Chapter 03: Surprise

- What’s wrong with this one? –
Cuddy asked with her hands on her hips.
- Nah…I don’t like the color…it’s too…dark – Lucas answered – The cleavage is perfect, but tu need a more, I don’t know, lighter color. Blue to go with your eyes –
They were in a boutique.
- What do tu think Rachel? – The P.I. asked the infant, she just replied.
- Mama bluuu –
- See? –
- Okay, okay – Cuddy dicho returning to the dressing room.
Lucas cell phone rang. – Yeah, I’m here – he said. – Yes, I found him…wait, Rachel come back here – Rachel walked a few steps away; Lucas had to get up to stop her. – No, I’m not with a girl, well…I am, but not like that. I’ll call tu back –
Cuddy reappeared with a beautiful sky blue dress – What do tu think? –
Lucas smiled – Perfect –

After the shopping was finish, they went to a cafe
- It’s really hot – Cuddy complained again.
- That’s what the ice cream is for –
- I’m ruining my appetite – Cuddy dicho – and Rachel’s too –
fresa for Rachel, chocolate for Cuddy, and cereza, cerezo for Lucas.
- So how was the playa this morning? – Lucas asked
- Spectacular – Cuddy dicho – The ocean was very peaceful, Rachel loved it. I wish I had a camera, a good camera, no cell phone camera –
Cuddy looked at Lucas and how relax he was – Where were tu this morning? –
- I had a…work appointment –
- Right – Cuddy was curious – and what did tu buy? tu disappear and came back with that little box–
- I’m the sleuth here – Lucas told her – But since tu are so eager to know. I bought gloves –
- Gloves? In Miami? –
- Yes, I need them for something – He shrugged
- Are tu really not going to tell me anything about this case? –
- Fine, I’ll tell tu this – Lucas told her – I’m doing it for the reward money –
Cuddy raised an eyebrow, she I was about to inquire him again but Lucas talked first.
– Hey, I have camera with me, do tu want to hit the playa later? –

- Smile – Lucas dicho to Cuddy and Rachel as he took the photograph.
They were on the beach.
- Let me see – Cuddy told him. Lucas showed her the picture, she smiled. – I should send this picture to my mother to calm her down –
- tu girls are very photogenic –
- Thank tu – Cuddy dicho – Now lets take picture with tu –
- No, no – Lucas responded – Why do tu want me in the picture? –
- You’re the reason I’m here –
- I don’t like what I’m wearing –
- Oh please! – Cuddy took the camera from him. – Excuse me? –
The doctor dicho to another tourist – Do tu mind taking our picture? –
- Of course – the woman dicho – Say cheese –
Lucas and Cuddy with Rachel in her arms posed for the photo.
- There tu go – dicho the woman returning the camera.
- Thank tu –
- And tu are lovely family – the woman said.
Cuddy and Lucas looked at each other.
- We are not together – They both said.
- Oh sorry – the woman apologized – I thought…you know –
- No, we…we are just – Cuddy couldn’t pick up a word – …friends? –
- Yes, friends – Lucas dicho very enthusiastically – We haven’t had sex in más than a año –
The woman smiled weirdly and walked away.
- Why did tu tell her that? – Cuddy asked him – It wasn’t relevant –
- I was setting the record straight –
Cuddy sighed. Why can’t I meet normal men?
- But hey, look – He showed her the camera – It’s a nice picture –
Cuddy observed the little screen, it made her feel better. Her broken inicial was now very far away.
Lucas stared at her – Are you… –
Cuddy put her hand over his mouth – Don’t ask me if I’m okay. I’m fine –

Later back at the hotel. Lucas was alone in his room. Cuddy and Rachel went to have cena at the hotel restaurant, he didn’t want to go.
The phone rang
- is he alone?– He said
- Yes, Douglas. He is – on the other side of the phone was Fowler, the security manager – It’s weird that he’s attending the wedding alone –
- He’s not here to the party – Lucas told him
– Thank tu –
As soon as he hung up the phone, there was a knocking at the connecting door.
- Hi – Cuddy dicho when he opened the door. – Are tu busy? –
- No – He let her in.
Cuddy sat down on the bed. – Rachel already fall sleep. She was very tired –
- You’re not tired? –
- No –
- tu know what I think – Lucas dicho to her – I think tu don’t want to be alone with your thoughts – He sat down siguiente to her. – Especially in that moment when you’re falling asleep and all tu can do its think about your life –
Cuddy lay down – You’re right – She looked at the ceiling – Last night I’ve spent 3 hours thinking, I still don’t know what I want –
Lucas smiled – Do tu want to discuss it with me? –
- No at all – Cuddy told him – Let’s talk about anything else but my life crisis –
- Fine – Lucas lay down too – What do tu want to talk about? The weather? –
- No – Cuddy turned her head to left to see him – The last time we were in a hotel room was… November 2009 –
- Yeah, I remember. When I was your little dirty secret, hiding in our room and then House found out and…well…yeah –
- Why are tu helping me? I mean, I break up with tu and… –
- I told you, I’ll always be there for tu and I mean it –
They stared at each other. Cuddy wondered what it would be like to kiss him again.
Someone knocked at the door.
Lucas stood up – tu know? I always want to ask tu about that trip. Did tu really think it was room service when it was House? –
- Yes, I did – Cuddy responded – Why do tu ask? –
Lucas walked to the door – Because room service announces them selves when they knock. Like right now, I know is not room service behind this door – he opened the door.
- Surprise!!! – A blonde woman came in and kissed Lucas. – The last día of the symposium was cancelled, so I decided to come to the wedding…and why is there a woman in your room? –
The woman dicho lookig at Cuddy
- This is not what it looks like – The private eye said.
