Chapter 18 - Look Into My Eyes
Addison was helping her pregnant patient stand up, Mr Gibson, the woman's husband was helping too.
"I appreciate you taking over my wife's case, uh, uh Dr. Pollack says you're the best."
Addie smiled, "Oh it's my pleasure Mr. Gibson."
"He didn't mention that ah, wow, you bear a striking resemblance to a young Catherine Deneuve." Addison looked up at him, across the room Meredith stared up at him too, "Oh you've, you've never heard that before?"
"Uh, eh no." lied Addie, "Sorry I, I have to say it's a first."
"Oh, beautiful. Beautiful." said Mr. Gibson, "Well Miss Deneuve." Addie's pager went off and she checked it, "Of course you are too but by extension."
"Right, we'll be back um in later to check on your wife." Addie said awkwardly, stealing a glance at Meredith,
Meredith frowned after her.
The year was over and at the end of the summer Meredith would be moving, taking her place in college.
Addison and Mere were lying on the couch, Mere on Addie, kissing her softly.
Addison grinned and pushed her back slightly, "I'm trying to watch." She indicated the TV.
Meredith laughed, "You can't speak French."
"There are subtitles Mere." Addie turned towards the TV and Meredith took the opportunity to start kissing Addie's neck.
Addie moaned and Meredith smirked into her skin.
"What do you think of her?" Addie asked, pointing at an actress, "Do you think she's good?"
Meredith looked up, "I don't speak French either."
Addie laughed, "So?"
"Oh." Mere smiled and she looked at the screen, "She's hot."
"She is." Agreed Addie,
"Looks a bit like you."
"Oh?"
"Yea. Why who is she?"
"Catherine Deneuve."
Meredith continued to watch the screen and Addie pouted, "Weren't you busy?"
"I thought you wanted to watch." Meredith smiled innocently,
She lent forward and her lips brushed Addie's.
"I prefer red heads." She smiled and continued to kiss her.
Addison came back with a jolt as she Bailey and the interns stopped, the chief talking to Miranda. She sent George and Cristina to the ER for a case.
* * *
At lunch Mere walked through the cafeteria holding Bailey's baby, she found Addie sitting at a table over from Izzie, Cristina and George.
She walked over and knelt down next to Addison.
"Addie you know how you love me?" She asked, Addison turned, "Could you please look after him for me? Bailey has a stupid emergency surgery and I'm hungry."
Addison smiled, shaking her head, "Ok." She accepted the small boy from Meredith's arms.
Mere grinned and placed the diaper bag on the spare chair.
"Thanks!" She kissed Addie's cheek and walked off to get her own lunch, Addie bit her lip, unsure if the kiss was friendly or a habit from dating.

Derek walked through the hospital, he found Meredith standing in an elevator alone.
"Hey." He smiled,
Meredith didn't look up.
"Ok." She said suddenly,
"What?"
"Ok."
Derek frowned slightly, "Ok what?"
"We can be friends."
"Oh," Derek smiled, "Good."
"Yea." Meredith paused, then reached out and stopped the elevator making Derek raise his eyes, "I'm going to tell you something."
"Ok."
"And there's this line between friends and not friends, so when I tell you this, you have to act like my friend. Not my not friend."
"I can do that."
"And you can't act smug."
"Ok." Derek looked at her curiously, "Is this the horrible thing?"
"Yes." Meredith sighed, "I'm only telling you because I need help, and I don't know who to talk to. I can't talk to my friends."
"Why not?"
"They don't know that…" She paused, "It's about Addison."
"You broke up?"
Meredith's eyes snapped to his, "You knew?"
"Well it's not that hard. I knew Addie used to have a girlfriend who she was really close to, used to look after her baby sometimes in her residency. I assume that's you."
"Yea."
"Oh and I saw you kissing after you gave me Doc. If I wasn't so jealous it would've been hot."
Meredith blushed,
"So what happened?"
Meredith sighed, "Ok, well." She paused, "We were in bed."
Derek nodded, a little uncomfortably, but he was insistent on being there for Meredith, being her friend, he could get through this.
"I called out the wrong name." Meredith said, "We were in bed, and it was perfect but I called out the wrong name."
"Oh."
"And she broke up with me. And I don't know what to do. She says we're still friends but when ever I'm around her I just… I'm in love with her."
"Tell her that."
"I have." Whispered Meredith, "She knows."
"Tell her again and again. Until she listens."
Meredith looked at him, her eyes betraying her vulnerability, "How?"
Derek smirked, "Do what I do. What you're doing now. Use the elevator."
Meredith nodded and started the elevator again, looking ahead in silence.
"Meredith?" Derek asked hesitantly, "Whose name did you call out?"
Meredith didn't speak, the doors opened to her floor and she sighed, she walked off, then turned, knowing they were alone, "Yours."
She walked away.
* * *
Meredith fell back on her bed with a huge grin on her face, panting slightly.
"Wow."
"You're better then before."
"Oh please, I lost my emotional virginity to you." Meredith told him,
Mark grinned and started to kiss Meredith neck causing her to moan his name deeply. "Weren't you gonna get back with Addie?" He asked,
"I was." Meredith told him, rolling them so she sat on his naked chest, "But I think she's probably right. It's too soon after Derek, and with everything that's been going on at work we never really got to address our relationship. So I'm going to do as she says."
Mark laughed, "I don't think this is what she had in mind."
Meredith smirked, "Shut up." She bent down and started to kiss him softly and slowly.
He grinned and kissed her back, things heated up from there and soon enough Meredith was panting again, meeting his thrusts.

Addison walked into the house, it was quiet; George and Izzie were drinking at Joe's. But she knew Meredith was home.
Toeing of her heals Addison walked up the steps, she left her bag and jacket at the foot of the attic stairs then walked to Meredith's room. The door was closed but she could hear movement in side, she knocked twice while opening the door.
"Meredith?" She asked, but froze.
Meredith was naked, she was having sex. But that was to be expected, Addie knew Mere would sleep with others until she felt ready for commitment. Addison had not been expecting her to sleep with Mark; the man who fell in love with her, his best friend's wife. The man whose life she ruined.
For some reason that made it worse. Made her angry. These two people were in love with her, so why were they sleeping with each other?
They hadn't noticed her yet. And as she stood frozen to the spot with anger she saw them both come and call out the same name.
"Addison!"
"Yes?" she found herself asking, "You called?"
