A/N: Okay this one is slightly shorter then the rest but more is coming.

Chapter Five

Evelyn sat down as Chase offered her the chair. The restaurant was lovely it was dark with wonderful candle chandeliers. It was very art Nuevo, with a touch of tradition style in the furniture.

Chase had arrived dead on seven o'clock, at Houses apartment. Amazing for a man with a gimp leg House could get to the door faster then Evie. He tried to tell Chase that she was ill but she managed to beat him back so she could escape through the door. Chase was wearing a black suit with a purple shirt, without a tie. It looked good next to Evie's black dress, her little black dress. It was very short and only sat on one shoulder leaving the other bare. House nearly had a coronary when he saw it.

"So," said Chase sitting down across from her. "How big is the age difference between you and House?" Evie smiled.

"Twenty six years, our mother was twenty one when she had Greg and god only knows why they decided to have me. Maybe they were bored." She shrugged, smiling.

The conversation shifted easily from one topic to another, medicine, the hospital, interesting case studies, current events, movies, where she lived in California, where Chase had lived in Australia. They continued to talk until they arrived at House's door that evening.

Evie wanted nothing more then for the evening to carry on all night but that wasn't very likely especially because she knew Greg would be sitting in the living room watching the front door waiting for her to come home.

Chase turned to her. She looked at him her stomach doing back flips.

"I had a wonderful night." Evie said quietly feeling her mouth going very dry.

"I am glad, so did I." They lapsed into silence for the first time that night but it wasn't uneasy like before.

Oh my god! He was coming closer slowly, and amazingly enough she found her self being drawn to him like some invisible magnet was pulling her, either way she had no problem with it. Pull away for all she cared! They were going to kiss, then…

The door swung open and they shot apart. House was standing in the doorframe looking about eighty feet tall staring down his nose at them both.

"Greg!" Evie whispered under her breathe at him, he ignored her.

"Well, I am sure you had a wonderful night doing what ever it is that you sex driven twenty year olds do." House said coldly.

"GREG!" Evie thought she was going to get third degree burns her cheeks were burning so much. House grabbed her shoulder and pulled her in the apartment.

"I will see you at work." He said to Chase whose eyes looked like they were going to fall out his face. House slammed the door.

House had been exceptionally quiet the next day and completely ignored Chases presence, which made Chase increasingly uncomfortable, but that was nothing to how uncomfortable Evie looked when she arrive to meet Chase for lunch the next day.

"Are you okay?" Chase asked her when he came into his office and found her sitting in one of the chairs with her head in her hands with her elbows on her knees. She looked up at him; she looked like she hadn't slept at all last night.

"No! I am just going to need therapy for the rest of my life." She walked over to him. "Let's go."

"No, what is it?" He was worried she could tell.

"You really don't want to know." She said warningly.

"Sure I do." He didn't look like he would cave any time soon.

"House gave me…. gave me…" Even she couldn't finish the sentence.

"Gave you…" Chase prompted. She closed her eyes tight.

"A three hour long sex talk last night." She shivered. "Oh god it was awful!" Chase couldn't help himself he burst out laughing. He walked over and leaned on his desk bracing himself. She looked at him.

"Stop it!" She said helplessly. "It's not funny!"

"I am sorry, your right." He snorted and continued to laugh. Evie walked over to him until she was directly in front of him.

"You just wait, he is only steeling himself to give you yours." That shut him up; he looked at her, his eyes getting wide.

"You're kidding?" His voice was unusually high. She shook her head slowly.

"Chase!" They both looked around to see House watching them closely. "In my office now!" Chases eye opened even wider, he looked imploringly at Evie she mouthed the words 'Mock me now!' And he was forced to follow House out of his office.

Evie never did find out what House said to Chase that day, but all she knew was that when he came out he was the same colour as paper.
