Part 3.

(Cuddy was left sitting alone in her living room; the 2 bottles of wine were empty.)

(There was a knock on the door.)

Cuddy: I’ll get it.

(Cuddy dragged herself up off of the sofa, and dragged her feet until she opened the door.)

(Cuddy stood there surprised.)

Cuddy: Hi.

--

House: Hi, can I come in?

(Cuddy was taken aback.)

Cuddy: Err, sure.

(Cuddy moved to the side, House walked in and Cuddy closed the door behind him.)

Cuddy’s mother: Who is it Lisa?!

Cuddy: No-one.

(Cuddy dragged House によって the arm into the bathroom, quickly so Cuddy’s mother couldn’t see him.)

House: No boys allowed?

(House couldn’t help but be slightly amused によって Cuddy’s antics.)

Cuddy: Why are あなた here?

House: I was thinking about before, and—

(Cuddy moved back a bit. House looked at her, his eyes lit up and a slight smirk appeared on his face.)

Cuddy: What?

House: Your drunk.

Cuddy: No I’m not.

(House looked at Cuddy intently, still the grin on his face.)

Cuddy: I’ve had a few glasses--from 2 bottles of wine. It doesn’t answer my question.

(House’s smile faded, as he looked at Cuddy. He could tell she was still unhappy.)

House: Your not happy.

Cuddy: Of course I am.

House: Why are we hiding? What have あなた told your mom about me?

(House’s face had a funny 質問 mark on it.)

(Cuddy looked away from him, before there was a knock on the bathroom door.)

Cuddy’s mother: Lisa, are あなた okay?

Cuddy: Yeah, I’m fine.

(House tried to stop himself from laughing, since the whole situation was turning out to be quite hilarious. Cuddy forced House into the bathtub and pulled the シャワー curtain across to hide him)

(Cuddy’s mother slowly opened the door.)

Cuddy’s mother: I thought あなた might be throwing up.

Cuddy: No, I’m fine.

(House found drunk Cuddy very interesting. It had been a while since he had seen her this way.)

Cuddy’s mother: Are あなた sure?

Cuddy: Yeah, just give me a minute.

Cuddy’s mother: Okay, I’m going to go to bed—are あなた okay on the sofa?

Cuddy: No problem.

(Cuddy shooed her mother out the door and then closed it behind her.)

(House opened the シャワー curtains with his cane, shocking Cuddy.)

Cuddy: God, don’t do that.

House: So what did あなた tell her? I was a drug addict cripple?

Cuddy: What else would I tell her? That you’re Mr. Wonderful?

(House walked slowly towards her, towering over her.)

Cuddy: What are あなた doing?

House: I was going to キッス you.

Cuddy: Was?

(House and Cuddy kissed each other on the lips back and fourth slowly until they kissed passionately before Cuddy tore herself off of him.)

Cuddy: Maybe when I’m not so easy House.

House: You’ve never been easy.

(House took a step back and Cuddy smiled bashfully as House looked at her with a slight sparkle in his eyes.)

(Cuddy opened the bathroom door, and heard the sound of her mom snoring gently in the background.)

(Cuddy walked House to the door. House stood in the doorway with Cuddy looking up at him. There was a sort of gravitational pull, pulling Cuddy towards House. However instead of キス him again, she merely 発言しました goodnight in the softest voice—closing the door on a smiling House and she smiled back.)

(They both leant back to back on the door before walking away from each other. House back on his motorcycle and Cuddy happily back to her living room.)

To be continued.
