When Wilson and Cess came up for air, Cess cringed a bit, "Jimmy, less pressure!" she squeaked
Wilson immediately jumped off her and sat leaning against the wall, "I'm so sorry" he whispered
She sat up and rested her head on his shoulder, "What are you sorry for?" she asked softly, not really wanting to know the answer but knowing the question had to come out.
"Well for starters there's the whole squashing you bit" he laughed nervously before continuing, "Then there's the kissing you part; I shouldn't have done it Cessy, not with you…tonight" Wilson got up, leaving Cess where she sat…stiff. "I should go, I'm so sorry" he blurted before grabbing his coat and leaving, shutting the door ever so quietly on his way out.
It was in this position that Cameron and House found Cess in a few minutes later when House asked, "Was that Wilson leaving?"
All Cess could do was nod her head and blink back the tears that were burning her eyes; Cameron silently ushered House to the living room and came back to Cess, "What's happened?" she asked softly
"I'm not really sure myself, one minute we were talking, the next we were kissing, and then he just left" Cess choked back a sob
"Did he say anything?" Cameron pushed her gently
"He said that his sorry for kissing me, that he shouldn't have done it, not with me, not tonight" Cess explained in a rather uneasy calm tone
"Oh, well obviously that ended in him leaving suddenly; ah…do you want me to send House home? We can watch dvds, eat lite ice cream and talk?" Cameron suggested slightly nudging Cess which brought a smile to her face
"OK, but please don't tell him about what happened with me and Wilson, I couldn't stand him being angry at Wilson too, it was my fault" Cess agreed
"No problems, I'll say girl stuff and kick him out" Cameron laughed

Wilson had just arrived home when his phone rang, "Doctor Wilson" he answered
"We need to talk" was all the gruff voice on the phone said before hanging up
"Great, now I better find some scotch…I know Julie used to hide it somewhere" Wilson muttered to himself before starting his search in the kitchen.
Wilson hadn't been looking long before the sound of wood banging on wood hit his ears, "Shit, that means he didn't bring any alcohol" Wilson sighed before his hand touched cool glass, "AH! Bingo! Coming House"
Wilson opened the door, "How did you know it was me?" House greeted him with a grin
"Your voice on the phone, the distinct knocking of your cane…take your pick" Wilson handed him the scotch, "Before you kill me"
"Kill you? Why would I want to do that?" House asked
"So she didn't tell you want happened" Wilson stated rather than asked
"Who told me what?" House's voice took on a warning tone
"Oh shut up and sit, I'll explain it all before I die" Wilson sat on the couch waiting for House.
"Ok, I'm listening" House put the scotch on the table and faced Wilson.
"Well…I'm sure you've figured it out already, I've had a thing for her since before the infarction" Wilson stopped, hoping House would figure it out.
"Cessy" House breathed, taking a swig of the scotch, "What did you do?"
"Damn it House, before I continue can I please arm myself? You will kill me" Wilson begged, House nodded and Wilson retreated into the kitchen returning with a large pot and metal spoon, "Alright, well as you know Cess came to me and she had the cancer, well before that we had kept little contact. I'm worse than you are! Well what happened was tonight we were talking and something happened and we ended up in a tickle fight and I kissed her" House didn't look surprised at all, which shocked House
"So why would I kill you? Except for the part that she's my niece?" House smirked
"I apologized for kissing her House, I told her it shouldn't have happened and ran" Wilson slumped into the couch next to House, "Only thing is…well I like her House, I really like her"
House watched as Wilson explained in deeper how he felt for Cecilia, once he had finished House just handed him the bottle of scotch, "There's nothing you can do right now Jimmy, yea I'm pissed off because you left her hanging like that, but I'm not going to kill you because then she would kill me and it's just a vicious cycle. All I can say is that, you better fix this Jimmy, or else" with that House turned on the TV flipping for a channel with General Hospital.

"I'm sorry
I'm late, it took me forever to get here"
"I know
what you mean"
"Awwww" Cameron and Cecilia sighed in unison, the ending credits for Never Been Kissed rolled onto the screen as Cameron turned it off, "Right, are you calm enough to talk now?"
"Guess…I mean I don't get it, does he like me or not? Because he keeps sending me mixed signals" Cess sighed
"I think he does like you Cess, it's just that he's freshly divorced, you're still in recovery and maybe it was all just too quick for him? Maybe this time he wants to know if it's the right one before he says 'I DO', I mean the guy's been through 3 divorces and his only in his mid-thirties!" Cameron laughed
"I can understand that, I just wish he would make up his mind first before kissing me" Cess curled deeper into her blanket
"Maybe it was the kiss that freaked him out, made him realize how much he would be loosing if he didn't feel his way into this time?" Cameron suggested
"You're probably right about this, sorry, I just really, really like him! I have since I first met him" Cess blushed, "I still remember Uncle Greg bringing him home from College in his last years, mum was so happy to have Uncle Greg home. He walked in the front door to my mum's place and instantly struck up a conversation with me, I was about 13-14 at the time…" Cess trailed off
"Wow, so that means they have been friends for a very long time" Cameron stated
"A very long, hard, bumpy, funny time" Cess defined, "If I went out with them and Uncle Greg saw someone he knew, I was always left with Wilson and we became friends too I guess you could say"
The two young women continued talking until they feel asleep at opposite ends of Cess's new couch. It wasn't until the sudden loud knocking at the door, did the two realize that they were still on the couch, "I'll get it" Cameron yawned
"This better be bloody…Wilson" Cameron woke up fast, "its 3am, what are you doing here?" Cameron deliberately kept the door shut; only her face could be seen.
"I need to speak to her, please Cameron" Wilson begged leaning on the door frame
"I can't let you talk to her now Wilson, she's sleeping and you were the one who prescribed rest. After last night I don't think upsetting her anymore will help, she was pretty drained when we went to bed. Look, come back at a more reasonable hour and I'll let her decide OK?" Cameron asked
"NO! I need to speak with her Cameron, it's this or House is seriously going to damage me" Wilson explained, "He said fix it or else, I really don't want to find out what 'else' is"
Cameron took in Wilson's demeanor for the first time since he knocked on the door, "You're drunk! I won't let you speak with her until you've sobered up, and let her get some rest!" Cameron slammed the door in his face before whispering through it, "Don't even think of knocking until I give in, the police are only blocks away and I will not hesitate!"
Cameron watched through the peephole as Wilson staggered down the steps and onto the street. "Who was that?" a tired voice came from the living room
"Wilson, he wanted to talk, but he was drunk so I sent him home. Besides you're exhausted" Cameron answered truthfully
"Thank you, I can't face him tonight, or morning whichever it is!" Cecilia smiled walking down the hallway to her room, "Night or morning, you should get some rest too!" she called before closing her bedroom door.
