The Good Old Desk


“I need an approval” – House said coming in her office without knocking on the door, as usual.
“Of … ?!?” – Cuddy asked annoyed.
“Brain biopsy”
“You know I need a medical reason to approve such thing”
“Well yea, but I thought that you’d trust me this time” – House exclaimed faking his voice so he could sound hurt.
“Oh, poor baby, did I hurt your feelings ?” – Cuddy said in mocking voice playing his game.
“Ah-hah. Pretty, pretty pwease Mommy”
“Let’s stop playing games, House. I’ve said it hundreds of times, I’ll say it one more time – you can’t play with people’s lifes like this …” – she tried to explain but was cut off by House.
“Yea, yea, Cuddles, I’ve heard this enough. Yes, I don’t have a medical reason but have I ever been wrong ?! I mean, you and I both know that I’m right and please that time let’s do this quicker, just say YES” – House jerked around.
“No” – Cuddy simply said.
“Yes” – House tried to counter.
“No” – Cuddy almost yelled angrily at him.
“Yes” – House continued loving the fact that she’s becoming mad.
“I said NO, House! Can’t you just …” Again she tried but this time House cut her off without the power of words.
‘She’s so beautiful when she’s angry.’ – House thought. ‘How can I not kiss her..’
When she opened her mouth to yell her ‘NO’ one more time, House couldn’t resist the temptation. Plus the burning little flame inside of him that’s called ‘love’ wasn’t helping him right now. So he said to himself ‘Now or never House’. He quickly came near her and their lips collided. He kissed her with such a passion that he didn’t know he could feel, he didn’t even know if it existed. When his lips touched hers he felt different, he felt … good.
‘What’s he doing? He’s going to kiss me’ Cuddy thought and then yes, it happened, the move she was waiting him to make for so long. She kissed him back, of course. Immediately she collapsed into his touch. She felt great when his hands found her waist so she thought she could move hers around his neck.
Their kiss lasted as long as the air in their lungs could give them. When they broke apart House was looking her straight in the eyes. He still held her close to him and she didn’t intent to let him go.
“I love you, Lisa. I need you … and I want you” – House finally confessed.
Cuddy didn’t know what to say. Even if she wanted to she just couldn’t move her lips. House was going crazy because of her silence and she felt the tension in the air. She took his hand off of her cheek and intertwined their fingers. She then leaned in his touch and kissed him.
“I love you, too Greg” – she finally managed to say.
Before he could even understand what was going on, she was pushing him straight to the door. He thought she was going to throw him out of her office but instead of that putting her hand on his she locked the door. House smiled at her after he realized what her intention was. She then moved away from him just to close the blinds.
He took her in his arms. He was finally feeling complete. They kissed with raw passion. He moved her onto her desk spreading all of the things that were on it.
They were together, making love, on the very same old-new desk just like they did 20 years ago. There they were, feeling finally at peace because after all they had been through, they were finally together.
