Chapter 2: Her hair smelled like lavender

Addisons POV:

I got up from the cold floor of the on call room and brushed myself off. I had no idea how interesting of a person Meredith Grey was. Sure she wasn't one to show much emotion or share opinions on things but she did today. She shared them with me.

I walked out of the small room and into the corridor. Bailey came running past me with a gurney carrying a man covered in blood. She nodded at me briefly, signalling my to go and help in the pit.
A pregnant woman in her 30s came in heavily injured after a tree fell on her. I stitched her up and checked the baby and everything seemed fine. Once I'd gotten her to a bed i walked back into the pit and saw Meredith on top of a patient. She had her legs around him and she was sat on top of him on the gurney doing heart compressions.
She looked so focused with her hair tied back loosely and her hands moving rapidly on the mans chest. I went over to see if there was anything i could do to help and Hunt told me i could keep his head steady.

I placed my hands on the side of his face meaning i was directly in eye line of the blonde intern. She looked up briefly and smiled at me. I smiled back and we just stayed like that for a minute. Owen suddenly broke it tho by shouting at grey to keep compressing.

"Sorry Doctor hunt" she gasped.

When we arrived at the O.R Meredith was still on top of him. "Someone get doctor grey off my patient" Richard called as he placed on his surgical gown.

Strangely i felt myself moving closer to dr grey. I walked to the side of the gurney where her waist was and reached out my hand. She looked at my strangely before turning her body in my direction. I felt my hands place themselves on her waist before gently lifting her over the cool metal bar. She jumped down and i noticed that my hand was still slightly grazing her hip so i let go quickly before moving back and putting my hair behind my ears awkwardly.

She was surprisingly light for a person. Kind of like the weight of a young teen. However her presence and her body were mature. I don't think she acknowledged the fact that i just had hold of her and why should she it was only for a second.
I snapped out of my thoughts and made my way back out of the O.R as this was a general surgery so not in my area.

Merediths POV:

The entire day had been chaotic. I was exhausted from the early surgery and then the crying and now an emergency splenectomy. My hands were sore from doing heart compressions for so long and so it was nice to take a minute to relax them.
The entire time i stood in the O.R doing suction for Dr webber i was thinking about the way Addison offered to help me off the gurney. Usually a nurse would pull down the bar and stand behind while i jumped off but she actually offered me her hand. She touched my waist and helped me off.
Her hands were so gentle. I cant quite understand why she would do that its not like we were close friends or anything. Simply work colleges. And people Derek had slept with.
She was really messing with my head. Id only known her for two weeks and she was all i thought about. Her soft red curls, her dazzling blue eyes, her tall slim figure, her pearly smile, how she places one hand on her left hip and leans over when shes thinking about something. Its not like i love her or anything of course not i was just intrigued by her.

I shook my head vigorously trying to focus on something else because surely her gesture earlier was just a friendly assistance after being so upset before.

We finished the surgery after a few hours and i was exhausted. I slumped out of the O.R with my eyes half closed and i made my way over to the on call room as i was working that night. I opened the door and within seconds i was on the bed "thank god" i groaned. As my head hit the pillow i fell asleep instantly dozing off into a dream.
I woke up in the night to the sound of scuffling. Someone else was in the room with me and i was clueless as to who.
I didn't want to turn on the light incase i woke them up which i deemed unfair. I tried to ignore it as i curled back up under the thin beige sheets and closed my eyes tightly.
