Desperation
Chapter 56: Freedom
About an hour and a half later, House and Cameron were wakened by a nurse bringing in two breakfast trays. Wilson had told the kitchen to send up their trays late due to the excitement they had been thru earlier that morning.
House was the first to wake and just nodded at the nurse when she wheeled the meals next to his side of the bed. He looked down at the precious woman he was holding and hated to wake her; but he knew she needed to eat. And if all went well, they had a long day ahead of them.
He leaned down and kissed Cameron on the forehead. Her eyelids fluttered open and she smiled up in to his bright blue eyes.
“Mornin’ Ally. I hope you’re hungry.”
House hit the button that made the head of the bed sit up straight and pulled the covered breakfast trays across their laps. He rested his hand on the cover and looked at Cameron and said, “Do you think it’s safe to look?”
Cameron giggled and replied, “I figure if something jumps out at us, we should be able to fend it off between the two of us….go for it!”
“O.K. Get ready!” And with that House lifted the platter cover off the plate to reveal what could only be described as a mound of egg-type substance, two strips of nuclear fried bacon, two slices of cold, dry toast, and last but not least….a green banana.
Cameron cried, “Please, cover it back up! We have to get out of here today House!”
House covered the disgusting food and rolled it away from the bed. He swung his legs over the bed and with the help of his cane, gingerly stood up and walked to the side cabinet. He walked back to Cameron and handed her a pad of paper and a pen.
“Here. I’m going to try and rustle us up some better grub from the cafeteria. While I’m gone, start making a list of what you need me to pick up at your apartment and where exactly I might find it. After we eat I can go grab your stuff and stop off at my place to take a quick shower and change. When I come back…we’re busting you out of here!”
“Greg?”
House looked at her and saw the fear returning. In a hospital full of people, she was afraid to be in the room by herself. If he ever got his hands on Parker he would make him pay dearly for everything he’d done to his Ally.
“Allison, I’ll get one of the guys to come up and visit with you while I’m gone…how’s that?”
“O.K.”
Foreman had come up from Clinic duty to sit with Cameron while House went and got their breakfast. Upon seeing House return, Foreman met him in the hall.
House said, “Foreman, after we eat, I’m going to have to leave for a couple of hours to go pack some of Cameron’s belongings and drop them off at my house and then I’m going to take a shower and change. But as you can see, she’s too afraid to be left alone…and frankly, with him still on the loose I think it best if someone is with her at all times. While we eat, can you run it by Cuddy to see if she’ll let you out of Clinic duty to sit up here with Cameron while I’m gone?”
“No problem,” replied Foreman as he headed to the elevator to go back down to the clinic.
House entered Cameron’s room with two coffees in a carry-out tray and a bag of goodies in one hand, cane in the other. “Breakfast is served, M’lady.”
House saw that the obnoxious breakfast trays had been removed while he was gone so he set his treats on the rolling table sat down next to Cameron. He wheeled the cart over and handed her a coffee and then took the other for himself. He then opened the bag. He laid a napkin on the table in front of Cameron and one in front of himself.
“I wasn’t sure what you were in the mood for, so I got a little bit of everything.”
“Ok, I’m tempted, what do you have hidden in there?” asked Cameron.
“Let’s see, I have a blueberry muffin. I have a glazed donut. I have a mixed fruit cup. I have a banana that is actually ripe, not to mention an apple. And oh yes, I have a cherry Danish.”
As he mentioned each one he pulled it out of the bag and placed it on their table. He looked at Cameron and said, “ladies first.”
Cameron licked her lips as she eyed the goodies and said, “how about we share?” We can split the muffin and Danish in half.”
“Sounds good to me.”
So the two went about delving into their breakfast. At one point, House looked down at Cameron and smirked.
“What?”
“You have cherry filling on your upper lip from the Danish.”
Cameron reached for her napkin, but House said, “Here, allow me.”
House leaned in and sucked the cherry filling off her lip causing both of them to moan slightly. He pulled away and they just stared into each others eyes for a few moments….lost.
All of a sudden, Cameron said, “I think you missed a spot.”
House looked and said, “No, I got...”
Before he could finish the sentence Cameron stuck her finger in her Danish and plopped more filling on her lip.
House couldn’t help the grin that spread across his face. “Why Dr. Cameron, I do believe you did that with intent and forethought!”
“See, I knew they called you a genius for a reason!”
House chuckled and leaned in and took Cameron’s lips in his, sucking the filling off in the process. He continued to reign kisses on her cheeks and jaw line and then down her neck. He sighed and pulled away.
“Allison, I could ravish you for breakfast right here, right now,…but I think we better go over that list so I can get these errands done and get back here to get you checked out or busted out - either way. All I know is we’re not staying one more night.”
