Just over an hour later, Sheldon arrives home at his apartment. As he opens the door, he is greeted by Leonard, "Hey buddy!"
"Hello, Leonard," Sheldon greeted back.
"How are you?," Leonard asked.
"I'm fine, thanks, and yourself?," Sheldon replied as he closed the door behind him and headed for his spot on the couch. Leonard sat in the chair to his left.
"I'm fine too, thanks. So, how did the talk with Amy go last night? I assume well since you didn't come home until now?," Leonard asked.
"Yes, Leonard. It did go well. I apologized to Amy for leaving on a train without telling her. I explained to her just how important she truly is to me and how I've changed a lot for the better because of her. She accepted my apology and we're fine now," Sheldon replied.
"That's great, Sheldon...and this talk with your girlfriend requires you to spend the night at her place because...?" Leonard asked his friend with a smirk.
It's show time.
"Leonard, please...you know I've spent the night over at Amy's before last night," Sheldon answered.
"Yes you have but never after telling me you're ready to have sex with her so spill!," Leonard smiled at his friend.
"There's nothing to spill, Leonard. We spent most of the evening talking, watching movies and...we did some kissing as well." Sheldon said getting up from the couch to go make himself some tea, "Would you like some tea, Leonard?"
"No thank you, Sheldon...kissing, huh? are you surrre that's all that happened between you two?," Leonard had a feeling he wasn't getting the whole story and was determined to find out the truth.
Just then, Penny opens the door into their apartment, "Hey, Leonard, is Sheldon ho-...Oh, hi Sheldon!," She didn't see him in the kitchen at first.
"Hi, Penny," Sheldon greeted her back, "Would you like some tea?"
"No, thanks, Sheldon," Penny replied as she sat down on the couch.
Leonard whispers to Penny, "So did Amy text you back about the whole sex thing? What did she say?"
Penny replied, "She texted me back and said they didn't have sex. I called her and spoke with her to try to get something out of her but she stuck with her story. Something was different about the way she spoke though...I don't believe her. I think they did it."
"I'm getting that vibe as well," Leonard replied.
"Leonard, look!," Penny pointed to the floor just in front of Sheldon's spot on the couch. It was an empty condom wrapper.
"We got 'em now," Leonard whispered to Penny while rubbing the palms of his hands together.
Penny, who has no shame, picks the condom wrapper up off the floor and walks into the kitchen where Sheldon was still preparing his tea, holds it up in his face with a smile, "We just found this on the floor in front of your spot on the couch. You forget to throw away the evidence of your sexual activity with Amy last night?"
Hmmm. Happy accident.
"Penny, pleasssee. You and Leonard engage in coitus just about every where. Prove to me that this isn't Leonards," Sheldon shot back.
"Oh, come onnnn! We found that in front of your spot! Like it fell out of your bag or pocket or something!," Leonard shouted from the couch in disbelief that his friend was in denial.
"Maybe it fell out of YOUR bag or pocket or something, Leonard," Sheldon said, trying to annoy his friend.
"Let's just give it a rest, Leonard. Clearly he's going to deny it no matter what," Penny told Leonard.
"There's nothing to deny, Penny. Honestly, I don't know what's gotten into you two," Sheldon said.
"Sheldon, you told me you're ready to have sex with Amy," Leonard replied.
"That doesn't mean we did it last night, Leonard. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be in my bedroom. We're still on for dinner tonight?," Sheldon asked.
"Yeah," Leonard and Penny smiled.
Sheldon took his tea with him and headed towards his bedroom.
"You know, Penny? As his best friend, it kinda hurts that he's not willing to share important events of his life with me," Leonard said.
"I understand, honey. We already know that he's shy about that kind of stuff. Don't worry, he'll come around," Penny replied as she rubbed Leonard's arm.
"I hope so. It's kinda hard to be happy for your buddy when he's denying it happened at all," Leonard replied.
Sheldon sat in his bed enjoying his tea when he decided to Skype Amy to tell her what had gone down between he, his roommate and Penny.
*Amy picks up on the other end*
"Hello, Sheldon. What's up?," She smiled into the screen.
"What's up is I just nailed a theatrical performance in the living room and drove Leonard and Penny mad in frustration with me," Sheldon giggled.
"Hahaha! Excellent! I lied to Penny and told her nothing happened between us when she called me earlier too. This is too funny," Amy replied.
"Amy, some how, I allowed an empty condom wrapper to escape and they found it right in front of my spot on the couch on the floor!," Sheldon told her.
"NO WAY! Hahaha, that's just perfect. What did you say to them to get out of it?," Amy asked him.
"I argued that it just as well could have been Leonard's condom wrapper since they have sex every where anyway," Sheldon answered. Amy laughed out loud at her boyfriend. "I think I'd like to take our little game up a notch this evening, Amy."
"Oh? How so?," Amy asked.
"I think when we're all at Johnny Rockets this evening, at some point, you and I need to get up and leave the table together and head towards the restroom. I can only assume one of them will follow us to find out what we're up to..." Sheldon started.
"Yes?," Amy was intrigued.
"...and that's when we can have our fake conversation about how we have been purposely dropping hints that we engaged in coitus last night even though we didn't engage in coitus," Sheldon finished.
"To stir the pot of confusion even more? I love it, Sheldon," Amy added.
"Let's also have moments where it looks like we can't stop staring at each other or touching each other throughout the night," Amy suggested.
"That won't be difficult to act out at all," Sheldon replied.
"No, it won't," Amy winked into the camera. Sheldon smiled at her.
"Great. So, I believe we're all meeting here around 6 before we all car pool over to the resturaunt. See you then?," Sheldon asked.
"I'll be there. I love you," Amy replied.
"I love you too, Amy," Sheldon said.
It was almost 6 p.m. and everyone was beginning to arrive at Sheldon and Leonard's apartment.
Leonard, Sheldon and Penny were sitting in the living room chatting when there was a knock on the door. Sheldon got up to open it, knowing that it was Amy, "Hi, Amy," Sheldon gave her a kiss on the lips. As he was about to pull away from her, she grabbed his face and extended the kiss for a dramatic effect. Sheldon gave Amy a wink after they pulled apart. Amy gave him a wink back before closing the door behind her.
Leonard and Penny both look at each other with knowing looks before greeting Amy.
"Hey, Amy," Leonard said.
"Hey Ames," Penny said.
"Hey, guys. I'm so glad we all get to hang out tonight," Amy said while sitting in her usual spot next to Sheldon's spot on the couch.
"Yeah, us too," Penny smiled.
"Amy, would you like anything to drink while I'm up?," Sheldon asked her.
"No thanks, Sheldon. Saving my stomach space for resturaunt food and drinks," Amy responded.
Sheldon nodded and came to sit next to her on the couch and grabbed her hand.
"Gee, you two seem to have gotten closer over night. Amy, are YOU going to tell me the real truth about you and Sheldon having sex or what?," Penny asked with a smirk.
"I believe I already did tell you when you asked me this morning by phone, remember? What, you don't believe me?," Amy asked.
"Nope," Penny replied.
Amy and Sheldon both start giggling.
"What the hell is so funny?," Leonard asked them.
"You two and your annoying sex questions is what's so funny," Sheldon replied.
Just then, there's a knock on the door and Raj lets himself inside. He is followed by Emily, Howard and Benadette, "We're herrrrre!," Raj announces in a sing-song manner.
"We also heard that Shamy had sex," Howard spit out.
"Howard!," Bernadette smacks him on the arm, "Really? that's the first thing that comes out of your mouth? Hey, everyone!," She greets the other four as they walk in.
"Hello, everyone!," Emily says as she grabs Raj's hand.
"Hey, guys!," Leonard gets up from his chair, "So, we're taking two cars, yes?"
Everyone nods and responds in agreement.
"Amy and I will ride with Howard and Bernadette so we don't keep getting probed with questions from Leonard and Penny about something that didn't happen," Sheldon said while glancing at the two of them.
"You mean like you probed Amy with your-"
"Howard!," Bernadette didn't let him complete that sentence knowing what he was about to say, "This is Sheldon and Amy we're talking about. If they say they didn't have sex then they probably didn't."
Amy wanted to tell Bernadette off right in that moment but when Sheldon knowingly placed his hand on her lower back and rubbed it, she calmed down. Amy whispers to Sheldon, "I can't wait...I just can't wait until she finds out."
Sheldon leans down to give Amy a kiss on the lips before whispering back, "Don't worry. Everything that our friends have done to offend us will definitely get discussed when the time is right. We're gonna lay it all out for them and they're going to apologize for making us feel less than at times just because we didn't engage in coitus."
"Okay," Amy smiled at her boyfriend as the group exited the apartment.
About an hour after the group of friends arrived at Johnny Rocket's, everyone is chatting, laughing and just having a good time in each others company. Sheldon's right arm is draped over Amy's shoulder and her left hand is resting on his thigh. She gives it squeeze which makes Sheldon jump a little and everyone else looks at the couple.
"Hey! I told you, that tickles," Sheldon said with a giggle.
"Why are your thighs so ticklish?," Amy asked with a smile.
"I don't know, they just are...," Sheldon replied, "...why are your...nevermind, I better not say that here," Sheldon laughed before remembering all eyes were on them. He took advantage of the moment and gave Amy a quick peck on the lips.
"Get a room!," Raj joked with the couple he had been observing from across the table, "Seriously though, did you guys have sex like everyone is saying? It's okay if you did. You both waited so long and saved yourselves for each other and that is very romantic."
Howard rolled his eyes at his mushy best friend.
Sheldon replied, "Yes, we did."
Everyone gasped loudly, looking around at each other.
Amy replied, "No, we didn't."
"So, which is it, then?," Penny asked.
"No, we didn't," Sheldon replied.
"Yes, we did," Amy said.
Sheldon and Amy started laughing out loud, as they were enjoying this game that only they knew about. Their friends all stared at them in confusion.
"You two are impossible," Leonard said in annoyance.
"I believe you mean, improbable, Leonard." Sheldon corrected.
Leonard gave his best friend a death glare before returning his focus to the last bites of his meal.
"Soooo...," Bernadette chimed in, trying to change the subject so a fight wouldn't erupt at the table, "Did everyone enjoy their food?"
"Yes, it was great!" Amy answered.
Everyone else nodded and responded in agreement.
"I just wanted to thank you all for welcoming me into the group with open arms. It's great to be around such fun, good-hearted people. Friends like yourselves are hard to come by these days. Cheers to you all," Emily said while raising her glass. Raj gave her a kiss before raising up his glass with the others.
"Hear, hear!," Sheldon shouted while raising his glass of milk with a smile.
After the clinking of their glasses stopped, Penny said, "Who's ready for dessert?"
Everyone cheered in agreement and started looking at their dessert menus so that they could make their selections and order.
Amy turned to Sheldon and whispered, "You're on, kid."
Sheldon winked at his girlfriend, remembering an earlier plan they made to suddenly get up and leave the table together. He stands up and announces, "Please excuse us, everyone. Amy and I will be back shortly,"
"...after our quickie in the restroom," Howard mocks. The rest of the group laughs at his joke.
"Very funny, Howard," Amy said as she and Sheldon walked away hand in hand.
Everyone's eye's couldn't help but follow them as they walked away.
"They ARE headed for the restroom, someone go follow them!," Penny said excitedly.
"Really, Penny? You think they would both sneak into the men's or women's restroom to fool around?," Bernadette asked her.
"Hey, you never know. As you guys saw for yourselves, they're acting strangely secretive and weird. Weird for THEM anyway," Penny replied.
Bernadette smiled and rolled her eyes at her friend.
"We'll follow them and see what's up. Come on, Howard," Raj said looking at Howard.
"Really? why me?," Howard asked.
"You keep making the Shamy sex jokes. You know you want to know the truth too," Raj replied.
"Fine," Howard said with a sigh as he got up with his friend to find out what Sheldon and Amy were up to.
Howard and Raj see Sheldon and Amy heading towards a hallway that leads to the men's and women's restrooms. They decide that it's a good idea to place themselves just outside the entrance of the hallway and to the side so that they can't be seen by the couple.
"Yeah, Howard and Raj totally don't know that I just saw them hide around the corner, " Amy whispered to Sheldon with a giggle.
"Worked like a charm," Sheldon replied with a smile, "Let's do this."
Amy goes into action, "SHELDON, OUR PLAN IS WORKING LIKE A CHARM."
"IT IS, INDEED, AMY! THEY ACTUALLY THINK WE REALLY ENGAGED IN COITUS. WE'RE GETTIN' THEM GOOD," Sheldon added.
At this moment, Howard has his head peeking around the corner listening in and he's blown away by what he's hearing and tells Raj, "It's looking like they didn't have sex after all. They're talking about how they're basically punking everyone by dropping fake hints."
"What?" Raj was shocked, "...but what about the condom wrapper Penny and Leonard said they found in front of Sheldon's spot on the couch after he got up from it?" Raj then takes a turn to peek around the corner and listen in. Only there's nothing to listen to but the sound of Sheldon and Amy making out with each other. He turns to Howard and says, "Now, they're shoving their tongues down each others throats. I'm still not 100% convinced."
"I don't know what else to tell you. For all we know, this could be part of their stunt to trick us as well. Let's go back to the table now," Howard said.
"Fine," Raj said, "I'm kind of over seeing them make out anyway."
Howard takes a peek at them, nods in agreement and they walk back to join the others at their table.
Sheldon has his arms wrapped around Amy's waist. His hands are resting on the small of her back. Amy's hands are holding his arms as he kisses her. Their eyes are closed and they're lost in their own little world, almost forgetting where they were and why they were there in the first place. Sheldon moves his kisses from her lips to her neck. Amy turns her head to the side to welcome his neck kisses. Suddenly, Sheldon releases one of his hands from her lower back and brings it around to reach for one of her breasts. Amy breaks away, "Sheldon, not here!,"
Sheldon awakens from the trance he was in and gives her a shy laugh, "Oh, sorry, Amy. You see what you do to me?," He winks at her.
Amy laughs with him and says, "It's okay. We can save that for later," Amy winked back at him and kissed him on the lips, "Let's go order some dessert."
"Alright," Sheldon responded before they walked to their table to join the others.
Howard and Raj returned to the table.
"So what'd you guys find out?," Penny asked anxiously.
"We heard Sheldon and Amy talking about how they were punking us into believing that they had sex when they didn't," Howard answered.
"WHAT?!," everyone exclaimed at the same time.
"Those sneaky little devils," Penny said.
"Yeah, but seconds later, we see them with their hands all over each other in a steamy make out session. How do we know THAT wasn't a lie?," Raj asked.
"True. I mean, they did punk us all before and said they had sex when they didn't. Maybe this time they're saying they didn't have sex but they did?," Leonard said.
"Oh, I'm so confused," Raj said while shaking his head.
"Guys, let's just drop it and enjoy our dessert...well, after it arrives," Bernadette said.
"Yeah, okay," Penny agreed.
Just then, Sheldon and Amy return and sit down in their seats.
"We're back and we're ready for dessert," Amy said.
"Are you sure you guys didn't already have your dessert?," Howard said with a smirk.
Everyone exchanged glances and giggles and Sheldon and Amy roll their eyes.
Just then, the waiter arrives and starts taking everyone's dessert orders one by one. Amy looks at the menu and makes her selection, "I'm gonna have a hot fudge sudae, please. Sheldon?"
"I'll have the same, that sounds good. Thank you," Sheldon replies.
The waiter nods at everyone with a smile, "Thank you all. I'll return with your desserts shortly. Enjoy the rest of your evening."
Another hour had gone by and everyone was finishing up their desserts. Everyone is happy and satisfied from the food they consumed and is engaging in random chitter-chatter.
Amy places a hand on Sheldon's thigh and moves it to his crotch and rubs it. Sheldon's eyes go big and he turns his head to look at her.
"What? I never said we couldn't touch each other innapropriately under the table," Amy said with a wink.
Sheldon smiles at her and places his hand on hers to remove it, "Little lady, that's not a good idea right now. I'll have to walk out of this resturant with something covering my groin area to keep our friends from seeing something they don't want to see."
He and Amy share a laugh before he asks everyone, "Shall we all return home now? I'm ready to go when you guys are."
"Yeah, we can play videos games, board games, whatever you guys wanna get into at our place," Leonard suggested.
"I know someONE I wanna get into," Sheldon says to Amy with a smile.
"Oh, stop it," Amy playfully slaps Sheldon on the arm.
"Actually, this is where my night ends. Once we get to your place, I have to head out to the hosptial for a late shift. Thank you all for a great time, though," Emily said smiling at everyone.
"You're welcome!," they all smiled back at her, paid the bill for their meals and left Johnny Rockets.
In the parking lot of Sheldon, Penny & Leonard's apartment building, everyone said their, "good-byes" to Emily. Raj gave her a kiss good-night after walking her to her car, "Have a good shift. Be safe," Raj told her.
"I will. Thank you. I'll call you later. Have fun tonight," Emily replied.
