Last time on Yes, He Loves Me… "What she's saying is that people wish. It's natural to want to be with someone sometimes."
"I was actually going to ask what you have planned for tonight. I thought maybe we should go out to dinner,"
He regards his friend in a completely new light, studying his movements, his soft, brown hair, and his lips as he advises people of how to improve their lives.
Chapter 2
"Ok…here's some chips and water I got for you. Enjoy…" said Wilson as he sat down to lunch with his long-time friend.
"Uhh the chips are fine but why am I drinking water, this could be contaminated you know. And then I'd be too sick to go with you to dinner tonight and I know how badly you'd be disappointed," House jests smugly to a reddening Wilson.
Wilson readjusts himself in his seat and blusters "First, it's Dasani. Second, are you saying that you want to go out to dinner with me?"
"Well gosh Dr. Wilson, when you ask like that it sounds like a bigger deal than it actually is. Ha." House snidely comments.
"You know what, House, forget I ever asked." Wilson huffed as he grabbed his tray followed by a hasty retreat from the cafeteria.
House just stared, sitting still as he reviewed what just took place.
Do you wanna know how big my dick is??? HotMike39
No thanks PartyPants
Cuddy exited the single's chat room and headed out to make her routine rounds about the hospital in order to contemplate her own Valentine's predicament.
"Oh, Dr. Wilson I didn't see you there…is everything alright?" Cuddy asked of a clearly flushed Wilson.
"Oh, hi Lisa. Yeah. I mean yes, I'm fine. Thank you…….."
"It's just..forget it."
Cuddy looked at Wilson in bewilderment. "What in the world is going on? I've never seen you this upset at the hospital. Is this about your patient that passed two days ago?"
"No, well, yes I'm very sad for her death but no that isn't what I'm…I'm fine really." Replied Wilson unconvincingly.
Cuddy looked at him for a second before her next question "I don't like seeing you like this on Valentine's Day, James. Is this about a woman?"
"NO…definitely not. I'm not going to be heading down that road anytime soon…maybe not at all if things keep going the way they are." That last part he says under his breath.
"What?"
"Oh nothing. Look, I've really got to get back to work. I'll talk to you later." And with that he continued until he found himself safely behind the security of his locked office door.
"All I'm saying is he looked really upset," reports Cuddy to a less than slightly bored looking House in his office. "You wouldn't know anything about this would you?"
"Please woman. Do I look like the kind of person with enough time or patience to deal with Wilson's "feminine issues" at this moment to you...Scratch the time part." Answered House gruffly.
"He looked like he was on the verge of tears. I thought that since he values your presence that you should know…God knows why though, he certainly doesn't need you constantly tearing at him," remarked a chastising Cuddy.
"Go raid the bargain bin for a new suit please." House said as he lightly waved and gestured that she exit his office.
After Cuddy left, House spun in his chair and looked at the closed blinds while chewing the eraser off a number two.
"That'll be $11.75, sir."
House left the gift shop and proceeded past the looks on the strangers' faces when they stared at House walking with his cane and a bouquet of red roses. House turned the knob of the door which blocked his entrance to his friend's apartment. Growing impatient, House pounded on the door, "Hey, it's me. I'm sorry."
House stayed there for a full three minutes in silence. Then he gave up. He left the roses by the door and began the walk to his own home. He pops a pill in his mouth and decided that the night, being as young as it still is, deserves some activity thus he takes the scenic route through a nearby park.
A voice pierced through the cold evening air and through his icy thoughts… "HOUSE!"
