He caught it in his left hand and set it down on his desk. He got up from the chair and stalked out of the room as quick as a crippled man could go. He needed to do this, finally, he needed to see her, he was driven.
"Hey! HEY! God, everyone leaves me…butthead." Angie muttered angrily and did what most teenagers did when they were upset and angry, she began listening to very loud music.
Greg House looked over the hospital, hoping to find just who he was looking for. He did, he found Allison Cameron signing off on some paper work at the front desk. He approached her nervously, not believing for a second that he was about to do what he came there to do.
"Cameron?" He started, just wanting her to turn around and look at him.
"Yes, House, what do you need?" Cameron said softly, the only thing she could think about just then was what she had said about him on the elevator.
"…Yes." He said simply.
"Yes? What do you mean yes?"
"Yes…I like you."
"What?" She begged in a complete state of shock, she had lightly braced herself against the front desk.
Angela was seated at the head of the table in the conference room, listening to 'Not if you were the last junkie on Earth' by the Dandy Warhols, very very loud. In front of her was a mug of water and a spilled box of animal crackers. She examined each cracker carefully then set it to the side. Just as she was giving a monkey cracker the evil eye, Chase and Foreman walked in and sat on either side of her. Noticing her headphones they didn't bother saying a word to her. Chase tried to reach for a giraffe, but Angie slapped his hand away. Feeling up to talking she turned off the music and removed her headphones.
"Where'd you two come from?" Angie asked, wondering where the two of them had run off to after everyone had gotten off the elevator.
"We were in the oncology unit, just checking up on the patient." Foreman answered nicely, eyeing a hippo cracker.
"So, they were diagnosed with cancer then." Angela said, pulling the hippo closer to herself.
"Yes, Wilson's with him right now, explaining the procedures and possible outcomes." Foreman replied.
"Oh, alright then…want my monkeys?"
"Please don't make me say this again, it was hard enough the first time." House said trying to reason with the woman.
"What! You're saying it's hard to like me?" Cameron sputtered; she was feeling far too many emotions at once.
"No! No, It was hard to tell you how I felt because at first I wasn't completely sure and I was nervous and…look can we just go talk about this somewhere a little less public?"
She smiled half-heartedly and left the busy hospital area for a small deserted corner of the cafeteria; House following close behind. She wanted all her ducks in a perfect straight row; she wanted to be sure of what was happening.
"So you like me? And your sure this is how you feel, your sure this is what you want?"
"Yeah, I think…I think that before I was worried about what might happen, this is unpredictable, but I want to try."
"Why don't you like the monkeys?" Chase asked looking nervously down at his small pile of monkey animal crackers.
"Monkeys are evil." Angela answered seriously, "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, eat no evil."
"I suppose that's a good policy." Forman said polishing off the last few crumbs of his monkey crackers.
Chase just shrugged and ate the crackers he was given. The animal crackers were all gone, Chase was leaning back in his chair with a crossword puzzle, Foreman was reading a medical journal he had brought from home and Angie had fallen asleep in her chair with Oasis playing loudly in her ears.
"Ok…so where do we go from here?" Allison Cameron asked, a bit giddy now.
"Umm… dinner?"
"I think I'd like that, but what will you do with Angela?"
"Ok here's the plan, on our way to the restaurant you open the door and I'll kick her out and then-"
"Very funny House, I think-"
"Greg" He insisted happily grinning now, walking back to the hospital area.
"Ok fine, I'll call you Greg if you call me Allison." She said with a great smile.
"Deal." He told her offering her his hand, but instead of shaking it she took it and dropped it to her side, his fingers linked with her own. They walked hand in hand, receiving many stares from everyone they passed, back to his office.
They entered his office and walked towards the conference room, finally dropping each other's hands. Cameron stood in the doorway and House approached his niece. Chase and Foreman looked up from their respective books and watched House attempt to wake a sleeping bear.
H grasped her shoulders and spoke to her, "Angela, come on Angela we're leaving now you need to wake up.
"Hhmmm…" she moaned, turning her head to the other side.
He turned of the music, and removed the headphones and began to poke her in the side with his cane. She wiggled about in her chair trying to get out of reach of the cane, but lost her balance and fell to the floor flat on her butt. She stood and gave her bottom a little rub.
"Ow…you're mean." Angie growled at her uncle, glaring at his eyes.
"Absolutely, so you ready to go?"
"No!" she muttered fiercely, marching past Greg and Alison down the hall.
