'Don't you think it's a bad idea to have Stacy Warner back considering what happened to House last time? He's already more grumpy than he used to be lately.'

I'd be too if you were working with me all the time and asking such questions. D'uh!

'Dr. Cameron I am quite sure that Dr. House can deal with her presence just fine and maybe it moves him to obtain less lawsuits.'

Cuddy would've snorted at her own comment but the face Cameron pulling was already enough.

'I just think that...'

'Dr. Cameron I can assure you that I am able to think on my own. Now if you would please go to clinic and help Dr. Foreman and Chase and complete your clinic hours I'd be more than thankful.'

Cameron stomped of, almost huffing at being reprimanded and Cuddy did not feel an ounce of guilt for smiling to herself. The younger woman definitely had a way of being politely unfriendly.

'You know that it's sexy when bitch at her?'

This time she snorted and rolled her eyes. House had been hiding in her bathroom since Cameron almost walked in on them making out. Just one more coincidence Cuddy didn't need.

'No more coming here and kissing me House!'

It sounded weak in her own ears, maybe due to the fact that his rough lips were already back on her neck, kissing up and down then latching onto her collarbone. She pushed against his chest softly until he let go with a disgruntled look on his face.

'Since when are you a prude?'

'Since your lacky almost walked in on us again. There is one thing I don't need before noon and that is pissed, heartbroken Allison Cameron. By the way shouldn't you be at clinic too?'

Cuddy was was already behind her desk again, putting a fair distance between them.

'I thought sleeping with you would bring me some side benefits.'

House pouted and the waggled his brows.

'Besides the sleeping with me part and getting dinner cooked by me, using my shower, sleeping in my bed which you have just noted this morning, might not be as big as yours or have nice manly bedspreads, but is undeniable soft and awesome to your back?'

She wasn't even looking up throughout her statement, only when she finished her sentence did she raise her eyes to meet his with a no nonsense look.

'You wound me sometimes, degrading us to sex, food and beds.'

'Dito, now go finish your weeks clinics hours, only four more to go and maybe if you're a good boy you'll get a treat tonight.'

'Making promises again and not keeping them?'

'If I remember correctly you got your treat for being on time yesterday.'

House grinned and if it wouldn't have been him he would've probably blushed at the memory attacking him. He nodded silently and send her a wink.

'Be prepared this time it's gonna be more than a full body massage.'

'And you behave today. I don't want more of your Doctors coming here and whining.'

He winked at her and smirked leaving her with a hot and heavy feeling in the pit of her stomach.

'So I heard you went crying to mommy because daddy was mean?'

House gave Cameron a nasty smirk, watching her stomp into another exam room, as she was just about to slam the door in his face he caught it with his cane, grabbed her wrist and made her turn to him, glaring at her truly angered.

'Listen to me Allison, either you stop snooping around in my personal business or I'll be the one to set you straight next time. No more Cuddy and I can imagine she was the good cop. Is that clear?'

Cameron nodded and yanked her arm free, disappearing into the exam room.

As he spun around again he came face to face with Stacy Warner, his face merging from nasty to angered.

'I need you to hand in the evaluation of your team Greg.'

She tried to calm him with a small smile but was almost ran over as he stormed past her. Everyone was watching by now or whispering behind hands. Stacy followed him, persistent as she was.

'I know, when I left, we weren't on the best terms with each other...'

before she could say more he turned around swiftly and stared her down. His face was an angry mask and he was just about to start yelling profanities at her as the well known click-clack made it's way towards him. Cuddys hand was on his arm and softly pulled him away.

'House, just save us some trouble and hand in the damn evaluations. You two don't wanna see each other then at least try to avoid the other.'

Lisa rolled her eyes at Greg's infuriated stare towards Stacy, as if wanting to remind her that this was the evil. She didn't care though, giving Stacy a courteous nod and then walking towards her office.

'You follow me House we need to talk about the files you were supposed to hand in.'

She had yelled at him again, trying to reason with him to try to avoid Stacy and for once just do his work. She even threatened him with a cut back on the sleepovers, begged him to just stay away from Stacy. After Lisa had finished her rant he had simply leaned down and kissed her deeply. When in need for air she broke the sensual embrace reluctantly and then scowled at him.

'We had agreed on keeping this away from work.'

'Actually you agreed not me. I actually believe this is the best way to relive both our stress.'

Stealing another kiss he grinned against her mouth before she could shove him back.

'Stop it House.'

Cuddy sighed and then went around her desk putting order in the files her assistant put on it.

'And don't forget to bring the stuff from the grocery list or you won't have anything to eat tonight.'

She actually had to smile, if only a little. Greg stood with a pout, leaning heavily on his cane.

'Hmph fine. But I'm clearing out earlier to go grocery shop and you can't stop me.'
