OK, I have a confession. I know I said I live in Australia, but I went on the net and looked up the upcoming eps of House, so I know all! Aaargh! I kind now wish I didn't but what's done is done. Sooooooo in my fanfic we are going to imagine that
Stacy and House DID NOT kiss at Baltimore, was it? (snog, pash, French whatever you call it in America). Oh can someone tell me, did they kiss for like 5 seconds and break apart and apologise type thing OR full-on make out and then sleep together, coz they don't really give details on the Fox site. (And I am not asking for perverse-minded reasons, it just helps my story!)
Should I keep the Cameron-sleeping-with-Chase-while-she-was-high-on-crystal-meth saga? I think I will, to make thing more interesting, but Chase is NOT gonna still have a thing for Cameron. But anyway just forget this part.
OH, and I apologise to any Australians who did not know the above things. At least now you're prepared. Hmm, I'll put a warning sign up, eh?
"I'm hungry," House announces, barging into Wilson's office.
"Well it's good to see you too," Wilson says not looking up for his paperwork.
"How much?" Wilson asks sighing.
"Oh, Dr Wilson I am appalled. You think I'm only friends with you to score a free lunch?" House says, pretending to be hurt.
"There's no such thing as a free lunch," Wilson says getting up.
-------------------------------------
"How come you always get more fries than me?" Wilson says stealing a chip off House.
"Better karma?" House suggests nonchalantly.
"Are you gonna tell me why you dragged me down here?" Wilson asks.
"It's lunchtime. I thought you deserved a good, tasteful gourmet meal," House says.
"We're sitting in the hospital cafeteria eating greasy burgers," Wilson points out.
"You look undernourished," House says idly.
"House," Wilson says, looking at him.
"I kissed Stacy
Wilson chokes on his coffee.
"Hmm, maybe I shouldn't have told you…" House says pretending to be thoughtful.
"What?" Wilson cries, recovering from his incident. "Why?"
"Since when were you so monosyllabic?" House pondered.
"Why'd you do it?" Wilson asks.
"I…needed to know," House says.
"Yes, I am fully understanding this situation. You needed to know what? Whether she'd file for a restraining order against you?" Wilson says in disbelief.
"Ha," House replies.
The two men are quiet for a while, lost in their own thoughts.
Why the Hell did I do it? House asks him himself.
To find out if you still have feelings for her, you moron. Another voice said in his head.
It was a bit stupid.
It's Kimee's fault.
She said 'find out' not go kiss Stacy.
So, do
you still have feelings for Stacy?
…
Well?
No…
What about Cameron?
I…I don't know.
You have to. She's not gonna be around forever.
I know.
Come on!
Why would she like me?
Ask her.
Sigh Why am I talking to myself?
"House?" Wilson asks.
"Do you… think Cameron still likes me?" House asks, trying to keep his voice even half light and jerk-esque.
"Why?" Wilson asks suspiciously.
"Just tell me," House says, annoyed.
"Honestly, yes. You don't think she'd get over you that easily, do you? You're too irresistible," Wilson says, jokingly of course.
"Yeah, I know all those nurses are secretly into me," House says, with mock-arrogance, though he usually does act conceited
"House," Wilson says seriously. "She still has feelings for you,"
"She says otherwise," House says.
"You pushed her away! Like you do with everyone in you life," Wilson says reprovingly, almost angrily.
When House doesn't reply, he sighs slowly.
"Do you ever think that everyone in your life who puts up with you and your miserable bitterness, and still hang around after all of your crap, might actually care about you?" Wilson asks him.
"Out of care or out of pity," House snarls back.
"You think Cameron likes you out of pity?" Wilson says half snorting in incredulity. "House you are unbelievable. Cameron can have any guy she wanted yet she wants you. She wouldn't put her heart on the line like she has unless she really cared," Wilson says.
House doesn't say anything and Wilson just sighs and leaves House sitting by himself.
After awhile he gets up slowly and he leaves too.
-------------------------------------------
It was the end of the day and they had solved the case. Chase and Foreman had already left, and Cameron was going through reports at her desk and House was in his office, throwing a ball and thinking…
TBC…
Haha! My first cliff-hanger type thing. Hope you liked it. Not my best work I admit, I prefer, the first few ones I did- it was the holidays then and had more spare time on my hands. Excuse the lack of Max's diagnosis, I just could not be bothered. I also notice that his liver and kidney were both shutting down. Is that possible? Wait, have I already said that? Whatever.. Oh, last thing, I got a poll for everyone out there.
