A/N: Oh my! Has anyone seen the clip for this Thursday? If you haven't, I demand that you stop reading and go look (http://abc. Then of course come back and read.

Addison Montgomery was known for many things. She was first and foremost the best neo-natal surgeon in America, possibly the world. In addition, she was the ex-wife of McDreamy himself, Dr. Shepherd, and had had what everyone knew to be hot sex with McSteamy, Mark Sloan (that being the reason she was Shepherd's ex). Among her colleagues she was known as being strictly professional. However to the two previously-mentioned men and equally (if not more) delicious Alex, Addison was known for being a thoroughly enjoyable kisser.

Her heels clicked down the hall with a beat every drummer tried to mimic in a sultry number. She walked in a daze as her mind replayed what had just occurred between her and Karev. It did not make a bit of sense. Had he not just made it blatantly clear two days ago that he was not interested? Mark watched Addison's retreating form with a look of incredulity and embarrassment. Like hell would Karev ever be scrubbing in on a surgery with him.

By now (yes within two minutes), George had passed along what he had witnessed to Meredith, who in turn told Cristina. Thinking that Izzie was over Alex since Denny, Cristina pulled her into a vacant room and told her.

"Seriously?" Izzie asked with wide eyes and a dropped jaw. She still had feelings for Alex but she knew they would never be an item again. He cheated, she fell in love with Denny, and they were now content to be just friends. The kiss on the stairway had come as a surprise and neither had mentioned anything more about it.

Cristina, hyped-up on the drama of the morning, nodded her head. "Seriously."

"So how did she answer Sloan?"

Cristina stared at Izzie for a moment. "Damn it! Meredith didn't tell me. Where's George?" Izzie heard the question as Cristina was already at the door.

Addison entered her office and dropped into her chair. She knew either Chief Webber or Miranda, possibly both, would be knocking on her door any minute or paging her for an immediate counsel. With a racing mind she tapped a random pen and ran her fingertips over her lips. Alex kissed her. He couldn't wriggle out of this one. However he kissed her in full view of staff and right in front of Mark. Anger was rising up alongside lust. The two emotions met briefly, exchanged a passing 'hello', and combined together in a way that left Addison hot and bothered. She wanted to hit him and then push him down to have her naughty way with him.

Callie laughed openly as George filled her in on some details of the juicy gossip that had begun making its way around Seattle Grace. After thanking George for informing her and making plans with him for that night, she sought out the wicked redhead whom she knew would be seeking refuge in her office. As Callie rounded a corner she saw an enraged Dr. Bailey talking to an older nurse. From Bailey's stance and the way her lips had come together, Callie knew the subject matter.

"Did he now?" Bailey said, not intending for it to be a question. "I'm gonna go have a little talk with Dr. Karev right now and see what he has to say. Excuse me."

Callie immediately turned and faked interest in the nurses' station. 'Yep. Good stock of pens, no coffee stains. Everything looks good. And… she has passed.' She looked over her shoulder once for good measure and then took off for Addison's office.

Addison decided that she was going to find out exactly what drugs Karev was on and made her way toward the door just as Callie burst through and closed it behind her.

"Bailey. Alex." Callie said, trying to get her point across as quickly as possible. "Mad!" This word she drew out though and made a face for emphasis.

"How do you—?" Addison asked before 'mad' had escaped Callie's mouth. "Oh." She said. "Oh god!"

Callie moved out of the way and opened the door, expecting her to try to hunt down Alex before Miranda. Addison looked to her new friend gratefully and took a step, but then stopped. Changing her mind, she pulled the door from Callie, who was slightly reluctant to let go, and softly closed it.

"I think I'm going to let him suffer a little."

A/N: There will be one or two more chapters before the "Lyttle" hint plays out for those of you who know what I'm talking about. Yes, you guessed correctly. I'm sorry I couldn't get further than this tonight.
