Chapter 6: Making Amends
“Cuddy, can we talk?”
“Yes, what is it House?”
“I was wondering if wewe would want to go out with me tonight? On a date.”
“I uhh well it has been a busy siku plus Thirteen but yeah that would be nice. Where should we go?”
“How about the new Mexican restaurant on 15th street? I’ve heard it is very good and they have live muziki there as well, wewe know wewe want to see me salsa!”
“You salsa? That’s interesting! Mexican chakula sounds good it’s a date.”
“Cool I’ll pick wewe up around seven then.”
“Okay I’ll be ready.”
Seven o’clock rolled around and House arrived at Cuddy’s place to pick her up for their date. He got out of his car which he had taken knowing Cuddy would never agree to riding on his motorcycle. He then started to limp up the walkway to her front door and before knocking he popped a couple of Vicodin and then knocked on her door. She answered immediately and House noticed she looked stunning. She was wearing a blue silk juu and a black skirt, upindo with diamond earrings and a matching necklace. House was wearing a nice pair of black patashika, longi and a light blue button up shati with a white tee underneath. It was weird how they both had picked the same colors to wear House thought to himself.
“Good evening Cuddy wewe look beautiful.”
Whoa wait a dakika I’m getting a little soft here House thought to himself and decided to make a snide maoni now.
“I see the twins are still doing well.”
“You can’t do it can you? wewe can’t go one siku without making some obscene remark about my breasts!”
“Well when wewe dress like that what’s a guy supposed to say?”
“Do wewe want me to change is the jewelry too much?”
“No no no wewe look fine I’m just being my normal punda self. Besides I have reservations there is no time for wewe to change unless I can watch then we can be a little late.”
“You’d like that wouldn’t you? No I’ll go like this. I will say though wewe look nice. Nice choice of shati we match it’s kind of sweet.”
“Well come on Cuddy we are going to be late.”
House took her hand and led her to his car.
“Where’s your bike?”
“Don’t tell me wewe wanted to ride it! I brought the car for that very reason I knew wewe would never ride on my bike.”
“Good thinking… I wouldn’t! Thanks for the gesture.”
House and Cuddy loaded up into his car and started off to the restaurant. They arrived about thirty dakika later. House got out and opened the door for Cuddy who was shocked kwa how sweet he was being he must have an ulterior motive.
The two walked in to Ricardo’s and took their seats at the reserved meza, jedwali towards the back of the restaurant. Three troubadours wearing sombreros and tuxedos arrived and starting playing muziki for them.
“This is really nice House wewe kind of went all out!”
“Well I wanted it to be nice I have something very important that I want to discuss with you. Let’s order first though and then I’ll get right on it.”
Cuddy order a small order of chicken fajitas with a side of guacamole and House ordered a beef enchilada platter. House ordered a bottle of wine and he and Cuddy had a glass while they waited for their food.
“What was it wewe wanted to talk about?”
“I wanted to talk about us and if there is going to be anything between us. I want there to be but it is completely up to you. You’re the boss ma’am. So what do wewe say?”
“Where is this coming from House?”
“Well I was talking to our daughter earlier today and she asked me if I still loved you. I don’t want to screw things up between us again so I kind of brought wewe here to tell wewe what I told her. I alisema that wewe captured my moyo twenty-six years zamani and have had it ever since which is the truth. I’m still in upendo with wewe Cuddy and want to be with you.”
A waiter brought their chakula to the meza, jedwali and served them.
“May I get anything else for you?” the waiter asked.
“No this will be all thank you.”
The waiter left.
“So Cuddy, did wewe mean it when wewe alisema wewe still loved me au was that just because wewe were stressed and felt guilty?”
Cuddy took a sip of wine.
“No. House I erm I still upendo wewe a part of me always has its just difficult. I don’t want to get hurt and don’t want to hurt wewe again.”
They finished eating and a slow song started to play.
“Would care to dance?”
“Sure House I would upendo too.”
They stood up and made their way to the dance floor. House put his arms around Cuddy’s shoulders and she put her hands on his waist and they started to dance slowly.
“As strange as it might sound House this just feels right. wewe and me here in this moment I never want it to end.”
“It doesn’t have to.”
House pulled her closer as she wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her head sideways on his chest. They continued to dance for the rest of the song just wrapped up in each other’s arms. House whispered softly.
“Cuddy I forgive you. I forgive wewe for breaking my moyo and for hiding the fact that I have a child from me. I upendo wewe and want to be with you.”
Cuddy fought back a tear and replied to what had been alisema to her.
“I upendo wewe too House and I want to be with wewe also.”
The song ended and the couple gathered up their stuff, paid for the food, and left the restaurant. On the way back to Cuddy’s house, House asked her if she wanted to spend the night at his place.
“Cuddy would wewe like to spend the night with me?”
“House I really sho…”
“Please all I’ve wanted to do all night was take wewe in my arms and kiss wewe and onyesha wewe how much I upendo you. Please stay with me tonight I want wewe and need you.”
“I’m scared House. I’m scared of getting hurt, of things not working out between us again I just don’t think it’s a good idea.”
A very hurt look crossed Houses face and Cuddy noticed it.
“Fine I’ll take wewe home!”
“House wait, I’ll stay. I didn’t know it meant so much to you.”
“Cuddy wewe mean everything to me and tonight I just want to onyesha you.”
They arrived back at Houses apartment and House walked Cuddy inside.
“You can sit on the kitanda I’m going to get us something to drink.”
House left Cuddy on the kitanda and went to retrieve a bottle of wine from his cupboard. He returned back with the wine, a couple of glasses, and a bucket of ice.
“You want to watch a movie? I have some nice chick flicks I bet wewe would like.”
“Actually do wewe have anything scary? I’m in the mood for a good horror film.”
“Not what I expected but sure have wewe ever seen Saw? It’s pretty damn scary and twisted.”
“No I’ve heard of it but have never seen it put it on.”
House got the DVD from his stack and put it in the player. He then sat down inayofuata to Cuddy and started to watch the film. About half way through the movie Cuddy started to get a little scared and moved closer to House and held his hand. He noticed the film was scaring her and put his arm around her pulling her closer to him. He wanted nothing zaidi than to kiss her but he waited. The movie ended.
“Oh my God that was horrible who thinks of that sickness has Wilson seen this? It would give him nightmares.”
House laughed.
“Yeah it is a sick movie, I don’t know if Wilson has seen it it would be funny to see jembe, hoe he reacted though.”
Cuddy smiled.
“Cuddy can I kiss you?”
“Umm I… I guess so.”
House leaned over and pulled Cuddy into a passionate kiss that lasted a few dakika they were soon making out with each other. House pulled Cuddy onto his lap but she stopped kissing him once she was there.
“Why did wewe stop kissing me?”
“I just remembered what it was like kissing wewe and how much I have missed it wewe are so good. I just wanted to stop and make a memory.”
“Well awesome are wewe done making a memory because I wasn’t done kissing you.”
House pulled her closer to him, wrapped his arms around her waist, and began kissing her again. He wrapped one hand up in her hair and kept making out with her for a few zaidi minutes. Suddenly he stopped out of breath and rested his forehead against hers.
“Cuddy I want to make upendo to you.”
“Okay let’s go to your room.”
House picked Cuddy up and while hobbling down the hallway he carried her to his room and laid her down on the bed. She kicked her black high heels off. He then hobbled over to his CD player and started to play a mixed compilation of upendo songs he only listened to when he thought of her. He went and sat beside her then bent down on juu of her and began kissing her again. Then he took his blue shati off and undid his belt. She sat up and took off her shirt, necklace, and earrings. She pulled him back to her and took off his white shati exposing his semi-hairy chest and ran her hands up and down his torso. She then planted gentle kisses all up and down his chest and stomach. In the meantime House had unzipped and removed his pants and was wearing black boxers then he unzipped and removed Cuddy’s skirt. She was wearing a black lace Victoria’s Secret bra and matching thong. Again they matched and Cuddy thought it was sweet. She pulled him down on juu of her and he started kissing her. First on the lips then the neck and slowly made his way down to her breasts. He kissed each one of them and pulled her up to remove her bra. inayofuata was the thong and she removed his boxers. They both sat there and just stared at each other. Cuddy had never looked so beautiful she looked better now than when she had in college and House didn’t look too bad either although age had not been as kind to him. Suddenly Boyz II Men’s, “I’ll make upendo to you” started to play. House laid down on juu of her and resumed kissing her all over her body. Finally getting hard he put his cock inside her and started slowly thrusting in and out. Cuddy started to moan and wrapped her legs around his waist. She then ran her fingers through his hair as she kissed him. About five dakika went kwa and after they had both climaxed twice House laid beside her and wrapped her in his arms. He kissed her neck and whispered in her ear.
“I upendo wewe Lisa Cuddy tonight has been amazing you’re even better now than wewe were in college. I don’t want this to end. I can’t let wewe get away again.”
“House I don’t plan on going anywhere. I’m right where I want to be with the man I upendo zaidi than anything in the world besides our daughter. I feel complete.”
“Good so do I. Goodnight Lisa.”
“Goodnight Greg.”
House buried his face in her hair and they both drifted off to sleep happily in one another’s arms.
Morning came and House and Cuddy woke up it was Saturday so neither had to work. They got up though and got dressed they were about to go and visit their daughter.
“I guess she has forgiven us au well forgiven me wewe really had nothing to do with it.”
“I think she has for the most part but give her time she isn’t going to be talking about getting her license, driving her first car au kissing her first boyfriend au girlfriend with wewe yet. wewe have to be patient and let her make the decision of when to open up to you.”
“I know I just hope she does and lets me know everything about her. All I want to do is spend hours talking about her and learning what all there is to Remy “Thirteen” Hadley. I already know she is a gorgeous, intelligent, young woman but I want to know more. I want to know everything about her. I will though. I will give her time.
The two got in Houses car and drove to the hospital. When there they went to room 204 where Thirteen had been transferred too and walked in to visit their daughter.
“Did wewe two get here together?”
“Yes I picked Cuddy up and brought her here to see you. Would wewe two like some time alone I’m going to go and see what Wilson is doing I’ll be back soon.”
“Yes thanks House that will be great I need some alone time with Thirteen.”
House left the room and went to Wilson’s to see what he was doing.
“He really loves you, wewe know.”
“Yeah I know. He lied to wewe he didn’t pick me up I spent the night with him last night and we made love. I think wewe got him to realize what he was missing and so he grew some balls and asked me out, after that is when “it” happened.”
“Well as much as that creeps me out to hear congratulations, so, wewe upendo him a lot huh?”
“More than anything besides you!”
“That’s sweet Cuddy I hope I find a man au woman who will upendo me like that one day. I see the ways the two of wewe are together there’s no denying upendo is there. It’s really sweet. Pretty cool that that’s how I came along, two people deeply in upendo with each other. Almost a perfect beginning to the Remy Hadley story. This reminds me I have something I want to talk about with you.”
“Anything wewe have to say I’ll listen to you.”
“Okay well I’m ready to forgive wewe and songesha on I want to know some things about my… mom.”
Cuddy smiled widely at the sound of Thirteen calling her mom.
“First of all what is your opinion of me being bisexual?”
“I have no problem with it wewe could be a lesbian and I would still upendo wewe it is your life fall in upendo with whomever wewe want. I will support wewe no matter who it is as long as they make wewe happy.”
“Good not that I would change if wewe disapproved but it is good to have your approval. Do wewe want to know why I admire and respect wewe so much?”
“Sure I would like to hear that.”
“Well when I was first hired as one of the contestants for Houses new employee tafuta I thought it was incredible that wewe were so young, a woman, and a dean of medicine at one of the best hospitals in the country. I was very impressed. I was also impressed with how nice wewe were but were also so powerful it’s nice to know your boss isn’t an ass. Oh wait…he is but wewe know what I mean. You’re just really a wonderful person Cuddy. The fact that wewe gave me up I understand now that wewe did what wewe thought was right and as I have alisema I do forgive wewe and want to get to know wewe better.”
“Good because I want to know everything about wewe as well. First love, first heartbreak, first fight, what school was like, I want to know everything.”
“I’ll be happy to fill wewe in on what wewe missed…mom!”
“Cuddy, can we talk?”
“Yes, what is it House?”
“I was wondering if wewe would want to go out with me tonight? On a date.”
“I uhh well it has been a busy siku plus Thirteen but yeah that would be nice. Where should we go?”
