You want me to Date You?

Chapter Twenty Seven

Cameron sat across from House and looked around at their surroundings for what seemed like the tenth time since they'd been seated. "I cannot believe that you went all out like this."

A smirk appeared on House's face. "Why shouldn't I? I figured that you'd like the seafood that they serve here, and it's close to the museum if you'd like to go and check it out... after dessert that is," he replied as he wiped his mouth with a napkin.

"You're in a good mood. What prompted all of this?" She asked as she grabbed her wine glass and took a generous sip of the red liquid.

House shrugged. "The meeting with the Medicaid guy ended well, so I was in the mood to celebrate. Plus you're right on it being nice to have some decent down time once in a while."

She smiled at him just as the waiter walked up to their table with a chocolate lava cake that looked to die for, along with two spoons. "Enjoy," the man said kindly as he took their other plates from the table and also placed the check face down in front of House.

"Thank you," Cameron responded earnestly, and watched as the man nodded at them both before he turned and walked away. She looked over at House and smirked as he'd already had a spoon in hand and had taken a large bite from the cake and ice cream. A giggle left her lips as she noticed a smear of chocolate on the corner of his mouth.

"What?" he asked nonchalantly, a true smile coming to his face.

"You have chocolate on the corner of your mouth," she replied simply as she took a bite of the sweet treat with her own spoon. House shrugged and continued to eat another bite of the dessert which only made Cameron giggle at him again with a roll of her eyes. "You are such a kid sometimes."

"So?" House questioned, with his mouth full.

Cameron chuckled as she quickly snatched the last bite of the treat before she sat back in her chair. "I am stuffed... and we still have to go back to the hotel and get our things so we can prepare for our flight. It looks like the museum will have to be a different time."

House nodded in agreement as he grabbed the check and stood. "Let's go then." He gently took her hand and helped her from her chair. He then discreetly paid the check at the front table before he led her outside into the now cold weather.

"I don't want to know how much that cost you do I?" she asked as she wrapped her arms around herself.

He looked down at her and quickly shrugged off his jacket and placed it around her shoulders. "Don't worry about it," he answered. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders as they began to make the short walk to their hotel as it began to snow.

Cameron rolled her eyes as she grasped onto his hand that wasn't occupied by his cane. When they reached their hotel and got into the elevator, she could deal with it no longer. She got his attention before she pulled him down to her level and kissed him soundly, running her tongue along his bottom lip.

House growled in appreciation as he quickly engulfed her in his arms and kissed her deeply in return. He was beginning to play with the hem of her shirt, when she pulled away from him with a smirk on her face. "Why did you stop?" he asked huskily, partially out of breath from lust and arousal.

The elevator dinged, telling the couple that they had reached their designated floor, causing Cameron to smile widely at him. "I wanted the chocolate that was at the corner of your mouth," she answered simply, leaving a very aroused House standing in the elevator as she began to walk down the hallway.

Woman... you will pay dearly for that, he thought as he quickly moved to follow her before the elevator doors could shut on him.

Meanwhile back at the hospital Chase and Foreman were running tests on Michael. Foreman held an ultrasound wand to Michael's throat as he watched the screen next to him. "This will show us if there's a problem with your carotid artery that might cause a blood clot. If it travelled to his brain, it could explain the aphasia and the fall," he explained.
