In the doorway stood the boys.
George sauntered casually over to the girl's table with Leonard, Howard and Raj beaming absurdly behind him. Sheldon followed on with a large scowl on his face.
"Hello ladies" George leaned against the table by his elbow, pulling a slight pout onto his lips and squinting his eyes.
Despite addressing the entire table, his eyes were only on Amy. She looked away cautiously and tried to smile at Sheldon, however he was too busy looking around the dirty bar with a horrified facial expression, clutching his hands to his chest.
"What are you guys doing here?" Penny asked as Leonard walked up behind her and placed a hand on her back.
"We didn't want to miss out on the fun" he replied.
"I hope you don't mind us crashing girl's night?" Howard stood beside his wife.
George glowered at the two men who had immediately latched onto their women. He soon saw Sheldon make his way over to Amy and place a soft kiss on her cheek before taking the seat next to her.
Jealousy raged through him. He had to make her feel as jealous as he did. He had to have her.
"Can I get you a drink Amy?" George asked.
Amy shook her head cautiously, "No thank you" she twiddled her empty wine glass between her fingers, avoiding eye contact.
Sheldon's eyebrows knitted and he placed a protective hand against his girlfriend's back. George watched his hand as it smoothly stroked down her dress and rested on her lower back. His eyes roamed to her ample posterior.
George felt his cheeks redden. He looked away to scowl back at Sheldon who was watching him like a hawk. He had to get away from these two.
Placing a hard hand on Raj's shoulder he bellowed, "You're my wing man tonight Raj. Let's go find us some girls"
Pretending to give his attention to other women would surely throw Sheldon off as well as make Amy jealous.
Raj stuttered as he attempted to escape by explaining his situation, "Oh actually, I am-", but he was cut short as George dragged him over to the bar.
The others watched as he strategically placed himself next to two young women who appeared to be very drunk and very ditzy.
"Are you sure you two are related?" Amy asked Sheldon in a deep yet quiet voice. As the evening went on, she was liking George less and less.
"Hey, at least his attention is off you Ames" Penny added.
Leonard and Howard looked at her in confusion whilst Sheldon almost exploded.
"You've noticed too!" he shouted, arms in the air.
Amy sighed heavily, "Of course I've noticed. He'll barely leave me alone"
Sheldon's fists clenched in anger and his grinding jaw caused his chin to square off in fury.
"If he comes near you again, I may have to seriously damage him" he threatened.
Howard laughed, "You? You took 20 minutes to open a jar of pickles yesterday"
Sheldon raised his chin and looked down on Howard, "I'm stronger than I look" he said defensively.
"I'm sure you'll try your best Sheldon, just don't get hurt" Amy rubbed a hand down his arm. Despite being able to feel the deep contours of his biceps, she still worried for him. He was stronger than he looked but George looked stronger.
"I'm not going to get hurt! He's the one that's going to be in pain!" Sheldon was beginning to sound exasperated. His anger towards his brother was definitely going to bubble over soon. As soon as George slipped up again, he would be there to make sure he got what he deserved.
Sheldon would prefer not to have his older brother luring after his girlfriend but simultaneously he wanted to prove himself as perfectly capable of protecting and defending his her.
He was sure he was going to get the chance.
