Cuddy discusses with her assistant when her pager bleeps. It's Wilson, he asks her to come in his office. I'm sorry, I have to go, do what I told you, she says to her assistant and goes.
-Is there a problem, she asks and closes the door.
-Yes, no, I don't know, Wilson replies and locks the door.
-Why do you lock the door?
-Simple precaution. He looks at her, holds her in his arms and kisses her. At first, Cuddy tries to resist and to push him away, but he tightens his hug, and she finally gives any kind of resistance up and enjoys the kiss.
-Wilson, she says trying to catch her breath back, that's completely insane! If someone comes and catches us I can imagine what the people are gonna say, we mustn't…
-The door is locked, don't worry about it. Just try not to be too loud. And he kisses her again, his hands go up and down her back under her shirt, he wants to feel her body react to his caress, and indeed her body reacts. She shivers; her hands go in Wilson's hair and on his neck. Suddenly he knocks her down on the sofa. He caresses her breasts, and then his hand goes down slowly to her core what makes her moan. Wilson's body is on fire and Cuddy works on it with tenderness and dexterity, her hands are so sweet, they delight his male senses, Cuddy's scent drives him crazy. This woman really knows how to move around a male body. He goes and comes in her, they move together up and down, their bodies are intertwined and dance together on the rhythm of love.
They are still on the sofa, they're getting their breath and their sense back when someone knocks at the door.
-Doctor Wilson, I'm Mister Brand, we have an appointment. Are you here?
-Yeah, one minute please, I end a meeting and I see you, replies Wilson and tries to catch his clothes to dress up. Then he looks at Cuddy who's dressing up and smiles to her, she's beaming.
-Wilson, I've told you I didn't want to have sex at the hospital, she says in a low voice, pretending to be angry at him, but the light in her eyes just say the contrary.
-I'm sorry I won't do it again, he replies and kisses her softly before he goes to open the door to his patient. So I think we've taken the right decision about this insurance problem, he says to Cuddy who goes out of his office.
-Yeah, I agree with you, and she goes away with a beaming face.
The patient looks at her, surprised, and enters Wilson's office.
-Hi, Mr. Brand, how are you doing today?
-Quite good. Hm, …. Doctor Wilson?
-Yes? Is there a problem?
-You have some lipstick in the corner of the mouth and in the neck, he says uncomfortable.
-Oh, hm, thank you, Wilson says and blushes.
But someone else saw Cuddy going out Wilson's office. Foreman noticed Cuddy's face too and a bad feeling comes over him. I'm not sure that I'll report that to House.
-Did you see what I saw? Chase asks him. He's standing next to him.
-Sorry, what did you say?
-Foreman, I know that you saw a beaming Cuddy with ruffled hair going out Wilson's office. I think that's the proof House needed, don't you think?
-Chase, I'm not sure it's a good idea to report him that. We may have imagined that.
-Foreman, you're kidding! Didn't you see her? In front of the annoyed face of Foreman, Chase adds: Well, I propose that we go to Cuddy right now to see how she is and to talk to her about what we saw.
-Ok, let's do that.
-Come in, Cuddy says. That's Foreman and Chase. What do they want this time, she thinks a little irritated. Doctor Chase, I didn't change my mind, she says with a smile.
-Oh, too bad, maybe another time, he answers with a strange glance.
-Why are you looking at me like this? she asks.
-Doctor Cuddy, Foreman begins.
-Yeah… what's the problem, Foreman? What bothers you?
-Hm, it's difficult to say, it concerns you …. and ….
Cuddy feels her heart beating faster, a feeling of fear comes over her. Would it be possible that they know something about her and Wilson? She finally manages to say:
-Something that concerns me and …?
-And… Doctor Wilson, Chase finally says.
Cuddy feels dizzy, breathes hard and turns pale.
-Doctor Cuddy, are you ok? Foreman asks.
-Yeah, I'm fine; I'm just very tired, emotionally and physically.
After a while, she feels a little better and asks:
-What do you mean?
-Are you in a relation with Doctor Wilson? Foreman asks and feels sorry for her, she looks very bad.
-Get out of here!
-Dr Cuddy
-It's none of your business! Get out of here! She repeats angry.
-Please
-Why do you want to know that? In what does my private life concern you?
-I know House hurt you deeply with this wedding, but I also know that he still loves you. He asked us to find proof of your relation with Wilson.
Cuddy doesn't say anything, she simply can't believe what Foreman just said! So Foreman keeps on talking.
-And we saw you going out Wilson's office. We didn't want any explanation, as you said your private life doesn't concern us so far as it remains private and doesn't influence your work or House's work.
-And we're afraid of House's reaction if he knows about you and Doctor Wilson, Chase adds.
Cuddy shakes her head and murmurs in herself « I knew it was a mistake, a stupid behavior, but... »
-So, what are you going to do now? Report all this to House?
-Well, we wanted to talk to you first. Maybe if you and Doctor Wilson are more careful, he won't be able to catch you, Foreman answers.
-Do you think you'll be able to keep all this secret? Do you really think that House will suspect nothing by seeing you that he will not succeed in establishing the truth?
-We can try and lie if necessary, Chase says.
-And what do you want in return? Foreman and Chase exchange a quick look and Foreman answers:
-We'll let you know later.
Cuddy looks at them and says: Ok, let's try. …. Thank you. … I'll tell him when I'll be ready.
Chase and Foreman leave her. She calls Wilson to explain him what just happened and that she's gonna go home now.
Wilson knocks at Cuddy's door. She opens, he comes in. Once in the living-room, he nears her and takes her in his arms. She seems exhausted.
-That's just what I need, a tender hug from you, she says and smiles.
-I'm here, sweetheart. Don't worry about House, I know him, he will tease us, try to hurt you again, try to hurt me, he'll be impossible and annoying, angry and cruel, but he knows that he behaved like a moron. We have some hard times ahead of us, but with time we'll all go through this. Have faith in us.
This night, Cuddy is happy not to be alone, she's happy to be with Wilson, he knows how to make her feel better.
Wilson thought a lot this night. Cuddy was lying against him. He gave her a sleep pill a few hours earlier. She's so beautiful and touching! She took his heart, he can't live without her now. He needs her, he needs to see her face, he needs to feel her hands on him, he needs her kiss, her scent. He can't give up on her, even for House, it's too late. This time his friend really screwed up his life, his possibility of happiness. But this time, Wilson won't help him to get back the object of his desire. Because this time, Wilson decided to live his own life, to be happy himself. And House's object of desire is the same as Wilson's. Wilson won't give up on Cuddy just to save House from the destruction. He loves Cuddy and he wants to spend the rest of his life with her. Yeah, the rest of his life with her! And this night, Wilson decides to ask Cuddy to marry him. He'll invite her to a restaurant on Saturday night and ask her. After this decision, he falls asleep.
It's Friday, the week is soon over and no other incidents occurred. Cuddy begins to relax a little. She has to talk with Wilson about their relation. She thinks it would be better to make it public so they wouldn't have to hide anymore, they wouldn't have to be anymore afraid of being caught, nor a violent reaction of House. And they can live more serenely.
Regrettably for her the fate had decided on it otherwise and this day was going to turn in a nightmare.
House is in his office, he's thinking. The case of the week has been solved, he's still married, Domenica is kind and keeps his apartment clean. Everything should be great, but it's not the case. He's still in love with Cuddy. She seems to be fine these last days, and he barely saw Wilson this week. It looks like Wilson tries to avoid him, but why? And this question obsesses him. And another thing is weird: Chase and Foreman hide him something, that's obvious but he didn't manage to know what. He has to find it out and will pressure them to obtain an answer. He stands up and goes to the differential room where they're sitting and look at some files.
-Chase, I know you're hiding me something, House says and points his cane at Chase.
-What? No, no, I don't hide you anything, replies Chase surprised. House gives him a piercing look and Chase feels very uneasy. He tries to bluff but he's not very convincing.
-Don't lie to me, shouts House and hits the table with his cane. You know something about what Cuddy and Wilson plot, I'm sure!
Chase doesn't know what to say. He looks desperately at Foreman. House catches his look and turns to Foreman.
-You too, Foreman! Tell me what you learned if you want to keep your job, House says about a threatening tone leaving no doubt he would carry out his threat.
Foreman looks at Chase and this one agrees slowly. House looks at them and waits, he knows they give up.
-Well, we saw Cuddy going out Wilson's office, Foreman says.
-And that's all? House replies with anger in the eyes. He looks at Foreman, then at Chase. He knows that there's something more. Is that all? he repeats.
Chase gives Foreman a quick look and adds:
-No. Cuddy was ….
-Cuddy was what, asks House irritated.
-Cuddy was …. she was beaming and her hair was ruffled, says Chase in a breath. He doesn't dare to look at House.
-And Wilson bought a ring, Taub adds in a soft voice. House stares at him, stunned. Chase and Foreman look at him surprised. Taub smirks.
Then House recovers and says:
-I see. I have to confront Wilson! And he leaves the room.
