Hi!

Thanks for the lovely reviews. It really encouraged me to go on with the story.

I don't owned House md

Chapter 2

A couple of days passed since Wilson told House about Cameron coming back, neither ever talk about it again. In fact it seemed House was trying his best to pretend that conversation never happened. The only time House heard her name again was when he entered Wilson's office in the afternoon, he was on the phone with her, something about apartment hunting. The rest of the day was uneventful, his patient was discharge, and for some unknown reason he didn't want to dwell on House didn't want to go home, nor did he want to go to Cuddy's. Instead he was sitting in his office completely in the dark listening to his iPod. Getting bored and grabbing his cane he lifted himself up and made his way to Wilson's office to see if he wanted to go out for drinks. So far House was doing a good job ignoring her, but he couldn't do it anymore when he saw her in the corridor leaving Wilson´s office.

Cameron was in her car in PPTH parking lot. She was supposed to meet him earlier somewhere else to talk about a few apartments she had in mind, but Wilson was running late and asked her if she wouldn't mind meeting him at the hospital. Not wanting to sound weak she said yes. Plus because it was late Wilson assured her no one from Diagnostics would be there. Definitely not want she wanted, but she was a strong woman and if she had to face any of them she would. Opening her car door she passed the glass doors and into the hospital. Like Wilson said the place was almost empty, only the ER was running busy as usual.

Reaching the elevator a shill ran down her spine, even though Cameron was back at Princeton she thought she would have more time before coming to PPTH again. She got in the elevator and pressing the button for the fourth floor she sighted. As the doors opened and she stepped into the corridor another shill ran down her spine this one much stronger. All the memories came rushing back. Shaking her head Cameron said out loud

"Get a grip!"

Heading towards Wilson's office, Cameron didn't dare to look in the direction of the Diagnostics Department. Reaching it she lifted her hand to knock on the door. When she heard no response Cameron opened it. The office was empty, Wilson's jacket was there, so he was still at the hospital.

"Great! Just great!"

There goes Cameron's plan to get in, get Wilson and get out. Making her way out, Cameron thought it was safer to just wait for him in the car. Closing the door she heard it.

"Cameron!" House called noticing she hadn't seen him standing there.

Cameron froze. This is it! Slowly turning around she saw the man that said her name, not that she didn't already know who it was. He was leaning on his cane, but standing tall as always. Blue eyes staring at her, God how she missed those eyes.

"House." She said in a self-imposed cold voice.

He noted her tone. It was cold. Taking a good look at her, he memorized her. After all six months is a long time. She looked beautiful. She always was but there was something different, she exuded a new confidence. To be honest with himself she was the most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes on, and he'd seen his share of women.

"I see the rumors are true, you really are back."

"It's true."

Short answer. She was certainly keeping her distance. He could feel the tension in the air and in the way she held herself, with her chin holding high, never looking down. At that time Wilson exited the elevator, he was faced with his two friends staring at each other. Not the friendliest scenario, he thought.

Deciding to break the weird atmosphere he walked towards them.

"Hi Cameron! Sorry I'm late, let me just get my things and we can go."

House being House said

"If you're going out who's going to cook me dinner?"

"You know how to cook, and weren't you supposed to be at Cuddy's tonight?"

House shot Wilson a glare for bringing up Cuddy's name. Closing his office door Wilson gestured towards Cameron to start walking to the elevators, saying to House over his shoulder

"I'll see you at home."

House just stood there, glued to the floor watching their backs. Cameron was definitely keeping her distance, she didn't even said goodnight to him.

In the restaurant Cameron and Wilson were eating their meals while at the same time going through some pictures of apartments she printed of the net.

"So, how was it?" Wilson asked. When he got off the elevator things between House and Cameron were tense, to say the least.

"How was what?" Cameron knew what he was talking about, she just didn't want to go there.

"You saw House, things were weird. What did you talk about?"

"He asked me if was true. That I was back. I said yes."

"That's it? No sarcastic comments, no mocking, nothing?" Wilson was shocked, he always thought House would go on and on and on… or something. But nothing?!

"That's it. I have nothing to talk about with him. I don't work with him, and I'm not friends with him so…. That's it."

The severe look on Cameron's face told him she really meant it, she was done taking crap from House, or anyone else for that matter, so the next thing he said came out of nowhere to her.

"He's trying to be happy with Cuddy. Wants to change. A little change would be nice, but I think she's wants to change too much."

Cameron stopped eating to look deep in Wilson's eyes.

"Why are you telling me this? I don't want to know about his relationship problems with Cuddy."

Apologetically Wilson put his hand up in surrender.

"Sorry. I'm just saying for the first time he wants to be different. He's still off the vicodin, never relapsed."

"Good for him." Cameron said as she finished her dinner.

Getting the hint Wilson dropped the subject, resuming their conversation about apartments.

If you were expecting the House/Cameron reunion to be all bunnies and flowers, than I'm sorry. I just think if they're going to be together they've got to work a little for it. It would seem out of character to me if they just jumped into each other arms.

Sorry for any typos
