Chapter 11-Confessions

authors note: I am not 100 happy with this chapter. Still read it, you might enjoy it.
House could see Stacy and Cameron talkingby the edge of the roof. The very edge. They were talking rather happily but he could see Stacy had other plans. Just the evil look on her eyes. When Cameron spotted House, she stood up, and began to make her way towards him. Stacy grabbed her arm, and thrusted he closer to the side of the building. Cameron screamed for House. Nasty words flowed off Stacy's toung like an airport conveyor belt. House limped as fast as he could to Cameron's rescue. The faster he moved, the farther away Cameron became. "No Stacy!" Stacy turned facing house.. glazing him over with her eyes. "Stacy.. Please..." he reached for Cameron, desperately, trying to save her. One shove, Stacy had her over the edge, soaring to the streets. House felt a harsh pain on the side of his face.

Back to reality...

Cameron was awake for a good five minutes. She tried to wake him, but he kept telling her to stop. What was worse was he was calling her Stacy. When it hit Cameron, she slapped House hard in the face and stormed off to get dressed. He still had feelings for Stacy. If he wanted to play that way, she was leaving. How dare he still have feelings for her. She left him. Cameron realized she got too attached to House too soon for her own good.

House woke up, breathing heavily. He didn't know what just happened. He realized the slap wasn't a part of his nightmare, it was actually came from Cameron. Why would she slap him? It came to him, he must of been yelling at Stacy in his sleep. Shit! House quickly chugged two Vicodin, got his boxers on, and limped as fast as he could. This time he was going to save Cameron.

"Allison, don't leave"

"You obviously have feelings for her. You were dreaming of her. We had sex last night, so they were probably dirty dreams to top it all off! How dare you Greg!" Cameron started to cry. Mr.Huffles in hand, she sat on the couch. She wanted to leave, but she couldn't. Something told her to stay.House sat down in the arm chair across from her. He was frantic but he knew to keep his distance, for now.

"I lived with her for Five years. Yes I have feelings for her. Bad feelings. She left me, high and dry. She is controlling. If I did something my way, she was a bitch. Everything had to be her way. Everything had to be perfect.She is just that type of person" House said in a soft voice

"Then why were you calling her name then? If you hate her so much"

"I don't hate her. But I don't love her, or even like her. I had a dream, a nightmare. She became your friend, then stabbed you in the back. I tried to save you. It was impossible. She took you away from me, right there. In my frenzied state, I told her to stop. Thats the truth." His voice cracked. He was about to cry, she could sense it.

"How did she take me away from you?"

House looked down at his feet "She pushed you off a building. I know she isn't that insane, but she doesn't want us together. She is jealous. I am just afraid, alright"

"About what Greg?"

"That I will lose you Allison. That I will lose you. We moved a bit too fast, now I am attached to you. I don't have regrets... but... You remember when you said, it doesn't hurt to love? Well it does. I love you more than I ever loved her. We have been together a whole week, thats the sad part. I was depressed after she left me. Now if I lose you, I don't even know what will happen. Is there such a thing as Super-Depressed? Suicidal?"

She stared into his blue eyes, searching for something to say. She realized that he really did feel the same way as she did. He was just the bigger one to say it. She wanted to confess a lot of things.How without him, she wouldn't be complete. They had been dating for a week. But they had known each other for about a year. He made her smile. She too had grown ultra protective over him. She realized that the first time she layed eyes on Stacy, Cameron wanted to bash her head in. This wasn't about her, it was about the man she loved.

"I love you" she said, super quietly in a whisper breaking the long silence.

"What?"

"I Love you. I love you Gregory House" Cameron practically shouted it this time "When I am away from you, I miss you. When I am with you, I can let my guard down, be myself. Everything has a point, everything is worth while. I never felt like this before. I am emotional after losing a patient. Imagine me if I lost you, someone I love more than anyone."

"Oh, I can imagine you alright and it isn't pretty" House smirked a smile. Cameron ran over the coffee table to him, giving him a hug. They became locked in a deep kiss.

"I am sorry. I-It was an mistake"

"Don't be. We needed this talk"

"I love you Allison"

"I love you Greg"

"Let me get dressed. Lets go to the shore. Walk on the boardwalk, watch the sunset, then dinner at a nice restaurant. After all it is kind of our one week anniversary"

"Kind of. I would love to go. Let me change into a little something more presentable" she got off his lap just as the phone rang.

The machine read: 'Hello, You've reach Greg House. Uh, I missed your call. Leave your name and number. I probably won't call you back, unless I actually care.'

"Hello, Its Lisa... Cuddy. Dr.House I know you are probably avoiding the phone right now, but I am just telling you there is no big cases, nothing we actually need you expertise. So you are officially off-call for the day. Have fun while it lasts"

Cameron picked up. "Hey Lisa! Its Allison."

"Are you feeling better?"

"Yes, House has helped me a lot. Taught me how to be unsympathetic. I really needed the time to think. Thank you again. Are you excited for tonight?"

"With Luke? Just a little. Don't tell you boyfriend, please. He'll harass me"

"Yes, of course. You have fun tonight, wear protection"

"Ally! You really have to get away from House. And I need to get off the phone. Hospital business. Tell House see him Sunday. Bye Bye, nice talking to you"

"Bye" Cameron hung up the phone. House was back fully dressed. She could tell by the smile on his face, he was listening in from the other room.

"So, what does the ray-of-sunshine have planned fortonight?"

"Is she getting breast implants? Liposuction? No, she isn't that insecure. Let me guess, a hot date?"

"She is playing tennis tonight"

"Her partnermust bea total hottie"

"Shut up, let me get dressed"

The drive to the beach wasn't that long. Or it didn't seem that way with Allison along for the ride. It was already two in the afternoon. They walked along the boardwalk, telling stories. House began to lay down sticks along the path. He would laugh as he saw the bikers and roller skaters fly in the air, falling to their demise. Cameron reminded him of how childish he was.

"Oh, Oh, Please. I want some ice cream. Oh Please!"

Rolling her eyes, they visited the small 'Carvel' stand. He got chocolate, she got vanilla. Some would say they were opposites, but opposites do attract, you know. They sat down on a bench, just looking at the ocean.

"I have a confession to make" House acted serious

"What? You can tell me"

House smiled a huge grin. "Your ass looks fantastic in that skirt"

"You are really immuture" Cameron took what was left of her ice cream cone and smashed it in his face. She started laughing "You ought to go wash that off"

"I'd rather you lick it off"

"Fat chance. Here, use these napkins"

The couple happily walked (as far as they could without his cane sinking in the sand) on the beach. They sat down.Cameron leaned her head on his shoulder as they watched the sunset. He couldn't resist but kiss her tender lips. She tackled him on the sand, giving him a peck on the lips. The skybecame asdark as the beach was empty. Cameron rolled off of him and stared at the stars which began to appear. A shooting star shot across the sky.

"Make a wish Ally"

"What is there to wish for? I already got what I wanted.. you"

"I wish that I'll always have you by my side" House looked at her "Oh, and that my bite mark from the other night doesn't get infected." Cameron laughed. He always had a way to lighten the mood. They got up and made there way towards the boardwalk. Cameron and House followed the twist and turns towards the town, where they found a nice Italian restaurant. They both ordered the seafood and pasta platter.

"What do you think about marriage"

House almost spit out his food. "Cameron don't you think we're moving a little too fast now?"

"No, no. Just the whole concept"

"It gets you a tax deduction and health benefits"

"And thats all?"

"No, the whole thing, if you really love someone, and want to spend the rest of your life with them.. go get hitched. What about your wedding with Brian? How come I wasn't invited?"

"I didn't know you, silly. It was nice, candle lit. Very small though, only family, some friends"

"You like small weddings?"

"Not really"

"I figured that. If we get married, just because I am a Doctor doesn't mean I am paying for all of it!"

"I am a Doctor too. Gosh, you are such a loser sometimes. But I still love you" She reached across the table planting a kiss "What do you think about kids?"

This time he almost chocked. "You want to have kids now?"

"I am just saying, what if we live together and we get married. Would you want a family?"

"What if I bash you with my cane?"

"Seriously now"

"I guess.. I am open to it. Myself as a father though.. is a scary thought"

"You would be a fantastic father"

"You see my skills with kids in the clinic?"

"They aren't your own kids"

"We don't know that for sure. Sometimes I recognize the mothers" He winked

"Oh, Dr.Gregory House, the playa" She laughed

"Hey, I already got a pimp cane"

Cameron started laughing hysterically now. She quickly calmed down"Lets get some cake to take home for some dessert"

Arriving at his apartment, they shared a slice of double chocolate cake. Being the child he is, House flung a huge chunk of cake, right on her forehead. Cameron was silent as she wiped the cake off her face. Then in rage she tackled him off the couch. She grabbed his cane and flew into the bathroom, shutting the door. As he stared at the ceiling, he could here her laughter. House pulled himself off the floor and limped slowly to the hallway. When he reached the door he let out a fake cry:

"Oww my leg. Ouch, Ouch, it hurts. Allison help"

Cameron quickly opened the door with a concerned expression on her face. House smiled, grabbing the cane from her hand and whisked into his bedroom.

"Your such a character" Cameron laughed as she saw he, spread out on his bed.

"Care to join me Doctor Cameron? My leg could use some massaging"

"You'll get a massage alright"

She jumped in the bed, rubbing his leg. Her grip became tighter and tighter. House let out a yelp. Cameron moved her hands slightly higher, rather, in between his legs. She could feel him squirm. Then she retreated her hands.

"I think I am done for tonight." She laughed as she saw his look on his face.

"You discourage me, you know that?"

"Thats what you get for being such a naughty boy." She threw a pillow in his face. They wrestled each other, rolling around like a bunch of five years olds. Care free. After their mourning talk.. they grew closer. Life without House as her boyfriend was just a memory to Cameron. She had fallen for her boss. House loved her more and more by the minute. Doctor Cameron and Doctor House, one true pairing.
