I go to make sure she's ok in the middle of the night and knock on her window lightly. She gets up and goes to the window sleepily… Naked! She opens the window. "Whadda want House? I'm tired."
"You're naked. And beautiful. No particular order."
I smile at her as she takes a moment to process that and then looks down. And slips on a robe blushing. "Why was I naked. Why does my head hurt? Was I drunk? Did we? We didn't…" She frowns. "We didn't did we?"
"You were a little tipsy. We didn't do anything. Just a few kisses. Oh and I grabbed your ass. But nothing else."
She looks relieved. "Why are you here again?"
I frown. "Why don't you want to sleep together."
"Come in. You can sleep next to me. But we aren't having sex. And neither of us are getting or staying naked."
"I'll take it." I meet her at the front door and she lets me in. "Why no sex though?" I look at her. "You can't say because I haven't seen you naked. Because I have now."
"Because I want to know how we feel about each other first. I don't want to have, admittedly great, meaningless sex with you." She looks at me practically begging me to understand with her eyes.
"What makes you think it'd be meaningless?"
"It's only our first date."
"We've been flirting since we were 20-somethings."
She rolls her eyes. "Too bad. You've waited so long you can wait a little longer." She kisses my cheek sweetly.
I wrap my arms around her and kiss her. "Please?"
She laughs pulling away from me. "I'm offering to sleep with you, but I'm not having sex. Got it?"
I nod and follow her into the bedroom and strip to my boxers. She grabs a nightgown that covers more than the ones she usually wears. "Hey. That's less sexy than what you usually wear."
"Oh well. Too bad for you." She goes to the bathroom and gets dressed then gets into the bed next to me and turns out the light. "Goodnight House."
"Kiss goodnight?"
"No. Night." She rolls to face away from me and falls asleep.
"Goodnight Cuddy." I fall asleep.
I wanted to put something a little sweet that House could do. I know it's not all that realistic but there has to be something sweet in House somewhere, no? I always like reviews.
