1 More Than Curiosity - Chapter 3
House awoke the next morning only to realize he couldn't move his left arm. Panicking slightly, he tried moving it again, but all it did was twitch and then tingle. His mind immediately jumped to paralysis, but once his mind was no longer clouded over with sleep he scolded himself, 'It's just asleep you moron.' Suddenly very awake, and remembering exactly where he was, he turned slightly and tried to push Cameron off of him without waking her up. No such luck. His leg had just decided to make it's presence known, and he had no way to reach the vicodin in pocket with Cameron pressed so close against him. He sighed, not really wanting to do what he was about to do, and cleared his troat loudly in Cameron's ear. She began to stir instantly.
"Wha?" she mumbled incoherently. A split second later her eyes popped open and she leaped to the other side of the couch, exclaiming, "House! Did I hurt your leg? I'm Sorry I-
House cut her off, "My god, woman, must you shriek at me? It's fine! I just needed my vicodin. He stretched his arms over his head, still not having full use of the left one, and then brought them back down, reaching into his pocket and locating his pill bottle. He tossed one into his mouth and looked at his watch, groaning. He only had one hour to get home and get ready for work. "He stood up slowly. " I better go and get ready for work. If I'm late the evil Cuddy monster will breathe fire all over me. I never liked the smell of burnt flesh so..." He shrugged, and Cameron stood up, opening the front door for him. This wasn't as awkward as it should be.
" See you at work, House." She said. He nodded,
"Don't be late."
She rolled her eyes, muttered "I won't" and waved at him exaggeratedly, closing the door gently in his face.
Standing in front of the closed door in the empty hallway, House shook his head and headed out the front doors of her apartment complex. Revving up the engine of his motorcycle he thought to himself, " What have I gotten myself into?"
A/N: Sorry this chapter is even shorter than usual. When I write these chapters in my journal they always seem so much longer.
Anyway, review review review:)
