Chapter Nine

Evie slowly opened her eyes yawning as she woke up. Chase loved her! The thought kept running through her mind. Chase loved her! She looked around her.

Everything was so much brighter in here then in her own bedroom. She rolled over and noticed on the bed side table there was a cup of coffee; she reached over and picked it up. Slowly sipping it she thought over the past few hours. Chase loved her…she was in his apartment…and he loved her. She got up and wrapped a shirt of Chases around her. Sipping her coffee she moved though the bedroom into the rest of the apartment.

Chases was over at the computer desk typing madly away. Evie walked over to him and wrapped her arm around his shoulders from behind. He looked at her and smiled broadly, she smiled back.

"Good morning." She whispered to him quietly and kissed him.

"Good morning," He asked swiveling his chair around and easily pulled her into his lap. "Did you sleep well?"

"Yes," She kissed him again "What's the time?" she asked casually getting up and moving towards the bathroom.

"Uh," Chase looked at his computer screen "11:15" There was a crash in the bathroom. Evie's face appeared in the doorway.

"WHAT?" Her face looked panic stricken.

"What's the matter?" Chase asked confused.

"Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god." She scrambled out of the bathroom and ran back to the bedroom and started to grab her clothes off the ground. Chase got up and went over to the bedroom.

"What's up?" He was a little worried by that look on her face. She looked up at him.

"I am supposed to meet Dr. Cuddy and Greg for brunch at eleven thirty." Chase suddenly went pale. "Do you think House will notice I have been out all night?" Chase grabbed his car keys.

"Come on!" Chase shouted from the kitchen. Evie finished buttoning up her blouse grabbed her purse and they both ran down the stair well. They practically threw themselves into the truck. The tires screeched as they took off.

"Hold on, we need to go to Greg's." Evie said quickly.

"No, we have to get to the Hospital." Chase said signaling for the exit.

"NO! I have to change; firstly I am in evening wear! Secondly, I can't wear the same clothes as I had on last night." Chase swerved the truck out of the exiting lane and crossed two lanes of traffic to skid to a halt in front of Houses apartment building. "Okay who is going to kill me, you or Greg?"

"Come on." Chase said getting out of the truck. Evie practically threw her self out of it as they both bolted into the building.

House stared around the busy restaurant surveying it for his sister. Dr. Lisa Cuddy was scanning the menu.

"So did you have a nice dinner last night?" Cuddy asked making a bold stab at conversation.

"Mediocre," House said. 'Where is she?' "Hey, have you seen Evelyn today?" Cuddy looked up from her menu.

"No, why?" House furrowed his brow.

"I don't think she came home last night." Cuddy struggled to suppress a laugh.

"What do you mean 'you think'?" She asked.

"Well, I went straight to sleep when I go home last night from dinner. I left extra early this morning and didn't look in on her. I bet Chase has something to do with it." House sat back crossing his arms frowning.

'Bingo and he thinks he is brilliant, HA!' "I have no idea what you are talking about." Cuddy returned her attention to the menu. There was a loud crash and both doctors looked over to the doorway.

Evelyn had run into a waiter carrying a big tub full of silver wear. She was wearing jean Capri's and a floral peasant blouse. She hurried over to the table and sat down.

"Good morning." She said forcing a smile on her face. House scowled.

"Where have you been?" asked House still scowling.

"Oh, I have been at the hospital, I thought we were meeting there." Cuddy was surprised at how the girl could hold her own under House's glare.

"We were going to meet at Cuddy's office but you didn't show up so we left without you."

"Oh, I thought we were meeting at your office. Now, I have heard the Egg Bennie is really good here." Evie disappeared behind her menu and Cuddy just couldn't stifle her snigger.
