she put her hands around his waist. Addison leaned into his chest, their foreheads touching. They were exactly the same height with him sitting on the counter top. She kissed him lightly on the lips.
