Chapter 8:
The fact that the elevator was no working was not easily missed. A great majority of the people had noticed it. Derek and a few technicians were in the midst of trying to get it fixed. Just as they were about to put their plan into action and begin fixing the elevator they were interrupted with the ping sound that signal the doors were about to open.
Addison had eagerly been waiting until she could get off the elevator, it was no surprise to Mark that she took off the second the doors were open wide enough to all her to do so. Before she disappeared she had at least assured him that she'd be back after she finished 'freshening up' in the bathroom. Mark stood still in the elevator, hecouldn't stop himself from grinning, that had been one of the best elevator rides of his whole life. Now he understood why Derek was so fond of these damn Seattle Grace Elevators. Even when he realized that about 10 people were staring at him the grin didn't fade, it rather grew bigger.
When he finally stepped out into the hallway he made his way towards the nurse station that was only a few feet away from the elevators. He took Alyssa's file, turned around and walked right into his best friend. The plastic surgeon looked right into Derek's eyes still grinning from ear to ear and waited for him to say something. But his best friend stayed silent, his look didn't gave away his thoughts and Mark's grin slowly faded.
"Derek, is everything alright?" Mark asked eventually but didn't got an answer, the neurosurgeon still stood in front of him not saying a word.
"So if you don't have anything to say than I'm going to get going..." Mark pointed towards Alyssa's room and started walking away when Derek still didn't show any reaction.
"Dr. Sloan!" he heard someone behind him yelling after he took a few steps. It was Derek who'd yelled and when Mark turned around he could see the anger which Derek had been trying to hide.
Derek was obviously very angry, but why? Mark wasn't aware of having done anything wrong. Slowly he approached his furious best friend.
"Why the hell are you yelling at me?" he whispered so only Derek could hear him but with anger in his voice.
"Why am I yelling at you? You're kidding me right? What the hell was this elevator thing?" apparently it was hard for Derek not to yell.
"Oh you mean this..." remembering the happenings a grin appeared on Mark's face again.
"How can you still grin?"
"Derek what the hell do you care? She's your ex-wife, we can do what ever we want to do and it's none of your business!" now Mark was also yelling, why the hell should he let Derek decide with whom he did something and with whom he did nothing?
"You know I don't care if you screw my ex-wife again, or if you screw another woman, but I do care when you do it in my hospital! Mark, this is my first day as a chief and you have to stop the elevator so you can let your naughty little dreams come true with her? Did you even think about what you're doing? I was scared to death, I thought there's a patient in this stupid elevator that needs help or what if this is another situation in which an intern has to perform heart surgery in a non-sterile elevator just like it happened a few years ago? I don't know how Webber could deal with something like that but I'm sure as hell that I can't deal with it on my first day! So Mark I'm asking you again, did you think about what you were doing and where you did it?" Derek still couldn't stop yelling and so now everyone in that damn hallway was staring at them.
"Great shout it out into the world! But just one question, did you think about what you were doing when you had sex in an exam room at prom? Did you think what you were doing and how that would hurt Addison?" so now everyone who hadn't heard about the prom sex knew it by now.
"Stop yelling!" Meredith had heard them from a patient room and came to stop them.
"Yeah, tell your husband there are things he shouldn't shout out so everyone can hear it!" Mark yelled.
"The two of you, STOP! Both of you're yelling and that isn't necessary, calm down and talk about it later!" she said certain and pulled Derek away.
Meanwhile in the ladies bathroom Addison was bend over a sink. What the hell had she been thinking? She'd just kissed him without saying anything, she'd kissed him although she'd known he didn't love her. But on the other hand he'd kissed her back... does that mean something? No he'd made clear that he didn't want her, he was in love with the Grey girl and not with her, certainly he'd just kissed her back because he didn't want to disappoint her. Maybe she was still important to him but not as a lover but as a friend and maybe because of that he'd kissed her back and all the other stuff... just to remind her of old times... She had still this strong feelings for him and all she wanted was for him to still love her but she knew that it was over, she knew there was no chance that Mark would dump Lexie and get back together with her, but she couldn't stop hoping.
Suddenly the door opened and Callie came in. She'd known that Addison was in it and to be honest that was the reason for her coming. She'd heard about the elevator thing, in the end such happenings didn't stay a secret for long in the hospital.
"So, what was that?" Callie asked immediately.
"Hello to you too Callie..." Addison said.
"Come on, split it." apparently she didn't think it was important to start the conversation like you do usually, she just skipped the 'hello, so good to see you' part and came straight to the point.
"What are you talking about?" Callie wasn't there when she'd stepped out of the elevator. That she was certain, but could these news go around that fast?
"Dude, you and Mark? You know the elevator thing... do you remember?!" So apparently Callie knew what had happened between them in the elevator, which meant so did almost everyone else who was in the hospital.
"Okay, I was in the elevator... with Mark... and..." the red haired finally started.
"And?" now came the tantalizing part and Callie couldn't hide her curiosity.
"... and nothing..." Addison backed out.
"Seriously, you're not telling me you were in the elevator for about 20 minutes and nothing happened, that isn't possible. Mark Sloan and you, Addison Montgomery, in one elevator for almost half an hour, that's meant to be hot. So don't you dare trying to tell me that nothing, really nothing happened between the two of you, because you know that it's not true, something happened, but what happened? Did you only kiss or were the two of you that horny enough to do get straight to it right there and then? Ohh think about it, you're in the hospital just for a few minutes and already had hot sex in an elevator, that's... yeah, that's so you and Mark like..." Callie smirked while walking towards the red haired.
"Ehhr... I better go, you know. I have to go see my um..sister..." Addison slowly went towards the door, she wasn't in the mood to explain everything to Callie using Alyssa was a good excuse.
When Addison walked out of the ladies bathroom she remembered that she didn't even know where exactly Alyssa's room was. So she went towards nurse's station beside the know infamous elevator. When she came closer to the destination she could hear Derek yelling, and she wished she couldn't understand him, it was just embarrassing, she didn't want to walk any further, so she she stood still.
"You know I don't care if you screw my ex-wife again, or if you screw another woman, but I do care when you do it in my hospital! Mark, this is my first day as a chief and you have to stop the elevator so you can let your naughty little dreams come true with her?" she heard her ex-husband.
Addison couldn't help but wonder what he was thinking. Couldn't he try to stay calm and not to yell, because she wasn't very thrilled that everyone in the hospital knew about her and Mark. She decided that it would be in her best interest to ignore everything that Derek had been saying. But by the time she had been able to bring herself to do that, the yelling had stopped and Derek was gone. She looked up to see Mark standing there radiating with anger. He was staring at one consistent spot in the ground.
She didn't know how she was supposed to say to him at that moment. His anger wasn't a problem, or so she told herself. In reality, it did intimidate her just a little bit but the real problem was that she didn't know how to behave after everything that had happened in the elevator. She did he best to avoid him so she stopped a few feet away from him, hoping that he wouldn't notice her. Once Mark started walking she followed him assuming he would go to her sister. She was right. He didn't realize he was being followed, he didn't notice Addison behind him. That made it easier when she chose to stay outside instead of go in the room with him.
"Hey... how do you feel?" Mark asked the girl in the bed. Addison watched them from a distance, but she could see them and hear every single word.
"I feel good..." Alyssa said smiling. Addison was overwhelmed by her sisters appearance, Mark and Derek hadn't exaggerated, it was as if she looked into a mirror and saw herself as a teenager.
Alyssa's every feature was the same as hers. It was unbelievable, there lay a girl that was much younger than her and they looked so much alike, she hadn't thought that it was possible.
"So... I guess Addison will come soon... she'd to go to the bathroom..." Mark explained after a few minutes. Alyssa nodded with a weird smirk on her face, Addison immediately noticed that she smirked but apparently Mark didn't.
"And?" the girl asked finally.
"And what?" the plastic surgeon seemed to be confused.
"Don't be stupid, the whole hospital knows about the hot elevator sex, do you really think I wouldn't know?" Addison was shocked. That was just great even her sister knew about it, her sister who she'd never met before.
"You... you... you know?" Mark who was so shocked that he stammered. As an answer he got an grin from ear to ear.
"Come on, that means she loves you... wasn't that what you always wanted? Didn't you tell me just a few days ago that you love her more than everything else?" Alyssa said when Mark stayed silent.
Addison, still in the hallway couldn't believe what she'd just heard, Mark had told her sister that he loved her? That was a joke right? She didn't notice how her feet slowly moved towards the door.
"Yes, I've said that... but she doesn't love me... that thing in the elevator that wasn't like that... it was like... some kind of goodbye sex..." Mark said, but Alyssa didn't looked at him anymore, she eyed the woman in the door, Addison.
"You love me?" was the only thing Addison had managed to say, she didn't even looked at her sister, every thought about Alyssa had been replaced by thoughts of Mark and the fact that he loved her.
