"Given up on dancing?" Sarah asked coming up behind House and leaning over his shoulder to talk to him.
"My partner got run off to the toilets." He reminded her.
"Maybe she was hoping you would follow." Sarah let slip out softly.
"Then she forgot that her partner is a respectable man who doesn't meet trollops by the toilets." He retorted.
"Ouch." She said. "Well if I can't score with the guy I want I might as well head home." She said as arms wrapped around him from behind her hands explored over his shirt.
"We can't do this here." He said pulling away.
"Are you kidding me?" She sighed. "Forget it." She said pushing past him to leave frustrated,
"I'm gonna give Sarah a ride home." House said as he caught up to her when she was passing Wilson.
"No he's not I'll see myself home." She said storming off. She didn't have a good reason to get mad but she snapped. Maybe she was just impatient and could've waited but she was sick of holding back.
Wilson gave House a stormy look then turned to Sarah. "I have my car…" He started to offer her a ride home but she cut him off.
"It's not necessary I can get a cab. There's a line of them outside." She said walking away from him.
"Sarah." He called but she kept going.
It wasn't 30 minutes later when she heard knocking on her door. She opened it assuming it was James coming to check up on her since she did head out alone. She just stood quietly when it was Greg House on the other side.
"Checking to make sure you got home." He said.
"I do have a phone." She told him.
"I don't have the number." House reminded her.
"Yeah I'm safe, goodnight." She said closing the door. But he caught it with his cane and she let him push it back open and walk inside.
"I don't know what you want from me." He said seriously.
"Me you've been trying to seduce me since I got to town and I finally stopped fighting so you should count it a success." She said with a serious look.
"Seduced you?" He asked completely thrown.
She laughed. It was so ridiculous she was surprised he'd wanted to come in the way she'd been acting but she decided what the hell he had come over.
"Well you look at me with your cloudy blue eyes and talk to me. I don't know your voice just makes my blood heat up. Whenever you touch me I can't think of anything else." She told him.
"I'm a cranky old man." He said simply frowning down at her.
"You are a sarcastic bastard and you're also adorable." She admitted.
"You're young and beautiful and could have practically any guy you wanted." He said.
"Fuck you." She said then continued. "Why can't you believe that it's you I want? You are tall, handsome, rich, smart, shit. Always have been." She said.
"You were in high school when you first met me." He said.
"It was more than ten years ago." She reminded him.
"I was athletic." He said.
"Hey let me tell you what we started doing last night…" She started.
"I walk with a cane." He cut her off.
"And you make it sexy. I'm sorry you got hurt. You're life's different it sucks- don't push me away too cause fuck I don't need a damn tri-athlete." She tried to explain.
"I can't do this." House said before turning and leaving.
