Chapter 11 – Telling House

"Hey you. I swear I was just thinking about you." Cameron smiled as she greeted Wilson.

The elevator doors closed behind him and he smiled back. "Really? Good thoughts, I hope."

"Actually…" She took a step forward, giving him a sly, sexy look. "It was a really, really bad thought." She leaned into him, reaching up for a kiss.

"Hmm. My favorite kind." Their lips met, and the fire was as immediate and strong as their first kiss.

They'd been together for nearly three weeks and everything was still mostly new. Every kiss, every caress felt like a new discovery.

Standing in the hospital elevator, locked in a tight embrace, they were lost to all reality around them. That's when the doors opened.

"Wilson. Corrupting the youth of America?

Time stopped.

House was on his way to see Wilson. He'd been acting strange for a few weeks. Which could only mean one thing. Wilson had a girlfriend.

It hurt House's feelings more than he'd admit that Wilson would keep that kind of secret from him. They were best friends; best friends tell each other when there is a development in their love lives.

"Come on." He muttered to the elevator.

Then, right on cue, the doors opened. House couldn't believe what he saw. Wilson and…Cameron? Kissing? 'How did I miss that?'

"Wilson. Corrupting the youth of America?" He immediately turned to his other best friend, sarcasm.

The couple in the elevator froze and then separated slowly and guiltily.

Wilson seemed to recover quickly. "This from the man dating a woman half his age."

They had made their way out of the elevator and the three doctors stood in the hallway, ignoring the audience gathering around them.

"House." Cameron breathed, finally recovering from her shock. "I'm sorry you had to find out this way. We were going to tell you."

"I guess it just slipped your mind, everyday when you saw me." He turned his sarcasm on her. Then turned to Wilson. "How long?"

"Three weeks."

House stared at him for a minute, hurt evident in his eyes, then turned and stalked off down the hall.

Wilson looked at Cameron. She gave him a soft smile and a kiss on the cheek. "Go. Talk to him."

Wilson smiled and kissed her cheek. "Thank you." Then took off after House.

Wilson walked into House's office just behind him.

"I was sure it was the new oncology nurse."

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. Honestly, I'm more than a little surprised you didn't figure it out."

House looked at him. "Three weeks! You've been dating her for three weeks, and you didn't tell me."

"House, you didn't tell me about Elizabeth for two months."

"That's different." House muttered taking a seat.

Wilson sat in the chair across from him. "How is that different?"

"We weren't dating."

"No, you were just living together." Wilson replied sarcastically; then looked at House seriously. "What's really bothering you?"

House stared through the window to the conference room. "It's Cameron."

Wilson looked confused. "Yeah…"

"She's had a thing for me since she started here. Now…" He broke off quietly.

"House…" Wilson shook his head. "You've got Elizabeth; you don't need Cameron pining for you."

"I know." House looked at him. "And I'm happy for you. I just… What if Elizabeth stops pining for me?"

Wilson shook his head again. "Won't happen. I've seen the way she looks at you."

House smiled. "So. You and Cameron, huh?"

Wilson nodded, grinning. "Me and Cameron."

"Don't keep secrets from me anymore."

"No problem."

They both knew it was a lie, but that was okay.
