This has taken longer than I thought, I had a massive mental block and then I've been ill, and had a lot of work to do but I'll try and get another chapter up soon. But if anyone wants anything to happen just say, I love reviews

The warmth of walking up in mark's arm was strangely comforting and gave her hope. It gave her hope that for every relationship she had been through and she came out with heart ache, she had found the one that she wanted to be with. She didn't want to wake him up, he looked so peaceful sleeping, it was a different sleep from when they were in New York because that sleep was horrible, they weren't comfortable around each other. They had never had a real relationship and she wanted to give it a try. Moaning when she heard her phone go off, she grabbed it before it would wake up Mark, she started to panic when she found out it was from Naomi, worried that Archer had gone downhill after his surgery that Derek had preformed yesterday.

Gently pulling herself out of Mark's arms, she found some clothes she could wear which were different to what she had on yesterday and smelt freshly clean from the hotel washing them. Find a piece of paper on the dressing table, she searched through her bag for a pen.

Hope you had a nice sleep, just got a message from Naomi that I have to go to the hospital so I'll see you later? Do you want to have lunch or something later on, talk about everything?

You looked too peaceful to wake up.

Placing the paper on her pillow, she pressed a kiss against his temple, letting her lips linger for a few seconds before she pulled away from him. Walking out of the hotel room with a smile on her lips, but she was rushing and worried at the same time in case something had happened.

When she got to the hospital, she had rushed to Archer's room but was confused when one of the nurses asked what she was doing here. Walking into her brother's room, she couldn't help but smile when she noticed that he was awake, feeling like a ton of bricks had been lifted from her shoulder.

"Did you just have sex?" Addison's head turned to face Naomi quickly but winced when she had pulled her neck but after a few seconds, the sharp pain disappeared.

"No." She quickly covered herself up as she sat down on the edge of Archer's bed, smiling down at her brother, knowing that he was properly going to be even more annoying from the drugs.

"How you feeling?" Addison asked Archer, taking hold of his hand and keeping tight hold of it. She never thought that she would come so close to losing him. But now she needed to think about other things than Archer. She had no idea what she was going to do about Mark; they wouldn't be able to work if one of them lived in Seattle and the other in Santa Monica. As much as she loved LA, she missed having Mark, Derek and Richard around her, sure, Derek was her ex-husband but she had gotten used to having him around her.

"How do you think? I've just had my brain cut into by your incompetent ex." Addison should have known better than the digs at Derek had come out, she had had to live with it for years when she was dating Derek and when she married him they never stopped but Addison had learnt to keep them apart from each other, even if that was hard on family holidays.

"Yeah, your fine." She teased, tapping his arm with a smirk on her lips. He was still the same even if he was high on drugs, she expected something worse to come out but she understood that his brain wouldn't be working complete enough to come out with worse.

Looking up when she heard a knock on the door, she couldn't help but smile when she noticed Mark with his leather jacket on which just showed off his muscles. She wasn't listening to Naomi who was properly talking about Archer like she had since they had gotten here.

"Addison!" Naomi snapped trying to get her best friends attention off whatever she was looking at. But when she followed her friend's eye line, she couldn't help with smirk as she worked out who the mystery man was. "You did not sleep with Mark Sloan again?!"

"Yes. What?" Addison quickly corrected herself when she noticed what she had said, but her attention quickly turned back to Mark and she smiled at him when his eyes landed on her own. "Excuse me." She said quickly, squeezing Archer's hand before she left the room, closing the sliding door after her so Naomi wouldn't be listening to every word, even if she was sure the other female couldn't easily lip read.

"You know, I would have liked to be woken up before you left." Addison scoffed at his tone of voice, knowing what he meant by waking up and it wasn't something that should be heard by innocent ears.

"Yeah, I'm sure you would but you looked relaxed and calm so I thought I would be nice and let you sleep in." Her body tensed slightly when he pushed a strand of hair out of her face, she felt like a teenager at school again who had no idea what it felt like to be touched.

"You know, we need to talk." She slowly nodded her head, they needed to talk about what she had said last night but she thought she would need to remind him not the other was around. Something seemed to have happened to him when she was away, and she wasn't complaining because as much as he still had that dirty side, he seemed softer in his tone and his words showed her was more serious about a relationship.

"But not here, not with the nurses listening in and Naomi lip reading." Turning to look at Naomi who looked like she was trying to listen to Archer but was more interested in what was going on between Addison and Mark. "How about we go to dinner tonight and talk about everything? I don't think that LA is right for me." She couldn't help but sigh when she heard Mark's pager go off; she knew that she couldn't keep him if he was meant to be working.

"Yeah, I'll meet you at 7; make sure you put something amazing on, even if I'll be taking it off at the end of the night." Gasping playfully when he kissed her cheek, she felt her skin tingle and light on fire.

Watching him walk away, she took a deep breath when he turned the corner before she walked back into Archer's room. "Don't give me a lecture, actually, don't say anything." Warning Naomi, she collapsed back into the chair next to Archer, knowing that tonight would be interesting.
