"So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me
'Cause you might fuck around and find your dreams come true, with me
Spent all your time and your money just to find out that my love was free
So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
It's not a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
Not such a bad thing to fall in love with me
(Not such a bad thing to fall in love with me)
[Bridge:]
No I won't fill your mind
With broken promises and wasted time
And if you fall, you'll always land right in these arms
These arms of mine."
(Justin Timberlake – Not Such a Bad Thing)
Chapter 9: Trouble is Brewing as a Witch Blew into Town
Stacy Warner parked outside a building. She saw a young blonde woman in her mid thirties wearing a very sexy black, lacy babydoll bra top that lined around her midriff. It was deep cut with a large bow in the middle. The top had a matching low rise g-string thong as it added to the sex appeal and suggestion of the wearer. The woman moved about the condo picking up and cleaning after herself and her beloved. She bent over, picking up scraps of clothing and another pile with scraps of fabric. She sat on the couch and dragged a trash bag and hamper next to her. The first item she placed in a hamper and then picked up the scrap of fabric. She shook her beautiful face forlornly over the scrap of fabric and threw it in the large trash bag. A few minutes later, a handsome man came into the living room. He looked like he was in his late forties to early fifties but seemed to have a great physique as he walked in shirtless and only wearing a pair of black boxer-briefs. He came up to the woman and kissed her on the head before sitting down on the couch beside her. They began conversing as the man turned the woman's face to his and kissed her deeply. He hugged her close to him and the woman placed her head on the man's shoulder. The man placed little kisses on the woman as both hugged each close, unwilling to let the other go. She watched the loving couple for a few minutes until she heard her phone go off. She picked it up.
"Hello. Hi Lisa. I just got into town. No, I'm not here to cause trouble. I know he was just fully reinstated in his department. I know he has been through so much but I love him. I have always loved him. I know. I won't cause trouble. Yea, I'll see you in a bit. I'll be there in a few minutes."
She watched the couple as the man picked up the woman and placed her on his lap. He brushed her hair out of her face as he stroked her face with his other hand. He pulled her face and held with both of his hands as he kissed her. He then pulled the top off of her and grabbed her panty from behind and pulled it off of her. She arched her body so he could slide it off of her and throw it behind her. She placed her hand in between them as she yanked his underwear off. Soon, Stacy saw the man enter the woman as they began to have sex right in front of her. She grew livid as the man continued to move with the woman pulling the woman closer as he did so. As they finished, she saw the man get up while remaining inside her as the woman wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his middle. They then moved from the living room into the bedroom. Stacy's eyes grew angry as she got out of the car and moved to one of the cars parked next to a motorcycle. She used her keys to write her message and then moved back to her own car. She looked at her watch and realized she was late for her dinner with Lisa and her boyfriend. She had never met this Lucas but from what she heard, he seemed like a nice guy. After her divorce with Mark, she threw herself into her work while finding herself inside bars and drinking all her pain away. In one of her nights in her frequent bars, she met a man who procured cocaine and she tried it. They soon had sex after. The man often provided her with drugs when they met up for sex but she found herself empty for she lacked the love she wanted. It was then she realized that she never should have let go of Greg House. It was soon after that, that their life began to tumble out of control. She married a man she did not really love and when they came back to Princeton last time, Mark found out how she felt for House and ended their marriage. She no longer talked to her ex-husband. The last she heard he was engaged to another woman he met at work. She hoped she would find happiness soon as well. She drove to the restaurant and hoped that the benefit tomorrow would change her life soon. Ironically, the night held completely different changes for her life than she might have realized.
House and Cameron lay on their bed as she wrapped her legs around his. She leaned closer to him as if she could not get close enough. She lay on top of him as he stroked her back soothingly.
"Feeling better? You not upset with me anymore?" It was two days since Chase's unexpected visit and since then Cameron and House rarely left each other's side. Unfortunately, it left Cameron's lingerie empty as he kept ripping them off her body. She shook her head as she laid her head on his chest. "I'll take you to buy more. I promise. Whatever you want. I have to have them put your name on my credit card anyway so that the credit card company doesn't flag you when you use it."
"I don't need your credit card, Greg. I have my own money."
"Even so, I'll still add you as an authorized user. I'm sorry I ruined your favorite one."
"You didn't have to rip it, Greg. All you had to do was pull it over my head like you always do." He had ripped a short, sheer red, lacy babydoll that had had a medium size ribbon under the breast line and the top had embroidery and delicate little designs. It had a slit on the front that was placed on the left. The slit went high; past the belly button, and it came with a matching g-string which he also ripped. She was upset and stormed out soon after they finished another session of lovemaking. He came after her to find her cleaning up the mess they had made giving him the silent treatment. "That was the second one you ruined that was my favorite. Two nights ago, you ruined my teddy bodysuit." She looked up at him pouting.
"I'm sorry, Baby. It isn't my fault that you're so hot that I can't help myself. I'm impatient. I promise not to ruin your favorites anymore, okay?" She nodded. "We'll go get more and if I rip another one, you can take my card and buy as many as you want. Okay?" She smiled and kissed him before dropping her head back down. She soon fell asleep. He smiled down at her and soon fell into a blissful sleep. He woke up a few hours later to find her moving on top of him. They had another round of lovemaking and soon after she fell back to sleep on top of him. He grinned and then followed suit. They definitely were insatiable, but had a healthy sex life.
They woke up the day of the benefit and got ready for work. They ended up taking his motorcycle as they saw what was written on her car doors. The words "WHORE" and "SLUT" were written in large letters on both sides of the doors. On the way to work, they called the insurance company and the police to let them know what happened. The car was on its way to be repaired and now the case was being investigated. Since that morning, the only interesting thing they found was that Stacy was back from Boston and working in PPTH once more. House and Cameron were having lunch with Rachel and Wilson, who seemed to be getting serious as well.
"So you don't know who did that to your car?" asked Wilson
"No. But I'm pissed. I'm tempted to just get new cars but I am afraid what this crazy nut might do with the new ones if I do. I'm going to have to hire a car to get us to the benefit, wanna ride? I was thinking a driver so we don't have to worry about it?" House asked his best friend.
"Sure, why not? I'm just worried because we don't know who this person is and I don't like that she was outside your condo last night and God knows what she saw and what else she did."
"HAHA. Rach. But that's not what I'm worried about: what else could she do while I am here and not at home?" She turned to House who kissed her head to reassure her. She was once again sitting on his lap while they were eating their meal.
"But really Ally, first Chase saw you and it is possible this chick."
"It is not my fault people are peeping toms while we are at home. I feel a bit violated this person might of saw that. I mean Robert was an accident but this person is unknown." The group nodded.
"I won't let anyone harm you, Ally. Whoever this person is, we'll deal with it together okay?" She nodded. "I was thinking of looking at homes anyway. Mozie needs a backyard to play in and in the future, so will our kids." Rachel and Wilson gasped but Cameron just smiled and gave him a quick kiss. "Jimmy, isn't one of your ex-wives a realtor? Do you think she can show us houses?"
"I'll see what I can do."
"I want one near parks and good schools." The group looked at the man and realized he had been thinking about it for quite some time. "How about you; what do you want?"
"A walk in closet for our clothes?"
"We'll just build one if you want, Baby. When we get the house we'll build one, but if it comes with the house then that's a bonus." She smiled brighter. The little things he did made her so happy. She hadn't felt like this before and she loved how she felt. It made it feel right and it felt like home. He was home. No matter where he was, she would follow.
Wilson looked up to see a woman walking towards their table. He saw who it was and tapped Rachel who then mouthed 'Stacy'. He nodded and took a deep breath.
"House, uh…"
"What Jimmy? Cat got your tongue?" Rachel looked worried as she wearily looked at her sister and the woman heading towards them. Cameron turned from House's lap to see who her sister was looking at and her mouth dropped. "Baby, what's wrong? What?" He looked to see who Cameron was looking at and pulled her closer. "Don't worry about her. She doesn't hold a candle to you. Not now or ever, okay?" She nodded. He gave her a kiss as Stacy Warner reached their table.
"Hi Jimmy. I heard you were in here. I just wanted to let you know I was back and wanted to ask if you wanted to have dinner or lunch, as friends of course."
"Hi Stacy. I heard you were back but I just haven't had a chance to visit your office as of yet." He turned to Rachel. "Rach, this is Stacy Warner. She is an old friend and she used to work here in PPTH but left with her husband for a job in Boston. She and House actually dated, but that's in the past." He turned to Stacy. "Stacy, this is Rachel Stevens. She's the new psychiatrist here and Cameron's sister." Rachel nodded but said nothing more. Stacy nodded her response and turned to House who obviously didn't care that she was standing there as he was sitting there nuzzling Cameron's neck. From time to time, he would give her kisses under her ear as Cameron found herself tipping her head to give him better access.
"Hi Greg. How are you?" He was so busy that he didn't even notice that his ex was talking to him. "Greg?"
"Don't mind them. They are like this all the time. They won't notice we're here. Trust me, we tried. There have been times when we just left them and they didn't even realize we left until they looked up. By then we were long gone." Rachel replied as if making it more obvious that House and Cameron were very serious.
"Greg?" She ignored Rachel and tried to get House's attention once more. When that did not stop him, she nudged him and he glared at her. House was angry at who had dared to interrupt him while he was with his Ally.
"What? We're busy. Go away." He picked up Cameron and set her on her feet and began to drag her away from his ex. "Let's go, Baby. This place turned ice cold and I need you to warm me up." He leered at Cameron who blushed. "Bye Jimmy. Bye Rach." He did not even bother to acknowledge Stacy as he pulled Cameron away. Cameron looked at her before putting her other hand on top of the one he was holding. When the couple left the cafeteria, Stacy looked on in wonderment.
"Yea. He probably won't come out until it is time to go. It's a wonder he even works here, but I think the only reason is because Ally is still here. Wherever she is, he's there. Those two are rarely apart from each other." Stated Wilson. "So how are you? How is Mark? We can double date when you two get settled."
"Mark and I have been divorced for a while now."
"Oh. I'm sorry to hear that. Is that why you left Boston? Too many memories?"
"No. We just did not work out. I never really loved him. Not like…" Her voice trailed as she continued to stare at where the couple left.
"Listen Stacy, those two have been through a lot."
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"I know you have feelings for House and I'm warning you now, if you hurt her, you won't just have me and Jimmy to worry about, but our brother and House too. House is very protective of Ally. It's a wonder the man doesn't have her in bubble wrap, but then he wouldn't get any nookie so I guess that's why." Rachel laughed and Wilson laughed as well.
"They're serious then?"
"He gave her a promise ring but they are not engaged yet. It's only a matter of time though since he just asked me if Bonnie could help him find a house for them." Stacy turned to Wilson so quick that it might have caused whiplash. She was shocked. This was not the Greg House she remembered. "I know, but this House is not the one you dated. This one is very committed and very in love with Ally. It's still quiet shocking and people still gawk at them but, again, I highly doubt they notice."
Lucas Douglas and Lisa Cuddy sat where Cameron and House vacated as Lucas asked Wilson a question.
"Are we talking about Ally and House again? I just saw them rushing out of here."
"Yes. House saw Stacy and dragged Ally out of the cafeteria."
"Of course. They are never apart…then again they are probably having afternoon delight again. Those two are insatiable. Poor Robert…I think he still can't shake the mental image of them having sex. It's his fault though. He knew better than to barge in their condo uninvited." Stacy looked at Rachel and Lucas as she stood there listening to what was being said.
"Yea but you know it's fun to tease her with it. Her cute little blush is adorable as we tease her about her little sexapade with House."
"It is. I mean two months ago I wouldn't think I would be close to you and Ally…even House actually but here I am."
"It's part of being in the family. You'll learn to get used to it. I mean you two are married so technically Lisa is my sister in law." Stacy was confused but then realized Lucas was Cameron and Rachel's brother.
"You're the brother…"
"Yep. What do you mean by that exactly?"
"We were just saying what would happen if Ally got hurt and I listed you as one of the people who would be angry."
"Oh hell yea. If House doesn't get to the person first. He'd go postal if someone hurt her. I mean from what I heard from you months ago…I would not like to see that one repeated while he is actually here and not there." Stacy waited for clarification but the quartet did not. They merely just nodded.
"Lisa, you're married but you never said…"
"We eloped last week when we flew to Las Vegas. My mother was livid but it is my life not hers. Besides, my daughter loves Luke and already calls him 'Daddy' and we were already living together. I figured we may as well make it legal. It was a very spur of the moment decision and I'm sorry that I didn't tell you. It slipped my mind that you didn't know." Stacy nodded, feeling awkward and left out. "We'll catch up soon okay? We have so much to talk about."
"Yea…" She remained quiet and then told the group that she had to go. She went to her office and pulled out a small vial of white power and her mirror from her purse. She unscrewed the top and poured a small amount on top of her square mirror and took out a razor and began running it back and forth over the powder to cut it up. She took out a clean straw and began snorting the powder and then wiped her nose clean after she was done. She then began putting the materials back in her purse and began working. She had a plan and she just needed to stick to it.
The night of the benefit arrived and House found himself waiting for Cameron while sitting on the couch playing with Mozie.
"How long do you think Mommy will take Moz?"
Cameron went to their bedroom and changed out of her work outfit. She decided to freshen up by taking a fast shower. She applied her vanilla body cream and spray and put on a sheer black bustier that had boning on the side. It had a demi-cup lining and adjustable straps and tiny little ribbons strategically placed in the bustier. It also fastened in the back but could easily be slipped on without the fastenings. The bustier came with a matching g-string thong and garter belt as Cameron put on some sheer black knee highs and attached it to her garter belt. She then took a v-cut crepe dress with sheer sleeves that came above her knees. She curled her hair and put it up, but left strands to fall on the sides of her face. She added bobby pins on the beautifully placed bun on her head to hold it in place and picked up her four inch black and white stripped strappy shoes and her red clutch. She had on some Smokey eyes and shimmery eye shadow with red lips. She smoothed her dress with her hands as she walked out of the bedroom.
House stood up and placed Mozie on the floor who then ran back to his bed near the kitchen. House went up to her and gave her a kiss behind her left ear as he went to the desk to pick up a jewelry box. He had it ordered and delivered a week ago to give to Cameron. He pulled out a ten karat white gold diamond necklace. There were two hearts: one large, plain white gold and in the middle was a smaller with four little single-cut diamonds. He told her to turn around so he could place it around her neck. He gave her neck another kiss before stepping back. She grazed the necklace on her neck. She grinned and gave her love a kiss as a thank you. They kissed passionately until they heard a knock on the door. A man in a black suit was behind the door as House opened it. He introduced himself as Harry, the driver they paid for the evening. House led Cameron by the hand and followed Harry out. Outside was a shiny black limo. Harry opened the door as Cameron slid in and House followed suit. House picked up Cameron and had her sit on his lap once more as the car pulled out of the building. House pushed the button to put the black partition up between the passengers and the drivers and he turned Cameron so she could straddle him. They began to heavily kiss as she grinded up and down on top of his lap. They did not even notice that the car stopped and opened to allow Rachel and Wilson in.
"Hm! Look, Jimmy they started early." House and Cameron pulled apart as they heard the commotion. Cameron tried to get off his lap but he maneuvered her so she could not. He encircled his arms around her like a cage and nuzzled her neck. "I like your dress, Ally. I'm sure Greg liked it. Though, from what I gathered he liked it a great deal." Cameron blushed as Rachel and Wilson laughed. House just smirked and continued to give her kisses. They talked about trivial things but soon after they began to talk about Stacy. Wilson caught up House as he told his friend about his ex. House looked impassive, like he really did not give a damn.
"And this is supposed to concern me because? Stacy and I are long over and I don't give a fuck if she and Mark divorced. I'm with Ally and I'm staying that way. She can go to hell for all I care." The other people in the limo looked at the crude man as he bluntly told them how he felt about his ex. "Stacy will always be a mistake. I don't think I ever loved her. It was all sex and it wasn't even that great…now Ally, she's the packaged deal." House looked at her, stroked her cheek and mouth, to convey that he loved her, to which she reciprocated.
The car stopped as they arrived at the hospital. The two men exited first to help their ladies out of the car. They were dressed in tuxedos for the benefit. Rachel exited first in a short black illusion beaded dress that she wore with black pumps. She wore diamond drop earrings to complete her attire. She held a silver clutch as she stood next to her date. Cameron exited next as House walked closer and held out his hand to help her. She leaned over and carefully exited as he pulled her closer to him. They began walking to the entrance as they saw black, white, and silver balloons placed around the large room. There were numerous circular tables and each had a dozen chairs for their guests. The group went to find their names as they found their table. They were seated with Cuddy and Lucas, but unfortunately with Stacy as well.
Rachel and Wilson took their seats as House glared at the name card that was seated next to Wilson. He would be sitting directly across from her and he did not like that. He scowled and grumbled as he took his seat. He pulled Cameron back on his lap as they waited for more guests to arrive. To the left of House sat Rachel and next to her was Wilson. To the right of Cameron's seat would be Lucas and right next to him would be Cuddy. In between would be the heads of other departments in the hospital, and Stacy. Lucas and Cuddy walked in and hugged the group and Lucas took his seat next to where Cameron would be sitting.
Soon after, Stacy arrived in a front slit, backless dress with heels. She let her hair down and had no jewelry. She carried a silver rectangle clutch as she sat down in the seat in front of her name card.
"Dr. Cameron, there are seats. Are you going to sit on his lap all night?"
"If I have my way, Ally will." He looked down to Cameron. "You don't mind do you, Baby?" She shook her head and placed her head back on his chest. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her head. He turned to Stacy and smiled smugly. "Hi Stacy. Looking old. Who is your date?"
"I came here alone."
"Couldn't find someone who wasn't afraid of your ice-cold exterior?"
"I don't know what you are talking about Greg. I didn't have time to find a date. Why do you care?"
"I don't. I just don't want to hear you try to make conversation with me is all." He turned his face from her as he went back to nuzzling Cameron's neck with his nose. He added small kisses as he began nipping at her exposed skin. Wilson cleared his throat and he looked up. Stacy looked livid but House did not seem to care at all. He was whispering at Cameron.
"Baby, what set do you have under this dress?" She shivered under his touch. He leaned closer and slid his hand under, discreetly fingering the garter first, then finding the little thin material he was seeking. He touched her mounds on top of her underwear as she closed her eyes. "You like that don't you, Baby?" He slid his finger under the fabric and started to fondle her wet molds. She squeezed her eyes tighter and bit her lip to muffle her moans. "You okay, Baby?" She did not answer. "Let go, come on." She grabbed him by his jacket and pulled him into a searing kiss as she came down on her high. "See much better. Isn't it?" He grinned evilly at her as she glared at him for a minute and then nodded her head. He pulled her back to his chest as the people at the table looked on. Rachel cleared her throat and leaned over to them.
"Why do I have a feeling you two just did something naughty in front of us?" She laughed and then went back to talking to Wilson and her brother. Cameron turned from her position and placed her head on his shoulder.
"Tired, Baby?" She nodded as she kissed his neck and then placed her head back to the original position. Cuddy got up on the podium and made a speech about the hospital before stepping down. She went back to their table as they brought the food and placed it on the tables. Cameron got up from his lap and sat on her own chair. He moved her chair so it was closer to his as he placed his arm around her waist. He leaned over to kiss her head before starting to eat his appetizer. Soon after the soup and salad were placed in front of him, he pushed his salad towards her and she pushed her soup towards him. The other people on the table looked at the couple. House took his spoon and plunged in to his soup. He took a mouthful before sticking the spoon back on his bowl. He took a spoonful of his food and placed his spoon in front of Cameron offering her some of his soup. She grinned and took his offering before finishing her salad. She knew he did not like greens but took a fork full of the chicken and offered it to him the way he had done for her. He leaned over to kiss her before turning back to his food.
Stacy looked at the scene in front of her. She did not know what to make of it as she saw House so openly smitten with his ex-employee. She looked to see everyone else looking at the couple but the couple did not seem to notice, as they seemed to be content with feeding each other morsels of their food. Soon, the band began to play as one by one people began to take their partners to the dance floor. She looked uncomfortable as House and Cameron got up as well as Wilson and Rachel, leaving her alone on the table.
"Baby, that was not funny. People could have seen."
"Oh come on now, Baby, you know very well that you enjoyed it."
"That is beside the point."
"Okay, I won't play anymore till later." He pouted. "You ruined my fun." She patted his chest and pecked his lips.
"I promise." They continued to move to the music as they got lost to the moment. As the slow music began to fade, he dragged her away from the dance floor. They went to the bar and ordered their drinks. They waited for their order and as the bartender placed their drinks in front of them, the couple stayed to drink them. House had his scotch and Cameron had her martini. They downed their drinks and ordered another. They carried their drinks back to their table. House sat down as pulled Cameron on his lap while they drank their liquor.
Cameron was in the bathroom when she heard someone next to her in the handicap bathroom. She heard what sounded like groaning and moaning. Soon, she heard muffled sounds as a woman's voice was heard.
"Come on, you can do better than that." Cameron knew that voice. She kept quiet as she continued to listen. There were two people in that stall, one was Stacy and the other was unknown. Cameron was trapped because she did not want the couple in that stall to know she was there, but she really did not want to hear this. "I thought younger men would be hotter, but really, age is not all that." Whoever Stacy was with was definitely a man, but she did not know who. The stall opened to the man to reveal her ex, Robert Chase as he hurriedly tried to get away from the woman. A few minutes later, the sexually frustrated woman was angry as she went to wash her hands and opened the door to the bathroom exit. Cameron came out looking puzzled as she used the sink to wash her hands. She saw Stacy's eyes and there was something off with them. They looked rabid and crazed. Before she could think further, a knock outside the bathroom was heard as House peeked in.
"You okay, Baby? You were in there quite a while. I came to check if that round supple little ass had fallen in the toilet." He grinned at her jokingly. She shook her head no and got out of the bathroom with him trailing behind her. They; however, did not go back to the party. Instead they took the elevator and went inside his office. "What's wrong? I know something is bothering you." She told him what occurred in the bathroom and he started laughing. "So you mean to tell me the wombat couldn't get her off?" She nodded. "Oh this keeps getting better. Why again did you want Jen with him?"
"Greg, you're missing the point. Something is wrong with Stacy. Her eyes, there were something off with them."
"Baby, Stacy's always been off."
"It's just they looked dazed and like crazy…almost like…"
"What? Like what?"
"I think she was on drugs."
"Really?"
"Yes. I'm not sure if I can confirm it, but her behavior tonight might confirm it." He nodded as he let the subject go for now.
"You know I had fantasies of you here while you were working for me."
"Really?" He nodded. "What?" He walked around locking the balcony door and pulling the blinds forward. He locked his office as he walked up to Cameron.
"I fantasized taking you from behind on this very desk." Her eyes glazed over at the table and then at House. She took one hand and placed it on her shoulder as she pulled the dress off one side and then the other until she stood there in her undergarments. He looked at her as he grew stiff. He too started pulling his clothes off, leaving him in his underwear. He unfastened her garter belt as he pulled his underwear long enough for his penis to come out. He put a finger on her left thigh as he trailed it along before pulling the thong down her legs. She stepped out of them as she bent forward. He began unfastening her corset on the back as he entered her hard. They began moving as they relived his fantasy. "Oh…this is so hot. So much better than that fantasy though."
"No more talking. More moving and harder!" He pulled out and went back in as she arched her back to move with him. He grabbed her hips as he continued to thrust hard behind her. He pulled out and flipped her and plopped her on his desk as he stood in between her and entered her once more. He began tackling her breast kissing and biting them. After a while, their orgasm hit and their breathing evened out as he kissed her. He pulled out and pulled his underwear back on. "I think I like this one. For the record, I had the same one. Though, you're right, the reality is so much better." He grinned brightly as they dressed once again. He helped her with the clasp on her corset before allowing her to finish dressing. She fixed her hair and checked her appearance before they walked hand in hand out of his office.
Stacy followed the couple up the elevator and hid behind another office before slipping back to spy on House and Cameron. She saw them enter his office and saw him close and lock the door. Soon after she heard voices and muffled sounds as she heard it getting louder and louder. She heard Cameron and House talk and found out they were having sex in his office. She grew jealous but waited for them. She waited over thirty minutes before the couple came out, looking freshly fucked and reeking of sex. She ran and hid back outside before they found out she was ever there. When they went inside the elevator, she came out and stood in front of the hallway. She knew she was losing but she did not know what to do. She needed to get laid and fast. She needed more coke too. She pulled her phone out of her purse and dialed Tyler.
"Hey Baby. I need you. I need…yea. I'm in NJ. Here is my address." She listed off her address. "I know but I need it. Yea, it's gone. I used the majority of it this week. How long?" She waited. "Oh…no problem. I miss you too. I'm lonely here without you." She said seductively to the man on the line. "Okay. I'll talk to you soon." She hung up the phone and placed it back in her purse. She took her coke vial and held it up against the light. With a sigh, she placed it back in her bag. She walked to the elevator and got in.
Wilson came out of his office as Stacy left. He motioned for Rachel to come with him.
"I think we have a problem. I think we just found who keyed Ally's car and their creepy stalker. Sadly, they are the same person."
"Did you see what she pulled out? That's cocaine! No wonder she was acting funny and her eyes…her eyes were glazed over."
"We don't know if she's taking it yet. We need more information. I should call Mark to get more information. I wonder if we should alert Lisa."
"I'm not sure. I mean, what if all we saw is nothing at all. We don't have concrete evidence."
"I know. This worries me. And what about House and Ally? She is borderline stalking them."
"That is just disturbing on all levels. What is up with these people watching them while they have sex?"
"They are kind of hot when they go all at it…"
"True but still she's my sister."
"Yes. Again, so disturbing."
"Let's just go back to the benefit and we'll come up with something. I have a sister to tease." She grinned and Wilson laughed as they went back downstairs.
Cuddy walked up to Wilson and Rachel. She looked frustrated and exhausted.
"Where the hell have you two been? You two better not be up here doing God knows what. I have enough of that from those two." She pointed to House and Cameron. "I don't need it from you two." She shook her head and mumbled something that sounded like, "It's like this hospital is full of children instead of adults. I am starting to wonder about my doctors." She walked away to find her husband.
"Poor Lisa. I keep telling her to hire more help but she doesn't listen." Stated Wilson.
"Lisa is a very tough woman. She can handle it. I think she likes working in fast paced environments. I think it challenges her to do better the next time around. She'll be fine and she handles House fine even though sometimes she wants to kill him. I highly doubt Ally will allow that, but then again, that's something my little sister would probably help Lisa with. The man can be so frustrating." Wilson laughed.
"Don't I know it. I don't know how Ally does it. She lives with him twenty-four seven. And she's around him even at work."
"I think they prefer it that way. It's why sometimes he goes down to her office. I think they miss each other and then go back to work. It's kind of cute. Look at them." Rachel pointed at the topics of the conversation. "She barely sat on her own chair. I wondered why Lisa even bothered to put one next to him. She knew Ally would likely be sitting on his lap the entire time anyway." Wilson nodded. "Come on. I think it's time to go home."
The quartet left the benefit and left the hospital in the limo. They dropped off Wilson and Rachel first as House asked Harry to circle around the neighborhood for a little limo sex with Cameron. When they got back to the condo, they stripped their clothing and collapsed on their bed, hugging each other close. Somehow during the night, they inched closer to one another if that was even possible.
"My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind
[Chorus:]
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, ohoh"
(John Legend – All of Me)
Another two weeks passed for the doctors, as House and Cameron found themselves separated for twenty four hours because he needed to go to New York for a conference. They ended up calling and texting one another but found it was just not the same. For House, it gave him a chance to hang out with his cousin and for Cameron it allowed her to spend more time with her siblings. She had gone to dinner at Cuddy-Douglas' house with Rachel and Wilson, but as she went back to the condo, she found the place a mess. She grabbed Mozie and stepped outside to call the police. They investigated and found that the intruder might be someone they knew. They asked her to check to see if anything might be missing but she was not sure. All her clothes were slashed and House's were ripped and tossed aside. Their bedroom was a mess. She called House who immediately went back home. His cousin went with him. Lucky for them, Wilson's ex-wife did manage to find a house that the couple liked. After two weeks of searching with the couple, she found them a four bedroom brick house that had a three car garage and a study. The house was a little too large but large enough for them and the future kids they might have. It was three thousand and five hundred forty three square feet. The house had a modernized kitchen that was very roomy and large. The third floor had nice French doors that sealed the deal for Cameron. The best part was that it had a white back fence that held a Jacuzzi and pool. House did not even blink an eye on how much as he simply wrote the check. Cameron looked at him and he merely winked. Due to the recent events, their move date advanced from next week to tomorrow. He had them install a top of the line alarm system that had a touch screen LCD screen. When he heard about the intruder, he had been having professional movers move their things from the condo to the house but unfortunately most of their stuff was trashed because of it.
Cameron walked into the guest bedroom and got ready for bed. She would be staying with her sister and Wilson for the night until she moved into the new house tomorrow. She stripped off her clothing, leaving only her red lacy g-string on and slipping on one of House's dress shirts that had managed to survive the wreckage. She walked over to the bed and pulled the comforter back and laid on the bed. She drew the blanket back until it met her waist and positioned herself as she normally would when House would sleep by her side. She lay on her side but angled herself on his side as she had her right leg raised. The shirt rose up, revealing her underwear underneath. She moved closer despite the lack of warmth she normally would receive and tried to sleep peacefully. Unfortunately for her, it would not be the case.
Cameron found herself in her office working as she normally would. She looked up to find her uncle walk up to her and yank her out of the chair. Before she knew it, he ripped her clothes off of her and raped her right there.
"No. No. Please, Hal. No more."
"You deserved this you little slut. The way you dress is like a street walker."
"No. Please stop." She tried to break free as she cried harder. She screamed and screamed but no one came. She screamed for House but he did not come. "GREG!"
"He is not coming. This is your fault. This is what you deserved." She cried harder and screamed.
House came through the door of Wilson's house as they heard Cameron scream. He walked past them to where the screaming continued. They stayed behind as Jen walked through the door as well. She, like Wilson and Rachel, looked worried as the three of them looked on as House walked to the bedroom and locked the door.
Cameron thrashed about screaming. She was screaming as her nightmare continued on.
"GREG! Make him stop. Greg! Where are you? I need you. I'm scared. Make Hal stop, please."
House walked up to the bed and lied next to her. He drew her to him.
"Shh, Ally. I'm here. He's not here anymore. Shh! He can't hurt you. I won't let him. Shh! Wake up, Baby. Come on. Wake up, Baby! Please. You're scaring me." He tried to wake her up. He kissed her gently on her lips as she slowly opened her eyes.
"Greg?" She whispered as she slowly opened her eyes.
"Shh. I'm here." She clung to him as she gripped his jacket to her and cried. "I'm here. Shh. I'm here. I won't leave you." She cried harder.
"He was there and he raped me. No one came and I felt trapped."
"Oh, Baby. It's okay. It's just a dream. He's not here see," as he made her look around the room, "It's just you and me in here." She remained in his arms and she clung more to him. "All this stress is not good for you. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you. I promised I would be but I wasn't."
"You didn't know. The condo. I ran with Mozie when I saw what was done. I couldn't go in there. It scared me."
"I know it scared you. Jen and I rushed here as soon as we could."
"Thank you. What did you tell them? I thought you were going to be in a conference until tomorrow night."
"I told them the truth and they were actually nice about it. Besides, you mean more to me than some damn medical conference."
"You didn't have to come home so early. I am okay."
"You are clearly not okay and I missed you just as much." He gave her a kiss on the head. "I would rather be here anyway." She nodded.
"I know. I missed you too. I don't like being apart." She snuggled closer.
"People like us are never happy when we are apart from one another. So next time, I'll take you with me. Okay?" She nodded. He pulled up a little to get up but she pulled him closer. "Easy, Baby. I'm just getting ready for bed okay? I'm not going anywhere." He gave her a quick kiss as she slowly let go. She watched him strip until all he had was his boxer-briefs and climbed back on. He sat against the headboard as he placed her on his lap. He brushed the hair out of her face. "I love you so much, Baby. You know that right? I won't ever leave you. You know that right?" She nodded.
"I know but sometimes I wonder."
"I get what you mean. I'm the same way. The past affected us but it doesn't mean it should define us. Mhmm? You and I love each other. It is all that matters." She nodded. "Don't be afraid. I'll be here to catch your fall."
"I know you will. I always knew you would. I always felt safe with you."
"And I you. My heart always felt it but my mind tried to fight it. I'm sorry I allowed it to go on for so long, but now I won't let you go. EVER! You're stuck with me as long as you want me."
"Forever or as long as our lives allow it? I'll follow you even in death." He agreed to what she said. She drew closer to him and they began to kiss passionately. She grinded her body to his until she felt him grew stiff.
"Is this my shirt, Baby?" She nodded. "I like it on you. It looks hot, but I think I'd rather have it off you. What do you have under here? Can I look?" She nodded as her eyes grew wonton for him. He slowly unbuttoned his shirt and pulled it off of her. He dropped the shirt on the floor next to his other clothes as he saw her little underwear. He touched her sex as she arched her back in response. "I see you're ready for me."
"I'm always ready for you."
"Yes, I know." He kissed her and she used her hand to push his underwear off as he kicked it off of him. She felt him pull hers off and she moved long enough for him to pull it off her legs. He placed her back on top, guiding her on top until he was all the way in her. They began to move slowly, finding that it is what they needed. They needed to take their time with one another. They wanted to reconnect. "You know I love it when you and I move like this. I mean, I love the fucking just as much but the lovemaking… I love it too. I can feel the emotions we both make. It just feels better." She nodded.
"I feel it too. When we are joined like this, it's where I belong. It's like my soul is connected with yours. It's why I like it when you and I finish. I don't like it when you pull away. I pull you closer to keep that contact. It is like the soul cries when it is separated with its other half."
"I feel it too." They continued to move; the feeling of love permeating through them as they were joined. Two souls moved together, connecting like no other. Soon after, their breathing slowed as they reached their orgasm. He helped them slide down the bed. He moved with her to pull the blanket around her middle as she moved closer to him. She pulled her leg around his hip and placed her head around his heart.
"Welcome, Baby. I'm so glad you're home." He nodded and kissed her head as they slept, dreaming of each other.
It was the morning as House and Cameron found themselves waking up to get ready for the trip ahead. They decided that they would take a trip to New York City for the weekend to get away from the insanity. They intended on moving to the new house that day, but with the stress, they thought it was better to get away for a bit. House was waiting for Cameron in the living room with Wilson, Rachel, and Jen. Jen would be staying with Wilson and Rachel for two weeks. They were talking about what transpired the night before and had agreed that Cameron needed time to get away from the stress.
Cameron had just finished her shower and began putting on a dark blue Italian lace bra with a matching g-string. She then proceeded to put on a sleeveless, short, light blue dress with a white, navy, and blue belt. She added a brown and gold bangle on her right hand. This added to the jewelry that House gave her. Those were the ones she never took out and kept with her as a reminder of how much he loved her. She matched her outfit with brown sandals. She was glad that she left these clothes months ago with Rachel because all her clothes were indeed lost. For her makeup, she added blue eye shadow, some light rouge, mascara, and some red lipstick. She knew House preferred her makeup to be limited and so did she. She picked up her brown hobo bag as she left the guest room. As Cameron walked to the living room, she heard House talk to Mozie while they sat on the couch.
"Now Moz, you be good to your Aunt and Uncle while your mommy and I are gone. Okay? I promise to come home with a present for you. Okay? Do you promise to behave?" The dog yipped in agreement as if understanding what his owner was trying to convey to him. "Mhm…good boy. Mommy needs time away. You know all this stress is not good for her. Whoever this wacko is will be in trouble with Daddy. Right, my boy?" The dog laid his head on House's leg as House scratched the dog behind his ears. Mozie perked up as he heard Cameron enter and jumped off the couch that he was on to run over to his female owner.
"Hey, Mozie. You going to miss Mommy? I'm going to miss you. What were you and Daddy talking about while you were waiting?" As she walked towards the couch. House pulled her on his lap as she got near him. The dog followed suit and came back on the couch.
"I was just telling him to be a good boy, Baby." She leaned into him as the dog wagged his tail. Cameron nodded her head as she sat quietly, relishing the moment.
"Really, House. How hard is it to take care of Mozie? He's half Ally. He'll be fine. It's you we should be worried about." Replied Rachel
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"Let's face it, you are all sorts of trouble." Cameron smirked to his chest as she listened to her sister pick on her boyfriend. Rachel commented before going back to the kitchen to finish cooking breakfast with Jen.
"Do you agree with her, Baby?"
"Greg, you know you are, but that just makes you who you are. It just adds more character." She grinned to him innocently. He nodded to her as she pecked him on the lips. "Baby, what time are we leaving?"
"Well, we are just waiting for Jimmy. He is borrowing a car for us." His car was unreliable and her car was still not available for use. They agreed that the motorcycle would not suit because they would be returning with purchases from their excursion.
"I still don't get why we can't go to 'Short Hill' Mall instead. There's no tax here and it is a good shopping place."
"Well, I might have gotten you a surprise…or two."
"What?"
"Well, the first one is this." He got up and walked to where his overnight bag was and picked up a jewelry box. He gave her the box and she opened it to reveal an anklet. It was similar to her necklace. There was a large diamond heart next to a smaller heart that was encrusted with more diamonds in the middle. It was held together by white gold and diamonds. He took the anklet and grabbed her left leg. He clasped it to her leg and gave her ankle a kiss followed by her leg then her lips.
"I bought it in New York yesterday during lunch for our one month anniversary." She beamed at him as she gazed down at her ankle then back to him.
"I didn't know we were celebrating one month anniversaries…"
"Not really but I just wanted to have a reason to get you something." She nodded
"And my other surprise?"
"Well, I was thinking we might do some shopping, watch an opera, and I saw that there was this open-field concert on the way back near Princeton."
"Really?"
"Yes. Do you like it?" She nodded as she got up to kiss him.
"I swear every time I come back to the room you two are up to something. Right, Jen?"
"Don't get me started. I am not used to this sappy-love thing with him. I don't even know where to start with his crazy-ass."
"I love you too, Cuz." He joked with his favorite cousin who grinned back.
"That reminds me, Mom and Aunt Blythe wanted to know if you'd be open to her coming to visit for the holidays?"
"Sure. That okay with you, Baby?"
"Absolutely. Mozie would love to meet his grandma, wouldn't you?" Cameron cooed at her puppy.
"I swear you two treat him like he is your kid or something." Replied Jen.
"They do. Jimmy and I got stuck babysitting Mozie. They gave us rules on what he can do or not do. The dog is spoiled."
"Don't listen to them, Moz. They are just jealous." House was also cooing at Mozie. Before Rachel and Jen could reply back to House, Wilson came through the door. He tossed the keys to House before walking to Rachel to give her a kiss. The group then proceeded to eat their breakfast. Jen and Rachel had cut up fresh fruit and placed them in a large bowl and made pancakes and turkey bacon cooked with honey.
When they were finished, House and Cameron said goodbye and drove to New York. They arrived there and checked into the Hotel Giraffe. The check in was fairly easy as they did not have any luggage with them. They walked into the balcony suite and looked around the room. It was a large room complete with a large bed, a separate living room area, and of course, a balcony. The part that House liked was the bar and the forty-inch television set. They left soon after to have lunch at a nearby restaurant and proceeded to shop. They picked out clothing for each of them to replace the ones that were destroyed as well as new shoes. The new attire included a formal wear they needed to see 'La Nozze Figaro' or 'The Marriage of Figaro' and the dinner they would go to later. They passed by a furniture store and picked out a few items that might look nice in their new house: a new mattress, a new canopy bed frame, and matching bedroom sets. They also bought furniture for their living room as well.
Soon, they were headed to a lingerie boutique. They entered the establishment and started to pick out matching sets. These included bra sets, babydolls, chemise, and teddies. She went to try them out in a large fitting room. The last she tried on was a see-through white, floral chemise that was cut out on the sides. It had a matching g-string that came with it. She liked it a lot and as she twirled around she got an idea.
"Greg?"
"Yea, Baby. Everything okay?" He went near the door to be yanked inside by Cameron. She attacked him with her lips before letting him go. She stepped back to allow him to look as she slowly turned around for him to see the chemise. "I like that a lot. We are definitely getting that but first…" He went up to her and kissed her and then proceeded to spin her around to face the wall. She heard him open his jean zipper before slipping her panty down her legs. He entered her hard from the back. "Shh, Baby. We have to be quiet." He whispered. She moaned as they moved together. He pulled her closer to him, then reached under the chemise to fondle her breasts. She leaned back against him as he fucked her from behind. Just as they climaxed together, they heard a voice.
"Everything okay in there?" a sales woman asked.
"I'm okay but I'll be getting everything in here. Can you please pick out different colors too?
"Of course." She left to pick out what Cameron asked of her as House pulled out of her. He got redressed as Cameron removed the chemise.
"I love that one. We're getting that one." She nodded as he kissed her. She changed back into her own clothes while House sat and waited for her. They exited together and walked together to the register. He took out his credit card and signed it without blinking at the amount. "Oh Baby. I forgot." He gave her another card with the same account and her name on it. "Just take it. I trust you with it." She was apprehensive but nodded. "What's mine is yours…" She looked down unsure what to say. He tipped her head up. "Don't overthink it, Baby. When we get married we'll share assets anyway so I'm just moving the times up with the assets part. Okay? Don't be scared." She nodded before putting it in her purse. He took the bags and they walked back to the car. They then proceeded to go into buy a black Samsonite luggage set to place all their purchases in. Some were going to be mailed as some were out of stock and some were too large to travel in the car with. They were to arrive sometime next week. They bought presents for Rachel, Jen, and Wilson as well as for Mozie. He got a new toy, a new bed, and new treats. He really was a spoiled dog. They arrived back at the hotel to change for dinner. She changed into a light pink and black plunge push up bra with a matching g-string as she donned a red silk and lace dress. It had a boat neck and it was three-fourth sleeves. She matched it with nude stilettos and added light make up. She wore only the jewelry House gave her as she walked by the vanity table to pick up her nude clutch on the way out of the bedroom. He wore a navy blue suit with a white shirt and black tie. His shoes matched his tie as he waited in the living room for Cameron. He stood up as he saw her exit the room.
"You look beautiful as always, Baby. You ready?" She nodded as she allowed him to lead her out of the room. They walked to the car and drove to Il Buco which was an Italian restaurant. When they got there, House pulled Cameron as he told the Maitre'd that the reservation was under 'House'. They were seated in a secluded table not soon after as they ordered some wine. The restaurant had a wine cellar on the back of the dining room. It seemed like an old school feel but the room still had a comfortable feel as they easily conversed.
"Baby, how many kids do you want? You want kids right?"
"As long as you're the mother I don't care how many we have."
"Me too. As long as you're the father. I don't care. I want them to have your eyes and your intelligence." He smiled at her.
"I want a little girl that looks like you, Baby." He took her hand and kissed it.
As they ordered their meal and waited for it to arrive, they continued to talk about what lay next.
"I can't wait until we're married, Baby. I mean it feels like we are but the moment we say I do, it will thrill me to know you're mine."
"I'm already yours but I get it."
"We're not ready for marriage yet but I promise when I do ask, we'll get married. Do you want a short or long engagement?"
"Short. Definitely short. The longest will be a year just in case we can't find a place but I was thinking we could get married outside in a villa somewhere and then have an outside reception with a tent."
"I like that idea, Baby. Soon. Don't worry. When we're ready." She smiled at him as their food arrived. She fed him some of her food as she ate the ones he fed her. She took off her shoe and grazed his leg innocently. "Baby, what are you doing?" She did not look up as she ate her food. She got up quietly and gave him a kiss before telling him she would be right back. She went to the bathroom and walked into the handicap one and waited. A few minutes later, she heard a door lock in the main bathroom and he entered the one she was in. "What were you doing, Baby?" She didn't speak but instead stripped and hung her clothes against the door before walking to him. She stripped him and did the same.
"Shut up, Baby." She kissed him and he backed her against the wall before entering her.
"Is this what you wanted, Baby?" She nodded. He lifted her as she wrapped her legs around him as he pounded into her hard. "Come on, Baby. That's it."
"Greg, Harder. More! God, More!"
They kept at it until they climaxed after a few more thrusts. They dressed quickly and washed their hands. They snuck out of the bathroom and sat back to eat their meal.
"Hm. I am liking this mini-vacation, Baby. I'm not done with you yet."
"I look forward to it." She grinned seductively at him before finishing her meal. When they finished, they drove back to the hotel. He ordered champagne and strawberries as she changed into a black lacy see-through babydoll that came with a matching robe and g-string. She walked out and took the champagne from him as she saw him strip down to his boxer-briefs. He walked behind her and stripped her out of her robe. He began kissing her neck as she responded by angling her neck. She moaned when he bit her neck. He sucked and proceeded to repeat in several spots on her neck.
House was growing stiffer as he stood up and had her move in front of the balcony. He told her to put her hands in front as she felt him graze her backside with his hands. She turned around to see him remove his underwear as she turned back to face the balcony. He pulled her top and underwear off so fast she did not notice when he entered her from behind. She leaned back to follow his thrust as they moved quickly and fast. She never felt so aroused as they moved in front of the New York lights. She did not know who was watching and did not care. In fact, it somehow turned her on. She turned her face to kiss him as they moved harder and faster. She screamed his name as she climaxed and within seconds her name followed suit. He backed up from the balcony, taking her with him as they fell back to the bed. He had knelt in front of her on the bed and soon round two, three, and four came before they collapsed in the early hours of the morning. They would not rise until the mid morning.
Wilson was filing his paperwork as Lucas Douglas came in his office.
"We have a problem."
"What is it?"
"Stacy is in cahoots with Tyler Cummings."
"Who?"
"Hal's son. The one who tried to hurt Ally months ago? He's been in trouble with the cops and apparently looking for trouble. I had my cop friends do some looking and I also asked around. I found that there were other fluids in Greg and Ally's bed that were not their's."
"You mean to tell me…"
"Yep. I know it is disgusting but they had sex in their bed before causing trouble. Apparently, Tyler is angry because of what he thinks Ally did and is looking for revenge. He found out about Stacy and has been manipulating her."
"Shit. We have trouble. I also have news. I called Mark and apparently a few months ago, like around the same time Greg went to the facility, Stacy went missing as he tried to take her to get cleaned up. He has been looking for her ever since and been worried sick. He said he met Tyler through a work function as he was one of the mail clerks in her firm. I don't know how long after but somehow they became involved and she began taking cocaine. He's apparently a dealer and probably did not want anyone to find out is my guess. But now, because of her addiction she has become impulsive and erratic as she has hallucinations and delusions. Apparently, right before she left she rambled on about how Greg is the one that got away."
"What do we do? Greg is going to flip."
"I know…who wants to tell him?"
A/N: How did I do? Stacy is a hot mess isn't she? We'll find more about her the next chapter. Everyone enjoying their vacation so far? Who is curious to find out what Stacy is up to and what our favorite couple's reaction would be?
