"..nard, Leonard?" Amy was looking at him questioningally. "Err, yeah?" "Aren't you having a good time?" "I'm sorry Amy, it's just that... I've got a lot on my mind." She snorted "A lot. Yeah, right. A lot of Penny is more likely." Leonard felt a pang of guilt, as this rang true. Here they were at a wedding, a supposedly joyuos occation, and he was a total buzz killer. "In case you haven't noticed, I am being a delight here. And moody self obsession is only attractive in men who can play guitar, and are considerably taller than you." Ouch, that hurt. "I'm not moody, I'm fun!" he replied, not very convincingly. Moments later he found himself being pulled towards the dance floor, traling behind this socially akward brunette, and was surprised to realize he was actually having... fun. When he would dance with Penny, he would feel like he didn't belong there next to her. The beautiful radiating blonde who every guy in the room wanted to "get with". It made him feel insecure, akward and like he should always be grateful that he got to be with this goddess. He'd overheard Penny and one of her girlfriends, talking about why she was with "that funny, little man". As they were doing the moves to the chicken dance, he glanced over at Amy. She looked like she was having fun too, smiling and laughing, a little out of breath. A few strands of her hair had gotten caught in her lip gloss, so he reached over to tuck them out of the way. The back of his hand slid against her cheek as he did so, and their eyes locked. "Err, hair in the mouth can be so annoying?" Smooth Leonard, smooth.
"Yeah, thanks. I Guess." she raised her arm to her cheek as she was whisked away by another guy to go round and round to the song.
In her mind Amy was going;
Whaaaaat was THAT?!
Her cheek felt warm where Leonard's fingers had touched her.
As they were making their way up the stairs to Leonard and Sheldon's apartment, Leonard couldn't help but notice Amy's curves bumping slightly against him as she supported some of his weight by putting his arm over her shoulder. He'd overdone the Hokey-Pokey at the wedding, and stretched... things that should definitely not be stretched. As the reached the top of the landing she let him go, and he felt cold where her body had been pressed against his. "Ehm, thank you for a lovely evening, I had fun. And I needed to have a bit of fun." He smiled shyly. "And thank you for breaking the head off the ice swan for me." You're welcome. And I thought the crane of it's neck would cradle you genitals nicely." She clutched her purse nervously. Something was up, but she wasn't sure what is was... "Would you like to come in for a cup of tea?" Leonard asked hopefully. "Ah, no I think I'm going to head home." She wouldn't know what to say, in there, alone, with him... "Oh, well... again, thank you." He leaned over and gave her a quick peck on the cheek. "And again, you're welcome." He opened the door and went inside. As soon as the door closed, she turned on her heel and rushed over to Penny's door across the hall, knocking frantically. Penny opened the door, "Ames, hi! How was the wedding?" she rushed into the apartment, and sat on Penny's little couch. "I think a boy likes me!" Penny's eyebrows go up? "What?" "It's these clothes and my darn pelvis! I'll have to let him down gently." She nods trying to convince herself. "Who?" Penny asks, sounding confused. "Leonard. I'll send him an e-mail in the morning." Penny shrugs and lets it go. Amy doesn't always make sense.
Back at the guys apartment, Leonard lays in his bed fully clothed. He can't sleep. His mind keeps on spinning around this evening with Amy. He definitely felt something... A spark? She made him laugh, and he really enjoyed her company. She made him for comfortable around himself, which he most certainly did not feel around other females. But she was Sheldon's girlfriend... "Aaah!" he covered his face with his hands. "Do you mind? I'm trying to get some decent R.E.M sleep, Leonard." Sheldon complained through the wall. "Sorry Sheldon... It's just, I can't sleep." Leonard turned over on his side. "Have you tried to consume some warm soy milk?" He closed his eyes. "No, Sheldon. I have not. I'll be quiet now, just go back to sleep." He imagined Sheldon laying in bed in his normal sleeping position. Or "the Dracula" as Wolowitz called it. He wondered how Sheldon would react if Leonard told him that he was kind of interested in Amy. Did he even care that much?
