Chapter 2
At lunch Wilson tryes to make House talk about what was happening.
"So..you're not gonna tell me anything, are you?"
"mhh..maybe I've changed" said House who was at that moment more interested in his lunch than what was saying his friend.
"When? During the night? You don't even believe that people can change. I don't buy it, House."
"Don't mind..oh my..don't turn, don't move!"
"What?..why?"
"She devil's coming"
"House.." there she was..again!
"..can't get enough of me, can you?"
"Rumor has it you are happy today."
"Not happy, and even if I was it wouldn't be my fault." At that answer Wilson furrowed his brows.
"Anyway you have to cover Dr Henderson's hours in the clinic today."
"Who says that?"
"mmh I don't know..maybe your boss?"
"..only 11 hours Cuddy"
"Don't know what you're talking about." Wilson was almost sure that House's behavior had something to do with Cuddy.
Accomplished her mission she left the cafeteria.
"..so evil and so.."
"House." This time was thirteen.
"ooh! Now what? I can't even finish my lunch in peace."
"The result came back positive."
"So treat her and let me finish my lunch."
"..okay."
Thirteen left and Wilson was about to start talking again about Cuddy, House could see that coming.
"You know Wilson? See you later."
"House..?"
3 hours later, in her office she was doing some paperwork when someone barged in, without even bothering to knock first, and she immediately knew it was him.
"What a day mhh? Without troubles.."
"8 hours left House"
"..the girls look so happy today."
"Don't you have clinic hours..like now?"
He was about to say something but.."Another word and you'll cover also Simon's hours."
He pretended to pout and headed to the clinic.
"..are you high?"
"oh for God's sake!"
Cameron was observing him "you almost look...I'd say happy if it wasn't you and..you never do clinic duty.."
"yeah I just won the lottery, happy?"
Cameron rolled her eyes and, seeing that talking to him was a waste of time because he wouldn't say anything about his feelings, she left.
Later, in his office..Cuddy stood at the door.
"Where were you after lunch?"
"Your Majesty! I was in your castle as you demanded."
"nonono, before being in my office, you had a whole 3 hours or so.."
"My queen I'm starting to get worried. You imaging things now?"
"I talked to Wilson and.."
"..and he said I wasn't with him, doesn't mean I wasn't in the hospital."
"..ooh but who said you weren't in the hospital?"Cuddy approached him with a grin on her face.
"You..evil witch."
"Wasn't queen?" and after looking at him in the eyes for some seconds she left..again!
He won a battle, she forgot to get her answer, but not the war.
