Chase POV
Chase had been having a bad day. The one woman he wanted didn't seem to want him and the reason why was beyond him. He was handsome, smart, selfless (a/n cough, cough) and had woman, married or not were practically throwing themselves at his feet. She was obviously playing hard to get and trying to test his loyalty (a/n you keep telling yourself that). He was about to go and put his theory into practice when he heard the phone ring.
"Hello Robert Chase speaking," he asked wondering if his fan club had gotten his number AGAIN. It was after all hard work being popular especially seeing how incredibly godlike he was.
"Hello Chase, you obviously know who this is," Cameron said in bored tone making him wince slightly. She was defiantly playing hard to get after all he wasn't a doctor for nothing.
"Hey babe, I was just about to visit you," he said in his attempt at sweet talk though his voice shook slightly. Well he had never needed to use sweet talk before since they were just falling into his hands.
"Oh, what a shame. Well you wouldn't have found me anyway since I'm in Princeton for the next month," Cameron said sarcastically.
"But think about me babe, I will need you to work in the clinic on the weekends. You could come back since I'm sure you don't need to be there holding your dads hand for a month. It would be so dreary," Chase said whining.
"One I'm a person not a pig so stop calling me babe, two you will manage without me for a month and three my dad will be home on Tuesday but I am going to be staying to work at Princeton Placebo Teaching Hospital for a month," Cameron snapped back in annoyance.
"YOU'RE working at Princeton Placebo Teaching Hospital? As what? A nurse? Because those doctors are out of your league babe," he said seriously. "Compared to them you would be a joke."
"House must have been on drugs then because I was asked to work clinic there," she said sarcastically not knowing how right she had been.
"House? As in Gregory House the famous diagnostician? How the hell do you know him well enough for him to recommend you for a job?" Chase said stunned.
"Hmm… maybe because he is treating my dad?" she replied sarcastically.
"Well babe I think I should go now and give you a chance to cool off. You're a acting a bit to sarcastic for me at the moment and just so you know, I know your playing hard to get and I am not giving up," he said sounding annoyed.
"YOU OBSSESIVE SON OF A B…"

Cameron POV
She was so tempted to call him back just so she could yell at him some more when she remembered she had been packing. She quickly put the last of her things in her bag and hurried out the door. She quickly hailed a taxi and left for the hospital. When she got there House was standing outside with a massive smirk on his face.
"You just got me off three days of clinic duty," he said sounding smug.
"Your welcome I guess, but it isn't that bad. The way you're talking it's almost as if it is the greatest torture ever," she said.
"Oh it is! The runny noses, the placing of mp3 players in revolting places. That was a funny day," he smirked but seeing her confused face said "long story and complaining parents who don't listen are the worst."
"Uhuh, you put a lot of thought in that didn't you?" Cameron said. "If you hate clinic duty that mach why did you become a doctor."
"I do it because…" House stopped and looked at her carefully before turning on his heel and leaving. Cameron went to go after him when a hand on her shoulder stopped her.
"Don't, Cameron I know you don't mean to but you are confusing the hell out of him." She turned around to face the oncologist looking confused.
"Why? I just asked him why he is a doctor and he couldn't answer me."
"You may not know this but House loves puzzles, he lives for the challenges they bring. To him people and illnesses are like puzzles and that is why he became a doctor. The thing is, he can't seem to work you out and that confuses him." Wilson admitted watching for her reaction but when none came he continued. "If you want I can drop you off at his house? Because those bags don't look light."
"Oh thanks, that would be great." She smiled at him and followed him to his car. She climbed in and despite trying to pay attention to what Wilson was saying her thoughts kept drifting back to House. So that's what made him become a doctor but why couldn't he tell her that? It was almost as if he was ashamed to tell her. But that may have been her imagination mucking around with her again. After all she had only met him that day but it felt like a lifetime to her. She smiled as she remembered how childish he had acted in front of Cuddy or was it Cubby? She couldn't really remember she would have to ask House later. She felt the car stop and she looked over at Wilson confused.
Wilson POV
Wilson finished clinic duty and sat down to think. He hadn't been lying when he said she was adorable. In fact it was probably an understatement, she was an angel! He hit his head against the wall, he couldn't be thinking that way about Cameron. He knew that his best friend was head over heels in love with her and he had to start getting a crush on her too. Despite the fact he never mentioned it House was like a brother to him and his feelings for Cameron were completely wrong in every shape and form. He suddenly remembered that he was married and laughed at the fact he thought of the fact that he would never betray House instead of even THINKING of his wife of a year. He walked out to see her standing outside talking to House. He saw his friend go to say something then walk away looking ashamed. He walked over to her grabbed her shoulder stopping her.
"Don't, Cameron I know you don't mean to but you are confusing the hell out of him." He said as House limped off, he looked down and saw her confused face.
"Why? I just asked him why he is a doctor and he couldn't answer me." He looked into her eyes; they were so beautiful and reminded him of the sky on a sunny day. Cliché? Well he was the sort of guy who did that.
"You may not know this but House loves puzzles, he lives for the challenges they bring. To him people and illnesses are like puzzles and that is why he became a doctor. The thing is, he can't seem to work you out and that confuses him." Wilson admitted watching for her reaction but when none came he continued. "If you want I can drop you off at his house? Because those bags don't look light."
"Oh thanks, that would be great." She smiled at him. Everything seemed to stop with that smile. It was one of those smiles that lit up their entire face and before he knew it he was grinning back. He opened the door before putting her bags in the back seat of the car. He started talking to her about life at the hospital and the people who worked there when he noticed her face had an almost dreamy smile on it so he shut up but she didn't seem to notice. He knew that look to well, it was the look House had been giving recently when he thought no one was looking and he felt himself burn with jealousy. It should be him not House who made her smile like that. Realizing what he was thinking he felt like hitting his head again. What sort of friend was he? He had been trying to get House to fall in love for ages and now that he had he wanted to take it all away. Seeing his House's house he pulled up. She looked over at him confused and he barley stopped himself from smiling at its cuteness.
"We're here," he said and helped bring her things inside.
Gerfan, theshowpopper, weezle13 and hot-chick down under: I'm glad you like it. Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorites too. As for House and Cameron you will have to wait to find out.
You know the drill, review if you liked it and don't bother if you don't.
