Chapter 12- Somebody To Love
Katrina was awoken by the sound of knocking from her door.
"Huh?" she shouted loudly still groggy after her rude awakening. Cursing she moved towards the door thinking it was room service and ready to shout at them.
As she opened the door to her surprise she found Greg standing there.
"Greg." She said breathlessly "Isn't it a bit early in the day for you to be here?"
House laughed and replied "Kat it's 11."
"Is it?"
"Yeah."
"Too many late nights I suppose."
"Can I come in?"
"Oh yeah. Of course, haven't woken up properly." She was smiling at him and he noticed she was wearing Disney pyjamas. Trust her not to grow up. "Do you want me to send up some coffee for you?"
"Only if you're having some as well."
"I think I need some strong coffee this morning" Katrina laughed as she picked up the receiver and called room service.
House felt awkward for the first time in his life. The dream had shaken him up, and was it possible the dream could be true? His brow furrowed in concentration as he got caught up in his thoughts.
Katrina saw his expression and took the opportunity to gaze at his face. She gave a small smile, and debated whether to disturb him from his thoughts.
"Greg." He looked at her, concentration disappearing from his face. "I'm going to get dressed. Can you get the door if room service comes up?"
"Yeah, sure."
Katrina disappeared from sight into the bathroom. All Greg needed to do was look at her and her stomach did back flips. She looked in the mirror and saw something she hadn't seen in years. A face of pure happiness.
Katrina looked to the floor and removed her pyjamas to replace them with her clothes she had chosen for the day. She had picked out a pair of jeans and her "Queen" t-shirt. As she emerged from the bathroom she was humming "Somebody to love".
House noticed this immediately. Queen had been her favourite band and on only two occasions he had heard her humming that song. The first time was when she had met that jerk-off David. David had been the perfect match for her. But his one flaw was that he was married already. Katrina hadn't found out till a fortnight later. House remembered that phone call well.
"House?" the caller asked. She was crying heavily.
"Yes. Who is this?"
"It's Katrina."
"Katrina what are you doing ringing now? It must be like early morning in England."
"He's married! House. He's married!" the crying had become louder
"Who's married?" he asked wishing he could stop her from crying.
"David! He's married."
"What?" House's anger began to bubble, what kind of man would go out with a woman when he was already married? 'Mental note' House thought to himself 'Ask Wilson why men cheat on their wives.'
"Yeah" Katrina sniffed "his wife's name is Elizabeth and they have a kid."
"How'd you find out?"
"Alexis works with his wife, she only figured it out when Elizabeth brought him to the staff Christmas party."
"Oh honey." House said. If only he lived in London. He would've beaten the crap out of that jerk.
"I was really serious about him as well. I was even singing 'Somebody to love' every morning."
"You were that serious about him?"
"Yes. I loved him."
"Somebody to love?" House questioned
"Hmm?" Katrina asked after coming out of her daydream.
"You were humming 'Somebody to love'"
"Was I?" Katrina was blushing profusely.
"Yea." House was walking over to her. His cane muffled by the carpet.
Breath had caught in her throat. He remembered the symbolism of that song. He now knew.
They were face to face, and staring at each other.
"I have something to tell you." She said in a quiet voice.
"I know. You kinda gave it away with 'Somebody to love'"
And with that he kissed her.
"Wait" she gasped after breaking the kiss. "I need to know, do you love me too?"
"You should know that by now" he grinned and kissed her again.
"For how long" she had broken away again.
"A while. Now shut up and kiss me."
AN: The end is coming nearer...so who should it be? House and Katrina or Wilson and Katrina? Its up to you so click :)
