"You look happy" Izzie said looking at a very smiley Meredith.
"No happier than usual"
"Mer, you never look happy, well its rare, what did you do?"
"It's more of a case of who she did" Cristina said walking into the conversation.
"Ooh, spill" said Izzie.
"I didn't do anything, or anyone, Cristina! Can't a girl just be happy?"
"No, not really, not you" Izzie answered.
"Thanks, its nothing guys really"
"What do you think you're doing, get your butts out of this locker room, we have rounds people" Dr Bailey shouted at the three gossiping girls.
Meredith, Izzie and Cristina were joined by George and Alex at the nurses station.
"Alex, your with Shepard, Cristina with Burke, Izzie your with Torres, George I need you in the clinic and Grey, Dr Montgomery's requested you today….GO!" the interns scattered to their stations at Baileys orders.
Cristina chased after Meredith "Mer!"
"Yes Cristina"
"So how'd it go? She obviously wants to see you again"
"It was great"
"Did you.."
"No but we are planning on telling people, how I don't know, she said she'd sort it"
"Well hurry up, this is a hard secret to keep y'know"
"I know, believe me, you better go find Burke, I'll see you at lunch!"
Cristina walked off to find Burke as Meredith went to find Addison. As she stepped out of the elevator on the gynae ward she saw Addison leaning on the counter of the nurses station reading a patient notes. She walked toward her and leant next to her on the counter.
"You requested me Dr Montgomery"
"Yes I did Dr Grey" Addison hushed her voice "I can't keep away"
Meredith giggled "Sshh"
"Meet me for lunch"
"I'm meeting the guys but I'll meet you after, the on-call room" Meredith winked.
"OK, now, lets do some work" Addison smiled.
12:30pm, Cafeteria.
"Hey" Meredith said sliding her lunch tray onto the table her friends sat around.
"Hey" they all replied.
"What's with all the doom and gloom" Meredith quipped.
"You, Meredith 'Dark & Gloomy' Grey are asking us that question" Alex asked.
"Yeah, is that OK with you Alex, I'm happy!"
"Whatever Grey"
"Maybe its all the kissing she's been doing" Cristina said through her chewing.
"Cristina!"
"I knew it!" Izzie exclaimed.
"There's nothing to know"
"Liar" George added "You're hiding something"
Meredith laughed, as she looked up she saw Addison walking towards them.
"Meredith, can I speak with you for a second"
"Sure" Meredith stood up and walked over to Addison "What's up, I thought we were meeting after lunch"
"I know you're going to hate me for doing this but…"
Addison pulled Meredith into her and kissed her, the whole cafeteria stared at them, George choked on his sandwich while Izzie let out a gasp.
"Do you hate me?" Addison whispered into Meredith's ear as they broke away from their kiss.
"I love you" Meredith said kissing her again, she took Addison's hand and led her over to her table.
"Guys, I lied, there is something to know"
"Ya think!" Alex stated dryly.
"This is new and scary but this is the happiest I've felt for a long time, OK"
"OK" they all said back.
"Now, I have to go! Come on Addie"
As they turned around the one and only Derek Shepard was stood right in front of them.
"You...and..you, you just, you have to be kidding me"
"Derek" Meredith sighed.
"My ex-wife and my ex-girlfriend, together, seriously? SERIOUSLY!?"
"He sounds like you" Cristina whispered into Izzie's ear.
"Sshhh, this could be interesting" she snapped back!
"I actually can't believe this, this is unbelievable"
"Derek, I'm sorry, but this, this is real" said Meredith, still gripping onto Addison's hand.
"We only split last week, how long has this been going on?"
"This is my fault Derek, I fell for her, I told her 2 weeks ago, nothing happened before you split, well I kissed her but that was it!"
"Is that supposed to make me feel better, that she left me, for you!"
"You left me for her" Addison snapped back.
"That was different"
"How exactly was that different Derek? You loved her so you left me, and she.."
"Loves you, really, is that the end to that sentence Meredith?" Derek stared right into Meredith's eyes.
"Yes actually Derek, it is"
"Really?" Addison said looking at Meredith.
"Yes, really, I love you Addie" Meredith smiled.
"I..have to go, you know if you were a man Addison I would've hit you by now"
"Charming"
"You, have ruined everything!" Derek said staring at Addison "I HATE YOU!" Derek shouted, he turned his back to them and stormed out of the room.
"Well..that could've gone better" Addison sighed "So..you love me"
"Yes, I love you Addison Forbes Montgomery, I'd better get back to…"
"Your friends, yes, they look like they need you to talk, I should get back upstairs, I'll catch up with you later?"
"Sure" Meredith kissed Addison goodbye and rejoined her friends at their table, she sat down and continued to eat her lunch, she looked up at the interns who were all staring at her.
"What?"
