He stands in front of the glass door, tapping his cane on the floor, but she is so engrossed in her work that she doesn't notice at all. She bends over a file, her curly hair forming a curtain around her face. She frantically searches her desk and located a binder, which is just as frantically flipped through. She stops suddenly on a page, reads it quickly, then shakes her head in frustration. She sighs and leans back in her chair. He continues to stare at her normal administrative duties when something catches his eye. Her left hand, which had been previously tapping a pen, was placed delicately on the back of her right wrist. He looked on, mesmerized, as he watched her fingers move almost as if she was playing… Unable to help himself, he pushed through the doors marked "Dr. Lisa Cuddy, M.D.," pleased when he saw her startle and drop her hands into her lap. He reached out for them, but she quickly pulled them away.
"What do you want House?" she asked warily.
"Gimme your hands"
"No"
"Just…let me see your hands. I won't hurt you or anything"
She was about to comply when a thought ran through her head. "Wait. Let me se yours first. You probably have something disgusting on them that you want to wipe on me"
He quickly acquiesced, then grabbed her wrists. He ran his hands down until his fingertips and thumbs were resting against her own. He lightly brushed his thumb across her fingertips.
"Yep," he said smugly.
"'Yep' what?" she asked, thoroughly confused.
"Just one more thing…." He yanked her to her feet, causing her to loose her balance and fall against him. He put his hands on her waist and looked into her eyes. Finding nothing in her baby blues to stop him, he swiftly put his lips to hers. She gasped into his mouth, allowing him to deepen the kiss. When he felt her respond and put her arms around his neck, he pulled away from her mouth and kissed down her jaw and neck, making her moan and lean back her head. He spotted just what he was looking for-a small purple-brown bruise under her jaw. He kissed it gently before leaning away from her. "Why didn't you tell me"
"Tell you what?" She had absolutely no idea what he was talking about. Besides, she was still a little blessed out from the kiss.
"You're a musician"
"So?" She asked bewilderedly. "You didn't need to know, so I never thought to tell you. How'd you find out, anyways"
"I saw you. You were practicing on the back of your wrists. And you have calluses on the fingertips of your left hand. That narrows it down to the strings family. Then when I kissed you and you put your head back…" He brushed a hand lightly over the bruise, making her shiver. "You have a bruise. That makes it either violin or viola. I'm guessing…violin"
She chuckled. "Yes...and no. Both actually" But then her smile faded and she shook her head sadly. "So that's all it was then. You wanted to satisfy your curiosity"
"That, and I just wanted to kiss you. In fact…"he added thoughtfully, "I want to kiss you again"
Lisa Cuddy felt her knees buckle for the second time in the last five minutes as another kiss exploded between them.

A/N: tbc? Us musicians all like to think that everyone around us is a musician. So for the non-musicians, a lot of strings players will use the back of their hands/wrists/arms to practice if they don't have their instrument with them. And we get calluses on our left fingertips from pressing on the strings. The bruises happen if you practice a lot, but only on violin and viola, cause you put them under your jaw. Oh, if anyone gets the allusion to a musical in the title, ill write you a story, any ship you want, no matter how distasteful I find it. Ill post the answer in my last chapter, I guess…..so please r&r and I'll keep writing!
