Cuddy woke up to a warm body beside her. House was spooning her and had his arms around her. She could feel his breathing against the back of her neck that was exposed. She turned around in his arms and looked at him. He was sleeping soundly. He looked so peaceful when he slept, Cuddy thought. She kissed him tenderly on the lips. She turned around once again and grabbed her phone to see what time it was, only to find out that it was 8am. She could stay in bed for a while, since it was Sunday and didn't need to be back home anytime soon. She could see that Lucas had text her during the night. The text said 'just finished. Want me to come over?' Cuddy could feel the panic building. What if he had decided to drive home to her even if she hadn't answered? She quickly called Lucas to see if he was at his place or not.
"Hello?" Lucas said in a raspy voice.
"Hi, it's me." Cuddy said in a low voice, not wanting to wake up House.
"Hey, I texted you last night, but you didn't answer so I decided to just head home instead" Lucas explained. Cuddy let out a sigh of relief.
"Oh, okay. Well I just woke up so I need to get breakfast ready for Rachel. I'll talk to you soon." Cuddy said not really wanting to talk to him since she was with House right now.
"Okay, want me to come over later?" Lucas asked in a gentle tone. Cuddy thought about it for a while. If she would say no he would be suspicious. And she definitely didn't want that. So she decided to accept his offer instead.
"Okay, I'll see you around 7? she asked.
"Okay, I'll text you when I'm on my way. Love you." Lucas said.
"Do that. Love you too." Cuddy said in a low voice not wanting House to hear anything. She hung up the phone and put it on the nightstand quietly. When she turned around in the bed to snuggle up against House she flinched when she saw that his eyes was open.
"God, you scared me" Cuddy said with half a laugh and moved under the covers and cuddled up against him.
"Sorry" House mumbled. Not really felt like cuddling when she just had told Lucas that she loved him over the phone. He knew this was something he had agreed on. But that didn't mean he liked the idea. He loved spending time with her, and having her close, but he also hated that she was still together with Lucas. That he could touch and kiss her whenever he felt like it.
When Cuddy felt that he didn't move to embrace her or anything, she understood that he had heard hers and Lucas conversation they had shared over the phone just a couple of minutes ago. She really didn't wanted to fight with House right now. She just wanted to enjoy the morning with him. So she moved her position in the bed, so that she was looking at him. She moved her hand to his chest and started caressing it. She moved her hand up and down on his chest, just to feel his skin. She moved her hand up to his face and started stroking his jaw in gentle moves. House closed his eyes and moved his face so it was facing away from her. When Cuddy got this response from him she just sighed and waited for him to look at her. She returned her arm to his chest to repeat her moves. After a while he looked at her. With no emotion at all. She kissed his lips gentle. Brushing her lips against his. When she felt him respond to the kiss, she smiled against his lips. Happy that he hadn't rejected it. When she tried to deepen the kiss he unfortunately pulled away.
"House, what's wrong?" Cuddy said in a hurt voice. She didn't knew that the phone call had made him this upset.
"This" he said while poking with his finger on Cuddy and him. "it's what's wrong" he continued.
"What?" Cuddy asked not really knowing what he was talking about. And she wasn't sure she even wanted to know since it obviously was something about 'them'.
"Cuddy... we shouldn't be doing this" House said in a low voice. Cuddy felt like he had slapped her. Hard.
"What? Why not?" Cuddy asked with fear in her voice that House picked up on.
"Because..." House started. Not really knowing if he should tell her why or not.
"Because what House?" Cuddy pushed.
"Because I don't want to share you." House said in a low voice.
Cuddy could see that he was really hurt. She felt bad, since she was the reason for it.
"House... I..." she said in a uncomfortable voice not really knowing what to respond to that.
"Either you're with me, or him Cuddy, you cant have both" he said in a serious voice.
'No, no, no, no' Cuddy thought. Honestly she had changed her mind a little with the whole idea of being in a relationship with House, but she had her reasons not to be with him 'for real'. And she still wasn't convinced. When House didn't get a respond from her, he stood up from the bed and put a tee-shirt on that was laying on the floor. He was angry and hurt. He couldn't even lay beside her anymore. He walked out to the kitchen, and heard foot steps behind him. He ignored them and started making coffee instead. Then he felt Cuddy hug him from behind. Her forehead against his back. He stopped his moves, and turned around. He embraced her, squeezing her tight against him. Not ever wanting to let go of her.
"House, give me some time to think about this ok? I do want to be with you I just need to be sure. I don't want this to end. I just need some time to think about all of this, and what I should do with Lucas. You think you can still keep this low until I know what to do? Cuddy asked in gentle voice.
House just nodded and inhaled the scent of her hair. Caressing her back in slowly moves. He might not liking the idea of them sneaking around and that Cuddy still was seeing Lucas. But she was
worth it.
