Here it is-the next chapter
I don't own House md
Before he headed home, he dropped by his apartment to change his t-shirt. When he reached their home, he made his way to Sara's room, checking up on her and headed straight to their room. The room was already dark, the only light came from the television with Alex fast asleep. He stripped off his clothes and made his way to the bed. He watched her sleeping figure for awhile. As if she can feel his presence, she repositioned her body so that she was facing him and reached for his chin, giving him a kiss.
"hi" she said, stroking his stubble.
"hey" he said looking at her and stroked her stomach.
"you just got back?" House nodded and said "go back to sleep"
"emmm" she responded, snuggling him. Putting his hand behind his head, he watched the television.
He thought he was dreaming, however when he feel the movement at his lower body, he knew what just woken him up. Opening his eyes, he was met by Alex smiling down at him, her hand was busy stroking his cock inside his boxer.
"good morning" Alex said, the greeting was only responded by his groan.
"god woman" She was smiling at him, happy just watching him. Groaning he said "arghh..what are you doing to me woman?" Looking at her, all smiles, sitting crossed leg, while her hand was busy pleasuring him, he realized just how lucky he was, how many man get to wake up like this. Most women would have loss interest to have sex, but she always think of him first. Don't get him wrong, Alex love sex just as much as he loves it, now that she's still six months long, her desire to have sex are still there, feeling horny all the time and who is he to say no to her. And just to think what he was going to do last night. He was so closed to betray her last night, he pulled her towards him, she stopped him, questioning him with her eyes. "I need you" was all he said, he pulled her and spooned her, he held her close, and kissed her head. "Gre..ahhhhh" He slipped into her, caressing her breast, he knows how sensitive her breasts are right now. He just wanted to remain close to her. Even if the position does not give him the penetration that he wanted, all he cares about is her. Her need, he was going slow, entering and pulling, her hand is in his, resting against her stomach, he just wanted to feel close to her, to them.
"I'm close" Alex said.
"Let it go..Come for me hun"
"arghhhhh. I love you" She said, letting her orgasm took control of her.
"I'm sorry" he said, pulling her close, while Alex was oblivious to what he just said.
"eemmmm, did you say something?"
"I'm sorry." He said, capturing her mouth.
"hey..hey you didn't hurt me you silly" she stroked his cheek.
"I love you" House said, unable to say anything else, reaching to tuck her hair behind her ear.
"I love you too silly" giving him an intimate kiss.
Sex really connects them. Yes, he was attracted to her personality first, then after going into the relationship, they found that sex was what they love the most and from there on, it became their regular activities. That was how they spend their first couple of months together. Alex was a single mother, and besides that she took care of her father too, so that made her to push sex out of her mind for a while. But after meeting House, that changed, he brings out the wild side and also the best of her. She also brings out the best of him, both of them, Alex and Sara. And in the end they became each other's rock. She was lucky that Greg was there when her father died, and glad that her father got to know him. She really believes that her father died with peace knowing that Greg was there and as always Greg being Greg, he teased her about it.
"Hey, you okay?" House asked, encircling his arms around Alex, pulling her hair to one side and kissed her neck.
"yeah. I just feel tired and my feet are killing me" she kissed him on the mouth and wiped her hand on the kitchen towel.
"okay..Sara asleep?" he asked, reaching for a beer from the fridge.
"yeah, I just put her to bed"
"sorry I was late. They heard that some big shot are coming to the café tomorrow, so the kids were double checking everything with me" He explained
"it's fine. I think I'm gonna head in first" she said and planted a kiss on his cheek.
"okay" certain that she didn't hear him as she just walked out from the kitchen.
By the time he walked into the bedroom, Alex was already in the bed and the room was dark. He took his time in the bathroom, washing up, changing his clothes and eventually settled in the bed knowing full well that she's still wide awake.
"wanna talk about it?" he asked after she snuggled into him.
"it's nothing, it's just stupid, you know how hormonal pregnant woman can be" she explained, rubbing his chest.
"I want to know about this stupid thing" he said, kissing her forehead.
"it's just that Lisa has been busy and Jenn is busy with her new kid, I feel like I have no place to ramble to"
"I'm here, you can ramble to me and I bet you would be as busy as Jen when the baby comes and I'm sure Lisa is busy with her work and Rachel. Come on, you were single parent once" he said, consoling her.
"For three consecutive weeks? As much as I love rambling to you, it's nice to ramble to someone that have the same gender"
"What? You mean Sara is a boy?" he laughed "where is all this coming from?"
"I told you it's stupid, don't get me wrong, I love Sara, but I can't exactly bad mouthed her dad to her now can I?" she whined
"Well, I don't mind as long as you're happy" House said
"Well, I mind. Besides, she will just rant to you about the things that I said"
"Well, she is my girl" He said grinning "so, who's been picking up Rachel?" he asked, his interest piqued.
"Lisa still picks Rachel up, sometimes the nanny but whenever she came, it's just a quick chat here and there"
"Want me to drag her here and tie her up so you can chat with her?"he asked in a serious manner.
She laughed, shaking her head and said "you're a good husband Greg" giving him a sweet kiss.
"I'm sure she's just busy and she missed you too"
"I miss her" Alex said finally.
"You know, someone used to say that, keeping feelings inside are not good for your health, if you want, you can express your feelings towards me now, just imagined that I'm her" he said capturing her mouth.
"Yeah, I think I can" she said, straddling him
"Seriously?" he asked shocked
"Greg!"
"What? You know how much girl on girl action turned me on"
"Yeah well, keep talking and the only action you'll get is your own hand on your own package action"
He laughed
"What?" she asked annoyed.
"Who the hell still uses the word package anymore?"
As an answer to that, she grind his groin, that managed to shut him up.
The next morning, after he had breakfast with Alex and Sara he left early for the café preparation. Alex's mood seems better than last night. Needless to say, the café was busy as expected, the VIP arrived for a late lunch, so basically they will probably have to go home late that day. The problem usually arose when the VIP came late, that means the workers would probably have to finish late. He really wanted to leave the café early, so that he can help Alex with Sara that day. As he was leaving, Rob stopped and said his goodbye, that was what he usually do but then that night he had to eat that damn black forest mousse in front of him. Damn.
"Do we still have that Mousse?" House asked
"emm, I think so, when I grabbed this, there were like five more left I think" Rob replied
He sighed and glanced at his watch, making calculation so that by the time he reached her house, hopefully Rachel would probably be asleep. "wrap them up for me then" House said
He knocked on her front door, waited for a while, and knocked again. He heard her instruction to hold on for a second, he did and listened to her footsteps. Glancing through the peephole, her heart quicken, she glanced down to her bath rope. She was about to put on her nightdress when he knocked, she was thinking, is it possible to change into something first. It was decided for her when he knocked again. Reluctantly, she opened the front door.
"Rachel's asleep?" he asked
"Yeah" she said not opening the door wider.
"I brought your favourite dessert" he said cheerily
"What do you want House?" she asked irritated
"Can I come in?" he raised his eyebrows.
"I don't think that's a good idea"
"We need to talk Cuddy" he said pleadingly. "please"
She opened the door wider to let him in.
"You can put the dessert in the fridge, I'm gonna put some some clothes on. Then we're going to talk" she said staring straight into his eyes.
He nodded, and made his way towards the kitchen, but can't help to stop midway to glance her way.
When she entered the kitchen, the kitchen was dark, the only light came from the back porch. She reached for the light switch and the light illuminated them. She can see that he just finished off a glass of water, standing by the counter and she decided to sit at one of the stool opposite him. She waited for him to start. He looked at her for the first time, she was wearing a grey turtle neck sweater and a baggy pants. She was all covered up to be exact. After a moment of silence, he cleared his throat and finally said. "I thought we agreed on being friends?"
"Did we?" she asked back
"Cuddy"
"I don't think I can" she said "I like Alex, I really do, I love being her friend. But that means I have to see you too and I don't think I can" she said shaking her head.
"You're seeing me now Cuddy"
"You know what I mean"
House looked confused, not understanding what she meant.
"I still love you, you idiot"
"But..I thought that. Don't do that Cuddy, you don't love me"
"Really? You know this how?"
"I think you forgot something Cuddy, you left me remember?"
"That was completely for a different reason, I still love you and I think what we did three weeks ago was also a prove that I still love you"
"What did we do three weeks ago?"
"Don't be an ass House! What do you want from me? Because I don't know what you want from me!"
"I want Alex to have her friend back, her friend Lisa, do you remember her?"
Her tears are threatening to fall. Of course he's here for her. "You made me feel like I'm an awful person House" her tears felt.
He took a few steps towards her, weighing whether to touch her or not, he decided not to.
"She misses you. She didn't say it but I know her and she doesn't has anybody else. She has me and Sara, and that is it. Until you and Rachel came along, she doesn't have a lot of friend. Okay, she doesn't have friends except for you and Jen. And to be honest, Jen is not really her friend. You are"
"I don't think I can"
"Yes you can. The thing is Cuddy, I know you too, you don't have friends and…you and Alex are good together"
"You don't know that. Maybe I have a lot of friends now. Maybe after we broke up, I changed my whole life and start to have my own group of friends" she explained
"Do you? have a lot of friends now?" he asked seriously, completely ignoring her comment about their relationship.
"No"
He sighed, "Alex need you"
"Do you?"
"I…yes, I need you Cuddy" he resolved, looking straight into her eyes. "I need you to be my wife's friend"
"But not yours?" she asked
"Maybe down the line, yes." Hesitating, he voiced out, "We used to be friends right?"
"Did we? We worked together, we were lovers. But never friend"
"hmm…I think, in our uncommon way, we were friends. So Lisa Cuddy, can we be friends?" he asked sincerely, handing his hand out.
She stared at his hand, then his face. Maybe this is what they are meant to be, friends. At least he will still be in her life. "yeah, why not" she said, smiling and reaching her hand out to shake his hand.
"Thank you" he said and she nodded.
"You're welcome House"
Making their way towards the front door, she asked him "you are happy aren't you House?" she asked glancing his way
"Yes, I think so" he said smiling. "And I hope you are too Cuddy, even though it'll still be hard for me to watch it. But I really hope you will be happy. Lets face it, I am a bastard that is jealous of others" he said.
Cuddy pulled the front door open and he stopped in front of her, looking at her face. She reached for him and planted a kiss on his cheek. "this is allowed right? I mean as a friend?" she asked.
He chuckled, and planted a kiss on her forehead "good night Cuddy" and step out of the house.
A little bit of preview
When he walked into the dining room, the table was half way done, he made his way towards the kitchen where Cuddy was stacking some of the plates to bring in front.
"I told you I'll do that" he said
Jerking she said "you scared the hell out of me" she scoffed
He just grinned, and reached for the plates from her hand, accidentally brushing her hand.
She gasped shocked at the contact, nearly releasing all the plates, luckily she didn't.
"I got this" he said and left.
She steadied herself by grabbing the counter behind her and took a deep breath.
