I Just Want To Hold You In My Arms

One of the main donors walked up and asked Cuddy if she wanted to dance.

"Sure," Cuddy said. "I love to dance." The donor took Cuddy by her hand and lead her back to the dance floor. "That's why I host these things." House rolled his eyes at Cuddy's fake laughing.

"I think I'm going to be sick," House said. "Of course, this could also end up being very funny."

"Having a nice conversation with yourself," Cameron said as she walked up to House.

"Yes," House said. "I'm a really good listener. I am also so interesting."

"That's good because we do not want you to get bored with yourself," Cameron said as she watched House watching Cuddy dance with the donor. "At least you can always stare at Cuddy's butt if you do get bored."

"I will stare at yours, too," House said acting like he was trying to make her feel better. "I don't want to give you a complex." House gave her a smile. House's smile always made Cameron smile because House did it so rarely.

"That's very kind of you," Cameron said sarcastically.

"Are you going to ask me to dance or something?" House asked, wanting to know why she had come over to him. He didn't want to dance with her, but he knew she would probably nag him until he agreed to do so. House gave Cameron a 'come on and spill it' look.

"I will if you want to," Cameron said trying not to sound like she was dying to do so. She liked House, but she tried not to act like a desperate woman. "I didn't know if that would hurt your leg or anything. I will if you want, though."

House knew that was what she wanted. House stuck out his hand for her to take. "I'm saying no to Foreman, though," House said pointing to Foreman. House knew he should try to make a joke out of the situation. "I do not need him over here begging me and all up on my jock."

"You might have to dance with Chase, though," Cameron said also trying to make a joke of the dance so that House would not be so uncomfortable.

"I like people with accents," House said as he looked at Chase. "I prefer British, though. I don't get Australian people. I think it has something to do with the kangaroos."

As Cuddy was dancing with her donor, she looked up and saw House and Cameron dancing with each other. She didn't understand why that for some reason kind of bothered her.

"I guess your friend House likes the younger women," Natalie said to Wilson as they danced. "I should have guessed with him being a doctor."

"Not all doctors are that way," Wilson said. "I want my girlfriends to be mature so we can have a mature relationship." Wilson did not add that House didn't really like Cameron in that way. "It is such a waste of time to date younger woman who want different things than you do."

"I hear that June Cleaver is single," Natalie said to Wilson with a smile on her face. "She's very mature." Wilson didn't know what to say to that. Natalie always made him very flustered.

"I didn't mean old, but experienced," Wilson said.

"Ooo, experienced," Natalie said with a grin on her face.

Wilson turned about five shades of red. "So are you having a good time?" Wilson asked, trying to change the subject.

"I can tell Wilson just said something stupid," House said with a slight laugh as he danced with Cameron.

"You mean because his face couldn't get any redder?" Cameron said. Everyone knew that Wilson liked Natalie because House announced it to the whole team almost on a daily basis. "I think that it is kind of cute."

The music ended and House let go of Cameron. "Thanks for dancing with me, House," Cameron said. "I know it is not really your thing."

"Consider it a gift for all the things I put you through last year and all the things I will put you through next year," House said as Cameron smiled and walked away. House walked back over to where he had been standing and picked up his drink.

Cuddy walked back over to House. The fake smile was now off her face.

"Who knew donors could be so handsy?" Cuddy said to House while rolling her eyes.

"How inappropriate!" House said in fake shock.

"Yeah, you would never do such a thing," Cuddy said giving him a knowing look.

"Me?" House said trying to sound innocent.

"No," Cuddy said. "Abraham Lincoln. I was a little surprised that I did not see you over there grabbing Cameron's butt."

"That would be rude," House said. "I was just grinding myself against her."

"Good thing you are so small that she didn't even feel it," Cuddy said with a smile.

"Would you like to dance?" House asked Cuddy out of the blue, looking her directly into her eyes. Cuddy just kind of stood there in shock for a moment.

"So that you can grind me?" Cuddy asked a little freaked out that House had asked her.

"We'll see," House said as he reached over and grabbed Cuddy's hand and led her to a place to dance. Cuddy went along with him willingly, even though still a little leery of what House was up to.

"You have to move a little Cuddy," House said. "This isn't sex with Wilson."

"Shut up," Cuddy said as she let him slip his arms around her and start to dance. Cuddy looked up at House and noticed he was just staring right at her. "Do you have to stare at me?"

"Yes," House said. "Got to keep my eye on you." Cuddy felt like she was in a trance because she couldn't stop looking at him either. Cuddy then felt his hand start to move down her back.

"Don't," Cuddy said.

"It slipped!" House said knowing she didn't believe him. "I had a spasm?"

"Shut up," Cuddy said with a little laugh.

"Just use me for my body and not my mind," House retorted acting like she hurt his feelings by telling him to shut up.

"Yes, I hired you just so that you would dance with me," Cuddy said. "It had been my evil plot all along."

"I don't mind," House said giving her a giant smile.

"That's what every woman wants to hear," Cuddy said with a light laugh. "That you do not mind dancing with her, not that you wanted to dance with her."

"I have always dreamed of this moment," House said. "This is what we are always doing in all my fantasies of you."

"It's kind of hard to dance when you are laying the sarcasm on so thick," Cuddy said. House suddenly pulled her a lot closer. "What are you doing?"

"Trying to make it easier for you to get through the thick sarcasm," House said. "I don't want you to get stuck. We can pull through this together. I will always be there for you."

"My hero," Cuddy said. The music and their dance ended.

"Same time next year?" House asked with a smile on his face. Cuddy laughed a little. She looked at House and couldn't help but smile.

"Like I won't have killed you by then," Cuddy said as they started walking back towards the food table. "And I will get Natalie to stop stalking you if you stop stalking me."

"Like that will ever happen," House said.
