Chapter Two
Cameron's Apartment - Bedroom
'Maybe it's too much; I mean the hair the clothes. Will he like it? When did I become so obsessed with what House thinks of me? He told me he didn't like me, why can't I get over that and focus on my new plan'. Cameron thinks to herself as she looks at her appearance in her bedroom mirror. She's wearing a tailored pinstripe black pant suit with a red low cut thin strap top that shows off her curves. Her hair has been straightened and she has dyed it back to her original colour, chocolate brown. She has used subtle make to show off her eyes and lips. 'I look more like Cuddy than I do myself', Cameron admits.
'Shit I'm going to be late, it's going to be bad enough that I'm going to have Forman and Chase looking down my chest all day but now I'm late. I'm sure their making assumptions of what I'm doing right now, great I never get a break', Cameron sighs to herself as she quickly grabs her keys and runs out the door.
The Hospital – Diagnostic offices
Both Chase and Forman are sitting in the diagnostic offices looking over their new patient file waiting for House and their other team mate Cameron to arrive. House enters an hour late for work, not an unusual thing for him.
"Hello my ducklings! How was your weekend, mine was filled with sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll. Hijack any cars weekend Forman", says House as he walks over to the coffee machine. Forman just shakes his head and sighs. House pours coffee into his mug and takes a sip of it and spits it out all over Chase.
"Owe! Do you mind House" Chase yells as he tries to get the hot coffee off him.
"Cameron! What is this shit you made this morning", screamed House as he poured the tasteless coffee down the sink.
"She's not here yet. Must have had an exciting weekend just like you", hints Chase to his colleagues.
"Not bloody likely", House mutters to himself, a hint of jealousy in his voice. 'Maybe I'm too late. I don't think she's over me. Who wouldn't be, I'm a catch!' House says to himself sarcastically.House was lost in his thoughts and didn't realise when Cameron came running in until she frantically started speaking.
"I'm so sorry I'm late I got caught in traffic on the freeway" Cameron explained as she tried to catch her breath. 'Let them believe me, please. I don't want any hassles this morning' shepleads to herself.
"Wow Cameron what happened to you" says Forman. Both he and Chase are gob smacked at what they are seeing. 'When did she become so hot?' Forman says to himself as he stares at her.
"What do you mean" Cameron coyly answers as she sits down, takes the patient file off of Forman and flicks her eyes over it. 'I have Forman and Chase under my spell but not the man I want; he hasn't even looked or said anything to me yet. Is that a good or bad sign?' She wonders to herself. 'Just keep focusing Allison, you'll get him, don't worry about it' Cameron says convincingly to herself as she moves her eyes over to House.
"Cameron nice for you to join us, I was starting to think…." House pauses as he turns around and makes eye contact with Cameron. 'She looks absolutely gorgeous. Is this all for me or someone else?' House says to himself. "I see you've been taking lessons from Cuddy on how to sex up the office place, sounds fun. Now where's the coffee?" House says in his usual manner.
Cameron stands up discouragedand walks over to make the coffee in silence. 'I knew this was too much. Now everyone thinks I'm desperate for attention. Why do I even bother? He is the most impossible man I have ever met' Cameron says to herself frustrated. "How do you guys want your coffee" Cameron interrupts her own thoughts to address her co-workers. They answer and she returns back to the job at hand. 'You know what. I look hot today. It's not my problem that House is a bastard and can't see a beautiful woman when she's standing right in front of him'.
"What have we got people" Says House as he moves over to the white board. 'I need to get my mind off of Cameron. God she's so sexy today'.
"We have a new patient. 34-year-old female. She has a movement disorder." Cameron says as she walks over and hands House his coffee then moves to Forman and Chase and does the same then sits down.
"Movement disorder? Fascinating" States House as he writes it on the board. 'This should be easy concentrate on the patient and forget about Cameron'.
"Probably suffered head trauma in the car accident. Trauma leads to the dyskinesia" says Forman as he looks up at House.
"According to her husband, the flailing started before she got anywhere near that car" States Cameron.
"What does the flailing look like?" Asks House
"Her arms spasm uncontrollably and there's a mild facial twitch." Chase says.
"Demonstration?" House asks with a smirk on his face. 'Perfect way to get Cameron off of my mind. Damn it! Focus House!'
"You wanna know what it looks like, go see the patient." Forman says in frustration
"Ooo, snarky. Is he like this all the time?" House says sarcastically
"Patient's been on a fertility regimen for the last 13 months. Excess estrogen in the system could explain…." Cameron says.
"Sudden movement disorder could be a symptom of Huntington's" Forman interrupts Cameron.
"Huntington's takes a day to confirm. We should put her on Tamoxifen in case it is the fertility meds. Counteract the estrogen" says Cameron as she watches House write pregnancy on the board.
"It's a great idea, if you want to kill her baby. Movement disorder can present in the first trimester". States House.
"She's not pregnant." Says Forman as if House is an idiot.
"Peeing on a stick is only 99 accurate. Get a real pregnancy test. You know, the one with the blood and the hormones and the rabbit" House says sarcastically to his team. "Go!" House yells loudly. "Cameron stay here, there's something I want to talk to you about" House quickly says to Cameron before she leaves.
