Part One- An Office Talk
"I think আপনি should let the P.I. go. I mean আপনি only knew about him because I hired the guy to follow Wilson. Now that Wilson and I are বন্ধু again there's no need for him..."
"House, this isn't about him working for the hospital, this is about him asking me on a সেকেন্ড date, and me accepting his offer."
"Get over yourself. I just think that there are better ways to waste hospital funds i.e. putting cable back in all the rooms."
She stares at him with a soft smile as she turns to sit পরবর্তি to him on the sofa.
"He pursued me for almost a মাস before I agreed to the first date."
"I know I was there for the whole pathethic spectacle."
"He was never afraid to look stupid অথবা silly and he was never afraid to tell me that he liked me."
"Meaning?"
"You'll ruin my dates, and write little performance reviews, প্রদর্শিত হচ্ছে your insight into who I am, and call me at ungodly hours to say how আপনি did on a case..."
"It's called being an ass, my পছন্দ pastime."
"Actions may speak louder than words, but I like words too. He has the courage to say that he likes me."
He turns to face her looking at her a long moment.
"Do আপনি like him?"
"I don't know him well enough yet to know. But so far I think he's nice."
"Then it will never work out."
"Why so?"
"Because আপনি don't want a nice guy. আপনি want a challenge. He definitely isn't a challenge."
"He's enough of a challenege for আপনি to want me to আগুন him."
She smiles smugly and walks back to sit behind her desk.He rolls his eyes.
A long silence subtles over them.
"I don't know what this is," he says as he motions with his hands pointing from himself and then Cuddy.
"Yes আপনি do. আপনি are one of the smartest men I have ever known. Don't pretend to be stupid now."
She was certain he had a witty comeback to deflect the serious vibe between them but he didn't.
Instead he stood up and walked out of the room. She hadn't expected that but then again she never expected herself to be so honest. She was the one usually afraid to say those things. She was the one usually walking away. But since Amber's death and nearly losing House again a veiled part of her soul had lifted. She didn't have alot invested in the P.I. but she was open to a new opportunity. She couldn't continue to wait for House to figure out, once and for all, what she meant to him. She was tired of the games, the innuendo, those rare moments of tenderness that he showed her but would pretend never happened. It was time for him to step up অথবা lose her forever.
