Chapter 6 Sunday

House's Apartment

Even as House continued his concurrent bouts with monotony and entertainment, the cleaning crew continued to turn his apartment upside down. Saturday evening brought the last of the real cleaning with the disinfection of the freezer, sweeping the wooden floors and vaccing the rest of it.

Cameron and Chase even washed the windows, making sure that they were spotless before they left to change for their shift that evening.

All in all, things were coming together rather well……

4:00 PM

Cuddy collapsed onto the couch, feeling safe that it had been sufficiently cleaned for it to be safe for human contact. "I don't know what's worse. The fact he did that to you or that you fell for it."

Wilson grimaced, feeling very embarrassed by the whole ordeal. "I was asleep at the time." He handed her a cup of tea and admired what they had done. "This place looks respectable. Guess it needed the right touch."

"Yeah well, wait until he sees it," she remarked dryly while sipping from her cup. "Especially after we're done implementing my organization system."

"I still think this is a bad idea," he disagreed. "By the way, I did find another roommate. The person called me at the hospital yesterday."

"That's great timing. You should move out before he gets here tomorrow," she advised.

"Just remember, it was your idea," he reminded her. "The sheets though are a little much."

She grinned. "Just signing my work." She looked around. "I just want to do one more thing." She patted the box.

"What's that?" he wondered while peering inside. "Cuddy, you know he won't wear that!"

"We'll see," she supposed; a big grin spreading across her face.

"He'll still have the bag from the airport."

"Maybe. It still has to get back here." She giggled.

"Lisa, come on!"

She frowned. "Besides I'm swapping things out so it isn't stealing. Come on. We'll actually be done tonight. Who would've thought?"

He winced, knowing that she might be stepping over the line with the box. Actually we could be done tomorrow night. I'd better pack quickly. I hope he's in a good mood after the concert!
