3. A Little suspicion

Allison Cameron woke up next to a peacefully sleeping Remy Hadley. It took her a minute to process and remember what happened last night; she had dinner with the brunette, talked a little and yes, she broke down a little.

"Remy." Allison said softly. When she didn't get any response from the brunette, she snuggled herself closer to the other doctor and trailed her fingers along Remy's jaw line. So strong yet so tender.

The action woke the younger doctor up; she slowly opened her eyes and was greeted by a smile on Allison's face.

"Hey."

"Morning." Remy was stunned by the beauty in front of her eyes; the sun gently caressed Allison's blonde hair and Remy could feel something deep inside her heart awaken.

"We should go to work." Allison sat herself up, she shook the brunette's shoulder gently.

"You know, I have only got ER duty today. If the head of ER let me, I can stay in bed all day until we get a new case."Remy muffled, she turned herself so that she was lying on her stomach and buried her face in the pillows.

"I doubt the head of ER will have mercy on anyone when she doesn't have any company to go to work with." Allison replied playfully.

"She is mean." Remy complained, still refusing to get out of bed.

"I know. You mind if I have a quick shower?"

"Go ahead. Unlike her, I am all about being nice."

The two doctors were ready and Remy suggested they'd go and get breakfast in a nearby café but Allison insisted on going to work early.

"Just in case House is on time for once." She explained.

Remy agreed. She didn't want any of her co-workers to find out about Allison's return for a selfish reason; she wanted to spend more time with the blonde. It felt so natural to her to come to work with Allison, linking arms with each other and joking about random stuff they saw on the way to the hospital.

"Guess I will see you around." Remy said, reluctantly letting go of Allison's arm before she turned around and walked to the elevator.

"See you Remy." There was a bright smile on Allison's face and she knew she was going to carry that grin on her face all day.

"You are early!" House exclaimed when he saw Remy entering the room. To Remy, it was a little surprise to see House at this early hour.

"You ARE early!" The brunette shot back. The male doctor took his time to eye Remy down, she was not wearing the same clothes as yesterday, no dark circles under her eyes, basically nothing that indicated she had had a party night.

"You are boring." House said. "He threw his bouncy ball at the brunette who was making herself some coffee.

"House!"

"You didn't respond when I accused you of being boring, that makes you even more boring."

"You didn't respond when I said you are early either." Remy took a sip of her coffee and raised a sceptical eyebrow; these days seeing House in his office early was definitely stranger than Remy not partying all night.

"Wilson and his soon-to-be-ex-again wife were having sex so loudly I couldn't sleep."

"It's not about the sleep. You don't want to stay in the house knowing that Wilson's enjoying himself while you're all miserable and lonely." Remy could almost see the jealousy behind House's well-disguised face.

"Enjoyed? Have you seen Sam naked?" House stood up and limped towards the glass table Remy was sitting by, all the time wearing his classic smirk.

"Whatever you say." Remy took another gulp of her coffee, almost finishing the entire cup.

"Why are you here early? No parties?" I hate to know that my favourite bisexual is out of the game." He walked closed, faking a concerned look on his face. Remy knew him long enough to know that this was House's way to deflect from his own problems.

Remy was about to give a clever comeback when the rest of the team entered the room. First was Taub, looking tired; followed by Chase who was still engaged in a conversation with Foreman.

"Morning kids. You are all late." House turned around and said. Before Taub could take a step closer, House used his cane to stop them all.

"No patient. Taub, go to the ER to find us a case, you two," He gestured Chase and Foreman, "continue whatever conversation you were having and then tell daddy what celibacy had done to you."

"Can I go to the ER instead?" Remy said, afraid that Taub would see Allison. "I just feel like saving lives today."

House turned back and looked at Remy, not entirely convinced by the innocent reason she just gave. "As much as I would love to see how Taub and his little mistress get it on, I can't reject my little on time bisexual." He said, ignoring the eye roll from both doctors and used his cane to move the team out of the doorway. "Your wish is granted." He even bowed.

Remy nodded and exited the diagnostic office promptly, barely caught the last thing House said before the glass door slammed shut. "You will have to keep it in your pants today."

Of course it's some weird way to torture Taub. Remy thought to herself. Great, with House's mind majorly on Wilson/Sam's relationship and Taub's soon-to-blossom affair, Cameron's secret should be safe a while longer.

Remy sighed when she got given a case in less than half an hour after she arrived at the ER. She secretly hoped that she could spend the entire day in the ER and maybe bump into Allison but now this was not going to happen.

Patient with abnormal pain and with an open marriage. Exactly what I wished for. Remy released a long breath and shook her head slightly.

For the next few days the diagnostic team was buried in work, a patient with an open marriage inevitably brought House's attention to Taub. After getting the samples she and Chase collected to the lab, she went to the locker room to get changed, all the time thinking about the conversation she had with Chase in the patient's home.

"I was jealous of House and Cameron never touched him." Chase said, bending to reach for the lower compartment of a drawer.

"Not counting the emotional fondling." She replied.

Somehow she could imagine that feeling. She stopped thinking about it in case it would lead her to start thinking about something else.

It has been another week since they finished off the last case. The team just spent their time wandering round the hospital. For some unknown reason Chase had been with Foreman all week long in the clinic; Remy was worried at first when she ran out of decent reasons to stop Taub from going to the ER but luckily, not to Rachel though, Taub devoted his time flirting with one of the blonde doctors, enough for him not to notice the presence of Allison Cameron.

"You two, go to the clinic and be me." No surprise, House pointed at Chase and Foreman. "Dr. Casanova, save the world, one affair at a time."

"Thirty one! Which nurse are you doing? Oh wait, nurses, plural is more likely." House smirked and pointed at Remy with his cane.

Everyone in the room turned to look at her; even Chase and Foreman, who were heading out, stopped dead in their tracks.

"None of them!" Remy's tone sounded less calm than she intended to.

"Interesting." House thought a second and smirked. "Defending yourself like that is not your usual style. Are you offended by the idea of banging nurses because you are banging doctors?"

"Bye House. I have the entire ER to do." Remy mentally cursed herself for losing her calm for a moment; a moment was all it needed for House to raise suspicions. She let out a slow breath and headed to Allison's office. She might have blown it.

"How long are you going to keep this up?" Remy quickly shut the door behind her and closed the blinds.

"Geez Remy, you scared the shit out of me." Allison, who was doing paperwork, jumped a little when younger doctor entered her room unannounced. "What are you talking about?" She signed another chart and put it on top of a pile of folders on her left.

"House starts to suspect things."

"He always does."

"He thinks I am sleeping with the ER nurses."

"NURSES?"

"Yes, not one nurse but multiple nurses."

"So… Are you sleeping with my nurses?" Allison didn't know what came over her when she said that; Remy was doing her a favour by not telling House and she was supposed to be thankful.

"Dr. Cameron. I thought you had my back here!" Remy acted angry. Even though she knew it was impossible to be mad at the blonde doctor when she had this teasing expression on her face which Remy found adorable.

"I am sorry. House's a jerk." Allison finished off the last chart on her desk and stood up. She slowly walked towards Remy, took her hands out from her lab pocket and held them tight.

"I am sorry; I didn't mean to make your life any harder than it already is." Allison said, meaning every word spoken.

Allison Cameron was standing close, dangerously close. Remy took a deep breath; trying to calm herself down but the sudden intake of the blonde's natural scent did the exact opposite. She swallowed hard, nearly forgot the reason she came by. "It's…okay." Remy forced a smile on her face.

The head of ER loosened her grip when she saw the smile back on her counterpart's face; she stepped back a little when her pager disturbed the peaceful moment they shared.

"Crap, another three car pile-up." She sighed and looked at Remy. "Want to help?"

"Of course." Remy replied, straightening her lab coat and turning around to open the door. "By the way, want to grab dinner together…later on?" She shifted her gaze, not daring to look Allison in the eyes.

"Better food than last time?" Allison grinned; enjoyed to see the other side of the mysterious doctor.

"Promise."

"Dinner it is. I am off at six, how about you?"

"Same here. I will see you then. Now let's go and stitch some people up." Neither of them could hide the excitement bubbling down in their belly.
