"Ah, there they are!"
Derek and Addison entered Joe's Bar and were met with a flurry of colors and sounds. They had been married for about a month or two, and this was the first night they had off together. At work, they made all the efforts they could to eat lunch together and spend some quality time in the on-call room. However, the demanding work and the mindset that a doctor's job is never done prohibited any chance of a real date.
"Congrats, guys," Joe smiled. In the back of the bar he had hung a large banner that read "Congratulations Derek and Addison!" with wedding bells on it. "Drinks are on me tonight."
"Thanks Joe," Derek replied, clapping a hand on Joe's back, while Addison smiled and thanked him as well.
"Addison! Shepherd!" Burke called, waving the couple over. "Real congratulations are in order," he said, handing Derek a glass of scotch and Addison a cosmopolitan.
"Why thank you Preston!" Addison took the drink gratefully and managed to down it pretty fast.
"Cheers, Burke," Derek said, also drinking his quickly. "Refills!"
"What am I, your servant?" Out of nowhere, Sloan appeared with more drinks, a huge grin on his face. "It's not a party without me!"
Everyone laughed and started to drink some more, talking and reminiscing. "My god, it's like the wedding reception all over again," Derek remarked, amidst all the laughter.
"I wanna dance!" Addison suddenly exclaimed. "I love this song. Derek, come dance with me!"
"I don't think so Addie, I've never been much of a dancer..."
Addison shrugged. "Suit yourself."
She got up and started dancing wildly to the fast-paced rhythm of the music. Yet somehow, she still managed to look graceful and goddess-like in the process. Her fiery red hair whipped and fell perfectly around her shoulders, framing her beautiful face. Her grey-green eyes were sparkling, and she was smiling at Derek as she danced, beckoning him over.
Suddenly, the music changed, and a slow song came on. Joe pulled out a microphone and said, "Let's give it up for the newlywed couple, Derek and Addison Shepherd!"
Feeling slightly dizzy, Derek felt himself being pushed by Mark into Addison's arms. He wrapped her into an embrace, and their eyes locked together.
Beautiful dawn, lights up the shore for me...
Everyone was clapping and watching them dance together on the floor. Addison rested her head on his shoulder, and Derek did the same. I could stay like this forever, Derek thought, closing his eyes.
Beautiful dawn, you're just blowing my mind again...
With that, Derek pulled Addison in for a dramatic dip, and kissed her. Numerous comments of "Oh how cute!" and "Aww!" could be heard all around the bar.
Promise me tomorrow starts with you getting high, running wild among all the stars above...
As the song ended, everyone began clapping and cheering for them. I am the luckiest man in the world, Derek thought, seeing Addison's glowing face.
He was so happy he didn't even notice the woman sitting in the corner of the bar, a shot in her hand, gazing longingly at him.
