So this is a new fic where Mer and Addie get sent on a 3 day business trip in London but Richard makes them stay for 2 weeks so they get along better. It's set in season 4 of Greys and Derek left to open his own practice in DC
Meredith pov:
Addison and I get called to Richards office for a meeting and he starts to tell us about some conference in London and I think I know where he's going with this but I'm too scared to try and think about going anywhere with Addison.
"Richard where exactly are you going with this because by the looks of things you want Meredith and I to go" Addison scoffs "Well yes" he says "Is there not someone else that can go?" I ask "No because of the VIP surgery no other residents are available for the next two weeks and Addie isn't on that case anyway" Richard explains "London is far, how long are we there?" I ask cautiously.
"The conference is only three days long but you two ARE going to spend two weeks together because the tension that is caused by your relationship in the hospital is toxic and you need to fix it you leave in tomorrow " Richard says "Why do you expect me to spend two weeks with her without going crazy, I mean she's messy and Annoying" Addison snorts "You realise I'm sitting right next to you?" I ask maybe Richard wasn't wrong "Grey your not relevant right now" she huffs.u
"Look you girls make a great team in the OR and you are both like daughters to me so I know you two would get along in a more personal manner. And in reality Derek is gone he left weeks ago and is in DC with his own practice so I think you should put your past behind you and start over" Richard says seriously "Ew are you trying to set us up because you just referred to us as your daughters so that would make us sisters" I burst out laughing.
"Yeah thanks but no" Addison giggles "We will see what happens" he says shooing us out his office. "Well this sucks" I huff.
The next day Addison and I are at the airport waiting to go through security, the line was so long so we just stood in an awkward silence for 10 minutes then this woman walked past us with this ugly brown and purple outfit and I saw Addisons eyes following her with a look of disgust.
She suddenly turned to look at me "Ew did you see her?" She asks in a gossipy voice "I know I would never" I say and we carried on conversing until we got through security.
That was until Addison had a meltdown because she forgot to take her toiletry bag out of the suitcase that had just got taken to security and she was complaining about not being able to do her skincare. "Shut up you are not dying" I yelled "Fine" she yelled back and walked off "Fine" shout back.
After walking around for a while I go to one of the bars in the airport and low and behold satan is there calmly sipping her wine looking out at the planes "Hey I couldn't help but notice the fight you and your wife had back there" I overheard a guy said to Addison and put his hand on her shoulder "Oh she's not-"I cut Addison off by wrapping my arm around her waist "I'm sorry about the fight we had baby" I say pretending not to see the guy and giving Addison a small Chanel gift bag. "Oh I didn't see you there" I say to the guy.
Addison and I left soon after and I still had my arm around her she hadn't said anything yet but I could tell she was flustered. After her not talking a lot until we where on the plane"I am not your wife" she turned to look at me " I know but that guy looked a little to much like Derek" I scoffed "Maybe guys like Derek are my type" she said "Ha, if guys like Derek where your type you would still be married" I laugh "Ouch, low blow Grey and by the way I would still be married if I hadn't slept with his best friend" she sighs.
"You can't blame yourself for what happened because you've said it yourself that your marriage was doomed from the start" I say "When did you grow up?" Addison chuckles.
