Chapter 9

Notes: Sorry about the delay! School is consuming my life at the moment! Please review! Will make me feel slightly happier.

The mourning after, Cuddy, Wilson, Chase and Foreman were all sat around the campfire. House and Cameron were yet to join them.

"Seriously, how long do they wanna sleep for?" Chase said referring to Cameron and House.

"Well from the sounds I heard last night, I think they will be extremely tired today", Wilson said quite casually as if it was nothing. A huge grin developed on his face as the others caught on to what he was saying.

"WHAT!" The others screamed in shock, their jaws touching the floor.

"You mean, House and… and CAMERON…uh, you know, did the nasty?" Foreman said, awkwardly, the words refusing to come out. Wilson looked up in surprise, "Are you kidding? How could you NOT hear them ?" He asked abruptly. The others realised why not, they had all gone straight to sleep after stealing Cameron's clothes (which were now in a neat pile in the corner of Wilson's tent).

"Ok dude, now you definitely owe me a hundred bucks", Foreman said holding his hand out to Chase.

"Ok, ok you won the stupid bet" Chase replied defeated.

"Hold on, let me get this straight, angry, miserable House and the naïve, sweet hearted Cameron, got freaky last night? You are SO pulling my strings", Cuddy said still shocked. Wilson explained that he was being 100 honest but was interrupted by the unzipping of the far tent. They all quickly went silent, waiting for the person to come out the tent. Stepping out with all eyes staring at her, Cameron clambered out yawning. Her hair was all over the place, her hands rubbing over her extremely tired eyes and only wearing a long shirt that belonged to House. Realising she had four pairs of eyes staring at her, she jumped.

"Uh… I thought you would all still be asleep", Cameron announced.

"Well it is 10:00", Wilson informed her. She was shocked at how late she had slept in, she never slept in. She sat down around the campfire which was flickering in the wind.

"So did you get much sleep last night", Chase said teasingly, before Foreman elbowed him.

"Not really… I mean I was quite hot and couldn't get any sleep", she said beginning to blush as she began to remember the events from the night before.

"Oh really? Because I was really cold, why were you so hot?" Chase said with a grin. Foreman elbowed him again. "Ouch", Chase muttered under his breath.

"Well it must have been my sleeping bag, it keeps in the heat in guess", Cameron responded still unsure what Chase was getting at. In the fear of being hurt again by Foreman, Chase decided it was in his best interest to remain quiet.

"You guys, I know this sounds very strange… But by any chance does anyone have my clothes?" She said blushing. The others looked at one another, not knowing what to say. They looked around hoping for someone to speak, and then Cuddy bravely broke the silence.

"Oh they were your clothes. I thought they were mine and because it was dark I didn't see that they were yours and um." Cuddy said trying to create an excuse on the spot.

Cameron smiled, "Oh alright", Cameron said not knowing whether to believe Cuddy.

"So I guess that's why your wearing House's shirt, I'm surprised he let you wear it, he hates lending his stuff out to people". Wilson said, staring at the shirt which clung to Cameron's tiny figure.

"Oh, no, it was on the floor and I just put it on", she said with a smile.

"So you've seen House topless", Cuddy teased. Cameron smiled before the blushing over came her cheeks, as she remembered how she'd seen a lot more then just House's chest. Her thoughts were interrupted, when she heard a loud mumbling coming from the distance. She turned around and saw the tent shaking around. The clambered out House, topless, only wearing some tracksuit bottoms, which he must have jut put on.

All eyes were staring in his direction, waiting to see what his reaction was when he saw Cameron for the first time since… well since they had their 'moment'. After realising the many eyes staring at him, he chimed "This isn't a strip show, so don't be expecting any more then this". He stumbled over and sat next to Cameron. Everyone including Cameron attempted to hold back a little grin.

"So, what's for breakfast", House asked oblivious to the grinning faces. "Oh so that's where my shirt is, I was looking everywhere for it… I'm quite disappointed you have it. I mean what did I tell you, no clothes are better". Cameron's cheeks turned a violent red. He said it jokingly, but secretly he did prefer no clothes on her.

Everyone was still staring at him, House soon realised. "What's going on? Why you all staring?" He asked piercing everyone with his dreamy eyes.

"You just look very tired House", Wilson said, trying to discreetly let House know that he knew about his little 'performance' last night.

"Yea I am, so would you if you had to sleep next to someone who snores all night". House said looking over at Cameron.

"I don't snore!" Cameron said, defending herself. She looked around and stared at him, and then her eyes got caught in his, she felt her self getting lost in them. Then the moment was broken.

"Well I heard you both last night", Wilson said with a huge grin on his face. House and Cameron both looked down at the floor, embarrassed.

"I mean snoring, you were VERY loud", Wilson continued, House looked up and Wilson gave him a little wink. But Cuddy's eyes were closed and had been for several minutes. She was so close to bursting out with laughter that she had closed her eyes and began concentrating on taking deep breaths.

I know it may not be that good, but I had to do it between course works, so please review! Thanks to everyone that has reviewed so far!
