Gregory House was incredibly pissed off. Not only was he not sleeping because he kept dreaming of Cuddy, but now she had called him and brought herself into his reality. Monday when he had returned to work at 11am he discovered an interesting case file. He was quite excited to finally have something to distract him, but it wasn't working.
The patient was a 23 year old female who was having all kinds of unrelated symptoms that had stumped several other doctors. Regretfully though, House was only on cloud nine for about 10 minutes, until thoughts of Cuddy came rushing back and he couldn't focus.
By Wednesday, he was in trouble. He hadn't slept since Monday night, his patient was getting worse, and he was in incredible pain. So on Wednesday he did the only logically thing, he found his only friend and discussed options as it related to Cuddy. He was blunt and told Wilson just how Cuddy seemed sexually frustrated, but also mentioned the idea of interacting with Cuddy and her children. Talking with Wilson about Cuddy was very helpful in clearing his mind, and as the conversation ended he was able to take a long nap in his office.
When he woke up, he battled a little with his team about the patient and had gladly sent them to run a few tests. Wednesday was turning in to a great day. House headed home to shower and hopefully catch up on the rest of his sleep as his team determined he was right about his diagnosis.
Early Friday morning House discovered his diagnosis had not been correct and found himself at the hospital at 5am. He yelled and he screamed. He paced and deflected and by 10am he discovered the patient's father had been drugging her with different types of poisons. It took the man and entire hour to admit to police every chemical he had used on his daughter, describing crazy experiments he was conducting. Thankfully the patient was put on meds to help flush her system. House, himself went and told the girl there may be some permanent damage but she wouldn't know till she experienced said damage. It was quite vague, and the girl seemed a little lost as House strolled out of the room.
With the patient successfully diagnosed, House was ready to head home. It was the weekend and he had gotten up way to early. As he was walking through the lobby, Wilson caught his attention.
"Hey lets grab lunch" Wilson said greeting him. House eagerly agreed to a free lunch before he headed home. So the pair headed to the cafeteria. Within minutes they were seated across from each other at a table.
"Solve your case yet?" Wilson asked and House nodded "her dad poisoned her" he stated between bites.
"Wow" Wilson replied "That's crazy" he finished. House again nodded. This seemed like odd small talk. House was sure Wilson wanted to ask about Cuddy, but Wilson never did. Actually as he finished lunch he just asked House to join him when he got off work for a few drinks.
"But I don't want to go to the same place." Wilson told House. "I've heard great things about this new bar. It's about 40 minutes from here but I think it will be worth it" He finished. House just shrugged "Pick me up at 7" House said and left the hospital to head home for a nap.
Wilson was left at the table with all of the trash, but smiled. He then pulled out his phone and texted Cuddy. The message read "We should be there about 8:30"
Lisa Cuddy had been preparing for Friday night for the last two days. She had made sure her nanny would be able to stay until at least midnight and made the woman promise to call if any issue occurred. She assured Matilda, her nanny, she would be just down the road at the new bar. Matilda had been thrilled. Cuddy definitely needed a night to herself. Cuddy even explained to Rachel, that Matilda would be sleeping over for most of the night and Mommy would be home before she woke up.
At 6:30pm she began the beautiful process of getting dressed. She showered, applied make up, and put on a very tight skirt. It was still considered cold outside but Cuddy opted to go without hose for this function. She was wearing a matching red lace underwear set she had not worn in quite some time and put on a low cut black top. It had some accents of silver lining the cut between her cleavage and that silver always seemed to draw a person's eyes. At 7:45 she was finally ready and after kissing her kids goodnight, headed the ten minutes to the bar down the street.
Wilson had arrived to House's apartment at 7 as instructed. House was not dressed or ready in anyway. He was actually still asleep when Wilson let himself in the apartment. "House, Wake up" Wilson said loudly nudging him.
"But mom, just five more minutes" House grumbled in response attempting to cuddle with the opposite side of his bed.
Wilson of course just walked around to that side of the bed. "Come on House I need a wingman, I want to drink and interact with hot women at a new bar." Wilson loudly told his stirring friend.
House grumbled somethings into the mattress and stretched, sitting up. He immediately grabbed his thigh to help stretch that space in his leg. "I'm up" House stated. A bar may be just what he needed to take his mind off of the infuriating Lisa Cuddy. He stood up and after a quick trip to the bathroom was ready to go. House decided that his work attire of a t-shirt and his jeans was appropriate but did grab a long sleeved button down and his leather jacket.
"I need food" House told Wilson as they exited the apartment. "Of course you do" Wilson responded with a grin. Once in the car, the pair decided on the first fast food restaurant they passed on the way to this 'new bar' Wilson was so excited about.
It was now 8:15 and Cuddy was beginning to enjoy herself at the bar. This was her first night out in over two years. She was standing basically in the middle of a group of men and woman. All of them were actually closer to her age then she expected. They were chatting and dancing in the middle of the floor. A gentleman had even bought Cuddy a tasty beverage and she was feeling wonderful. Thankfully the alcohol was calming her nerves.
At 8:45 Wilson and House finally made it to the bar. They quickly found a table and House ordered some nachos. "We just ate" Wilson commented as House finished his order with a stiff drink for him and Wilson. House quickly surveyed the bar. Most patrons looked to be about middle age or slightly younger. There was a large amount of people in this place. Large groups were dancing and several tables were full of people. The nachos and alcohol arrived pretty quickly. Wilson paid the waitress and offered her a trademark Wilson smile. He then downed his drink "I am going to find a hot scantily clad woman to dance with" He told House. "Wanna come?"
House shook his head, he was totally fine drinking at this table watching all the people dance and interact. He was laughing at them…mocking their dance moves and accepting drink refills from the waitress. Wilson was up dancing on the outskirts of the dance floor. It seemed a group of three women were surrounding Wilson, all was grinning intently. House found his gaze kept moving to the middle of the floor where he was distracted by a female body in the middle of the group. That body was beautiful and it only took him a few glances to know the owner of that body.
As if on cue, the group shifted and House saw her face. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, she had obviously been drinking. She was smiling and laughing with the group as they swayed. House watched her for a moment happily dancing and then saw a man getting a little closer to her and begin to grind behind her. He managed to see that man place his hand on Cuddy's hip as the group danced. House clenched his fist. No way in this world was he sitting nicely while some man put hands on his woman.
