Bound to Love
By Pandakelly
Chapter Three
A/N: alas I own nothing but an idea. Well here is the much promised extra background on Sheldon, hope you all like it. Thank you for all the reviews from the last chapter, I am glad that you all enjoyed it. So I have decided that the points of view will mainly be from Sheldon's perspective but it will switch when needed. To Vikingheart, way to catch my Freudian slip. Now here's some Sheldon
Sheldon's Point of View
As he heard the blonde sprint for her door Sheldon mentally kicked himself. How could he be so foolish, it had been years since someone had fully accepted him, I miss Leslie she was so pure and sweet, every day with her was such a treat, he reminisced. Leslie was a 23 year old librarian, from the first moment he had spoken to her she totally accepted him. Falling for Leslie had been like breathing there was no work involved his love seemed to consume him. He spent hours getting to know every detail about her and loved to surprise her with his knowledge.
The best part was the amount of time they would spend together, even though she was a fast reader Leslie would always reread each chapter, allowing Sheldon extra time that he had always craved with his previous owners. After a year Leslie started to develop feelings for Sheldon, he finally was beginning to feel human and no longer needed her to read a page before he could talk to her, he found that simply opening the cover of his book allowed him to speak to her. They would spend hours upon hours simply discussing the events of the day, Sheldon's work took off and he started to write his findings down hoping one day to figure out a way to publish them. Leslie even suggested that maybe he could share them with her and that she would publish them in his name.
One day after a particularly wonderful evening discussing the literary influences of the Russian authors Leslie brought a few of her friends over to her apartment to introduce Sheldon to them. The friends had all heard about the mysterious man but had never met him and were curious. As Leslie tried to explain their relationship her friend's faces paled. Sheldon wanted to speak out but he knew that if he did they would try and study him in some lab. Ashamed of his behavior and how it had hurt his love Sheldon remained silent and stopped interacting with Leslie altogether. Soon enough Leslie decided that she had imagined the whole year and decided that she needed to take some time away from books. After she quit her job she sold all of her books to her friend Ramona. She was a terrible reader and although she fell hard for Sheldon he never talked to her for more than the time on the pages. After 500 slowly earned pages filled with silence she gave up and "accidently" left him at a bus stop.
Penny's rejection hit him hard, after staring at a blank piece of paper for five hours, he decided to head over and spend some time with Victor Frankenstein; the tragic scientist always seemed to give him the best advice. Three hours later he felt much better and was ready to stick with this crazy blonde woman. Sheldon found himself trying to remember his first owner, she had been an elderly woman who had blushed the first time he told her he loved her, but he loved her like the grandmother he had never had. She had taken such good care of him always using a bookmark, in those early days he was still uncertain about what his place in this new world would be and often would ask her for advice. Her kind heart and warm hands had kept him company for almost a decade. She would call him moonpie but he never really understood why, at first he thought it might be the first signs that she was finally losing her mind but after a few years he realized that she was devouring his pages like he was a chocolaty treat. The day she died was a terrible day, she had died while talking to him, he wished that he was able to tell the blonde about his past, maybe she would understand, but then again the way she had dropped him had greatly bruised his small ego.
Two weeks after the incident Sheldon decided that whatever he had been feeling was a lie and that he if she ever opened his cover again he would simply ignore her, after all she had totally rejected him she did not deserve any of his words. Incidentally the next day he felt himself being picked up and carried to the fireplace. He bit his lip as she looked at him hiding under a tree on the second page, great she has spotted me he pouted. He was started when her angelic voice echoed off of his pages and into his heart as she introduced herself as Penny Coble. She asked if he was still there and waited for a good thirty minutes in silence before she sighed and shut his cover. As he stood up from the shaded tree he felt a hot tear hit his cover.
Sorry for the wait but I am still trying to decide some big story plots, including but not limited to how the story shall end, if we are dealing with a beauty and the beast type of situation etc. Thank you for reading and I hope you will continue to read. Please let me know what you think
