Once upon a time...
‘I think I like this rules thing.’ Addison heard as she walked towards her husband in the hospital lobby. She stopped when she heard that voice, a voice she knew very well. She looked to the woman beside her husband, her face was hidden by her hair but Addison would recognise those dirty blonde curls anywhere. Derek turned and saw Addison. She watched him turn to Meredith and apologise and saw the confusion cross her face but then she looked up to Addison. ‘Oh my god!’ Meredith said as she made her way towards Addison and went straight for a hug, Addison responded and wrapped her arms around her back. ‘Addie, what are you doing here?’ She said as she came back from the hug. Derek was now beside Meredith. ‘You two know each other?’ He asked. Meredith nodded. ‘Yeah, we, she’s, uh we used to date…once upon a time.’ Meredith stuttered a little. ‘Wait you two know each other?’ Meredith said gesturing between them both. Addison sighed. ‘Meredith, Derek’s my husband.’ Meredith’s face dropped. ‘Seriously?’ Meredith asked, anger evident in every syllable. ‘Meredith, I‘m so sorry.’ Derek said as he stepped in front of her. ‘Oh Derek, this isn’t about you, she’s mad at me.’ Addison said as she moved to grab Meredith’s hand and pulled her away from Derek. ‘Can we not do this now? We can talk soon but please…not right now?’ Addison looked at Meredith with sad eyes. Meredith sighed. ‘Fine.’ She muttered. She started to walk away but turned back to Derek. ‘For the record I’m mad at you too…you should have told me you were married but it doesn’t matter now because I’m done…go talk to your wife.’ Meredith walked away from Derek and went straight by Addison and out of the hospital. Leaving both of the Shepherd’s to deal with their own problems.
‘Dr Bailey, can I borrow Grey for a while?’ Addison asked as she came up behind Bailey and the interns. ‘Sure, she’s on your service today anyway.’ Bailey mumbled without looking up from the chart in front of her. Meredith sighed and followed Addison to her office. When the door closed Meredith clicked the lock, she didn’t want anyone interrupting this conversation. ‘So do I get an explanation then?’ She asked as she turned to Addison who was now sat on the edge of her desk. ‘Sure, what should I talk about first?’ Addison replied dryly. Meredith let out an angry sigh. ‘Well maybe you could tell me why when you broke up with me, you said it was because you weren’t ready to settle down, that you didn’t know if you ever would be and then I find out I’m dating your HUSBAND?? Maybe we could start with that.’ Addison moved so that she stood in front of Meredith and grabbed her hand and pulled her over to sit with her on the couch. ‘Because we were young and stupid. You had to go to college and I was just starting Med school so we were going our separate ways and I knew if I had given you any hope then you’d have clung to it. I didn’t want our relationship to fall apart because of the distance…so I ended it and said I wasn’t ready because I thought it would be easier.’ Addison was crying when she finished talking. ‘You thought letting me believe you didn’t love me was a better choice?’ Meredith mumbled. Addison shuffled closer to her on the couch and placed her hand on Meredith’s cheek. ‘God, Mer I did love you. I, uh. I do love you. I always have. Always. I’m sorry for ever making you feel like I didn’t…I just wanted to save us from falling apart.’ Meredith looked up at Addison when she heard those words, she reached up and wiped the tears from Addison’s face and leaned in to kiss her gently. Addison responded to Meredith’s lips instantly and deepened the kiss by parting her lips for Meredith’s tongue. She moved her hands to Meredith’s head and moved her further into the couch so that she was leaning against the armrest, almost laying on her back. After a few minutes of kissing Addison moved away slightly and pulled at Meredith’s shirt, pulling it over her head before reaching for her own, Meredith reached out and stopped her. ‘Wait…don’t do this if you still want Derek, if you’re just gonna get back with him. Please, Addie.’ Meredith said quietly. ‘Derek and I are getting a divorce…his lawyers are preparing the divorce papers as we speak.’ Meredith let out a breath and reached for Addison’s shirt before pulling it off of her. She pulled Addison to her and began to kiss her neck. Addison moaned into Meredith’s shoulder. Meredith moved one of her hands into Addison’s panties and rubbed her clit gently. She smiled into the skin of Addison’s neck as she listened to the other woman moan above her. After a minute or so Meredith removed her hand and pushed Addison’s pants and panties down her legs and let Addison pull her own off before Addison settled between Meredith’s legs again. Addison pressed a kiss to Meredith’s lips and slowly began to trail her kissed lower onto her jawline and neck. When she came down onto Meredith’s breasts, she reached around and unhooked the bra and tossed it aside. Meredith moaned as Addison took a nipple between her teeth and started to suck and nibble lightly. After a few moments she moved to the other one and gave it the same treatment before trailing her kisses down Meredith’s stomach. Meredith groaned when Addison moved past her wetness and trailed her kisses down each of Meredith’s legs and then slowly made her way back up. She stopped at the top of Meredith’s thigh and began to kiss and suck gently. Meredith was squirming beneath her and groaned again. ‘Addie, please.’ She whimpered. Addison let her tongue move up Meredith’s slit and then she began to swirl it around Meredith’s clit, the way she knew Meredith liked. Sure enough Meredith was holding Addison’s head in place and letting out little moans now and then. After a minute Addison slipped a finger into Meredith’s opening and began to move it slowly. Soon she added two more fingers and it wasn’t long after that she felt Meredith clenching around her fingers as she came. Addison continued with her movements until she knew Meredith had had enough and began to kiss her way back up to Meredith’s lips. Meredith moaned into Addison’s mouth and moved quickly to flip their positions, so that she was straddling Addison’s hips. She leaned down and kissed Addison as her hand made it’s way between Addison’s legs. She began to circle her clit with her thumb as she pushed her fingers inside of her. Addison moaned into Meredith’s mouth. Meredith worked quickly, knowing Addison wouldn’t want to wait too long. It was a few minutes later when Addison pulled back from their kissing to moan Meredith’s name. Meredith slowly removed her hand and licked it clean, moaning at the taste. Addison reached up and kissed Meredith’s jaw before pulling the younger woman down to lay on top of her. Addison trailed her fingers through Meredith’s hair. They lay together silently for a few minutes before Meredith mumbled. ‘We should go see patients or something.’ Addison laughed lightly. ‘It can wait, I already checked on them before I found you this morning. Five more minutes.’ Meredith smiled and pressed her lips to Addison’s shoulder. ‘Five more minutes.’ She agreed before snuggling back into Addison’s body.
