A/N:
Thank you so much for keeping up with my stories. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. I know it takes me time to update, but there are a lot of things that are bothering me recently and I don't always get into the right mindset for writing, and trust me it frustrates me, so I really appreciate all of you who still reads my stories and want to read more of them. I don't take it for granted.
Chapter 35:
"I'm sorry again, that we had to take the subway, but it's actually one of the cheapest and fastest ways to get to places in New York City." Amy apologized to Sheldon when they finally were above ground again.
"I know. I just really try and avoid it because it's so crowded and the subway is not clean, but at least I got to ride on a train today." Sheldon said with half a smile.
"I promise that on the way back we'll take another form of transportation." Amy said and patted Sheldon's arm gently.
"Thank you." He said and looked at Amy lovingly.
Even though Sheldon loved trains, subways were very low on his list of trains he'd like to ride. He avoided them at all cost.
"So where are we heading?" Sheldon asked Amy when she led them to the near crosswalk and waited for the light for the pedestrians to turn green.
"Central Park." Amy said simply, with a small smile.
"I hope it's not too crowded there." Sheldon thought out loud.
"I doubt it will be too crowded on a Monday morning. Besides, there's a specific place I go in the park and it's pretty quiet there." Amy said as they started crossing the street.
"Well, you're the expert." Sheldon said with a small sigh.
"Hey. You know I wouldn't take you to a cramped place. The park is very big and there will be more than enough place for us to walk around." Amy said soothingly and Sheldon looked at her and had to admit that he knew that Amy wouldn't make him go to crowded places.
"Yeah. I know." Sheldon relented and wrapped his arm around Amy's waist and Amy wrapped her arm around Sheldon's waist in return.
"Where are we going now?" Sheldon asked when they crossed to the other side of the side walk.
"Um…" Amy looked around for a moment and then pointed to the left.
"There. There's also a small and a really good coffee shop on the way, so we can get some hot beverages to take to the park with us." Amy stroked Sheldon's back softly.
"Oh goody. I could drink a hot cup of cocoa." Sheldon's face lit up in an instant.
"Hot cocoa it is." Amy chuckled and looked at Sheldon lovingly as she led the way to the coffee shop she went to when she wanted some hot beverage when she came to New York.
Once at the coffee shop they ordered two hot cocoas to go and then Amy led the way to the park.
"So, do you come here a lot when you're in New York?" Sheldon asked Amy when they entered the park.
"Yes. I come here whenever I want to be outside, but not in a too crowded place, which is most of the times that I come here. At first, I didn't know where to look for that kind of place - outside but not too crowded in New York… it felt like an impossible mission, but after a while I decided to explore the park a little and eventually, I found the perfect place for me." Amy said as they walked in the park.
"Where is it?" Sheldon asked softly as he looked at Amy.
"You'll see." Amy said as they kept walking quietly, sipping from the hot cocoas they got earlier.
After about 15 minutes of walking quietly, Sheldon started to think they are about to go through the entire park.
"Are we getting any closer?" Sheldon asked Amy with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes." Amy said with a soft smile and took Sheldon's hand in hers and they kept walking for a few more minutes before Amy led them to a smaller trail, off the main trail of the park.
"Amy is this safe?" Sheldon asked a little concerned.
"Of course. I wouldn't take you somewhere that is not safe, let alone go to such a place alone." Amy squeezed Sheldon's hand in encouragement.
"Here it is." Amy said when they finally got to the place she came every time she was in Central Park; a relatively secluded patch of grass under a big and old oak tree. The tree gave them all the shadow they needed, even though it was a bit cloudy that morning.
Amy went to sit under the tree on the patch of grass, leaning her back against it, and Sheldon walked with here, but stayed standing, looking at Amy with eyebrows raised.
"What?" Amy asked him with a shrug.
"Really? Are we going to sit here, on the grass? That's where you sit every time?" Sheldon asked her, still standing.
"Well yeah…" Amy said hesitantly.
"But… it's dirty… dogs may have done their business here…" Sheldon kept going on.
"I'm aware of that. if it was another place in the park I'd probably sitting on a bench, but you see that there aren't many people here." Amy gestured at their surroundings and comparing to other parts in the park, that part wasn't filled with people as other parts they've seen on their way to where Amy led them.
"What about bugs and other things like that?" Sheldon tried again, looking all around him.
"I can't guarantee anything. I've had some encounters with ants, but it was all harmless…" Amy tries. She didn't want to lie to Sheldon or force him into anything, but she also wanted to share this with him.
"Umm… do you want to try and find another place?" Amy asked, trying not to sound too disappointed, but Sheldon caught the disappointment in her voice, regardless her attempts to hide it.
"Um… no… I… I'll try it…" Sheldon said as he took a deep breath.
"Are you sure? I don't mind going someplace else." Amy said as Sheldon started to bend down and settled carefully next to Amy, checking every patch of grass before he sat there.
"Yes." Sheldon said and took another deep breath and tensed up as he leaned his back against the tree.
"Okay. but we won't stay here for long. Just for a few minutes." Amy said as she leaned her head against Sheldon's shoulder, and once she laid her head on Sheldon's shoulder, they both felt how Sheldon was relaxing a little.
"Thank you." Sheldon whispered his appreciation and planted a lingering kiss on Amy's hair and Amy hummed in contentment.
After a few moments of sitting in silence under the tree in silence, Sheldon was much more relaxed and he wrapped his arm around Amy's shoulder and started stroking her arm and he gently laid his head on top of hers.
"So why do you like this spot so much?" Sheldon asked softly and planted another kiss on Amy's hair.
"Just look around…" Amy said softly and Sheldon looked around them as Amy continued.
"Everyone is always in a rush here, and practically in every big city, and in the middle of that that spot is kind of a haven. Even in the park everyone is in a rush, so this trip and this spot here, this is my time to take a break from my own busy life and just reflect on everything or just recharging." Amy said with a sigh as she looked at the people in the park walking, clearly in a hurry to get to work or busy with a phone call or doing their morning workout before work.
Sheldon looked around and saw what Amy was talking about; he saw all the people who was crossing the park not really looking at the park itself, but they were either busy with their phones or just looking at the way ahead of them, trying to get to their destinations as quickly as they could. Only few people were actually looking around at the park and the beauty of it, a beauty that only now Sheldon saw. When Amy led them through the park, Sheldon didn't look at the beauty of it. He he was looking forward to see where Amy took them and only the destination mattered to him.
Now that he took a second look around him, he realized how beautiful the park was and how much Amy was right about that specific spot; it was a haven in a way. It was in Central Park, one of the 'must visit' places while in New York City, but at the same time it was quiet enough and private enough so they could be in their own little bubble and talk and reflect about their own lives and learn more about each other, or just sit there in quiet drifting into their own thoughts.
"Yeah… I can see what you are talking about." Sheldon quietly agreed with Amy as he put his head on hers once again.
They sat under the tree for a little while; Sheldon looked at the people passing by and Amy snuggled into Sheldon a little more and closed her eyes as she moved her head from Sheldon's shoulder and laid her head on his chest gently, each of them in his own thoughts.
Once Sheldon felt the weight of Amy's head on his chest, he nuzzled his face in her hair and inhaled her scent deeply and hummed in contentment and brought even closer to him.
Sheldon felt how Amy was all tensed up and he wrapped his free hand around her waist in a tight hug and brought Amy closer to him that she almost sat in his lap.
"Come here." Sheldon whispered to Amy and she eventually ended sitting in Sheldon's lap and laid her head on his chest and inhaled Sheldon's scent deeply and Sheldon caressed her waist gently.
They sat under the tree a while longer, in their own little bobble, each in their own thoughts.
"My father wouldn't believe his eye sight if he saw me now…" Sheldon chuckled and kissed Amy's cheek softly.
"Why?" she asked and leaned into Sheldon's kiss.
"Well… I never liked to be outside more than it's necessary, meaning go to school, a certain store when I needed to and meemaw's house. With some exceptions of some fairs and kite flying I went to, but at a much older age. Let's say I never was a fan of camping or sleeping in the woods. My father tried to take me with him and my brother on a fishing trip… I didn't like it at all and it ended up raining. Add the fact that I never liked being outside so much to the fact that I never showed any interest in romantic love that sometimes people were so perplexed by my disinterest in romantic love that they always tried to figure out 'what's the deal' with me, as Penny once said… well… just add all those together and if my father would have seen me here, sitting on the grass leaning against a tree with you in my lap and us hugging… he would have been very surprised. And my mom as well." Sheldon chuckled.
"Well… they say love makes us do crazy things…" Amy chuckled back and kissed Sheldon on his nose.
"It definitely does." Sheldon smiled a soft smile at her.
"But seriously, we can go if you want." Amy said and started to get up from Sheldon and was surprised when he stopped her.
"No… it's okay. I want to stay here for a while." Sheldon said and pulled Amy gently back into his lap.
"Are you sure?" Amy asked before she settled in Sheldon's lap again.
"Positive." Sheldon said with a soft smile.
"Okay." Amy said and snuggled back into Sheldon's chest.
Sheldon and Amy ended up sitting under the tree in silence for nearly 40 minutes, thinking about how things have changed for them since they first met last December. Neither one of them thought that they will end up as friends, let alone as a couple, but here they are; sitting under a tree in Central Park, filled with love and appreciation for the other.
"We should get going." Amy said softly and sighed.
"Why?" Sheldon asked and tightened his grip on Amy's waist.
"So we can get something to eat and then go back the hotel for a little rest before we need to get going to Wyatt and Noah's place." Amy said softly and Sheldon had no choice but to agree.
"Yeah… I guess you're right." Sheldon sighed and let Amy get up.
He then got as well and they walked through the park to the bus station, as Amy promised Sheldon, and rode the bus back to the area of their hotel and found a place to eat a good meal.
Once they were done, they got back to their hotel, changed their clothes to something more comfortable and Amy prepared the items she wanted to wear for dinner and then got into bed, where Sheldon already laid with his comic book.
Amy laid next to Sheldon in silence and covered herself with the blanket before she kissed Sheldon tenderly on his bicep and closed her eyes to rest a little.
Sheldon felt Amy's kiss and smiled softly as he closed his comic book and put it on the night stand next to him and settled in bed, facing Amy and kissed her softly on her lips before he closed his eyes as well.
Sheldon was the first one to wake up. He was face to face with Amy who slept soundly. He could see she needed the rest from yesterday, and if he was honest then he'd say Amy needed to rest from all the stress she's been in over the months; Sheldon could see she wasn't completely relaxed. He knew that there were some things that Amy didn't tell him yet in extent about herself, other than just brief mentioning of some things. He wanted to know, but by now he learned that sometimes it's best to let Amy tell him in her own time. She always did.
As he looked at her sleeping peacefully, he couldn't wake her up but he had no choice since they needed to get ready for dinner.
Sheldon looked at Amy for a few moments before he decided it's time to wake her up.
"Amy…" Sheldon said softly, but Amy didn't hear him.
"Amy… wake up." He said again, caressing her cheek now, which made her stir and open her eyes.
"What? what time is it?" Amy looked at Sheldon sleepily.
"It's 3:30 pm. We should get ready for dinner." Sheldon now put some strand hairs behind Amy's ear.
"Wow… we slept a lot." Amy said sleepily and snuggled into Sheldon's warm body.
"Yeah. We did." Sheldon agreed and hugged her tight.
They laid like this for a few moments before Sheldon turned Amy on her back and laid on top of her.
"Sheldon… we don't have time for this right now…" Amy giggled as she held on to his back.
In response Sheldon kissed Amy deeply and slowly moved to her neck, before he said anything.
"I know we don't…" Sheldon kept went back to kissing Amy's lips soundly.
"I just…" Sheldon broke the kiss and look deep into Amy's eyes.
"What?" Amy asked, caressing his nape.
"I just want you to be at peace…" Sheldon whispered and Amy was shocked at Sheldon's confession.
"What do you mean?" Amy whispered.
"I… I can see that sometimes you are not completely relaxed, and I understand that. we all have our own stress, but sometimes it seems like you are under more stress than just work. I told you that I can see your struggles…" Sheldon faltered.
"Yeah. You did tell me that…" Amy whispered, remembering Sheldon's words from this morning.
"Just… when you are ready to talk about those things…" Sheldon faltered again.
"I will. I promise." Amy whispered and rose up a little to kiss Sheldon softly on the lips, only the kiss got deeper and deeper by the second and soon they were both shirtless.
Once Amy started kissing Sheldon's neck and heard Sheldon's moan in her ear she growled in frustration.
"We should get ready…" Amy said into Sheldon's neck and caressed his back.
"But… but…" Sheldon whined. He never thought that he would actually beg to have sex.
"I know… let's see how things will go once we'll get back from dinner." Amy winked at him and Sheldon buried his head in her shoulder.
"Oh, don't tease me little lady." Sheldon said into her neck and planted a lingering kiss on Amy's neck.
"Not even a little?" Amy said seductively as she caressed Sheldon's erection through his pajama pants.
"Oh… you little vixen… you're going to pay for that once we are back from dinner." Sheldon looked deep into Amy's eyes with so much passion that Amy briefly thought about cancelling dinner and spending the rest of the day and night in bed with Sheldon.
"My oh my. I can't wait." Amy ran her finger over Sheldon's spine and Sheldon growled in return before he kissed her one last time and got up and went to the shower.
"Want me to join you?" Amy asked him mischievously when he was at the bathroom door.
"Then we will definitely stay in here." Sheldon looked at her and wiggled his eyebrows at her and went into the bathroom.
"Fine. Just don't finish the hot water." Amy yelled after him and he poked his head from the shower.
"Trust me… you will have plenty of hot water." Sheldon said and closed the door and Amy smiled at his comment contently.
Once Amy heard that Sheldon turned off the water she got out of bed and took her shower kit from her suitcase and her under garments so she will have everything she needs to get ready once she's done taking a shower.
She turned around the same time that Sheldon got out of the bathroom with only a towel around his waist.
Amy looked at him from head to toe and felt how she licked her lips slightly and Sheldon caught that.
"You should really go inside and get ready." Sheldon said as he came close to Amy and they stood inches away from each other.
"Umm… yeah… I should." Amy cleared her throat and was about to walk to the bathroom when Sheldon reached his hand out and grabbed Amy by her waist. Before Amy said anything, Sheldon brought her closer to him and cupped Amy's face with his free hand and kissed her deeply.
Amy felt how her legs are getting weaker once she felt Sheldon's mouth on hers and grabbed Sheldon's biceps tightly. After a few moments Sheldon broke the kiss and laid his forehead on Amy's, his eyes still close.
"I love you." he said in a low voice.
"I love you too." Amy said in the same low voice and Sheldon smiled softly at her and let her go.
Amy tottered to the bathroom and once she closed the door after her she put both of her hands on the counter to stabilize herself and breathed deeply.
"He'll be the death of me…" Amy mumbled to herself and chuckled at the same time.
After twenty minutes that Amy was in the bathroom and Sheldon was well past being ready, he was starting to get worried that something happened to Amy.
"Amy? Is everything okay?" Sheldon knocked on the bathroom door.
"Yes. I'll be out in a few minutes." Amy said from the bathroom, and indeed after five more minutes Amy was out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her, but it was clear she got on her under garments.
Once Sheldon saw the burgundy straps of Amy's bra he could barely think straight. He cleared his throat before talking.
"Uhm… what took you so long?" Sheldon asked.
"I put on my make-up." Amy said as she went to her clothes to get ready, but didn't look Sheldon in the eyes.
Sheldon got closer to her and was hit with her scent that he loved so much. He leaned down a little and kissed her shoulder softly and that's when he saw some redness on Amy's shoulder and some redness on her chest.
When Amy felt Sheldon's kiss on her shoulder she tensed up. She didn't want Sheldon to see the redness… she didn't want him to see that other than putting on her make-up the other thing that held her a while longer in the shower was the fact, she picked her skin yet again.
But Sheldon didn't say a thing. He just wrapped his arms around her and inhaled deeply and kissed her on her shoulder, right where she picked at her skin a few minutes ago. He did not understand why Amy does that, but he could see that the fact she does it bothers her and frustrates her at times. She never talked about it in length and Sheldon didn't want to push her. He figured by now that pushing Amy on things will not turn out well, so he decided to let her tell him things on her own time.
In the meantime, he let her know how much he loves all of her being it through words or through actions; he let her know he loves her and he is by her side no matter what.
Amy leaned into Sheldon's chest and turned in his arms a little so she could reach his lips. Sheldon leaned in further to Amy and captured her lips in his and they shared a slow lingering kiss that they broke with a small grunt.
"I should get dressed." Amy said with a sigh when Sheldon let her put on her clothes.
"Or… we can reschedule and stay here…" Sheldon said in a seductive tone.
"Don't tempt me." Amy looked at him with squinted eyes and dropped her towel and put on her burgundy long sleeved shirt with a small turtle neck.
"Right now, you are the only one who is tempting, little lady." Sheldon said as he looked at Amy's bare legs.
"Don't sell yourself short, mister. You are quite an eye candy yourself." Amy teased Sheldon as she sat down on the chair and put on her socks and Sheldon turned a deep shade of red and lowered his gaze to the ground and Amy smiled softly at his shy reaction.
Amy put on her black polyester overall with wide leg pants and closed the zipper and when she reached the button part she turned to Sheldon.
"Can you please close the button for me?" Amy asked softly while Sheldon stood there and sneaked glances at her.
"Yes. Of course." Sheldon answered shyly and the walked towards each other shyly and Amy turned her back to Sheldon so he will be able to reach the button.
Once Sheldon closed Amy's overall button, he put his hands on her shoulders and massaged her gently and kissed the top of her head and Amy sighed in contentment.
"A few more things before I'm completely ready." Amy said and went to put on a mauve colored lipstick, then her suede ankle boots with high heels and brushing her hair and put on her watch, earrings and glasses and then she was ready.
She took one last look in the mirror and turned to Sheldon.
"I'm ready." She said with a soft smile and grabbed her coat and handbag and checked that she had all her essentials there.
"Let's go then." Sheldon said with a small voice as he looked at Amy up and down. she looked gorgeous and he couldn't stop staring at her. When she put on her lipstick a few moments ago, all he could think of was how much he wanted to kiss her soundly.
Sheldon checked he has all the things he needed before they left and after two minutes, they were out of the room, on their way out again.
"You look gorgeous." Sheldon whispered to Amy in the elevator and gave her a peck on the top of her head after she put on her coat and took her handbag from him.
"Thank you. You look so handsome." Amy whispered back and leaned into Sheldon a little and he smiled shyly and lowered his gaze as he did back in their room.
It was around 5:30 pm when Amy and Sheldon walked outside from their hotel Amy pointed out the time.
"So how do you want to get there? We'll be very early even if we walk there." Amy pointed out.
"Other than walking, what will take longer, Uber or the subway?" Sheldon asked, terrified of both options.
Amy did a little check in her phone before she answered him.
"Well… it looks like it will take almost the same time. The subway will be a little longer." Amy looked at Sheldon, knowing he is not a fan of either one of the options.
"Let's take an Uber. I'm not wearing my subway/bus pants. I just hope it won't be like the last time I took an Uber and the driver drove like a crazy person." Sheldon remembered in horror.
They had to wait for about twenty minutes for the Uber driver to arrive, but eventually he came and eventually, around 6:15 Amy and Sheldon arrived to Noah and Wyatt's neighborhood in the Upper West Side.
After they paid the Uber, they looked around and saw that along the street there are a lot of pastries stores and coffee places, which gave Amy an idea.
"We still have plenty of time. Let's walk little and try and find something for desert and maybe some wine, okay?" Amy asked Sheldon who looked at the watch and along the street and concluded that they have plenty of time to kill before they actually have to be at Noah and Wyatt's.
"Okay. let's hope it won't cost like a house." Sheldon chuckled.
"Well if it will end up like that, at least we'll know we were ready for it." Amy chuckled, but quickly caught herself and looked at Sheldon apologetically.
"I was joking…" Amy said nervously, and Sheldon who looked at her with wide eyes and an unreadable expression, only nodded.
"I know…" He whispered and they started to walk down the street, looking for deserts and wine.
About forty minutes later, Amy and Sheldon came out of a bakery with a cheesecake in Sheldon's hands and a bag with bottle of wine they purchased in a different store, in Amy's hand. The rates were in fact expensive, but not completely unaffordable, so they came up with an arrangement and they both paid for each of the items.
They were still nervous from the small conversation they had earlier and the implication of purchasing a house together, and Amy was more worried that she freaked Sheldon out. However, Amy did not know that this trip together, waking up together and being all day together, made Sheldon think about the possibility of them moving in together. He was still not sure about the timing and every single detail, but he did know that once they will be back in California, he will miss waking up with Amy next to him, even though they'll probably still spend some of the nights together, but he knew it won't be the same.
Another thing that kind of made him hesitate was the fact that Amy took her words back, and he wondered if she took those words back because she wasn't ready to live with him, she did not want to live with him or because she was worried she scared him off. That was another thing he had to figure out before he's going to make any move; he had to be sure that Amy wants to live with him.
Eventually, they arrived to Noah and Wyatt's place around 7:10 pm after a silent walk to their place.
After some greetings and compliments on their place, Sheldon and Amy were led to the kitchen to where they put the cake in the fridge and the wine on the kitchen island.
"Thank you for the wine and cake. You really didn't have to bring anything." Wyatt said as he put the cake in fridge.
"It's nothing. It's the least we can do, while you prepared the meal." Amy brushed him off as she stood next to the bar stools and Sheldon stood a few steps away from her, deep in thoughts.
Both Noah and Wyatt noticed that something is going on between the two and looked at each other and then nodded a small nod so that Amy and Sheldon won't notice.
"Sheldon, why won't you help me set the table." Wyatt said as he took out some plates and passed them to Sheldon and they went to set the table.
"Sure. No problem." Sheldon said as he took the plates and went after Wyatt.
"Yeah… and Amy you can help me here with finishing the salad." Noah said and pointed to a bowl next to him.
"Sure… what is there to do?" Amy asked as she walked to the sink to wash her hands before she touched the food.
"Just slice one tomato and then add some seasoning and mix it all." Noah said as he handed Amy the tomato and she washed it.
When Noah was sure that Wyatt was keeping Sheldon occupied and vise versa, they decided it's time for the questioning.
"Is everything alright between you two?" Both Wyatt and Noah asked Sheldon and Amy.
"Yes… Why?" Amy asked with surprise in her voice.
"I… I think so… why do you ask?" Sheldon said with a raised eyebrow.
"It seems that you are distant from each other." Wyatt and Noah said.
Both Sheldon and Amy sighed simultaneously, without knowing it.
"Well… on our way here there was a comment I made that kind of implied about us buying a house together and I think I scared Sheldon off… everything is going so well and I just don't want to mess it up." Amy said with a sigh.
"Did he show any indication of being scared?" Noah asked Amy while she was chopping the tomato.
"He just opened his eyes very wide and when I said I was joking he said that he knows and we didn't speak much since then." Amy said and put the tomato in the bowl with the rest of the vegetables.
"Have you talked about moving in together or marriage or anything about the future?" Noah asked her worriedly.
"Not so much. It's still very new, especially to him but I know he loves me and that he's not going to walk away. I almost made him give up on us, but it was because of me and my insecurities, not because he didn't want to be with me." Amy said as she remembered the time she got distant from Sheldon.
"Do you want to move in with him?" Noah asked again.
"At some point, yes." Amy said with another sigh.
"Then you should talk about it and not wait too long before it will be too hurtful." Noah said as he put his hand on Amy's back.
"I know…" Amy mumbled.
"It will be okay. It looks like he's crazy about you. even though tonight you are pretty distant, I saw him sneaking some glances your way." Noah said with a smile and Amy smiled back.
"I hope you are right, even though I know he loves me… sometimes I can't help but wonder." Amy said with a small voice.
"I can tell he does. If he wasn't, he wouldn't be here and he wouldn't be looking at you with love and lust all at once… it's a rare look Amy. I myself gave that look to only two men in my life." Noah said as he remembered Ian and at the same time looked Wyatt who was setting the table with Sheldon.
In the meantime, Sheldon had a similar conversation with Wyatt.
"Amy… she made a comment that implied that we might purchase a house… she probably meant in the future…" Sheldon faltered.
"And that scared you?" Wyatt asked.
"Yes and no. Yes, because it's a big commitment, but mostly no because I see that in our future. Not the immediate future, but maybe later on. But then she said she was joking so I don't know…" Sheldon said and started to think about the meaning behind Amy's 'I'm joking' comment.
"You don't know what? if she was joking or…?" Wyatt tried to figure Sheldon out.
"If she was taking her words back because she doesn't want to live with me or is it because she's afraid she scared me off or is it because she's not ready yet to move in together." Sheldon sighed as he placed some the glasses that Wyatt handed him on the table.
"Have you talked about it? about living together or marriage?" Wyatt asked Sheldon who got a little panicked.
"Umm… not so much. I think it's mostly because of me…" Sheldon lowered his eyes. he was shocked at how much he revealed to Wyatt after knowing him for only a few hours. He talked with him about things he never even talked about with Leonard.
"What do you mean?" Wyatt asked carefully.
"Amy is… well… the only girlfriend I've had and I think there are things she might avoid talking to me or broaching some topics out of fear I'll run away. It was true a while back… but now…" Sheldon sighed.
"You won't run?" Wyatt asked.
"Hell no. I'm actually considering living with her. I'm not sure about all the details yet, but this trip cleared some things for me." Sheldon said and looked at Amy who was in the kitchen with Noah.
"You lover her." Wyatt said as he looked at how Sheldon looked at Amy.
"More than anything." Sheldon said softly.
"Then you should talk to her about it… and soon." Wyatt said and Sheldon nodded his head.
"Thank you." Sheldon said with a soft smile.
"No problem." Wyatt said.
Amy and Noah got out of the kitchen with the rest of the food at the same time that Sheldon and Wyatt went back to the kitchen to get out the rest of the food.
Sheldon went to Amy and grabbed one of the bowls she was holding and made her stay still for a moment until Wyatt and Noah left to the dining table.
"I want us to have a conversation when we are back at the hotel. It's not something bad, at least not from my perspective." Sheldon said softly yet firmly.
"Yeah… me too." Amy agreed and she hoped that they will be in the same place, otherwise she didn't know what she will do.
A/N:
Thank you so much for keeping up with the story. I'm sorry that it takes me so long to update, but I'm doing the best I can. Just know that I haven't giving up on my main three stories and that I have full intention on continuing them.
Hope you will enjoy it and I'm always happy to read your thoughts.
