Nurse Brenda knocks on Cuddy's door and then sticks her head in. "Dr. Cuddy? If you're not too busy I could use some help," she says.
Cuddy looks up from some file and waves her in. "What do you need help with?"
"Oh, just some patient charts. I would ask someone else but we're short today. I hope you don't mind," Brenda says.
Cuddy gives a smile and says, "No, not at all."
They go over the patient charts but Brenda is really listening. She spends as much time as she can, without making Cuddy suspicious, ogling the dean. A few passing glances was all she could get before but now Cuddy's laid out in front of her. Cuddy leans over to point something out which rewards Brenda with a nice view of her breasts. Normally she doesn't swing that way but Cuddy was something else. She was smart, funny, strong, and beautiful. Just impressive all over.
Cuddy glances her watch and remembers she's got some board meeting in a few minutes. "Brenda, I'm so sorry, but I've got to go," she says while getting up and straightening her coat.
While Cuddy leaves, Brenda gathers all the files. Damn, she thinks. I'm going to have to try some more aggressive strategies if I want to get closer. Which was fine. Aggressive suits her.

"Greg," Wilson says, House grimaces at the use of his first name, "can we talk?"
"Uh, I'm kind of busy here Wilson," House says, gesturing at the room full of doctors.
Wilson looks crestfallen but perks back up. "Well, when you're done, can you come see me in my office?" Surely House won't give up spending time with his best friend for something like work. Ha, perish the thought.
For a rare moment, House is at a loss. He really doesn't want to be alone in the same room with Wilson, the way he is now. He also doesn't want for Wilson to track him down which he would certainly do if House doesn't go see him. He just has to pick the lesser of two evils.
"Sure. I'll see you in your office in a few minutes," House says resignedly. He figures he'll get the same results, when Wilson tracks him down, but with witnesses. He has to risk being alone with Wilson.
Wilson grins and nods. He leaves the office with only one backward.
He sees Kutner out of the corner of his eye trying, unsuccessfully, to hold back a grin. He glares at him for a moment before going back to the differential.
"I don't think we can wait this out. Too dangerous," House says and sees the return of the grin.
"What else can we do?" Foreman asks.
"I could get Aphrodite. She'd be able to fix all of this but I'd rather not bring in that," Cupid stops and drops his voice down to a whisper, "bitch." He looks around, thinking the goddess might appear and smite for what he just said.
"If she can cure us, why not bring her in?" Thirteen asks. She can not go around today, much less a few days, in a blindfold.
"Her cures always have…consequences," he says with a grim look.
"I don't think we have much of a choice. Okay, you two," House says, pointing at Kutner and Thirteen, "stay with Cupid in case he needs any help. You might be more of a nuisance than a help, but we're taking no chances," Kutner rolls his eyes and maybe Thirteen did too, but you can't really tell. "Foreman, go check and make sure Cuddy and Brenda are okay. And get some videos if you can. Taub, you go to make sure Foreman doesn't run off with Chase," House says as they get up.
When they leave and the others gather around Cupid's computer, House gathers his courage and heads to Wilson's office.
A/N: I promise it will get more House/Wilson-y. Don't give up on me! Reviews would be love.
