day 9

addison's pov:

"I want to take you on a date" Meredith says suddenly, randomly, as we sat watching TV one afternoon. "Tonight. Let me take you on a date"

I laugh, looking at her like she's crazy. "We're stuck in quarantine, remember?" I remind her, and she rolls her eyes playfully back in response.

"I know, doofus" she says with a goofy smile "a stay-in date. I'll plan something, decorate nicely, you can hide in the bathroom" she tells me, and I raise an eyebrow.

"You're willing to poke me into the bathroom for an hour, just to take me on a date?" I ask, wondering if she's completely lost her mind. There wasn't much we could do in this room for a date that we haven't already done; I couldn't imagine what else she could plan.

"Two hours, and I'll give you a blanket" she bargains, a hopeful smile on her face.

And that's what broke my smile into a full-on face splitting grin; she was absolutely ridiculous, but in the best possible way.

I sigh, looking back her with an amused expression on my face. Blue eyes sparkled in delight, and her smile stretched from ear to ear.

And for perhaps the millionth time that day, I took a moment just to soak in how stunning she was.

"Okay" I say finally "okay. But I'm building a nest in there, and I'm watching the next episode of Tiger King" I declare, referencing the Netflix series we were watching together.

Quarantine had gotten boring, and from what I'd seen online, Joe Exotic was the new rage.

Of course, I had to see what this was all about. And that resulted in Meredith and I watching an episode together every night before we went to sleep.

She had the audacity to look a little shocked at my requests, but quickly shook herself and nodded in agreement.

"Of course. Whatever you want" she promises "I'll text Cristina to drop some things off at the door, and then I'll get started" she leans in to kiss me with a grin, and the butterflies in my stomach somehow multiply.

I didn't think there would be room for any more, but damn did she prove me wrong.

"Okay" I agreed, unable to fathom a single date she could construct within the confines of this room that would shock me.

"Just wait" she promised with the same smile I adored "you'll be amazed"

When Cristina has delivered said supplies, I was banished to the bathroom with a heap of blankets and my laptop, to watch some Netflix while Meredith prepared.

I was nervous, for some odd reason, and I found myself oddly excited. I knew we weren't going anywhere, I knew her options were limited, but just knowing that she planned it especially for me made me excited.

Sitting in the bathroom, with a random episode of The Simpson's blaring in the background (I hadn't been able to uphold my Tiger King request; it wasn't the same watching it without her), my mind raced with different scenarios, different ideas, different predictions.

Meredith was unpredictable, and try as I might, none of my thoughts seemed quite right. Nothing I could possibly conjure up from the depths of my brain did her justice.

After about two hours of sitting and letting my thoughts run free, Meredith finally opened the door.

"I'm sorry love" she says apologetically "but I wanted to amaze you. It took a little longer than expected" she confesses with a small smile, but I'm not angry at all; I'm excited.
