The next thing I knew was being curled up against House in his apartment listening to jazz and relaxing in his arms. He looked at me and sighed.

"Feelin better?"

I nodded and buried my face in his neck taking in his scent.

"Sorry for freaking out." I uttered quietly and he embraced me tightly.

"I'm the one to be sorry." He said and kissed the top of my head. I looked up at him and brushed my lips softly against his. He was this sort of 'Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde' guy so that you never knew which one was coming home - either the nice or the cranky one but still I just loved him the way he was. Loved? Did I really use this word?

I kissed him gently again but he soon deepened the kiss pushing his tongue further in my mouth. I put my arms around his neck as he caressed my back. We were kissing slowly and yet deeply, keeping our hands in somewhat 'safe' places and simply enjoying the other's presence.

"Would you stay here tonight?" He asked as soon as we broke off the kiss. He looked straight into my eyes and I could read something new in them. Something that hadn't been there before. I smiled and nodded sheepishly. He cupped my cheeks once again and kissed me tugging on my bottom lip. I moaned and started pulling his shirt up but he stopped me by grabbing my hands and pulled back. With a frown I looked at him not getting what was wrong again.

"Nah… Cam. I want to be with you but I'd be guessing we kinda screwed up by screwing that night, you know… I just think we should take it slowly from now on." He said and ran his thumb across my cheek. My jaw dropped when hearing his words but inside I felt happy and satisfied. I closed my eyes as he held me tight and I got lost in his scent as the jazz music which filled the room with something so peaceful and gentle.

We stayed like this for hours, none of us willing to let go. The unspoken words were all around and somehow the silence managed to make it up between the two of us. Eventually we would move to his bed where he spooned me to him, his arm tight around my waist. I relaxed in his arms again, falling asleep as soon as he whispered 'Night' in my ear kissing my neck.

I woke up to the sound of uneven steps pacing quickly in the living room the next morning. I walked in there drowsily to find House rubbing his thigh and cursing quietly. This sight of him broke my heart. It was clear that his bum leg would never heal but seeing this I felt so hopeless and so unable to help him. I approached him and as soon as he was within my reach I hugged him lovingly even though I knew it wouldn't help at all. He collapsed against me sighing heavily so I did me best to keep us standing as I tried to soothe him with my embrace.

"Have you taken Vicodin?" I asked lightly.

"Hell yes!!" He let out angrily but softened his tone immediately. "It just doesn't seem to be working."

I helped him to sit on the couch and kneeled in front of him.

"Blow job won't do now, I'm afraid." He hissed and I just shook my head.

"Try to relax." I said and rolled up his boxers a little to have a good access to his wounded thigh. He was watching me distrustfully but said nothing as a few beads of sweat rolled down his face. I put my fingers to the scar gently rubbing it. After another five minutes he was still breathing heavily but I felt him relax little. He tilted his head back and let out a loud sigh.

"Where did you learn it? God, it feels great." He murmured and I smiled. I went on massaging a little longer before he pulled me up to him and made me sit on his left leg. He kissed my collarbone and mumbled something that might have sounded like 'thanks'.

"Let's get back to the bed before we've got to leave for work." I said and grabbed his hand heading the soft and cozy bed placed in the other room.

As soon as we laid down House pulled me once again in his arms and kissed me soundly. I looked into his deep blue eyes and wanted nothing but to stay there with him forever. He somewhat read my thoughts and gave me a half smile.

"You don't feel like going to work, huh?"

"Not really. But it'd be suspicious if the two of us didn't show up."

"Who cares?" He said and closed his eyes. He was gently snoring right away and so I decided to get some sleep as well knowing I'd have to get up in two hours and go to work no matter how much I wanted to veg out for the whole day.

I got up at 8am knowing I was already late for work. House was still sleeping so I took a shower and dressed. Then I prepared him a small breakfast in case he was hungry when he woke up and I left.

Somehow I was feeling happy, which was more than obvious to the rest of the world because of the constant smile on my face. I entered the conference room to find Chase, Foreman and Cuddy waiting.

"Hey guys." I let out cheerfully and walked over to my desk.

"We've got a case." Foreman announced and Chase looked at me in disbelief. "You look weird."

"Where the hell is House again?" Cuddy sighed. I sat down and found that everyone was staring at me.

"What? How am I supposed to know that?"

They all shrugged and Cuddy turned to the door. "As soon as he appears, let him know I want to see him."

When she left we all had a coffee and started working.

House came at noon, as usual, and immediately made his way to Wilson's office to make him buy lunch. While we were discussing our case we heard a chirpy whistle coming closer and closer to the conference room.

"Hello, everyone." It was House. Foreman and Chase looked rather suspicious about his good mood but I knew better.

"Hi, Dr House." I said and looked back down into the patient's documents. "We've got a case."

"I've heard. What's the deal?" He asked and headed to the whiteboard.

"Well, that's a ten-million dollar question." Foreman said nastily and it was more than obvious that he wasn't talking about the patient.

"I guess I hired you to at least try to solve these problems." House snapped back and looked at the documents. While we were doing the differential diagnosis, House would look at me from time to time, which made me blush and wonder if the rest noticed it. They, however, seemed absorbed in the case.

After awhile, House sent us to make various tests and we all spent the day pretty much like that. I was in the lab when I heard someone come in. I thought it was Chase so I didn't even bother to turn to him.

"Thanks for the breakfast."

I jerked and turned around as soon as I heard the familiar deep voice. I looked into his mesmerizing blue eyes and smiled.

"No problem."

House approached me and kissed me soundly on my lips. He tasted like a cherry lollipop. I soon lost my cool and started responding his kiss with passion not minding the fact that anyone could see us through the glass door.

"My place tonight?" He asked as soon as we broke off the kiss. I took a deep breath and smiled.

"I guess you should visit my place as well."

"Okay." He nodded and kissed the top of my head before leaving.

It was around 9pm when I heard a knock on my door. I got up from the couch and went to answer it. I was wearing only shorts and a tank top, but I knew he would like it.

"Hey." He said and made his way in. He kissed my cheek sort of uncertainly but I pushed him against the wall and kissed him deeply. He pulled me closer to him and pinched my ass lightly. I twitched little and laughed.

"I came in peace, Cam." He said and pushed me gently away.

"I'm peaceful." I whispered and pushed him against the wall again. He gave me a half smile and kissed me again.

"Let's just watch some movies, shall we?" He said and led me to the couch. I gave up and sat down next to him. He pulled me closer and kissed my forehead. "So, how about Robot Monster or Monster A Go-Go?"

I pulled a face. "Aren't these the worst movies ever made?"

"Well, I couldn't get any other at this time in the video shop."

I shrugged and gave up. We watched like first ten minutes of one of them but, gosh, that was gruesome. And yet, House tried to seem interested in it just to defend his choice. But I wasn't buying it.

I kissed his cheek just to get his attention but he just rolled his eyes.

"Cut it… that's the best part." He hissed trying to hide a smile. I smiled even widely and made him look at me.

"Bedroom. Now." I said and got up leaving. I laid down on the bed and knew he would pretend not to be interested but I heard him limb after me a few minutes later.

TBC… soon. Thanks for the reviews… I hope to get more of them… :)
