Hope you like this part, comments welcome and appreciated :)
The fundraiser was upon them, and House – true to his word- was going to willingly attend. Cuddy had warned him that he had better be on his best behaviour, and that there was to be no insinuating that they were in fact ‘together’ – she didn’t want everyone to know, it would bring with it too many tanong and would complicate everything. So, when their work araw consisted of their usual banter and arguments, she was hopeful that he would continue as per their agreement tonight.
Later that night at Cuddy’s place, she was getting ready for the fundraiser: her stockings, her new purple dress (which she had bought specifically to torture House), her jewellery, her make up and her hair. Then she was ready to go, she really couldn’t wait for the night to be over, because when it did, she knew she would be having a rather madami ‘adult’ time with a rather sexy doctor. She smiled at the thought, and couldn’t wait to see his expression when he saw her dress.
House flung on his suit and attempted to tie his bow-tie unsuccessfully, so he decided to do it James Bond style and have it hanging loose around his neck. He was actually looking pasulong to tonight (did I actually just think that? He wondered) even though he could not ‘be’ with Cuddy, he could spend the night enjoying the view and teasing her, baiting her for later, he knew instinctively that she would look HOT tonight, she always did. She could be wearing a sack and he knew that she would, hands-down, be the most gorgeous woman in the room, hell in the world even. He could still not quite believe that a woman as gorgeous and smart and successful as Cuddy would let him do the things he did to her, that she would even let him into her house was sometimes a mystery to him. She was often a mystery to him, his constant enigma, his puzzle, and if he was honest he loved her even madami for it (‘loved her’ did I just think that? He wondered, slightly at awe at his subconscious telling him what he had truly always known but was too scared to admit). Tonight he was going to have some fun first and then she was going to get a surprise that he knew she would … dare he say it… love.
House was standing at the bar with Wilson when Cuddy came in. They knew instinctively it was her because every single eye (male and female) was drawn to her. Sure they had all expected her to look stunning, as the host she always did, but really this was something else. When House saw her he gave a low whistle and cast a side-ways glance at Wilson who was staring slack-jawed at their boss. Her dress was a deep purple, with a low-cut front and a tantalising view of her cleavage, the back was criss-crossed ribbons, and the whole dress looked like it was painted on, it fit her like a segundo skin: hugging all of her curves and leaving very little to the imagination. House gave a small smirk and another whistle as he remembered that he would in fact be going tahanan with that tonight.
Wilson turned to House with an appreciative grin on his face:
“Man, that’s even better than the last dress. How did you know she would go one better?” Wilson questioned, alluding to the fact that his friend had told him only moments before that she would look super stunning tonight.
“It’s Cuddy.”
“Care to elaborate?”
“She always has to out-do everyone, including herself. Plus this was all rather rushed so she is giving the male doctors a little treat for making it.” He sinabi with a wink.
“Hm, well I will definitely be going to the susunod event then, if she’s going to tuktok that outfit.” Wilson grinned.
“Hmm.” Was all House replied with, taking his glass in one hand and his cane in the other, he ambled in Cuddy’s direction.
“Why, Doctor Cuddy, you do look delectable tonight.” He said, loud enough for a lot of them to hear as he walked towards her. “Which hooker did you nick it from this time?” He smirked at her, loving the conflicting emotions he saw behind her eyes: anger at his sleazy remark, but some lust their too.
“Haha,” she laughed it off. “Well, it definitely wasn’t one that you would know – too high class.” She shot back with a grin, not missing a beat.
“Ah, touché.” He sinabi with a smirk before turning around to head back to the bar where Wilson stood looking at him with a look of pure admiration, mixed with a hint of annoyance.
“Are you trying to get yourself impaled on her shoe?” Wilson questioned.
“NO, that would hurt.” Was the reply.
Wilson gave him a look, and then spotted his loose tie: “Here, I’ll fix that. Don’t want to give her another reason to yell at your sorry ass.”
“NO, no, no.” House shot back, don’t you come anywhere near me with those wandering hands.” He joked, feeling Cuddy’s gaze on him as she came towards them.
“Hello James, House. Thanks for coming.” She sinabi looking only at Wilson.
“What, do I not get a thank you?” He teased.
“Can I get you a drink?” Wilson shot in, noticing the look of annoyance flit across Cuddy’s eyes and wanting to avoid confrontation.
“Sure, martini, please.” She sinabi while a hundred inappropriate sagot to House’s nakaraan tanong swirled around in her head. She turned on House with a smile when Wilson went to the barman: “You will get your thank you later.” She drawled. House gulped as her hands went to his chest until he realised what she was doing.
“People are looking.” He sinabi with a smirk.
“What, not had anyone watch before.” She shot back, man she was on-fire tonight. She took his tie and began to fix it for him, letting her hands brush his chest on quite a few occasions, but keeping an annoyed expression on her face. House found himself rather turned on sa pamamagitan ng her outfit, and the combination of her ‘pissy face’ and her soft touch could drive a man crazy.
When Wilson returned with her drink, she had let go of his tie (satisfied with the result, but not with the limited physical contact they could have)
“Thanks.” She said, grateful that she was going to have to do the rounds, as they way House was looking at her would make her do some irrational things.
When she walked into the crowd to mingle, Wilson gave a low whistle at the sight of her retreating form, and House had to admit that she looked sexy as hell.
“She looks good tonight.” Wilson sinabi quietly.
“That she does, she’s really gave the twins the bituin treatment.” He sinabi with a lecherous grin. While wondering what Wilson was up to, as he never usually nagkomento on her choice of attire as much, but to be fair she had never looked this good at one of these functions (in House’s opinion she had looked even better in his bed, but that wasn’t something he wished to share with his friend).
“She looks…happy.” Wilson sinabi with a far off look in his eye. “It bumagay her.”
“It does that,” House drawled. “If I had known all I had to do to make her get out the big mga baril was to make her happy I would have tried that years ago.” House joked.
“What ever did happen on that ‘date’ you two went on?” Wilson asked, turning on House.
“Not much.” Was House’s reply (what am I supposed to say? He wondered)
“That’s a bit vague.” Wilson admonished.
“She looked hot, not as hot as tonight though. We had dinner. We talked. I left. susunod araw we went to work.”
“Ok. You could be madami specific.”
“Why would I want to do that? I like to keep you guessing.” He sinabi with a waggle of his eyebrows.
“So you wouldn’t mind if I danced with her?” Wilson asked sheepishly.
“No, no, go ahead, just don’t do something I wouldn’t do.” House sinabi to his friend, smiling to himself as Wilson walked towards Cuddy.
Cuddy watched from the crowd as they talked, watched House’s expressions change and found herself wanting to be the only one he was talking to, the one to have his undivided attention. It was then that Wilson pulled himself away from the conversation and headed towards her with a rather determined look on his face. It was then that she spotted House’s grin and wondered what was about to happen.
“Lisa, enjoying your night?” Wilson asked and Cuddy found herself thinking that ‘Lisa’ sounded strange coming from his mouth and not House’s.
“Yeah, trying to do as much mingling as I can, got to keep the donors coming.” She sinabi with a grin.
“Yeah, well, do you want to dance?” He asked with his boyish grin.
“Ummm…” She looked at House to see him smirking with glee. “Sure, but I have some madami mingling to do, and I think I will need another Martini before I am the first up to dance.” She sinabi with a smile, excusing herself and heading for the bar – heading fro House.
He saw her coming and so he let his gaze wander all over her body. Everyone else would just see it as House being House and objectifying her, but she saw it, no felt it, as if he had touched her, as if he was caressing her.
“What did you say to him?” She demanded, ignoring the slight aching in her belly as she got near him.
“Nothing. I merely told him the details of our date.” He sinabi with a grin.
“No, if you had told him that he would not be over there asking me out.” She said, ordering her drink before continuing, ok so she had changed his tanong a bit but she wanted to know what House was up to. “What did you say.”
“Well, I may have left out a few, ok a lot, of important details which may have led him to think that you a single.” He grinned at her then, and she thought she may loose all of her self-control before the night was over if he kept doing that.
“I am single.” She shot back, not wanting to give in, wanting to get a rise out of him like normal.
“You know what I mean.” He growled, giving her a long look as if to say ‘I will make you pay for that remark later’ . She gulped in response and took a hearty lunok of her drink before heading back into the crowd, leaving House staring at her asno as it swung from side to side as she moved. ‘Man, I’m going to have fun getting that off of her later’ he thought with a grin, it would be hell to get off, and he knew that sa pamamagitan ng the time he got a chance to she would be almost begging for it.
After a very boring half an oras of mingling, Cuddy was back talking to Wilson, trying not to think about what was going on in his head. He was a renowned ‘panty-peeler’ and she did not intend to become one of his ‘challenges’, she did not need saving, and she had a boyfriend (boyfriend? Is that what he is?). As Wilson tried again to get her to dance she glanced at House to see him engrossed in an animated conversation with Cameron, and that made up her mind for her: if that was how he was going to play then so would she. She grabbed Wilson’s hand and lead him on to the dance floor to cheering from the crowd and then many joined them in dancing to the upbeat song, while House looked on with a rather grim expression.
