I don't own House md (I'm getting tired of saying this)

Chapter 6

"House, we need to talk!"

"What did I do now Cuddy? I haven't killed any patients lately!" House looked up from his gameboy.

"This isn't about any patient, it's about - " She was cut off.

"Then what, wait don't tell, I'm getting sued again?!" Clearly he wasn't in the mood, he just wanted to be left alone.

"It's about us." Cuddy sighted.

"I know we agreed to keep our relationship out of the hospital, but it's getting hard. You don't come around anymore … I need to know where we stand."

Since the night with Cameron while ago House was avoiding Cuddy. Not only there were still marks on his body, but also he just couldn't shake any thoughts of her. Life clearly isn't fair, but then again when was it?

"You're right! The hospital isn't the place." He needed to think before this 'talk'.
"I'll come by tonight."

A small smile appeared on her lips.

"Good."

Closing his eyes his thoughts drifted back to Cameron, and that night. Her soft skin, her moans, and her voice when she screamed his name. For years he pushed her away, denied himself of the pleasure of being with a beautiful young woman and now he just wanted more, more of her. What killed him more was the hurt in her voice when she told him to leave, he couldn't let her believe that he was only playing with her. That night meant as much to him as it did to her, (even if he didn't know exactly what) he just didn't know how to show her. House made a decision, he was going to see her, staying brooding in his office wasn't helping anyone.
Before he could act on his thoughts he was interrupted by familiar footsteps.

"Tough case?" Wilson asked sitting in front of the desk.

"Uh?"

"You have that look, when the wheels of your brain are working at full speed."

"Right."

"I just saw Cuddy leaving. Everything ok with you two?"

"She wants to have a talk." He feign disgust.

"Well you've spent every night for the past days home, so it's no surprise."

"Keeping tabs on me? Jealous much?"

"We live together. Kind of hard not to notice." Wilson said laughing.
"If things aren't working you should talk, after all you did chase her for years." He added.

Not enjoying where the conversation was going, House grabbed his jacket and his current patient file.

"Gotta go!" He said rushing to the door.

"What about lunch?" Wilson yelled after him.

"Can't. Places to be, people to annoy!" And with that he was gone.

Cameron was tired. She had just arrived to her office from a board meeting to evaluate her current performance on the job, everything was going well but these types of meetings were not her favorite part of the job. Looking forward to some quiet time alone she sent her secretary for lunch and closed her eyes. She was enjoying her relaxation time when herd the door closing. Weird, I didn't herd anyone entering, she thought.

When House was near her office he expected her secretary bugging him saying he couldn't just walk in her office, he was glad there wasn't one. Probably at lunch he thought. Trying to open the door without making any noise the sight of her made his heart skip a beat. Her feet were propped up on her desk, she was wearing a skirt so he could see her long slender legs. But what really hit him was her face, she was so relaxed, so serene and her golden locks framing her expression made her ever more beautiful. Not the image he expected to find for someone running a hospital, he was probably catching her in a break from her busy day. And then the door closed bringing him back from his musings.

"Did you forget something?" Cameron asked assuming it was her secretary.

"I forgot my camera, wanted to take a picture." House said sitting in the chair in front of her.

She immediately opened her eyes and set her feet on the ground.

"House! What are you doing here?" He could hear the surprise in her voice.

"Ah! Why did you do that? You look so much better with your feet up!"

"What do you want?"

"Actually I need a consult."

"What? Don't you have your dream team for that?" She said with sarcasm.

"There idiots, plus you're so much better to look at!"

"I don't work for you anymore."

"I need an immunologist opinion." He insisted.

"And you don't have any of those in your hospital?"

"I didn't train any of them."

"Urg! Fine, give me the file." She gave up, and extended her hand for it.

While she was looking through the symptoms list House said

"It wasn't about the sex. That night, I didn't go there to toy with you."

He said it in such a low voice, that if Cameron wasn't right in from of him she wouldn't have heard it. She tilted her chin up to see his eyes, they were focused in anywhere else but her. Was he telling the truth? She didn't say anything resuming her reading.

"Your patient has Addison's, but you already know that." It wasn't a question.

House smirked, she was always the smartest one. Grabbing the files from her, he limped towards the door and was about to leave when he turned around.

"It took you less than ten minutes to correctly diagnose the patient, my so called dream team has been at it since last night. I'm glad you finally found a job worthy of you." And just like that he left closing the door behind him.

Cameron was in shock, her mouth stuck open, this Greg House moment was just too surreal to be true.

Next House talks to Cuddy, and since I'm not a Huddy fan, the outcome isn't hard to guess
