Sorry if I made you wait. This is final chapter I hope you enjoy it…
House remain there, still, rewinding everything that was said, he wanted to believe that Wilson was right, but something inside him scream that it was a terrible idea(!!!), that it would never work… He knew, although, that his doubts had one only source: fear… and he hated been afraid… He remain thinking, listening to his friend over and over again, until he felt like his mind had shut down… he could only hear far away echoes of what Wilson had said… "Just don't think too much…" … … "if you didn't loose her already…" … … "She won't wait forever…" then the echoes came closer and he could hear clearly… "She won't wait forever…" … … "she won't wait forever…"
He, suddenly, came back to reality, she wouldn't wait?? There was no way to know for sure…, and he wasn't willing to risk loosing her, so he decided he needed to make a decision, but what???
He was tired, he was there for hours and now the clock was near 3 o' clock in the morning…, he though about sleeping and deciding everything on the next day, but he wouldn't be able to sleep, and didn't want to sleep. Besides, sleeping meant dreaming about her again and as much as it was good having her in his dreams it was awful waking up alone.
He picked up the phone, decided to call her, ignoring what time it was he started to dial her number (he didn't knew why or how he memorized her number), but he stopped…
He decided that it wasn't a subject to discuss at the phone. So before he could give up or lost the courage (or both) he picked up his keys and his jacket and walk as fast as he could to the door.
The ride to her house seamed interminable. Terrifying thoughts haunted his mind all the way… "What if she rejected him?"… or worst "what if Chase was there?". He ignored the fear that grew inside him. He didn't knew what was going to happened, or what he would say to her when he reached his destiny, but, something inside him was telling him that he needed to see her…
Sometime latter, there he was, standing in front of her apartment's door, thinking if he should knock … or not…
He stood there for a little longer, afraid to do a simple action, and then he finally knock. He didn't know what had made him do it, maybe a bit of courage he had store somewhere, maybe it was just gravity… It didn't matter the reason,… he had knock…, and now there he was waiting, scared as a child, and waiting…
He finally heard steps on the other side of the door…, he wait anxiously, praying for it to be more then only his imagination, until the steps were really close. Then he was sure that it wasn't his imagination, it was real, and so she finally opened the door…
"Hi" was all he could manage to say, her vision standing there in front of him, wearing only her nightgown left him speechless.
"House" she started skeptic "Do you know what time it is??" she ask trying to look annoyed, "It's 3 o' clock in the morning!!! What the hell are you doing here?" She was extremely surprised with his appearance at her door so late, however she was certain that he was only joking with her, that he was just going to make some sarcastic comment, teased her and leave,… hurting her.
"I … hmm…" he started more unsecured that he had ever been his whole life, "… I… needed to talk… to you…"
For a few moments Cameron remain silenced, she had no idea of what to say. She was completely shocked with what she had just heard, and with the vulnerability in his voice. So, afraid that he was going to leave she whispered "and…" and continued to stare at those blue eyes…
"Are you alone?" he asked, because he didn't wanted to declared his love (he still doubted he could do it) and then find out that Chase was sleeping in her bed (by the way just imagining it was to painful).
The question sounded ridiculous to her… "if she was alone" of course she was alone! It was 3 o'clock in the morning why would she have anyone with her!!! In that moment, standing looking into his blue eyes, she really couldn't understand what he wanted to know, because in that moment, for her, only existed the to of then and nobody else matter.
"Of course I'm alone !!!!" she answered, " You knock at my door in the middle of the night and ask me if I'm alone??" she continued not realizing that her logic was absurd.
"I thought that … that…" he didn't want to say, but there wasn't any other way… "I thought Chase may be here…"
"Chase???" she ask still confused, and then finally understand why he was asking that, "No he isn't here, I'm alone…"
"Good" he said relieved …, but something inside him still wasn't pleased, " Are you two dating?" he ask and then regret, because he wasn't sure he could stand the answer.
"No" he said immediately, still confused with the way the conversation was going. She knew she didn't have to explain anything to him, but it was stronger than she… "What we had wasn't serious and…"
"Had??" he interrupted, for her surprised almost smiling.
"Had" she confirmed, "like I said it didn't mean anything, and…" she noticed that now he was really smiling "now it is over, we had a fight this afternoon…" over you by the way, she added mentally.
"Hm …" he thought about saying 'I'm sorry', but he didn't feel that way, he was in fact very pleased to hear it.
"House, you said you wanted to say something to me…" She said fearing the answered, but, it didn't matter anymore if he was going to hurt her or not, she needed to hear what he had to say, or she will wonder what it was for the rest of her life.
"Allison..." the sound of his voice saying her first name made both of then freeze, he had never call her by her first name before, however, it seamed to him that the situation call for a little more intimacy. "Allison,…" he repeated " I… I came here to tell you…" but his voice failed and he couldn't say anything else.
"Tell me WHAT, House???" she lost her patience "if this is some kind of joke…" her eyes filled with tears, and he hated himself for making her cry, she was going to continued, but he interrupted her.
"Alisson, shut up!!" he said, more annoyed with himself then with her, "I came here to tell you that I love you!!!!... to tell you that I want another shot with you, to tell you that I really need you!!!" he was really stunned with everything he had just said, but not as stunned as she was. "Are you happy now?"
She smiled 'cause she never been so happy her whole life. "Yes, I'm very happy…" Cameron ask herself if that was truly happening, if it wasn't just a joke, but she knew it was for real because of the way he was looking at her now.
Then they came closer to each other, he took her into his arms, …and it's hard to tell who kiss who…, and when they were finally apart , she ask him if he wanted to come in…
"I thought you never ask…". He answered happy as he hadn't been for many years, if he had been happy like this before…
"O que não tem fim, sempre acaba assim..."
(The phrase in Portuguese means "what has no end always ends like this", it's from a song of a Brazilian band called "Engenheiros do Hawaii" (something like Hawaii Engineers in English)
