House and Cuddy get to the hotel. ‘Here we are.’
‘Wow! Have toi ever been here?’
‘Well, a few days...’
She didn’t need to ask more, she knew it was with Stacy. ‘Well, okay... we go in?’
‘Sure.’
They go in and approach to the receptionist, who is typing on the computer. ‘Good evening, we’d like to book a double room.’
‘Sure. Could toi tell me your name, please? And how many days do toi want to book the room?’
‘Gregory House. Days...’ He looks at Lisa. ‘How many days do we have?’
‘Hmmm I-I don’t know, we could stay here about four nights.’
House nods and turns to the receptionist. ‘Okay, four nights. She’s the boss.’
The receptionist nods and keeps typing. ‘Will toi pay at the end of the trip?’ House and Cuddy nod. ‘Good. Well, that’s all. Could toi fill in this and sign here, please?’ She gives some papers to House. ‘Okay, thank you. Your room is number 116. I hope toi enjoy your stay in Londres and our hotel services, Mr and Mrs House.’
Cuddy opens her eyes widely while she takes the key. ‘T-thank you... Have a nice day.’
‘Mr and Mrs House... that was funny.’ Cuddy blushes and they take the elevator to go to their room and leave there the luggage. Then they go to the restaurant to eat something.
‘Not bad, isn’t it? We can go for a walk later.’
‘Sure, that would be nice.’ The waiter comes to take note. ‘What are toi having, House?’
‘Hmmm... well... The special salade is quite good.’
‘Great, the same for me then.’ Some minutes later the waiter comes again with their salads and they start eating. ‘Are toi gonna be nice all the trip?’
‘Don’t think so... I can’t keep myself from being rude.’
‘Yeah, I guess...’
They eat without looking each other, until House talks. ‘Has it been a good idea? Coming here together... In general, I mean...’
Cuddy remains thinking. ‘So... toi don’t wanna be here with me right now, do you?’
‘Oh, come on, I’m not saying that... don’t change my words.’
‘No, it’s okay... toi regret, at least a bit, of coming to London...’
‘No, I don’t. At least now.’
‘So toi will probably regret.’
‘I don’t know... I’ve stopped having visions of the future...’
‘What a shame, that would be very useful...’ She thinks while eats. What if House is right and this hasn’t been a good idea. He has doubts and makes her doubt. ‘I don’t know... Maybe you’re right, maybe this is not good for us... Are you... scared about how this will go?’
‘Are toi kidding? I’m shitting myself.’ He tries to make it sound like a joke, but actually it isn't, and Cuddy knows him enough to know when he’s joking.
‘Are toi serious?? W-why?’
‘Don’t wanna know it.’
‘I want to know it.’
House sighs. ‘I... don’t wanna fall in l’amour with anyone. I don’t wanna fall in l’amour with you.’
Cuddy drops the fork and looks at him surprised. ‘What? Yo-u are...’ She shakes her head. ‘Are toi falling in l’amour with... me?’ She blinks and House get nervous.
‘Wo, wo, wo... I... just was saying... that I don’t wanna fall in l’amour with... you. It’s not because of you, but me. It hurts, and that wouldn't be good for any of our sanity.’
‘You’ve hurt me a lot of times, the same I did to you.’
‘But not in that way...’
She looks away and keeps eating. ‘I... don’t know what I feel.’ Cuddy sighs, now it’s her time, she has to say it. ‘I always had... some feelings... for you...’
‘Oh, that’s... hmm...surprising.’
‘Really? I thought toi knew it.’
‘Well, I didn’t think about feelings, but only attraction...’
‘Yes, toi see, women’s foolishness... not only physical attraction.’
‘Men can also feel plus than just physical attraction, but that takes longer... First they feel something funny in their pants... It’s complicated...’ Cuddy stares at him and he sighs. ‘Well, life is a cold, wet and moldy place, and I’m not wearing flip-flops...’
She laughs slightly. ‘What are toi waiting to get some flip-flops, Mr Metaphor?’
‘The truth is that I haven’t wore flip-flops in a very long time...’
‘You prefer to go... barefoot? I think it’s time to buy good shoes...’
He always liked to talk in metaphors, it was an easier way to open up for him. ‘But now I'm used to go barefoot, new shoes will hurt my feet and... what happens if I can't stand walking with shoes again??’
‘Oh come on, barefoot toi can... nail something. Shoes are always better than going barefoot. Yes, at first it hurts but then... new shoes are worthwhile if toi like them.’
‘What if I'm almost sure that new shoes will like me for a short time and then I'll tear them up??’
‘What IF the sky is green? What IF Stacy comes to the hospital again? What IF tomorrow rains in London?... If, if, if... What IF this doesn't goes wrong???? Yes, it's true that at the end, shoes usually get spoiled, but while toi have them it's... cool, and it's better to go with shoes than going always barefoot...’
House looks at her serious. ‘I'm starting to hate shoes metaphors. Are you... proposing something to me??’
Lisa opens her eyes and looks around. ‘N-no, no... I'm proposing that toi propose something to me.’She starts getting nervous feeling him staring at her. ‘Ehmm ah... forget it...why don't we use our real shoes and go for a walk?’
The situation has gotten a bit weird and while they go to the Londres Eye, they try to talk about anything else, the hospital, patients, they have a dicussion about medical procedures... They even talk about Wilson and his wish of giving l’amour to every woman of the world to avoid the subject. Once they get there, they wait suivant to the big wheel.
‘Do we take a ride?’
‘Why not?’ House goes to the ticket window and buys two tickets for the suivant ride. Then they go back to the queue and wait for their turn.
‘What do toi prefer, Rome ou London?’
‘I can’t choose, they’re just different places...’
‘Did toi enjoy Rome?’
House nods silently. Their turn comes and they ride on the Londres Eye. Then he stabs her metaphorically. ‘Referring to what we were talking before... what did toi mean with: I want toi to propose something to me??’
Cuddy chuckles and looks around. ‘Why do toi do this to me? Here I cannot escape.’
‘That's exactly why I'm doing it now, unless toi rather jump...’
‘No, I'm not gonna jump...’ She sighs. ‘Okay, what do toi want?’
‘An answer... What did toi mean with: I want toi to propose me something?’
She gets very nervous but tries to appear calm. ‘Well... there are 7 words, which one is exactly the word that toi do not understand?’
House is staring at her, then shakes his head side to side. ‘It doesn't really matter...’
‘Really, it doesn't matter?’ Cuddy is surprised that he doesn't insist.
‘You're not giving it any importance, why should I give it??’
She sighs. ‘Okay, it matters to me.’
‘Then why do toi pretend it doesn't??’
‘Because... I don't know what matters to you.’
‘If I was asking it means that at least I felt curious about it.’
‘Do toi really care about it?’ She looks at him and he nods. ‘You’re so expressive, toi know?’
‘I'm such a quiet person... So, you're not gonna give me the answer...’
‘Well, humm... maybe we could have... something plus than what... we have now.’
He remains thinking without looking at her. ‘Those words in my country mean a relationship.’
‘In my country if toi haven't already a dit no, means that toi want a relationship.’
‘I couldn't have a dit no because toi haven't asked me anything, so that in my country means that is toi who wants a relationship.’
Cuddy rolls her eyes. Why does she has to be the one who has guts to do this and not him? ‘You want a relationship? Don't jump out of the wheel, please.’
House chuckles. Actually he didn’t expect her to say it but now he can’t scape. ‘Do toi think it will go well?? It might go wrong...’
‘Why are toi so pessimistic? It looks like if toi don't wanna be...(happy?) less miserable. If toi don't want anything just say it!!’
‘I'm not pessimistic but realistic. Nothing lasts forever. Everything will be very nice at the beginning and then it will turn worse...’
‘And that means that since nothing is forever, nothing is worth it? It's like... Why will I eat today, if tomorrow I'll be hungry again?’
‘I'm... not sure... I don't wanna fall again... I fell long time il y a and I manage to kneel. I know I'll never stand again but at least, I'll try not to fall once more.’
‘I'll never let toi fall. I'll hold toi of your shoulders, your legs, your arms... but I'll be there at least as a friend, as I've always been.’
‘Ah, I don't know Lisa...’ House bites his fist and she looks around.
‘Okay.’ She says.
‘Okay??’
‘No, it's not okay, but I don't know what to say... pencil?’
‘Good option.’
He smiles and she smiles slightly back at him, then approaches her hand to his. He looks at it but doesn’t déplacer his hand. House looks at her eyes. She stares at him and puts her hand away, but before she removes it completely Greg holds it and their eyes meet. ‘You know me very well, toi know what kind of personality I have... would toi stand it?’
‘I’ve known toi for over twenty years, and I’ve managed to stand toi jour after jour for a very long time.’
He looks at her with lowered head. ‘You know our... relathionship won't be as other people's relationships...’
‘We can't have a normal relationship, I know. Among other things we work together... that's a "problem" that most of the couples don't have. So stop trying to scare me. I know how toi are, I know that toi have a placard on your forehead that says "Dangerous boy"’
He laughs slightly. ‘Fine. So...?’ Asks she.
‘What size of flip-flops do toi have?’ House smiles at her and holds her hand strongly.

Hello! So anywhoooo, my spanish teacher had to take a maternity leave, and now I have a sub. HE IS SO MUCH LIKE HOUSE IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY! Today, I entered the class late par maybe 5 seconds? I site down and he sits in his siège and glares at me. I kind of shifted around and took out my homework, but then the guy stood up. he said, " Tu estupido?" To which I responded cleverly with, " wait, what?" He then started rambling off assorted things in spanish which I could no longer translate , (Sounded like he was swearing, lol) and then I looked at him and said, " I'm..uh.. sorry I'm late, I fell in the hallway..." He then said, "Maybe toi should learn to walk and then toi could get to your classes on time!" OH, par the way, his name is Dr.Hart.
Don't think I'll be late to spanish anymore.
:)
Don't think I'll be late to spanish anymore.
