CH. 4

Morning came bright and early when Sarlina heard the doorbell ring insistently, she allowed out a soft groan as she hid her head under her pillow until she heard who ever it was waking her up that early in the morning now banging on the door.

"Oh sodding hell!"

She growled, as she quickly shot up from her bed and groggily walked out of her room. She assumed that Cuddy was either at work or had a hot date last night since she wasn't answering the door, so Sarlina slowly walked down the stairs and strode towards the now pounding door.

As soon as she was in front of the door, she stood up on her tiptoes and looked through the peep hole to see House standing there... Sarlina allowed out an irritated sigh and swung the door open before he could knock again.

"Do you know what time it is?"

She asked irritably, House then smirked at her. "Still a ray of sunshine in the morning I see. Glad things never changed." Sarlina then glared at him. "I don't recall you ever being a morning person what happened? Vicoden worn off or something?" House's smirk then grew even wider.

"Nah just wanted to make sure you got to work on time."

Sarlina then arched her brow at him.

"That's so very uncharacteristic of you."

House shrugged not being able to help himself stare at her in her tight little white tank top and pink flannel pajama pants. "You're right I lied, I was more interested in you making me breakfast." Sarlina then glared at him.

"You bloody came at 5am in the morning for me to make you some bloody breakfast?!"

House then had a smug grin on his face as he leaned against the door frame. "Yep." Sarlina then groaned, placing her hand up against her forehead. "Oh sodding hell, Seriously mate yer this close to becoming a eunuch with a lovely singing voice ya know that?" House couldn't help but allow out a soft chuckle.

"Now why would you want to do that and disappoint all the ladies who love Mount Gregory so much?"

Sarlina then rolled her eyes as she walked away from him leaving the door open for him to walk in.

"You're definitely right! I would hate to place a dent on their business how else would they ever be able to eat!?"

House then immediately grinned, as he walked inside the apartment and closed the door behind him. He watched her walk into the kitchen and followed her not being able to keep his eyes off her. Why was it that it was extremely hard for him to keep his eyes off her this morning?

Sure, he knew that she was attractive but he's seen her in this kind of apparel before and it usually never affected him this much. He watched her bend down as she grabbed some pans and slowly tilted his head to get a better angle, and as she rose up so did her tank top showing off the small of her back.

House immediately sat down on a stool and analyzed her, wishing that he could walk up behind her and place his hands on those soft hips of hers. His thought's were then immediately cut off as soon as he heard her talking. "Sorry what?" he asked now coming out of his daze, Sarlina then slowly turned around and arched her brow at him.

"Did you guys ever find out what's going on with that married couple?"

House then shook his head. "No. The husband is still being a stubborn ass." Sarlina sighed, and slowly shook her head as she walked over to the fridge. "I suppose he has every right though. I mean imagine if it was you and you're wife in that position." House then shrugged as he placed his cane on the counter.

"I'd do everything I could to help her, but knowing me I'd be telling every doctor what I want them to do."

Sarlina then started to laugh. "Yeah, that would be definitely you. Remember that one time I had that gallbladder attack? And the doctors insisted that it was nothing but you knew... You knew all along that there was something wrong with me and demanded that they had that checked for me. And as soon as they did long and behold there were 120 gallstones in my gallbladder." House then rolled his eyes, he remembered that moment as clear as day, that was the night where they were going to go see a movie after a excruciating exam and then she started doubling over in pain.

"Those doctors were idiots."

Sarlina then started to laugh as she cracked some eggs and poured them into the pan. "Well I know after that they definitely were thrilled when it came time for us to leave, the bloody nurse would keep asking me how can I stand to be engaged to a man like you." House then started to laugh, he remembered that he had to lie to them and tell them that he and Sarlina were engaged in order for him to stay with her.

"Ah she was just jealous that she couldn't have me."

Sarlina rolled her eyes as she started to laugh. "She had to be at least fifty Greg!" House then smugly stood up and limped over to her. "Age is only a number baby." Sarlina then started to burst out into laughter, as she took her spatula into the pan and pulled the eggs out of the pan and onto the plate.

"Or so they say, I draw the limit though if they cannot count any further then their ten fingers and toes though."

House smirked at her, as she placed some bacon into the pan. "So I take it Dan was qualified in that department?" Sarlina shrugged as she smirked over at House. "Not necessarily but he did qualify in many other departments." She said suggestively, House rolled his eyes as he leaned his back up against the counter and crossed his arms.

"So you married him just for the sex?"

Sarlina then shrugged, as she placed the bacon on his plate and handed it to him. "It wasn't just sex... The man had some pure talent." She smirked giving him a wink as she started to walk away. "If sex is what you wanted you know that I was always open to help you with those needs." He joked, Sarlina then started laugh as she grabbed a glass from the cabinet.

"And ruin our severely odd friendship that we already have!? I would never!"

She grinned mischievously to him, House smirked at her knowing that in reality that she was just teasing him, he knew that Sarlina wouldn't marry someone with that as her reason she had an ulterior motive and that was to get out of her parent's house.

Sarlina then pulled out the orange juice out of the fridge and poured some into the glass and handed it to him along with some silver ware. "Well since yer all set I'm going to go take a shower and get ready." House then smirked at her as he places his plate and glass down.

"Can I watch?"

He asked innocently, Sarlina then smirked back at him and shook her head, placing her hand about two inches above her head.

"Sorry only men at this height range can stare at me while I'm bathing and since you over exceed this height level you are disqualified to have some sneak peeks."

House couldn't help but allow out a small laugh as she grinned at him. "Damn those vegetables my mother used to make me eat." Sarlina then started to laugh, as she patted his shoulder.

"Ah well ya better eat up luv make yerself all nice and strong when head off to work ya don't want to be behind the class today do ya?"

She smirked, House then mockingly sighed and rolled his eyes like he was pouting. "Yes mom..." Sarlina then smiled at him and playfully gave him her nod of approval.

"Good now I'll be right back."

House allowed out a closed mouth smile as she walked back up to the stairs to go get ready.

XXXXX

It took about 20 minutes to a half an hour when Sarlina had finally finished getting ready, and while she was busy upstairs. House ended up finishing his breakfast and placed the dish in the sink and then limped over to the stove and picked up the pans, he then carried them back to the sink and started to clean them.

While he was doing this his mind kept drifting back to that kiss they shared last night, he couldn't help but replay that moment in his mind over and over. He kept imagining those soft lips of hers against his and how her body was so soft and warm against his, oh and the way her tongue played with his and the way her teeth nipped the bottom of his lip just placed him over the edge. Yep it was safe to say that Greg House didn't go to bed anytime soon when he got home last night.

However, this morning he was a little leery about coming over to see her since that incident. But when he saw her this morning all those apprehensions went away and then came back the usual comfort he had with her.

He then suddenly heard footsteps coming down the stairs and knew it was her. House then slowly turned around to see Sarlina wearing a pair of black dress pants, and a short puffed sleeved ruffle black sheer button down shirt, with her long dark wavy hair resting over her shoulders. House then immediately smirked at her and allowed out a low whistle.

"Have some sponsors that you have to seduce today?"

Sarlina arched her brow at him as she pointed at her shoes. "Do these look like my hooker shoes?" House then shrugged. "Wouldn't know, love to, but just don't." Sarlina then started to laugh as she walked over to the coffee table to grab her purse.

"I'm going to assume that is you making a compliment on my attire and that you approve."

House smirked at her as he grabbed his cane, from the counter. "Think what you would like if that's what you want to believe in." Sarlina rolled her eyes as she walked over to the coat closet and grabbed her leather jacket.

"There's one thing I know about you Greg, you don't just out and say what you feel you say it with hidden meanings."

House arched his brow at her as she walked over to him, now adjusting her jacket, she for a split second then looked over at the sink and gasped her eyes widening. "Did you wash the dishes?" House looked back at the sink and then back at her and shrugged. "Is it really that much of a shock? You do realize that I have been a bachelor for 45 years now." Sarlina then started to laugh.

"Yeah but in all of the years I've known you, you have never picked up a dish and actually wash it off. You're idea of cleaning is just throwing it in the dishwasher and hope for the best."

House smirked at her as he grabbed his leather jacket and pulled it on. "Well you spoiled me by doing all the work for me." Sarlina glared at him as they both walked out of the apartment.

"Because I refused coming into that bloody place with cockroaches running around it, what else was I supposed to do?!"

House smirked as he limped towards his bike and handed her the helmet.

"Have you been looking for any places yet?"

Sarlina then shook her head. "Not as much as I like to, Lisa said I can stay with her as long as I want but I'd like to have my own space... I feel like I'm taking advantage ya know?" House then nodded as he locked his cane onto his bike and hopped on.

"Well you know you can always stay with me."

Sarlina then rolled her eyes as she hopped on behind him and wrapped her arms tightly around his waist. "And become you're full time maid no thanks luv." House then smirked.

"Fine! Don't say that I didn't offer then."

House then started his bike and kicked off the stand and drove them both off to the hospital.

XXXXX

It took House and Sarlina about 15 minutes to get to the hospital, House ended up parking his bike in the garage. As soon as he turned the engine off Sarlina softly unwrapped her arms from his waist and hopped off. House then moved off the bike and pulled out his cane while Sarlina took her helmet off and handed it to him.

"Bloody hell I have to admit that really is a sweet ride."

House grinned at her as he pulled off his sunglasses. "Figured you'd like it. You always liked my old one." Sarlina nodded, for some reason she didn't feel like being very talkative and almost wondered if it was because her and House were standing extremely close to each other. She immediately felt her cheeks flush and started having this odd little pang pass through her like a whirlwind.

Sure, last night was a huge shocker for her and never had she ever thought that House would kiss her and never in her life had she thought that she'd go off and kiss him back.

However, the kiss they shared was amazing to her, she felt the fireworks but was nervous that he was just doing this just to play around with her. Sarlina inwardly sighed knowing that if there was ever anything that would have gone on between them it would've happened by now.

She was then was immediately cut off from her thoughts when she felt him take her hand into his. Sarlina then quickly looked up at him and saw that he had a little smirk on his face.

"Helps my balance."

Sarlina couldn't help but smile at him, she knew House never admitted his need to have someone close to him but she knew that through all the years they have known each other that when ever he grabbed her hand, or looped his arm around hers or even pulled her closer to him it was to satisfy his need of feeling that someone was there for him, that he really wasn't alone and this was something Sarlina never had a problem helping him with.

"Well then I'm happy to help."

She grinned, House gave her a small closed mouth smile as they both walked towards the hospital. "So are you doing anything tonight after you're shift tonight?" House asked looking over at her, Sarlina then shrugged. "Not sure, I think Lisa wanted to go to this place to go have a drink after work since we haven't really had a chance to catch up." House then scoffed.

"She's using you as bait again?"

Sarlina then started to laugh, as they slowly un-twined their fingers from each other as they walked inside of the hospital. "I don't know... all I know is that she wanted a girls night out maybe meet some people, I have been meaning to do that." House then rolled his eyes.

"You just got divorced and you're planning on looking for someone... why don't you take all that free time into looking for a place?"

Sarlina then looked over at him. "Why is it such a big deal if I want to go out and meet people, you do it all the time and I never complain at you like this." House sighed and slowly shook his head as they walked through the lobby towards her office.

"Because... if I was just a recently divorcie that moved from London to New Jersey then my first priority would be getting a place. If you want I can help you look."

Sarlina then arched her brow at him. "Why are you being so nice? That is so unlike you, you're usually mean and sarcastic and have a strange obsession of calling me an idiot for my actions." House then shrugged. "I'm full of surprises." Sarlina then rolled her eyes as she took her keys and unlocked her door.

"What ever you say Wolverine."

As soon as she unlocked her door she opened it and immediately walked in, not realizing that House followed her. "So it's final then, instead of you looking for men and wasting you're time we'll start looking for a place for you instead." Sarlina couldn't help but laugh.

"If this is you're way of protecting me Greg, I'm grateful that you care but I can take care of myself."

House then rolled his eyes. "Who says I'm protecting you?! I'm just making sure that you'll stay miserable so I'm not the only one, just think we can be miserable buddies!" Sarlina frowned and slowly shook her head at him.

"Well I don't know about you Greg but I don't plan on being miserable for the rest of my life, I came back to the states so I can start a new life, not wallow in sadness."

House then arched his brow at her. "Thought you came to this state because you knew you could be safe here because of me." Sarlina then glared at him.

"So you're going to hold that against me now? Yeah I came here because you're the only person I know who wont shun me away! But that doesn't mean that I owe you anything Greg, it doesn't mean that you get to decide whether I can go out and be happy. If I want to go out and meet someone and maybe fall in love I will! Greg I love you to death but you can't always decide what is right for me!"

House sighed as he slowly limped towards her, a complete look of seriousness morphed on his face as he gently placed his hand on her cheek. "You need me." Sarlina stared up into his ice blue eyes and sighed.

"And you need me now what are we going to do about that?"

House stared at her for a moment, feeling the urge to just give in, to feel her lips against his once again. So he then slowly leaned towards her, Sarlina was surprised by what he was doing but then slowly closed her eyes just allowing the motions to go through. House was only mere inches from embracing her until suddenly his pager went off.

This caused Sarlina to jump away from him and to groan out of frustration as he pulled out his beeper and looked at it. "Looks like the team needs me, wanna come?" Sarlina was still in a daze trying to think over what just happened but then quickly looked up at him.

"Um no... I need to head to the blood bank."

She said quickly, and then rushed out of her office leaving him there. House sighed as he watched her walk out the way she did, he knew that he shouldn't have gave into his urges and now she won't even look at him and had to rush out of the office like she did.

He then allowed out a long sigh and decided to find out what his team wanted.

Meanwhile, while Sarlina was walking down the halls towards the lab she ended up running into Cuddy. "Sarlina! Hey sorry I didn't let you know that I was leaving early this morning, House called and told me he was picking you up." Sarlina then gave Cuddy a small smile. "It's alright." Cuddy arched her brow at Sarlina and then grabbed her arm and pulled her aside. "Honey what's wrong?" Sarlina then quickly shook her head.

"Nothing, it's nothing."

Cuddy slowly nodded figuring that Sarlina will tell her when she's ready. "So how was you're night with House last night? Was he his usual total jerkiness?" Sarlina slowly shook her head as they both started walking towards the Lab.

"No... he was alright, he took me to this restaurant, we talked, we danced, then he dropped me off and we kissed."

Cuddy then instantly stopped in her tracks and stopped Sarlina. "He kissed you?!" Sarlina nodded and started to laugh figuring that it was probably him playing around with her, and that is probably what he was doing this morning.

"Yeah but we were just teasing... You know how me and him are when we're together."

Cuddy nodded, but she knew the truth Sarlina probably figured he was playing around but in truth Cuddy knew deep down he really meant to kiss her, he wanted to kiss her. "Yeah I know... look are we still on for tonight?" Sarlina then quickly nodded. "Yeah! I'd love to go." Cuddy then smiled at Sarlina and placed her hand on her shoulder.

"Look, I know House is very demanding and I know he's making you think that you're not ready to go out into the real world but you deserve to be happy, you deserve to meet someone who will make you happy."

Sarlina gave Cuddy a small smile and nodded. "Thanks Lisa." Cuddy nodded and gave her a little smirk. "It's no problem we'll head out after work alright?" Sarlina nodded and gave Cuddy a warm smile. "Sounds good to me." they then both said their goodbyes and headed off to their destinations.

Sarlina ended up walking into the lab only to see House and his team in there already. "The bowel's not dead." She overheard Foreman say as she walked over to her locker and pulled on her lab coat. House sighed, as he looked over at her. "Unless he's been tossing down cans of frosty lactic acid, the bowel is dead. What we're looking for is a reason it's dead" Chase looked over at House and noticed that he was staring at Sarlina who was busy looking over charts.

"Hello Dr. Donovan."

Sarlina quickly turned around and looked over at him. "Hey Dr. Chase how are you?" Chase then smiled over at her. "I'm well." Sarlina then nodded giving him a small smile and then looked over at Cameron.

"Dr. Cameron, me and Dr. Cuddy are going out tonight would you like to come?"

Cameron looked at Sarlina in shock but then slowly nodded. "Um sure... that would be fun." Sarlina smirked at her and nodded. "Great we'll be heading out around 8:30." House then glared at her.

"I thought you were going to concentrate on finding a place first."

Sarlina then shrugged. "Why can't I do both? I mean it's just a couple of drinks nothing special." House then arched his brow at her. "Then why didn't you invite me, Foreman or Chase?" Sarlina then arched her brow at him.

"Because... It's a girls night out kind of thing..."

She said slowly, House then rolled his eyes. "Where are you all going?" Sarlina then scoffed. "What part of it being girls night do you not understand?" House then limped over at her. "If it's just drinks then why so hesitant to tell me?" Sarlina then smirked at him.

"Because if I do say something then when we do go to this certain place I know for a fact that a certain man with a cane will most definitely show up."

House then smirked down at her, hearing Foreman sigh going back to what they were supposed to be talking about. "The bowel's not dead. Just general swelling and edema. The high lactate was probably from stress. We just sliced him open from chest to pubic bone for nothing." House rolled his eyes and then looked back at Foreman.

"Nothing's something. Forget the isochemia. Add the edema and swelling."

Sarlina then arched her brow at him and crossed her arms. "Which is probably from cutting him open." House whirled around and glared at her while Sarlina's smirk grew even wider pounding her fisted knuckles against Foreman's who was smirking as well. "Probably, not definitely. Okay, back to the beginning. What did we talk about? Anything, I want to hear it all again." Cameron sighed as she slowly crossed her arms.

"Allergies, doesn't fit at all now."

Chase sighed and slowly shook his head. "STD's, maybe we got the wrong one. What about syphilis, neurological symptoms..." Foreman then instantly cuts him off. "He wasn't cheating on her." House rolled his eyes as he was looking over the patients chart.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Love of his life. Don't you have to wait 'till he's dead to make that determination?"

Sarlina then looked over at him. "All because he would die for her doesn't make him an idiot Greg." House then rolled his eyes. "No it just makes him a moron." Sarlina then arched her brow at him and crossed her arms. "So you're saying that you wouldn't give up you're life for the woman you love?" Foreman then scoffed.

"She'd have to be one hell of a woman to put up with him, but that is besides the point. She's his only girlfriend ever. They grew up next door. They ran off together as teenagers. Sarcoidosis. We only ruled it out because we thought he had isochemic..."

House then immediately cuts him off. "Why did they run off?" Cameron then arched her brow at him. "What difference does it... " House then cuts her off as he looked over at Sarlina intently. "Kids talk about running off, not many do it. What was the reason?" Sarlina then finally caught on.

"You don't think..."

House then shrugged. "How many times have we talked about running away and never made it past our street." Foreman then rolled his eyes. "They were trying to escape his evil, pill-popping, racist dad. You would have liked him. We should do another biopsy." House arched his brow at him.

"How'd you know the dad was racist?"

Foreman then sighed. "He beat up his son for dating a black girl. Extrapolated from that" House then picked up the patients chart and stared down at him intently. "You see racism everywhere. Maybe he just didn't like this black girl." House then looked over at Sarlina and nodded her to look over the chart, Sarlina then slowly walked over to him and stared down at the chart and sighed.

"We should do a DNA Test."

House nodded while Cameron looked at them inquisitively. "Why? It's not sarcoid. We would have seen granulomas in..." House then once again cuts her off. "She has pretty eyes. Forget infectious. Forget environmental. Defective DNA is keeping them from making a critical protein, hence the fluid build-up." Sarlina nodded as she stared over at the chart.

"That would hit the throat, stomach, chest, and brain."

Cameron then frowned, not understanding the little conversation Sarlina and House must be having between each other. "Angioedema?" House then shook his head. "Hereditary Angioedema. Symptoms fit perfectly." Chase then arched his brow.

"It's an incredibly rare disease. They would both have to have a parent..."

House sighed as he pulled the picture out and showed it to his team. "Is it a coincidence that your sister has great hair, or that these two have green eyes?" Foreman looked at House horrified. "You're not saying... they're not brother and sister?" House then scrunched up his face.

"Ew, God, no! That would be sick. Half-brother and sister. Different moms. Dad must have had an affair with her mom. That's why he flipped out when the kids started dating, he had it himself, probably why the pills."

Sarlina nodded as she crossed her arms. "You might want to test them for HAE or paternity... that's the only way we'll know for sure." House then sighed. "It's going to take a day. She doesn't have a day. Start treating and see what happens." The team then nodded and headed off to start the tests.

Once they were gone it was just Sarlina and House alone in the lab. "So are you going to tell me where you all are going tonight or will I have to scare it out of someone." Sarlina then rolled her eyes. "Greg you're not finding out... I just want a normal night out with the girls and with you there is going to make everyone uncomfortable." House sighed as he turned her around to face him.

"Now why would you say that? Everyone loves me I'm a people person!"

Sarlina then arched her brow at him. "Then why are me and Wilson you're only friends?" House then shrugged.

"I'm picky."

Sarlina smirked at him and nodded. "Riiight that's what you keep tellin yourself huh?" House sighed as he looked at Sarlina seriously.

"Look just be careful alright?"

Sarlina nodded giving him a small smile as she leaned up and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you Greg."

House nodded giving her a small close mouthed smile as he watched her walk out of the lab.

Once Sarlina was gone, House then immediately rushed over to Wilson's office. As soon as he got there he quickly opened the door to see Wilson sitting at his desk. "You doing anything tonight?" Wilson looked up at him and arched his brow.

"Why...?"

House shrugged as he walked over to one of the seats and sat down in. "We're going to be following Cuddy, Cameron and Sarlina tonight. They're going out to a bar and we're going to see what their real intentions of going are for." Wilson then scrunched up his face.

"Now you're stalking her?! House just tell Sarlina that you want to go out with her! I take it the dinner didn't go well last night."

House then shook his head. "No it did, we ate, danced and kissed but when I tried to kiss her again this morning my beeper went off and she panicked and ran off." Wilson arched his brow at House.

"You kissed her, and yet she's still going out to a bar to meet people... Interesting. I almost wonder if that is because she figured you're being your same manipulative self and was trying to mess with her head!"

House then rolled his eyes. "Find out where they're going and let me know. They're heading out at 8:30." Wilson then scoffed. "I'm not partaking in this! If you want Sarlina you need to tell her that you want to be more than friends." House then smirked at him.

"Now that's out of you're system when are you going to get Cuddy to tell you where they're going?"

Wilson then sighed and bowed his head. "Probably in an hour or two." House nodded satisfyingly as he rose up from his seat.

"Great! I'll hear from you soon then."

House said eagerly and then rushed out of Wilson's office. Wilson couldn't help but laugh as he watched House leave, he was sure that this was going to be a bad idea but he knew that House wouldn't change his mind on this so decided he may as well play along, he just hoped that House won't do anything stupid to make Sarlina hate him completely.

Later that day, Wilson eventually found out where the girls were going and ended up telling House who was thrilled to find out. Today so far was turning out to be a good day for House, his team took the tests and confirmed that the young married couple had the same DNA. Foreman ended up telling the couple which of course was traumatizing to them and for the entire day there was no sign of Tritter... Yep today seemed like it was going pretty well for House at least that is what he thought.

Night had finally came and Sarlina, Cuddy and Cameron all met up and headed to the club. As soon as they made it to their destination, there were people dancing like crazy which made Sarlina really excited since she always loved dancing that is as long as if she had the right partner to dance with that is.

The girls all finally found a table and all sat down while a waiter came and took their orders. "So Sarlina you and House have known each other for quite sometime?" Cameron asked, Sarlina then nodded as she pulled off her jacket.

"Yeah... I was six and he was fourteen when we first met. He was my next door neighbor, both of our fathers were in the military and his father was transferred to London. Greg and his family lived there for about three years until they moved back to the states. But we still kept in touch, he'd call me and when I turned fourteen he came to visit for summer break. So we always tried to keep in touch, plus when I started at the university he was already a graduate and we'd hang out a lot then as well."

Cameron then nodded as the waiter placed down their drinks. "How come you guys didn't talk much now? I mean there's a lot that has happened to him and he's never mentioned you." Sarlina then shrugged as she took a sip from her drink.

"We got in a fight before I got married, he didn't like the guy I was getting married to so he came to my wedding to talk me out of it."

Cameron then started to laugh. "That sounds like House." Sarlina then nodded. "Oh you have no idea, the stories I could tell you are insane." Cuddy then nodded. "Trust me she's telling you the truth." Cameron then looked over at Cuddy. "How did you guys meet?" Cuddy smiled over at Sarlina and then answered.

"Sarlina and me were roommates our freshman year. You see I ended up meeting House and was supposed to meet up with him and his friends at a bar that Sarlina mentioned she worked at, at the time. So when me, House and a couple of his friends went to that bar it was Bartender Karaoke night and it turned out that it was Sarlina's night to sing. So I wanted to cheer her on, little did I know that Sarlina and House knew each other intently so when Sarlina was finished rocking the stage I called her over and that is when I found out that Sarlina and House knew each other. They were hugging and had huge grins on their faces, that it was almost like I was at the way side... But that's ok though, me and Sarlina had some good times... We ended up getting along with each other so well that we decided to become permanent roommates for the rest of our time at the university."

Cameron then smiled, she supposed that Sarlina wasn't that bad and she seemed like she was a lot of fun. However, that didn't stop the little pang that she was feeling knowing that Sarlina and House have a much more intense friendship than she thought they had.

Just then, a very attractive man then came up to them and placed his hand on Sarlina's shoulder. "Hey there beautiful what's you're name?" Sarlina then slowly turned around and gave him a mischievous smile once she saw how attractive he was, while Cuddy and Cameron were smirking at each other.

"Sarlina what's yer name?"

The man grinned at her and was about to answer until they all heard an extremely familiar voice. "Honey! There you are!" Sarlina's eyes widened along with Cuddy and Cameron's while they all turned to see House and Wilson making their way over to them. The man then looked over at House and glared at him. "Honey?!" He said, looking over at Sarlina with a confused expression on his face.

Sarlina sighed as the man moved his hand away from her shoulder and House moved over towards her and kissed her cheek. "Sorry I'm late, I had a last minute patient to take care of. Oh I called the sitter the kiddies are doing well and are in bed as we speak!" Sarlina glared at him while House whirled around to face the man, he gave the guy a innocent smile and held his hand out for the guy to shake it.

"Hi I'm Greg!"

The guy glared at him and then at Sarlina. "Hi I'm out of here!" he said irritably as he stormed off, House then mockingly pouted and looked over at Sarlina. "That was rude." Sarlina continued to glare at him while Cuddy immediately looked over at Wilson. "What are you two doing here!? I thought you wanted to know where we were because we had an emergency patient!" House then shrugged.

"Not so much of an emergency."

Sarlina then rolled her eyes. "I knew it! I knew that you'd con you're way into coming here!" House then smirked over at her as he hung his cane over the chair next to her. "Gotta admit the babysitter bit was a nice touch though." Sarlina sighed and rolled her eyes.

"Sit yer blarney arse down and have your drink."

House grinned over at her, while Wilson took a seat next to Cuddy. "Love to!" House then sat down next to Sarlina with his arm draped on the back of her chair looking at the crowd of people, Sarlina sighed noticing her drink was almost gone and then looked back at the bar and looked at House.

"Greg?"

House then quickly looked back at her."Yeah?" Sarlina then edged closer so he could hear her and asked him if he could get her something at the bar. "What would you like?" Sarlina's grin grew even bigger knowing exactly what she wanted. "Can you get me a rum and coke?" House then furrowed his brow at her. "You drink rum?" Sarlina smirked at the man next to her and nodded her head.

"Well when you're next door neighbor gave you some when you're eight years old you tend to get used to drinking it."

House smirked at her as he rose up from his seat to go get her drink. Sarlina looked back at the group who were all staring at her, she then gave them all a confused look and shrugged her shoulders.

"What?"

Cameron decided she would be the first one to speak up. "It's just so weird that you and House were well really close. He doesn't seem like the type who would be so... just so..." Sarlina then smiled at the younger doctor and finished her sentence.

"So strangely protective?"

Cameron smiled and nodded her head while Sarlina started to laugh and pushed her seat closer to the table. "You should've seen him when we were younger; you think he treats me normal now? Bloody hell you'd never recognize him when he was a teenager and in his college years... If I wasn't by him he'd worry about me I don't know how many times he had tried to convince me to leave my family and to live with him." Everyone smiled, especially Wilson since he had never heard about any of this from House who knew that he and Sarlina were that close.

He then noticed House was limping back with a beer and a rum and coke for Sarlina, he then sat down next to her and smirked handing her, her drink.

"Thanks Greg.."

Sarlina said giving House a soft smile.

During the night everyone was talking and having a good time hearing all the old stories about Sarlina and House's adventures until suddenly a tall, dark and handsome man appears with black hair and blue eyes that approaches Sarlina.

He then gently tapped on her shoulder so she'll look over at him. Sarlina quickly turned her head to look at him and gave him a smirk. "Yes?" she asked softly and innocently, the man then smiled at her and moved himself down to her ear which made her smirk turn into a smile.

"Would you like to dance?"

He asked, and moved back to look into her eyes. Sarlina smiled at him and nodded her head. "Yeah, Id like that." The man grinned at her and took her hand and pulled her onto the dance floor...

Cuddy and Cameron started to laugh and talk about how cute that guy was while Wilson was looking over at House worriedly since House had a look that looked like he could kill.

Meanwhile, Sarlina and the man started to dance... He quickly grabbed her by the waist and dipped her which caused her to laugh, he then twirled her around a couple of times and then brought her back to face him as the song progressed the closer their bodies would hit each other and the more House watched this the more he just wanted to break it up.

Suddenly a slow song came, and the guy wrapped his arms around Sarlina's waist pulling her dangerously close to him. Sarlina wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled at him.

While House was watching the scene he then noticed the guys hands were starting to roam her body and then the guy tried to lean in for a kiss but she would turn her head so he only got her cheek, the guy then suddenly decided he wasn't going to give up from there.

He then started to have his hands roam her hips and then that was the last straw... House couldn't take any more and quickly got up but Cuddy grabbed his shoulder "House what do you think your doing?!" House glared at Cuddy and then shoved her hand off of his shoulder.

"Gonna teach that jackass a lesson."

Cuddy sighed, knowing that Sarlina wouldn't be happy about this, and in a matter of seconds House was behind the guy and ripped him away from Sarlina.

House then immediately stood in between them, the guy started to get really ticked off and yelled. "Hey what the hell buddy! Don't you see we were busy?!" House glared at the guy and ignored Sarlina's pleas to just leave him alone.

"First off! I am not your buddy and second off if I see you touching her like that again I will have no problem beating the shit out of you."

The man's eyes grew wide and Sarlina then immediately chimed in. "Greg! What the hell is wrong with you?! We were just dancing just leave us alone!" House then glared at Sarlina and grabbed her arm.

"Come on were going home!"

Sarlina ripped her arm away from House and stalked off infuriated with the fact that he humiliated her. Sarlina then walked back to the table to grab her purse and jacket with House hot on her tail. "Sarlina..." House said softly, but Sarlina then immediately turned around and glared at him.

"Leave me alone! You blood bastard you completely humiliated me!"

House glared back at her, allowing his temper to get to him. "Humiliated you! Please! That jackass had his hands all over you! And then he tries to lean in and kiss you! He's damn lucky that I didn't rip him into shreds!" Sarlina scoffed him and shoved him away so she can leave, she then quickly turned and said goodbye to everyone and started to walk off with Cuddy quickly grabbing her stuff and glaring at House while she immediately left the club.

House sighed and shook his head while he quickly ran off to go follow her. "Wow House jealous... Thats something you don't see everyday." Cameron muttered completely amazed by the whole scene, Wilson then nodded. "No kidding, did you see the look he was giving that guy when he was sitting here?! It looked like he was seriously going to kill that guy."Cameron then sighed knowing that there was no chance for her and knew what House really wanted.

"I guess House really cares for her doesn't he?"

Wilson nodded his head a small smile appearing on his lips.

"Trust me this is like a Haley's Comet chance that we would ever see him act like that again."

Cameron then smirked at him and nodded knowing that Wilson was completely right.

XXXXX

House was seriously ticked off as he sped down the streets. He was only trying to protect her and that was how she thanked him!? He knew what that guy's motives were and the last thing he knew that she needed was some one night stand that went wrong! How the hell could she be so dense to not see that he was only trying to look out for her!?

He allowed out an irritated sigh as he continued to speed down the road to head back to his place, he then immediately saw a car now following him with red and blue flashing lights, he allowed out a sigh as he slowed down to a immediate stop and turned his bike off.

"Perfect."

He growled, as he kicked his stand and hopped off, pulling off his helmet. House then slowly turned around to look at the car and saw Tritter stepping out of it, he then allowed out another irritated sigh as he placed his helmet on the bike.

If you've come to return the thermometer, don't bother. I've moved on."

Tritter then gave him a smug smirk as he walked up towards House. "If you'd actually read my chart, you'd know that I'm a cop. You were going 40 in a 25 zone." House then rolled his eyes.

"Oh, come on. This isn't because I was speeding, it's because I'm Latino."

Tritter ignored his comment as he continued to walk towards him. "License, registration, proof of insurance." House then sarcastically shrugged his shoulders. "Sorry, cool jacket. Only pockets for important stuff." Tritter then shook his head as he pulled out his pad. "That's a shame." House couldn't help but smirk thinking this was completely ridiculous.

"50 buck ticket. Is that your way of beating me up, or is that the price for sticking something in you?"

Tritter then looked up at him as he opened his pad. "You took a pill while examining a patient, that's serious addictive behavior. I'm betting that you're holding right now." House shook his head and shrugged his shoulders.

"I wasn't weaving, I'm not drunk, you've got no reason to..."

Tritter then immediately cuts him off. "Pupils dilated, appear to be under the influence of a narcotic. Would you mind turning around, please, and putting your hands behind your head?" House then scoffed at him.

"Does that polite crap ever work on people?"

House was then immediately cut off when Tritter roughly turns him around and yanks House's arms above his head. "Most people realize that there's only one answer." He mutters as he pats House down, he then reaches into a pocket and finds some Vicodin.

"Got a prescription?"

House then rolled his eyes. "I'm a cripple who works in a hospital. You don't think I've got a valid prescription?" Tritter then smirked.

"Arrogant son-of-a-bitch like you? Oh, I bet you didn't bother. You are under arrest for possession of narcotics."

He then grabs House's wrists and cuffs him.

"You have the right to remain silent, which you should take advantage of for once in your life. If you give up the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law."

House sighed as he was thrown into the police car while Tritter called to have his bike impounded. Yep tonight was definitely one hell of a night...
