Chapter 5

Cameron sat in her office, slowly replaying the events from last night in her head. Cameron knew she wanted to be with Thirteen, but the move she made last night was the dumbest thing she has done in a long while.

I can't believe I just took off, I'm such an idiot.

Cameron sighed and rubbed her temples lightly. The decision of walking away after kissing Thirteen was stupid, and she was aware of that. She didn't want to hurt Thirteen in any way, she wanted to do the total opposite, she wanted to make her happy. Cameron wished she could re-live the moment over again, so that she wouldn't screw up.

The paper work on her desk was in a big pile. The work was staring her in the face. Cuddy wanted the paper work done by the end of the day. Cameron didn't want to do the paper work, it was the one thing she dreaded about being the head of the ER. Her eyes felt heavy and she was exhausted, because she twisted and turned most of the night. Cameron glanced at the clock and sighed.

Thirteen walked into the differential room, she had just finished testing their new patient.

House gave Thirteen a smile, as she sat down.

"What?" She asked

Thirteen didn't have the patience today to deal with House and his games.

"Nothing" House said.

Thirteen glared at him and furrowed her brows. He obviously had something to say, but she didn't have the energy to drag it out of him.

The sound of the clock was the only thing they both could hear, in the silence. Thirteen looked up at the clock. Kutner and Taub weren't back with the other test results yet so she decided that while she waited for them to get back, she would visit someone she had been wanting to talk.

House blocked the door, so Thirteen couldn't leave.

"Excuse me" she said, trying the polite approach.

"Where are you going?"

"Move" she said, ignoring House's question.

"Are you going to go see a certain hot, blonde doctor that you obviously have the hots for"

House smiled mischievously.

"Where I'm going, is none of your business"

"You didn't deny it, So I'm guessing I was right"

A satisfied smile surfaced on his face.

Thirteen glared at him again.

"Move"

House still smiled as he stepped aside.

Thirteen stormed out of the room, clearly annoyed.

Cameron glanced up at the clock. The day was going by slow, or at least it felt like it.

Thirteen lightly knocked on Cameron's office door, immediately after she knocked she walked in. She closed the door behind her.

Cameron looked up from her work. Thirteen looked at her for a while before saying something.

"We need to talk" Thirteen said in an emotionless tone.

Cameron stood up and slowly walked over to Thirteen.

"Okay" Cameron whispered.

"last night I-"

"I'm sorry" Cameron said, cutting Thirteen off.

"Let me finish"

Cameron nodded.

"Last night I understood why you left, but I wish you hadn't"

"I'm sorry" Cameron mumbled.

Thirteen laughed.

"Don't be sorry, I can be pretty understanding at times. Even though it might not seem like it"

Thirteen's corners of her mouth turned upwards.

Cameron smiled and grabbed Thirteen's hand.

Before she could stop herself the words came out. "I wanna be with you"

Thirteen's face went blank. She hadn't expected that, but a part of her wanted to hear Cameron say that.

Thirteen looked into Cameron's eyes. The way the light in the office reflected off of Cameron's eyes made them shine. Thirteen saw the want and need in her eyes.

Cameron studied Thirteen's eyes, seeing more than just a beautiful color. She saw happiness, she saw more emotions then Thirteen usually showed in her eyes.

Thirteen slowly spread her fingers and softly interlinked them with Cameron's.

Thirteen's eyes moved to Cameron's lips and then back up to her eyes. Thirteen leaned in and kissed Cameron's forehead. In that moment Cameron felt happier than she had been in months. She remembered back to what thirteen had said to her in the locker room, about how if someone doesn't make you happy, you shouldn't be with them. Chase had never made her happy like this, the way thirteen made her smile and melt inside made Cameron realize she was falling hard for this girl who was standing in front of her.

The sound of Thirteen's pager echoed through the room. Thirteen took her eyes off of Cameron's and looked down at the device.

"I have to go" Thirteen said.

Cameron's face fell. Thirteen noticed the blonde's sudden sadness.

"My shift ends late, but how about I stop by your place tonight when I get off?" Thirteen said.

Cameron nodded.

Thirteen lightly kissed Cameron's cheek and let her hand fall.

Thirteen walked away, but before leaving the room she turned to look at Cameron, she flashed a quick smile and took off quickly.

Cameron felt the blood flow through her body and up to her cheeks. Cameron blushed and smiled to herself.

A/N: please let me know if you like the direction this story is going. I didn't like the direction it was headed at first but I think I got the story back on track, but I'm hoping the next chapter will be better. And I apologize if it doesn't flow all that well, I kind of rushed this chapter. And I know the chapter is short, but I jut wanted to put the whole confrontation in one chapter.
