Chapter 19 - Tomorrow Comes Today

"Good afternoon, board." Addison said slowly removing her glasses as she looked at her reflection in the mirror. Meredith walked into the bathroom brushing her teeth; she smiled slightly, it was a rather funny scene, Addison standing in matching peach lace underwear with her hair up in a profession bun and her glasses being replaced on her nose. Mere spat the excess toothpaste from her mouth into the bath; then turned the cold tap and ran her toothbrush under it.

"Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen of the board... I'm so grateful for this opportunity." Addison said, still playing with the way she took off her glasses.

"Don't wear the glasses." Mere said walking up behind her kissing her neck and wrapping her arms around her waist, "You fiddle with them, it makes you look indecisive. And stop stressing; it will be like any other job interview. What do you consider your strengths? What do you consider your weaknesses?" Addison turned in Meredith's arms, Mere kissed her softly,

"I thought you liked my glasses," Addie asked wiping some of her lipstick from Mere's face,

"I do, but you fiddle. And they make you look…" A devilish grin spread over Mere's features, "hot. Really hot. Take them off now before I make us late."

Addison chuckled and kissed Mere again softly, "Mm, I love you."

"I love you too." Mere murmured against Addie's lips,

Alex walked in, he gave Mere and Addison a look, "I'm gonna have a shower now, so unless the two of you want to join me…"

Mere glared at him and pulled Addie out of the bathroom by her wrist.

"I'm capable of walking by myself Mere."

Meredith shrugged, "Distract me."

"Mere baby, if he pisses you off this much just kick him out." Addie sighed,

"I can't kick him out. He's… he hasn't pursued it. He got caught in the moment and tried to kiss you but nothing happened, and nothing's happened since. He's like Mark, he'd go there if he could, but he won't get in the way of us."

Addison nodded and pulled Meredith into her arms, "As long as you're okay, baby."

Meredith kissed Addison softly, "Don't worry about me Addie. Just prepare for your meeting with the board, ok?"

"Okay." Addison kissed Mere once more, a bit deeper this time, Meredith moaned slightly but the two reluctantly pulled back and moved out of the room.

Meredith headed down the stairs and walked into the kitchen, Izzie smiled at her, "Hey, ooh, love that bra."

Meredith rolled her eyes, "It's a girl-bra."

"As opposed to a man-bra?" Izzie grinned,

"Shut up. You know what I meant. It's girly. Pink and lacy with a flower pattern and rosettes." Meredith scrunched her nose, "Addie bought it for me."

Izzie shrugged and continued to eat her French toast as Meredith poured herself and Addison coffee, and placed them on the table before turning to Izzie and giving her a look.

"What?"

"You know I'm hopeless at cooking-"

"I'm not cooking you breakfast."

"Oh come on Iz, you love to make us breakfast, and besides, Addison has an interview with the Board today. She needs the support."

"Oh fine." Sighed Izzie, "But only because Addison needs a healthy start to the day, don't lie to me Meredith, I saw you eyeing last night's pizza."

Meredith grinned, "Thanks Iz, I'm just gonna go upstairs and get dressed."

Meredith moved quickly up the stairs and almost ran into Addison as she tried to get into their bedroom, Addie smiled and kissed her quickly, "You got Izzie to make us breakfast didn't you?"

"You can thank me later."

Addison laughed, "Mere, baby, do you know where the washing basket is?"

"Hallway."

They moved passed each other and Addison moved down the hall; she bent over the basket, shifting through the clothes trying to find her brown pencil skirt, behind her she heard the sound of a door opening, Alex stepped out of the bathroom, a white towel wrapped around his waist. He paused as he saw Addison, taking a moment to look over her long defined legs, her rounded ass, her bare back, and once she'd straightened up and turned around, the swell of her breasts.

"Karev," His eyes snapped to hers, "If Meredith were to find you doing that-"

"Doing what?" Mere asked as she came out of her room, dressed for the day,

"Nothing baby." smiled Addie, "Have you seen my brown pencil skirt?"

"It's hanging up downstairs, Izzie ironed everything last night."

"Right," Smiled Addie, "Thanks." She walked down the hall, followed by Alex whose eyes dropped back to Addison's hips and ass, something that didn't go unnoticed by Meredith.

Meredith didn't say anything, but instead gave Alex the benefit of the doubt and let him walk to his room. She had to give him the benefit of the doubt. She had to. When she'd first started living with George and Izzie, she'd noticed George having the occasional glance at her and Izzie, Alex was just more… obvious about how he appreciated a woman's body.

And then there was the fact that Addison was hot. Really hot. Tall, with long legs. A great ass. She was just… Meredith flushed, she had to focus or she'd be frustrated all day.

So really, Mere couldn't blame him for looking at Addison. She could however, blame Addison for walking around in just her underwear. Sure a few minutes ago Meredith hadn't been wearing a shirt, and down stairs Izzie was the opposite, with a shirt but no pants, but neither of them walked around in just bra and panties. It was always shirt and undies, or pants and bra.

Or pants and shirt.

With a sigh Meredith moved through the house. She had to get ready for her day, but for the moment she couldn't help but think about how much attention Alex gave Addison, both at home and at work.

That night at the end of her shift Meredith walked to Addison, who sat at a nurse's station.

"Hey," Meredith smiled,

"Hey, ready to go?"

"Yea, I just gotta do one thing though."

Addie nodded, "Meet you at the car?"

"Okay."

Addie placed the chart in her hand back in its rack and stood up, she pressed a kiss to Mere's lips softly before walking down a corridor leaving Mere to her task of checking Jane Doe's post-op status. Meredith spent a moment trying to locate the chart, when she came to a loss as to where it would be she decided to go to Jane Doe's room instead.

"I'm impressed, Karev." Addison said mean while as she lent in Jane Doe's doorway, "You spent the whole day watching a foetal monitor and never complained."

"Well, I do what I'm told."

"Since when?" Grinned Addison,

"Depends on who's doing the telling." He said with a flirtatious smirk,

Addison smiled at him and gently spoke, "Good night, Dr. Karev."

She moved off down the corridor and around a corner just as Meredith turned a corner into the corridor. Mere walked to Jane Doe's room and paused, she heard Alex and Jane talking,

"….answer to that for a while." Jane murmured, Meredith only catching the end of the sentence, "What do you say we talk about you and the redhead for a while?"

"Well, the redhead's my boss, so..."

"So?"

"Well, it's complicated." Alex was saying,

"And?"

Alex laughed, "And …I like her."

Meredith frowned and walked in, "Hey Alex." She said with false cheeriness, "I was gonna chart before I left but-"

"Oh I got it," He said with an awkward chuckle,

"Thanks." She smiled, "Have you seen Addie by the way?"

"Uhh, she was just uh, in here. A second ago. I think she was heading home."

Meredith nodded, "Thanks." She made to leave, but paused and turned back, "Oh and Alex, if I hear about, walk in on, or see you flirting with my fiancée again, you can move out ok? You're making Addie uncomfortable."

She left and Alex turned to Ava who was giving him a fixed look, he shrugged at her, "I told you it's complicated."
