I don't own House md, maybe one day…

Chapter 20

"Wilson, we need to get you laid!" House barged into Wilson's office.

"Excuse me?" What could House possibly be up to now?

"As your best friend I have to take in consideration your wellbeing. And since I'm getting the best sex of my life and you're not getting any, and I'm not willing to share Cameron, I thought I should help you. So I decided to take matters into my own hands."

"How thoughtful of you to consider my feelings. But I think I can handle my sex life on my own, thank you very much."

"Nonsense. I've already put out the word that you're back on track looking for the next Mrs. Wilson, soon the women of this hospital will be lining up in front of your office. And me being the good friend I am will be here to help you judge them and help you make the right choice."

"Please tell me you didn't?" Wilson started to look panicked. If this was true his new girlfriend wouldn't be happy at all. After all he did have the fame (and the pleasure) of being a cheater.

"Yes I did!" Don't worry I'll be here with you all the way." Messing with Wilson was always fun.

"Oh God!"

"What?"

"This is just like you! Messing with people's personal lives without their knowledge. Do you have any idea what you've done? And here I thought Cameron and I were finally having a positive effect on you! You just had to stick your nose in everyone's business don't - " Wilson abruptly stopped rambling as he noticed House's amused face. He was being played.

"You bastard! You know!"

"Of course I know! I know everything!" Wilson gave him a look.
"Ok, so Cameron let it slip."

"And you just had to mess with me about it didn't you?"

"Wouldn't be me if I didn't." He shrugged.

"Jerk."

"So, is it serious?"

"Yeah. I'm … happy." Wilson had a silly smile on his face.

"How soon are you gonna pop the question?" House teased.

"Actually she doesn't believe in marriage."

"Smart woman. Guess you finally found the right the one."

"Yeah."

House was walking through the doors of Cameron's hospital for lunch, their schedule had been hectic for the past days and they hardly had time to be together, House wouldn't say out loud but he actually missed her. So he thought maybe a surprise lunch would be good, plus he could take advantage of her good mood and try to convince her for a quickie in some hospital corner, or exam room, or supplies closet, or anywhere else for that matter.
House passed her secretary who was by now accustomed to House's manners (or lack of them) and entered Cameron's office. He was disappointed to see she wasn't there. He turned to the secretary who didn't bother to look up.

"Dr Cameron is in the cafeteria having lunch." She simply said.

House turned and went in the direction of the cafeteria without bothering to say thank you. She didn't expect him to anyway.
He spotted her right away, but she wasn't alone, she was having lunch with a familiar face, a very familiar face. Chase. And she was laughing, looking happier than ever. He could feel the heat rising in him, his body filled with anger at the sight of her laughing with Chase playing the part of the perfect couple.

His first instinct was to go over to them and yell, smack Chase with his cane and then yell some more. But he thought better. He needed to think this through, to carefully analyze what the scene in front of him meant, and what his next step would be.

"What?" House answered the phone.

"It's me. You're in a good mood."

"Nope. Just my normal self." He really didn't want to talk to her right now.

"Right. So are you coming over tonight?"

"I'm gonna stay in late. The patient keeps trying to die."

"You can still come. I don't mind if you wake me up."

"No, I really need to stay tonight."

"Ok."

"Ok." Cameron didn't even have time to say goodbye all she heard was House slamming the phone down. Something was certainly not right.

Over the next couple of days House avoided Cameron, he still hadn't figure out what his move would be. Chase of course was now the focus of his frustration, damn blond aussie wombat!
Cameron tried to talk to House, but obviously talks were never his strong, she considered asking Wilson if he knew something but decided against it, after all Wilson had his own issues and it wasn't fair to dump theirs on him all the time.

She was having a slow day and when she caught a break in the afternoon she decided it was time to clear things. She was done waiting for him to tell her what was bothering him.
Cameron was a woman on a mission, if House wouldn't come to her she would go to him even if that meant going to PPTH and expose their relationship. At this point she didn't care.

"Hey guys." The whole diagnostic team turned to look at her.

"Hey Cameron, what are you doing here?" Forman asked.

"I need to talk to House. Is he in there?" She glanced at his office.

"He went to lunch with Wilson, should be here any time." Thirteen answered. As for Chase he just avoided eye contact and remained silent.

"I'll just wait in his office." She moved to the adjoining door.

"Hum … you sure about that? I know you've been gone a while but he still doesn't like people in his office." Taub said concerned, House wasn't in his best mood these past days and he didn't want anything to make it worst.

"Don't worry, he won't mind." And she walked in.

The team exchanged a few worry glances.

Cameron made herself comfortable in his chair behind the desk, until she heard the uneven gait approach.

House and Wilson walked in the conference room, his fellows immediately tensed up.

"Someone died? You all look stressed. It's bad for your wrinkles you know?"

"You have a visitor." Forman nodded his head in the direction of the office. Cameron was sitting in his chair looking straight at him through the glass walls with an expression he couldn't read, but he had an idea for the reason she was here.

"My lucky day!" He entered and closed the door behind him.

"Hi."

"What are you doing here?" He stood there in the middle of the office leaning on his cane.

"I came to see you." She stood up and stepped towards him, starting to get frustrated at all of this.

"Why?"

"Because you've been avoiding me for the past days and I'm tired of it." She said calmly.

"I have a lot of work."

"No you don't." She took a step closer.
"What the hell is wrong with you Greg?" She raised her voice a little.

"Nothing!"

"Why won't you talk to me?"

"If you want to talk maybe you should go to your blond ex hubby!" He spitted out.

"What?"

"I saw you two having lunch and giggling the other day."

"Is that what this is about? Chase?"

"Do you have any other blonde ex?"

"You can't be serious. We were just talking." She stated in disbelief that this was the reason he was avoiding her.

"And you seemed to be having lots of fun!"

"He came to see me to talk about our old apartment, we got a good offer so we're selling it. That's it! There was no giggling."

"If that's all you talk about you would've told me, but you didn't which means there's more to it."

"You're right! I would have told you if given the chance, but I haven't got an opportunity because you've been avoiding me!" She accused.

She was right. He over reacted and pushed her away. Idiot! He needed to make this right. In a swift move he pulled her to him and planted fierce kiss on her lips not caring who witnessed, in fact he was actually glad for the audience, time to make things clear. At first she was surprised but after just a few seconds she responded to the kiss but then she remembered what they were talking and pulled away.

So far they were able to keep their voices low enough so no one could hear them in the conference room.

"What do you think they're saying? Taud wondered.

"Whatever it is they don't look too happy." Thirteen said and Cuddy chose that moment to arrive.

"I got a case for you guys. What's Cameron doing in there?" She frowned when she saw the young woman talking to House.

"We don't know I just hope this doesn't put him in an even worse mood." Thirteen said.

Then they saw House kissed her. Their jaws dropped to the floor. Cuddy couldn't believe her eyes.

"We were fighting, you can't just go from fighting to kissing!" Cameron said trying to put some distance between them, her hands on his chest.

"I just did!" And he kissed her again and she couldn't help but moan in his mouth.

"You're an idiot. And a jerk." She told him pulling away once more.

"I know."

"By the way I told him about us because I thought it would be better if he heard it from me, and he laughed, he already knew. A little heads up would've been nice."

"I didn't tell him, he figured out. Said we looked at each other differently, whatever that means."

"When?"

"We you came here with the senator case."

"That was months ago!"

"Yeah." He kissed her one more time to shut her up for good.

Seeing them kissing again Forman turned to Chase.

"Are you ok?"

"Yes. I already knew." Forman nodded and turned to Thirteen and extended his hand.

"Pay up!" Taub gave them a questioning look.

"After that case we worked together we made a bet. Forman thought those two would end up together, it was just a matter of time, and I didn't. Looks like I lost." Thirteen explained.

"You were jealous." She stated.

"I don't do jealous." He told her keeping his arms around her.

"You look cute when you're jealous."

"Ok, now you're just insulting me." He made a fake disgusted face at the use of the word cute in the same sentence as his name.

"People are watching. Do you wanna get out of here?" Cameron suggested.

"I like the way you think." They quickly grabbed their things and went down the hall passing Wilson and Cuddy.

"Cuddy is not gonna like this." She told him.

"Who cares?"

"Not me!" They stepped into the elevator.

Cuddy and Wilson stepped outside to the corridor.

"That's why is been happy lately. He was never like that with me." She realized with sadness.

"They're good together." Wilson shrugged happy for his friends.

Saw the finale this week, I already knew what was coming but it was still hard to watch…
