I'm baaack! This chapter is pretty short because 1) I wanted to get a post up here and 2) I wanted to keep the reactions to their own chapter. Which will definately be the next chapter. So, enjoy! Reviews are lovely :)

Chapter 12

They rode back to Lisa's house in silence, her still blushing from the completely out-of-character move on House's part. But maybe it wasn't out-of-character for a House she didn't know, at least, not yet.

Lisa backed in to her driveway and they both got out. They barely got in the door before House's bag hit the floor and they staggered up the stairs, joined at the lips and the hips, and, well, the rest of their bodies for that matter. House had a little trouble up the stairs, but still seemed to be having less trouble than normal.

After doing very little of meaning the rest of the day, they went to bed excited to see reactions on certain people's faces. Wilson had tried to get House on the phone a couple of times during the day and probably had shown up to House's apartment only to find him MIA. He already knew something was going on with them, but he expected them to keep it quiet, especially at first. Knowing Wilson already knew, House was most excited for Cameron's reaction.

"Hey, don't rub it in too much in front of Cameron tomorrow, okay?" Lisa said softly. They were laying in bed, House on his back and Lisa half on House's chest.

"Awww mom! Why?" House replied not-so-softly.

"Because. She has a high school crush on you. Yeah, we all know she's with Chase now but she still has a crush on you. She'll try to hide it, but she'll be devastated."

"All the more reason to rub it in," House said. Lisa pulled herself up so she was straddling his waist.

"Why do you have to be such a jerk?" Cuddy said, her face inches from his.

"I'm being the jerk? I think you're being the jerk at the moment. We can't have sex now, because it's midnight and we both have to go to bed and get up pretty early tomorrow. And yet here you are, straddling me, teasing me." He moved his face closer to hers with each of his last words.

"Hmph. You're calling me a jerk. I'm going to go sleep on the couch. Goodnight!" she said, jokingly upset. She pouted a little to tease him even more, then moved as if she was actually getting up to leave the room.

"Yeah, not so fast," House said, snaking his arm around her waist and pulling her back on top of him, causing her to erupt in laughter. He pinned her down by laying lightly on top of her with his arms around her.

"Goodnight, Lisa," he said quietly, kissed her, then buried his face in her neck.

"Goodnight, Greg."
