A/N: Sorry guys! This chapter took me forever! I had a very hard week to deal with…
Thank you so much for your reviews! I'm feeling so happy: D
I was reading my story when I found out that there are lots of mistakes! I'm sorry! I'll try to correct them!
In the meantime…here's chapter number six…
Cuddy would have strangled House.
Pitt was not so happy himself. He had invited House just to be kind. He didn't really want him to be with them.
House was spending one of the greatest times of his life.
"House, don't you have that thing to do?" She said with wild eyes trying to convince him to go away.
"Which thing Cuddy?"
Cuddy glared at him. "That thing"
House looked at her as if she was an alien and then he ignored her question. "I'm so free tonight! Thanks for offering me the meal, Jeffry."
"I…uh…" Jeffry didn't know what to say. He had put himself in troubles. He just didn't know how much…!
As House sit between Cuddy and Jeffry, the waiter came back to their table.
"May I bring you something else?"
"Yes please. I'd like this fabulous wine of yours. I'm sure you, Jeffry, want to offer this delicious wine to this delicious woman." House said looking at Mr. Pitt.
Jeffry took the suggestion immediately. "Of course!"
House smiled at him completely aware of the effect he was having on both Jeffry and Cuddy: he was giving Jeffry some "hope" and Cuddy a reason to become a murderer.
"Sure." Answered the waiter.
House looked at the piece of meat still present on Jeffry's tooth. "I see you already had the antipasti so…I'll take the Chef's Steak with sauce." He said enjoying the evening even more.
Cuddy looked at House shocked. He had just ordered the most expensive meal of the restaurant!
Jeffry started sweating. This dinner was costing him a lot!
"I'll take Sam's delight." Jeffry said choosing the chicken.
"What about you, Miss?" the waiter kindly asked.
"Just a salad for me, thanks."
"What? Lisa, please, choose everything you want. What about Sam's delight for you, too?" He had that dumbly expression of him on his face while his voice got higher.
Cuddy's eyes fell again on his tooth and before she could answer him, she heard House's voice.
"Oh, no Jeffry. You see, Lisa here is a veggie." He said as if talking to a five year-old.
"Oh…"
The waiter could sense a strange atmosphere hanging on their table so he left.
Don't leave me here alone! Lisa thought, not taking her eyes off of the young waiter.
"So Jeffry what kind of work are you in?"
"I'm a financial adviser."
House looked at him as if he was the strangest "thing" he had ever seen. He hated financial advisers. (A/N: Hugh Laurie hates them:P)
"A financial adviser? And why did you attend the medical convention last week?"
What the hell? He thought.
"My cousin is an oncologist. I was visiting him in New York and he invited me to the convention."
"Ah…Understood."
The waiter came back with a bottle of wine.
Jeffry poured some wine in Lisa's glass which she took very gladly.
"Well it's always good having a financial adviser in family; don't you think that too, Cuddy?"
Cuddy simply glared at House.
After an awkward moment of silence House spoke, again.
"You have to be a very rich man if you want to invest your money in Cuddy's baby!"
"House!" Lisa warned him.
"What?" House was playing with fire.
Then he turned to Jeffry, who seemed to be very puzzled.
"Baby? I didn't know you were a mother!"
"Huh?" Lisa wanted to hit violently her head on the table. "No, Jeffry! House meant my hospital…" she explained. I can't believe he's so dense!
"Oh!"
House just wanted to burst in laughter at this, and surely Mr. Pitt's expression wasn't helping him.
Cuddy took a very long sip of her wine hoping to disappear in the oblivion of the alcohol.
"Anyway, I am." Jeffry said.
"Are what?" House hoped this evening could last forever.
"Rich. I am very rich….I'm the heir of a very big amount of money." He said suggestively.
"You know, I really like thick hair." House told him taking a look at Jeffry's hairpiece.
When the waiter came to the table with their meals, Cuddy had already drunk her fifth glass of wine. She couldn't handle House and Mr. Pitt at the same time without some alcohol.
House watched closely Jeffry eating his chicken. He was really funny to look at. "A cartoon character" he thought.
Cuddy was being too much quiet. She wasn't really paying attention to what House was saying so she tried to listen at him, even if the alcohol was having its effect on her.
"…and Cuddy loves kids!" She could tell House wasn't giving Pitt the possibility to talk.
Then she felt very embarrassed when she heard House questioning Jeffry after a moment of silence.
" Do you like kids, Jeffry?"
Enough!!! "Excuse me, Jeffry. I'm going to the ladies." With that she got up and left the two men alone at the table.
Of course House stared at her ass captured by her delicate way of swaying.
Jeffry swallowed when he saw the way House smirked at him.
"So Jeffry…where were we?"
Review review review!!
PS: I'm having an idea for another Huddy fanfiction. I got inspired from the episodes "Mirror, mirror" and "Whatever it takes". Hope to write soon. :D
