A/N: Thank you, thank you very much for those who have been reading and leaving reviews on this story. You were the highlight of my days.
This Sheldon might be OOC, as well as this Amy and this Mary.
Sheldon woke up with his right arm felt numb. He opened his eyes and the face of a sleeping Amy Farrah Fowler was the first thing he saw. She looked so peaceful he did not have the heart to wake her even though his hand was numb. He decided to endure it and just waited until she woke up, she must be exhausted after the travel yesterday.
Sheldon was absentmindedly stroking Amy's hair with his other hand when his bedroom door was opened. He looked at Amy's face to see if the sound had awaken her and was relief when it did not seem to disturb her at all.
Her mother stood behind the door. Sheldon thought she looked a little shock, which was strange since she was the one that suggested them to sleep together in the first place. Sheldon immediately pressed his point finger on his lips, gesturing to her to not make a sound as Amy was still asleep.
"Why aren't you guys ready yet? We have to leave now," Mary whispered, pointing at her watch. Despite her shock, she still respected his wish not to wake Amy.
Sheldon remembered she told them last night that the whole family had to leave early to help at church for the wedding in the afternoon. He had halfheartedly agreed to it last night, but now he only shook his head to his mother and pointed to the still sleeping Amy in his arm.
His mother glared at him. "Just wake her and get ready quickly! I have told you last night we have to leave early," she added in whisper. Contrary to her words, Mary said it quietly in a manner that would not awaken Amy.
Sheldon glared back at her. "We will join you guys later after Amy wakes up. Tell Missy to pick us up before the ceremony," he whispered back. "Please, Mother?" he pleaded.
Even though Mary was not a big fan of Amy, she was not a cold-hearted. Amy might be an actor in Sheldon's ruse, but she understood the travel yesterday could be tiresome for her. That poor girl, she thought. She was surprised to find herself felt a little sympathy for Amy. Finally, she just shrugged and carefully closed the door. After all, she still had another trick up her sleeve.
A few moments later, Sheldon heard the front door of the house was closed and he noticed that all of his family members must had left. He resumed stroking Amy's hair until he felt Amy's body tensed not long after, informing him that she had awaken. He stopped stroking her hair and placed his hand on the side of his body.
When Amy lazily opened her eyes, Sheldon said, "Could you move a little, my hand is numb."
Her eyes suddenly widened and she moved backward quickly to disentangle their bodies. Sheldon, noticing that the bed was not that big, grabbed her in reflex to prevent her from falling out of the bed. He automatically screamed when Amy's body touched his numb hand which was now tingling.
"Ouch! Please refrain yourself from touching my right hand for a moment, it's tingling. Also, do not move too far, you might fall out of the bed," he said, carefully rubbing his right hand to get rid of the pin and needles.
"I-I'm sorry, I was just surprised," Amy said apologetically. "You should rock your head side to side. A tingly hand or arm is often the result of compression in the bundle of nerves in your neck, loosening your neck muscles releases the pressure."
Sheldon did as she told and the tingling was gone not long after. "Wow, it works. Thank you, Amy."
"You're welcome. What time is it?" Amy looked that the sun shine peeked through the curtain of the window. She had not worn her glasses so she could not see the clock on the wall clearly.
"Nine thirty," he replied.
"What! Didn't your mother told us to get ready by 9 am?" She quickly sat up and was about to get off of the bed when she felt Sheldon pulled the hem of her nightgown. She frowned and he suddenly realized where his hand was and dropped it right away.
"It's okay, they left already," he said, trying to hide the blush. They had been sleeping on the same bed and embracing each other the whole night, yet the fact that his hand had almost touched her bare legs still made his heart fluttered.
"Without us? Are you no longer obligated to attend the wedding?"
"They left without us because you were still sleeping when they left but we still have to attend the wedding later."
"Oh, I feel bad. Sorry I overslept."
"Are you kidding? I should be thanking you for that, less time for chitchat with my family members. Now we only have to survive the wedding." Sheldon patted the bed next to him. "Come on, we still have some time before we have to get ready."
Amy laid back. They were both laying on their backs side to side and did not say anything for a minute until Sheldon's stomach growled.
"I may have talked too fast. We need to get up after all," he said.
After having oatmeal for breakfast which was prepared by Sheldon, they each took turn to use the bathroom to take showers. It did not take long for them to get ready, including Amy. Having Penny as neighbor slash sometimes roommate who usually took at least an hour to shower and another hour to choose the wardrobe, Sheldon was impressed that Amy was ready a lot quicker than he anticipated. Amy came down to the living room where Sheldon was waiting, wearing a dark brown floral dress which ended a couple of inches below her knees, covered in a purple cardigan. She forewent her tights, which Sheldon thought was a smart decision considering the wedding would be held in the afternoon. Instead of her usual orthopedic shoes, she was wearing a pair of nude colored shoes with sensible heels. He also noticed she applied a light make up and curled her hair a little. She looked different yet she still looked like Amy.
Sheldon nodded approvingly before he said, "Missy is on the way to pick us up."
"Okay," Amy replied. She took a seat next to Sheldon on the couch.
Sheldon suddenly felt very warm. Part of him blamed the heat in Texas and the suit he was wearing. However, part of him also knew that the warm feeling he felt had nothing to do with the temperature. He cleared his throat to shake the thought. "You look different," he said breaking the silence.
"A good different or a bad different?" Amy asked, tilting her head.
"A good different of course," he said quickly. "I-I think you looked really pretty," he added quietly. Sheldon did think that Amy looked really pretty. It was not that she did not look pretty before, he thought that she always looked nice with her sensible clothes and long straight shiny hair. But seeing her all dressed up was also nice.
"Oh! Thank you, Sheldon. You looked handsome yourself," she replied. There was a blush on Sheldon's face which Amy thought made him looked cuter.
They grinned shyly at each other. However, the moment did not long last and was ruined by the sound of honks of a car outside. It was Missy.
Sheldon wondered why Missy did not get off of the car and told them in person nicely that she had arrived and ready to drive them to the wedding. Instead, she honked like a barbarian.
"I guess that's our ride?" Amy said.
Sheldon sighed. He did not understand why he was suddenly mad at his twin sister for interrupting his intimate moment with Amy. "Unfortunately, yes. Are you ready, Doctor Fowler?" he asked, offering his hand to her.
"I'm always ready, Doctor Cooper," Amy replied, taking his hand.
