Hey guys!
Thank you so much for all your kind reviews. I am very happy about each of them. :-)
Right now I am trying to write a more chapter fanfic.
I would have loved to add more chapters to this story but when I wrote it a few weeks ago, I thought that I wasn't good enough yet to write a more chapter fanfic in English. But yesterday I decided to just try it.
Anyway: This one is still a two-shot :)
Thanks again to Sheis1963 who proof read this chapter as well :-)
Enjoy reading chapter two!
2. Chapter
Daniel was wonderful. He looked good, very good. He was extremely courteous and funny. Short: He was the man every women dreams of.
And even though she really liked Daniel she couldn't stop thinking about House.
He just didn't seem to want to leave her mind alone.
"Lisa?"
"Hm?" Cuddy tore herself away from her thoughts.
"Are you okay?" Daniel reached for her hand.
Cuddy smiled. "Everything is alright… I am just a little bit stressed. There is a lot to do in the hospital and it's not easy for me to get away from it all." It was just half a lie. Her schedule was really full but that was nothing she wasn't used to, nothing that bothered her.
"I can understand. It is also hard for me to push aside my work." His eyes were fixed on her beautiful face. "That is probably a reason why non of mine relationships lasted longer than a year. None of the women I was with understood that I love my work and that it is necessary to take a case home with me every now and then."
"It was similar with my relationships. The ego of all my ex partners couldn't handle the fact that I'm the boss at a hospital and that I earn a few more dollars than they do."
"Those men were idiots."
"I'm not sure if they were idiots, I guess they just weren't the right ones for me."
"And how does the man that wins over your heart has to be?"
Cuddy didn't know why but the question was kinda uncomfortable for her as well as his hand holding hers.
She pulled her hand away from his and tried to answer his question: "He has to be himself… He should be able to make me laugh. He should challenge me and at the same time he should have the ability to calm me down. I want a man who talks with me for hours about all kind of matters of no particular topic just because we enjoy talking to each other…" Cuddy stopped talking and lowered her eyes to her hands.
Suddenly she was aware of the fact that the "someone" she was talking about wasn't just a "someone".
He had a face.
And not just "someone's" face.
The "someone" had House' face.
All of a sudden she asked herself why had she even come here to meet this guy. Why wasn't she sitting on House' couch watching a movie with him and laughing her ass of because something he had said?
Instead she was sitting here with another man - who actually wasn't her type at all. She thought she wanted a friendly, understanding man but these characteristics were boring like hell. She needed someone who argued with her and who challenged her.
"Daniel…" Now she looked up into his eyes. "I think I made a mistake."
"What do you mean?" He seemed a bit confused.
"Fridays I am usually at my friend's place…. I drive over to him, we eat some junk food or Chinese takeout and we watch films together… I love those evenings with him. We have so much fun and I am able to relax and to forget the hospital and everything else I have to worry about."
"You want to tell me that he is able to calm you down and I am not, right?", Daniel stated soberly.
Cuddy nodded.
"That's a pity… I really like you." He forced out a small smile.
"I am sorry."
Cuddy wanted to pay for their half eaten dinner but Daniel wouldn't let her. He was a real gentleman.
She had apologized again, said goodbye and left the restaurant.
It was not that cold outside but her body soon was covered with goose bumps . She was on her way to her car that was parked in a parking lot opposite to the restaurant, when she suddenly caught sight of HIM.
He was abutting against the wall of the building next to the restaurant. He looked tired.
When he finally recognized her he acted out of character and smiled.
It was just a very small smile. Most of the people wouldn't even have recognized it but Cuddy did and it made her heart beat faster.
Slowly he stepped closer. Now Cuddy started smiling too. "What are you doing here?" she wanted to know.
"Good question. But an even better question is: "What are YOU doing here? Aren't you supposed to hold hands with the online moron? Or did you finally notice that he is a jackass?"
"He is not a jackass… He is actually the exact opposite of a jackass. He is charming, courteous and handsome."
"Then why are you here instead of making out with him when he really is that charming and handsome."
"And courteous." Cuddy added just to annoy House.
"Whatever… Tell me, why are you already leaving the restaurant?"
"Because he wasn't the right guy for me."
They didn't even notice how close they were standing in front of each other.
"And why are YOU here, House?", she asked again. This time her voice was a lot gentler and calmer.
He didn't look her in the eyes when he said: "I wanted to ruin your date."
"That's really nice of you." She was sarcastic.
"Yeah… Isn't it?"
"And why did you want to ruin my date?"
He didn't answer. He had a question of his own that he wanted to have an answer to: "Why did you really dump him?"
"House…"
"I just told you why I'm here. It is only fair if you answer my question now."
"OK…"
"So why did you dump him?"
"I already told you: He wasn't the right one for me."
"Haven't you always wanted to have a nice, charming, handsome and courteous husband?"
"I did." She nodded. "But then I noticed that those men are boring."
"Now tell me, why did you want to ruin my date?", Cuddy demanded to know.
"Because I already knew that he is indeed a boring idiot. I just wanted to save you from being bored to death."
"I want the real reason, House." She gave him a light slap on his chest.
"It's Friday! Our film-Friday. Our eat-unhealthy Friday!"
"Are you jealous?" On Cuddy's lips was a smug grin.
"Nope. I just wanted to point out that your supertanker belongs on my couch Friday nights and not into an overpriced restaurant where this stupid moron can grope it."
"You are jealous! " She poked him on the chest. "But you don't have to worry. He didn't grope my ass. He didn't even check out my décolleté. He is a gentleman."
"And an idiot. I would never ever, ever blow the chance to check out your funbags."
"I know" She stepped a little bit closer to him.
"And I would never not grip your ass when I had the chance to do it." To proof his statement he made a step closer to her as well and placed his hand on Cuddy's bottom.
Cuddy didn't shuck his hand off. She didn't even tell him to keep his fingers to himself. All she did was to laying her arm around his neck and starting to caress him there with her fingers.
Before she even knew what she was doing her head was already buried in his chest.
She loved his smell. His unique male sent was just infatuating.
She was so glad that he'd come. It meant a lot to her.
"Can we go home?", she then whispered. Her mouth was just a few inches away from his ear. "My super tanker misses your couch already."
"My couch misses your super taker too."
"Really?"
"Who wouldn't miss such a gigantic ass?"
"Does that mean you missed it too?"
"Not as much as I missed this."
"This?" Cuddy didn't know what he was talking about.
"Our weird conversations."
And once again, he had made Cuddy smile. "I missed our weird conversations too. Daniel is a fan of boring small talk."
House's hand moved from her ass to her smaller back while her hand was still caressing his neck.
An old couple was already looking at them indignantly but neither House nor Cuddy could care less about that.
"Do you think that old witch over there is going to faint if I kiss you now." House pointed at the old lady.
"Let's find it out", was Cuddy's immediate answer.
House grinned and bent down a bit until his lips were barley touching hers.
"I think the witch just entered the restaurant." Cuddy whispered.
"And?"
"We won't see her reaction anymore."
"I don't care." House said before he softly captured her lips.
Without hesitation she closed her eyes and kissed him back. She was feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. It felt wonderful. His kiss was wonderful. Wonderful and breathtaking.
When they broke apart from each other they had a smile on their lips and they were both breathing heavily.
Cuddy's hand caressed his cheek. "Thanks for coming and trying to ruin my date even though I have already managed to do that myself."
"You are very welcome. For you I'd do that at all times." He said, bended down a little and kissed her once more.
