House was now in front of Cuddy's house. He was hesitating and had no idea what to do. He wanted to tell her that it was over between them and to let it go and let him live his life with Lydia. But a part of him, deep down wanted to tell her how he really felt. He wanted to tell her the truth about how she gave up on him and left him in Mayfield to rot. She didn't visit him at all and that really hurt him. Nevertheless, House closed his hand, making a fist and made contact to the wooden door. He sighed, knowing that he had to make a hard decision very soon. She opened the door and gasped, not expecting the visitor that was standing on her porch.

"Hi." House said in the sweetest voice.

"Hey. What are you doing here?" She asked, letting him in her house.

"I felt like it." He answered her.

"You felt like it?" She asked.

He nodded in response. Not wanting her to asked further questions, he took out the composition paper that he hid behind his back and held it up.

She put on a sad face because she knew exactly what he was thinking.

"This is for you." House told her, making it clear that the song was for her and nor for Lydia. He handed it to her but she refused to take it.

"No. It's yours. You should keep it." Lisa told him. She had no intention of taking it. She knew that if she would, House would give up on her and she wasn't going to let that happen.

"Why won't you take it?" He asked her, surprised, thinking that she might've wanted something that made her think of him.

"I have my own copy." She admitted to him.

He took a couple steps forward looking at her beautiful face.

"Why?" He asked her. He had a feeling as to why but he needed to hear it from her.

"I made a copy because I wanted to have it. I wanted to have a part of you because the rest of you was and still is with Lydia." Cuddy admitted to him as he came closer and closer to her.

"I didn't want you completely gone from my life, House." She admitted.

House pressed his forehand against hers. She took a deep breath sensing his closeness. She could scent his sweet cigar smell and could taste the wood that his guitar rubbed on him. He could smell her vanilla shampoo and could taste her honey body wash as he stroked her cheek. He cupped her cheek showing his gentleness and looked her right in the eyes. He caressed her hair. Cuddy felt his hot breath on her lips and wanted to kiss him there right on the spot but she wanted him to do it. He turned his head and placed a kiss on Cuddy's cheek and let her go. He started to walk to the door.

Cuddy felt disappointed and sad once again. She felt her tears rising up after trying to lock them inside her, but without success as they rolled down her cheek.

"Was this all a joke to you?" Cuddy said with difficulty between sobs.

He turned around, almost as if he was shocked by what she had said.

"What?" He asked.

"Was this all a trick to see how far my feelings went for you?" She asked him, hurt.

"What? How could you say…" He started to say.

"Did Lydia put you up to this? Was this a joke or bet proving a point or do you just enjoy hurting me?" Lisa asked him devastated.

"No! Why would you even think that Cuddy?" House became serious.

"You come here all sweet and you almost kiss me and yet you leave! Why? Why House? Do you really enjoy hurting me this much?"

"See! This is why we can't or never can be something! I always do something to hurt you and I'm tired of it! I don't know if I can let go of Lydia yet Cuddy! I'm finally with a person that understands me and have always been here for me! I just don't know if I can let her go…" House said to her sincerely.

"When wasn't I there for you? I was always there for you House!" Cuddy yelled at him, not believing that he would say something like that.

"You weren't there at Mayfield! You didn't… You never visited me or called Cuddy! You have no idea what that did to me Lisa!" House exclaimed, telling her how he really felt.

"I wanted to come! I wanted to call but Wilson said that it wasn't a good idea!" She shouted, letting him know.

"Why would he do that? And in any case, I don't believe you!" He told her.

"He told me that you didn't want to see and that if I came you had no intention of showing your face!"

"I don't believe you!"

"Ask him yourself! He didn't tell me about Lydia, I wouldn't be surprised if he kept anything else to himself!" Cuddy said to him. She really wanted him to believe her because it really was the truth.

"In any case, you didn't come! You didn't want to come, admit it Cuddy!" House screamed.

"Come? You think I wanted to be disappointed by you again? I would've come there and you would've turned me down just like always! I didn't and I will never have the strength to be disappointed in you again. I can't handle it anymore… It hurts me House and I'm not bulletproof, okay? Or, I'm not some doll that you can tear up without putting any scars on it! I'm vulnerable House and especially against you! When will you put it in your head that you're my weakness! Why else do you think I've put up with your crap and haven't fired you! It's not because you are an asset to the hospital, it's because I care about you and I know how much this job means to you…" Cuddy let it all out. She wasn't going to keep it inside any longer. She stopped, however when she saw his face at the mention of hospital.

"No. Don't tell me!" Cuddy shouted, afraid of what she thought.

"She wants me too…" House said.

"You cannot quit your job because she wants you too, House! Please…" Cuddy pleaded, loosing control over her emotions.

"I have to consider it Cuddy…" He told her, looking at the ground feeling guilty.

Cuddy approached him and started shaking him as if she was trying to bring him back to reality.

"HOUSE!" She yelled.

"I can't let you be disappointed in me again, Lisa…" House said with sadness in his voice.

"Well, you're disappointing me right now! Don't quit! Please!" Cuddy begged, letting her tears roll down her cheek, only noticing when she tasted salt on her lips.

"I'm sorry Lisa… I really am… for everything. I have to try this, I have to try and let you go. It's been really hard doing that." House confessed.

"You don't have to… Don't let me go, House…" Cuddy pleaded.

"I have to…" House said in desperation.

"I've let you down long enough, I'm putting an end to this… Bye Lisa." He said making his way to the door.

"No!" Cuddy repeated.

Cuddy had no intention of letting him leave again, she walked over just before he was about to open the door and touched his shoulder and held it firmly making him turn around and face her. Cuddy caressed his cheek and pressed her lips against his. She kissed him passionately. House did not refuse the kiss and kissed back softly exploring her mouth inch by inch. He picked her up off of the ground and continued to kiss her.

TBC…
