After having eaten their dinner quietly, they moved to the sofa.

"Everything was delicious, Greg"

"Yeah, I'm quite surprised" She chuckled.

"Um, do you want dessert? I have ice cream"

"I have a sweet tooth too"

"Good to know" Ally said as she stood up. House was feeling so comfortable in this attitude, in this intimacy and he felt she was enjoying too.

"I don't know which one you prefer. Strawberry or chocolate?"

"Both are fine" He said as she sit on the sofa close to him.

After a few minutes in silence eating their ice creams, Ally sunk her spoon into Greg's ice cream.

"Hey!! This is my ice cream" He said and she chuckled.

"I like chocolate too" Ally said and ate her spoon of chocolate ice cream. House smiled. "What?" House moved his hand to the corner of her mouth and with his finger, he cleaned some chocolate remainings.

"You left some out" House said and after that, he licked his finger. "Delicious"

"You need to try something. Do you allow me to take some of you ice cream again, honey?"

"Whatever you need" She smiled him "thank you" as she sunk the spoon into his chocolate ice cream and after that, she sunk the same spoon to her strawberry ice cream.

"The best combination you've ever tasted" She said as she offered him her spoon. House opened his mouth and closed his eyes in pleasure.

"Mmmmmmm!! Delicious. You must taste it too" And he did the same procedure she just did. They fed each other until both ice creams were finished.

"Now, it's you who's left something out" Ally said and kissed him cleaning the ice cream he dropped. House kissed back with all his passion.

"Thank God, you've kissed me, I was missing it" House said as they parted.

"You are allowed to kiss me whenever you want" She said as she caressed the arm that was around her.

"I've kissed you before, so I was calculating when you would kiss me" House said staring at her.

"I wanted to play with you a little, sorry" She said with a devilish smile.

"The waiting is been worthy" He said as he kissed her forehead. "Very worthy"

They stayed in the sofa cuddling each other, both had their legs on the coffee table, House had an arm around her and was drawing circles in her back and she had her head on his shoulder and an arm on his chest.

"Greg?" She whispered.

"What honey?"

"Did you really mean what you've written in those notes?" House moved his face so he was staring her. Ally was kinda scared of his answer.

"Every word" House said and Ally let go the breath she didn't know she was holding and smiled him. "I've been an idiot all these years. I'm ready, I'm ready for you, Ally"

"Oh, Greg"

"I'm sorry I've pushed you away all this time. I'm sure I must have hurt you more than once"

"It's okay, the important thing is that we are together now"

"Yes, and I blame myself for not saying this to you before. I really enjoy your company, Ally. You're amazing, so beautiful, a human being with a huge heart. I'd feel so lucky to have you next to me" She kissed him softly. "And I really enjoy the way we are now, in this sofa, and your little games and don't tell me you couldn't reach that bowl, you wanted me to lift you"

"Sorry" She said as she buried her head in his shoulder. He chuckled.

"I really hope to share with you many many minutes of my life for many many years" House finished and Ally's eyes were teary.

"And all this started because you wanted to steal my pack of beers" Ally said with a big grin.

"No, no, YOU wanted to steal MY pack of beers" House said with a big grin too. "I was planning to invite you dinner next Friday, that was the target in my next card and tell you all this but this blessed pack of beers we've drunk have accelerated my plan" He said seriously.

"God Bless the pack of beers then!" Allison said. "But, it was mine"

"It was yours? Are you sure?" He said looking for places she was ticklish and she started to laugh. "Oh My God, the lady is ticklish" And he continued tickling her. "It was yours, are you sure?"

"Yes" Ally was laughing "It was mine" She was now laying on the sofa and he was on top. "Greg, please, stop"

"No, no" He was smiling, her laugh was contagious. "I'm not gonna stop until you admit it was mine"

"Ok, ok" And he stopped and let her breath. "I admit that those beers..."

"Yeah, go on, angel" House said.

"Were MINE!!!" Ally said.

"Oh, wrong answer. What do I have to do to punish this beautiful lady? I know!! This!!" And he started tickling her again but this time, Ally started to look places where he was ticklish too and of course, she found them.

"Oh, no!! Ally!!!!" He started to laugh frenetically.

"You're ticklish too" Both were crying of laughing.

"Ahh!! That was my secret" He said between laughter

"I bet you have more"

"Oh, yessss!"

"Can't wait to find out" And they continued tickling each other and laughing non-stop
