The next few days, Addison and Alex spent every free minute together. Most of the nights they spent in Alex’s apartment but they didn’t have sex. Alex always told Addison that he was okay with that but nevertheless Addison had a bad conscience.
“Hey”, Addison heard a familiar voice whispering behind her. She smiled and turned around.
“Hey”, she whispered back, smiling at Alex. “Come to my office”, she added and lightly pulled him wither her on his lab coat.
Alex followed into her office and closed the door. He walked over to her, wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her. She smiled against his lips and returned the kiss. When they pulled away, Addison rested her forehead against his. Alex softly ran his hands up and down Addison’s back and looked into her eyes.
“So… we both have the next two days off…” he said, smiling. “Do you wanna spent the weekend with me?” he asked.
Addison smiled brightly. “I would love to…” she said “…but actually I wanted to do some shopping on Saturday…” she added, looking at him with puppy dog eyes.
Alex groaned. “You will do this to me, won’t you?”
Addison laughed. “Not if you are really, really nice to me…”
“I’m always nice to you”, he said and softly kissed her on the nose.
“Okay, then you don’t have to come with me…” She kissed him softly on the mouth. “But…” she added and Alex raised an eyebrow. “…you have to pick me up somewhere.”
“That, I would love to do”, he said, giving her another kiss on the nose.
“Good”, she said and leaned in to kiss him but was stopped by his finger on her mouth.
“You wanna have dinner with me tonight?” he asked.
“Would love to”, she answered, pushing his finger aside to kiss him. Their kiss started slow but soon became more passionate and intense. Alex lifted one hand and stroke lovingly through her hair. Addison pulled, smiling back.
“Don’t ruin my hair-do”
Alex laughed. “I’m doing my best…”
He leaned in to kiss her again when one of their pagers went off. “Damn it”, Alex stated and both of them looked whose it was.
“Crap”, Addison said. “It’s mine… and it’s urgent… patient is coding.”
She kissed Alex goodbye and headed out of the office. Alex left her office a little later and got back to his own work.
When Addison returned to her office, she found a note from Alex. ‘I’ll meet you after your shift by your car =)’ While she read this note, Addison smiled brightly.
After their shift, Alex and Addison came across by the elevator. Addison smiled.
“Dr. Karev”, she said. “Your shift’s over?”
“Yup… Yours as well?” He flashed her a smile.
Addison nodded and walked into the empty elevator, followed by Alex. He stepped next to her and waited for the doors to close. Then he turned to Addison. He smiled and stroke lovingly over her cheek.
“Where are we going?” she asked.
“I thought about going to my place, making dinner together and then go to the fun fair, if you want to…”
Addison grinned brightly. “I would love to”
Alex smiled. “Good”
When the elevator doors opened, Alex and Addison walked out and to their cars. They got in and drove to Alex’s apartment. He waited for Addison to arrive, opened her door and helped her out of the car. They walked together into Alex’s apartment.
Alex let Addison in and grasped her by the hips. He pulled her towards him, closed the space between them and kissed Addison passionate.
“I mussed you”, he said when they pulled apart.
Addison smiled and pulled him closer. “I missed you too.”
Alex lifted Addison onto his arms and carried her into the kitchen. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and kissed him on the cheek. When Alex arrived in the kitchen, he let Addison down. He rested his hands on her waist and looked at her.
“So, what do you wanna eat?”
Addison thought for a moment. “What do you have?”
Alex laughed. “That’s a very good question…” He walked to his freezer and opened the door.
“Ummm… not so much”, he then answered. Addison stepped behind him, wrapped her arms around his body and rested her chin on his shoulder. She looked into the freezer and started to laugh. “Maybe we should go out…”, she suggested.
Alex grinned sheepish. “Yeah, I guess you’re right.” He wrapped his arms behind her body around Addison’s waist. “If you want to we could catch something on the funfair…” he offered.
Addison softly kissed the back of his neck. “Sounds very good to me…”
“Good”, Alex responded, turned around in Addisons grasp and leaned against the counter behind him. He pulled Addison close to him and kissed her nose.
Addison rested her head on Alex’s shoulder. “Although I rather wanna be alone with you, I have to say lets go, cause I’m kinda starving”, she said.
Alex smiled sweetly. “You’ll have me the whole weekend just for you”, Alex replied. “You wanna come here later or go to the hotel?”
“Your apartment”, Addison mumbled into Alex.
He smiled. “You like it pretty much around here, don’t you?” he said and kissed her on top of her head.
“Yeah”, Addison agreed and blushed lightly. “But I like it wherever you are…” she then added.
Alex smiled. “Okay, let’s go now. If we are coming back later anyways we can take my car”, he said, now softly rubbing Addison’s back.
“Okay”, Addison said and slowly let go of Alex’s body. He took her hand and enlaced his fingers with hers. Then he pulled her with him towards the door. Before leaving Alex grabbed his digicam. They left the apartment and drove to the funfair.
Alex opened Addison’s door. “So, what do you wanna eat?” he asked, offering his hand to help her getting out.
Addison took the hand and got out of the car. “Maybe a burger or something but let’s see what they have and then we gonna decide.” Addison held Alex’s hands close and enlaced her fingers with his.
Hand in hand, Alex and Addison walked through a few rows with stands and soon found something to eat. Alex bought a hot dog for both of them. Eating the hot dogs they walked over the funfair and looked at the attractions. They drove the Farris wheel and Alex shot a soft toy animal for Addison.
When they came to a candy stand, Alex asked:”Do you wanna have some candy floss or something else?”
“I haven’t eat candy floss in years, so… yes, I would love to” she answered and Alex went and bought her some. He made some on his finger and let it Addison smiling ate. She liked it off his finger and then bit him playfully.
“Hey”, he protested and spread Addison some candy floss on the nose. She laughed and let Alex eat the candy from her nose. Before he let go of her, he whipped over her nose and then softly kissed her on it. The two of them had a lot fun that evening, talked and laughed a lot.
They took pictures of each other but still hadn’t got one of both of them. “I’m going to ask these people if they would take a picture of us…” Alex said and let go of Addison’s hand which he was holding. She nodded and waited a few feet away.
“Excuse me… would you take a picture of me and my girlfriend?” Alex asked an elderly woman.
“Oh, of course”, she answered and took the am from Alex.
He walked back to Addison, stepped behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. Her arms covered his and she leaned her head against him. Alex’s head rested on Addison’s shoulder. Both of them smiled happily.
The lady took a picture and then said to the two of them:”I could take a few more pictures if you so that you have more than just one.”
Addison and Alex looked at each other and smiled. “That would be great”, Addison answered.
They made a bunch of pictures in different poses. “You two are a cute couple…”
“Thanks”, Addison and Alex answered at the same time. They looked at each other and smiled.
“Would you take one last picture of us?” Alex asked. When the woman nodded, he added:”Kissing…” and looked at Addison who still smiled and slightly nodded in response.
“Of course”, the lady nodded and smiled.
Alex and Addison leaned in and softly kissed each other. The woman took a few pictures of the two of them and then waited until they pulled apart. When they did, she handed Alex the cam back and said goodbye.
“Bye and thanks again for taking the pictures”, Alex said and waved the woman goodbye, so did Addison. Then he turned back to Addison and wrapped one arm around her shoulders. She put her arm around his waist and pulled him closer.
“You wanna go for a walk?” Alex asked, softly kissing Addison on top of her head.
Addison agreed and the two of them went for a walk. When they walked through a park, they found a stage where a life band played. There were a few people listening to the band, some of them dancing. Alex walked a little slower and they both listened to the music.
“Would you like to dance?” he suddenly asked.
Addison smiled. “I would love to.”
Alex let go of Addison’s waist and held his hand out, waiting for her to take it. She laid her hand into his and Alex lead her to the little dance floor. The band played a romantic song and Addison and Alex moved slowly to it. They held each other very close and didn’t let go.
“I didn’t know you were such a good dancer”, Addison whispered into Alex’s ear as they danced.
Alex grinned sheepish. “Yeah, well…” he said ”My mom forced me to take dancing lessons… but I guess there are a few more things you don’t know about me…” he softly kissed Addison on top of her head. She nodded.
They danced for a few songs the band played. Addison’s head rested on Alex’s shoulder and her eyes were closed.
“Addie?” Alex suddenly asked.
“Hmmhmm?!”
“I have to tell you something… but you have to promise me not to freak out…” he said.
Addison looked at him. “You won’t tell me that you’re dying nor leaving me, will you?”
Alex raised an eyebrow. “Of course I am not!”
“Good, then I won’t freak out”
“Good”, Alex stated and took a deep breath. “I … I guess I am in love with you…” he then said and looked at Addison waiting for a reaction.
A smile played around Addison’s lips. “How did we become this close in that little time?” she asked.
Alex was a little confused that she didn’t say anything to his confession but said:”I honestly have no idea…”
Addison still smiled and rested her head against his shoulder. They danced till the song was over, then Addison suddenly stopped moving. She looked at Alex.
“I am in love with you, too”, she then said.
A bright smile stood out on Alex’s face and he kissed her nose softly.
The band now played a song that was a little faster. “Come on, let’s just listen a little to the music”, Addison suggested.
“Okay”, Alex agreed, laid his arm around her shoulders and they walked a bit away from the dance floor. While they were walking, Addison wrapped her arms around Alex’s stomach and leaned slightly against him.
When they stopped, Alex let go of Addison’s shoulders and stepped behind her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and rested his chin on her shoulder. Addison covered Alex’s arms with hers and leaned against his chest. Their heads touched and Alex pulled Addison as close as he could.
They stood like this for a while and listened to the music the band was playing. From time to time, Alex gave Addison sweet and soft kisses on the back of her neck. Addison’s eyes were closed and smiled by every of Alex’s little kisses.
“Are you tired?” Alex whispered.
“Just a tiny little bit”, Addison yawned.
Alex laughed and kissed her on the neck. “Okay, I’m gonna take you home, so you can get some rest…”
Addison pulled Alex’s arms closer around herself. “Don’t leave me alone!”
“I’ll never do that”, Alex said and kissed her softly.
Addison smiled and squeezed Alex’s arms, who turned her around in his grasp. “I promise”, he whispered and locked eyes with Addison. She smiled sweetly and pulled him closer.
After a few moments Alex said:”Let’s go now. It’s getting a little cold… are you cold?”
“Nope, I’m perfectly okay”, Addison answered smiling. “But let’s go anyway.”
They walked together to Alex’s car and drove to his apartment.
