Here's Chapter 3. I'm sorry, I know I promised longer chapters. I didn't feel like I had a good stopping point this time, however :( The next chapter will be much longer (I know it will be, it's already started :D) Thank you so much for reading! I hope you like it! 3
Sheldon opened the door slowly. Amy was standing outside the door holding a toothpaste tube and a toothbrush. She was in her nightgown.
"Is everything okay?" Amy asked Sheldon. Her goal was to try and not mention what had happened earlier. She knew Sheldon wouldn't forget about it, but at least there wouldn't be a conversation that would likely make them both uncomfortable.
Amy shut the bathroom door and Sheldon got in the bed. It was definitely past his bedtime. When Amy re-appeared, Sheldon was already asleep. "I wasn't in there that long" she thought. She had hoped to just climb into bed after the long day of driving and confusion. There was just one problem: Sheldon was in the middle of the bed.
The last thing she wanted to do was tick off Sheldon. The room sharing was definitely harder for him than it was for her. Sure, she had been expecting her own room, but girls' nights with Penny and Bernadette had gotten her used to occasionally sleeping in a room that somebody else was sleeping in too.
But….darn it…She was really tired.
She grabbed a pillow that Sheldon wasn't using and the small throw blanket from the foot of the bed. She laid down next to the bed. The ground was pretty hard, but she was just so tired that it didn't could have been gravel and she would have fallen asleep anyway.
Amy didn't notice that when she had picked up the pillow, Sheldon had woken up. He glanced at the floor and saw Amy trying to get comfortable.
"No, Amy, I don't want you to sleep on the floor" Sheldon said quietly. He had been sleeping.
"Well, I didn't really have a choice" she said "You were in the middle of the bed, and I tried to wake you up, but you were sound asleep"
Sheldon then moved over to the left side of the bed.
"Come up here.I want you to sleep well and I don't want your back to hurt"
Amy's mouth fell open. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. She froze for a few moments, which confused Sheldon.
"I don't bite, you know" he said shyly.
Amy smiled as she picked up the pillow and blanket from the floor and placed them on the bed. She walked over to the right side of the bed. She paused before getting in.
"Are you sure that you are okay with this?" Amy asked.
"I'll admit that it is not ideal" Sheldon said as he began to sit up "However, you need to be comfortable as do I, so neither one of us should have to sleep on the , who knows what kind of dirt and filth have been on that carpet? You are my girlfriend and I don't want you to get sick, especially while we are here"
"Sheldon, that's so sweet" Amy said, flattered.
"Okay, so get in the bed. It's late and we both need to be up early"
Amy got in the bed and looked over at Sheldon. He had been turned away, but then turned back to look at Amy.
"Thank you, Sheldon" she said "I know this isn't easy for you and I appreciate the sacrifices you are making"
"It's alright. It's not your fault and if I have to share a bed with anybody, I'm glad it is you" Sheldon said.
Both of them were completely silent after that. Sheldon was very tired, and was sleeping again before Amy could say anything.
She was definitely in shock though.
"Good night, Sheldon" she whispered to him.
This probably wasn't the most exciting chapter, sorry. Chapter Four is going to have a surprise though :)
Thanks again for reading. I really appreciate it 3
