I apologise for the lack of updates. Work seems to have taken over. And, believe it or not, I've actually had a social life! Crazy, I know.

Still, I don't own Grey's Anatomy. Nor do I own Derek or Addison. But on the way to my sisters house, there is this house which has an Airstream Trailer in their driveway! I want it! But I doubt they'd sell it to my for what little money I actually have.

It was impossible to ignore him, or be mad at him in anyway at all. Especially when he was being sweet and charming, and the man that Addison had fallen in love with back in Med school. She hated it, she wanted to be mad at him for so many reasons, but she couldn't. One look at that smile and she felt as though she just melted, as though every single problem they ever had just disappeared. So, watching him as he sat in the lobby looking through a magazine, Addison couldn't help but smile to herself. Even though it had been his day off and he could have done anything, he could've gone fishing, spent the day watching the ferry boats, or anything away from the hospital for that matter. He had spent the day at the hospital, with her. There had been her surgery, but she had looked up to see him sitting in the gallery watching her, and for the first time in a long time, Addison had felt herself blush slightly because of his presence.

Walking up to him, Addison sat on the seat beside him and leant her head on his shoulder as she looked down at the magazine he was looking through. "Hey." She mumbled, trying to hold in a yawn, but failing miserably.

"Someone tired?" He asked with a small grin as he closed the magazine, leaning forward to put it on the small table in front of them, causing Addison to move her head quickly.

"A little." She lied. She could easily just fall asleep there given the opportunity, but she knew that Derek wasn't going to let her just fall asleep in the lobby. "Derek?" Addison questioned as she looked up at her husband.

"Yeah?" He replied, looking at Addison as he stood up.

"Why did you come in today? I mean, you could've gone fishing or something. Something where I didn't have to be around, but you were here, all day. You were here." She knew he had said that he wanted to spend time with her, but she couldn't help but think there was something more to it, something he wasn't telling her.

Holding out his hand to help Addison up from her seat once he was standing, Derek let out a soft sigh and kissed her gently on the lips once she was standing. "I wanted to take you to lunch." He said simply as he picked up his briefcase before taking her hand in his free one.

"Derek." She warned gently, she wasn't going to fall for that thing, that was what he had said before, but there was something else behind it. "We're meant to be making this work, and how exactly is it going to work if you don't talk to me?" Walking outside, she let go of his hand and pushed both of hers into her coat pockets, she had a feeling that she wasn't going to get anywhere with him, but she wanted to try.

"We are working this out, Addie. If we weren't, I wouldn't have shown up here today, would I?" He asked as he glanced at her walking along beside her. "Where did you park? Or we could leave your car here and take mine?"

"I'm over there." She nodded in the direction of her car. "You'll be leaving before me in the morning, so if we just went separately, that would be best." Addison continued to walk in the direction of her car and she was unsure of whether he was actually following her or not until she felt his arm around her waist pulling her close.

"You'd get mad." Derek said quietly as he tightened his grip ever so slightly around Addison.

"What do you mean, I'd get mad?" She turned to face him, moving away from him slightly as she looked at him. "Derek?"

"I... You'd get mad, Addie."

"You've already told me that, Derek. What would I get mad about? I'd like to know that." She asked, feeling a little annoyed now.

"I hate it when you get mad. I mean, I like it because you look gorgeous when you're angry, but I hate the yelling." His voice was quiet, a lot quieter than it usually was when Addison started to raise her voice at him, he usually done the same back to her.

"If it makes it any better, I won't yell." She sighed as she spoke, still keeping a slight distance from her husband as she looked at him expectantly.

"Promise?" He whispered as he kept his eyes on her

That look, she couldn't say no, she didn't promise, not with that look on his face. She hated him, right at that second, she hated him. "I promise." Actually, she hated herself more for agreeing to it.

"I came to see Meredith." He mumbled, glancing away from Addison for a few seconds before looking back, and he could tell she wanted to yell, that she regretted promising him that she wouldn't.

"You... You came to see... Meredith?" She questioned, barely able to get her words out. They were trying to make things work and her husband hadn't come into work to see her, he had come in to see his little intern. "So, you didn't want lunch with me really? It was just because I saw you talking to her, that you just happened to ask me to go to lunch with you."

"No!" Derek said firmly as he looked at her, his voice louder than before. "No. If I could've done, I would've spent all day with you Addie, and I did. Kind of. Even when you were in surgery, I sat there in the gallery watching you. Then, I was actually with you for the rest of the day." Derek let out a sigh as he looked down at the ground for a few seconds, before looking back up to Addison. "I came in to see Meredith. I'm not gonna deny that. I didn't come to start up anything again, I couldn't do that to you again. I just wanted to clear the air, make sure she knew that you were it for me, that I wasn't going to leave you again. I wanted her to know that before I was back at work, before I made some stupid mistake of being around her constantly tomorrow. It's only fair she knows where she stands, and she knows that I'm in my marriage until the end." Derek knew he could say more, but he chose to leave it at that in hope that Addison would no longer be mad at him.

"That's not the point, Derek. You came in to see her, you didn't come in to see me, like you said. You lied, Derek." Addison stated as she began to look through her purse for her car keys, once she found them, she looked back up at Derek and let out a sigh. "I get that you lied to keep me happy, but right now, I'm not. If you'd just told me earlier, when I saw you talking to her, we wouldn't be standing here like this."

"I'm sorry, Addie. I am. I just knew you'd get like this, and I didn't want you to." Derek had a feeling that even though it wasn't the biggest lie ever, Addison wasn't going to just let it go easily.

"I'll see you back at the trailer." She muttered before turning back around to her car, only to be stopped by Derek's hand on her arm. "What?" She asked as she turned back around only to be met by his lips. Nothing too much, just a soft kiss on the lips.

"I love you." Derek said quietly before letting go of her arm and turning away, walking back to his car. She could be mad at him all she wanted to be, but Derek wasn't going anywhere. He wasn't going to walk away from her to suddenly change his mind about Meredith. He was going to give her some space, they'd make their way back to the trailer separately and maybe if her mood had changed, they'd talk then.

He loved her. Derek Shepherd still loved her. Even though he had said that he did when they had their fight, something about the way he had said it then was different. The way she had turned to just leave him standing there and was pulled back by her husband just so he could place a simple kiss on her lips, followed by those three words she hadn't really heard in such a long time. God, she hated her husband. Addison hated her husband for making her feel this way. He was an ass, and she wanted to be mad at him, she needed to be mad at him, but how could she do that when he was saying things like that to her.

"Damnit Derek." She muttered to herself as she sat in her car after taking the ferry across to Bainbridge Island. There weren't that many cars on it, so it wasn't long before she was driving off and heading in the direction of the trailer. After he had left her standing there, Addison had managed to get into her car, but she just sat there thinking about everything that had been happening between the two of them. Derek Christopher Shepherd was an ass, and he shouldn't be able to make her feel that way just by placing his lips to hers for a few seconds. But she loved it, she absolutely loved the feeling.

After the short drive to the trailer, she saw his car already parked, and then she noticed him sitting out on the porch, with a beer in his hand. Turning the engine off, Addison grabbed her purse from the passenger seat before getting out of the car and walking in the direction of the trailer, in the direction of her husband. Without saying a word, Addison just sat beside him and reached for the beer that was in his hand and took a sip of it before handing it back to him.

"I love you too." She whispered as she began to fiddle with the zipper on her purse. Hearing her husband laugh slightly, Addison looked up at him confused. She'd just told him she loved him and he was laughing.

"You really had to have a drink before you told me that?" He teased as he put his arm around her and pulled her in to himself.

Knowing that he wasn't laughing at the fact that she had told him she loved him, Addison smiled a little and leant into her husband, placing her hand on his thigh. "Shut up. You didn't give me chance to say it before, you just walked away."

"Because I didn't want you to yell at me for doing that, I wanted to give you time to calm down. I didn't want to stand there in the parking lot and have an argument with you, Addie." Derek said honestly as he placed his beer down and turned to face Addison a little more. "I get that you're annoyed with me, Addie. I'm sorry that I lied over something so stupid, but you reacted exactly like I knew you would. I didn't want you to be in a bad mood with everyone at work because of me. Plus, I wanted to spend time with you. I still enjoy watching you work."

"You've gotta be honest with me, Derek. We're just going to keep going round in circles if you're not honest with me." Addison leant in and pressed her lips to his, like he had done earlier in the parking lot, before letting out a small content sigh when she pulled away. "You used to distract me back when we were studying. You sitting there watching me always put me off."

"You loved it."

"I'm not denying that. But I could never concentrate."

"And now?"

"Some things never change. The whole time you sat in my office today, I didn't do anything. I had a blank piece of paper and I spend that hour scribbling on it." She felt herself blush as she looked into his eyes, but the smile was spread across her face.

"With my name and little hearts around it?" He teased, leaning in for yet another kiss.

"With your name and little hearts around it. Happy?" She replied before kissing him softly.

"Always." He mumbled against her lips, pulling her closer to himself as he wrapped his arms around her.
