Chapter 12
Now, Cameron was in such a good mood of course, ever since her kiss with House, that the gossiping nurses didn't even bother her. She simply approached the Nurse's Station and smiled at them in ecstasy.
"Can... we help you?" asked Brenda.
"Got another patient for me?" asked Cameron.
Katie handed her a file, but before letting it out of her own hands, she spoke up. "What is with you today, Dr. Cameron?"
"Whattya mean?" asked Cameron.
"Oh... don't give us that," said Brenda smirking.
Cameron took a deep breath. How much should she reveal about her and House?
----------------
"Well," said the counselor, "For one, we'd like to know why an employee is constantly visiting you."
House stared at her before nodding. "It's not like we have an employee-employer relationship. We all kind of work in a team, so it's not exactly professional."
"Why does she keep visiting you?" asked a nosy woman sitting next to House.
House stared at the woman for a brief second and continued. "She's been practically obsessed with me for like two years."
"And you kept her on staff?" asked the confused counselor.
House took a deep breath. He didn't know how much he wanted to reveal about him and Cameron.
-----------------
"So... I met a guy..." said Cameron. "What's so bad about that?"
Katie and Brenda smirked. They KNEW it.
"I don't see why that should make me the hospital's center of gossip," said Cameron.
"Who is he?" asked Katie.
"Who even said YOU knew him?" asked Cameron discretely.
Cameron walked off to an exam room as Katie and Brenda looked at each other.
"So she's NOT with House...?" said Brenda.
Katie shurgged. "Guess not," she said. "At least it doesn't sound like it."
Smiles spread across the faces of the two nurses.
----------------
"Dr. House..." said the counselor.
House had appearantly drifted off. "What? Oh... sorry... I uh..."
"Why DID you keep her on staff anyways?" asked the nosy woman at his side.
House glared at her. Couldn't she just shut up?
"Because she's a total hottie," said a guy across the cirlce from House.
House stared at him in disgust. "Don't call her that," he said bluntly.
"You seem to feel protective of Allison," said the counselor.
"More like territorial," said another man.
House rolled his eyes. Was he seriously having this conversation with a circle of druggies?
-----------------
Wilson approached Cameron in the clinic. Her bright attitude suddenly went downhill.
"What do you want?" asked Cameron.
Wilson rolled his eyes. "Are you EVER going to forgive me?"
"Why should I?!"
Wilson stared at her. "Look, I don't know why you're taking this so personally..."
"Wilson!" she shouted. "Just... stop it... okay?"
"Cameron, please," he begged. "Hear me out."
"I don't want to talk to you right now, Wilson."
"Why not?"
Cameron glared at Wilson. She wasn't going to speak to him until he and House had gotten over their fight. Still, though, Cameron couldn't forgive Wilson for turning House in and then practically leaving him to die in his apartment. "I'll see you later, Wilson," she said.
Wilson rolled his eyes as he watched her leave.
"Looks like trouble in paradise..." whispered Nurse Katie to her best friend.
"No..." said Brenda. "You really think? Dr. Wilson?"
"Oh come on," said Katie. "You heard them!"
Brenda shrugged. Katie DID have a point. Not to mention Dr. Wilson did have a reputation as a heart-breaking womanizer. Looks like they'd discovered Cameron's new boy-toy.
