Chapter Six
Hospital – Cafeteria
Cameron and Cuddy are left in the cafeteria shocked. Cuddy turns to Cameron with confusion on her face and says "Doctor Cameron……Can you please explain to me what just happened?" Cameron's mind suddenly clicks and she looks up at Cuddy with a worried look on her face. "Lisa, it only happened last night I was going to tell you. I'm sorry these last twenty-four hours have been crazy" Cameron replies rushing her words because of her nervousness.
Cuddy sits down and places her hand on Cameron. "Calm down sweetie" She laughs, "I knew this was going to happen eventually. I'm not stupid, I see the way he looks at you" She says in a sisterly voice. "The only thing is, you have to keep work and your relationship separate or I will have to transfer you. It's the rules. Oh and your expected in the clinic as well" Cuddy says in a stern voice. She then exits the room. 'She never lets loose for a second that woman' Cameron thinks to herself as she moves towards the clinic.
Clinic – Exam Room
Cameron walks up to the front desk after a few hours of working in the clinic and asks the first Nurse she sees's what room is Dr House in. "Exam room one" The nurse replies with boredom in her voice. Cameron mumbles a thank you and enters exam room one. She is met with House and a patient sitting together watching General Hospital on his portable television. They don't hear her enter. "Do you guys want to be alone, cause I can leave" Cameron says with a smile on her face.
"Cameron so great you could join us. Did the evil witch force you into clinic duty?" House says as he pats the space in between him and his patient. She moves over and sits next to them. She stares at the random patient as if he was ruining a moment. "As soon as this exam is over he has to return to his bitch of a wife and I have to return to work. It's a win, win situation" House says as he takes her hand and looks back at the television. He leans closer to her and whispers in her ear "What did she say?"
"Pretty much if we screw around at work, I'm fired!" She says as she watches General Hospital intently. "Oww……She's no fun! She must be jealous. She gets like that. What can I say I'm pretty hot!" In a conceited, sarcastic voice. Cameron giggles and slaps his shoulder. He smiles. "What do you think about Chinese?" House asks randomly.
"Is that an invitation for dinner I hear?" Cameron flirts with him. "'Cause, I might have other plan tonight. With my boyfriend. So I might have to do a rain check" She says cheekily. House raises his eyebrows and replies. "Meet me at my office at five". House leaves the exam room. Both Cameron and the patient are still in the room. "Are you here for anything other than getting away from your wife?" Cameron Asks. Patient shrugs his shoulders and they continue watching.
Hospital – House's Office
It's now nine at night and all four doctors have only just finished work. Cameron and House enter his office, picks up their possessions and start to make their way out of the hospital.
"It took us ages to figure this one out, and it was all because of the pill. Why does a person do this to someone they supposedly love" Cameron says as she pushes the button for the elevator. "Everybody lies Cameron, they can't help it. It's second nature" House replies. Cameron turns her focus to House and they lock eyes "If everyone lies….What about you? Are you lying to me right now?" Cameron says accusation in her voice. Before he can answer the doors to the elevator open and they both step in side. He turns at looks at her "Cameron, I don't do this kind of thing. I'm not use to it. Just give me time. I'm giving you all I can at the moment" House says with anger in his voice.
"I'm sorry, don't be angry at me. You denied me for two years. What am I supposed to think? Am I not aloud to be worried?" Cameron explains to House. Surprising Cameron, House turns towards her and kisses per passionately again. They don't notice the doors open, or see Forman and Chase staring gob smacked at them. When they come up for air. "Chase don't you have Cameron's paper work to do before you leave" House says with a smirk as he and Cameron walk arm around each other to his car. She mutters to him as they leave "House I think I should go back to my apartment tonight" He stops walking and looks at her with a questionable glance. "I just need to think…Don't worry about it. Can you drop me over to my place?" Cameron asks hesitantly.
Cameron's Apartment – Out front
When they reach the house Cameron opens her care door and steps out "Thanks for the ride. I'll talk to you later". She shuts the door and starts to walk up the steps to her apartment. He rolls down the window and calls out her name. "Cameron……I….ah have a good weekend. Call if you need anything". Before she can reply he has wound his window up and is driving off. She continues to walk up the stairs to her apartment.
Cameron's Apartment – Bedroom
It's four in the morning and Cameron is lying awake in her bed. She reaches her hand over to the phone and start dialing a number. She brings the phone to her ear and waits for a reply. "House" He replies grumpily. "Ah…It's me" She says nervously. "Can you come over" She says weakly.
His reply was "I'll be right up". There is suddenly a knock on her door and she goes to answer it. 'Was he waiting outside my apartment all night'? "Greg" She says as he draws her into a hug. She repeatedly whispers in his ear "I'm sorry" as tears fall down her face. He grabs her hand and drags her over to the couch and lays her head on his lap. He stokes her hair until they both fall asleep from exhaustion.
Cameron's Apartment – Living Room
Cameron is the first one to wake up. She quietly stands and moves towards the kitchen. She passes a mirror on the way and sees her appearance. "God, I look disgusting" she laughs out loud, as she goes to make coffee. Arms slip around her and hugs her from behind, She leans into him. "I think you look hot!" House replies to her earlier comment. She hands him a coffee and the both stand against the counter in silence. "Look about last night….I'm just not used to seeing the 'soft' you, it's strange" She says to him while sipping her coffee. "It's fine, just don't let it happen again" he says in a stern sarcastic voice. She laughs. Suddenly Cameron's phone starts ringing. She picks up. "Yeah, we'll be right there…..(She hangs up) We have a new case".
