Get Your Motor Running

February 12

7:00am

Cuddy's alarm clock started blaring, causing her to awake from her nice dreams. She reached up to turn it off, feeling the cold morning air. She didn't move to get out of bed, though, because she felt House's right arm wrapped around her waist pulling her closer to him and his face breathing against the back of her neck as his head was on her pillow. His arms and breath made her feel so warm and cozy and she felt like she never wanted to get up. Unfortunately, she knew House was going to get up to meet Chase at House's apartment to teach him to ride his motorcycle.

Cuddy turned herself around and started to shake his arm slightly to wake him up. House just groaned and pulled her body closer to his to keep him warm.

"Hey!" Cuddy yelled knowing that she had to use a different tactic to wake him up. House eyes quickly shot open and looked at her. She gave him a big fake smile.

"Morning to you, too," House said as he pulled her closer and started kissing her neck. He moved his right hand down and cupped her butt, giving it a squeeze.

"When you are done with your morning feel, you need to get ready so that you can meet Chase," Cuddy said. House groaned again. "Be a good boy and do as mommy says." Cuddy patted House on the head.

"You are so unfair," House said in a whiny teenager voice as he stopped kissing her neck and looked into her eyes.

"You don't have to go if you want to go grocery shopping with me instead," Cuddy said, knowing that House hated to go to the store. House looked at her and then rolled out of bed. "What a shocker." House went into the bathroom.

Cuddy made her way downstairs and made some fried eggs for herself and House to have for breakfast. House came down and as he walked up to her, he slapped her on the butt. Cuddy rolled her eyes at him.

"Are you sure you don't want to come with us today and go for a ride?" House asked her. "I could drive Chase out into the country and ditch him and then we could head for California and leave this town." House started to eat his eggs, which he enjoyed because Cuddy wasn't lying when she said she was a pretty good cook.

"I think I will wait until it is warmer out," Cuddy told him as she sat down next to him with her eggs.

"But I'll miss you," House said with his bottom lip sticking out. Cuddy leaned over and kissed him on the lips.

"I think you'll manage," Cuddy said. "Besides, you promised this to Chase. For some reason he wants to hang out with you, so you should be nice to him while the he still feels this way."

"I think that you should be nice to me while I still feel this way about you," House responded to her.

"I already control you," Cuddy said with a smile as she ate some more of her eggs. "You might want to face that fact now."

"You know, when I said that I wanted to be whipped, that's not what I meant," House said. "I didn't mean to turn you into a ball and chain."

"You really need to be clearer when you say things," Cuddy said. "I already made out my evil plans for you."

"As long as you are naked during these plans, I don't care," House said back to her. The rest of the breakfast was spent with some more smart-alecky comments from both of them before House got up and left to go meet Chase.

8:30am

In front of House's apartment

Chase was sitting in his car waiting for House. He got out of his car when he saw House park in a parking spot and started walking over to him when he saw House open his car door.

"I hope I didn't ruin your morning sex with Cuddy," Chase joked as he walked up to House.

"We had sex four times last night, so don't worry about it," House answered him. House walked over to his motorcycle. Chase slowly followed him with a surprised look on his face.

"You guys really do it that much?" Chase asked him. "Cuddy must be great!" Chase punched House on the left arm lightly and gave him that 'you dog' look.

"I thought you wanted to learn how to ride a motorcycle, not to listen to how I ride Cuddy," House said. House handed Chase his helmet to put on. House sat down on his bike and motioned for Chase to get on behind him.

"So how many guys have you given rides to?" Chase asked.

"I already talked about Cuddy's and my sex life, don't even get me started on mine and Wilson's sex life," House replied back. Chase put his hands on House's shoulders as House started the bike.

"It is a lot like riding a regular bicycle, expect that you don't have to pedal," House explained to Chase. Chase listened intently to House as he explained to him how to make the bike stop and go and how to take turns without falling off. House then took Chase on a ride, still explaining to him how to ride it correctly. After going about 10 miles, House and Chase switched positions and House let Chase do the driving.

Chase was pretty nervous at first, but he picked it up pretty fast. They drove around for about an hour, with House making some comments to strangers about them being gay together. Chase handled most of the comments pretty well, expect when House told a hot 25-year-old woman that Chase was his boy toy. Other than those comments, the morning had gone pretty well.

House and Chase were now at Starbucks getting some hot coffee to warm themselves up.

"How old were you when you learned how to ride a bike?" Chase asked House.

"Seventeen," House said. "One of my friend's dads had a bike, so one day when his parents were gone, we took it and taught ourselves how to ride it. We did this for a couple of weeks until he took it out one night to impress his girlfriend and ended up wiping out before he made it to her house."

"What did his father do to him?" Chase asked. "My dad would have murdered me." Of course, he knew that his dad would never have a motorcycle to begin with.

"He got grounded for two months," House said. "The worst part was that he told his dad that we both had been driving it for a while, so his father told my father and I ended up getting in trouble, too."

"What a jerk," Chase said.

"I was lucky I could walk straight after that," House said.

"Did you stay friends with him?" Chase asked him. "I would have never spoken to him again."

"I pretty much ignored him except for the time that we got into a fist fight right before graduation," House said.

"What happened?" Chase asked.

"His girlfriend had the hots for me and he was jealous," House said.

"Was she hot?" Chase asked. "Did you do anything with her?"

"She was pretty, but she was the minister's daughter, so I didn't want to go straight to hell for fooling around with his daughter when I didn't like her that way," House said. "Anyway, my friend got mad because she made it pretty obvious that she liked me, so he took a punch at me one day."

"Who won the fight?" Chase asked.

"After he had hit me in the jaw, I threw one punch to his nose and it started bleeding a lot, so he pretty much ran away after that," House said.

"Cool," Chase said. House and Chase spent about another hour talking. Most of the conversation ended up being rumors at the hospital. Chase told House about some of the bets he had going on at the hospital, including the one that involved House and Cuddy.

"We all know it is a matter of time before you piss her off," Chase had explained to him.
