A/N: Sorry this chapter came a little late in the day, I hope you enjoy it!
Chapter 4 (Sheldon's POV)
I wake up from my bed and look at my clock, its 2:00am. Why am I awake so early? I feel a pinch of guilt in my chest. Oh ya, date night. It has been 5 hours since Amy ran off crying. I finally told her I was jealous, she was getting on my nerves. I don't know why she was crying though. I think back to the moment she ran off. I had just finished yelling at her. Maybe that's why she was crying, because I was yelling. But who knows what goes on in that hippy dippy brain of hers? I get off my bed and walk into the kitchen. The best way to cure guilt is to make some hot chocolate. It doesn't make all the guilt disappear but it helps me sleep. The apartment is empty. It's one of those days where Leonard sleeps over with Penny. He's been hanging around there a lot these days, I wonder why. I grab my mug and pour the hot chocolate. After I carefully set it down on the coffee table and take a seat on the couch. I take a sip from the hot chocolate, and think about what I'm supposed to do. Amy is clearly mad at me. Leonard's never here. I take another sip. There's no one to help. I guess I'll just have to figure this one out by myself. I grab the TV remote and turn the TV on. I scroll through the channels to check if there's anything good. There isn't. Of course it's 2 in the morning. I take one last drink from my hot chocolate hoping to finish it off. There's still a lot but I just walk it over to the kitchen and dump it. I'm to tired to do anything. I place the cup in the sink and walk back to my bedroom. Hopefully a decent nights sleep will help. I still feel guilty but I don't care. I need my sleep. I lie down on my bed and close my eyes. Before I know it I'm fast asleep..
When I wake up in the morning something feels different. It feels like someone, someone is here. It must be Leonard! I jump of my bed and run to the kitchen only to see him sitting on one of the stools by the island. I've never been so happy to see Leonard in my life. I feel the weird giddy mile form on my face but I don't care. He smiles a bit at me then frowns.
"Hi buddy." He says. "Why don't you have a seat." He taps the stool beside him,
"Ok." I say as I sit down. He smiles.
"Good, as you know I've been spending a lot of time with Penny lately." He says
"Yes, I've been waiting for you to come home!" I sound excited, mostly because I am.
"Well here's the thing." Oh no there's a thing.
"Before I tell you, you have to promise not to freak out."
"This feels like this sweater incident all over again. I promise." I sigh, I think I know where this is going.
"So your not gonna run away on a train for 45 days after I tell you." He laughs a little. I don't see why because that was a very serious matter.
"I won't." Now I'm getting nervous.
"Ok well me and Penny have decided that we want to live together, permanently. In her apartment. We know how you feel about this but we're engaged and the time is right. Also you have Amy now, so you won't be completely alone."
My jaw drops. I can't believe he's leaving me but sometimes you need to let go.
"Ok I respect your decision, but before you leave my life forever could you drive me to Amy's apartment?" I ask. I don't know what will happen when I ask her but its worth a shot.
"I'm not leaving you forever I'll just be across the hall." He says. I start to get annoyed.
"I understand, but that doesn't answer my question. Can you drive me or not?" He gets up.
"Sure buddy." I go into my room and change. When I come back out Leonard asks m a question I was not prepared to answer.
"So how are you and Amy going?" My right eye twitches, then my left does too.
"Great." I say. I know I lied but oh well. He looks at me with a confused face. I stare right back at him.
"Can we just go." I say as I walk out the door. I hear him mumble something but I don't completely understand. In the car I say nothing. I was not in the mood to talk to him. I was in the mood to talk to Amy. When we got to her building I waved to Leonard and exited the car. Walking into the building I felt nervous and unsure of my self. I've never felt this way before. I get out of the elevator and walk out to her apartment. I knock on the door and she answers. She's still in her pajama's but I don't care.
"What do you want Sheldon?" She sounds annoyed. Extremely annoyed.
"I want to talk to you." I say.
"So now you want to talk." She rolls her eyes. I see it an ignore it.
"Yes."
"Come in." She say and leads me to the couch. We sit on the exact same time. I am the only one who notices.
"So what do you want to talk about?" She asks. I feel like she wants an apology, she really looks like she wants one too. Suddenly I have an amazing idea.
"I would just to say I'm sorry for yesterday, and since I'm so sorry I would like to invite you to live with me." The words feel odd coming out of my mouth who thought I would one day ask something like that.
"I don't understand. One day you don't want to come near me and now you want to live with me?" She asks.
"Yes." I say.
"But your jealous, how can I trust you?" She keeps avoiding my original question but I decide to play along.
"Live with me and you'll see, besides would a jealous man come here and ask you." I feel like I'm getting closer to convincing her.
"But why, why do you want to live with... with me?" I don't know what to say after that. My eye twitches. Is it just because Leonard is moving out or for some other reason.
"Amy, I want you to live with me because.. Because I love you.'' She says nothing. Neither do I. I feel the tension between us. I don't know what to say so I just kiss her. I lean in and kiss her. I feel her melt in to the kiss enjoy it. I feel my hands go around her waist, move up her back and into her hair. My hands want to explore more but Amy doesn't let me, thank god. She puts her hand on my chest and pushes me back.
"Sheldon I love you too but I don't know about this." The anger starts to build inside of me but I do my best to avoid yelling.
"Why don't you sleep over one day, see what its like." I feel like its a good enough proposal.
"That sounds good." She smiles and nods.
"Ok then." I say. Not knowing where to go from here.
" I'm glad we came to a compromise." She says.
"Me too." I say. She smiles, causing me to smile. I want to kiss her. I can kiss her, but she beats me to it. Our lips collide. Her hands form around my neck, while my hands explore her back. We have never kissed like this, for this long. I sort of like it. Which is odd, really odd. My hands move back down and so do hers until she stops for a breath. We both don't know what to say. We gaze into each others eyes breathless. I get up.
"Well I better go now, Leonard's waiting." I say.
"Ya." She says and smiles.
"Bye Amy." I say and wave.
"Bye Sheldon." She says and waves back.
I walk out and go into the elevator. Once down I see Leonard waiting outside with the car. When I walk in Leonard of course asks me questions.
"So how did it go?" He asks.
"Good." I respond.
"What happened?" He asks.
"If I answer that you have to promise not to ask any more questions."
"Ok." He says. To end the conversation I say one thing and one thing only:
"Her lips tasted like brownies."...
