Revenge Is Sweet

"My, aren't you looking cheery this morning," said House with a smirk.

Chase just rolled his eyes at House and dismissed him. Truth was, he didn't exactly know HOW he felt. A mysterious woman had slept with him (and been a bit rowdier than even HE was used to) the night before. Normally that would cheer him up, but all joyful and erotic feelings that Chase had had were immediately extinguished when he woke up next to the one and only Nurse Katie.

"What?" asked House. "Aren't we talking today?"

"Leave it alone, House."

"Why should I? This is so much fun!"

Chase just huffed his way out of the Conference Room, not really sure where to go. They had no patient, which meant no tests. He also had little reason to be in the lab. And there was NO way he would go to the Clinic NOW. Maybe he could seek refuge in the cafeteria.

"What's with the smile?" asked Brenda. "Your date go well last night?"

"Better than anything I could have ever imagined..." said Katie with a dreamy look in her eye.

"So I take it you've completely forgotten about Chase?" asked Brenda. "That's good, you're obsession with him was just... unhealthy."

"It was not!" shot Katie. "And I am NOT obsessed with him!"

"So you... aren't over him?"

Katie didn't have to answer the question. The blush that covered every inch of her body (and I mean EVERY inch) was answer enough.

Brenda just sighed and rolled her eyes. "You need to leave Chase alone, Kate."

-----

"What's up?" Cameron sat down across from Chase in the cafeteria, and she could tell there was something bothering him.

Chase looked up. "Where's your little boy-toy?"

Cameron smirked at Chase's choice of words. "He's in his office. Cuddy has banished us from clinic duty for the rest of the week. A bit ironic, no?"

Chase finally smiled, but that smile quickly faded.

"What's wrong?" asked Cameron.

Chase sighed. "You promise not to tell anyone?"

Cameron nodded.

Foreman had been busy doing his clinic duty all day long. He was having an eerily good day, knowing that Chase had probably had a bittersweet night.

"Another case for you, Dr. Foreman." Katie handed over the file to Foreman.

"My my, Nurse Katie," said Foreman with a large grin. "Don't you look happy... What's going on?"

"I... used that bit of information you gave me," said Katie. "Oh god, did I use it." Katie's eyes closed as thoughts of her night before swam back into her mind.

Worried that she was going to start having an orgasm or something, Foreman quickly left for Exam Room 2, which was now back in full use ever since House and Cameron's ban from the Clinic.

-----

"You have GOT to be kidding me," said Cameron after Chase had recapped his night to Cameron. He made it a point to include the fact that Foreman was the one who let his secret slip, and that House knew all about it as well.

"Sadly, no," said Chase.

"Well, what are you going to do?"

"What am I supposed to do?" asked Chase. "My ex-best friend sold me out, and now some little blondie won't leave me the hell alone. Not to mention my boss knows ALL about it."

Cameron sighed. "Well, we'll just have to make Foreman think twice before he ever does anything like that again, won't we?"
