No, I don't own the characters of House. David Shore is being greedy and refuses to share the profits with me .

Cuddy kicked off her stiletto heels and put on her satin robe, was thinking about nearly losing her life to the sickness on the airplane, when she realized how short life really was, was beginning to feel the strong feeling of fear, that she would never be married to the man of her dreams and have a family. She slowly walked over to her kitchen to pour herself a glass of champagne, when a rush of emotion came over her, thinking about how much she was in love with House.

"This must be the jet lag taking its toll on me; we did fly more than 15 hours to come back to New Jersey." As Cuddy took a long sip of champagne, she realized how tired she was and immediately went to bed after finishing up her drink. As Cuddy yawned and got out of bed, she complained to herself about her mild headache from her glass of champagne last night. She stumbled on her way to her closet, where she put her her Armani suit with a silk v-neck blouse on, ready to take care of her paperwork, which she regretted falling behind on, during her business trip.

She walked over to her medicine cabinet to take a proper dosage of Motrin to take care of her hangover, and then she applied concealer and foundation over her puffy eyes from her lack of sleep. As she walked out her apartment door, Cuddy reminisced over what her life was like when she was young and didn't have this much responsibility, enjoying being carefree. Cuddy was dreading the complaints from the patients who were treated by LPNs in the hospital, which was the first obstacle she encountered walking in to work. When she was in her office, she couldn't help but fantasize about House, remembering his gentle touch several years from their previous relationship.

As Cuddy was daydreaming, House ran into her office, demanding her permission to conduct open heart surgery on a patient who had recently lost a considerable amount of blood on his previous surgery to clear his arteries to prevent a stroke or heart attack, which unfortunately had only resulted in him being dependent on a respirator. "What?", Cuddy said after she refocused on the issue at hand, after leaving a daydream, "I need to operate on this moron, ASAP, or the rest of his organs will eventually fail from the blood flow stopping," House snapped. "What ever you want to do House," Cuddy reluctantly replied, "what's the hell is wrong with you today? You always put up a fight when I need permission to proceed with my case" House said surprised. "I'm fine, House, I'm off from the awful jet lag, that's all," Cuddy replied. "Okay then," House warily replied. "Wait! House, I was wondering, would you care to have dinner with me tonight, at my place? Just as colleagues, nothing more", Cuddy cunningly asked, glancing at House in a sweet manner. "Must I?" asked House. "I would really appreciate it, I want to discuss something very important with you", Cuddy replied, practically nearly begging him to come over. "Ok, I'll come, just to make you happy, so I don't get in trouble," House muttered. As House rushed out of her office, Cuddy noticed House was secretly smiling, knowing he might have strong feelings for her too. Cuddy could barely wait; she just wanted to be alone with House tonight.
(Several hours have passed and House is knocking at Cuddy's door)

"CUDDY", House yells as he notices no one is answering the door, then he suddenly notices the door is unlocked, "strange", House thinks to himself when he enters into Cuddy's apartment, where many fragrant candles are lit around her large living room, and sensual music is playing, and the lights are dimmed he drops the fresh roses and bottle of wine on her coffee table. Suddenly, Cuddy appears in a skimpy red, revealing red evening dress, with a seductive glance towards House. "You're really dressed up, what's this plot Cuddy?" House said suspiciously. "It's nothing House, I just wanted to look presentable tonight, sit down and make yourself comfortable", Cuddy replied. On the platter Cuddy set up, she happened to hire a chef to cook file mignon since she never cooked in her life. Cuddy scotched over next House, to make sure she could get good eye contact. House couldn't help but notice that Cuddy looked really good tonight, and he was famished. He was beginning to stare at her, as his former girlfriend, and she looked no different than 3 years ago. Cuddy was nervously creating conversation, trying to keep this dinner work related when she couldn't help it anymore, Cuddy finally began to say, "I know we used to date and this might make it awkward, but I feel we have a real chemistry that we can't deny,", as Cuddy was lingering, House grabbed Cuddy and immediately kissed her, she felt so strange having his soft lips against hers, and she immediately kissed back passionately responding while they eventually ended up in the bedroom, where she laid with house.
