A/N: So I hope you liked the first chapter. Here's the second one.

Laila walked into her apartment and saw Penny sitting on the couch watching TV. She sat down in Sheldon's seat. She still didn't know it was his. It was the first seat she sat in when she moved into the apartment.

"So I am Sheldon approved." Laila told Penny.

"Really? Wow. He must really like you."

"I don't know. But I like him."

"You like Sheldon? Like how?"

"I like him. I don't know how or why but I do."

"Sheldon is a freaking nut-case."

"Oh I realized that. I like that about him. He is a mix of crazy and smart and just I don't know."

"You don't have a chance with him though. He is not a fan of sex."

"Who said I wanted to have sex with him. I just like him as a friend."

"Well don't fall in love with him or anything because it wont work out."

"Ok. I wont."

Then Laila got up and got dressed. She put on a flash t-shirt and jeans. She put her hair in a pony tail and grabbed her purse and headed off to her first day at work.

"So do you like Laila." Leonard asked Sheldon while they were watching TV.

"Well, I like her as a friend. She is smart yet she seems like she likes to have a good time."

"Well you know Sheldon having a good time is not always a bad time."

"Yes but if you have too much of a good time who knows what will go wrong."

Leonard had more to say but he didn't feel like getting into a argument before work. They walked down stairs together.

"Well you must not think she is all that bad since you invited her into our little group."

"I invited her into the group because it is only logical. Penny will probably invite her to our gatherings."

They got into the car and drove to work. Sheldon did like her as a friend even though he just met her. He just didn't want to admit it to himself. They got to work and they each went to their department.

Everyone was working and lunch time rolled around. Laila put down what she was working on and walked down to the lunch room. While she was walking she passed Sheldon's office. She walked in and sat down in front of him, leaning on his desk. He looked up from what he was doing and shook because he was startled.

"Did I scare you?" Laila asked.

"You just startled me." Sheldon said.

"Well would you like to go to lunch with me Sheldork?

"Ha-ha. Sheldork a very fine play on words. Don't call me that again."

"Fine. So do you want to go to lunch with me?"

"Ok. Why me?"

"Because I only know you. I am not the type of person that likes to sit alone."

Sheldon put his papers away and got up from his chair. The two walked out of his office. They walked to the cafeteria.

"Well you do seem very social."

"And you don't."

"I don't?"

"No. You seem like you get flustered in even simple social occasions."

"Well I don't like to meet new people. If that is what you are implying."

"Well I am a new person and you are talking to me."

"I guess you are one of the lucky ones."

"So your saying I am lucky to be in your presence and that your talking to me?"

"No. But it was implied."

Laila giggled. They got their food and sat down. The rest of the gang sat down a little bit later. Bernadette looked at Laila.

"Hi, I'm Bernadette."

"Dr. Laila Evens. Nice to meet you."

"That's just what we need another Doctor." Howard said.

"You must be Howard." Laila said

"Yea. How do you know?" Howard asked.

"Well with Penny's description of you being "A short Jewish dude. He is the only one who is not a Doctor." you fell right under that category." Laila replied.

"She is now part of our group." Sheldon said.

Raj whispered into Howard's ear.

"This is Raj." Howard said jesturing to Raj. "He doesn't talk to women."

"What is he gay?" Laila said.

"No he is just shy around women. He cant talk to them unless he is drunk."

"Oh." Laila continued to eat.

"So what is your field?" Bernadette asked.

"I am a Biochemist." Laila answered.

"So do you work in Microbiology?"

"Sometimes. I work in all Biochemistry areas."

"Oh that's cool."

Laila looked around. Then Sheldon started to talk.

"Did you know Karaoke means empty orchestra in Japanese?"

"Yes. I also know that Karaoke is fun." Laila said.

"Karaoke is fun is an option so you don't know that its fun you think it is fun." Sheldon said.

"I also think Karaoke is fun." Bernadette said.

"We should all do it sometime." Laila said.

"We could all go on Saturday." Leonard added.

"That sounds good." Howard said.

Raj whispered into Howard's ear. "Raj is in." Howard said for him.

"Well I am not in." Sheldon said.

"Why not?" Laila said.

"Because there will probably be drinks and partying going on."

"You need to loosen up."

"I hope you mean figuratively because my bone structure is fine."

"Yes I mean figuratively. Its just Karaoke why don't you come?"

"I told you why I don't want to come."

"You should come. Its not like you have to drink or even sing just come out." Laila was determined to get Sheldon to come.

"Fine. But only because your constant nagging is annoying me."

Laila giggled and continued eating. Then it was time to go back to work. So that's what everyone did. They all worked until it was time to leave. Everyone went home. Laila got home to the building before Leonard and Sheldon so she just went into the apartment. When she walked in Penny was on the couch making out with a strange man.

"Hello." Laila said.

Penny took her lips off of the man and said "Oh crap. Uh Laila this is Greg."

"Hello Greg. I guess ill be going now." Laila put her purse down and then left. She turned around and saw Sheldon.

"Oh hi Sheldon." she said.

"Hello."

"Penny is in there making out with some dude named Greg."

"Oh. Well I wanted know if you would come see a movie with me."

"Really?"

"Yes. Why are you surprised?"

"Because I thought you didn't like me."

"Well I do like you. As a friend."

"Ok. Then let me get my purse." Laila opened the door just a crack and stuck her hand into the room. She grabbed her purse then shut the door. She followed Sheldon to the parking lot.

"Your going to have to drive." Sheldon said.

"No problem. Why you don't have your car?"

"No, I'm too evolved for driving."

Laila giggled. Sheldon always made her laugh when he didn't even try. She unlocked the doors and they both got in. Laila started driving to the theater.

"So why did you ask me?"

"Ask you what?"

"Ask me to the movies."

"Because Leonard didn't want to go, Howard is with Bernadette, and Raj I don't know what Raj is doing. So you were the only person that was left."

"Well I'm glad. What are we going to see?"

"Well there's not many movies out that intrigue me. From what I have noticed you might have good taste."

"Green Lantern is out."

"Yes but I thought you already saw it."

"I did. I wouldn't mind seeing it a 3rd time."

"It would be my 4th."

When they got to the theater Laila parked. They walked in and while Laila got the tickets and Sheldon was waiting at the concession stand. Laila walked over to him.

"What are you getting Sheldork?"

"I told you not to call me that, and how did you know I was getting something?"

"Fine. You are standing here looking at the menu and I knew you were going to get at least popcorn. I mean no popcorn at a movie? Who would do that?"

"Well I am getting popcorn, red vines, and a Icee." Sheldon told Laila and the clerk.

"Ill have popcorn, M&Ms and a Diet ." Laila told the clerk. They got there snacks and went to see the movie. After the movie was done they threw out there things and each went to the bathroom. When they where done they walked back to the car.

"Do you want to go to the comic book store?" Sheldon asked.

"Sure." Laila replied. Then she drove to the comic book store. She wondered why he wanted to do things with her. While Sheldon felt something for her but he didn't know what it is. He now knew that he liked her as a friend and could call her that but something he didn't know was why he is able to chit-chat with her. Why did he want to spend time with her? What was he feeling? Sheldon needed answers. They reached the comic book shop and walked in. They looked around and Laila was about to take a look at a comic book and reached for it while Sheldon reached for it at the same time. There hands touched and then there eyes met. Laila put it down and walked away to look at another comic book leaving Sheldon standing there alone.

"Why did she respond so oddly?" Sheldon thought

"I touched him. I touched his hand. Do I like him? Why do I have to fall for the asexual guy? It might be worse than falling for a gay guy." Laila thought.

They walked around looking and then checked out. Then they drove back in silence. Laila went back home where Penny was not there. Sheldon went back home and told Leonard what happened.

"Laila and I went to the comic book shop and when we both reached for the same book our hands touched."

"Yea and?"

"Well then she ran away and we drove back in silence."

"Ok. And?"

"What does this mean?"

"It means she likes you Sheldon."

"Why would Laila acting weird because our hands touched tell you she likes me."

"As much as you say you know everything you know nothing about relationships. She ran away because she was embarrassed. She was embarrassed because she likes you."

"Oh. Well what should I do."

"I don't know that's your problem." Leonard said. Those were the last words Leonard said before he left to go on a date. Sheldon sat in his spot and thought. He didn't want to live across the hall from someone who wouldn't talk to him. Especially since he wanted to be her friend. There's not many people that Sheldon could talk to and not get annoyed. What was really crazy was that Sheldon knew she was someone that he could talk to from the start.

A/N: So please review. I hope you liked Chapter 2. I feel like this chapter is kind of long. What do you prefer long chapters that take longer to come out? Or lots of short chapters? Tell me what you think about that and what you thought of this chapter.
