Luke Danes
"Roasted chicken with garlic risoto."
Cuddy smiled in surprise and sat down on the cozinha stool.
"I like watching you cook you're always so focused. It's incredibly sexy."
"Yeah, me with an avental covered in flour and grease is definitely a turn on. Hey, can you hand me that spoon."
"Sure."
"How was work?" He asked as he filled the spoon with some risoto and gave it back to her to sample.
"Yummy. That's really good Luke."
"Do you think it needs mais salt?"
"No. It's perfect."
"Was work perfect today too?"
"Hectic as usual. House wanting approval on crazy dangerous procedures and of course donors who want special tours..."
"Well, it's over now. Here." Luke said as he passed her a glass of white wine.
"Thanks. How was your day?"
"Let's see. Kirk wanted to pay for his meal with a jar of pennies,Taylor wanted me to give him permission to put an 'old time sanduíche stand' in front of my diner,and Miss Patty kept asking me if my new lovely doctor girlfriend knew any handsome male doctors that she wouldn't mind setting her up with..."
"So, you had a perfect day." Cuddy said with a grin.
"Yeah, I think I'll write a song about it." He replied deadpanned.
Cuddy walked up to Luke and placed a kiss on his cheek.
"I have news."
"Good? Bad?"
"Wilson and Lila are getting married."
"So it's bad."
Cuddy playfully hit him on his shoulder.
"I know Wilson has a bad history when it comes to marriage but him and Lila seem really good for each other."
"Well, you've known him longer than I have. I'll trust your judgement." He said as he began fixing Cuddy a plate.
"Lila wants us to come over tomorrow for a celebratory dinner. She's making Thai."
"I hate Thai."
"You can like it for one night."
"Whose gonna be there? I mean do I have to get into innane small talk with lots of relatives I'll never see again anyway..."
"...Cate and House along with other doctors you've met at the hospital will be there."
"Fine...I can like Thai for one night." He said as he gave Cuddy her plate.
The two sat down at the dining mesa, tabela and ate silently for a few minutes.
"Cate and House have been serious for quite awhile now. Almost six months together."
"That's nice."
"She's really good for him. She challenges his obstinate, self loathing, destructive nature, and still finds time to laugh with him."
"She's a saint. He's such a hardass most of the time I'm surprised any woman can stand him." He said as he cut into his chicken.
"You know, some people would say that about you too." She said as she poured him some mais wine.
Luke rolled his eyes.
"I am not Mr. Sunshine but I'm also not on a mission to piss everyone off that comes into my orbit. He may be a medical genius, Lise, but he's also a major jerk."
Cuddy sighed and shook her head.
"I've known him for twenty years, Luke. Believe me I know he can be an ass, but he can also be so much mais when you least expect it." Cuddy said with a faraway look.
"Maybe so...So, do I have to wear a suit to this thing?"
Luke's pergunta broke Cuddy from her reverie.
"A nice blazer and dress camisa will do,dear."
