A few spoilers for season 3 :)
House had been avoiding Cuddy for the last week and she had been trying to hunt him down and ensure that he went to the charity ball that had been organized for this weekend. She had to make the most of her perjury after all, he did owe her!
Cuddy walked up to House and Wilson who were talking in the cafeteria. "Hey Lisa, I finally decided what I'm going to go as to the masquerade ball on Friday." Wilson said smiling.
"Ugh, I'd thankfully almost forgotten about that unfortunate affair." House said giving Cuddy an evil look.
"House, don't be such a downer, you know you have to go, you owe me"
"I'm sure I could find a much better way to pay off that debt" he winked suggestively at her, while Wilson rolled his eyes.
"Come on House it's going to be fun, 'dress up' which we all know you'll love, and lots of booze…how can you resist." He said walking off to see his next patient.
Cuddy just looked at him with a raised eyebrow, daring him to say something else. He just stared down at the top she was wearing his eyes running over the creamy expanse of her breasts.
"House, stop staring." She was fighting the urge not to smile, and focusing on giving him an annoyed look.
He rolled his eyes at her "Come on 'Doctor Cuddy' you love it" he gave her that evil little glare he gets when he knows he is right. And she just glared at him trying to prove how not interested in him she really was.
"You sound awfully cocky for someone who walks around with the aid of a cane!" she had nothing else to do but to challenge him to keep him at bay.
"You sound awfully confident for someone with such a huge ass" he raised an eyebrow at her, and moved in closer towards her.
She stood up a little straighter, with a grin on her face, satisfied that she could win this round. "House, remember you have to be at the ball…and you have to look good. I get to choose what you wear."
"Okay, you can choose what I wear, if I can choose what you wear?" He was notably closer and she remembered they were still in the clinic area, so she moved back a little, looking around to make sure nobody was watching.
"Fine. I'll meet you at lunchtime to go to a costume shop to try some things on." She walked off with a smile on her face, swinging her hips as she headed into her office.
"House, please will you try something on, really, how about a fireman, or even a pirate?"
House rolled his eyes as his response.
"Hey, Cuddy….I found one….check this out"
Cuddy walked over and saw what he was looking at.
"God? You want to go as God, are you kidding me?" she couldn't believe this, talk about cocky.
"You used to scream that out loud when we were…"
Cuddy just about jumped on him to put her hand over his mouth to stop what he was about to say. "House if you want to survive the day, I would not continue that conversation any further."
She kept looking, trying to distract herself from what he just brought up; of course he would bring that up, even though it was so long ago. She had not forgotten about it, and she knew he hadn't, but he was just that good. Her thoughts had been distracted as she looked at a grim reaper costume. She thought it was so him.
"How about this?" she asked holding it up.
"Hmmm, I suppose I could get into that. After all, I am almighty and powerful, and evil…well not as evil as you, she-devil…but still evil." He smirked at her; at least it was a cool costume, if he had to go.
He agreed with her on this because he wanted the power to get her into something sexy and tiny. Possibly extremely tight made of lycra or leather….
"So 'Doctor Cuddy"…how about you, I like this sexy playmate bunny outfit….hot" he licks his lips to emphasize his point.
"You have got to be kidding yourself. There is no way I would wear something like that to a ball." She kept looking through medieval dresses and tiny French maid uniforms, while House was almost drooling thinking about her in some of them.
He knew he had to try and get her into one of them, even if she just tried it on, because Lisa Cuddy would definitely try the costume on to ensure she looked fantastic in it before she bought it.
"Cuddy if you try this on, I will do double clinic hours for a week" he was dead serious, pointing at a catholic school girl outfit.
Cuddy raised an eyebrow at him and smirking, "You want me to try on that outfit…I couldn't possibly go to the ball wearing that." She said slowly, walking seductively towards him. She just enjoyed playing with him; she wasn't interested, she was sure she wasn't. But it was always fun to watch him squirm, and she didn't receive much attention from men, most of them were intimidated by her.
"I never said you had to wear it to the ball, just try it on" he pulled it off the rack and handed it to her smiling.
"For double clinic hours?" She asked him, not sure that he would actually do them.
"Yeah and I guarantee that you won't even have to chase me to do them." He almost pleaded with her.
"Okay" She walked over to the change rooms and walked into a cubicle. She shuffled around for a few minutes getting ready. Ensuring that her legs looked good and her breasts were pushed up rather high. She had dark black eyeliner and mascara on today and her eyes looked great as did the rest of her.
She gave herself a once over thinking about how crazy she was for doing this, he will go on about it for ages, but still the look on his face would be priceless and a little ego boost for her. God I must be lonely
She opened the curtain and House looked curiously at her and his mouth dropped open. She did not look like Cuddy that was for sure. She looked like…a high end call girl, and it was hot. He was trying to think unsexy thoughts, but it was difficult, her skirt was tartan and it was so short he thought he could almost see her garters. The top was white and super tight, and he automatically thought about a wet tee-shirt competition.
Damn this is bad, I know I wanted this in the beginning, but now I'm not sure this was such a good idea. Nobody's boss has the right to look that hot, thank god she won't be going out in that…I don't want people seeing her in that…
"House…What do you think?" she had the biggest grin, he had been fantasizing for too long, and she knew it.
"Um…I…You" He had nothing…but knew he should think of something quick…
"Wow, Gregory House lost for words, I bet that's never happened before" she had her hands on her hips. She didn't realize how that small gesture made her look even better to him. He was starting to react to her physically and realized he needed her to go back to regular Cuddy.
"Okay, well if you're done indulging my every whim, maybe we should pick something you can actually wear in public"
She realized when he said that, that he didn't want anyone else to see her wearing the outfit, which pleased her immensely. She liked this little jealous streak in him; obviously he wanted her just for himself.
Cuddy decided she did need to find something suitable for the ball and went to have a look, but because she didn't want to get changed into her normal clothes and then try on the next outfit again, she went out in what she was wearing.
House was focused on the costumes on the shelf but as much as possible he stole a glance in her direction. It's impossible to believe that she can look that hot in a schoolgirl outfit.
After much looking and deciding she ended up going for a Moulin Rouge Can Can dress, which was mostly black with bits of red silk on the corset and black fishnet stockings.
Cuddy tried it on and was happy with the way she looked so decided to take that one, only she didn't want House to see her in it, because she wanted to keep it as a surprise for the night. At least this dress was a little long at the back even if it was super short at the front. She had never worn a 'can can' dress before and she thought she looked pretty good in it. The dress came with a nice red feather to put in her hair to look the part.
Yo Yo…hope you enjoyed so far… I'm sorry I keep thinking of new stories and forgetting my old ones, I am going to update poker night and one of these nights, very soon…possibly even today or tomorrow…if I can write fast enough…
