Cameron arrived around 8 pm at PPTH. Standing in the lobby, she was amazed at how beautiful everything was decorated. The hearts and roses from this morning were still there with a bar and a buffet, which had been placed at the late afternoon. She looked around trying to find someone she knew when she noticed Cuddy waving her over. Cameron walked up to her and a man in his mid thirties. He had some resemblances with Cuddy so Cameron assumed he might be her brother. He had short black hair and blue green eyes. He was a little bit taller than Cuddy and was very handsome, like Cuddy had told.

"Dr. Cameron this is my brother Max Cuddy. Max this is Dr. Allison Cameron." Cuddy introduced both one another.

Cameron smiled and stuck her hand out for him to shake. "It's nice to meet you."

Max took her hand, brought it to his lips, and placed a kiss at the back of it. "The pleasure is all mine."

"I see you haven't stopped flirting with women you can never get."

All three heads turned to the voice.

"House, it's nice to see you again." Max greeted him. He knew House from the time his sister was dating him in college. Nobody knew about their past relationship but some people suspected a shared history.

"House where's your date?" Cuddy asked looking around. "Don't forget that if you're here alone I'll give you a few more clinic hours."

"She got lost." He replied. Looking at Cameron, he let his gaze go over her body. "Cinderella came without prince charming. Why aren't you saying anything to her?" House whined at Cuddy.

"Cameron may be come alone but she has a date with Max." Cuddy clarified.

"Couldn't find a woman without your sister's help?" House smirked.

Before Max had a chance to defend himself, the DJ announced.

"Ladies and gentlemen now is the time for our first slow dance for tonight. Men take your dates to the dance floor and show us some love."

"Allison would you like to dance with me?" Max asked extended her his arm so she could link hers to his.

Cameron hesitated a moment before answering. "Sure, why not."

Max smiled at her and both walked to the dance floor, which was in the middle of the lobby.

House followed Cameron with his eyes before going to the bar and order the first of five scotches. This didn't go unnoticed by Cuddy.

"What's wrong with House?" Amber asked Wilson. He looked at his friend as sighed at the view. He was all alone and drinking a lot.

"I'll go talk to him." Wilson said and got up. She nodded and gave him a kiss. "Good luck."

Wilson chuckled.

-

"Is it that bad?" Wilson asked as he took a seat next to House.

"Is what bad?"

"Seeing her dancing with someone else."

House didn't reply which Wilson took as a 'yes'.

"Why don't you ask her to dance with you?" Wilson suggested.

"Why would I do that? I don't even like her."

"That's bullshit and you know it." Wilson almost yelled.

House glared at him before looking back down at his joined hands holding the glass in the middle. "Maybe it is." He whispered. Wilson almost didn't hear it but he did.

House turned in his seat so that his back was touching the bar and looked at Cameron dancing with Max. He couldn't help but feel a little bit jealous. He wanted to dance with her.

Cameron on the other hand was trying to concentrate on dancing. She still hadn't figured out who her mysterious admirer was and it was slowly driving her insane. Now she was feeling someone staring at her. Max began to turn them and now she saw who was staring at her.

Her emerald green eyes met his ocean blue.

They eyes locked until the contact broke with Max moving both of them again.

When Max looked at House he was met with a deathly glare.
