Chapter 10 : new chapter, no "real action" but some manipulation and thinking. Hope you'll enjoy it !
Wilson and House are now in the bar with the “cool” barman about whom House had spoken, they drink a cocktail and try to find a solution for Cuddy.
-So, what do we do now? Have wewe any idea? Wilson asks.
-No. What do wewe think we should do? Let her live with this man for two days? Try to find something compromising on the tenant au on MacEnzie? If only I knew a detective!
- Well… we know one…, majibu Wilson with some hesitation.
-Who? asks House. No, no, no, don’t even mention his name!
-But he’s good, he may find something we can use to get the apartment earlier!
-Wilson! Do wewe really think he’ll accept to work for me after …. Well, wewe know after what!
-A job is a job, I’m sure he’ll do it.
-If we don’t find anything else, then maybe… but first I’d like to find another solution, says House after a while.
-Ok. Any suggestion?
-Let me think…
-And … why not to discredit Cuddy with MacEnzie? Wilson suddenly says.
-Can wewe explain your idea to me? majibu House interested.
-Well, if we tell him she’s an unpleasant, execrable, ugly bitchy girl who’ll annoy him for nothing, who always complains about everything… then maybe he won’t accept to accommodate her.
-And we can also talk about her daughter, a real little pest, a spoilt child who touches everything, runs everywhere, jumps on the couch, that one of her inayopendelewa games is to scatter noodles everywhere in the living-room… then he’ll certainly refuse to have both of them in his house! adds House with a smile. Wilson, I knew wewe could be a bad boy! Cheers! We’re gonna discredit Doctor Cuddy with this MacEnzie.
-Cheers! But we have to choose carefully what we’re gonna say about her and Rachel, because she may have problem then to run the hospital, Wilson adds.
-Don’t worry! She’s the best one to run and improve a hospital, and her professional reputation has already preceded her. MacEnzie doesn’t know her and we’re gonna onyesha him how awful she can be, majibu House with a little smile.
Meanwhile, Cuddy tries to explain Dr. Thomas, her replacement, what he absolutely needs to know to run PPTH. He seems a little overwhelmed kwa the extent of the work, but he also seems to be willing to do the best he can…
-At least, I won’t have to supervise Doctor House, he says with a smile.
Cuddy looks at him, surprised. Why do wewe say that?
-Well, I know he was working here for a few weeks and everyone knows he is…
-He is? Cuddy majibu a little irritated and gives him a murderous glance.
-He is… a little stubborn and … does exactly as he pleases, so I assume it’s difficult to supervise him, majibu Dr. Thomas with hesitation. He suddenly remembered that Doctor Cuddy and House had a relationship.
-Forget him and try to concentrate on the current work, she majibu coldly.
Dr. Thomas looks at the floor and doesn’t say anything. Cuddy can’t help to take House’s defense once more, even after all he’s done to her. She doesn’t know why she feels the need to defend him against the other doctors, House is a brilliant doctor, a world-famous doctor, but he’s uncommon and a lot of their colleagues are envious and at the same time they admire him. However this “Thomas” gets her on the nerves, he tries to make humor but he isn’t funny at all, he even tried to flirt with her but she put him frankly in his place. Since he’s gone, the atmosphere at the hospital is not any zaidi the same. There is no zaidi “surprise”, no zaidi new, risky and creative experience to treat the patient. No zaidi outburst of anger, no zaidi sweet banter, no zaidi allusions to her ass, no zaidi sweet moments… She misses House so much! And she shouldn’t! She knows she shouldn’t miss him, upendo him, need him… but she just can’t help it. But soon, she will begin a new life, and she hopes he’ll be a full part of it. She and Rachel need him in their life, just like he needs them too.
-Doctor MacEnzie?
-Yes. Do wewe need something, Doctor House? MacEnzie majibu and smiles.
-Hm, no, not really. I just wanna know if the rumor is true.
-What kind of rumor? MacEnzie asks, a little surprised.
-I heard that wewe had suggested accommodating Doctor Cuddy, the new Dean of Medicine.
-Oh! Yes, the apartment she wants to rent will only be free inayofuata week on Saturday and she arrives on Tuesday I think, so she needs a place to live for a few days and I think it’s better for her and her daughter to live in a house than in a room in a hotel, don’t wewe agree? he asks with a smile and light in the eyes.
-Yes, it’s very kind of you, I’m sure she’ll appreciate your gesture, says House sighing and seems to be very sorry for MacEnzie. MacEnzie looks at him, he doesn’t know how to interpret House’s glance.
-Hm, Doctor House, may I ask wewe something?
-Of course.
-Why do wewe seem to feel sorry for me?
-Oh! wewe don’t know her, do you?
-Who? Doctor Cuddy? No, I just know her of reputation, I know she’s a very good Dean of Medicine, but effectively I don’t know anything about her. Is it something I have to know about her? he asks a little anxious.
House looks at him as if he wanted to warn him of a threat. Well, wewe look kind then I’m going to say to wewe two au three things on her, but wewe have to promise me not to tell anyone what I’m going to tell you, House says and looks at MacEnzie straight in the eyes.
-O … okay. I promise.
-The first thing wewe have to know about Doctor Cuddy is that she’s a real bitch. She always wants to have the last word, she can't stand being contradicted. She always complains, nothing au no one is good enough for her. She’s very demanding, she likes being served and she will probably ask wewe to babysit her little girl. I hope wewe have a big house and that she’ll have her own room as well as her daughter, adds House kwa smiling while MacEnzie looks zaidi and zaidi anxious. MacEnzie, are wewe ok? wewe seem very pale.
-Yes, I’m fine, thanks. Is there anything else?
-I just told wewe the minimum necessary. Do wewe want some information about her daughter?
-Well, yes.
-She’s a real pest, a spoilt child, she jumps and runs everywhere and her mother lets her make everything she wants like for example play with noodles in the living-room. I hope your kitanda isn’t too new and that wewe don’t pay it too much, because … with this child… well, wewe see what I mean, you’re a pediatrist, says House and gives him a wink. And House keeps on telling him awful things about Cuddy and Rachel.
MacEnzie looks a little scared, he doesn’t know if he should believe all what House said, he loves his house and his furniture, his Marafiki always tell him he’s a maniac who likes his nyumbani zaidi than people, and that’s why he’s still single. When Malcolm asked him to accommodate Doctor Cuddy and her daughter, he was first reluctant, then he accepted because some colleagues told him Doctor Cuddy was stunning and that they’d like to have such a woman in their house but because of their wife it was difficult. He thought then that he could maybe flirt with her, and as one thing leads to another … But now, after all what House told him, he’s not sure any zaidi to want to accommodate her at him. On the other side, now he accepted, it wouldn’t be fair to refuse.
-Doctor House, is it true that Doctor Cuddy is a beautiful woman? he suddenly asks, taking House of-guard.
-Well, I won’t lie to you, Doctor Cuddy is really gorgeous, a poisoned rose if wewe want my opinion.
-Finally a good point for her! MacEnzie says a little relieved. If she’s really as beautiful as everyone says, then he can maybe forgive her and her daughter some faults. The loneliness begins indeed to be heavy, and he feels zaidi and zaidi the need to be with somebody. He will think about it, but it can be worth to sacrifice a kitanda if at its place he finds the love, isn’t it?
-I hope what I’ve told wewe will help you, says House and leaves. He’s worried. He saw on MacEnzie’s face that this one was about to refuse to accommodate Cuddy, but after he told him Cuddy was a gorgeous woman, his attitude changed suddenly. House saw the light in MacEnzie’s eyes and it frightened him. House is afraid that this guy will try to seduce Cuddy, and jealousy invades his heart. He hopes that all he told will eventually lead MacEnzie to refuse to accommodate Cuddy, to stay away from his love, but… who knows what will happen? And it’s already Friday, Cuddy arrives in 4 days, he must find something, he won’t kubeba to know her in the same house as this f….g guy!
-I can see at your face that our plan doesn’t work, says Wilson when he meets House in the bar. His friend called him 10 dakika earlier. House looks angry and jealousy lights his eyes. Wilson is afraid his friend can do another stupid thing, like running his car in MacEnzie’s dining-room this time.
-No, it didn’t work well.
-What happened?
-He was about to refuse and then he asked me if Cuddy is a beautiful woman and…
-And wewe alisema yes.
-Of course, I alisema yes! I can’t lie about it, everybody knows it! House shouts.
-House! Calm down! Don’t do another stupid thing! If wewe want to lose her once again, then … go, do a stupid thing, but …
-I know, Wilson! I have to behave like an adult, I have to control myself! House says desperate.
-I’ll help you, House, you’re not alone.
After a while of silence, Wilson says: House, if wewe want, I can call her and explain…
-Explain what? That I’m the one who organized all this? That the man who could have killed her is the one who gave her name for the job in order to be inayofuata to her again? What do wewe think she’ll believe Wilson?
-I think she’ll be angry and mad at wewe maybe but …
-No! She’ll think that I’m gonna try to take her back kwa every possible means, and she’s certainly afraid of me, she probably fears that I can be dangerous for her au Rachel… Do wewe really think she wants to see me again? After all I’ve done to her? he adds sadly.
-House, I’m sure Cuddy still loves you, she’s maybe mad at wewe because of what you’ve done, but I also know she needs wewe in her life just as wewe need her in yours. Just give her time, and learn to trust her. You’re meant to be together, how can wewe doubt it?
-I … I don’t know, Wilson. I upendo her, but I’m not sure to be the man she needs, the man she wants.
-If wewe don’t try, if wewe don’t talk to her, you’ll never know.
-That’s why wewe stay here with me instead of asking out the woman at the meza, jedwali there? majibu House with a little smile.
Wilson blushes. He doesn’t think House has noticed his interest for this woman. He should have known it, but … he’ll always surprise him with his skill of observation. In front of the expression of Wilson’s face, House laughs.
-How do wewe know? Wilson asks.
-Each time we come here, she sits at the same meza, jedwali and wewe look at her with hungry eyes, it’s obvious that wewe like her, House says and punches gently Wilson’s shoulder.
-Well played. Do wewe think I have a chance?
-Let’s try and you’ll know! House majibu with a wink.
-Only if wewe promise me to keep control and to trust Cuddy, Wilson says and looks at House straight in the eyes.
-I promise wewe to behave, and I rely on wewe to help me. But wewe have a few days free before Cuddy arrives, so take your chance with this girl. I think she’s worth it.
-Yeah, I agree, so see ya, says Wilson and goes to the meza, jedwali where the girl sits.
Wilson and House are now in the bar with the “cool” barman about whom House had spoken, they drink a cocktail and try to find a solution for Cuddy.
