This is my first fan-fiction. I don't know how long it is going to be. Hopefully the story will shape itself. Please rate.

Cameron sat next to Chase in a restaurant. Cameron had asked Chase to dinner.

"You're not high again, right?" Chase asked Cameron, breaking the silence.

"No…" she said, looking like she was about to say something else, but she didn't.

"Then why did you ask me to dinner? We can't have it get all awkward at work again." Chase said after a minute.

Cameron didn't reply right away. She was trying to find the right words. Finally she burst. "Why did Cuddy pick Foreman? Foreman's an ass. It should have been me!"

Chase took his time responding. He knew she had been waiting to ask this for awhile. "Why don't you just ask her? She's the one who picked. I don't know the inner workings of her mind."

"Even though you want to," Cameron muttered angrily. Thankfully Chase didn't hear. To him she said, "Why don't you just go home. This is pointless."

Chase took her hand. "I can't leave you your distressed."

"Chase! We can't become a we. It would be awkward at work." Cameron said, not totally surprised at Chase's actions.

"It won't be awkward. We won't have sex. Besides, last time we only hooked up because you were high." Chase said hopefully.

"I… you…. House," was all Cameron was able to get out. She picked up her purse and ran outside leaving her coat, and the bill, with Chase.

Cameron was back at her apartment. Completely screwed up.

"What was with Chase?" she asked herself. "Is he still in love with me? Am I still in love with him? And why did I say House? Am I in love with House?"

Questions went through her mind all night. She finally stopped asking herself questions when her alarm rang for work. She got up and went to shower. The only useful event of the night was the fact that she had figured out what she was going to do with Cuddy. She would just ask her face to face.

Chase was just as confused as Cameron. Signing the bill he got up and left, taking her coat with him.

"I know I'm still in love with her. But, why did she say House? IS she in love with him?" he asked himself, trying to make sense of the words she had said.

He finially gave up when he realized if he didn't shower soon he would be late for work.

It would be awkward between Chase and Cameron at work that day. There was no doubt about that.
