Chapter 15- Storm in an apartment

"You wanna stay over?" House said his eyes twinkling with a devilish glare.

"Yeah. Why not?" They had come back to the motorbike and Katrina noticed, even though they had been gone hours the motorbike did not bare a parking ticket.

This time is was his turn to read her mind.

"I know a guy who knows a guy." he said mysteriously.

"You never cease to surprise me." she laughed.

As they got back to the apartment, the door was already open because Wilson had heard the motorbike arrive.

"You've worn me out woman." House said yawning.

"Go to bed then."

"Only if you come with me."

"If it will stop you moaning. Maybe. But I need to talk to James first."

"Can't you leave it till later?" he whined

"No. Now go get some sleep." she commanded

Obeying her wishesHouse walked in to the apartment andwaved to Wilson before entering his room andgetting readyfor bed.

Katrina entered the front room a moment later and looked at Wilson for a second before looking down at the floor.

"What's going on Kat?" he asked.

"What do you mean what's going on?" she answered innocently, knowing exactly what Wilson was talking about.

"What's the deal with you and House?"

"Oh." she sighed"I'm with House."

"What do you mean you're with House?"

"I mean I'm in love with him and he loves me too."

"But I thought your relationship was purely platonic."

"That's what I thought. But somewhere along the way we fell in love and were too stupid not to tell each other."

"So what about me Kat?" Wilson asked feeling pure jealousy seethe out of him.

"James, I…" The words just couldn't form and it didn't help that tears were welling up in her eyes.

"Why are you crying Katrina?" Wilson asked but his words were anything but caring. "You've got what you want. Silly me for thinking you were in love with me."

"I was in love with you. I had been for nine years!" she shouted forgetting House was in the other room. The walls weren't sound-proof either.

"What changed?" Wilson asked jealously evaporating away.

"I changed. I realised you don't know what love is."

"I know what love is. I love you."

"You're in love with the thought of me. And your three failed marriages just shows me you don't know what love is."

Wilson stood speechless then asked "So why did you kiss me?"

"Because I thought there was a chance of me and you. But then I thought about Greg and realised I was in love with him. I know Greg loves me."

"Are you sure about that?" House asked from his door.

"Did you hear everything?" Katrina asked.

"These walls aren't sound–proof" he replied.

"Greg I do love you. So much."

"If you loved me so much, how comes you kissed Wilson and didn't tell me about it?" House spat, not knowing who to hate more. Wilson or Katrina?

Wilson, his best friend who should've known his feelings towards Katrina. Or Katrina the woman he loved? Who had just said earlier that day that she would never betray him. But had performed the ultimate betrayal of kissing his best friend?

"Get out" House said coldly.

Wilson and Katrina looked at each other expecting the other to leave.

"Both of you"

Wilson left head hanging but Katrina remained standing there.

"Didn't you hear what I said to James?" she asked in a pleading voice.

"I heard it all."

"Then you must haveheard me say that I thought I was in love with James. But I love you."

"But you loved him."

"Loved being the keyword here." She said her blue eyes meeting his. Even at a time like this House still loved her with all his heart. But his defences still kept nagging him about the fact that she had loved Wilson.

"What if she changes her mind again and goes to Wilson?" He asked himself.

"Fine I'll leave" she said defeated "But I love you with the whole of my heart. With James it was only half heartedly. You have always made me feel special. There has always been a connection with youthat I have never felt with James. You where there for me, but I couldn't be there for you because you wouldn't let me in."

Those words "let me in." stirred within him. Those words were within his dream, and they had become the scariest words to be uttered by anyone.

"Greg?" she asked. "You gonna let me in this time?"

Wilson's words then echoed within his mind "If you don't let her in she'll abandon you, and then move onto someone who she feels, gives her the love that she desperately needs."

He couldn't let her abandon him. She'd only kissed Wilson. It wasn't like she slept with him.

Or had she?

Katrina had started to walk towards the door as he hadn't answered her question. She stoppedwhen he grabbed her arm and asked,

"Did you sleep with Wilson?"

"Fuck you! If you knew me at all you would know the answer to that." she said tears now spilling from her eyes.

After that, she released herself from his grip and hailed a taxi. She got into and drove away from him.

"She didn't sleep with him" he told himself andhe knew he was right. And for once he didn't feel happy that he was right.

AN: Remember do you want happy or sad? I need to know because one of those endings will start in the next chapter. Thank you for reading :)
