Amy opened her eyes in surprise as she looked towards the sofa where Sheldon was sitting in his spot and Vanessa was in the place that used to be hers, but that was not all, Vanessa was leaning towards Sheldon and it seemed they were kissing.
Amy felt a lump in her throat and thought it was best to get out of there and run to her friend's apartment. She tried to open the door without making a noise, but in her desperation to leave quickly she did not realize that her bag was open and several of her belongings fell to the floor.
-Shit- whisper. She turned back and saw Vanessa and Sheldon looking at her- I ... I'm sorry, I don't ... wanted to interrupt you.
-Let me help you- Vanessa crouched to help Amy collect her things.
-Thanks-said Amy. She take her lipstick that was the only thing left on the floor and stood up-I'm going ... I'm going to Penny's apartment and you can continue with your date.
-That's not necessary, Amy-Sheldon stood up and she could tell that he was wearing his Spock ears- Vanessa is leaving.
-Oh ... -It was the only thing she said.
-And now if you're excuse me-Sheldon pointed towards the door that at that moment was blocked by Amy's body.
-Yes, of course- she stepped aside and watched as Sheldon opened the door.
-It was a very pleasant night- Amy hear Sheldon say from where she was.
-Yes, it was- Vanessa smiled and Amy could see that today she looked even more beautiful than the inner day. Amy looked at her clothes and was grateful to have agreed to change clothes so there was not much difference between her clothes and Vanessa's. But the difference was that Vanessa was tall, blonde and thin and she was ... she.
-Well ... -Sheldon was silent for a few seconds and he noticed that Vanessa's expression changed to one he knew very well. Only that he had only seen it in the face of the person who was currently in the kitchen - Have a good night - he said and immediately closed the door so he did not notice Vanessa's face of disappointment.
-What's up?-she ask when she saw Sheldon's panic face.
-We are friends, right? -Amy nodded without understanding why Sheldon was asking that- And friends can share details of their ... dates with their friends, isn't?
-I guess- Amy replied with a shrug. She didn't want to hear in detail how amazing his date with Vanessa had been.
-I think ... I think she wanted to kiss me.
-I don't know why you're so surprised, after all you were ...
-It's our first date! What kind of people kiss on the first date?
-You two, for example- she said bitterly, remembering what she had seen when she got home.
-What the hell are you talking about, woman?
-You were kissing when I got home.-She crossed her arms and looked at something annoying Sheldon.
-Don't you know me at all? Why on earth would I kiss a woman I just met? I have no idea where her mouth has been!-he exclaim indignantly, as Amy began to laugh.- What's so funny?
-I thought you were kissing.- Amy was relieved and Sheldon rolled his eyes at how ridiculous it sounded that he was kissing Vanessa ... and on their first date. -So why was Vanessa leaning and almost on top of you?
-She was helping me to compose my ears- he replied pointing towards Spock's ears.
-Oh ...
-You still haven't answered my question- he reminded her and Amy looked confused.-What kind of people kiss on the first date?
-Basically every couple that goes out on a date.-Sheldon grimaced in disgust and a few seconds later opened his eyes.
-That means Dave and you ...
-Yes-admitted Amy without knowing why that made her feel guilty- But we have only kissed a couple of times.
-Well, I have no interest in kissing Vanessa.
-You can tell her that all forms of physical contact up to and including coitus are off the table-Amy joked and saw Sheldon smile.
-Maybe I will.
The next day Amy was working at Leonard's desk, when Penny and Bernadette entered the apartment and almost dragged her to the other apartment even though she told them she had a lot of work to do.
-What is so important as not to let me finish my work? - Amy complained as she looked around. She noticed that there was a bottle of wine on the table in front of the TV and another in the kitchen. She wouldn't get out of there soon.
-Penny was telling me about last night-Amy frowned- And I need you to give me all the details.
-About what?
-Don't lie, Amy. I want to know everything about your new boyfriend being in love with your ex.
-It's not funny.
-Yes, it is- Bernadette chuckled- Please.
-Well- she sigh resigned- Although there is not much to tell.
-Didn't you know that Dave admires Sheldon?- Asked Penny.
-Of course not! If I had known ...
-You won't say you're thinking of break up with him- Bernadette interrupted her.
-Well I don't know. But I think it will be uncomfortable for everyone if I continue with him.
-For everyone or for you?-Amy took a sip of the wine to avoid responding. But her friends seemed not to give up.
-Please, can we change the subject? I still don't make a decision, but when I do, you two will be the first to know, ok?-They both agreed.
-Howie mentioned that Sheldon had a date with a woman yesterday- said Bernadette and Penny almost spit out the wine.
-What?! Leonard said nothing to me. Do you know who she is?- she ask looking at Bernadette who shook his head.
-I know about her- said Amy and the blondes looked at her.
-Why didn't you tell us anything?- Penny asked after Amy told them about the test and how she had met the woman. Amy simply shrugged. -Is she pretty?
-Howard says she's very beautiful-Bernadette said and Penny noticed some jealousy in her tone of voice.
-Yes- confirm Amy-She also likes comics and science.
-Sounds like the perfect woman for Sheldon- Bernadette commented without thinking. Penny nudged her slightly and looked at Amy's expression- What I tried to say ...
-No. It's okay. Sheldon deserves to be happy and she seems very nice-Amy smiled slightly- I'm happy for him.
-Are you serious?- Penny asked and she nodded.-Honey, we're your friends and you can tell us the truth.
-I'm telling the truth-she said, raising her voice.
-Then why are you almost screaming? -Amy stood up and turned her back on her friends.
-Fine. You're right-she turned around and looked at her friends- I'm upset! Vanessa is tall, thin, and likes the same things as Sheldon. And yesterday I arrived at the apartment I thought they were kissing and Sheldon looked so happy ... I should feel good that he have someone but instead I was angry, sad or I don't know ... I just knew I wanted to run away from there.
-What did you do?- Asked Bernadette, taking her hand.
-Try to leave but I made noise, they saw me and ... -Amy sigh- Sheldon said that Vanessa was already leaving and bothered me even more because I thought that the kiss I saw was goodbye kiss and I was angry that it would have taken him years to kiss me after our dates and he kissed her in the first date.
-Oh Ames...
-But I was wrong. Sheldon explained to me that they weren't kissing and that he had no intention of kissing her and I felt so relieved - she wiped a tear with the back of her hand - Am I very selfish in expecting that Sheldon has no sexual interest in another woman? As he didn't had when he was with me.
-Well, I'm not sure about Sheldon having no sexual interest.
- What are you talking about? - Amy asked.
-I… I promised... I wouldn't tell you anything- said Penny, biting her lip.
-Is that what you told me about?- Bernadette and Penny looked at each other.
-Yes.
-Well, I change my mind. I think we should tell her-Bernadette said with a smile.
-I promised Leonard I wouldn't tell her," Penny reminded to Bernadette.
-But I don't, so I'll tell her.
-Tell me what?- Amy asked.
-Sheldon has lately shown that he is physically attracted ... to you.
-It's a good joke. But tell me what you have to tell me.
-Bernadette is not kidding. I'm sure Sheldon wants you.
-Yes, of course -said she- And also the sky is green.
-It's true Amy.
-Sheldon showed no sexual desire for me the entire time we were together. Why do you think he desires me now?
-Perhaps it is your new wardrobe or living together or I don't know. But I've seen the way he looks at you and a couple of days ago when I was joking that he should help you bathe ... I could see a lump in his pants.
-That ... that can mean anything- Amy said, refusing to believe what her friends were telling her.
-Maybe. But I assure you, Sheldon desires you.
-He...he's with Vanessa.
-They've only had one- Penny reminded her.
-And you're thinking of break up with Dave ... maybe...this a new opportunity to you two and... you should talk with him and get back together-Bernadette suggested.
A couple of days passed and Amy was still thinking about what her friends had said about Sheldon. They had never lied to her, but she thought it was incredible to believe that after not being together, Sheldon began to show desire for her.
She hadn't even thought about Dave until that morning she received a message from him. She felt a little bad about not communicating with him since their date the other date, so she opened the message immediately, just to roll her eyes when she read that he was asking if she had already decided to introduce Sheldon and that that day he was available to met Sheldon. She shook her head and left the cell phone on the table without bothering to answer.
That night Sheldon was having another date with Vanessa in his apartment and Sheldon was teaching her how to play 3d chess when someone knocked on the door.
-Could you open? I have to go to the bathroom- Sheldon asked as he stood up. Vanessa nodded and walked towards the door.
-Hi- she said when she saw the man in the hallway.
-Hello-said the stranger- Is Amy at home?
