Chapter 14

Finally the two weeks was up, and thankfully his team was able to handle the patient they had gotten, it was a relatively simple case. "Yahsu friends!" Foreman looked at him and House sneered. "It means hello. Now what did I miss!" He rolled up his sleeves to reveal he actually had a tan. He seemed in high spirits, and looked much better then when he left.

Foreman and Thirteen didn't seem to know how to answer. They looked at each other. Tuab was writing some kind of paper. "We had a case while you were gone." Thirteen said.

"But don't worry. We solved it WITHOUT you. Since you didn't have your cell with you." Foreman grumbled. Thirteen started to chew on her pencil. Waiting. And then, "Hey guys, you seen Lisa?" Jeb stuck his head in. Then his wide eyes rested on House for a second. He looked annoyed and then looked back at the group. "Went to see Wilson." Tuab answered, not looking up.

Jeb nodded. "Right! Thanks!" He ran off.

"Oh yeah. He started dating Dr. Cuddy. Been going out almost every day..." Thirteen said, not looking up from her paper.

They seemed mad at him. "You were going to call me...in Greece?" And he thought he was the one mindlessly wasting the hospital's money. That long distance call would have done it. They seemed different now that he was back. "And I'm giving you all a raise. Not as much as you were expecting, but you did keep the department, and the patient alive." And then Jeb stuck his head in, and this instantly spiked his curiosity. He was informed he and Cuddy had begun dating. "Wonderful news! I'll send them a basket." Jeb was gone, meaning no more kisses, no more awkward situations, just two friends hanging out. And yet part of him felt sick, like he liked the attention Jeb had been giving him.

Jeb snuck up behind Cuddy and grabbed her wrist, spinning her around with one arm wrapped around her back. "Hey Lisa! Ready for our date?" He kissed her cheek. He never kissed her lips. And though he was smiling a lot he seemed extra distracted today. Almost sad. "Shall I ask your boss to make sure it's ok?" He winked at her.

She laughed as he spun her, planting the kiss on her cheek. It was never on the lips, almost like he didn't want to seem like he was moving too fast. "I'm sure my boss will say it's alright." Wilson gave a small smile as the two of them left. There was something about Jeb that bothered even Wilson. He knew the guy had been all over House, and then, the instant House leaves...he's with Cuddy? It didn't make sense. And then, it did. Jeb was trying to make House jealous, by sacrificing Cuddy's feelings. "Lisa!" He called out, stepping out of his office. But it was too late, they were gone.

He drove them across town to a place call The Rain Forest Cafe. The inside looked like a rain forest with mist all around. And animals. Every once in a while it would darken and you could hear a thunderstorm and the little fake animals on the walls and in the bushes would freak out and start going wild. And then it would die down again. Jeb felt the wave of shame as they sat down. He knew he needed to tell Lisa soon. He adored her. Loved her. She was wonderful. But he didn't love her as he should. He was in love with House. A hopeless love. He was quieter today. A couple more days and I'll tell her. Enough time to make House jealous. But he would pull back in his affection so the blow wouldn't hurt as much. But how?

He took her to the Rainforest. It was a fun place, but something was wrong. She needed to tell him. There were too many suspicions, nothing about this felt right. It would be best if she let him go, it was fun and he was adorable, but this just wouldn't work. But how was she going to tell him?

"He's been seeing her every day?" House had managed to find Wilson, he needed to know how far this Cuddy Jeb thing had gone. Apparently they had been seeing each other every day. Lunch, coffee after work, Jeb was paying more attention to her then he ever did to him. They talked for a little while longer, though Wilson never told House his suspicion. House was angry, and inside he was torn apart. Was he jealous? It was beginning to seem that way. Not satisfied with this he left Wilson's office, in an attempt to find lunch.

Jeb spent almost the entire meal thinking. How would he tell her. How could he break the poor girl's heart? He fiddled with his lunch but still smiled and chatted with her about random things. "So it seems House is back." His voice held both excitement and bitterness. Then out came people dressed like natives. They walked up to a center stage singing and playing music.

They talked, they chatted, she thought. She wasn't like House, she couldn't just run away. She needed to tell him, and not through an email or over the phone. In person. And soon, in the next day or two. Maybe she would just come out and be honest, yes, that would have to work. Her thought were interrupted by Jeb, and House. "Yes, he's back. His team was angry at him for leaving his cell phone behind, I for one am glad. Could you imagine the charges to call Greece!" She laughed, and then a group of 'tribal' singers and dancers came out, and started performing. This captivated her attention almost immediately. Like dinner theatre! In the jungle.

Jeb watched the show and continued their date. He wondered if they could still be friends after this. He hoped so. But soon the date had to come to an end. He walked with her back to her office and kissed her cheek again. "See you tomorrow!" He grinned and winked. Then it was time to go back to work. He left the building making his way to his car.

House had watched them come in, the two of them were much too happy together. Well fine, Jeb and Cuddy wanted war, they would have it, but he had to plant the seed in Jeb's mind, make him remember what he was missing. House was waiting by the car for Jeb. "Heard about you and Cuddy, good luck, she's the devil." Then, completely out of the blue he grabbed the front of Jeb's shirt and pressed his lips against Jeb's, kissing him. When he finally let go, he turned without a word, back into the hospital. Jeb was House's.

Jeb stood there frozen with an odd look on his face. He had been kissed! House had kissed him! It took Jeb nearly a full minute before he was finally able to move again. As he drove home he had a very big grin on his face. The plan was working!
