Woah, way too much caffeine
On with the story!
Love Me- Chapter One
"Breakfast?" asked Wilson.
"Sure." responded House. He seemed in a daze, distant. This was new for House, and, quite frankly, it scared Wilson. House was never like this. He was always that snarky, quick-witted bastard that he couldn't help being friends with.
House looked around the lobby before opening the door, particularly looking in the clinic. Wilson raised an eyebrow, and House ignored him. They got into Wilson's car and drove to the nearest iHop. Wilson cracked a joke to try and cheer House up (If girls with big boobs work at Hooters, where do girls with one leg work? iHop.) (a/n: sorry if it offends anybody out there). They walked inside and plopped down in a booth.
"Ok, spill." said Wilson, putting his hands firmly on the table.
House looked up at him, his gorgeous blue eyes looking distant.
"What's going on? Before you went to Cuddy's you were fi-" His jaw dropped. "What happened at Cuddy's?"
"Nothing." said House, quietly. The waitress came (two legs intact) and brought them water and took their order.
"House." pleaded Wilson. "House, look at me. What happened?"
"I already told you nothing. Can you drop it? Geez, you're more like Cameron everyday."
"Fine. Whatever, House. You'll have to deal with it eventually. And you know I'll find out what happened."
House nodded. They sat in silence for a few minutes.
"She was always at my games." he said, slowly. Wilson looked up.
"Huh?"
"My lacrosse games in college. She always came. I don't even remember noticing her at the time. I can see her now though. Sitting in the bleachers, scarf and hat intact, cup of steaming coffee in her hands. Always had some friend with her. Never came alone."
Wilson sat in silence, not knowing what to say.
"I'm getting old, Jimmy. I…I'd never admit it, but…I just…"
"I know, House. I know." Wilson had never seen this in House. Now he was even more curious as to what the heck happened earlier.
"It's weird. I would've never realized it. I can know every medical fact there is. And I can't see that I'm in love with the woman I've known since college. I just can't. It hurts. And my God Jimmy, it hurt seeing her with that creep. It just hurt. I don't know how people survive that. And now she had a full night of hot, steamy-" he was cut off abruptly when the waitress brought their food.
Wilson was in a state of utter shock and disbelief. This wasn't the Greg House he knew. The Greg House he knew was snarky, egotistical, quick-witted, and heartless. This Greg House was actually, unbelievably, lovesick. It was crazy. In all the years he'd known him, he'd only been like this SOMEWHAT when the whole Stacy fiasco occurred.
As if on cue, House said, "I never felt like this with Stacy. I guess I never really loved her."
Wilson's jaw dropped. This was pandemonium. He pinched his leg to make sure he wasn't dreaming. He had to do something. He couldn't watch House just be all sad like this. It just wasn't natural. Not to mention it was ripping him apart inside.
"No more. No more being sad. Come on, we're going. You need to do something." He threw some bills down on the table and they walked to the car.
"Are you high?" asked House, giving him skeptical looks.
"Possibly. We are going to Cuddy's right now, and you are going to tell her everything that you just told me."
"No." said House, looking up. "No. No. I can't."
"Yes. You have to."
"No, I can't. Her date slept over. She told me herself. We're not going there." House seemed alarmed.
"Then lets at least drive by there. We'll see if he's still there."
They were silent as Wilson drove through the slush. They pulled up in front of Cuddy's house, and saw no unfamiliar cars.
"See, told you. Now go. Tell her everything you just told me."
"They had to have taken her car. There's no way he's gone already." House looked up at the house, with a faraway look in his eyes.
"House, Greg, listen. You can't hide from this. You need to do this. The woman you love is waiting for you in that house. Go for it. Be strong. Sweep her off her feet." said Wilson, giving him a smile.
"Sure thing, Dr. Phil." said House, giving a small smile. He got out of the car and stood up slowly. He looked at the house, and turned back to the car.
"Come on House, don't turn back. GO." said Wilson, pointing to the house.
"I need to make a quick stop first. It's important." Wilson gave him a skeptical look. "I promise I'll go. Just drive."
As Wilson drove with the directions from House, House made a phone call. "I'm gonna need a dozen roses. Can I pick them up in 10 minutes? I'll pay you whatever if you have it done. Bye."
"Turn left here." said House, looking out the window.
"You're getting her flowers. This is a new side of Greg House that I've never seen before."
"Yeah, yeah. Park here." He got out and came back a few minutes later carrying a bouquet of beautiful red roses. "Let's go."
As they drove, Wilson noticed the cane-tapping. "You're nervous." he said.
"Look at you, like a beaming parent. Ok, I'm going in." He opened the door and stepped out of the car.
"And House?" said Wilson, leaning over in his seat.
"Yes, Boy Wonder?"
"Good luck."
"You make me sick." With that, he shut the door, and walked up the front path of the house.
He saw a figure move in the window, so he looked in. He saw Cuddy in pajamas, sitting on her couch, looking through some kind of book. He smiled at how relaxed she looked, took a deep breath, and rang the bell.
gotcha in suspense!!!! haha
I know this was really out of character for House, but I don't know, it kinda hard, and I had some trouble fitting him. any tips for me?
I'll probably type the next chapter tonight and I'll post it WHEN I GET FIVE REVIEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
review please!!!!
