Disclaimer: I don't own House or any of the characters in it

This chapter is pretty short but I wanted to leave it on the cliffhanger so I apologise for it's length. The next chapter should be out in a few days hopefully. Any constructive criticism is welcome. Enjoy


Cameron's POV

They'd left her appartment and House had led her outside to a silver porsche which he told her he'd hired for the occasion. Then they'd come to the restaurant and to her huge surprise it was 'The Ritz Gold', the fanciest restaurant in New Jersey. Definitely not something she would of expected of Greg.

Now they were sitting at a private two people table in the corner of the dimly lit room, trying to decide what main course to have. They'd both had the mini crispy duck for starter, she'd suggested salad, but Greg had a huge aversion to what he called "rabbit food". After a few minutes the waiter came over and Greg ordered the steak while she went for salmon in a delicate dill sauce.

They talked quietly while waiting for their meals and when the food arrived they began to eat in companiable silence, punctuated only by short comments on the food or their day.

House's POV

When he'd picked her up she'd looked so beautiful and when he'd walked out with her he proudly noticed all the stares from the jealous guys wondering how he'd picked up such a hot woman and the jealous girls looking enviously at Ally's dress. He'd managed to do some small talk during the starter and he'd talked Ally out of the 'rabbit food' salad. He was trying not to show her how nervous he was, what with the question he would soon ask her. They had talked a little about their day and the food. he was eating the steak. Probably the best one he'd had, cooked to perfection. He looked at the way she ate her salmon, cutting it into tiny pieces and eating it delicately. Typical that perfect Ally would eat in that way.

After a while they had both finished their meal. He decided that it was the perfect time to ask and he grabbed her hand from across the table. She looked up into his face and he spoke before nerves got the best of him. "Ally, erm, well ... you see, we've only been together a very short time, but we've known each other 5 years."

"I just wanna ask ..."

"Will you marry me ... ?"


Sorry about the cliffhanger but I promise to update as soon as I can. It might seem a little sudden, the proposal, but I figure they have known each other 5 years and have a sort of connection. Hopefully the next chapter won't take too long
