seguinte morning it’s half past ten and they are asleep embraced. The light that comes from the window wakes him up. He breathes deeply and sees her lying seguinte to him.
Cuddy opens her eyes slowly and looks at him. She doesn’t know exactly what to say.
‘Hi...’
‘Morning...’
She’s still a bit confused. ‘How... Did you sleep well?’
‘The truth is that my back hurts a little due to sleeping in this position, I mean, huged to you.’
‘Oh--sorry’ She separates a bit from him and House takes a better posture. Cuddy looks at his cheek, it’s still a little redden because of the slap.
‘I'm...

House turns to her with his eyes wide open. ‘Like... me?’ He’s shocked and it took him a few segundos come back to himself. ‘Perhaps I should tell that guy to do something like...’
‘Like...?’ Cuddy stares at him and smiles. ‘Say something to that stupid guy!!’
He chuckles. ‘Aren't you gonna kiss her, you stupid flack of bumfluf??’ He approaches to Lisa a little.
‘Yeah, twenty years of waiting... that guy is very slow...’
‘Well... a bit...’ House approaches mais and he is almost touching her lips with his.
‘Oh God Greg! Come on!’ Cuddy puts her arms around his neck...

They arrive to the hotel without saying a word, go to their room and lock the door.
‘You’re not gonna say anything? You know, something like:’ Cuddy imitates House’s tone. ‘Yeah, nice guy, you choose your boyfriends very well...’
House looks at her serious and without saying anything goes to the bathroom and close the door. Cuddy gets angry. ‘Hey, do not ignore me!’
House wets his faces and sits on the floor while Cuddy is shouting and knocking at the door. ‘Can you tell me what the hell was that? Can't behave as an adult once in your life?’ House takes a vicodin pill and looks...

Night falls in Italy and they come to the Coliseum for the segundo time that day. Thankfully, the temperature has dropped and now you can be in the rua without getting a sunstroke. The night is beautiful, but House can't help feeling weird. Cuddy looks at him. ‘Here we are. It’s beautiful at night.’
‘Yep... you can do great things with four stones and two bulbs well situated... Do we walk around it?’ Then a guy approaches to them.
‘I can’t believe it... Lisa? Is it you?’
‘Sorry?’ Cuddy turns and gets surprised when looks at him. ‘David? Yes! Wow, David! Hi!!’
‘Hi!!!...

After washing and dressing, they arrive to the Coliseum. It's a sunny and very hot day. They put on their sunglasses and buy two ice creams to get a bit cooler. Then, they go for a walk around the building and come in. It’s still very hot and the ice cream helps just a little. They sit down in the shade to rest for a while. House takes off his glasses and lean his cane on the wall. ‘It’s so hot today!’
‘Yes, very very hot... I have a bit of headache because of the heat.’
‘Let’s stay here until you feel better.’
‘Yeah, thank you.’ She looks at the ice cream left. ‘I would...

Before going back to the hotel, they pick up some take away food. When they get to the bedroom, House looks for a pill in his jeans’ pocket and lies on the bed. ‘It hurts. I’m gonna have a bath.’ He goes to the bathroom and fills the bathtub whereas Cuddy talks to Wilson on the phone. Some time goes por and before going out of the bathroom he takes another pill. After that, they have their dinner. ‘I amor Italian food.’
‘And Italians amor you.’
‘Are you going to remind me this for ever?’
‘Of course! You doubted it?’
House looks at her angrily ‘I really really hate you,...

They remain in silence thinking about this strange situation and how they feel being just a few inches apart. House falls asleep first but she can’t and stays awake for a while more, until House, unconsciously, turns and puts his hand gently on her waist. Then she opens her eyes, but she smiles and finally falls asleep, too.

Step one completed, they’ve spent the night in the same cama and nothing has happened. When House wakes up, he looks at her sleeping and thinks “Ahh... too good...

Cuddy and House arrive at the airport on time, so he didn’t fall asleep and she didn’t kick his bunda for that. The situation is a bit awkward for both. He’s going on vacation with his boss, the woman he has been half his life negotiating with. And she has invited him to come with her, the man who stares at her ass, screws up her dates and fantasizes about her in the shower, but despite that, the man she can consider her best friend, and one of the people whom she trusts most.
‘Here we go Italy!’
Cuddy sits seguinte to him. ‘Phew... now almost nine hours of flight...’
‘Yep! Goodnight!’...
