Amy fell asleep on the way to her apartment, her head against the window. Neither had said much on the way down the stairs. Leonard wasn't exactly sure how much of Sheldon's little outburst that she had heard. Amy wasn't sure how to address the little she caught. If anything, she needed to have a long discussion with Sheldon about it. It bothered her that now he was so concerned about it.
Stopping at Dunkin Donuts on the way, he ordered her a black coffee, unsure how she preferred it. He could fix it at her apartment. He'd glance at her when they were stopped at the lights, wondering what went on in her head to ask him to sleep with her in front of everyone. Her drinking was probably to blame. That, and drinking with Penny.
Penny wasn't exactly discreet about things like sex.
Once they pulled into a parking space, he gently shook her shoulder. "Amy, we're at your apartment." He said, picking up her coffee. As he slid out of his car, he chuckled as she sat up. Her hair had moved slightly, looking disheveled on one side.
"I must have fallen asleep, I'm sorry." She said, getting out as she let out a small yawn.
Leonard smiled and shook his head. "It's nor problem. I know what drinking with Penny is like." He admitted, thinking of the time she ended up throwing up in the sink while he did the same in the toilet. "So, how much of Sheldon's outburst did you hear?" He asked, holding the door open for her to the building.
"From the part where he started talking about the constants in his life." She told him simply. "He doesn't take change well, you know that. He'll come around. It was my fault he got upset. I shouldn't have brought up coitus in front of him."
"Yeah, he's a stickler for routine." He sighed. Living with someone who hated change could be difficult at times. Although, knowing what you were having for dinner on any given day was kinda nice.
They walked up the stairs in an awkward silence. Leonard wanted to ask about the sex, as did Amy. Neither knew how to bring it up. Just blurt it out? Or ease into it.
"Well, here's my apartment." Amy said, unlocking her door and letting him in. "Would you prefer the couch or a trundle bed?" She asked. Shutting the door and locking it, she removed her purse and set it aside.
"I'll take the couch for tonight. I'd prefer we not take the step to sex when you're drunk. I'd feel bad." He admitted, handing her the coffee.
Amy nodded as she took the coffee and moved towards the kitchen. "Understandable, however, it is something I want to do, Leonard." She admitted. Removing the lid off the cup, she added some sugar and milk. Moving back to the living room, she sat next to him on the couch and sipped her coffee.
"How about we talk about it again when you haven't been drinking with Penny. Or drinking at all, I should say." He was mentally kicking himself. He hadn't gotten laid since him and Penny broke up, and did want to sleep with Amy.
Setting her coffee on the table, she shifted to face him. "Is your objection the face that I'm a virgin, and you're worried that in the morning when I'm sober I'll regret it?"
"Well, yeah." He admitted, wringing his hands together.
Deciding not to push the issue further, Amy returned to drinking her coffee. "Do you work in the morning?" She asked, wondering if he would have to leave early.
Leonard shook his head. "Nope. I'm all yours for breakfast if you like." He grinned, hoping that would perk up her mood.
