"Grey, Shepherd, Stevens, Sloan," Dr. Bailey announced one morning. Izzie groaned, Bailey ignored her, even when Izzie quite audibly "Stupid Nazi". "And lastly, Karev, you're with Montgomery," Ah, the intern gods had once again smiled upon Alex, although, truth be told, it didn't seem to be that uncommon anymore.

"Karev," Dr. Montgomery nodded, just as curtly as she did every morning.

"Satan," he answered, just as he had ever since that morning they had first visited Holli. And just like every morning since then, she fixed him with another McSatan glare. Holli was right, she should patent that glare, he thought to himself. But that glare was starting to have less and less effect on him. In fact, he was almost starting to find it sexy. Unless she really turned it up, and then it was just plain scary, like it was back in the good old days when he wasn't lusting after his boss.

"Another slow day. We're going to see Holli," There was no question if he was coming or not, she had said 'we' not 'I' and whether or not he wanted to come was not a factor.

--------------

"Hot Intern Guy! I mean, Karev," Holli exclaimed and quickly corrected herself because she was on the receiving end of a McSatan glare, as Addison and Alex walked in, "I'm so serious, go patent that glare! You would make millions from evil dictators and such!" Damn, the girl had guts, Alex thought. Sure, she had bent to the pressure of the McSatan glare, but then she went and made fun of it. Now, that had to be something new for Addison Forbes Montgomery.

"I am not going to patent my glare. I don't need the money," Addison explained calmly. And she was right, standing there in her Gucci skirt, Armani blouse, and Manolo Blahnik shoes. Not that Alex noticed the designer wear as he checked her out (purely because she had set herself up for it, of course). Nor did he notice that Holli was watching him, with a small smirk on her pretty little face.

"Hey, Addi, could you come here for a sec?" she asked innocently.

"Sure?" Addison walked towards the bed. Holli grabbed her hand and pulled on her arm so that Addison's ear was level with her mouth.

"Don't look now, but Hot Intern Guy's checking you out."

Addison, as much as she fought to keep control, could feel the beginning of a blush creeping up the back of her neck. "No, he's not. And his name's Alex."

Holli raised an eyebrow, the girl had just as many, if not more, facial expressions as Addison did, and, with a glint in her light blue eyes, asked, "Since when did he become Alex?"

"I meant Karev," Addison quickly corrected herself.

Then she felt hot air on the back of her neck and the pressure of one hand on her shoulder, one on her hip, not indecently, both of which made her tingle, as Alex (Karev! she mentally yelled at herself. Holli's question was a good one, when had he become Alex? She wasn't really sure she could answer that one.) brace himself against her and stood on tiptoe and asked in a stage whisper, What are we whispering about?"

"Nothing!" Addison exclaimed, far too quickly, and far too guiltily, "Nothing," she said more calmly.

"Really? I don't believe you."

"Karev, I'm your boss, don't antagonize me."

"Sorry, Satan." Then she saw that his hand was still on her shoulder and he was still standing directly behind her. The strange thing to her was that she didn't want him to move. She wanted to him to stay close to her, touching her, forever. But that wouldn't be very professional, and if Addison Forbes Montgomery was anything, it was professional, so she stared pointedly at his hand on her shoulder, which of course made Alex realize that he was still touching her, so he quickly moved. She smothered the sigh that was threatening to come out. Then she realized that she hadn't really breathed since he began touching her, only shallow, quick breaths that weren't actually all that sustaining. Why did her traitorous lungs stop working every time he was near?

"You know what, go do something else. Something that doesn't involve being in this room. I know, go get food! Guys love eating right? Okay, Buh-bye now!" Holli exclaimed, shooing him. Alex look at his attending, a question in his eyes.

"Good idea. Go do it. NOW!" Addison ordered. With only a small sigh, he walked out.

As soon as he was out of hearing, Holli blurted, "You two haven't slept together yet, have you?" It wasn't really a question, more of an exclamation of exasperation.

"Yet? Didn't we already have this conversation? I'm not going to. I don't want to!" Now if only Addison could convince herself of this.

"Puh-lease! With all the sexual tension between you two I could hardly function! You so want to jump his bones!"

"Ew," Addison flinched at the crass phrasing, "I don't. I swear upon my mother's grave I don't."

"Your mother's not dead. Can't swear on something that's not there. It eliminates the effectiveness of the swear. Which is pretty convenient, if you ask me."

"I do not want to sleep with Alex Karev!'

"You want to; you just don't know it yet."

"What?" Addison exclaimed. "How does that make any sense at all?"

"I'm just telling you what I see," Holli shrugged. Luckily for Addison, Alex (KAREV!) chose that moment to walk back in.

"Saved by the Hot Intern Guy, I mean Karev! Aren't you lucky? We are going to talk about this, no matter what I have to do to get it out of you, don't you worry. Hi Karev, how are you?" Holli blabbered.

"Get what out of her?" Alex asked.

"Oh, just how-"Holli started to explain, far, far too ready to explain the whole entire situation, even if it was just to clear all this stupid tension. Addison couldn't touch this guy without losing her breath, and this guy made every effort to touch her, therefore proving to Holli that the two of them were destined, even if just for a one night stand.

"None of your business, Karev," Addison cut Holli off, before she said anything. That stupid fifteen year old, no matter how much Addi loved her, could not for the life of her keep her mouth shut. Just to ensure that Holli knew that was the end of that conversation, she gave her another McSatan glare.

"Adds, I swear, patent that thing!" Holli exclaimed, frustrated that her attempt at making these two incredibly stupid people happy had failed.

"No. Now come on Karev, we have work to do," Addison said as she breezed out of the room and Alex followed her like a well trained puppy dog.
