Part Two-Chapter 19

"Oh my god."

"Has hell frozen over?"

"If I believed in the Apocalypse, I'd say that this is a sign of its imminent arrival."

Cameron started to come out of her sleep and her mind was a bit fuzzy. She could swear that she heard Chase, Foreman and Wilson talking in her bedroom. She shifted and felt the warmth and softness of a chest under her hand. What the… Cameron thought as she jerked up and fully awakened. She saw a lot as she opened her eyes. House next to her, the office, Chase, Foreman and Wilson standing in front of her. All three were starring in amused disbelief. Her movement woke House up. He looked at everyone as he stretched and rubbed his head.

"So sleeping with the boss huh Cameron?"

"Chase!"

"I can see what House is getting out of it but I can't imagine what you are getting." Foreman smirked.

"Foreman, shut up! You know it's not like that. We just fell asleep last night."

"Oh there's a lot and I mean A LOT that she's getting out of this." House said suggestively wiggling his eyebrows.

"House! Stop encouraging them!" Cameron hit his arm.

"Methinks the lady doth protest too much." Everyone snickered at what House said while Cameron huffed loudly and threw up her hands.

"There's no talking any sense into you guys."

"Don't worry Cameron I believe you."

"Thank you Wilson." Cameron smiled at him in relief and then went to start making coffee. As she was getting it started House told Chase and Foreman to go and check on the patient. He and Wilson sat in his office watching Cameron with the coffee. Once it started to brew, Cameron went back into the office and said that she'd be right back. She grabbed her purse and walked out the door. Again, House and Wilson watched her and once she was out of hearing range, Wilson turned to House.

"Okay. Now what is going on? You and Cameron got something going?"

"Why? Jealous? Want to make her your fourth wife?"

"I'm concerned. Is this the real thing or are you playing with her? Cameron deserves better than that and you know it."

"Didn't you tell me that I should go for her?"

"Yes but in a good way."

"Well, I'm trying to be her friend." Wilson looked at him in disbelief.

"You're trying to be a friend?"

"Didn't you tell me that I should take it slow? Isn't trying to be her friend before getting in her pants slow?"

"You're so eloquent House."

"I know."

"Are you serious about trying to be her friend?" Wilson looked at him. House just sat avoiding Wilson's eyes. Finally he turned to Wilson.

"I want to try. It's hard. I'm not the kind of man who would be good for her but I don't want her with anyone else."

"Well I guess that's a start."

Before anything else could be said, the team was back and ready to start work. Wilson went on his way and Cameron took a seat trying to ignore the amused looks that passed between Chase and Foreman.
