Okay, so this is my shot at getting inside Cuddy's mind. Gosh, I never thought doing Chase and Cuddy would be so hard. And Wilson and Foreman will be even tougher I think. So tell me how I am doing. Love as always, BlckBlt2.
I have known House longer than anyone else at this hospital. We go back to our college and Med-School years. I would love to say I understand what makes the man tick, but I can't. I have only begun to scratch the surface.
I know he loved Stacy, anyone who has been around House when she has been around could see that. And I think in some twisted way he may love me. Not in a romantic, lets go on a date way, but in a deep down even though I make your life a living hell at times, I still care kind of way. And now there is Cameron. His feelings for her may be more complicated than his feelings for either Stacy or me.
Cameron is one of his staff, so I think in some way he feels she may be off limits because of that. And of course there is the age difference. What, maybe 12 or so years? That's a lot, but not impossible to work out. Besides, Cameron isn't exactly a gold-digger. And of course there is the fact that Cameron has admits her feelings, and I think that scares the hell out of him. House has never been much for feelings, at least not the warm and fuzzy kind. The spiteful, pissed off kind he does quite well.
I know he cares for Cameron. I am not sure if it his love yet, but I suspect it is. The way he can't make eye contact with her and the fact that he rarely unloads his clinic duty on her. He usually gives it to Chase or Foreman. But he presses her harder than he presses the other two combined; he wants her to be a better doctor by the time her fellowship is up. And he has been successful so far. She can handle the tough situations now. He is proud of her and her accomplishments; I can see it, though he'd never admit it.
