Chase's Bad Day Part Two
By Alli Cameron and Stella Bonasera
One look at his best friend and the women fighting for his affections told him all he needed to know. He settled himself back down again and then tapped Cameron on the shoulder.
"Ya know, you could calm down a bit. I know for a fact Greg doesn't like girls to give in. So maybe if you acted like you gave in then…I don't know. Maybe you could come back later, after he's had his fun with her." Cameron turned shock written all over her face.
"Do you mind NOT saying stuff like that around me?" She said and turned her back on him. Then suddenly she turned back to him.
"Or actually even when I'm not around?" She huffed and turned around to face the front. Foreman looked at her and then at Wilson and rolled his eyes. Wilson smirked and then whirled his hand around in a cuckoo motion and then pointed at Cameron. Foreman laughed and rapidly turned it into a cough.
"Wilson, do you mind not making those faces behind Cameron!" Cuddy said calmly without turning around. Wilson stopped shocked and looked at Foreman who shrugged.
"And you Foreman shouldn't egg him on." She continued and then started a conversation with Cameron about what shoes were out that month and were suitable for work. House looked backwards and saw Wilson and Foreman's sign language conversation and smirked.
"Ya know you two. You really shouldn't be saying things like that about Cameron and Cuddy behind their backs. That's rude and immature." He said and smirked at them. Cameron stopped in the middle of a sentence.
"Well then they've learnt from the best, huh House? I mean you are the Master of Immaturity aren't you?" She said and then continued talking to Cuddy. Wilson smiled at him and pointed at him.
"You got told. You got told." He chanted under his breath. Foreman grinned at this and glanced at his boss who was back to tormenting Chase again. Wilson looked down at the gossiping women in front of him and sighed loudly. Cameron turned.
"Can you please shut up? Lisa and me are trying to have a conversation, without you or Foreman or even House. OKAY?" She said menacingly then turned back to Lisa and continued what she had been saying before her outburst. Wilson sunk down behind the seats and immersed himself in a Cosmo magazine he'd found. Chase tried to ignore House prodding him ever five seconds but it was getting hard.
"House, get off!" He yelled eventually so loud that everyone jumped and stared at him. No one noticed the fact that a) they'd reached their destination and b) they were about to drive right into it.
"Err Chase, you might wanna brake." Foreman said starting to sound nervous.
"Why do you wanna go break into a car?" House said and then turned to see what Foreman was looking at. The building was approaching at an alarming rate. Chase braked quickly and sunk his head down to the steering wheel Foreman sighed and looked around them. He stared at something out of his window. He started trying to speak and didn't get very far.
House noticed his colleague's behaviour and turned to see what he was staring at. Wilson attention had also been captured and only Chase, Cuddy and Cameron were immune to its charms. A bright red convertible with the top down revealing it's gorgeous cream upholstery. Cameron sighed loudly and nudged Cuddy.
"Anyone would think it was a porn movie, the way you're staring at it!" She said exasperatedly as she opened the door and stepped out into the misty mid-afternoon air. House tore his eyes away and smirked.
"Really Wilson, you're married!" Wilson scowled at him and exited the boot. Chase sighed with relief at not having House poking him anymore and rubbed the aching spot in his side. Flexing his fingers he opened his door and got out.
House looked back at Cuddy and winked suggestively before shoving himself out of his seat as well. Cuddy steadied her fast breathing and smoothed back her hair, then elegantly slid out too. Cameron slipped a look at her boos and then at Lisa, a frown creasing her forehead.
House looked up at the building and frowned as well, though not for the same reason.
"Um, Chase."
"Yeah, now what?" Chase had gone round the back to let Wilson out but found him already out and looking at the building. Chase regarded House warily.
"Can I see the invite please?" Chase frowned and produced it out of his jacket pocket and passed it to Cuddy who in turn passed it to House a feeling rather like electric shock spread over her skin as it touched his.
Hose opened it, scrutinised it then raised his eyes heavenward. Cameron and Cuddy both stepped forward and peered over House's shoulders at the invitation. Then both turned to look at Chase. He now looked fearful. Cuddy stepped forward towards him and in response Chase took a retreating step backwards. Cuddy stepped forwards again and grabbed hold of his arm. Chase looked down at her grip on his arm.
"That really hurts." He said in a little voice.
"Oh grow up. I mean you deserve it after that fact we've had to drive here only to find we have to drive back. Thanks for that." Cuddy said angrily. Chase tried to shrink away from her.
"See? That is what I meant by scary. She is way scarier than you." He said to House. House turned and just looked at him. Chase shivered at the intensity of the look and once again tried to escape what was obviously going to happen. Foreman stepped up and grabbed the invite from House's fingers. He quickly read it and then turned to his fellow colleague.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" He yelled and walked towards Chase. House limped forwards and Cameron just folded her arms watching Chase squirm. Wilson took an interest at this point and gestured to Foreman to pass it to him. Foreman passed it to him and as Wilson read it, he watched as his expression went from questioning to surprised but never to anger.
"You didn't read this did you?" He questioned Chase and indicating the invite. Chase gulped and nodded at the gang on people stood around him blocking his escape and by the look on their faces they weren't that happy with him. Cameron stepped forward again closer to him.
"You really are an idiot. It obviously says that this was two days ago. You stupid idiot. All the times I've stuck up for you and you go and bugger this up. Well done." She said then turned on her heel and walked off round the other side of the car and as she walked passed Wilson snatched it form his fingers. Then she settled herself against the car and sighed loudly. Then she glanced back at Chase and the gang around him, she smiled at the scene and the turned around and focused her attention elsewhere. Wilson watched this with fascination he'd never heard her swear or even get angry before today and now she'd done both in the space of a few seconds! He watched her with renewed interest, then turned his attention to the restless mob that were out for Chase's blood.
