Here is another chapter to make up for me not being able to post one on Friday. I will probably post again next Monday. Please keep reading and reviewing. I hope you enjoy my stories.
Everybody Get Together
"You two can sit right here," the hostess said to House and Cuddy as she pulled out a sit for Cuddy at a long dining room table. House sat down next to a couple in their late twenties. House could tell that they must have had a fight because they were sitting with their chairs pulled from each other and their backs slightly facing each other.
"I'm Rebecca," the woman sitting next to House said as she stuck out her hand.
"I'm Greg and this is the ball and chain Lisa," House said as he pointed at Cuddy.
"Hello," Cuddy said to Rebecca as she pinched House's arm. Rebecca elbowed her boyfriend in the side to get him to look at House and Cuddy.
"This is Clay," Rebecca said as Clay gave House and Cuddy a nod.
"Nice to meet you," Cuddy said to Rebecca and Clay as the man from upstairs and his wife came into the room. The man immediately took the available seat next to Cuddy. Cuddy heard House let out a little laugh before he spoke.
"I'm Greg, this is Lisa, this is Rebecca, and this is Clay," House said in a fake cheery voice as he talked to the man.
"I'm Roger and this is my wife Betty," the man said more to Cuddy than House. "Where are you two from?"
"Princeton," Cuddy said noticing that the man kept looking down at her t-shirt at her chest.
"That's a lovely town," Rebecca said trying to get in the conversation. "We are from Newark. How about you?" Rebecca asked Roger.
"We live out in the country about 20 miles from here," Roger answered her. "Betty really wanted to stay here for Valentine's Day so I finally gave in and brought her here." Betty gave a smile to the crowd that was looking at her.
"Why are you two here?" House asked Rebecca. He noticed that once again Clay was lost in his own world staring at the far wall. "You also drag him here for Valentine's Day?"
"He didn't act like I was dragging him here until we got here this morning," Rebecca said with an annoyed tone in her voice. House could tell that Clay might not be getting any tonight.
"So what about you two?" Rebecca asked House.
"They are here for their honeymoon," the hostess said with a smile as she walked into the dining room with egg salad sandwiches and some breadsticks.
"Why would you come here for your honeymoon?" Clay asked turning his attention back to the group. "Shouldn't you be in Hawaii or something?"
"We're doctors so we didn't want to go too far from the hospital," House answered.
"You're a doctor?" Rebecca asked House moving her chair a little closer to him. Oh brother, Cuddy thought to herself.
"Yes and the boss lady only let us take off two days," House said. "She rules with an iron fist."
"But it's your honeymoon," Rebecca said. "Why didn't she let you take more time off?"
"Why don't you ask her?" House said pointing at Cuddy.
"He spends the majority of his workday playing Gameboy and watching General Hospital and if he took too many days off, it might put him behind on those two important tasks," Cuddy said.
"You married your boss?" Clay asked now really into the conversation. "You're a genius, dude."
"I thought that too until I realized that now she bosses my around at work and at home," House House
"Does that mean she bosses you around all the time?" Clay asked with a smile on his face to let House know what he meant. Rebecca elbowed him again in the arm to tell him to shut up. Cuddy decided she wanted to play along with House's game.
"Oh, yeah," Cuddy said to Clay with a wink. Clay's face almost fell to the floor when she said that and Roger almost choked on his sandwich.
"I am that good," House said to Rebecca causing her to blush.
"Yeah, I heard you two earlier and she really seemed to enjoy it," Roger said as his wife hit him on the arm to get him to shut up. Roger's comment caused Clay to burst out in laughter.
"You heard them doing it?" Clay asked.
"Twice," House said with a smile on his face.
"You dog!" Clay said to House.
House smirked. "They shouldn't have given us cake because they should have known I was going to smear-."
"Too much information," Cuddy said as she put her hand over House's mouth.
"Keep going," Roger said to House which caused his wife to hit him in the arm again.
"I would prefer if we could change the subject now," Cuddy said.
"I want to college at Delaware," Rebecca said changing the subject. "I majored in communications. Clay went to NYU and also majored in communications. Where did you two go to college?"
"We both went to Michigan even though I originally went to John Hopkins but I got kicked out for cheating," House said.
"It's good to know what kind of doctors we have working on us," Betty said sarcastically.
"I also have been arrested for drug possession, but the case was dropped because the cop had it out for me because I left a thermometer up his butt," House said as he pulled out his Vicodin and popped a couple. They all looked at him as he swallowed the pills. "I am still considered one of the best doctor's in the world, so who really cares about all that other stuff."
"What happened to your leg?" Roger asked remembering seeing House with a cane earlier. He thought this might be a good time to ask about it.
"Never have sex while driving a motorcycle," House said. "Apparently, your body loses control during sex."
"Was it with you?" Clay asked Cuddy.
"She won't even do it in a car when it is parked, let alone a motorcycle that is moving," House said.
"I am finished eating Gregory," Cuddy said. "Let's go wonder around town." Cuddy got up from her chair.
"Yes, boss," House said as he rose from his seat. House purposely knocked his cane over so that Cuddy would bend over and get it. He pointed at her butt and gave Clay a thumbs up when he looked over at it.
"Have a wonderful time," Clay said holding in his laughter. Rebecca waited until House and Cuddy had left the room before she punched Clay in the arm and called him a pig.
"That was fun," House said to Cuddy when they made it back to their room to get the keys to their car. "Everyone thinks I am a stud and you are a sex fiend. I guess that means we should be doing it right now to prove a point."
"I want to sightsee first," Cuddy said as she grabbed the car keys.
"Can we do it in the car?" House asked.
"No," Cuddy said. "I don't want you being crippled in the other leg." House followed her downstairs and out of the house.
"You know tonight Clay is going to have his ear plastered against out door listening to us," House said to Cuddy as she started the car.
"That is when you will prove that you are a stud," Cuddy said as she put the car in drive.
