Cameron awoke in an unfamiliar room. Shooting up she glanced around wildly, until her eyes rested on something, someone. House laying there beside her, one arm draped across her waist, breathing rhythmically. She let a smug grin escape, looking at the alarm clock on the bedside table. It read 9am, she let out a little gasp, thinking she was late for work but then remembered she wasn't expected till noon and House turned up when someone paged him. Carefully she lifted Houses arm from her waist, and slipped out of bed.
The cool air made her naked skin prickle in goose bumps. Giving a little shiver she quietly got up, looking around for her cloths. She located he lacey undies and bra at the foot of the bed. Pulling them on, she slipped out of the door. She realized when they had come in; she hadn't seen much of his house.
Picking up and putting on her pants and t-shirt, she looked at the trinkets and pictures on the walls and cupboards. Once she had located all her cloths, she went to the kitchen and turned the kettle on. While she was waiting, the phone rang and without thinking she picked up. Just before she answered with "Hello, this is Alison Cameron speaking…" Cuddy barked down the phone.
"House I thought, no I KNOW I told you I wanted you to do your clinic…"Cameron quickly hung up the phone.
-
Back at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital, Cuddy sat there for a moment, before slamming the phone down.
"Basted!" She snapped. She sighed, deciding to do some paperwork and trying again later.

Cameron found the kettle and filled it with water. While she was waiting for it to boil, House walked out. She froze, waiting for her reaction. He looked over in her direction, and smirked.
"Slept well?"
She let out an inward sigh of relief and smiled.
"I did thank you"
He walked, well shuffled, to her. He placed both hands on her shoulders, looking down into her eyes. Cameron shivered, it was at this point he was either going to make some smart-ass comment and upset her, or… she didn't know.
He lifted one hand stroking her face; she closed her eyes, taking in the touch. He then caught her lips, kissing. Gently he pushed her up against the bench, hands running across her back. She pulled away, giving him a sexy grin, playfully biting her lip.
House breathing was ragged and racing, he gave her "You can't do this to me look" then the phone rang. House hesitated, then huffed, picking up the phone.
"Yes!" House snapped.
"Don't snap at me House, hanging up on me was the last straw. You are to come in RIGHT NOW, you WILL do your 3 hours of clinic duty"
House gave Cameron a pained look, then mouthed "Cuddy" and also made the "your dead" sign. Cameron gave him a very sorry smile.
"Okay, okay keep your knickers on… I'll be in soonish"
"Soonish better be now House… please remind me why I don't fire you"
"Because I'm good and sexy… I already know you secretly want me Cuddy"
Cuddy went silent and Cameron gave him an odd look, cocking her head slightly.
"House…" She said quietly "You can't use that against me... you promised you wouldn't bring that up again."
House cringed, as heartless as he was, he could hear the pain in her voice. He changed his tone.
"I'll be half and hour"
"Right" and she hung up.
"What was that about?" Questioned Cameron.
"Nothing, Cuddy just being the Nazi she is… three hours of clinic duty, oh boy and maybe if I'm a good boy and do all my clinic duty, Cuddy will give me a wolly pop!" He snorted.
Cameron smirked, straitening her shirt.
"Well I guess you have to go… you don't mind dropping me off at home? I still have a few hours till I have to come in"
"What do I like, a taxi?" He said in mock annoyance, heading towards the door. Cameron rolled her eyes, following him out the door.
Sorry for such a short chapter... it's gunna take some time to work out where to go from here so bare with me and thanks for waiting so far!
