I had been discharged from the hospital for a grand total of three days. I was enjoying every second of not having to do any stupid tests and Maria worrying about me. I walked around my apartment and was working on a new recipe when someone knocked on my door. I raised an eyebrow and walked over to my door to answer it. To my surprise there was House, holding a brown bag and smiling at me.
"I have come my lady to create a dinner the likes of which you have never seen before." House said in a dignified way and walked passed me and straight into my kitchen.
"An how pray tell did noble knight find out where I live?" I asked as I watched him go to my stove and start to get ready.
"You wrote it down on your paper work from the hospital." House replied as he started to chop some vegetables and meat.
"Hmm that's good enough for now. An yet I did not say when we were going to have this date nor did I say that I want to stay in for it." I told him and waited for his reply.
"True enough my dear but I did not wish to have some young scoundrel try and take you away from me. So it is safer for you and I both if I made dinner for you so when we do go out the young men do not sound tempting." House explained and smiled devilishly at me.
"Now why in the world would I go for a young boy when I can have a man? A doctor even." I trotted back and waited for some kind of reply.
House thought for a few and then gave up. He cut up a carrot and fed it to me. I just rolled my eyes and ate the carrot piece and watched him do his thing.
"You are very skilled with a knife House." I told him as he went Edward Scissorhands on the food.
"My dear that is from years of practice. Well that and I am a doctor if I can't cut up a salad then I shouldn't be cutting into people." House told me and did a fancy little trick with the blade. It gleamed in the light and cut a head of lettuce right in half.
"Impressive. You know if this doctor thing doesn't work out then you could always work at the bakery with me. I need a pair of hands that know what they are doing." I huskily suggested and watched as House slipped up a bit.
"I will keep that in mind." House answered with a smile and continued his work.
He finished the salad and then started on what looked like the main course. He started looking around my kitchen for something. I smirked and waited for him to ask me a question.
"Where is a baking pan? I am going to make you a Baked Rigatoni." House told me as he kept looking around my kitchen.
I smiled at him and walked to the last cabinet and handed him a baking pan. He thanked me and started getting to work. I watched him in awe. Normally I don't let anyone in my kitchen but for some reason seeing House cook in my kitchen was relaxing.
Half way through he brought a spoon to my face for me to try. I ate a little of the Rigatoni and moaned happily. It was fantastic.
"Now if only I can get you to moan like that later." House said and smirked.
I rolled my eyes and blushed a little. He continued with the meal and put it in the oven. He stood next to me as we watched the oven and nudged me. I looked at him and nudged him back.
"So Katherine tell me about yourself." House asked me.
"What do you want to know?" I asked him.
"Why a baker?" House asked me and pointed to the baking books all over my living room.
"It's something I love to do and something that comes easy to me. So why not." I explained to him and smiled.
I wonder what he wants to know about me now?
