12.3. React (in any way you'd like) to this quote:
Giselle: Oh, you have such strange ideas about love.
Robert: Maybe we should just do what you do. You meet, you have lunch, and you get married.
Giselle: Oh, you forgot about happily ever after.
Robert: Forget about happily ever after, it doesn't exist.

“I think we should have sex.”
It was pretty much the last thing I expected to come out of Cameron’s mouth when she started talking about love only being found in far out galaxies or something along those lines. I really just thought she was about to have a bitch about being single on Valentine’s Day, which chicks seems to do really well. I always thought Valentine’s Day was a nice thing to be involved in, if you were seeing someone of course, but Cameron was always more pessimistic over that sort of thing than I am. I still remember the time she stood there and explained in every gory clinical detail what the body went through during sex and orgasms. I mean, god, who gives a toss? Getting off is getting off.
I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I was sceptical about her theory at first. She was busy, I was busy, neither were seeing each other, love was a load of bullshit, and sex a primal need, so why not do it together, no strings? Don’t get me wrong, my first thought was ‘Okay, where?’ but the more rational side of my brain kicked in right around the time I was trying to use microwave pizza as a metaphor and it was ringing warning bells. We’d done it once when she was off her face on meth and in all honesty, I’m surprised she even remembers it. It wasn’t anything special. It was sweaty, it was raw, it was quick, and I was out there before midnight. The only thing that made it memorable was the fact we both knew we shouldn’t have done it.
But to do it again as a regular thing, no strings? I was uncertain and knew if House ever got wind of it, we’d never heard the end of it. But then, she had a point on some level. Neither of us exactly had shiny pristine track records when it came to relationships and we were both too busy to consistently pull off the whole dating, courting, relationship thing. And I definitely had no oppositions to sex, or it being with someone as hot as Cameron. Maybe it was an ideal situation? Love was beginning to seem more and more like a fantasy and my thirtieth birthday was approaching at rapid pace. The question was, knowing how much and how often our views clashed on the job, could we happily continue working together if we were having sex after hours?
There was only really one way to find out, wasn’t there? I’m a male, so sue me.
At the very least, it was good to sleep with her when she wasn’t high.
