Chapter 19: Day 18 of 28
When Addison Montgomery and Meredith Grey wake up they realize their hands are still up each other's pajama shirts.
Not that they're complaining at all, of course, but they're still groping each other in their damn sleep.
Which, in and of itself, is objectively sort-of hilarious.
"Can't get enough during the day so you gotta start this at night too, huh?" Says Meredith to Addison teasingly.
"Wha-?" Addison rumbles as she opens her eyes and squeezes her hands reflexively, essentially fondling Meredith roughly even more.
"Ohh-" Meredith moans out reflexively and this time it's Addison's turn to smirk a little bit.
"Guess I really can't get enough," says Addison. "I think it's just you," Addison adds in brutal honesty before she's fully awake in the morning.
"Thanks," Meredith says with a swoon as she cuddles into Addison even closer.
Addison keeps her hands on Meredith's breasts and keeps touching them and gently massaging them through her warm hands gently.
"Mm, that's nice," Meredith hums as she allows her eyes to close again.
"Mm, I'm glad, your breasts are so nice. They're like two little pillows," Addison marvels.
Meredith giggles and then Addison giggles because both hers and Addison's breasts are both jiggling at the same time.
"What, I never knew how cool breasts could be in bed. I've never dated anyone with them before and now it's like- 'wow there's boobs!' It's just new and yours are so cool and I really like touching them," Addison rambles.
"Mm, well, I'm glad you're appreciating boobs, and especially my boobs!" Says Meredith.
"I wanna appreciate your boobs more right now," says Addison hungrily.
"Okay Addie," says Meredith, grinning and removing her pajama top to expose her bare chest.
"Lovely," says Addison as she leans in with her hands and her lips.
Addison starts suckling on Meredith's breast again and handling the other gently with her warm hands before switching as Meredith leans back and starts gripping onto Addison's hair.
"Mm," Meredith moans and Addison keeps going and going.
"Kiss me?" Meredith requests, and Addison complies, crawling onto her girlfriend in a flash.
Addison leans down and Meredith leans up and they kiss hungrily as well.
"I'm already turned on a bunch," Meredith hushes.
"Good graces, so am I," Addison realizes as she closes her eyes and checks in with herself.
"You drive me so wild, I can't keep my hands off of you," says Meredith.
"Gosh, I know. Every time I see you I want to kiss you," says Addison.
"So kiss me again," says Meredith, and Addison complies.
It's tongues tangling lazily in the morning with Meredith reaching up under Addison's shirt until she breaks the kiss momentarily to allow Meredith to help her take off her own shirt.
"Your breasts are so sexy, it's like, it should be illegal how hot your breasts are," says Meredith as she touches them with both hands.
"Ooh," Addison gasps at Meredith's dainty fingers on her breasts as Meredith scooches herself back a bit on the bed underneath Addison so she can lean in and suckle Addison's breasts back a bit.
"Oh, wow, oh, my goodness, ahh," Addison babbles as Meredith delivers her impeccable technique for pleasuring breasts with her mouth, improving on her technique specifically for what Addison herself likes the most.
"Yeah, like that, more with your tongue, not so much on the teeth, oh, yeah, nice, ooh," says Addison as Meredith's tongue dances over her nipples.
Addison can't help herself and she statrs grinding her hips over Meredith's waist, and the friction accentuates her pre-existing arousal.
"Ooh, are we ready to be doing this?" Asks Meredith as she brings her two hands to still Addison's hips for a moment.
"Ah, I guess I got carried away there. I really am horny in the mornings though, gosh. And you're all hot and your breasts are right there, and you're doing that thing you do to my nipples and your hips is all warm and it just feels really good on my vagina," Addison rambles.
"Mm, I empathize with all of those things, you're really hot and half-naked and grinding on top of me, and it feels amazing, but are we ready to be taking that step?" Meredith asks Addison.
"Hmm," Addison nods, stilling herself for the moment to talk this out with Meredith.
"It's getting hard for me to think properly because I just need to come," says Addison.
"Mm, so what do you, what do we want to do about that?" Meredith asks empathetically.
"Umm, to be honest, my clit is throbbing so much right now I can hardly string a sentence right," says Addison.
"Do you want to take care of that yourself and we can talk more? Or what?" Says Meredith.
"I have no idea. A part of me just wants to keep rubbing myself on your hip. A part of me wants to ask you to shove your fingers and/or tongue into me and screw me senseless. Another part of me wants to slow down… I have no idea still," Addison sighs.
"All of those thoughts can all exist at once, they don't need to contradict each other," says Meredith.
"What's going on in your head?" Says Addison.
"Well, I guess a part of me wants to see you come more than anything. A part of me wants to touch you everywhere more than anything and feel inside of you. And also a part of me is nervous we're rushing things, but then again we've worked through a lot of steps so I'm not sure. It's never really a clear-cut answer on what's 'sex-sex,' and what isn't… I guess I just want us to be conscious when we move into trying something new," Meredith finally arrives at her point.
"Right," says Addison. "It's been really nice exploring these baby steps with you, Mer," says Addison.
"You too, Addie," says Meredith.
There's a nice moment where Addison and Meredith just stop and stare into each other's eyes.
*** BEEP *** BEEP *** BEEP ***
"Saved by the bell," Meredith chuckles.
"Yeah," says Addison.
"How about we talk a bit more after breakfast about how we feel about more steps?" Says Meredith.
"Okay," says Addison. "Could we still shower together?" Asks Addison hopefully.
"Okay, but we're not having shower sex right now, one because we haven't talked and two because it can get hazardous if we're not really careful, we don't wanna slip," says Meredith.
"Right," says Addison. "Okay, I'm still gonna wanna wash your hair though, I really like that," says Addison.
"Agreed," says Meredith, as she leans up to kiss Addison lightly once more before she slides out under her and starts getting undressed for the shower.
"You on the way?" Meredith teases as she watches Addison follow her.
They have a lovely shower together, indeed.
Their talk about sex is not the only important discussion that Meredith and Addison have over breakfast.
"Hey, I was thinking about when we want to tell other people about our relationship," says Meredith.
"Mm, what are you thinking about?" Says Addison, ready to listen.
"Well, I was just thinking about how we've told our families and our kids, we've told Callie, Arizona, and Sofia, and I'm wondering if there's anyone else we want to tell first before we tell people about us at work, or if we want to talk about telling people at work soon," says Meredith.
Addison blushes and smiles widely.
"I'm really glad you want to tell people about 'us,' I guess I'm just proud that you want to 'show me off to the world,' it's… It's nice," says Addison.
"Well, you're very impressive," says Meredith. "And seriously, we have no reason not to. For once both of us have no secret husbands, no secret boyfriends, no weird other things going on. We're happy, and we're girlfriends, and we're building our physical attraction actions towards each other. I'd hesitate to not tell people for a long time because then it makes me feel like we have something to hide which we don't," says Meredith.
"Mm, I get that. I think I might need some time to come out to my family though, I mean maybe for you it's something that's been not a big deal for a while, but when I grew up in Connecticut it wasn't something talked about… But then again, my father turned out to be screwing his secretaries left and right and my mother ended up being a closeted lesbian who married my nanny after having loved her for years and years, and my brother Archer is always into new women, so I have no idea what that says about me…" Addison says with a sigh.
"Your family is not you, I mean, they're an important part of your life but they don't define you. It took years for me to start getting that by the way, I'm saying it for myself, also. I don't know if my mom, Ellis Grey, knew I liked girls or if the 'friends,' I brought home back then who were girls I was seeing were 'girlfriends,'. We never talked about it but it was never a sore spot, either. And Thatcher wasn't really in my life long anyway… And I guess I think Richard Webber will be hopefully cool with it, I mean he was Arizona's wingman for a while and went to the lesbian bar with her so I think he'd be cool. And Bailey loved Calzona as much as everyone and both Richard and Bailey LOVE you, so I mean, I think, or I'd like to think they'd approve…" Meredith rambles.
"Right," says Addison. "When you put it like that… I guess I'm the least nervous here and more nervous about telling my father. My mother's passed away but my daddy's still here and he and I have a tumultuous relationship as you know… And Archer's gonna ask me all these porny questions I think!" Addison exclaims. "Oh, and I gotta tell my best friend Naomi Bennet," she adds.
"Oof, I hope neither Amelia Shepherd nor Maggie Pierce asks any porny questions to me about you, and I still have to tell Cristina," says Meredith.
"Umm, well umm… Okay, I need to say this now but Amelia's seen me naked before with Mark, briefly, when she was just legal when she walked in on us cheating against Derek together ah, just a heads up…" Says Addison. "And that one's a bit funny because she's sort of our sister-in-law-ish through our previous marriages to Derek so what, she's like, all of our children's aunt now like twice?" Addison says this all in one breath.
"Do you think Amelia will take it well?" Meredith asks genuinely, smiling at all the other parts of Addison's sentence too.
"Probably, I mean, yeah, I really think so. She'll probably laugh and joke, but that's Amelia," says Addison.
"It really is Amelia," Meredith laughs.
"So, do you want to tell your dad and your brother about us, and then we can go from there and tell Maggie and Amelia together?" Says Meredith.
"Sure, maybe Amelia first? Because I've never met Maggie?" Says Addison.
"Okay, that sounds cool," says Meredith. "Oops! Look at the time we really gotta get going!" Says Meredith.
"How do I always lose track of time when I'm with you… Usually, I'm such a timely person…" Addison laughs under her breath as she helps put the dishes away and grab her purse and Meredith's to head out the door.
"Who knows, good thing for phone alarms isn't it?" Meredith giggles as they head out the door.
Meredith has to bat Addison's hand away from her thigh while she's driving, claiming that Addison's gentle stroking up to her hips is "way too dangerous and distracting," for their commuting.
Bailey and Richard appear like clockwork to hand out their assignments, and Meredith and Addison have to consciously move apart from each other while they explain their cases for the day in order to keep their minds on the actual work part.
Soon enough there was something interesting though, because a familiar face walked into the hospital.
"Whoa!" Says Addison. "Hey, you look so familiar…" She muses.
"TEDDY!?" Says Meredith Grey.
"Hi," says Dr. Teddy Altman. "How have you been, Meredith?" Says Teddy. "And I know we've met but I forget your name," Teddy says to Addison.
"I'm Dr. Addison Montgomery, I work as an OB-GYN, and I'm also a surgeon," says Addison shyly.
"She's also done some fantastic Cystic Fibrosis genetics research," Meredith can't help but brag about Addison's accomplishments.
"Oh, right! I remember you from when Sofia was delivered. You were a massive help on that case," says Teddy.
"Right, and you were the cardio attending, right?" Says Addison.
"Yeah," says Teddy. "And now I'm co-head of the department with Meredith's sister, Dr. Maggie Pierce," says Teddy with a smile.
"Neat," says Addison.
"I think we're all working together today," says Meredith as she points to her tablet.
"Cool," says Teddy. "I just got back from vacation actually," she adds.
"Oh, where to?" Asks Addison.
"Hawaii," says Teddy.
"Oh, why?" Addison blurts out accidentally.
Meredith bites her lip as Teddy explains awkwardly, "well, you see… I was supposed to get married to Dr. Owen Hunt, but then to be fair I was cheating on him with Dr. Tom Korascic and he found out via voicemail about that the day of our wedding… So I went on our honeymoon alone and then I came back," says Teddy with a sigh.
"You went by yourself?" Says Meredith.
"Yeah," says Teddy. "It was nice though, I think I needed some time to find myself again," she adds.
"Oh cool, Hawaii is nice, Cristina and I went a long time ago. Actually under similar circumstances…" Meredith trails off.
"Yeah, Cristina was the one who actually recommended it to me," says Teddy. "I called her after Owen called off our engagement and she said she fled with you after Burke left her at the altar years ago and she gave me a long-lost coupon for an all-inclusive resort," says Teddy.
"Oh, that's so neat you two know each other," says Addison, not wanting to dwell too long on the topic of failed marriages. Addison remembers Meredith having to call off that wedding while simultaneously leaving Derek Shepherd at the time from the same altar like it was yesterday…
"Have you talked with Cristina lately? I've been meaning to call," says Meredith.
"Yeah, we talk all the time. I miss Cristina you know? She's so smart and talented. I was mad for a while after that surgery where we saved Callie but that was just because I was so jealous of her surgical intuition. She really is something special you know? And she has her 3-D printed heart research now and she lives in Switzerland and she's doing well and I just love catching up with her," Teddy beams as she talks about Cristina, and this fact does not go unnoticed by either Addison or Meredith.
The two girlfriends give each other a knowing look before moving on to talk about their actual patient.
Meredith and Addison don't know how to not-so-awkwardly break off their conversation with Teddy to go have 'lunch,' in Meredith's office, but the answer comes in the form of an incoming call from Cristina to Teddy.
"Sorry girls, I really have to take this, it's Cristina. I'll see you later," Teddy runs off happily and Meredith and Addison barely say goodbye before she's off to her own office.
"Do you think she has a thing for her?" Asks Addison idly.
"Teddy for Cristina you mean?" Meredith clarifies. "A little," says Meredith with a smile.
"Oh, okay. I wasn't sure if just because I'm going all lesbian that I think now that everyone's sort of a lesbian," Addison shrugs.
"There's a bit of it that kind of happens, though to be fair I think you're just improving on your gaydar skills," Meredith smiles.
"So do you think that Cristina likes Teddy back?" Says Addison hopefully.
"It's not really for me to say," says Meredith.
"Right," says Addison. "I just want them to be happy like we are," says Addison.
"Yeah," says Meredith. "Are Sam and Naomi happy?" Meredith asks about Addison's friends.
"Yeah, they really are," Addison smiles.
"Do you want to really have lunch now?" Says Meredith.
"Definitely," says Addison as she reaches for their lunch box.
By now they've just started packing one collective picnic that they share from the box. Today it's some leftover home-made chilli that Addison made earlier in the week.
"Mm!" Says Meredith. "Even better reheated," she adds as they snap up their lunch.
"So, I was thinking of calling Archer first later today," says Addison.
"Okay," says Meredith. "Do you want me there for that or just private?" She asks.
"I think I'll start then he might want to chat with you. You've met him before I think," says Addison.
"Last time I think he had worms in his brain," says Meredith.
"Right. He doesn't have those anymore. The worms, I mean," says Addison.
"That is very good news," Meredith smiles.
"Please though, for me, don't tell him what we do in the bedroom okay? Sometimes I'm okay talking about that with our mutual friends, but I'm not really sure I want to talk about that with my brother, it makes me feel ill," says Addison.
"Done," says Meredith. "If Amelia and or Maggie ask about our sex life what would you say about that?" Says Meredith.
"Umm, I have no idea right now… Amelia will probably ask both of us because she knows us both, and I've never met Maggie before… So I guess it would be odd if the first thing she ever knows about me is about me like, naked," says Addison.
"Right," says Meredith.
"I'm glad you're cool with this, knowing who we're cool about sharing these details with," says Addison.
"Yeah, of course," says Meredith. "It's nice to know we have some control over the gossip-mill," says Meredith. "I'm just a bit tired of being in the spotlight of all that, I guess you are too, huh," says Meredith again.
"Uh-huh," says Addison. "And to think, LA was sort of the same thing," says Addison with a laugh.
Meredith and Addison chatter as they finish their lunches, and then they devour dessert before they check how long they have left for lunchtime.
"Whoa, look, we get an extra-long break each now because the patient wanted to wait for family to start," says Meredith as she looks at her pager.
"Right!" Says Addison. "Does this mean we can kiss and touch and stuff," says Addison.
"Definitely," says Meredith. "Gosh, it's only been hours and I've already missed you," says Meredith as she picks up the lunch stuff and puts it away before gently tugging Addison by the wrist to follow her to her chair.
Addison lands on Meredith's lap as they kiss each other fiercely.
Addison's hands start to wander to Meredith's hair and Meredith's hands start to wander to Addison's waist.
"Oh, yes, nice," says Meredith as Addison nibbles her bottom lip. Meredith loves that and Addison keeps it up as she keeps grinding into Meredith on the chair.
The friction is glorious and Meredith and Addison just enjoy it as they make out like teenagers.
Meredith can feel herself getting wet for Addison and Addison can feel herself equally dripping.
They're both so preoccupied with the kissing though they just keep on going.
Meredith opens her eyes for a second though, then comes to her senses a little bit.
"Oh, oh God, Addison, honey, I'm ah, I"m already really ah, close," says Meredith lustfully.
Addison doesn't quite hear her though because Meredith said that barely above a whisper and Addison is moaning into her neck right now.
"Oh, shoot, Addison, if we keep going I'm gonna come-" Meredith warns as Addison keeps grinding into her faster.
"Addison!" Says Meredith as her girlfriend isn't purposefully ignoring her, just also lost in her own pleasure.
"DR. MONTGOMERY!?" Meredith exclaims, biting into Addison's shoulder a little to get her attention.
"Whoa," Addison moves her head back in alarm as she finally recognizes Meredith talking to her.
She shifts her hips as she does this and Meredith can't help but let out another moan.
"I- I just, I'm about to orgasm, here," says Meredith very honestly.
"Oh," says Addison. "OH!" Says Addison when she finally understands her girlfriend.
"Yeah," says Meredith shly.
"Umm, do you want to?" Asks Addison bluntly.
"Well, I mean, probably, at this point. I mean I can't just walk around the hospital on the edge for the next three hours," says Meredith.
"So do you want to keep going so you can come then?" Asks Addison.
"Well, ah, preferably not in my pants," says Meredith.
"Oh, right," says Addison, shifting accidentally and causing Meredith to moan out again.
"Ah, yeah, I'd prefer not to actually have an orgasm while wearing pants. It's sticky and a bit of a mess and this is a nice office chair and I don't want to make a mess of the carpet," says Meredith.
"Whoa, you come that hard," says Addison, her eyebrows shooting up to the ceiling and her smile widening as if with glee.
"Uhh-" says Meredith.
"I kinda wanna see it happen," says Addison, blurting out everything today, apparently.
"Uhh-" says Meredith again.
"Oh, if you're not ready for me to ah, watch and/or participate in that it's cool I just- I thought it would be really hot that's all… I mean, I've never actually seen another woman orgasm before. Ever. Other than like, ME, but that's like, me, so it doesn't count because I can't watch myself- well, I mean maybe with a mirror but that's not the same thing…" Says Addison.
"Gotcha, well, I'm a bit proud that I'll be the first woman you'll ever see orgasm," says Meredith.
"I can't wait," Addison says awkwardly.
"Do you wanna watch now?" Meredith glints mischievously.
"May I?" Says Addison excitedly.
"Yeah, you can watch if you want… Just not here in my office. How about the washroom, that's a more… It's just easier to clean up after…" Says Meredith.
"Sure," says Addison.
It takes a whole two minutes for Addison to think to ask her girlfriend "wait, does this mean you've like, 'touched yourself,' at work before here!?" To which Meredith only laughs.
"Wanna help me take off my clothes?" Offers Meredith as she motions that she's going to step into the shower.
"Sure," says Addison, licking her lips.
"Thanks," says Meredith as Addison lifts off her shirt and then undoes her pants and all her clothes are folded neatly on the counter because it's Addison and she likes folding her clothes very carefully.
Meredith steps out of her socks and shoes and she slides down her own panties very slowly to watch as Addison licks her lips at the sight.
"Wow, you're really wet," Addison deadpans as her eyes widen at Meredith's sollen center.
"Yeah," says Meredith. "As I said, I was really really close already," she laughs.
"Holy hell," says Addison, gasping and biting her lip again.
"So, do you want to watch me finish?" Meredith asks Addison seductively.
"Oh, yes please," says Addison as she sits herself up on the counter and watches wide-eyed as Meredith rakes her own hands over her own body.
"Could you tell me what you like to do… To yourself?" Asks Addison. "I just wanna know, just because it's really sexy when you talk about it… And also it'll give me some hints about y'know, if I ah, wanna try doing that, like, for you, like, myself…" Addison asks in a bit of a random assortment of sentences.
"Of course," says Meredith.
"Well, I like to pinch my own nipples," Meredith says as she does this.
"Ooh," Addison moans just at the way Meredith looks as she does this.
"And I like to run my hands over my stomach…" Says Meredith as she does this and Addison remembers how her hands felt when she had run them there herself.
"And I like to feel the inside of my thighs…" Says Meredith as she runs in this erogenous zone and Addison can see Meredith start to tremble a little.
"And then, when I'm ready, I like to feel how wet I am through my folds," says Meredith as she reaches there with two fingers and spreads her own wetness over herself.
"How wet are you?" Asks Addison.
"Extremely," says Meredith with a smug smirk.
"Gosh," says Addison as she watches Meredith move her hand over herself and swear lightly as she reaches her clit.
"Heads up ah, Addison, I'm not really gonna last very long," says Meredith nervously as she swirls her hand around on her with a circle.
"It's okay, I'm just really enjoying this experience with you," says Addison. "It doesn't have to be like, long or short or anything, it's just you," says Addison. "And I like you," she adds.
"Thanks, Addison, I, like, oh-, you-, ooh-, too," Meredith moans as she rubs a bit faster.
"Do you like to put your fingers ah, inside you, too?" Asks Addison shyly.
"Yeah," says Meredith. "I do," she says as she winks at Addison seductively and slides two of her fingers inside of herself as slowly as she possibly can.
"Fuck!" Addison swears, "that's SO HOT," she moans, just from watching Meredith's fingers glide in with very little resistance.
"Mm, oh, gosh this feels good. It felt so good when you were grinding into my lap earlier I really just wanted to keep going, and oh, with you watching me now it's such a turn-on, oh," says Meredith as she finds her spot with her fingers and rubs onto it.
Meredith sits now on the bench in the shower and braces herself against the back of it as she keeps fingering herself relentlessly.
"Oh, wow. Nice, and you use your thumb there, interesting…" Says Addison as she compares her own technique to her girlfriend's.
"Yes, yes, yes, oh-" Meredith gets close again as she strikes her g-spot hard and starts fingering her clit with her other hand.
Meredith's motions increase and she doesn't have a chance to warn Addison before she starts coming.
"OHH," Meredith moans loud as she feels herself start letting go. Meredith's eyes roll to the back of her head and she leans back against the back of the shower as her fingers keep moving softly.
Addison watches as fluid starts gushing out of her girlfriend as Meredith comes and she realizes that Meredith wasn't kidding- she really does gush when she comes.
And it's the hottest thing she's ever seen.
"Oh. My. God," Addison swears as Meredith milks out the rest of her orgasm, aftershocks rocking her body as she lets out whispery noises as she keeps the pleasurable sensations going.
When Meredith finishes for real, she flutters her eyes open with a smile to Addison who is looking at her with predatory eyes and pure lust but also… Something so caring and tender that Meredith can't describe in any words other than 'pure compassion,' and she really loves that.
"That was really beautiful Meredith," says Addison as Meredith comes to completely.
"Thanks, Addison," says Meredith with a sleepy smile.
"Erm, ah, I don't want to rush you but ah-" Addison stammers a little as she tries to explain herself.
"Oh, right, yeah, just give me a minute to catch my breath and you can use the shower after me, we still have time," says Meredith.
"Thanks," says Addison.
"Do you want space or do you want me here or?" Meredith asks Addison as she washes off and Addison hands her a towel so she can get dressed again.
"Ah, would I be able to have some space for this? I know you're my girlfriend and I just watch you ah, do that you know but I'm just- It's not something I've always done and I'm not sure if I could do it in front of someone else," Addison says quietly.
"Of course," says Meredith as she moves to get ready to head off to her office again.
"Wait, Meredith… Could I have a few kisses first, before you go?" Says Addison.
"Sure," says Meredith with a smile, bringing Addsion in for a searing kiss before giving the redhead some privacy.
Meredith heads off to her office after that, respecting Addison's privacy and catching up on some work emails.
Addison, meanwhile, brings herself to one orgasm and then another from the detachable showerhead that the hospital seems to have on hand even if Meredith Grey's old house doesn't.
Addison gets dressed again and then meets Meredith in her office.
"Well look at you, face a ray of sunshine even more than before," says Meredith as she can feel the relaxed demeanor of her girlfriend.
"Yeah, it felt good to finish- I guess I got pent up after all of this kissing," says Addison.
"It's nice, especially in the middle of a workday. I'm glad you're feeling better. I'd love to see you come when you're ready for that, Addison, and I'd love to help you along once you're ready for that part, too. But no rush, seriously, when you're ready, I'll be here," says Meredith sweetly.
"You're so understanding and I love that!" Says Addison.
"Ditto for you," says Meredith.
"Shoot, it's a page from Teddy, we better get back," says Addison.
"Lead the way, Addie," says Meredith as she follows her girlfriend out of her office.
"Wow, you two seem so happy!" Says Teddy with a smile.
"We had a really good lunch," says Meredith.
"Yeah," says Addison, glad that Meredith has a good answer like that.
"Sweet, well, we can operate soon, and then we'll do the post-operative care tomorrow. I can also stay late tonight," says Teddy.
"Thanks," say Meredith and Addison simultaneously.
"We're staying together," says Meredith. "Addison's in from L.A, and she's staying at my place," she adds.
"Oh, nice. It's a lovely house," says Teddy. "I've never lived there myself, though Cristina has. She talks about it all the time, how she misses Meredith and that house. Did you know that she has this big house in Switzerland? We actually have similar house tastes… Open-concept at all…" Teddy rambles on and on about Cristina the entire afternoon.
Once the procedure is over, Teddy says she'll stay again and Meredith and Addison check in to make sure she has everything that she needs.
"Yeah, I'm good. I'm going to call Cristina again tonight, she'll love hearing about this case!" Says Teddy excitedly.
"Oh, say hi," says Addison.
"Yeah, from me, too," says Meredith.
Teddy nods happily, and Meredith and Addison drive home together happily as well.
"Gosh, I wanted to call Archer but I'm exhausted," says Addison.
"It can wait until tomorrow unless you really want to call him now," says Meredith, also yawning.
"I think it's the orgasms, they make me sleepy," says Addison, yawning in turn.
"Yeah, can we just order a pizza tonight?" Says Meredith.
"Sure," says Addison as she dials the number.
Meredith Grey and Addison Montgomery spend the rest of the evening reading celebrity magazines and eating plenty of pizza before heading off to bed early for a good night's rest.
****** END OF CHAPTER 19
Author's Note:
Okay, so these lines:
"Gosh, I wanted to call Archer but I'm exhausted," says Addison.
"It can wait until tomorrow unless you really want to call him now," says Meredith, also yawning.
Is a code for "the author is tired of writing, and will write that plot point in a subsequent chapter, while the author is yawning,"
Just if that wasn't like obvious lol. Writers get tired too… :). Comments will be cherished after a nap.
