It had been two weeks, since Adriena and Meredith’s relationship had been brought to the attention of the chief thanks to an anonymous tip. Two weeks, since Detective Adriena Anderson had been given the ultimatum to either break up with Meredith, or transfer Meredith from Alpha. Two Weeks, since Adriena, in frustration had made herself a third option and quit her job as the lead Detective of the Alpha Team in station seventeen’s homicide department.

A lot had changed for the A Team in those two weeks, most relevant of which, was the new leadership. Everyone on the team assumed that the chief would promote Max into the role of lead Detective, instead, she had moved up the lead of the station’s Beta team, Tina Jackson, and moved Max out of Alpha to run Beta. Angela was given Logan as her partner, and Meredith was benched. Everything had been turned upside down, and the team was working hard to do their best with the cards they had been dealt. @thelightxwithin​

It didn’t take long for Angela and Logan to notice that Tina seemed to have her eye on Meredith. Maybe three days into them working under Tina, the flirting had started. Meredith was put in a weird position, where she couldn’t do much about it, because Tina was her boss now. When she ignored Detective Jackson’s advances, she would be stuck in the office with paperwork, when she was polite to the new leader, she was given actual detective work to do. None of them felt like they could go to the chief, because they were afraid that Meredith would be blamed again. It seemed that the new chief had some sort of bone to pick with Meredith. Joanna’s theory was that the new chief had been a rival to Meredith’s mother.

Adriena knew about Tina’s advances, because Meredith, and the rest of the team told her. Meredith had assured her that there was nothing going on, and that she was in no way interested in the new team lead, and she was pretty sure that Adriena believed and trusted her.

Alpha was between cases, and a small group of officers from the station were planning a night out. Joanna and Tara invited the old A team, Adriena included, but somehow, the little get together had become a much bigger event. Almost the whole station was there that night, and from the looks of it, Detective Jackson had been drinking more than she could handle.

Logan and Tara had disappeared, twenty or so minutes ago, probably off making out somewhere, (they did that a lot now), Angela was outside, and on the phone with her girlfriend, who was calling from Dubai. Max was on the dance floor with Felix and Lucy, Meredith was at a table with Joanna, Danielle and Devin, Adriena had just left the table to go get a refill for her and Jo.

Meredith didn’t see the beginning of the altercation between Adriena and Tina. She turned when Devin pointed it out, and by the time she was looking that way, Max was standing between the two older women. Adriena had fire behind her eyes, and Tina was wearing a smug, drunken smile. “Okay, I swear to god if you do not stop praying on my girlfriend,” Adriena was saying as she took a step forward closer to Max’s outstretched hand. “Are you threatening me, Detective Ander-- oh wait, it’s just Adriena now, isn’t it?”

Both Meredith and Joanna got up and started their way toward the interaction. Jo, joined Max between the two women, and Meredith placed her hand on Adriena’s arm. “Hey, she’s not worth it, come on, come back to the table.”

The moment Meredith disappeared, Max laughed to himself about the situation. He was just given a front row seat to the best gossip there was. Years had they watched the painful interactions between both detectives, who seemed incredibly clueless about the situation themselves. Denial all over the place. Even when Adriena was dead staring at Meredith wearing her shirt a little too low during drinks after work, she still managed to deny the fact not only to him, but also to herself. He wondered how this went in their heads

[Text to: Lord Maxwell] I’m on my way to Adriena’s place as well. [6:50]

‘[Text to: Goliath’s daughter] Oh, you’re in for a treat [7:07]

Max smirked at his phone, too distracted to realize that Tara wasn’t mentioned in this story. Angela arrived only seconds after he sent the text back, eyes glancing up at his partner. He gestured her to come and leaned against the kitchen counter. “Guess who I found walking around the house half naked this morning” He half whispered, Meredith having impeccable timing in regards of coming back in. “Oh really?” Angela turned her head, a satisfied expression playing her face. “You can wipe that stupid smirk of your face though, you’re down a hundred bucks”  @thelightxwithin​

Meredith took her time getting dressed, partly because she had to decide whether to put on more of Adriena’s clothes or get back into her dirty clothes from the chase and the dive bar the day before. She ended up putting on something else of Adriena’s, knowing that she was going to be teased no matter what she wore.

Eventually she came out of the bedroom once more, now finding that Max was no longer alone. Again Meredith stopped in her tracks, watching as Max told Angela what he had seen earlier that morning. She pressed forward she walked the rest of the way into the room as the other two continued to talk. “Wait, did you guys bet on us?”

[mollysmythtymsyllom]

Adriena turned around the corner with the expectation of finding Meredith in comfortable clothing and a cup of tea in front of a Netflix series, or with files in hand, but when her gaze met the couch, it was empty. Her eyes scanned the room and caught movement at the bedroom door. As the door swung open, she was staring at the figure that stepped out of it, her heartbeat immediately rocketing.

“Hey” Adriena said again, glaring over Meredith’s features before her eyes finally met Meredith’s. She swallowed, watching the robe hit the ground. The detective swallowed. “Merry Christmas indeed” Her heart was pounding loudly in her chest as she finally stepped closer, eyes checking Meredith out shamelessly before she leaned in closer to kiss her. Trying to hold herself back, the kiss was forcibly gentle before she leaned back once again. It was so easy to work the other back into her bedroom, but she wanted to take this slow, really enjoy this moment. She took a hold of the end of the  ribbon, gently pulling whilst keeping eye contact with Meredith. She wanted her co-worker to feel every inch of tension between them; both knowing this was a bomb ready to explode. With Meredith, she really did continue to feel like a hormonal teenager. @thelightxwithin​

As the fabric dropped and revealed Meredith’s breasts, eyes found the amazing view and hands inched closer to touch down on her skin. It was just teasing at this point, lazy fingertips trailing over her chest before hands cupped her breasts and both thumbs found her nipples. There wasn’t a moment she broke their eye contact, feeling slightly powerful at this touch. “This is the best Christmas gift i’ve ever gotten”. 

Yep, this was everything Meredith had been hoping for. She fully enjoyed watching the face journey that Adriena went on as she took in the display that Meredith had set up for her. She bit her lower lip when Adriena’s eyes reached her own, then smiled into the kiss, noticing how restrained the other woman was being. She held looked down watching as Adriena’s hands took the ends of the bow, then she looked back, wanting to see Adriena’s expressing. It wasn’t like this was the first time that Adriena had seen her naked. No, their sexlife had been quite healthy since the first night they got together. They both seemed to not be able to get enough of each other. Meredith thought that over time, they’d be less. . . well horny, but as far as she was concerned, those feelings didn’t seem to be dying down. Maybe it was their bodies trying to make up for the three years it took for them to actually make it to this point. Meredith didn’t know, and she certainly wasn’t complaining.

Meredith held eye contact while Adriena’s hands explored her skin. She hadn’t realized that she was holding her breath until Adriena’s thumbs moved to her nipples and she let out a shuttering exhale. Adriena spoke and Meredith grinned. “The night is still young, I have more planned.” If Adriena was willing to play along that was.

[mollysmythtymsyllom]

Things had changed during the years and even though it still took some adjusting, Adriena was starting to feel it more and more. The safety of being with someone, instead of the fear. A warmth during Christmas, instead of the cold. Adriena stood up from her desk and left everything as it was. She grabbed her phones and key and locked up the office. The precinct was silent too, only a few people were working and most of those were out patrolling the streets. For her though, for the first time in years, she was going home for the remained of Christmas eve.

As she arrived home, she dropped her stuff in the hallway, sharpening her hearing briefly. “Hellooo?” @thelightxwithin​

To say that Meredith was nervous would be an understatement. She wasn’t sure if this was a good idea, and it was a little embarrassing. There was a chance that Adriena wouldn’t like it. Was she being too childish? The jokes that would come out of the rest of the team if they heard about this. . . No, Meredith was determined. She wanted to make tonight special for the two of them, and she had a pretty good idea of the expression that doing this would pull out of the older woman. If worst came to worse they would both laugh about it, if things went well, well, it would be a long, and amazing night.

Meredith’s heart kicked into overdrive as she heard Adriena’s keys in her door. “You got this, Webster,” she whispered to herself before walking out of Adriena’s bedroom and toward where the other woman was. Meredith was wearing a black silk robe that stopped halfway down her thighs. For now that’s what she was wearing. “Hey,” she said, waiting for Adriena to look her way. When their eyes met, Meredith smirked, she waited for Adriena to start checking her out before dropping the robe, to reveal black lacy panties and the bow so craftily placed over her breasts. “Merry Christmas.”

[mollysmythtymsyllom]

Meredith looked down at th text response from Adriena and smiled. She was glad that it didn’t take more convincing to get Adriena away from work. She remembered the past year where it had been just the two of them, working in silence, and sometimes talking. She remembered their first Christmas Eve together. That was the night after Joanna had kissed Meredith under the mistletoe toe. Meredith remembered feeling the need to tell Adriena that the kiss had meant nothing. She remembered wanting to tell the other that the kiss meant nothing, because the only person that Meredith wanted to be kissing back then was Adriena. 

[Detective Webster text:] Good, I have a present for you. 

@thelightxwithin

[mollysmythtymsyllom]

Detective Webster: Hey, I know you have a Christmas Eve tradition of working late, but you should go home tonight

Detective Webster: PS, I'm at your apartment.

New to the Job

Adriena walked over to her desk and grabbed two files, her gaze moving over to Tara to get her to move. The young officer smiled awkwardly before leaving the office. This wasn’t the first time she hung around unwanted, but she was curious and social. Tara was known around the entire precinct, not due to status or talent, because she was quite average, but because she just hung around everywhere.

“Trapper killer” The detective dropped down one of the files on Logan’s desk before walking over to Meredith. “We all know what’s going on, it’s all over the news and every officer in this godforsaken city is starting to freak out -and with reason. This sick bastard might be out of our jurisdiction, but believe me when I say that this is far from over. The FBI is getting involved and we are going to be too, in between cases.” Adriena handed Meredith the file, briefly lingering before she released the case. “I don’t really care what you all have going on in your personal lives, but we’re going to spend extra time on this. Our co-workers are dying and it will be a matter of time before it will happen to our precinct too. We catch this asshole”

Adriena turned her head. “You guys are late” The blonde tried to sound strict, but there was a clear difference between how she treated others and those two. She grabbed two more files and shoved them under their faces before grabbing a remote to the large television in their office. “Then back to our current case for now- Meredith, what do you have?” @thelightxwithin​

Logan walked around her desk to sit in her chair as Adriena walked past her. Her head was pounding and her muscles were sore, but she did her best to hide it. She gave Tara a little awkward wave goodbye, then looked to her boss. Adriena started talking and immediately had both Meredith and Logan’s full attention. Logan winced a little when the file fell in front of her on her desk. She reached for it as Adriena spoke. Just the name, sent chills running through her, and not the fun kind. Logan’s parents had begged to hold off on her move when news got out about the Trapper Killer. Of course she had to move to a city where cops were being killed. Of course.

Meredith also knew exactly what Adriena was talking about. She had already started her own research into the case in her free time. She wasn’t scared of the new killer, no she was excited to be involved in catching them and locking them up. She saw this as a chance to save lives, not a chance to put her own life at risk once more. She reached for the file handed to her, her hand brushing up against the blonde’s briefly. Her heart sped up for a moment as the contact between them lingered, but the moment ended quickly. Too quickly for her liking.

Logan smiled when Adriana said that they would be working on the case in their free time. She liked how dedicated Detective Anderson was to the job. It made her want to work harder herself. Adriena was one of those leaders who were able to inspire hard work and loyalty. Logan had only known the woman for a week, and she already looked up to her. When Max and Angela came into the room with coffee for everyone, Logan silently thanked the gods. She took her coffee and waited quietly as Meredith spoke.

Meredith thanked Angela for her coffee, then picked up the file that she had been working on before Adriena came into the room. “Alexander Burton,” she said as the TV turned on to show a picture of their number one suspect. “Has three priors, all counts of sexual misconduct. Has never been convicted, probably because he’s white and his family has money. I have no less than four witnesses from the party that all say they saw him talking to Brittany Larson that night, and one who saw him leading her upstairs.” The case was a missing person’s case. One Brittany Larson, eighteen, college student, had been missing for a week, and was last seen at a college frat party.

Hungover

"Well i tend to drink water throughout the night. am never actually hungover tara smiled gently at other not hiding that she was fairly amused see suffer from a hangover. planted her feet on others desk and leaned back in logan chair smile growing wider now. always seeking annoy little bit or goofing around precinct. generally got away with behavior more than others. except..

"Officer Lewis, feet off table and get the hell out of this office" The blonde walked in with her fingers curled around a fresh cup of coffee from the place down the street. With just one look, Tara stood upright. The only one she feared in this office was luiteanant Anderson, that woman gave her the chills and also, a form of immediate respect. "I've got to goo..." She smiled faintly now, her eyes briefly drifting off to detective Webster, who she was quite sure was exchanging looks with the witch of the precinct. "I will see you later?" @thelightxwithin

Logan was new to the city. She was new to the job and didn’t quite know the hierarchy of the precinct yet. In her last job, the detectives and the cops usually stayed separate from each other, but Officer Lewis had been the first to greet Logan with a warm welcome. Logan didn’t know if she was just being friendly or if she had ulterior motives, either way, it was nice to have a friendly face in a new setting. The night before, as maybe a welcome to the family hazing ritual, Tara had invited Logan out for drinks. Logan agreed to go, and had ended up having a really good time, but she hadn’t done a good job of watching her alcohol intake, and now she was feeling it.

When Tara came into the room acting like she belonged there Logan assumed that it was normal for her to be there, though Meredith took notice of the situation. Meredith had been sitting at her own desk, focusing on some paperwork. She knew the tell tale signs of a hangover, so she was giving Logan space. The two hadn’t spoken yet that morning. Meredith sat quietly , watching as detective Grey and office Lewis interacted.

When Adriena came into the room, both Meredith and Logan’s pasture changed. Meredith sat up a bit straighter. Logan tried her best not to look hungover. She really didn’t want to give off a bad impression on her first week of work. “Detective Anderson,” Logan said, giving Adriena a salute. Meredith fought the urge to laugh. Between Logan and Tara’s reactions, it was hard for her not to tease. She looked over at Adriena and arched an eyebrow. Man it felt good not to be the newbie anymore. Logan nodded to Tara. “Sure, yeah, later.”
