Sheldon stood in the middle of the room without knowing what to do. He looked at the door as he thought about whether he should go find Leonard and Penny to help him and give him ideas of what to do next.
But he doesn't walked to the door, instead he walked to Amy's room. He had noticed that she was about to cry and it was his fault, so it was he who should try to comfort her, although he didn't know how he could do it, but at least he should try.
He stood in front of the door and knocked three times, as was his custom.
-What do you want Sheldon? -Amy asked without doing any movement to go to open the door.
-I want ... -Sheldon began to think that he really didn't know what he wanted-Open the door, I know you're crying.
-I'm not.
-Amy, please ... -He hear her stand up and a second later the door opened- Can I come in?
-Do what you want.- Sheldon pursed his lips slightly but entered the room.
-Do you want ... do you want me to prepare a hot beverage? I'm sure that will help you feel better.
-I don't need your stupid hot beverage-she said angrily.
-I'm sorry-Sheldon looked at the floor- I just want to help.
-No...I'm sorry, Sheldon-Amy said after a few seconds.-It's just that I'm ... I don't know how to describe what I feel right now.
-Are you mad at me because I told you we should remain friends?
-No...Yes...I don't know... I'm confused. The way you've treated me lately and everything Bernadette and Penny told me made me think that you...
-What did they tell you?- Sheldon interrupted.
-They ... what they told me is not important. They were wrong.
-Is it about us? -Sheldon sat next to Amy and looked her in the eye.
- It doesn't matter anymore - she answered. She bit her lip to avoid crying.
-But…
-You better go - Amy stood up and opened the door to her room.
-I won't leave you. You're sad. I can see it in your eyes - he stroked her cheek and Amy closed her eyes tightly but still a tear escaped from her eye.
-Please, leave- she cleaned the tear with the back of her hand and smile, or at least she tried.- I promise that tomorrow everything will be fine between us ... I'll be fine.
-Amy- he wanted to take her hand but she stepped aside.
-Good evening, Sheldon.
-Good evening, Amy- he said after a few seconds. He passed her and turned to look at her, but before he could say anything else, she closed the door in his face.
Sheldon went to his room and began to perform his daily routine before bedtime, when he finished he realized that Amy was still awake and crying. He think about going to see her, but he remembered that she had asked him to leave her alone, so he tried to sleep, although it was in vain.
After many laps on the bed, Sheldon decided that it was best to prepare some tea. He was putting on his slippers when he heard the apartment door close. He went to Amy's room to ask if she had also heard the noise from the door, but when he arrived he saw that she wasn't there.
After checking the entire apartment he realized that Amy had left. Which worried him because it was too late and he had no idea where she could go. He call her several times but she didn't answer.
-Where were you?- Sheldon asked when she entered the apartment almost an hour later.
-I went shopping- she replied, raising the bag a little so that Sheldon could see it.
-Alcohol?- He frowned when he realized what she was carrying. -I don't think it's appropriate for you to drink at this hour.
-You are not my father, nor my husband, nor anyone to tell me if I can drink or not.
-I am your friend…
-Then friend -she said with emphasis on the last word- You can drink with me.
-You know very well that I don't like alcohol.
-More to me- she smiled at him strangely and then started walking towards her room.
-Don't you need a glass? -he ask to see that she only carried the bottle.
-No- she take out the bottle and Sheldon noticed that she had already drunk a little.
-You shouldn't have driven in your state.
-Relax-she teased- I've drink with Penny for years and I assure you this- shook the bottle a little- It's nothing.
Sheldon followed her back to her room but she closed the door in his face again. He had no choice but to return to his room and try to sleep. He think it would take a long time but he fell asleep seconds after lay on his bed.
He opened his eyes suddenly, he didn't know that he had woken him up. It was still a couple of hours before dawn, when he heard screams in the next room. Amy was probably having a nightmare for what he ran into her room.
He try to grab her hands so he can stroke her hair and calm her, but in doing so she hit him on the cheek. Sheldon moved away from the bed a little and touched the place where Amy had hit him. He thought about going to look for his friends to help him, but Amy's screams got louder.
Carefully, Sheldon held both of Amy's hands with one hand, had to put his leg over hers because she had begun to kick, and with the free hand he stroked her hair.
After a couple of minutes, Amy finally began to calm down. What Sheldon deeply thanked, because the constant movement of Amy's legs between his had caused him an erection. He closed his eyes and tried to relax so that the erection disappeared, but nothing he thought seemed to work because Amy kept moving her legs against his...
-Sheldon- he opened his eyes immediately and saw Amy watching him. He try to separate his legs from hers but it was too late since she turned to see the bulge in his pants. He did not know who of the two swallowed or if they had been both- What ... what are you doing here?
-You ... you had a nightmare-Sheldon released her and tried to stand up but Amy grabbed him by the arm and didn't let him get off the bed-I was just trying to help you.
-And I thank you- she said before kissing him. Sheldon couldn't say he was surprised that Amy was kissing him. He had seen her gaze seconds before and knew what was going to happen, then why didn't he stop her? That was wrong. She was drunk. And that felt ... very good.
-Stop thinking- she said. She sat on his lap and Sheldon put a hand on her waist and ran the other hand between her hair to get her closer. They had kissed many times as if they were randy teenegers, but none of those times felt like this...as if he wanted to rip Amy's clothes off and ...
-What are you ... doing?- Sheldon asked scared to see that Amy had reached into his pants. He took her hand and stopped her.
-I want you, Sheldon. I want to have coitus with you.
-No... we can't.
-I know you want me. Penny told me and I didn't believe her, but now ... -Amy touched Sheldon's erection over his pants- I'm watching this.
-Yes- he admitted after a few seconds. Amy looked surprised, she thought he would deny it or run to his room- I have feelings for you that can not be explained otherwise ... the only conclusion is that I also want to have coitus with you- Amy smiled and was going to kiss him again but he stopped her- But we can't keep up with this.
-Why not?
-You're... -Sheldon looked at the floor where the bottle was completely empty- drunk and it would not be right. I will not abuse you.
-You won't abuse me. I want this!-Sheldon took her by the waist and for a second Amy thought she had convinced him, but instead he lowered her of his lap.
- Tomorrow that you are sober...we can talk about everything that happened today and together...we will decide what to do, ok?
-All right -said Amy and Sheldon nodded with relief- But ... Can you do something for me before you leave?
-Yes-replied, standing by the bed.
-Kiss Me.
-Amy ...
-Just going to be a kiss. I promise.
-Fine- Sheldon licked his lips and then leaned down to kiss Amy for a few seconds. When they separated he kissed her forehead and helped her with her blanket. Amy fell asleep immediately and he went to take a long shower.
Although he had hardly slept at all, Sheldon woke up at his usual time. He stared at the ceiling thinking about what he would say to Amy. When he told her that he wanted to remain his friend, he was really thinking about fulfilling it, but after what they did in her room ... he wasn't so sure.
He went to the kitchen and prepared his breakfast. As he imagined that Amy wasn't yet to wake up he decided to prepare something for her to eat and juice for the hangover she would surely have.
An hour later Sheldon was watching TV although he continually turned to look down the hall in case Amy had woken up. Minutes later she appeared in the room, still wearing her pajamas and was somewhat disheveled. Sheldon was reminded of the first time he saw her with a hangover by video call.
-How do you feel? -He asked her.
-I feel like my head is going to explode- Amy sat down and put her head on the kitchen island.
-I made you breakfast.- Sheldon poured the juice into a glass.
-Thank you very much.-She raised her head and watched as Sheldon looked for a spoon. He gave it to her and she began to eat while he sat in front of her and watched her silently.
-It was very tasty-she commented when she finished eating- Thank you. I feel better already- she smiled and Sheldon smiled back.
-I'm glad to hear that- Amy stood up to wash the plate and glass while Sheldon went to his spot.
-What are you watching?- She asked sitting next to him a few minutes later.
-The young titans-replied before turning off the TV.
-Why did you turn it off? It wasn't over yet.
-We must talk about what happened yesterday- Sheldon said looking into her eyes.
-No need to talk about it- she looked away -You were very clear about it.
-Yes, I told you we would talk about what happened.
-No. You didn't do it. But don't worry, I accept your decision and everything is fine between us. We can still be friends.
-But ... -Sheldon took her face with one hand for her to look at him- I thought...
-What?- Amy looked at Sheldon confused.
-What is the last thing you remember about last night?
-Well ... -Amy closed her eyes trying to remember- I went to buy alcohol, you said I shouldn't drink, I went to my room and ... that's all.
-You don't remember it- said Sheldon, looking at her sadly. This was definitely like the first time he had seen Amy drink. She kissed him and the next day she didn't remember about it.
-Remember what?
-You…
-Me what?- She asked curiously.
-It doesn't matter… I'm glad we can continue being friends.-He got up to go to his room, but Amy ran and stood in front of him to stop him.
-Sheldon, please. Tell me what happened last night.
Hello! Fun fact: The scene where Sheldon tells Amy to remain friends and then Amy's nightmare is basically the reason I wrote this story.
I hope to update next Saturday.
