The Aftermath of a Deal by Nehebka
Chapter 4
Alex went to the stairwell. He heard a crying noise coming from a few flights of stairs below. He looked down.
"There you are. I stopped by in your room just to see how you were doing but you were gone" said Alex. She looked up. "Are you ok?" asked Alex. She just looked down.
"Yeah. I-I just had a bad day-" crocked.
Alex went downstairs to meet her and sat down next to her. He tucked a piece of hair behind her ear. "You kind of had me worried today" he said looking comfortingly and concerned.
"I-I am perfectly fine" she said as she couldn't stop crying and breathe difficulty.
"Shh. Slow down. Deep breaths" he said as he stroked her hair.
She took on of his hands in hers and held onto tightly. Her breathing slowed down and she stopped crying. She rested her head against Alex's shoulder. Karev brought up his other free arm around her and rested his head against hers. She wiped her tears away and stood up.
"Oh, god... I'm sorry. You must think I'm crazy, isn't it?"
"Stop it" Alex said as he stood up.
"Stop what?"
"Stop pretending nothing happened. "Addison, you are not fine, and you should be ashamed to ask help. Sometimes you need to let yourself be taken care of... Let me take care of you" he said as he stroked Addison's face. Suddenly he leaned in and kissed her.
"Why did you do that?" she mumbled. "Do you feel sorry for me?" she said taking two steps behind.
Alex shook his head. "I did it because I wanted to. Because I want YOU" he said as he stepped closer to her once again.
"I am not the most suitable woman for you right now" she said glancing down at her hands.
"Shh-" he replied and kissed her softly.
She pushed him away gently. "I-I'm not ready to start any relationship, it would be the most stupid thing I could do right now"
He nodded. "I understand and I will wait until you'll ready. I will not go anywhere".
She sighed, wrapped her arms around him and kissed him.
"What about all the things you have just told me?" he asked.
"I love you Alex. Let's be stupid".
He wrapped his arms tightly around her waist laughing of happiness. "I love you too, Addison."
