Chapter 4 - Next morning -
House got up earlier that he was used to. Cuddy was picking him up, so he had to be ready by the time that she got there.
It was almost 8.30am and he was ready. For the first time since he started working at PPTH House was going to be there on time. He saw the car arriving, but he didn’t move; he wanted to see Cuddy come up to his door.
The doorbell rang, and after a few seconds House got up and opened the door.
“Good morning. Are you ready?” Cuddy said smiling.
‘God she’s beautiful’ House thought. “Yup. Let’s go.”
“So what do we have today? You didn’t bring Damien Rice…” House said, searching for the CD.
“Nope, today it’s The Corrs.” Cuddy answered while starting the car.
“Nice. Let’s see what these cute sisters and that other one are going to say to us this morning.” House said looking at the sky through his window.
“I’ll give you the liberty to change the tracks whenever you want. But just today!” Cuddy said giving a little laugh.
House smiled, ‘Yeah, like last night’ he thought sarcastically, and changed the track. Only when I sleep, was the winning song.
“Uuuu, deep one. I like it.” House winked
But it’s only when I sleep
See you in my dreams
Got me spinning round and round
Cuddy smiled but kept her beautiful eyes on the road. House new that this morning was different, she was smelling wonderfully and her eyes were shining like in no other day; today was the day, the day that both of them were remembering what happened in the past, the good things that happened in the past.
Go on go on leave me breathless
House smiled and looked at Cuddy.
The daylights fade and slowly
The time with you it’s standing still
I’m waiting for you only
The sliest touch and I feel wick
I cannot lie
From you I cannot hide
She kept her eyes focused on the road, but what she wanted was to stop the car and do something different. When she just smiled, she smiled just for him.
So go on go on
Come on leave me breathless
Tempt me tease me
Until I can’t denied this love and feeling
Make me long for your kiss
Go on go on
They arrived at PPTH and went into the lobby. Wilson was already there and took a good look at the two of them coming in together.
“Dr. Wilson.” Cuddy greeted him and headed to her office.
Wilson gave her a smile and looked quickly at House.
“So first of all, you’re here on time; second, you came with Cuddy; and thirdly, you two were not fighting. Ok, it’s a new day and all that, but well… what’s happening?” Wilson questioned confused.
“I have nothing to declare. We’re still having dinner tonight right? Or are you too busy with your dying patients that you don’t have time for those who are still healthy?” House asked sarcastically.
He got out of the elevator and saw his ducklings bored in the office. Cameron was reading a large textbook while Chase and Foreman were playing cards, and by the looks of it, the cards were beating both of them.
“From the look of you three I can guess that we don’t have a case. So does anyone know what the latest CD of The Corrs is?” House asked looking at the team.
“What? The Corrs? I have no idea, I have just heard one of their songs.” Foreman replied.
“Dreams – The Ultimate Corrs Collection.” Chase replied giving a you-should-have-known-that look to Foreman. “Why do you want to know?”
“Obviously, I want to buy the CD. One of you look for it on iTunes. I want to put that in my iPod by the time I return. Use my credit-card to pay for it, Cameron knows where it is.” House demanded.
Chase was on House’s computer when Foreman joined him to take a look. House went to the cafeteria to eat something, he hadn’t had time to eat at home because he didn’t want to Cuddy think about he could be ready on time.
A nice hot cup of coffee and a sandwich was what House was eating when Wilson joined him.
“You didn’t have time to eat at home? This is getting interesting. First you come in with Cuddy and now you’re having your breakfast here… hmm let me think about what this is looking like.” Wilson said sitting in the chair in front f House.
“Nothing happened. I grabbed a ride with her because by motorbike is in the shop for repairs. You would know this if you asked. I already told about the accident. But, well I’m ok as I said before, if that matter’s to you though. Oh no sorry! You’re more interested in what is happening between Cuddy and me.”
“Dr House. Dr Wilson. Can I join you?” Cuddy asked looking at House and Wilson with a hot coffee in her hands. House knew that she had heard the conversation, at least the last part.
“Sure. We were just talking about…” Wilson started.
“Music! I was saying to Dr Wilson that you have a nice collection of CDs.” House interrupted.
“Thank you, House. If you want I can lend you a few.” Cuddy said with a challenging look at House.
“I would be very happy if you did that.” House replied.
“Well, I’m… going. I have patients to see.” Wilson quickly replied watching the tension between House and Cuddy. Of course lied about the patients, he thought about ordering the drinks for this dinner with House, and sending them to his place.
Even after Wilson had left House and Cuddy didn’t break eye contact. Finally, House broke the silence and said to her. “I have an invitation for you. But I’m only going to say it, if you answer me this.”
“Okay. What do you want to ask?” Cuddy said starting to get a little suspicious. ‘House has an invitation. For me?’
“Do you have any friends here? I mean women. Women friends?” House asked.
“Yes, I do. Why are you asking?” Cuddy answered now confused.
“Good. Now I can make the invitation. So aa… do you want to have dinner with me and Wilson? Bring a friend, that friend that I just asked you about.” House asked her, now a little nervous. He wanted her to come, he wanted to be with her. ‘She’s going to say no, of course, what were you thinking? She’s looking at me…’
“Ok. I’m going to ask Erin if she can come. Is it at your place or at Wilson’s?”
‘Oh my God! She accepted. Stop being silly and act normal.’
“It’s at my place. 8pm. Don’t be late, we usually eat quickly, so the food may disappear in a matter of seconds.” House joked.
“I won’t. I mean we won’t. I’ll pass at your office to tell you if Erin is coming or not.”
House nodded and got up. He still had work to do though, clinic was waiting for him. Cuddy continued drinking her coffee and watched House leaving. ‘My my… the man is sexy. Oh just stop thinking about that. Where are your brains?’Cuddy thought before shaking her head to keep away those thoughts.
