Disclaimer: I don't own House and unfortunately the people who do are morons who screwed up the Cameron/House story
Hope you enjoy this chapter. Next one should be up in a few days since it's half term
Cameron's POV
Wow, a job with House again. That would be interesting. She guessed they'd have to be extra sneaky about their relationship for a while, well it wouldn't matter much, they were sneaky anyway and after waiting for House for 5 years she didn't really mind other people being in the dark for a while. Well, however much she'd love to sit in her office and daydream about House for a few hours she had to get back to work. She got up and grabbed her white coat and her clipboard. Stepping outside her office she walked towards her first patient while looking at her clipboard and stopped arruptly when she almost walked into someone going in the opposite direction. Looking up she apologised quickly but stopped as she saw it was Chase. "What are you doing down here Chase, you work two floors up?" "Look Alison, I wanna get back together. We were good, we could be happy, you know ..." but she cut him off with a sharp sentence, "it's Cameron, not Alison and we're not getting back together, I don't love you and I can't do it." With that she shrugged him off and hurried off to her patient.
House's POV
Now they had no patient he decided it was a perfect time to go see Cuddy about the job for Ally. He limped into the elevator and went to Cuddy's office, barging past her assistant and ignoring his attempts to prevent him entering the office. "Hey Dr Cuddy, how's your little brat of a baby?" Cuddy rolled her eyes and spoke. "Rachel is great thanks, now is there something you want or do you just like to annoy me?" "Ahh Cuddy I always love to annoy you but I do actually have a purpose in being here. Obviously the 'dark one' is leaving for Philadelphia soon and since I don't want to be bothered with that tedious interview proccess so can Cameron have the job. I mean we all know she's wasted in ER, a monkey could do her job. Plus, she's obviously the best candidate"
Cuddy looked at him with a surprised face, "you're being nice about Cameron, helping her, why?" House gave a short laugh, "isn't it obvious, my new team's ugly, even Thirteen's not that great and when Foreman leaves I guarantee she'll be gone after him a few months after max. I want some lobby art again, plus the coffee at the moment sucks. I can't take it much longer, please can I have her back Mommy." "Fine House, I'll put her forward and she'll probably get it. But if I get one complaint from her about you then you are screwed." House grinned, "don't worry Doctor Cuddles, she loved me remember." "Yh yh House ok, I'll see what I can do." "Great, see you later Doctor Cuddles." With that House left the office and went to sit and play his PSP for a few hours, after he'd left a little note for Cameron in her office.
Cameron's POV
It had been pretty busy in ER and she'd been run off her feet for hours. Finally the day came to an end and she collapsed into her chair in her office. looking over the paperwork on her desk she spotted an envelope in House's strong script addressed to 'Ally'. She smiled and opened it to read what was on the paper inside:
Dear Ally,
Cuddy's all for the job, you're pretty much in. Congratulations beautiful.
I'll be by your place at 7 to pick you up for a surprise, wear something really fancy
(and preferably low cut) and I'll see you soon
Greg x
Cameron was estatic. This was something really romantic, she'd never of expected it of Greg. Something really fancy, it was lucky she'd been to her cousin's wedding a few weeks ago. She had the perfect dress. But of course there was the Houseism in there too, "preferably low cut," well the dress would fulfil that criteria too. She gave a cheeky smile, 4.30, she had a few hours to get ready. Taking her key she locked up her office and signed out.
2 Hours Later
It was 6.30 and Cameron was putting the last touches to her makeup. She smoothed her dress when she was done and sat down on her sofa with the month's Medical Journal to wait for House's arrival, eager with anticipation about where they were going. She read for a while and she heard a knock on her door and gasped when she saw House, his stubble was trimmed and his hair was slightly less tousled than normal. He was wearing a suit like the one he wore to the poker fundraiser and a blue silk tie which brought out his bright blue eyes perfectly. He was looking at her with awe and she smiled shyly.
House's POV
She opened the door and his jaw dropped. She was breathtaking, even better than the poker fundraiser event where her dress had made him forget where he was for a second. She was wearing a strappy, full length black dress that hung onto her every curve and made him want to just take her to bed straight away. He looked from the dress up to her face, her eyes shadowed with smoky black and her lips red. Her hair curled down her back and to his complete shock it was the reddish brown her loved. "Ally, your hair?" She smiled wider, "I thought since I'm working for you again and I'm your girl again, why not go back to brunette. Blonde just reminds me of Chase and I wanna be distinguished from your hookers of course. Do you like it?" His face broke into a grin, "I love it, he can't have you back now, you truly are my girl." He emphasised the 'my' and she giggled. He grasped her hand and they made their way out of her appartment.
