Hey! All a big thank you for the reviews! It's so encouraging to know you guys like it! This chapter is more background information but don't worry, I think I'll have a chapter 3 by monday (GMT 1 XD)
A week earlier
"Chase, could we switch on call shifts? I've got some plans tonight."
"Sure Allis.."
"Do we have a date Dr. Cameron?" House entered the diagnostics room, ready to go.
"Actually, yeah, but that's none of your business".
"Oooh, so will you be late tomorrow or in extra early to share the cheesy details with us?"
"That's for me to know and for you to find out!" She answered, then got up and left the room, leaving 3 speechless men behind.

That evening at her apartment around, 19.45
An expected knock announced an expected visitor.
"Hey there, come in!"
"Wow, if I'd know you would look so amazing, I'd invited you earlier."
She blushed at that comment. "Take a seat, I'll be a minute." He entered the room and went to the couch.
While she went to the bathroom, her pager went off. "Don't tell me you'll have to go again. I'm not sure I can take a second cancelling, certainly not after having seen you in that sexy dress!"
"Don't worry, I switched shifts with Chase. The nurses probably mixed up. I'll just call Chase and transfer the call."
"You do that."
When she was done in the bathroom, she got back to the living room and heard House's voice leaving a message on her voicemail. "You better be there when I arrive Dr. Cameron, neglecting your page can have a drastic …"
"House, what do you want?"
"Are you deaf, or were you too busy with dick315? The patient seized, you on call so you go and check on her."
"House! I changed shifts with Chase, so stop this. I'll call Chase and he'll check on her. Bye House!"
"That you cranky boss?"
"Yeah," she said. "Let's go, I'm starving".

21.00, at the restaurant
"Dr. Cameron?" the waitress asked.
"Yes, can I help you?"
"There's a colleague of yours who called and said you urgently need to go to the hospital."
"What was his name?"
"Wombat."
"WHAT? The guy can just not stop chasing you! You're in the middle of a date. The third date to be precise. And he just can't stop ruin it, can he?"
"I'm sorry David, really, I .."
"Don't, maybe we're better off. Not like it would've lasted anyways, you're such a workaholic. I hope he pleases you enough with his snarky remarks for you to accept not to have a LIFE!"
At that remark, he left. He just left her alone there, all flustered by his words, almost crying so much she was hurt.

Around 23.00, at PPTH
"You bastard"
"Cameron?"
"What the hell were you thinking?"
Their eyes locked.
"Cameron, have you been drinking?"
She didn't respond.
"Allison?"
At the sound of her name coming out of his mouth. His voice finally calling her but her first name. How did he dare calling her Allison when she just hated him?
"Look what you've done! Look at your innocent Allison! Look at how you make her miserable", she turned around in his office. So miserable that she just drunk until she could stop crying!"
"I, what do you …," he stuttered.
"I'm really trying to be happy here. So stop ruining everything, stop ruining me."
With these words, she left without leaving him any chance to answer. She got back to the cab that brought her to the hospital and got home.
She didn't even bother to get her clothes off. She just got on her bed and cried herself to sleep.
