SUMMARY: House's nice evening out on Valentine's Day gets upset by a stranger
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"As my Bible-thumpin' Gramma used to say..." the broad-shouldered blue-eyed man started, but was cut off by a fed-up stately black-headed woman.
"Cam, Darling, I love you to death, but you're so full of shit. You're forgetting I talk to Mom weekly." he stopped in shock at her betrayal, mouth open. Turning to their friends Vala elaborated "His Gramma was actually from England and was a suffragette. She never left England, never lived in any of the southern states and definitely didn't believe in god. Or Goa'uld, or whatever..." turning to Cam she demanded "Stop playing your dumb hick routine and start taking credits for your little wisdoms, not shoving them off on your dead grandmother. As if anyone still believes that you're just a dumb redneck."
Looking around, Vala received nods of agreement. He wouldn't have gotten this far up by being dumb. Jack grimaced when his wife sent him a pointed look, knowing exactly what Kerry meant. But it was just so convenient to act as if he didn't understand when one of the slimy politicians bothered him.
Then a grimace came over Vala's face and she excused herself, running a soothing hand down her belly "Sorry, gotta go visit the ladies' room." She stood up and headed for the toilet area of the bar&grill.
Cam, still flustered, called after her "So, you're saying I've been lying to our friends for years, woman!?"
Vala stopped, looked over her shoulder, and shot back "Everybody lies," silencing him.
A scruffy man, sitting nearby and holding a cane, was not silenced however. Quite the contrary.
"She stole my line!" he yelled, in disbelief, that was quickly turning into anger. Turning to the gorgeous young brunette, sitting next to him and using a blanket to give her privacy while she breastfed their infant, he demanded "Can you believe it, she stole my line. Quick, call a lawyer!"
Cam replied annoyed "I'm not calling Stacy just because you think a stranger who's never seen you before has stolen your line."
That left House pouting and he turned to a toddler sitting in a high-chair, who grinned in return "Your Mommy is mean."
Coincidentally he straightened up and looked over his shoulder, where he met equally pale blue eyes. In both men's minds flashed the same thought.
Sometimes it's better a subordinate stays a subordinate and doesn't become a lover, much less a wife.
Still, that didn't mean they didn't love their wives.
They just occasionally wanted a refund...
