A/N:I'm late, I'm sorry. I was working for two weeks straight and then My grammie died. I'm sorry. Hope this is good. A little warm if you will. Totally implied not to graphic. Hop you like!
Danielle rushed home. It was a very important day. It was their official one yeah. This time, last year, She had talked to House about making what they had something more. She smiled at the memory. She hurried home and decided to make a candle lit meal for him. Quickly she tied her hair up into a ponytail and made something simple, yet beautiful, timing it just perfectly so It would be ready by the time he got home. With a quick glance to the clock, knowing he'd be home any minute, Danielle plated the food and placed the candle sicks on the table and lit them. She pulled the apron off and pulled her hair down. She had decided to stay in her work clothes since House had told her how much he loved them. Sitting down, she waited.
Time past slowly. At first he was only ten minutes late, She told herself it was paperwork that kept him. She said the same thing after 15 minutes. Then 20. When it got to a half hour, she started to worry, that maybe he got into another accident. After forty-five minutes without a call, Danielle stood up. She leaned over, holding her hair back, and blew out the candles. Making her way in the dark, She decided to change into something more comfortable and watch TV. She tried to call him a few times, but each time, it went straight to voice mail. So with that, she went into their room and changed into yoga pants and an over sized tee shirt. Then she wiped the makeup off her face and put her hair into a ponytail. Danielle made her way back to the living room. She turned on the tv but muted it so it had the low glow and she grabbed paperwork.
At approximately 6:25 Danielle heard the the door open. She ignored it, knowing House had to walk past the kitchen and will see the cold dinner and the burnt candles. As House entered the house, he noticed the dinner and the candles, it didn't take him long to figure out what Danielle had had planned.
"Shit." he muttered, as he turned into the living room. She kept on work as she listens to him shuffle through the house. "Hey Dani," He said, making his way cautiously towards her. "I'm really sorry I'm late, there was an emergency at work, my battery died and I couldn't call. I'm sorry."
"Hmm" she gave a small snort. "Kay." He sighed.
"Are you really going to pull that card now? Really?"
"What card?" She asked, not looking at him. He sighed again.
"The avoiding me, 'I'm just gonna be a bitch and give you short answers' card." He answered.
"I don't think you are in any position to be calling me bitch my dear." She said, with clear attitude. "And I'm not avoiding you." She added with a shrug.
"So adverting your glance, being snippy and using short words to get your point across isn't avoiding?" He asked lifting her chin with one hand and cocking his head to one side, making sure to give the eyes that he knew she couldn't resist. It takes all of Danielle to not just kiss him right there.
"I'm not avoiding you. Avoiding would me not responding to you at all. And I can be snippy."
"Oh really?" He said, making his voice low and kissed her neck. "Can you?" She bit her lip to keep herself from giving into his touch.
"Yes I do. You might want to take a look at the kitchen table." With that he tenses and sighs.
"Dammit. I thought for sure this would take your mind of it" He sighed again. "I did see the nice little setup you had going and I'm sorry for ruining your perfect romantic dinner. But like I said, there was an emergency that had to be taken care off."
"Sweetie, it's been a year, you think you can still easily distract me? You couldn't call me or text me? You do have an office phone."
"You know I hate using that thing, the calls are recorded, ever since I used it to get on those sex hotlines 3 years back, and like I said, my phone died, what was I supposed to do, you know the battery sucks on that thing."
"And you couldn't ask Wilson to tell me? Or Chase, since ya know, they're both dating my best friends. Well Engaged and dating." Danielle looked at him. "And what's the problem with them hearing you tell me you'll be a little late so I don't freak, thinking you're hurt again?"
"I guess now would be a bad time to tell you that I haven't memorized your number now would it?" As he said that, he lifts his arms in front of him in defense, knowing whats coming.
"You what? Gregory! It's been a year. How..." Danielle said, completely shocked.
"Why memorize when its in the phone? I have enough going on at work without having to memorize unnecessary information."
"Unnecessary information? Really? You're Girlfriend's cell phone number is unnecessary information?!" Danielle leaned back, crossing her arms in front of her. "Or even your house number since your girlfriend lives with you."
"Oh god..." He said as he facepalms. "You know I didn't mean it that way..."
"Then how did you mean it?" She asked eyebrows raised.
"Uhmm... Ahhh... Listen are we really gonna fight today? I mean you had a nice dinner set up and I was planning on showing you a great time tonight."
"We had. You were late. I should make you earn everything." Danielle said and House caught the smirk on her face.
"Oh really?" He laughed returning the smirk. Leaning in close and whispering in her ear. "And what exactly do I have to do Miss Danielle?" Danielle bit her lip again, trying her hardest not to smile at him. She had to admit, House always knew which buttons to press, good or bad.
"I have no Idea what you mean." She said innocently.
"You said I had to earn it." He said as he walked up behind her putting his hands on her waist and kissing her neck. "So, come on. Tell me."
"I'm still completely clueless." Danielle said, trying to stay angry.
"Oh are you?" He says giving a small laugh. "Oh yes. I almost forgot," He turned and walked out of the living room and came back in with a bouquet of roses and a bottle of red wine. "I got this for tonight." He said all cutesy. Then he made his low seductive voice as he makes his way towards her and winks. He knows her weaknesses. "Happy anniversary." Danielle catches herself smiling and she can't stop herself.
"Goddammit!" She said as he came up to her. "Why can I never say no to you?"
"Maybe because I'm amazing? Handsome? Sexy and great in bed? Or," He said looking at her, a twinkle in his eyes that struck her heart. "Maybe it's because even though I'm a jerk half the time. You still love me." Danielle had her breath taken out of her lungs with that. It touched her in such a way that made her heart melt. She took the flowers from him and stood on her tippy toes and kisses his cheek softly.
"Yes I do love you, even though you are a jerkhead most of the time."
"And I love you. Even though your an annoying brat half the time." He gives a small laugh and does something he never really did before. He kissed Danielle's forehead. Danielle faked a scowl at him.
"How the hell am I a brat?" she asked as he pulled away.
"You just are." House replied, picking her up and pinning her against the wall. Danielle bites her lips as he does that.
"But that's not an answer. And I feel I deserve an answer fro waiting an hour."
"Your whiny." He laughed. "You drive me crazy."
"I am not whiny." She, well whines. "And I'm supposed to drive you nuts. You can be a total Ass you know?"
"I know but you love it." He whispered into her neck. "And you know it."
"Only some of the time." She corrected
"All the time." He said as he nibbled her neck.
"I was not happy with your ass-like antics tonight." She said biting her lip.
"Well I'm sorry baby." He said sweetly.
"You better be sorry." She said teasingly. House laughed at that
"And what if I'm not?" He challenged.
"Then you get nothing." She said teasingly.
"I beg the differ." He said softly as he slid his hand up her shirt and cupped one of her breasts, squeezing lightly. Danielle bit her lip and closed her eyes. She opened them to be staring into his blue eyes.
"oh fuck you." She said softly.
"I bet you want to, don't you?" He breathed into her neck squeezing harder.
"You're just a horrible tease, you know that right?" Danielle said biting her lip again and trying to stifle a moan.
"If I'm horrible," House said kissing her neck, "You wouldn't be trying so hard not to moan right now..."
"you are such an ass you know?" She said. her voice was soft.
"Yes, I do," he puled away and kissed her cheek, "So, is it too late to heat dinner up, I'm starving."
"Possibly." Danielle said with a wink.
"Care to do that, while I change into something more comfortable?" House asked. "By the way, you look really hot."
"I'm in sweats and a teeshirt. If you were on time, you would have seen me in my teacher outfit." Danielle teased. "fine I'll do it"
"Still hot, although you'd be better naked." He teased back. "You know I'm trying my hardest not to jump you here and now." Danielle simply rolled her eyes.
"Never stopped you before."
"Well I figured I'll just control myself till I have all my energy built up, but don't you worry babe," He said with a wink. "Your not getting away tonight."
"Why would I want to get Away?" Danielle asked. House laughed.
"I guess I'm not the only one who's a little horny tonight, huh, teacher?" He smirked.
"It's your fault." Danielle said. "I was perfectly fine being angry with you for being late. And you're always horny."
"I know." He said as he let her go. "Now then." He playfully spanked her butt. "Go heat up food,
before I decide to eat you here and now."
"Hmm." Danielle said, pretending to think. "that's a toughy."
"Later," He laughed.
"Maybe." She said walking away to the kitchen.
"You think you're getting away that easily?" he growled, walking after her, wrapping his arms around her waist and picking her up making his way to their bedroom, dinner forgotten.
I hope this was good enough to make up for being away for 3 weeks. i love you all and you can get any treat you want for a review! I am so very sorry again. And yes thanks to my Wingman for dialogue.
