"Runny nose, fever and cough." House said before placing his index finger to his chin as if he was thinking. "I don't know but that sounds like a cold."
The 50-year-old female patient looked at him as if he was crazy. "No doctor. I don't have a cold. I'm dying."
House sighed deeply, running his hand over his face. "Since you didn't go to any medical school, I don't think you can decide what your diagnosis is."
"But…"
"No, it's just a cold." He emphasized the last word.
The woman opened her mouth to protest some more but kept quiet seeing House glaring at her.
She hoped down the table and walked to the door, jerking it open and stormed through the clinic.
House noted something in the chart and limped to the nurse station.
"11.50 am. Dr House signs out. Please write that down."
A nurse rolled her eyes and did as she was told as House walked out of the clinic.
House went to the elevator to drag his friend to the cafeteria but quickly decided against it. Pushing the bottom the ER, he waited until for the sound to announce that he had arrived.
Stepping out of the elevator, he walked around the ER until he saw the person he was looking for. Standing on the corner, where he stood a few months ago when he found out that she had come back working at PPTH, he watched her treating a patient.
They had been dating for two weeks now. They decided to take it slow and keep their relationship as discreet as possible. Seeing her treating the patient as gentle as she always did, he couldn't help but feel happy. He considered himself lucky that she still wanted him after almost three years and a half and hoped he wouldn't screw anything up.
Feeling someone watching her she looked around and locked eyes with a pair of the most beautiful blue eyes she'd ever seen. She smiled at him and mouthed a 'Wait a minute' before concentrating again on the patient.
After diagnosing a broken leg she called a nurse over to take the patient to his room. The patient thanked her and she said goodbye. Walking to him she smiled. "What are you doing here? It's almost lunchtime. I thought you would already be dragging Wilson to the cafeteria to pay for your lunch."
"Oh, you know me. I can't get enough of my girl." He said winking at her. "Actually I'm here to ask you if you'd like to join me for lunch."
"Well aren't you a lucky one. My lunch break just happens to start now."
He smirked. "Come on. I'll pay. But don't tell it Wilson or anyone else. I have a reputation to keep."
Cameron laughed and followed him to the elevator.
"Got any plans for tonight?" he asked, pushing the bottom to the floor above.
"Yeah, I'm calling Sugar and Spice over so they can entertain me." Seeing her glare at him, he added. "Oh no, that was in the past, now it's you that entertain me."
Cameron rolled her eyes and got out of the elevator. "I'm just asking because my sister asked me to baby-sit my niece for a couple of hours and I thought you'd want to keep me company."
House groaned loudly. "I think I'll pass. Sugar and Spice are way more fun."
Going through the doors of the cafeteria Cameron said. "I wouldn't count on them. I threatened them to leave you alone or they would get some trouble." She winked over her shoulder and went to take her meal.
"Killjoy." He muttered. Taking his own meal, he followed her to the cashier and paid for both their meals, much to the cashier's surprise.
"How long will she be at your place?" he asked her when they sat down on a table in a corner.
"Well it'll depend on how long my sister and her husband will be away, maybe until midnight or more."
House sighed deeply. He wanted to be alone with her. They hadn't been together lately because he had gotten a tough case. If they'd put her niece early to bed maybe he could have finally some time alone with her.
"Ok. I'll come to your place at 6." He said before taking a big bite from his Reuben.
She smiled happily, not asking why the sudden change of mind.
After lunch both got back to work thinking the same thing.
That'll be an interesting night.
The End
Hello : )
First I'm sorry for the late update. I had barely time to write and when I had not one idea came to me. So today I came with this strange end that'll help me to start the sequel.
I hope you liked the chapter and I hope you'll be there for the sequel. : )
