Addison slowly opened her eyes as her brain searched for what had caused her to wake up from a much needed sleep. She rolled over and groped around the nightstand as she realised it was the shrill ringing of her phone that had woken her up. Her thoughts quickly turned to Maya as she retrieved the phone and sat up, she had told the hospital to call her if Maya so much as coughed during the night. She looked at the caller ID, Cooper.
"Hi Cooper" she answered sliding back down under the duvet.
"Addison," he answered "where are you?"
Addison turned her head to look at a sleepy eyed Sam lying next to her; the phone must have woken him too.
"I'm...erm..." she stopped to clear her throat, they hadn't decided about this yet, about telling their friends, their family "I'm at home, why?"
"It's just that Violet thinks we should clear out Dell's office today, she thinks it will help us come to terms with..."
"Sure, I'll be there," she replied before Cooper could say the words she knew they were all avoiding "I'll be right over."
After ending the call she reached over and put the phone back on the night stand before turning back to Sam.
"Morning" she smiled at him.
"Morning fibber" he smiled back.
Addison blushed a little, she'd made a great start to this relationship; she'd only been with Sam for five minutes he already thought she was a liar.
"I'm sorry, I just..I didn't know if we..." she tried to explain
Sam smiled, he loved that he got to see this side of her, the side no one else saw, the vulnerable, fallible side of a world class surgeon.
"I was kidding," he smiled as he pulled her towards him. She smiled as she saw the kindness in his eyes. "Let's just have us for a while," he smiled as he ran his hands over her soft bare shoulders "let's get used to us first."
Addison felt a wave of relief wash over her as Sam spoke; she hadn't ruined things between them, he still wanted her. She felt the warmth of his breath as he closed the gap between their bodies and she welcomed his kiss as his lips softly met hers. As the kiss deepened Sam ran his fingers through her hair; finally he had what he wanted.
Addison felt her skin begin to tingle as Sam's tongue traced the line of her bottom lip, she took a deep breath as she felt her body respond to Sam's touch; they had waited so long for this. However, Sam flopped, defeated, into his pillow as he realised they would have to wait for a little longer. Addison reached over his body and grabbed his phone from the night stand, as she expected, Cooper's name flashed on the screen. Addison planted a quick kiss on Sam's lips before passing him his phone and heading off towards the bathroom to get ready to head over to the practice.
