"I think she's in love with you." Chase said in a slurred tone as he downed his tequila shot.
"You're very drunk...why should I listen to you?" House asked with a smirk.
"Who better would know but me? I can tell these things...you love her too...I love Ally." He said with a laugh.
"Good for you." House said as he stood up to walk to the men's room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You guys! How much lingerie did you get me?" Cameron asked with a chuckle as she held up a violet colored teddy.
"You can never have enough." Cuddy said as she refilled Cameron's margarita.
"Cuddy! I've already had too much."
"Again you can never have enough." Cuddy said as she clinked her own glass against Cameron's.
The other women in the party broke out into laughter.
"Who is ready for a night on the town?!" Cuddy announced.
"We are!!!" All the women yelled in response.
"Let's go then! The limo is outside."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
House laughed at the sight of Wilson trying to find his pants.
"That stripper, Charity, where did she put my plants?"
"Your plants? Do you mean your pants?" House asked with an arch of his brow.
"You never can trust a woman with glitter eye shadow...We just made out and somehow she got me..."
Wilson fell down on House's floor before finishing his sentence. House walked over to find his best friend passed out.
"Jim, you can never hold your liquor."
House threw a blanket over his friend and limped out of the apartment to take a walk. He wasn't tired or drunk from the party.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Here drink this." Cuddy said as she handed Cameron a shot of vodka.
Cameron swallowed it down with a grimace.
"Here this too." Cuddy said handing her a brown liquor.
Cameron gulped it down too.
"Uggh. Why am I drinking these things? Cuddy you know you have drank just as much...I want to be as together as you...No. I want to see Chase see if he's up for some fun..." Cameron fell off her stool laughing. Cuddy broke out into laughter at the sight. She helped Cameron back up.
Cameron threw an arm over Cuddy's shoulder.
"You're like the big sister I never had...And as your sister I will give you some advice..."
"Cameron, you're wasted..."
"Tell him you love him...it's scary as hell...I was scared to tell Rob...but the sex and the love and the sex!!!!!!" Cameron said laughing.
"Cameron, what are you saying?"
"House...tell him...he feels the same." Cameron said before running off to join her friends on the dance floor.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Bye!" Cuddy yelled to the bachelorette party as they drove off from her home. Cuddy stood on her front porch and watched the limo turn the corner. She noticed House limping up the sidewalk at the same moment.
"What are you doing here? I thought you'd be passed out in a stripper's cleavage." She said with a smug grin.
"I can hold my liquor...Chase on the other hand." House said with a chuckle as he stepped up on her porch.
"Cameron's a lightweight too." She said as she turned to unlock her front door. He stood watching her.
"You coming in?"
"I could use some coffee."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cuddy handed him the fresh up of coffee and sat down next to him at the table.
"What's with the Hugh Hefner robe?"
"I am the ultimate Playboy, Cuddy."
She shook her head in amusement.
"So, you walked all the way here? That's almost a mile."
"I needed a breather and Wilson snores like a bear..." He said as he finished off his drink and then down two vicodin.
Cuddy ran a hand through her hair.
"I take it he doesn't hold his liquor very well either."
"Wilson lost his pants to a stripper. So, yeah he doesn't hold his booze."
Cuddy chuckled and stood up.
"I do have to say, Dr. Cuddy, I'm surprised PartyPants didn't make an appearance tonight." House said with a grin as he too stood up. Cuddy couldn't help but to blush at the old nickname.
"I am better now with tequila shots than I once was, Dr. House."
He smiled devilishly.
"Good. I thought we could share a nightcap." He said as he pulled a bottle of bourbon from his napsack.
"I'll get the glasses." She said with another blush.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Chase thinks you're in love with me." He said as he snaked an arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him.
She shifted her arms around his neck and laid a gentle kiss on his nose.
"Cameron thinks you're in love with me." She said as she traced a hand over his lower back.
House sighed at the sensation.
"Do you agree?" She asked as she laid her head against his shoulder. He pulled the blanket closer up around them.
"Do you want me to agree?" He said as he turned her head so that he could catch her gaze.
Cuddy rolled her eyes and mussed his hair with her hand.
"Greg...do you more than just like me?"
House smiled fondly at her.
"Yes. I more than just like you." He replied as he pulled her naked form closer to his chest.
"Then I love you too." She said softly against his chest before kissing it gently. He smiled happily at the confession and stroked her back until they both fell asleep.
