Chapter Ten: We? What?
'So, what's he bugging you with?' Lisa asked immediately after they walked out of Jake's room.
'It's stupid, really.' Cameron said, afraid she had to tell the Dean of Medicine what exactly House was thinking. 'Believe me, you don't wanna know.'
'I want to know.' Cuddy retorted
'It's really stupid…and it sort of is a bit embarrassing.' Allison allowed with a quiet, shy voice. This was getting worse every minute.
'He owes me big time, I could tell him to stop.' It seemed like Cuddy wasn't about to back down and Cameron was feeling her hands getting sweaty.
'He would never let me live it down if you talked to him…besides House wouldn't just stop.' By the time Cameron had finished the sentence she heard a door close behind her and found herself in Cuddy's office.
Great.
'Come on, it can't be that bad?'
'It's bad…very bad, for me. And if I told you it would get even worse!'
Cuddy rolled her eyes and slumped down on her chair. 'So you did something that would piss me off if I knew or House would mock you if he found out that you told me?'
Very bad indeed. Cameron sighed deeply and slumped on the chair in front of Cuddy's desk. The Dean on the other hand was really curious now, not because of House, but because she wanted to know what Cameron could've done that was so 'bad'.
'Okay…I'm going to tell you, but I want you to know that it's not true.' Cuddy nodded and raised her eyebrows sarcastically.
Kindergarten!
'Okay…so, House thinks, and that's the part that is not true, that I have…some sort of…feelings for you…' Cameron mumbled embarrassed.
'Feelings?'
Great, now she had to explain everything. Couldn't get any worse.
'Well…like…a…crush on you, you know. That sort of feelings…' Oh my god, she gets angry, a little voice in Allison's head said. Don't panic, it said next. Too late, already am…
'I can't believe this! I can't believe you'd think I believe any of this for even a second!'
Oh.
'Well, I thought you'd believe House, coz he's…House. He's always right.' Allison stuttered.
'Yeah, he's always right when it comes to his patients but not with people, even he doesn't know everything about everyone! Now, what do we do?'
Cameron stared at the woman before her in utter confusion, having no idea what Cuddy expected from her now. 'We? What?'
'We have to do something. Get back at him…god knows he deserves it!'
