Two days later the interns were in the locker room, waiting for Dr. Bailey. She walked in with a purpose, as she always did. Alex tuned out until he heard his name, as he always did. "Karev, you're with Montgomery," Bailey announced.
Alex smiled. Not only did he get to see Ava again, he got to work with the object of his undying lust. There was just something about Addison. She was so smart and confident, and in his mind, that made her sexy. Then of course, there was the beauty. That didn't exactly hurt, either.
He smirked. Then he slapped his own head. "Karev, snap out of it!" She clearly had no interest in him, and thinking like that would not help him act normal around her.
"Karev," Dr. Montgomery nodded curtly, then went back to checking her charts.
"Satan," he replied just as curtly, but way more teasingly.
She turned around and fixed him with a glare over the top of her glasses. Although it didn't really bother her when he called her that stupid nickname, she couldn't let him get the upper hand.
"I mean, Dr. Montgomery," he hastily corrected himself. Then he noticed the direction they were headed in, "Uh, Dr. Montgomery, I'm not really sure if you're lost or whatever, but we're supposed to go that way," he pointed over his shoulder, back the other way.
"We're making a pit stop, Karev. There's a girl I know recovering from an accident and this is the first chance I've gotten to stop in and see her. It's a slow day and we have a couple minutes off. Not a word out of you, okay?"

Addison tiptoes into room 321, afraid of waking Holli if she was awake. Seeing a lump breathing regularly she began to turn around.
"I'm not asleep, you know," Holli announced, scaring both Addison and Alex.
"Oh, well then," Addison fought to regain that composure she was so famous for. "Hi, I don't know if you remember me, I mean you really shouldn't, the last time I saw you, you were only ten, and that wasn't that long of a visit," she started to babble.
"Of course I remember you, you're Addison Shepherd," Holli answered.
Alex, who had been taking a quick sip of water started to choke (yes, it is a cliché, live with it), "Shepherd?" he half-laughed, half-asked, "She hasn't been a Shepherd for, well, forever!" he was tearing up with laughter.
"Enough out of you, Karev," she snapped, fixing him with another Satan glare. He shut up instantaneously. She actually enjoyed torturing him with that glare, it was fun. Plus, it showed he did have a human side. Actually, she found that side of him really sexy. Whoa, where had that come from?
"You really should patent that glare," Holli said, struggling to sit up, "You'd make a killing."
"Here let me help," Addison walked over to the bed and made it sit her godchild in some semblance of up.
"You know, I really don't need this much help. All the damage is on my head, Dr. Shepherd, your ex I'm guessing, says so, so really I can sit up by myself."
"The more rest you get, the quicker you're out of here. And as much as I like having you on this side of the country, in the building I work in, I would prefer you not to be here," Addison explained. Alex was surprised at how much Addison sounded like a mother. Yeah, she was older than him, yeah, honestly, she probably should have had kids by now, but still, he had never heard that amount of love in her voice up until that moment, and it was kind of turning him- no, he could not think like that. She was his boss, plain and simple, and that was that.
"Well, fine then!" Holli exclaimed and stuck her tongue out, such an immature move that Alex started to crack up all over again.
"Karev!" Addison yelled.
"Sorry, Satan."
"Satan?" Holli asked, glancing between the two of them.
"Ignore him, he's an idiot," Addison said and checked her watch. "Anyways, I have to run but I'll come back soon okay?"
"You sound like you're dealing with a five year old, not a fifteen year old, but sure, okay," Holli answered with a grin.
