So here is the next chapter as promised:) Thought you would like a couple updates in a row since you all are such amazing readers and reviewers! Thank you for all your support for this fic. It's highly appreciated. Anyway...this A/N is going to be a bit longer than usual.

First of all, the whole conversation between Callie and Addison...it might be a little out of character. Neither of us are incredible at writing Callie so we apologize in advance if it seems a little off.

Secondly, there is a part in this fic that you will come across that might be a little controversial to some people. It deals with safe sex and although we are both huge advocates of what Kate is promoting and speaking about in the U.S. with Planned Parenthood, we felt like this situation fit here. That might be out of character as well considering the show is written by women for women. So the use of a condom would probably be included in the show although we don't believe there has been any mention of it when Alex slept with anyone. Or anyone who has slept with anyone for that matter. But more importantly, Alex. So since we couldn't remember it mentioned on the show, we figured we didn't need one here. Sorry...we're rambling...anyway, we mean no offence by that little part so sorry for any that someone might feel. We just felt like we should warn you first.

Last but not least...THIS IS THE LONGEST CHAPTER SO FAR!! YAY! So hopefully we more than made up for the cliffhanger/angst in the last chapter. Hope you all enjoy this chapter if you're still reading the A/N. Thanks again everyone!!

An Affair To Remember

Addison walked into the hospital the next day a little worried and anxious about her impending conversation with Callie. She knew that she had to tell her best friend what was going on, but she just didn't know how to break the news to her. A laugh escaped her lips as she realized there wasn't really any news to break because the position her best friend caught her and Alex in was more than enough evidence. The lobby was filled with silver, black, and white balloons for the prom tonight. Addison was going with Derek because it would just look odd if she didn't and of course Alex was going with Izzie. That reminded her once again that she had to talk with Callie. She sent her a page saying 'Lunch. My office. Let's say around 1:30. See you then!' and once Callie responded with an 'Okay', she went about her day.

Alex and Addison were careful not to flirt in the public eye. There were nurses and doctors all over the place and considering this hospital was a gossip mill, she didn't want anything getting back to Derek just yet. Alex didn't want Izzie to find out that way either, so they kept their relationship in front of everyone else strictly professional. There would be moments however, where they would slip up and look at each other a little too long or brush hands in the O.R., but nothing really obvious.

Lunchtime came around before she knew it and Addison found herself munching on a Ceasar Salad with Callie sitting impatiently on the couch.

"So you owe me one hell of an explanation young lady. Spill." Callie said in her best condescending tone.

"Okay, okay. It all happened when we went to New York a few months ago. We both swore nothing would happen, but one thing led to another and suddenly he was there half naked and all steamy from the shower and soon I was pushed against..."

"Okay I don't need all the dirty details. I just want the basics. So far you're off to a good start."

"Okay fine. Well we slept together one time in New York and agreed that is was for the best that it never happen again and to be honest, since then it hasn't, but it's been on my mind constantly. He and I work so closely together all the time and if we just stopped, then people would wonder what happened. We're the best surgical team this hospital has to offer so I can't just kick him off my service Callie."

"Yeah that's true. But have you thought about leaving Derek? Is he willing to leave Izzie?"

"Well to be honest we haven't really discussed it in that much detail. For right now we just know we want to be with each other. It's harder for him to tell Izzie because now suddenly she wants to have a baby. So that messes up things a bit, but I'm not going to be the one to tell him to leave her. He needs to do that on his own. Derek and I haven't been in a relationship for quite some time. Hell, he will barely even touch me in bed. I think he is sleeping with Meredith Grey anyway. Who knows. He and I have been over for a long time. Actually, I don't know why we are still married. He fed me some bullshit line about his reputation and that is the night I left and stayed at the Archfield."

"Wait...back up. You stayed at the Archfield and didn't call me over? Some best friend you are."

"Hey. I forgot you were staying there and I just wanted to get some sleep. You know I love you and I will have you over the next time I'm there. Which will probably be sometime soon. We'll have a girl's night and get ridiculously drunk while we gossip over men and watch sappy chic flicks. But back to the matter at hand. What am I going to do Callie?"

"Well if I hadn't walked in here yesterday, would you have slept with him again?"

"I...I don't know. Most likely, yes. But somewhere in the back of my head, my mind would be telling me it would be a bad idea. So I don't know. I'm just glad it was you that came in instead of someone else. We thought the door was locked but we were clearly mistaken."

"So you've not mad at me for walking in on you two?"

"Callie of course not. You're my best friend and you obviously have the best, worst timing of anyone I know but you probably saved me from getting caught by someone else so I actually owe you a thank you. Thank you." Addison said as she cocked her head to the side and peered at her best friend over the rims of her glasses. The two women shared a laugh before things got serious again after a few minutes of silence.

"So I think you should tell Derek. He doesn't deserve you Addie. You are way too good for that and if you've found someone who makes you realize that then I say go for it. It may not be the most likely pairing and it may not be easy but I'm not one to judge on that subject."

"Callie I'm really nervous. What if something happens and I leave Derek and Alex stays with Izzie. I won't have anyone and what will I do then?"

"Addison Montgomery, you do NOT strike me as the type of woman who has ever depended on a man before so why should you start now?"

"It's different with him. He makes me feel something Derek never did."

"Loved?"

"Well yes, but in a different way. Derek loved me once upon a time and in his own weird way I think he still does. He and I just aren't in love with each other anymore. But I do still care about him. I always will. Just like I'm sure Alex will always care about Izzie. I think he knows something is going on between me and Alex though. After the whole elevator incident the other day, Derek has forbid me to see Alex anymore. I told him off, but at the same time, I knew I had slipped up when I ran to Alex."

"Wait, he forbid you to see Alex? Who the hell does he think he is? I can break something in his body if you want me too."

Addison chuckled, "No that won't be necessary. I can see where he is coming from. Derek has always been highly insecure and this time with good reason, but he should have thought about that before he stopped caring."

"I'm so glad you are getting out of this relationship. After tonight, you should sit down and talk with him. Tell him that you just don't want to be married anymore and from the looks and sound of things, I think he will agree your marriage is over."

"Yeah. Wow, my marriage is over. I haven't thought about it so bluntly. It's kind of scary when you think about it." Addison sat there staring off into space before Callie responded.

"Well you know I'm here if you want to talk, or whatever. I'm not a big fan of the whole girl-drama scene, but for you I will make an exception."

"Gee, thanks. Some best friend you are."

Callie shot her a playful look but Addison just laughed. She was so glad she could trust Callie with this and now she had someone to talk to about it. Now all she had to do was get through the night without any complications and she and Derek could talk tomorrow.

AddexAddexAddexAddexAddexAddexAddex

Addison and Alex had been eyeing each other all night. They wanted so badly to be close to one another, but Derek and Izzie were proving to be large and obvious obstacles. They were seated at different tables which made it difficult for them to even concentrate on the conversation at hand. Derek finally turned to Addison and said, "Hey sweetie, I need to go check on a patient. I will be back in a little while." Addison just nodded her head in agreement and he caught her staring at Alex.

"Remember what we talked about Addie. Stay away from him."

"Don't call me Addie and don't pretend to start caring about who I talk to or see. Don't you have a patient to go check on somewhere?" Addison replied clearly annoyed with Derek's tone of voice.

"This isn't over Addison."

As he walked away, she murmured to herself, "It's been over for a while now honey."

As soon as Alex saw Derek leave he made sure Izzie was engrossed in conversation with the other people at the table before he excused himself and walked over to Addison. Izzie watched them interact and saw them get up to go dance. She felt that was safe as long as she could see them on the dance floor. Izzie went right back to talking with Meredith and Christina about some cool new surgery Mark was letting her in on tomorrow.

AddexAddexAddexAddexAddexAddexAddex

They had been on the dance floor for nearly fifteen minutes now. Neither wanted to be the first to let go. He loved to pull her onto the dance floor just to hold her close, to smell her perfume and feel her warm breath against his neck. This wasn't like the times they would go out after work and have a few drinks and enjoy a couple dances. No, this time it was different. His hand grazed along the length of her bare back and felt the abundance of soft skin that was exposed from the plunging back line of her emerald green dress. He intertwined their fingers together and placed their joined hands over his heart. She immediately felt his heart rate increase and hers soon did the same. Another slow song played through the speakers and as he held her close, and she would lay her head in the crook where his neck met his shoulder.

"I just want to stay here forever. Just like this." she whispered into the skin of his neck.

"Yeah me too. I'm glad Derek went to go check on a patient. I've been wanting to get you away from him all night."

She refused to let a tear slip down her cheek as she thought of how unfair it was that they couldn't be together.

"Alex?"

"Yeah?"

"I need you right now. I need to feel you against me." she basically pleaded as she leaned back and looked into his eyes. "I need to feel you inside of me." she barely whispered.

He grew rock hard in an instant as the drop dead gorgeous woman in front of him was basically begging him to take her upstairs and push her against a wall. He swallowed hard and pulled her flush against his body so she could feel that he wanted and needed her too. She whimpered when her body came in complete contact with his and bit her lip as her eyes fell shut.

"Meet me in the second floor supply closet near the on-call room I took you to after the elevator incident. We'll be discreet, I promise. I just want to be with you. I've missed you."

"I've missed you too but this is so dangerous. We're going to get caught. It's too risky. Can't we just leave?"

"Addie, if you're worried about getting caught then leaving is the last thing we should do. Everyone would notice we were gone. Look, you and I have waited long enough to be with each other again and I think that you should meet me upstairs in that supply closet. Even if it is only for ten minutes. I just want to be with you again. Alone with you. Without all these prying eyes. So just meet me upstairs." Alex looked at her with lust and passion in his eyes.

She looked at him and knew that there was no turning back now. "Okay." she concluded as she nodded her head in agreement.

Ten Minutes Later...

She walked up the stairs to the second floor, her skin tingling in anticipation. Standing outside the supply closet for a minute, she gained her composure and slightly opened the door. He pulled her inside and gasped as first as his lips came in full contact with her neck. His hands were a little cold as they dipped below the material of her dress that barely covered her rear. She threw her head back and sighed as he gripped her ass and pulled her body against his. This is what she had been craving for so long and now it was finally happening all over again. She never wanted it to end. Whenever she and Derek tried to have sex, it was Alex's hands and lips she was imagining all over her body. Their kisses had changed over the last few months. No longer was there any hesitation on her part as she welcomed his tongue against hers. Her hands moved to the back of his neck, pulling him closer, and her legs were now wrapped around his waist as he pushed her against the door as the kiss intensified.

His hands travelled up her thighs in search of her panties to pull them down, but was pleasantly surprised when he found none, and he broke the kiss for a second when she smiled wickedly against his teeth. He just smirked and kissed her harder, delving his tongue back into her mouth. His thumbs found her hipbones and gripped them as she fumbled with the belt on his pants. Finally freeing him, he shook his legs a little to push his pants down to his ankles and they both laughed for a second at how silly they must look. As he sank into her though, all coherent thoughts went out the window because for right now, Derek and Izzie didn't exist. Right now, they knew nothing but themselves in this tiny supply closet and that was one of the most wonderful thoughts that had invaded either of their minds in a very long time. Addison whimpered for a second at how perfectly they fit together and how wonderful it felt to have him finally inside of her again. Her head fell to his shoulder as he pulled out of her and pushed back in a little harder this time. Being the gentleman that he is, he pulled the chain tie that cascaded down her back out from behind her and draped it over her shoulder so there wouldn't be a suspicious looking mark on her spine because he knew that she was going to be pressed against that door pretty hard for the next few minutes. She smiled at the gesture and kissed his neck as a thank you.

He began to move faster now, and both of their breathing patterns escalated as they were getting closer and closer. He knew she was a little wild in bed and was definitely a screamer, so he had to do something when she came or else they would definitely be heard by someone who may be walking the halls. He had to move them to an adjacent wall because the banging against the door became a little too loud for both of their comforts. She tried very hard not to tilt her head back against the wall for fear of messing up her hair, but found it increasingly difficult when he hit her just there almost every single time. She knew that this wasn't going to last long and felt that he knew it too. His hands took hers from around his neck and held them above her head so they were now moving against each other. His head was leaning over her shoulder, his forehead against the wall, which gave her a little better access to keep her head forward and shower his neck with gentle bites and soothing kisses. Her fingernails dug into the backs of his hands as her body began to shake a little bit when she could feel herself starting to lose control.

"Are you close?" he whispered against the soft skin of her neck.

"Yessss." she whimpered into his ear. That was the moment he took to realize he had no condom on. He stopped all movement and she gasped out loud and just stared at him like she was going to kill him if he didn't start moving again and soon.

"I'm not wearing a..." and she kissed him to shut him up. She knew exactly what he was going to say and she wanted to feel him come inside of her so she shook the statement off with a single word. "Pill." He nodded, smiled, and just like that, he slammed into her twice more and took her bottom lip in between his teeth which made her come. Hard. To which he instantly kissed her hard on the mouth, swallowing her screams. Their tongues dueled for dominance as he still moved inside of her, waiting for his own release. He found it a few moments later as she squeezed her inner muscles around him and felt herself starting to come all over again. This time one of his hands was flat against the wall above her shoulder and the other was wrapped around her waist to keep her close. Her hands moved to his shoulders and gripped the material of his tux in a desperate need to feel him against her as her body began to shake with pleasure once more. Out of all the men she had ever slept with, no one had ever given her multiple orgasms before. She felt him spill himself inside of her and the heat from both of them trickle down her leg. They were both sweating and were going to need to step outside for some fresh air before returning to the gala downstairs. Their foreheads were pressed against each other as their breathing slowly returned to normal between intermittent kisses. He reached behind him and laughed at the irony of being in a supply closet. There were clean towels everywhere. She smiled at him, noticing what he was looking at and broke the silence.

"Well now we know that we're good at two things."

He looked at her confused a little as he reached for two towels to clean themselves up with.

She grinned at his confusion and leaned her head into his so her mouth was hovering centimeters above his own.

"Picking a place to have sex, and then actually having it." she gave him that sexy grin she normally has permanently on her face and leaned in to kiss him.

He smirked as she kissed him. It was a intended to be a sweet and gentle kiss but he had other ideas as he pushed against her lips with his own, proving that he didn't want this to end. She met him with equal fervor to let him know she wanted to stay here too. He pressed a chaste kiss against her glistening forehead as she unwrapped her legs from his waist and planted her firmly on the ground. Her legs were still shaking a bit so she reached out to his shoulder for support. She took note of the fact that her hair was magically still in place and her dress didn't have a single wrinkle in it and that there was no evidence anywhere on either of them that this event ever occurred. Only in the movies she thought as she silently thanked the karma gods that were looking out for her tonight. He got dressed and took her hand in his before she opened the door. She turned around as he tugged her into him and kissed her passionately. It was slow and languid, as if this might be the last time they kiss for a while and he wanted to remember how good she tasted. Her hands immediately went to the back of his neck, not to pull him closer, but just to feel him there against her. Like if she let go, he would disappear. When they broke apart, he placed another quick kiss on her lips and she smiled. She opened the door and when she concluded that the coast was clear, grabbed his hand and led him outside onto a private balcony the hospital used for patients to watch the sunset. Once out there, she took their already joined hands and wrapped them around herself while leaning her head back onto his shoulder. He dropped a kiss to her bare shoulder then placed a trail along her neck, up to her jaw, then just below her ear. She closed her eyes and sighed in contentment, but soon realized they had been gone far too long and as much as she wanted to stay here forever, reality awaited them. She turned in his embrace and they locked eyes. He leaned down and kissed her softly before nodding, knowing what she was telling him and turned to walk inside. His hand never left the small of her back as they entered the ballroom once again. His thumb caressed the skin just above the material of her dress and she admitted that it was a risky and bold move on his part, but she was glad he did it. Derek was back by now and he and Izzie both noticed them coming back together, silently acknowledging their marriages were over.

"You should wear this dress more often Addie." She smiled shyly as Alex whispered this into her ear as a final thought before he reluctantly let her go back to Derek and back to reality. As she walked down the steps, her eyes connected with Derek and her heart leapt into her throat. He knew. Oh, this definitely complicates things.

Well yes this certainly does complicate things now doesn't it?? Anyway, we hope you enjoyed this chapter! Once again, if you missed it in the A/N there was no offence meant by the whole no condom thing. It just seemed like Alex. Well we hope to hear from you all soon!! Chapter 12 is in the works..and there is a 'little' surprise in it!
