Dinner was an uneventful occasion and it reminded House of too many nights with his parents. Allison was a nervous wreck. Heck, he would be too if it wasn't for the three shots of scotch and the two vicodin that he took about thirty minutes before she came over.
"Thanks for inviting me. This is actually the longest I've stayed in your house for more than a few minutes." Allison rambled. House just continued to stare at her with those intense blue eyes. Almost like he was picking her apart.
Allison jumped when he moved and put his glass of scotch down. "Now, this isn't going to work very well Dr. Cameron if you jump like every time I move."
"What isn't going to work?"
"We, as in you and me, are going to have sex." House said as he stood up from his chair and came to stand in front of her while she still sat at the table.
"Oh."
"Not quite the answer that I was looking for." House said as he reached for her hand, "But at least you didn't run out the door. Guess I can put the morphine away."
Allison let him pull her up to meet him and they shared a kiss, when they broke apart Allison was breathless. If her mind's eye she could feel him pull her towards the bedroom.
The way his sheets felt, she wondered how someone with a "bum" leg could move that well in time with her. Then the lights came and all that she could see were those blue eyes bearing down on her. Pleasure and pain, she was scared but happy.
And then she let it go, all the pain and heartache. The denial, the hurt filled words. How far he pushed her away, only to have him pull her back with equal force. They were one.
In the end of the night only one lingering question plagued their minds,
"What is going to happen next?"
Hmd Hmd Hmd Hmd"Bored." Hannah said as she flopped on the coach to turn on the television.
The stations turned in a flurry, each channel getting more boring. "Maybe I'll watch Dateline."
About 30 minutes into the broadcast, a notable physician came on the television to talk about the effects that office relationships have in even the most prestigious of hospitals.
Hannah watched with wide eyes as pictures of doctors made passes at each other in video surveillance photos, images began to fill her mind of her own pair of doctors.
"Oh my god!" Hanna said as she shut off the television. "I so do not need to be thinking about that."
She slid off the couch and crawled to the DVD cabinet. After a few minutes, she decided on The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.
While the movie was running through the previews, she got up and into the kitchen. A bowl of Ritz, spinach dip, cookies and soda later she sat on the floor to start the movie when the doorbell rang.
Standing to get to the door, she looked in the peephole and rolled her eyes.
"Mother's." She sighed as she opened the door. Upon opening the door, she smirked at Foreman, Wilson, and Chase standing at the door.
"So, who called who?"
"Cameron." Foreman and Chase said at the same time.
Wilson opened his mouth and closed it, "You really don't want to know, trust me."
"Well, I am fine and I am about to watch a movie if anyone wants to watch be drool over Orlando Bloom."
Foreman and Chase looked at each other and sighed, "Cameron will kill us if we don't at least stay long enough for her to call and check on you."
"Aha Babysitters, got it." Hannah said, letting them pass her. "Wilson?"
"After what I just experienced, I think I can handle some drool."
"Well, since we have a group. I'm going to call Lila and see if she wants to come over and watch the movies." She said as she went to the kitchen. "If you want a drink or something, its in the fridge."
"I'm going to get some pizza." Foreman said. Once Hannah was in the kitchen on the phone, he sighed and looked at Chase and Wilson.
"I know I didn't sign up to baby-sit in my job interview, even if it's getting me out of clinic duty."
"She's not that bad." Chase said as he watched the television. After a few minutes he noticed the other doctors staring at him. "What?"
Foreman just chuckled and shook his head, "Cameron would kill you and I think you have some tough competition."
"Pft. That kid has nothing on me." Chase said before catching himself, "If I was interested in her that is. Look, she Cameron's daughter, I wouldn't do anything with her."
"I don't think it would be Cameron he would have to worry about Foreman, it's House." Wilson said, as he went to the kitchen to get a drink.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Chase huffed as he looked at Foreman.
"Hey! Lila will be over here in a few minutes. Can we hold the movie until she gets here?" Hannah said, as Wilson followed her with the drinks to the living room.
Chase froze and Foreman started laughing, "Weird. You two, very weird."
Hannah put the drinks down and went back in the kitchen. Wilson sat on the coach and laughed to himself, "Yeah, I think Cameron is not the one you need to worry about Chase."
Hmd Hmd Hmd"Work is going to be weird."
"Weirder than normal?"
"Yes, weirder than.. SMACK will you stop that?"
House looked up at her and smirked, "And they say I have no bedside manner."
He resumed kissing her stomach and she rolled her eyes and laid her head on the pillow. It was easier to just let House do what he wants then to fight him anyways.
"Do you think you might want to move in?" Allison asked, with her hand over her eyes. When House stopped and seemed to freeze, she looked down at him.
He may have been just watching her but she could see the gears roll in his head.
"You don't have to think about it, I was just wondering." Allison said, supplying a response for him. When she felt his lips on her stomach again, she laid her head back again.
"Take some of my clinic hours and sleep with me again, I could be swayed into it." House said as he descended lower, under the covers.
"Give me a raise and I might let you stay in my room." Allison supplied with a light laugh, as she felt him grip her harder.
She felt him laugh and come up to kiss her. He held her tightly and began to move against her. "Done."
Allison looked into his eyes and could tell that he was completely serious, "House.. I"
"Shush, let's work on this raise now, instead."
Hmd Hmd HmdTrue to her word, Lila showed up in 10 minutes. After a few hours of the movie the phone rang.
Hannah moved to get up and go to the phone when Wilson stopped her with a wave of his hand.
"I'll get it." Wilson said.
"Hello." Wilson said into the receiver.
"Oh good, one of you is over there." Came a feminine voice.
"Actually we are all here since it is Saturday and we have nothing to do." Wilson said.
"Alright, let Hannah know that I will be home tomorrow morning. We have to have a talk."
"What? Is he moving in already?" Wilson chuckled; he stopped chuckling after a few minutes of silence. "I was kidding. Oh my god, he's not is he?"
After a few minutes of silence and a hard slap in the background, Cameron was back on the phone.
"Thanks Wilson. We will see Hannah tomorrow."
Wilson stared at the receiver and walked back to the room. He picked up his coffee and began to watch the movie.
"How did it go?" Hannah asked, not looking up at the movie.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you."
"What, is he planning on moving in?" Hannah joked.
It took everything Wilson had inside to not choke on his coffee.
