"Ever thine ever mine ever ours" – Ludwig van Beethoven, The Third Letter
He never meant for it to happen. In fact, he'd been wanting to keep it from happening a bit longer, until he had done more research because he wanted it to be perfect. Now it was too late.
Earlier in the day...
Leonard looked at the text on his phone from Penny.
'You need to stall Dr. Whack-a-doodle.'
To say Sheldon would go ballistic when Leonard told him they would be home late was an understatement. Leonard knew this would earn him a third strike and he did not want to have to take the class again.
There's only one thing I can think of that Sheldon would understand….
"What do you MEAN you need to make a stop before we head home?" Sheldon Cooper asked his roommate/best friend Leonard Hofstadter. "Tonight is date night with Amy Farrah Fowler. I've never been late before and I certainly don't intend on being late tonight!"
"Maybe you should find another way home then," Leonard shot back. "I'm sorry if my needing to pick up an inhaler for my asthma inconveniences you but I can't find my spare."
Sheldon rolled his eyes. "You left it at Penny's the last time you and she decided to have a "coitus marathon". Wait - please don't tell me you used it all up that night?!"
"No, Sheldon," he said, rolling his eyes. "First, we weren't having a "coitus marathon". Second, Penny was showing me some of the stunt moves she learned on the set of her tv show and she knocked it into a glass of wine."
Leonard was hoping his roommate wouldn't catch on to the lie. While Sheldon was unable to tell the simplest of lies, Leonard didn't have any problems doing it. In fact, he was more than happy to tell a white lie or two to Sheldon if it helped out Amy's plan for their date night. Unbeknownst to Sheldon, Amy had enlisted their friends in her plan to seduce him. Four years was long enough and everyone, especially Amy, was tired of waiting for him to be ready.
I wish I knew what Penny had planned out, but I know she'll tell me later. Whether I want to know or not.
"Look, you'll only be five minutes late at the most," Leonard told him. "Why don't you text her and explain the situation. I'm sure she'll understand."
"Fine," Sheldon huffed.
A minute later he had his response. 'Due to me reducing the number of cigarettes he's allowed, Ricky was a little extra ornery this afternoon so I'm running a few minutes behind myself. I'll see you at 7:05. - A'
"See, she's fine with it," Leonard said.
"I suppose," said Sheldon, "but no later than 7:05."
"Understood," said Leonard, smiling to himself.
"Damn it!" Amy swore. She had gone to put Sheldon's glass of Strawberry Quik on the breakfast counter in his apartment and tripped over Raj's dog, Cinnamon, spilling the drink all over her outfit and the floor. She checked the time - 6:30. She had thirty-five minutes to clean up the floor and figure out what to do about her clothes.
"I'm so sorry, Amy!," said Raj. "Emily and I will clean up everything. Do you want us to go to your apartment for more clothes?"
"We don't have time. I'll take care of the floor if you'll go get me more clothes." Amy said trying not to drip more Strawberry Quik on the floor.
As soon as Raj, Emily and Cinnamon left Amy stripped off her outfit praying no one walked in on her and the secret lingerie she only shared with Victoria. Of course, she was hoping she'd be sharing it with Sheldon tonight but that was the last thing on her mind.
She cleaned up the floor, checked the rest of the kitchen for any other spills, grabbed her clothes and one of Sheldon's bathrobes and went to the bathroom to wash up. Knowing she had a few extra minutes before Sheldon got there she decided to take a quick shower. She couldn't very well seduce him smelling like Strawberry Quik, could she? She laughed to herself thinking maybe she should. After all, he loved his Strawberry Quik and maybe if she smelled like it he'd transfer those feelings to her. Shaking her head at this outrageous thought she stepped into the shower.
"So what are you and Amy doing for date night?" Leonard asked pulling up in front of the building.
"Dinner and a movie of her choice," Sheldon said. "I'm hoping it won't be anything too hippy dippy but she wouldn't tell me what we'd be watching. Just told me she wanted to 'surprise' me which I find strange because she knows how much I loathe surprises."
"I'm sure she won't pick something she knows you hate," Leonard told him opening the door to their building. "And you even have a minute to spare. It's only 7:04."
"That will leave me a minute to walk up the stairs and I have to brush my teeth before she gets here," said Sheldon.
"Well, have a great date night. I'm spending the night at Penny's," said Leonard as Penny opened her apartment door.
"Hey, sweetie. Hey, Moonpie!" she said to the guys.
"Penny, how many times do I have to tell you only my Meemaw can call me Moonpie?" Sheldon said getting out his key and opening the door to his apartment.
Amy cut off the shower and started drying herself as quickly as possible. She was so deep in thought when she pulled back the curtain and stepped out of the shower she didn't notice the bathroom door opening at the same time.
The last time Sheldon can remember his jaw dropping like this was when Amy spoiled 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' for him. She helped him close it that time but this time she was too frozen in shock to do anything but stand there.
After a minute Sheldon said, "A...a...Amy? Wha...What are you doing in my bathroom? And why are you...NAKED?!"
