Ok guys, this is a House/Cameron fanfic and my very first try at writing one, so please be gentle with me, but all suggestions and comments are welcome.
You Can't Always Get What You Want (House/Cameron)
Chapter 1
It was late; House was sitting at his piano in his jeans and t-shirt, nursing his scotch and wracking his brain, trying to diagnose the latest case that was driving him crazy. But if truth be told that is not all he was thinking about. His mind drifted to Allison as it always did. He called her Cameron at work, but privately he always thought of her as Allison.
The doorbell rang, shaking him out of his reverie. "Who the fuck could that be at this hour?" he said to himself. He wasn't even going to bother answering, but it rang again and he thought he heard a faint female voice call his name. Was it Allison? Probably not, but his curiosity got the better of him. He hadn't called for a hooker, so he hoped it was her. He hobbled over to the door, looked through the peephole, sure enough, it was!
Cameron was on the other side of House's apartment door thinking this was a mistake. "Dear Lord, why am I here doing this?" She had finally gotten up the courage to tell House how she really felt about him. How she felt about him since the day he hired her. She tried to dismiss these feelings, but they hadn't gone away, in fact, they had just gotten stronger over time. She dated others, even had the tryst with Chase, but nothing helped! Standing here now, waiting for an answer at House's door, her courage was waning.
She turned to leave, but House yanked open the door. Not wanting to show his enthusiasm, he lied and said gruffly, "What are you doing here at this hour, don't you know I was in bed?"
"That's what I was hoping!" thought Allison, but of course she didn't say it. "I couldn't sleep, I was too worried." "You're always too worried" House grumped. "Is that what you woke me up for?"
"Well, can I come in?" "It's cold out here."
"Since you woke me the fck up, you may as well." Allison took no offence at his words, House was never known for his politeness. She would never understand why she was attracted to him, it was a mystery to her.
Still, she found herself entering his living room.
