Own Nothing.
Chapter Four.
"You're a lie." House stated, setting his cane on the class table. It has been over a week since she had started working there and she was to much of a lock to pick that he forgot about getting rid of her. He sat down across from her as she read over their new patient's file.
"Tell me more." She sat up in her chair, popping her neck for being stiff for to long.
"I had Chase and Forman google you, there's quite a few ' but none of them were you."
"I was wondering why Dr. Hadley asked me out. I was suspicious at first, so I told her I would think about it."
"Are you always suspicious when asked out?" House asked, watching her.
Hermione sighed, standing up and walking over to the coffee pot. She was on-call tonight and she needed more caffeine if she had to deal with House. "Are you always wary of people you just met?" She glanced over her shoulder at him.
"People lie." House replied.
"All the time." Hermione sighed, sitting down at the new pot began to brew. "Why are you trying to pick at me when you very well fire me."
"Oh I will. When I'm satisfied."
Hermione raised an eyebrow, frowning. "I'm taking this job seriously and you're trying to play 'guess who'."
"Tell me three things about yourself. Two truths, one lie." House commanded.
"You're kidding?" Hermione got up to pour herself a cup of coffee, stirring in the creamer, watching him.
"You job is on the line." He replied.
"What if you guess that one of the truths is a lie and I win?" Hermione asked. "You have to wager something to."
"If I get it wrong, a date." He smirked.
"If you want to go on a date, you could've just asked me." Hermione chuckled, sitting back down across form him.
"Would you have said yes?" He asked, he was curious now for her answer.
"No." Hermione replied. "You're my boss, such feelings are inapporiate and should not be in the work place."
He stared at her for a second, as if trying to decided if she was lied there, to his face. "Al-righty then. Tell me a lie."
"My name is Hermione Jane Granger." Her eyes sparkle as she calculated what information to release next. "My parents live in Australia." She took a sip of her coffee, her eyes never leaving his. "I have fought in a war." She set down her coffee to check her beeper when it went off. She cursed slightly before standing up. She glanced at House and nodded. "Let me know what you think later." She ran out of the room and down the hall to her patients room, leaving House there to think.
He stared at her coffee, silent, lost in thought. What she had revealed to him, well, it wasn't what he had expected. He sighed, getting up and grabbing his cane. He limped over to his office where his pill bottle was. He popped to pills when he reached his desk then he went had sat down in his comfy chair across the room. Maybe he would sleep on it, and give her his answer in the actual daylight morning.
