House bought a few shirts, some more boxers, a pair of navy sweatpants and pair of black converse. He pulled on his new converse as they dropped off the rest of House's purchases before heading over to the hotel for the medical conference.

He had to admit that he was feeling a little nervous as they rode the motorcycle to the parking lot and made their way inside. Wilson met them inside with a kind smile and gave them their passes having somehow managed to secure one for House too. So with tags around their necks they were herded into the conference along with other loitering doctors.

"So what are we going to first?" Wilson said far too excitedly for House's liking.

"I told you we'll be in a closet all weekend." House answered.

Cameron rolled her eyes and yet stayed at his side as she looked over at Wilson. "Where are the guys?" She asked softly.

"They saw some gaggle of hot doctors from Chicago and went off in search of them." He said with a chuckle. "So where we going?"

"There's an immunology lecture in conference room one?" Cameron suggested with her eyes lighting up.

House smiled. "Let me guess. It's Lupus right?"

Cameron smiled bashfully and looked down.

House rolled his eyes. "We'll it looks like we're set for a couple of hours. You coming Wilson? Or do hot doctors beckon?"

"Hot doctors for me." He said with an almost lecherous grin and headed off in the opposite direction from which they were going.

"You know… I always thought he was a nice respectable guy."

"With three divorces?!" House exclaimed.

"Well yeah." She said softly following his lead.

"Well, now you know he's a dog like all men."

"Like you?" She asked with a grin, letting her hand dip into his back jeans pocket and squeeze his ass a little.

"Yeah. Thank god though because you're a very naughty girl." He said with a wide grin.

"I can't help it when my man is so sexy." She said leaning against him and kissing his ear softly.

"Yeah poor Allison and her sexy older man… I just hope untreatable diseases turn you off so I can get some peace in this lecture."

"Or we could find a closet?" She teased as they reached the entrance of the lecture and paused.

"You'd hate me for missing this now get your pretty little butt in there before I change my mind."

She pouted then smirked slightly, squeezing his hand as she led him inside and picked a seat a little more to the front than House would have preferred but the got an aisle seat allowing him to stretch out his legs a little which would keep his complaining to a minimum.

House contemplated sneaking out his i-pod from his pocket… but that would make him feel even more like a chaperone than he did at that moment and no doubt make that fact all too aware to Cameron. He was here just for her so that she could be comfortable, otherwise he'd be with Wilson trying to stop him throwing money he didn't have around to lasso himself wife number four.

Still spending time with her was soothing even amidst the droning of one very boring lecturer.

About halfway through he noticed Cameron's attention beginning to wane slightly.

"Bored Miss Cameron?" He asked softly with a grin.

"Umm yeah a little." She murmured with a soft sigh.

"Well come on then." He said standing and taking her hand leading her out. She blushed furiously as the lecturer stopped and stared at them as the walked in front of him. House cleaned his throat and spoke in a crisp English accent. "We caught flights last night and thought we could make it through the lecture but apparently you're not enthralling enough. Toodle-oo." And he pulled a giggling Cameron outside with him. Her giggles burst into roaring laughter as the door closed behind them. She stood there practically doubled over with laughter shaking in the middle of the hobby.

House grinned down at her, glad he could make her laugh.

"The look on his face!" She exclaimed between gasps.

"Yeah that was pretty funny."

"Ohh." She sighed as she gripped her stomach and stopped laughing slowly. "God my stomach aches."

"You need food come on." He said taking her hand.

"How did you do that accent so well?"

"I watch too much TV." He answered leading her to one of the hotel's many restaurants.

"Sure." She said rolling her eyes with a grin and kissed his cheek. "Thank you for getting us out of there."

"S'fine." He replied smiling as they headed towards the burger bar restaurant. "I was just waiting for you to get bored enough."

"Didn't take long, did it?" she sighed.

"You knew everything he was saying so why stick around to hear it again?"

"I suppose so." She mopped slightly.

"I know so. Trust me. You're smart and you know your stuff, you have to learn from experience now… only attend the lectures that give you new information." He said surely as they stepped inside the too-tidy imitation greasy spoon.

Cameron nodded gently, feeling a little odd that her lover and protector was fast turning into a superior. It didn't bother her too much. It just felt slightly strange to be receiving career advice from someone with their arms around her.

"So we're going to the Diagnostics lecture at 4?" she asked glancing at her watch seeing that they had almost and hour and half until it started.

"Who'd lecturing?"

"Some guy called Yule." She answered off-handedly.

House groaned. "He's boring." Then he groaned again as his eyes scanned the tables and found Wilson chatting to some woman. No doubt some long haired slutty doctor. "Come on." He said leading her over to the large booth, a wide grin spreading over his lips and the amount of taunting he was about to do. " Wilson, not chatting up wife number four already are you?" He said jovially.

Wilson looked down with a slight frown and guilty look.

But it wasn't the right mix for chatting up his next prospective wife... it was much more complicated than that.

The waterfall of dark brown curls turned to reveal a familiar face.

"Hi House." She said with a soft simle.
