Race to the Finish: Part 3 "Your Chariot Awaits"
House
mumbled as he made his way to Cameron's door. He was late and
wasn't
in
a good mood. Elephant boy took up way too much of his time - as if
a
second
was too long. Yes, Cameron was going to have to pay for that one. Not
as
much
as Chase, but It had to be good.
He tapped on the door. He heard a muffled "Come in its open."
House
pushed
it lightly "You know anyone could have just waltzed in here.
I
could
have
been your 'Eye guy'."
Cameron
popped her head around the corner. "How would he know where
I
lived?"
"Call me a hopeless romantic." House closed the door. "After I got done with 'Elephant boy', 'Eye guy just showed up to thank you again. I could resist."
Cameron looked stunned - no way would House ever give out her information.
He
smiled.
"Would
you relax, I'm not that dumb. But you will have to pay for
'Elephant
boy'."
Cameron
moved back quickly to her room. "I'll be right out. There's
Scotch in
the
Kitchen."
House
moved into the kitchen eyeing the set up. Picking up the bottle,
he
poured
a small amount into the glass. He didn't need to have a girly
scotch.
He
didn't recognize the band. Downing it in one shot - he was
surprised,
it
was very smooth. He poured a second more liberal amount. Setting
his
cane
on the coffee table, he waited taking in his surroundings.
Not
paying attention, House didn't hear Cameron enter the room. The
first
thing
he saw was a very nice leg. His eyes slowly traveled up the leg and
to
the
hem of a very soft brown skirt. "Can you give me a hand with this
button
the back."
House
stood and walked toward her - his hands trembling. She pulled her
hair out
of
the way to give him clear access. He put the cane in the crook of his
arm
and
went to work. A job that should have taken seconds was finally done
and
House
quickly went back to the scotch.
Cameron
picked up the wrap and looked at him. She gave House the once
over.
He
was wearing the same suit he wore on their "date" minus the sky
blue
shirt.
He
was wearing a white shirt to bring attention to his beautiful
eyes,
very
nice.
"What
did you say?" He asked standing up.
She
quickly walked over to him, very close. She put her hands on
his
shoulders
brushing downwards moving to his chest and lapels. House could
breathe
the
entire
time - the nerve ending all over his body firing at the same
time.
Cameron
stopped for second and looked at his shoes - His tennis shoes.
"I've gotta be me." He said as his only explanation. "Do I pass?"
She
stepped back taking his glass with her. Cameron finished the drink
in
one
gulp.
"Ready to go? Your chariot awaits my lady."
House put his hand on her back and guided her out the door.
