Chapter 6

This one is little bit shorter chapter, but I'm publishing pretty fast

House walked back inside the building as fast as he could with hurt leg. It was freezing outside and he left his jacket to Cuddy, and his pills in the pocket.... Fuck. His leg was hurting and he didn’t had his pills. But to get his pills back he should found Cuddy again. And he wasn’t about to do it. He decided to manage his pain, to get drunk, but not to talk with her again.
He was walking to the bar side with his mask in his hand when suddenly he was stopped by someone known. It was the last thing he needed,
“-House...It’s nice to see you finally..”, Adams came and stood quite close, smiling widely
“-I’m hitting the dance floor and trying to drink all bar..”, she laughed
“-Then maybe I could have one of those dance..”, he wasn’t in mood to talk with her right now
“-Sorry, but my hurt leg took everything away...”, he made funny face and she nodded with smile, “-Don’t you need to dance with some kind sponsors or rich boy your parents picked for you?”
“-It’s XXI century, I could pick by myself”, he nodded “-And those sponsors are old and boring”
“-Right, I forget that I’m only 20”, his face stayed serious, but she smiled widely
“-At least not that boring..”, she seriously tried to flirt with him, and he didn’t knew how to escape
“-And where you put Wilson? I saw you two dancing, seemed having fun”, he lied
“- You saw us dancing? I didn’t saw you around...”, she sound confused, shocked
“-Looks like this mask makes me invisible..” he raised his mask to show it to her and smiled remembering Cuddy , “-You should go to look for him”, he said with serious voice now, “-He likes to use guy code”, he said in clear voice and walked away. He hoped she’ll think that he walks away cause Wilson is into her. Adams is really pretty and smart, but right now he doesn’t need this. Relationship seems like not for him and he doesn’t want affair with team member, she’s good doctor, useful in the team.


After talking with her boyfriend Cuddy get back inside the building. She still had House’s jacket so she need to gave him it back. She walked around looking for him, till she saw him talking with that woman, she saw talking with Wilson. House’s team member, which into him. Cuddy thought that after their talking in the park, House won’t push her away, but when Cuddy was about to turn around, House and woman spilt, he walked to the bar, and she walked in different direction.
Cuddy took deep breath and walked to House. He was with his mask on again.
“-House..”, she said when she walked enough close
“-Excuse me Miss, I don’t know anyone name House”, he said in English accent turning at her
“-Drop it House, I know it’s you..”, she said in serious voice
“-Well you didn’t recognised me in first time”, he said in sarcastic voice, still with mask on
“-I remember this mask, and you’re with your cane..” she said rolling her eyes
“-Ups..” he moved his mask on his forehead and took a sip of his drink, he was holding
“-And you didn’t recognise me in first time too”, she said with smile “-And aren’t you the famous genius?” she said teasing and he rolled his eyes, “-I’m wearing the earrings you gave me last Christmas”
“-Earrings, seriously? How I should recognise you from earrings, Wilson helped me to pick”, he made surprise look at her earrings and her face changed, she disappointed, she really liked those earrings.
“-I wanted to give you back your jacket”, she said when she managed to hold herself. She gave him his jacket and he took it.
“-Thanks God, I left my pills there... I was afraid I’ll have to drink all bar to release my pain”, he raised his eyebrows to gave her understand and she bend her eyes for a second, she hate him using “- And now if you excuse me... I decided to use your advice and to hit my team member..”, he raised his eyebrows with nasty look and walked away.

When he walked away she felt like he wanted to make her jealous to hurt her, and it worked. She didn’t knew if he’s lying about hitting his team member, but he really wanted to avoid Cuddy. He mentioned his pills not without a reason.
Cuddy remembered that tonight she didn’t drank any alcohol except few sips of champagne when House brought her a glass. Now she start thinking that maybe he hoped that she’ll took her mask off. He wanted to make sure that it’s her, but it didn’t worked.
Cuddy set by bar and ordered a glass of champagne. She drank it slowly looking at dance floor and peoples on it. In minute one men came and asked her to dance, but she refused. She finished her glass and ordered the second one. I few minutes other men came to ask her to dance , but and this time she shook her head. Cuddy understood that she can’t sit there, where those men can see her alone. So she finished her glass, ordered third one and decided to look for different place to sit. She found few chairs in the back, it was dark there, so no one will ask her to dance again. She set with her new glass, but didn’t felt to drink it. She already felt some dizziness.
