How Bizarre
House walked into work the next day at 10:00am.
"Morning," Wilson said to House as he walked in. "Sorry I couldn't come over last night, but I had a date with a woman I met in the cafeteria. Do you want to do something tonight?"
"Can't," House said with a smile on his face. "Date with Cuddy."
"And I am going out with Gwyneth Paltrow," Wilson said thinking that House was joking.
"Too bad for you," House said. "My date is hotter." House started to think how hot Cuddy was.
"An imaginary date can be as hot as you want," Wilson said as they made their way to the elevator. "You probably should have chosen a celebrity, though, if we want an imaginary date. Cuddy can kind of confirm that you are lying."
"I'm not joking, Wilson," House said looking directly at Wilson. "I have a date with our Dean of Medicine, Lisa Cuddy, tonight." Wilson looked at him for a moment until he realized the House was telling the truth. Wilson's mouth dropped wide open.
"Shut up!" Wilson said as the elevator opened.
"You can worship me later," House said as they stepped into the elevator. Chase was standing in there and was wondering what they were talking about. He could tell by the look on their faces that it was something good.
"What's going on?" Chase asked. "Why are you worshipping House? What did he do?" House couldn't get the giant smile off his face. He was trying to figure out if he should tell him the truth or not.
"He is worshipping me for being me," House said. Chase turned to Wilson to get the real answer.
"House has a date with Cuddy!" Wilson practically yelled at the top of his lungs, causing House to roll his eyes.
"I knew that wasn't just a little kiss," Chase said punching House playfully in the arm. "She's hot." House made a mental note to tell Cuddy that Chase thought she was hot. He wondered if she would blush or laugh.
"That was one of the deciding factors in me asking her out," House said as the three of them exited the elevator.
"You asked her out?" Wilson asked. "Did you slip some of your Vicodin in her drink or was she already drunk?"
"Oh, it's so obvious that she is in love with him," Chase said. "Why else would she put up with him for all these years?" House wondered if Cuddy really had liked him all these years. If she did, she hid it pretty well from him.
"I've put up with him for years and that doesn't mean I love him," Wilson said as the three of them entered House's office.
"I hate you Jimmy," House said as he pretended like he was starting to cry. Foreman and Cameron looked at them when they came in and wondered what was going on.
"What's up?" Foreman asked.
"House and Cuddy are going to do it," Chase said laughing.
"I'm going to tell her you said that," House said. House wouldn't really, but he wanted Chase to believe that he would. "Then we will see who will be laughing." Foreman looked at House with a confused look.
"Why did he say that you and Cuddy are going to do it?" Foreman asked. "Did I miss something?"
"House and Cuddy have a date," Wilson said, smiling at House. Foreman and Cameron's jaws almost fell off their face. They could tell that Wilson was telling the truth.
"Really?" Cameron asked.
"No, I just planned on drugging her and carrying her around town," House said.
"She actually said yes?" Foreman asked wondering if he should check her for neurological problems.
"Is that really so hard to believe?" House asked.
"Yes," they all answered in unison.
"I am good looking, smart, funny, great in bed, and have many different interests," House said thinking he was stating the obvious. He thought that he was a great catch. Wilson started to laugh. He knew that House did have many good qualities.
"You forgot drug addict, irresponsible, sloppy dresser, lazy, and rude," Wilson said. "We might as well state them all."
"You're just jealous," House said back to him.
"I don't want to go out with Cuddy," Wilson said.
"You say that only because you know she would say no," House said. "Plus, you all act like she is the first girl that has agreed to go out with me. I have been on dates before." House was starting to get annoyed by the conversation. It also made him worry that maybe this was more of a pity date, then a real date. Wilson could see the little bit of worry on House's face.
"The only reason she would say no is because for some reason, she likes you," Wilson said trying to let his friend know that this was a good thing that Cuddy wanted to be with him.
"I never realized how insane Cuddy was," Foreman said. "I guess her liking you explains a lot."
"You have all been so supportive," House said.
"We are just teasing you House," Wilson said.
"We are all hoping that you get some," Chase said. "It will make our lives a lot better."
"One date doesn't mean he will be getting any," Cameron said with a frown on her brow.
"I don't want you talking to Cuddy and giving her any ideas about clamping those legs shut," House said pointing at Cameron.
"Cuddy is a strong and a smart woman," Cameron said. "She will know it is not a smart idea to jump into bed with you."
"Because she is smart, she will want to jump into bed with me," House said. He knew that Cameron was only saying these things because she was jealous. "That and all the booze I will be giving to her will make her quite easy."
"If Cuddy comes in with a hangover tomorrow, we will know what that means, you got some" Chase said. "I will give you a high five then."
"I have to pee now," House said as he started to leave the room.
"Thanks for announcing it," Wilson said. House smiled back at him. He had thought of something dirty to say, but he put Cameron thorough enough already, so he cleaned it up a little. "If I am not back in 20 minutes, don't come find me. I will want to be alone." They had been talking about Cuddy too much.
