It turns out the premiere is in October (I only like write fanfiction during hiatus), so I won’t update as fast, lets take our time.

Cuddy likes the thrusting, the heat, and the sweat. She lets go everything and enjoys sex.
She finally moans, louder then normal, and collapses on the mattress.
- Happy birthday – Cuddy says with a big smile
Lucas tries to catch his breath – Best birthday present ever! –
It’s a lovely Saturday morning in September, and today is Lucas’ birthday.
- Does that mean that I don’t have to go to your party? – Lucas’ friend, Zach is throwing a birthday party that night.
- C’mon – Lucas says – You’ll have fun tonight. Besides it’s not really a party, is more like a small reunion –
- A reunion with your friends who probably hate me –
- Nobody hates you, and even if they do; they can’t be mean to you on my 39 th birthday –
- Don’t remind me you’re not forty yet –

That evening…
- Hey birthday boy is here! – Zach welcomes his friend to his home – Hi Lisa –
- Hi Zach –
Cuddy met Zach briefly the first time she dated Lucas.
- Come in, come in –
There are 15 people in the room, including Kelly and her boyfriend Tony.
The say hello to Lucas and wish him a happy birthday.
- You couldn’t shave for your own party? – Kelly tells the P.I.
- People wouldn’t recognize me –
Next to the blonde is Tony a tall man with dark wavy hair.
- You remember Tony, right? –
- Hi, Tony – Lucas shakes his hand – This is my girlfriend Lisa –
-Nice to meet you –
- What are you drinking? – Kelly asks them as they walk to the improvised bar.
- I’ll just have a beer –
- Good, I brought special beer from a Wisconsin brewery – Tony grabs Lucas by the shoulder –Come see –
The men walk to the kitchen.
- Okay, what are you drinking Lisa? –
- I don’t drink; I’ll just have water and lemon –
- Come on Doctor – Kelly smiles – Drink with me. Have you ever had a “zombie”? –
- No –
- It’s a great cocktail, really sweet–
Cuddy nods – Okay give one –
Kelly prepares the drink and hands it over to Cuddy – Cheers –
The doctor takes a sip – This taste really good – she takes a big sip.
- I’m glad I was wrong about you – Kelly says to Cuddy – You’re not too bad –
Cuddy takes another sip – And I’m glad you are not a floozy, I mean, you slept with Lucas, you were “neighbors with benefits”, so what? Oh God that sounded like a confrontation; but really I’m okay with it …Why am I talking so much? What is in this cocktail? –
- 3 kinds of rum and brandy –
Cuddy looks down to her empty glass – Can I have another one? –
- You got it –
- Hey girls – Lucas comes back
- You’re here! – Cuddy grabs Lucas’ shirt collar, pulls him closer and kisses him.
- Wow! Someone is already in a party mood –
____________________________________
- An Ipad?! – Lucas opens his gift from Kelly and Tony – This cost like $500 bucks. Thank you –
- You’re welcome, anything you want, I can get it almost free – Tony says very proud.
They are sitting around the table as Lucas opens his presents.
- My turn – Cuddy tells him. At this point she is a little tipsy – I didn’t knew what to get you, so I you don’t want it… –
- Is this what I think it is? – Lucas takes out of the box a hat
- What is it? – Zach’s wife asks
- A fedora just like the one Humphrey Bogar used in “The Big Sleep” –
- So you do like it? – Cuddy asks
- Yes! – Lucas puts the hat on – How do I look? –
- Very handsome – Cuddy tells him
__________________________________________
- I need ice – Cuddy says to Zach
- Having another cocktail? –
- No, I had 3…and I’m…drunk – Cuddy laughs – I’ll drink water now –
Zach serves the water and ice.
- Thank you…You don’t hate me do you? –
- Nooo, I don’t – Zach tells her – Relationships are complicated. But please, be true to him -
– That’s not the problem – Cuddy rest her arms on the bar
- There is a problem? You shouldn’t be telling me this–
- I left Lucas for another man, and in the end I was empty, because I give too much to him –
- I reaaally shouldn’t be listen to this –
- What if I take too much from Lucas? – Cuddy is tipsy
- Lucas is not a martyr – Zach tells her – He is with you because he wants to. And that’s the thing about Lucas, he wears his heart on his sleeve, because he wants to, not because is easy, not because is in his nature –
Cuddy nods – I think I got it –
- I don’t think you’ll remember this conversation tomorrow morning –
________________________________________
Its late, and only Zach, his wife, Lucas and Cuddy remain in the party.
- My first errand working on the District Attorney office and I’m lost at the worst part of Newark, some thugs come my way… –
Zach is telling the story of how he met Lucas – Out of nowhere Lucas appeared and yells “Hey buddy! How are you?” So the other guys see that I’m not alone. Then he told me “get in the car” I got in car, happy to get away from there –
Lucas looks down – Don’t say it –
Lisa watches the P.I. be almost ashamed, she never seen him be like that.
- A week later, I found out the Lucas is a Private Eye working for a law firm, and that he was tailing me that day –
Lucas takes a sip out of his beer, trying to look away.
- Of course he took the opportunity and stole my briefcase with case files –
- I didn’t steal it, I borrowed it – Lucas defends himself – Anyway we should get going –
- You can’t go yet, we have to play at least one song – Zach points to the little piano.
- Yeah! – Cuddy yells – I’ve never seen you play. Why haven’t you play for me before?–
- I’m pretty sure other man has play for you…before – Lucas says it with a flat tone – So… –
Cuddy knows he’s talking about House – I want to see you play piano –
- Okay – Lucas takes Cuddy hand – But you have to seat next to me –
Lucas plays some notes – What song? – Asks to Zach – Lady Gaga? –
They laugh
- Something we don’t have to sign – Zach says as he takes out his guitar – Lisa, we are terrible singers –
- I know which one; follow me – Lucas stars playing “In the evening (When the sun goes down)” by Ray Charles.
The party ends with them playing their favorite songs.

Cuddy wakes up with a minor headache and a dry mouth. She gets up from bed and goes to the bathroom to wash her face and take an aspirin.

Lucas is in Cuddy’s kitchen, making breakfast for Rachel.
- Milk or juice? – He asks to the little girl
- Juice! – she responds.
- Juice, half sandwich and half a banana for you – Lucas serves to Rachel.
Cuddy is watching from the kitchen door.
- Good morning –
- Good morning sleepy beauty –
- Mommy I gut juuice –
- I see, honey – Cuddy kisses her daughter
- How you feeling? Want coffee? –
- Yes, please. I got drunk last night, that is so embarrassing –
Lucas laughs – Yes, but you were happy drunk. I had many girlfriends who start crying and telling you how they aren’t pretty enough, is a mess –
Cuddy smiles to the comment. – Yeah, but I only remember parts from last night, I remember talking to Zach…- she frowns
-You know – Lucas says – I didn’t have a chance to dance with you –
The Private Eye goes to the stereo and pushes the play button.
- You planned this – Cuddy says – You want your birthday to last longer –
- Come here – Lucas takes Cuddy by the hip – Let’s dance –
- Wait a minute, I know this song…-

…And just because I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
I'm not in love, no-no
(It's because...)

I like to see you, but then again
That doesn't mean you mean that much to me…

- Why did you choose this song? Are you trying to tell me something? –
- You’re reading too much into this –
- Fine – Cuddy closes her eyes. She is hearing the lyrics and wonders how will she know if she is in love again? After all, she had an infatuated heart with a man for a decade.
She takes a big breath; she likes how Lucas smells. Cuddy doesn’t hear the song anymore; she is just happy to feel Lucas’ arms around her.
- Lisa? –
- Mmm? –
- The song is over – Cuddy opens her eyes and stares at the man. – Are you okay? –
- I think I…- she stops herself. It’s too soon for her poor heart to admit something else – I think we should have breakfast now –
