Chapter 21

Nothing really here, just hoping tbbt is better next season(yeah I know, funny right), I'll wait to see if I want to watch it or not, if same will just read the reports.

Unbetaed as usual.

(A few weeks later)

"Beep Beep Beep"

Amy wakes up and begins to stir as not to disturb her fellow bed mates.

"Ugh." Amy wakes up by her alarm going off. Oh that was only a dream. It felt so real. I wish Bestie was open to that, but by knowing her she prefers men. I wonder if I can entice her into a experiment of that ? I have this great lover in Kurt and I think of my bestie at night after I go to sleep. I wonder if I talk to bestie again she'd be open to it? I know she said no the first time but that was with Kurt, maybe if I convinced her to let me experiment with her she'd be up for it, maybe I should ask after she's had a few drinks in her. But I don't want her to wake up with no recollection of it and regret and hate me afterwards. But alcohol lowers inhibitions not changes a persons sexual preference, so maybe there's a possibility. She gets up to head to work not to disturb Kurt or their fellow female bedmate from last night.

For the last few weeks after the experiment with Alicia she suggested to him if he was going to bring home another female to have, they were usually young and blonde and very pretty, as they all resembled her bestie. Hmm maybe I do have feelings past friendship for her she ponders. I'll have to think more about this at work, I'll have to hurry if I want to be there on time.

Knock knock

Penny hears the knock knowing it's not Sheldon 's as she opens it sees Bernadette.

"Hey Bernadette. Come in." As Penny sidesteps to let her in.

"So want anything?"

"Just water please."

"So how are you?" Penny says handing Bernadette the water and placing hers on the table.

"Good. But I came to see about what happened with you and the sexy doctor in Texas and why you're not together yet. So spill girl."

"Well I'm glad it's just the two of us, not sure how Amy would feel."

"Yeah I'm not sure either, now spill."

"Okay okay. Well first I had a good time. I learned things about Sheldon and his childhood, I knew him and his father didn't get along and he didn't have a good one, I just didn't realize how bad. He didn't hit him or anything if that's what you're asking, just didn't want him around."

"How awful. "

"I'm not sure I should be telling you any of this."

"I promise I won't say a word. Sheldon won't find out."

"Okay. Well he opened up to me, about his childhood and what it was like. He took me to this tree in Memaw's backyard where he would go if things got too bad for him. Then his sister, mother and Memaw told me they want us to be together and they're on my side, but how scared he is and what not."

"Well that's good. S why didn't you say anything or tell him?"

"The time just wasn't right. I mean he did tell me he I'm his best friend."

"That's big for him. What you said about his father makes sense, kind of like Howie I've hardly heard either speak of their fathers if at all regarding Sheldon."

"Yeah it does."

"Say what are you waiting for with him?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean are you waiting for him to tell you he loves you? Has romantic feelings for you? A sign that says he's interested in you like that?"

"Well the first two are good. I expect number three, just a sign or hint that he's interested in me like that, where I'm not just his annoying neighbor."

"Girl he hasn't thought of you like that in some time."

"I know I'm not expecting him to admit his feelings and kiss me passionately, just tell or show me his feelings for me has changed."

"Give it time. I have doubt he does and it'll be worth it waiting for him."

"I know."

As the rest of the visit was filled with Penny catching up with everything until Bernadette had to head out.

Sheldon's computer rings signaling his Skype account and sees Missy's face.

"Hello Missy." He says answering it.

"So how's my favorite brother and twin?"

"Do you mean how's my favorite brother or your favorite brother who's also your twin or asking how's your favorite twin? Because Missy seeing how only two of us came out of our mothers womb, I'm not sure how I can be your favorite twin when there was only two of us, that's like me referring to you as my favorite sister when in fact I only have one, so which is it."

"Oh good heavens Shelly. Gees. But if you want a answer my favorite brother who's also my twin."

"Why didn't you just say so?" Missy just puts her head in her hands. Penny must have something in her head loose, I could not put up with this.

"How are ya' Shelly?"

"I fine. I'm not currently sick, if I were I doubt I'd be talking to you as you can't get me soup to make me feel better, but you could sing me soft kitty if I were, now it's nowhere as pleasant as Penny's , even if you have a nice signing voice. I'm also pleased with my career so far despite no Nobel. "

"Shelly why can't you say I'm fine and for the record I'm not signing you soft kitty, I did that once and that was because Momma and Meemaw weren't there and I had to get you to promise to help me with my homework if I did it." I'm convinced Penny does have a few loose.

"But I did say I was fine. I didn't help like you said I did it for you."

"Yeah and I got an A, what's the point if having a brother that knows everything if you can't have him help you with your homework? Anyways I'm calling to see the progress of get shenny to admit their feelings or Get Shelly To Win Penny's Heart."

"Shenny? Really Missy? I, no we do not need some childish combination of our names."

"You said we?"

"Drat."

"Alright so how's progress?"

"The same spot as when I left."

"What the heck Shelly do I have to do everything for ya'? Huh?"

"Missy this is foreign territory for me."

"Alright. So have you done anything with her or to impress her?"

"Well I let her pick the movie once a week when I go over to watch a movie and I commented on how nice her hair smells as you said paid her a compliment."

"Okay that's a start but Shelly take her out on a date or something or do something to impress her or a hint that you actually like her."

"I suppose I could do that Star Trek is coming out this week."

"Shelly no Star Trek or other Sci Fi."

"Missy it's not just Star Trek it's Star Trek Into Darkness."

"I don't care what kind of Star Trek it is, I still don't think it's appropriate."

"Yet me taking her to some chick flick is?"

"Yes."

"That's where we differ. Besides she seems to enjoy that stuff, more than she lets on."

"Fine take her to see the Star Trek movie."

"I will."

"Anything else?"

"Yes. Try to push your boundaries a little, I know you don't like touching and what not, but try to hold her hand a little or some kind of touching and maybe some flirting before you go out on a date, you can take her to the movie but make sure it's as friends first."

"Okay. I can try. Will she assume this is a date?"

"I don't know. It might depend on you ask her. Make sure she knows you're interested but it's not a date."

"Well you have assured me she returns the same feelings I do, should I let on?"

"That's up to you. You could use this as a test or something. But before you go on anymore after this you two have to admit your feelings."

"One last thing apparently it goes against some code for another friend to date another's ex, apparently I'd be breaking a code with Leonard if I dated Penny."

"Shelly, he's broken a bunch of guy codes and never asked so I say go date her, if he doesn't like it tough and if I have to I'll deal with him if I have to."

"Very well. Thank you for your input Missy, we'll speak soon."

"Bye Shelly."

"Bye Missy." As he closes his laptop.

"Hmm. I should do some research about this."

"Penny"

"Hey Sheldon what's up?"

"Penny would you be up for seeing the new Star Trek movie?"

"I'd love to."

"I shall See you then." As he heads off.

"Will the guys be joining us?"

"I doubt seeing as I haven't asked them." As he heads back to his apartment.

Did Sheldon ask me out? Penny thinks.

"Penny"

Knock Knock Knock

"Penny"

Knock Knock Knock

"Penny"

"Hey Sheldon or should I call you Spock?"

"Penny or should I say Uhura. Nicely done."

"Well seeing as we were going to watch it I figured you probably be dressing up so I decided to go as Uhura."

"Well you'd make a very good Uhura if she was white or blonde versus black."

"Thank you. But Zooey Salanda makes a very good one. Besides this is close as I'll get to anything like that."

"Well seeing as how I rarely hear of you going to any auditions anymore, that maybe true."

"I just get tired if being rejected, like the director can really tell if I'd be good or not for the part by reading a couple lines."

"Well with that attitude then you're probably right, but seeing how you hate the Cheesecake Factory the very least is find a appropriate job you'd like to do."

"I don't have a degree even if I'm going back."

"Well if you do decide to not pursue being a actress and are unsure about going back to school, I'm sure we can come up with something that doesn't require a degree."

"I guess." She says.

"Know we can discuss this later or I won't be available to find the right seat for my viewing pleasure."

"Okay let's go."

As Sheldon and Penny are heading back outside to her car they're discussing the movie. Or more like Penny listening to Sheldon go on about it.

"Penny just because they put Spock/Uhura scenes as a couple doesn't mean they should've done it and was necessary versus cheapen it and making it like one of those movies you make me watch."

"You just don't want to admit that Spock loved Uhura regardless of what his character was like, besides I think they make a cute couple."

"Penny please."

"It's not like they put them together like having Dr. Carol strip just for kicks. Besides I saw you tear up a little when you thought Kirk was dead."

"Penny please that was the combination of the particles floating in the air and the salt of the popcorn."

"It's okay, I saw a human side of you and don't want to admit it I get it, I won't tell the others, your secret is safe from me." As she heads off to the car leaving Sheldon dumbfounded before he picked up the pace.

"Thank you for coming Penny." He says getting into the car.

"You're welcome sweetie I enjoyed it."

"I have noticed you like these types of things more than you lead on."

"I suppose I like some of it, doesn't mean I'm going to turn into some super nerd girl."

"Penny there's nothing wrong with that."

" I didn't say it was, I'm just not going to be turning into one that likes everything you guys do."

"I see. I do appreciate no matter how nerdy we may seem you've never judged, except that one time, but you were just upset then."

"Well the reason is I could tell right off the bat the type of guys you were."

"Really?"

"Of course. It doesn't take a genius to figure you guys out, let's get home before it gets late."

"Yes I do need a proper REM Cycle."

Xxxxx

"Thank you again for coming Penny."

"You welcome." As the made the wade to her door.

"So why didn't you ask the guys?"

"I wanted to appreciate with a new viewer and teach you about Spock."

"Let me guess the guys aren't Spock fans and more like Kirk seeing as he gets all the girls."

"Precisely, which is why they will never fully appreciate the genius that is Star Trek or Spock."

"I guess not. Well then thank you for teaching me."

"You're welcome Penny. Are we still on for tomorrow night and movie night."

"Of course. "

"I'll let you pick this time."

"Are you sure Sheldon?"

"Yes."

"Well good night." He says before giving her a quick hug goodnight.

"Oh." She says.

"Well night." She says.

"Have a pleasant REM cycle."

Once back into the apartment okay me hugging her wasn't that bad right. I pushed my boundaries like Missy said and don't appear to have caught anything.

Back outside the hall.

"Did Sheldon just hug me?"

"If I didn't know any better I had just gone a date with Sheldon, but he didn't act like we were, but he might not know how to act on one." She says going into her apartment.

Knock knock

"Hi. I'm glad you came, I was hoping you would but wasn't sure you would." Kiana (dressed in a black tank and jeans skirt with sneakers) says greeting Missy who is dressed in a Tim Duncan jersey, khaki shorts and black nikes.

"Well I'd never miss a opportunity to see my Spurs play."

"Well I'm glad either way and hope we can be friends."

"We'll see." Missy says.

"So is it Missy or Melissa?"

"Most call me Missy, so Missy is fine."

"Okay. It's just I heard Bryan call you Melissa so wasn't sure."

"Yeah him and Memaw call me that, not sure why he does, he'll call me Missy every now and then."

"Oh okay. I just want to apologize for getting off to the wrong foot with us."

"I was interested in Bryan from the start because I thought he was available, my attraction for him is still there, I tried to date other guys but weren't that interesting or weren't into them that much, I even slept with a couple. But you have nothing to worry about as far as me being the other woman, I'm not that kind of woman, i mean if he's engaged and we hooked up, when would he cheat on me? Yes I'll flirt with him because that's who I am , I flirts with other guys, heck I'll flirt with you."

"Well i'm flattered but too straight to do anything, even if you look like you do."

"See just because I flirt with you doesn't mean anything like that, I have a friendly flirty personality, if I'm really interested in the person they'll know it as I'd kick up a little, but if I was a leisban i'd definitely be interested in you but I'm not, so outside of us getting so drunk where we don't realize what we're doing and don't remember what happened all I want is a friendship, so I'm extending a olive branch to you. "

"Okay I understand and accept, I mean if I liked a guy and he seemed interested and out of the blue I find out he's engaged I'm not sure how I'd feel either, I understand it'll take you time to turn it off."

"Thanks, sure I thought about finding a guy since learning of you, but thought it'd be giving up even if you two are engaged."

"I'd be over him if he hadn't told me how you almost broke up with him when you came back from visiting your brother and that gives me hope. If you two get married I'll move on but I won't do anything as long as the two of you are a couple. I'll basically kind of standing from the sideline and hoping you two break up, I know it might sound like I'm a bad person or something but I can't help it."

He told her I almost broke up with him. What else has he told her? Missy thought.

"Well I'm glad you're honest even if you want Bryan, if you mean what you say then we can at least try to be friends, if you really want to get over him I have some single very good looking friends I could introduce you to."

"I guess it won't hurt."

"Good. Well we better be going if we want to get there on time."

"Wow how'd you get these seats." Missy asks referring to the court side seats.

"Oh a client gave them to me."

"Is that legal?"

"Yeah."

"Oh."

A few minutes later the game started.

(A little while later, during a timeout)

"Did I ever tell you I was a Laker girl?" Bringing up the topic while the Silver Spurs were dancing during a timeout.

"No I didn't know that. I bet that was fun."

"Yeah it was, especially since they won back to back titles the two years I was on the squad. I joined after college, Of course I was a part time model as well."

"Any company I know of?"

"Frederick's of Hollywood."

"Oh. That's interesting." Oh great like she's not hot enough, I sure hope Bryan doesn't know this, then I'll definitely be having doubts, with him picturing like that.

"Yeah it was after college, I was a swimmer at USC and I started doing that after my career was over after I failed to make the Olympics when I didn't place high enough at the US trails."

"You almost were a Olympic athlete?"

"Yeah. I had to place in the top two, but I finished third and the girl just barely beat me to the wall."

"Well that must have sucked." God I don't if I should be amazed or hate her for doing all these things.

"So what brought you to Texas?"

"Well at first my college roommate is from Texas and I decided to move here but not long after she got engaged and moved to dallas which is where most of his family is from and i didn't have hardly any friends and then I saw the ad for Bryan's company and since I didn't really like the job I was at, I applied there."

"Well that's good to hear, that must have been a change for you."

"It was. It was a risk and I'm glad I took it moving here."

A risk worth taking. Missy thought to herself.

A few hours later after the Spurs defeated the Memphis Grizzlies in an exciting game in Overtime of Game two of the Western Conference Finals giving them a 2-0 advantage, the girls headed out and back home.

(Back at Kiana's apartment)

"I just want to say thank you for inviting me and I accept to us being friends, but if you're playing me to get closer to Bryan and have me let my guard down or if you're already sleeping with Bryan, I'm going to warn you I'll give you a Texas size butt kicking. "

"You have nothing to worry about and i believe you as I'm kind of scared of you after seeing what you did to the hot dog."

"Huh?"

"It's just the way you were eating it and kind of making noises. You weren't loud, I probably was the only one that heard, since it was loud in there. But you should've seen the guys a few seats over watching you eat, they were checking us out before you went to town on it. "

"Hmm I didn't notice."

"Well they did, when you went to the bathroom, they came over to see if we were available,so if you ever become available they gave me their numbers."

"Was I that obivious?"

"Just a little."

"Oh gGd. " Missy says.

"Bryan must be very lucky if you do that to a hot dog in public. "

"Well he's never complained."

"Yeah I'll bet he hasn't." Kiana says.

"I should be going its getting late."

"Okay. Well thanks for coming and I'm glad you and I can be friends."

"Thanks for inviting me. I'll call you when we can do something again."

"Okay. That sounds good."

"Well bye." Missy says.

"Bye." Kiana calls back.

Well that went way better than expected, I wasn't sure she'd want to be friends. Kiana says as she then heads off to bed.

Xxx

As she gets home she realizes Bryan is already a sleep, it is a little late she thinks, she goes to the bathroom to change into a A&M shirt and just her panties, she decides to head to the kitchen to think.

"I hadn't thought how alike her and Bryan are."

"It sounds like they talk a lot." She says out loud.

"What if Kiana is right. obviously they hang out, what if they're a better match and I'm the reason keeping them apart?"

"I wonder if I should end it and move to California with Shelly like I was going to do. I mean i still love him, but would we still be together if Kiana hadn't come along and me getting all territorial? Bryan may or not be flirting with Kiana much less interested in her. Despite of what he says, plus doesn't appear to like Shelly all that much which is a con for us." She says and decides to write a pro and con list like Penny suggested.
