This is a short one but I promise to make it up in the next one, I've already written it I just need to edit it, and trust me when I say it will be worth the wait. I hope.

I don't own House md

Chapter 4

House entered Wilson's office without knocking as usual.

"Ready for lunch? You're buying!"

"I could have been with a patient, you know?"

"But you're not. Let's go, I'm hungry!"

"What? Cuddy didn't feed you breakfast this morning?"

"Actually she didn't. When I woke up she was gone. Something about going to work."

"How strange! But some of us like to get here on time."

"So lunch?" House asked impatiently.

"Can't. I'm meeting someone."

"Is it a new soon to be wife?"

"No!"

"Then it's not important, I can't pay for my own lunch!" He faked outrage.

"It's Cameron. She's meeting me here."

House's expression automatically changed.

"Why?"

"Hum…, because we're friends. And friends like to hang out. Plus I'm kind of swamp, so she's meeting me here."

Grabbing his cane and pushing himself up from the chair House said

"Fine! I'll find someone else to buy me lunch!"

"Good luck with that!"

Just what he needed! House was trying to keep thoughts of Cameron away, especially since their last meeting a few days ago. How was he supposed to do that if she was in his hospital!

Cameron had just arrived at PPTH, it really wasn't fair every time she and Wilson went to lunch he would meet her at her hospital, so she couldn't really say no to him when he asked if they could just meet in his office. Besides she wanted to check up on Forman, she missed him, they'd lost contact over the months, it wasn't her intention to do so, it just happened. And if she happened to run into someone, then so be it. She would deal with it. Passing through the doors the first person she saw was Cuddy.

"Cameron?! I can't believe you're here!"

"Hi Cuddy. I'm meeting Wilson for lunch." She responded without enthusiasm.

"How are you? Are you just visiting?"

"I'm good, and back. I started running Princeton General some time ago."

Cuddy couldn't hide the shocked look on her face, after all it took her years to get where she's now and PGH was the biggest hospital in the area. She was actually a little jealous.

"Uau! I'm mean I heard they had someone new, I didn't realize it was you."

"They made me a really good offer, I couldn't say no."

Sensing Cameron wasn't interested in any more conversation, the two of them were never that close friends, Cuddy said

"Well, I won't keep Wilson waiting. I guess I'll see you around."

"Bye Cuddy."

Heading for the elevators Cameron thought, one down a whole department to go! Today wasn't Cameron's day, as soon as she stepped out of the elevator the entire diagnostics team was standing outside the conference room, probably on their way to do some insane tests on a patient. Taking a deep breath she walked towards them, there was no way she could avoid them now. Forman was the first to see her.

"Oh my God!"

The others locked at him not understanding what was going on, until Forman ran towards Cameron giving her a strong hug. She had missed him a lot.

"It's so good to see you! What are you doing here?"

Forman had the biggest smile on his face.

"It's good to see you too, I moved back a while ago, because of work." She had a big smile on her lips.

"That's so great!"

Noticing that Taub, Thirteen and Chase were still standing there hearing her talk to Forman, Cameron turn to them.

"Hi."

She gave a quick hug to both Thirteen and Taub, and faced Chase. Seeing the awkwardness of the situation, and that they should give them space Forman said

"We should start on these tests, but I want to get together and hear all the news."

He gave her another quick hug, and disappeared into the elevator with the other two doctors, leaving Cameron and Chase alone. Cameron was the first to break the silence.

"Hi."

"Hi."

"You look good." He did. The short hair soothed him.

"Hum… you too. So your back."

"Yeah… How are you doing?"

"Bad for a while, but better now."

"Hum, that's good, I'm glad for you."

"Anyway, I should go. We have a patient."

"Sure."

"Bye Cameron."

That could've gone worst, Cameron thought. It was awkward, but there was no screaming and no accusations. It's good, they were both moving on. Sighting Cameron turned around to go to Wilson's office when she saw House in his office looking straight at her. He had been watching her the entire time. Damn glass walls. They locked their eyes, and stayed like that just staring at each other. It was only for a few seconds but it felt like an eternity, finally Cameron broke the eye contact turning to Wilson's office. It wasn't even 1pm and she had already faced her old friends, old boss, ex-husband, and of course House. Hopefully the rest of the day would go smoother.

I like how Cameron has the upper hand when she sees Cuddy eh eh!
