Part 3
It was a little past midnight at Princeton-Plainsboro and the normally hectic hospital was now abnormally quiet. Time seemed to have slowed down up and down the halls of the building, and two doctors took advantage of the peaceful atmosphere.
Initially, Thirteen had been irritated to stay late on her night off. But to the young doctor's pleasant surprise, she ran into a certain Blonde who had just started her night shift.
"It's kind of nice here at night, I like it." Thirteen said the last part through a yawn. Cameron smiled, thinking the younger woman looked cute when she was tired.
"Me too. It's nice when it's calm…although a lot of sketchy patients tend to come in at this time on night."
"Like Mr. Fix-it?" Thirteen asked grinning. Cameron chuckled and nodded.
The two doctors sat in silence for a few minutes sipping coffee.
"So uh…can I ask you something?" Cameron asked tentatively. Thirteen could feel a knot form in her stomach.
'Did House mention anything about Huntingtons to her?....That slimy bastard.'
"Go for it" Thirteen tried to sound nonchalant. Cameron couldn't help but pick up on the other woman's sudden posture.
"I know this is going to sound weird but….What is your name? Calling you Thirteen feels…odd."
The knot in Thirteen's stomach instantly came undone and the doctor relaxed.
"It's….Remy." Thirteen shrugged. Cameron smiled, her eyes completely enthralling Thirteen.
"Remy." Cameron echoed. "I like it."
Thirteen shrugged again and returned the smile.
"Thanks."
The two doctors fell silent again. Remy stared down into her cup feigning concentration and Cameron looked between the manila table top and the younger doctor's hands. This time it was Remy's turn to break the silence.
"So…would you mind if I ask you about what happened between you and Dr. Chase?" Thirteen asked, hoping she didn't come off as nosey or jealous. Cameron just laughed and shook her head.
"We just…grew apart I guess. There's always been friction….If we didn't end it when we did, it would have ended in homicide eventually." Cameron smirked and moved her eyes up to meet Remy's. Thirteen tried a sympathetic smile but was cut off by another yawn. Cameron giggled.
"Sorry for making you tired. I hope I'm not always this boring."
Thirteen shook her head and gave a small stretch.
"You're not boring, I've just been up for the past-" Thirteen checked her watch and grimaced. "72 hours." Cameron frowned and got up from her chair.
"You're going home. You need sleep."
Thirteen grinned mischievously at the blonde doctor.
"What if I don't wanna?" she dared. Cameron returned the grin and slipped her hand into Thirteen's, pulling the brunette doctor to her feet.
"Don't make me tell you twice." Cameron whispered flirtatiously.
Remy chuckled and caved.
"Alright. Fine."
The two doctors made their way out of the cafeteria to the elevator. To Thirteen's surprised, Cameron's hand was still in her own. The blonde doctor had even laced their fingers sometime along the way to the parking lot. Remy's heart drummed in her chest as she held Alyson's hand in her own. The older doctors skin was soft and smooth against her fingers. Remy couldn't help but notice how nicely their hands seemed to fit together.
Thirteen's heart wasn't the only one hammering in her chest either.
Cameron was using every bit of will power she possessed to keep from breaking into a full on dumb grin.
Neither wanted to let go when they finally reached Thirteen's car in the dimly lit garage. Before she lost her nerve completely Remy made her move. She leaned forward and pressed her lips to Cameron's.
The kiss was soft and short. And just as before, left both of their lips tingling from the feeling.
"Kissing before the first official date a habit of yours?" Cameron teased. Thirteen quirked and eyebrow in amusement.
"You're one to talk."
Still smiling and dazed from the kiss, Remy fished her hand into her pocket and produced her car keys.
"Pick you up at around 4 tonight?"
Cameron nodded and smiled softly.
"Cool" Thirteen grinned and unlocked her car door, climbing in.
"Goodnight Alyson." Thirteen said before shutting the door. Cameron watched as Remy pulled out of her space and slowly drove off. Alyson buried her hands into her pockets, still unable to erase the smile from her face.
"Goodnight Remy."
