It took me so long to upload this chapter because it didn't turned out like how I wanted it to be. I was really excited with my original chapter, but then my laptop got virus and I format it, totally forgetting to copy my finished chatpter . Anyway, here it is.

Disclaimer – I don't own House m.d

"Damn! I was doing so good.."House said while taking a few step back, looking at everything except her. Stroking his hair, he made his way to the couch and sat. Cuddy who was confused, followed his lead and sat at the other end of the couch.

"should I tell her?" House asked suddenly.

"wha…what?"Cuddy stuttered, not believing her ears as she had asked the same question at the kitchen.

"tell Alex..about us". He clarified, finally looking at her.

"that is up to you House…" Sighing, Cuddy asked "what good do you get from telling her?"

"I…it's just..so damn frustrating Cuddy and.. I didn't even noticed this before..it's weird. But I actually missed talking to you". House said and covered his face, as if ashamed with what he just said. Cuddy moved and sat next to him, putting her hand on his back, her head next to his shoulder and stroked his back. With just a little maneuver, he was face to face with her and all he can think about was the feel of her lips against his and just like that he dived in. Kissing her mouth sensually and slowly, begging entrance to her mouth with his tongue. When she refused, he moved to her neck, kissing her weak spot and lingered there until she surrenders and moved back to her mouth and seek entrance to her mouth, repositioning his head to get a better angle. His hand groped her relentlessly, pulling her closer to him which was not possible not until he grab her thigh and she was straddling him in the end. Both breathing heavily, looking each other in the eyes. Cuddy with both her hands in his hair and looking down straight into his eyes, was all he needed to recapture her mouth again. Then he trail to her neck, it feels like he had been fasting for too long, and now he just can't stop from devouring her. His mouth was now on top of her breast, that was not covered by her bra, not remembering when her blouse was gone. She can feel his graze, and let out an audible gasp both because of that and the feel of his thumb stroking her left nipple through the bra. "House…we can't"

"5 more minutes" he said, and silenced her with a kiss, while his hand was busy massaging her left breast. "House.."

"3 minutes" he said, kissing her and massaging the other breast, and when she felt a vibration came from his pocket, that was when the spell was broken. She pulled herself away from him, standing and picking up her discarded blouse. Fixing her hair, and wearing her blouse back, turning back to look at him, seeing that he was repositioning himself, no doubt uncomfortable as hell because by just looking at it, she knows that must be not comfortable at all. He reached for his phone, and for a second, he blanched thinking what he had actually done and that maybe Alex had message him, and that didn't go unnoticed by Cuddy and he know that she noticed because when he glanced at her, their eyes locked. Unlocking his phone, relief came over him as the message had come from Rob. However, the relief was only for a couple of second, because he feel sick to his stomach, thinking that Alex and Sara are waiting back at home. Their baby is waiting at home, his baby. Rubbing his face, he looked at her and she understood, that is just so like them, to understand each other without needing to voice it out, well that connection seems to be operational when they are not in a relationship.

"I'll grab you a towel" she said and made her way to the hallway closet. She came back with the towel and lead him to one of the room, betting that it's the guest bedroom.

"everything you need will probably be in there" she said reaching out to place the towel on the bed, instead House hold her wrist, stroked it and pulled her towards him.

Embracing her, both her hands lay still at her side, stroking her back he said "I'm sorry, I shouldn't do that to you. I'm sorry". He can feel her tears seeping through his t-shirt, her head at the middle of his chest, finally she allowed herself to embrace him, pulling him tighter against her for a couple of seconds and released him. "it's okay, our timing always suck. But one thing for sure, you need to give me that t-shirt though".

Looking puzzled he said "oh my gosh! Are you going to blackmail me or what?"

Cuddy chuckled "I was just trying to help you. I..I can smell my perfume on you, so.."

Looking guilty, he said "It's fine, I'll just change on my way home"

"okay" Cuddy nodded and walked out of the room. After Cuddy left, House stared at the place she stood for a while, sighing then only he made his way to the bathroom.

Cuddy seat on the couch in the living room, thinking what just happened from the moment Alex offered House to give them a ride up until a moment ago. She knew what they did was wrong. Yes, she managed to stop herself from getting any further, but she's still angry at herself for not being able to say no, because the truth is, she was also caught in the moment. To connect with him after so long, to be in his arms again, to feel the emotion she felt whenever he was around her. House, the most incredible man she have ever known and also the ONE for her. He knew her better than herself, he knew what she wanted before she even knew what she wanted. And in truth, after their relationship ended, she dated men that were totally opposite of House, and when that didn't work out, she dated men that she can see glimpse of House in them. And when that also didn't work out, she finally accepted that maybe she will always be alone. Just her and Rachel. And in a way, she's not mad at House at all. She understood where he's coming from. Their timing always suck.

He came out to the living room and said "are we okay?"

Glancing from the couch, "yea..we're okay House. That was just a slipped, slip that I would not let happen again"

"thank you" House said and just nodded.

"I'm gonna make a move"

"I'll walk you out" she opened the front door for him and before he left, he kissed her forehead.

"Goodnight Cuddy"

"Good night House".
