Chapter 10 – Coming back home, alone -
Cuddy opened her door and went straight to her room, she had completely forgotten about Wilson and Erin. She stopped at her bedroom door while her brain processed the last piece of information that she had seen. She gave a few steps back and looked at her couch, and there they were; two people, Erin and James. Wilson’s arms were around Erin’s body, they hugged and looked so peaceful; she wished she was in their place, she wanted to feel a hug, the warmth of his skin against hers. But tonight she was going to be all alone, once again, and this time it was only her fault.
The rain kept falling outside her window while she dressed her nightshirt. Her cama was cold and her mind wondered what House would be doing. As the same time that the drops of water fell on the windowsill, her tears dropped on her face. Why couldn’t she just say I want you, I amor you…
I’m having trouble sleeping
I’m thinking about what you’ve said
…
It’s you…
House was lying on his bed, eyes were fixed on the ceiling. He was determined, to go back as the same old House, a jerk, an asshole, a sarcastic human being who has the mental age of a 5th grader. Unfortunately tomorrow was another day, it was Sunday, but the old House didn’t care, Sunday was just a day, and he had a plan. He fell asleep más quickly than the woman that just had been in his apartment.
Cuddy couldn’t sleep, how could she? She just had missed her opportunity to be happy, and when she realized that and tried to fix it, the door was already closed. Her head rest on the pillow, and her eyes closed, full of salty water.
In Cuddy’s living room were Wilson and Erin, they haven’t noticed her coming home, in fact they haven’t noticed anything, the world stopped and they wanted to be like that forever. Wilson woke up at 6 am, and looked to the woman buy his side. There she was, a beautiful woman on his arms, Erin was something that he couldn’t explain. He moved gently trying not to wake her up, but that was no use on that.
“Hey.” She dicho rubbing her eyes and trying to open them.
“Hey, Sleepy Beauty.” He smiled.
“Did Lisa come back last night?” She asked confused.
“I think so, that means that she saw us…” He replied.
“So what? We were sleeping, nothing more. Right?” She asked again, in a rhetoric way.
“Sure, sure. I was just joking… of course.” He replied, well aware that she wasn’t asking.
“I have a feeling that something happen between Lisa and House, go to his house and snoop.” She said.
He smiled and toke a deep look into her eyes, her beautiful eyes. How could he feel that way? It was so strange.
She looked at him too; and they stayed that way for a couple of seconds. She never broke the eye contact, but came closer to him. He felt the urge to hold her in his arms and kiss her but he couldn’t decipher her signs. What had happened last night it was… but she dicho that it was nothing more than that. She kissed him on his cheek and went to Cuddy’s room. He closed his eyes and toke a deep breath.
“Man! Women are complicated.” He whispered.
Wilson drove himself directly to House’s house, in fact he was as curious as Erin. He wanted to know what the hell had happened last night; he didn’t have cena with them, and suddenly Cuddy was after House… He needed an explanation. He knocked on the door and waited. No one answered. He took the key ring of his pocket and used House’s key to open the door. Suddenly he heard a voice coming from the couch.
“If tu have a key, why do tu bother knocking?” House dicho almost inaudible.
“If tu are at home, why don’t tu answer the door? tu know what, don’t bother answering that.” Wilson quickly replied.
“What do tu want Jimmy? If tu have brought Erin I would understand, but threesome, on a Sunday is very tiring for a cripple like me; I have to work Monday.” House snorted.
Wilson sighed and asked. “What happen last night? I mean, between tu and Cuddy.”
“Huh? Not sure how to answer that. Is that a trick question? If I got it right will tu give me a lollipop?” He dicho trying to avoid a serious conversation.
“You know exactly what I’m asking. tu were suppose to have cena with Lisa and Erin, in fact, tu were the one who arranged all of that, and suddenly, por magic o a miracle maybe, who knows, tu leave a cheesecake and left us there. Not to mention that Lisa left us alone, all soaked, and drove like a maniac to your house. I suppose that she came here…” Wilson stated.
“Great speech Jimmy, tu dicho everything that is to say.” House quickly replied.
“Oh great. The jerk Gregory House is back.”
“The jerk Gregory House never left, Jimmy. He was always here, he was just numb.” House said.
“You know what? I actually thought that tu had changed. How could I? You’re right, the old House must have been numb. It’ unfortunate, because I like the new better.”
“Oh, come on Jimmy. tu never actually believe that, did you?”
Wilson turned his back to House and stopped at the door.
“I don’t know what happened last night between tu too, but I know you. You, tu change again. tu were becoming this person, this man that was actually a great friend, and now… Just make sure tu don’t stick your head into another wall.” With that, he left without letting House to answer.
“Yeah, yeah, whatever tu say.” House sighed, and left his head fell on the couch.
Erin decided to buscar Cuddy’s kitchen, the mission was finding comida to make a great breakfast; that was the key to a decent conversation right in the morning. She found naranja jugo, jugo de and frambuesa jelly; she made fresh coffee and went to the bakery, very quickly to get some croissants. She put everything on a tray and headed to Lisa’s bedroom. She entered the room and sat siguiente to Lisa.
“’Morning honey.”
Cuddy moved a little, and opened her eyes. When she saw Erin, a little smile mostrar up.
“Hey.” She yawned.
“I made breakfast.” Erin smiled. “Now lets eat before the croissants get cold, I just bought them.” She said, handing Cuddy a cup of coffee and a croissant.
After 20 minutos of a peaceful meal, Erin knew that it was the time, time to ask.
“Lisa, baby, I have to ask tu this.” She started.
“Don’t worry I’m not going to comentario what I saw in the living room.” Cuddy dicho trying to avoid what she knew Erin would ask.
“Oh!” She laughed nervously. “That was nothing. And don’t try to misleading the conversation. tu know what I want to know.”
“Yes, I do. That’s why I was changing the subject.”
