Disclaimer: I don't own House or its characters Fox does tho, I just used them shamelessly for this snippet.

The alarm rang loudly at seven and Lisa slapped it into snooze groaning tiredly. As soon as she opened her eyes and took in her surroundings, remembering where she was, a smile broke out on her face. She stretched, feeling the aches in all the right places. Greg lay next to her snoring gently, untroubled by the alarm, a smirk prominent on his lips. She leaned over and kissed his cheek before rolling out of bed and sauntering into the bathroom and getting ready for work.

Half an hour later Cuddy was preparing breakfast when House strolled in slumping in to the chair across the table. She set coffee before him and half of her sandwich.

'Morning.'

Before she could round the table again Greg had her pulled onto his lap sideways, kissing her deeply.

'Morning Cuddles.'

After pecking him once again she stood up and gathered her things.

'Are you going to be here for lunch today?'

It wasn't that he hadn't enjoyed time with Wilson but he hoped for a little more than a sandwich for Lunch and he told her with a lecherous glance down her top.

'I can't. I have a board meeting about finances.'

'You would be there rather than being with me?'

A pout with quivering lip almost had her undone, she turned away at the right moment and pulled on her coat. He stood, looking down at her smirking.

'C'mon Lisa, you know you want to.'

Cuddy walked backwards while House kissed her, sucking at her lower lip, his teeth grazing her tongue, hands squeezing her hips. Somehow she succeeded in steering him to the door, with a fast move she grabbed for the doorknob behind her and turned it, the door opening wide.

'Oh my God!'

Somewhere in his fuzzy brain House registered that it could not have been Cuddy uttering the words due to the fact that her lips were pressed firmly to his. But what really gave it away was that it sounded a lot like his female protégé Dr. Cameron.

Lisa jumped in his arms, eyes wide and swollen lips half open while House looked at the young woman in his door annoyed. Cameron held a deli bag in one hand and two coffee's in the other.

'Thanks for bringing me and Lisa breakfast but we already ate.'

Cuddy stood stock still, Cameron flinched and then blushed and House groaned.

'I am sorry Dr. Cuddy, I only wanted to bring Dr. House some food since he's been sick and...'

Trailing off she finally looked up at her two superiors feeling more than ashamed.

She sat hiding in her office for most of the day, ashamed that Allison Cameron had seen them in such a compromising position, the only one of the Ducklings Lisa knew couldn't be dealt with. She waited for the younger Dr to burst into her office screaming 'bloody murder', half expected one of her colleagues barge in, annoyed at infinite grumpyness and tantrums. None of that happened however, which told her House had somehow taken care of it.

The question left was if she would like the way he dealt with it. She jolted as it knocked, she had her office blinds drown but knew that the intimidated knocking could only come from one puppy oncologist. Sighing she went to the door and unlocked it then swung it wide open, leaving Wilson look shocked on the other side.

'What?!'

It made him duck and flinch.

'I just wanted to know if it already reached you?'

Lisa felt a twitch of fear, had she heard what? Had House done something in clinic? Apparently Wilson wasn't about to answer since he was staring intently at his shoes.

'Well what is it?'

'2 hours ago Cameron and House started a screaming match, which Cameron lost. She's in clinic now and frankly she scares the patients. The rest of House's staff try to avoid him and he is somewhere but not in his office.'

She sighed and let herself slump down into the cushions of her couch. Rubbing her face warily she tried to imagine what House could've said and how many people could've heard. It was a nightmare.

'You want to know what this was all about ?'

Jimmy sat down in an armchair and looked at her with a smirk behind a pitiful stare.

'We both know that I know what the screaming was about.'

She answered with a snort. Wilson tried the encouraging smile.

'So it's true then? Cameron found you two making out as she knocked on House's door?'

She could've killed him. He knew it was true, he knew all along an still he asked stupid questions.

'What do you think? Even Cameron doesn't make such stuff up. How many people heard?'

He touched her shoulder reassuring.

'Don't worry he told her to keep it down or there would be consequences. I only witnessed because I was there to bring him a patients file.'

To say Cuddy was relieved was an understatement.

Cameron had just cleared another patient and wanted to leave for her coffee break. She threw away what she had used in the exam room and then washed her hands. As she was just about to turn and leave the door opened and then clicked shut.

'No patients, wait outside until you're told which exam room.'

Allison was annoyed to hell with patients and their forwardness and especially their almost non existent deadly deceases.

'Is this how you talk to possible patients?'

She turned abruptly to see Cuddy leaning against the door. Huffing she went back to scrub her hands again, Cuddy was the last person she wanted to see.

'You want to tell me Dr Cameron why several complaints have been filed against you?'

Lisa didn't think to get an answer but what made her even more angry was that she had to talk to the younger womans back. It was rude and no way to treat your superior.

'I think we have some talking to do Allison.'

Once again Cameron turned, mind set on walking out on Cuddy, until she noticed that the Dean of Medicine had locked the door behind her back.
