Chapter 3 – We Gotta Be Strong
Meredith was once again going to be staying at Addison's hotel room. After yesterday, everybody knew the rumours about Mrs McDreamy, and Meredith was in no mood to talk about it, to explain everything. Telling them about Addie would mean telling them about Mindy, somewhere she did not want to go.
"Well she's still as energetic as ever." Commented Addison, as she started to change into pyjamas before handing Meredith an extra pair of navy scrubs to wear to bed.
Meredith laughed and nodded,
"And she's gorgeous." Grinned Addie, "Like you."
"Thank God she looks like me," Meredith spoke, "I wouldn't be able to look at her otherwise."
Addie nodded, "You're really great with her."
Mere smiled and climbed into the bed, Addison following. As soon as Addison was settled, Meredith swung her leg around and straddled her.
"Mere…" Addison said in a small voice, "What-" She was cut off by Meredith's mouth claiming hers.
As soon as Meredith's lips made contact with Addison's she felt the familiar tingling sensation that gave her weak kneed, light headed, irrational, a fantastic kisser and completely powerless to her own actions.
So even though her brain was using all its power to pull away, tell Meredith 'no', Addison's arms pulled Meredith closer, their mouths moving so perfectly against each other like they had all those years ago.
Meredith drew back for air and the two lay panting, drinking the oxygen in.
"I don't wanna be that." Whispered Addie,
"What?"
"Your rebound from Derek."
Meredith looked away, "Oh."
Addison sighed and let her hands run up and down Meredith's sides, "It's just if you keep kissing me I'll loose control, and I don't want to ruin anything between us."
Meredith didn't say anything.
"Mere? Look at me Baby."
Meredith looked and Addison smiled softly, "You understand don't you?"
"Yea."
The next morning when Addison woke up it was to room service, Meredith had gone, but let her peace offering known by ordering Addison's favourite breakfast.
* * *
Addison took a sip of her coffee, she was planning to check in on the chief, but she saw a familiar female in the room.
"I thought I saw a fabulous looking woman walk by." She greeted,
"Addison!" Grinned Richard's wife, before taking Addie in a hug, "Yes see, I told Richard I knew you and Derek would get back together."
"Ah actually I'm here on a case."
"Addison and I are over Adele." Derek said as he looked over Richard's chart,
"Well you're not divorced, have you tried counselling?
"We had adultery. That was enough." Said Derek stiffly,
"I'll call you later, okay?" asked Addie, "I need to find my best friend."
Derek raised his eyebrows, "Seriously? Best friend?"
"Closest friend I've ever had." Smiled Addie before walking away,
* * *
"Dr. Grey, may I speak with you for a moment?" Addison asked as she found Meredith with Bailey,
Meredith looked at Bailey, seeking permission to leave with Addison,
"Don't look at me for help."
Meredith frowned but then remembered only Derek knew Addie was her friend. Shaking her head slightly she walked down the corridor with Addison.
"I assume he's told you his victimised version of why he left me."
"With all do respect, this has nothing to do with me." Meredith lowered her voice, "You made that clear last night." She started to walk away but Addison followed,
"So you're not taking him back. Good."
Meredith scoffed,
"I'm not here to get back with him, pull him back to New York so he can ignore me again." Addison's voice turned to a whisper, "I have my lawyer writing up divorce papers."
Meredith sighed and walked into a cupboard, trying to get away but Addison walked in after her and next thing Meredith knew, she was pressed against the door, Addison kissing her deeply. Meredith melted into the kiss, and they held each other close, their tongues duelling.
Eventually Addison pulled back, "I- uh, have to go." And she left Meredith alone in the cupboard.
* * *
"George has a little crush." Izzie teased as George, Cristina, Izzie and Mere sat their table for lunch,
"I do not have a crush." George said awkwardly, as he continued to fiddle with the Judy doll body (a joke Alex played to do with a patient).
Cristina laughed as George continued to awkwardly try to define his not-crush, "It is a thing. A thing that is very personal. One day I would like to build on this thing with this other girl- Woman. She's all woman."
Meredith snatched the doll from George and slammed it down, "What are you doing?" She snapped,
"I was playing with-"
"No George, with Olivia." Meredith picked the doll up again and used it to point at George for emphasis, "What are you doing with Olivia?"
"Oh. Nothing."
"You're letting her think you're emotionally available. You're letting her think she has a chance." Addison walked through Meredith's view as she raised her voice at George, "And there is nothing worse in the world than thinking you have a chance when you really don't!"
Addison heard this and stared at Meredith, something Izzie noticed.
"So it's true then?" Asked Izzie, "They are married?"
Meredith nodded once.
"Seriously?" Asked Cristina, making no effort to hide the fact she had turned to get a glimpse of Addison, "Pfft, who does she think she is? McHotstuff?"
"Well yeah." droned Alex from the next table, "Smoking."
"Shut up Alex."
He grinned,
Cristina scoffed, "What ever."
Meredith looked over at Addison and almost smiled, Addie didn't think of herself as McHotstuff, but Meredith sure as hell did.
* * *
Derek stood in the elevator as it came to a halt, everyone but him exited and Addison walked on.
"Just when the day was improving." He muttered,
"You told Meredith what happened?" Addison asked,
"I did. Why? What did you tell her?"
The doors closed, "That I'm not here to drag you to New York where you can ignore me again."
"What? Wow. That's your side of this? That I didn't pay you enough attention. Is that you were thinking when you got naked with my best friend?"
"No, by that point I wasn't thinking at all Derek. By that point I was just scratching an itch. We got successful you and me. We got busy and we got lazy. We didn't even bother to fight any more Derek. And Mark was there and I missed you. But we need to talk about this. If we're so practically divorced then what's stopping us?"
"Nothing."
Derek walked out of the elevator leaving Addison with a small smile on her face.
