*Sheldon's POV*

"God, my arm hurts." I wince in pain as the doctor examines it. "You two should've taken care about it. Eyes ALWAYS on the road. That was stupid of you two. You especially. You know he is driving. Do you have to make silly jokes all the time? Look what happened. Completely immature and naïve. I do not understand-" Tessa says. God is she mad. She's really, really pissed at the two of us.

"-Yes, Tessa. That was very irresponsible of me and Shaney. I accept it. Now please don't stay mad at me. I hate it when you do that." She is trying really hard to stay mad at me. But I can see the anger from her eyes fading. I can understand her emotions when I see her face. The two of us had enough late night chats for me to understand that completely.

Since Shane and Ali have been getting close, the twi]\\\f us got closer as well. We hung out together more and more. After we became friends, we occasionally chatted for long hours. We used to talk for hours at time and we didn't even realise it. It was pretty cool to talk to her, seeing that we had so many shared interests. So you could say we're pretty great friends now.

I can see a hint of sadness on her face but she is still trying to glare at me. I made my iconic puppy face at her and she instantly melted, rolling her eyes. "Fuck your puppy face." she mutters while looking anywhere but at my face. "You know you love it."

I tell her winking when she looks at me. She gags at it and then lets go a small smile which causes her dimples to show. My mind is instantly reminded of how gorgeous she is. Inside, out. Yeah, okay. I am no more going to ignore the fact that I really like her. But, I am not going to make any moves, I don't want to pressurize her. I do know that she likes me, but I am going to let her take her time.

She's her usual self in not more than 30 seconds but her face again takes a worried look when I wince a little due to the pain my hand is causing me. Stupid bones and shit. "It's fine. Just a little broken. Nothing that can't be fixed don't worry." She looks and me and says "How do you do that?"

"Do what?"

"Always know what I am thinking." My face turns into a smile, because I do always know what she is thinking. I can always figure it out.

"Your eyes give you away. Every time."

"Nobody has ever been able to do that."

"I'm not nobody." I shrug and simply say.

"That, is absolutely right." She admits and there is a silence in the room for a few minutes when suddenly I see mum walk in.

"Oh, honey! Are you alright? God, I was so scared. I'm so glad the two of you are doing okay." She comes to me and grabs my face and starts kissing me all over my face. I'm sure my face turned visibly red when she did that, because I am completely aware of Tessa standing right beside me, partly because I am still holding her hand.

"Mommmm!"

"What?!"

"There are people here!" I tell her meaning to say that Tess is still watching.

"Oh, no. It's okay!" she says to me before turning to my mom. "I can understand what you're feeling, Mrs Mason. He cannot. They never can." She says the last part taking a glance at me. Mum's face instantly lights up at this statement.

"I know, right! And please honey, call me Jenna. Thank you so much for taking care of him tonight."

"No problem at all. It was my duty as his friend." She says, honestly dripping from her eyes. I smile at that and I'm sure mum is going to talk to me about her when we get home. I can already see how much she likes her.

"That's very sweet of you. Anyways, I'll get going and see if Shane's check-up is done. You guys come to his room once you're done here. I'll go. I love you, baby." She adds before going.

"I love you too, mama." I say back before kissing her forehead and letting her go. I turn to Tess and see a beautiful smile, which makes her face look as if it's glowing. Wow, this girl is amazing.

"So..." I begin to say.

"So..."

"Just a friend?"

"What do you mean?"

"It's your duty as a friend?"

"Yeah? What is wrong with that?"

"Come on, darling. You and I both know that you love me. Just let it slip already." I decide to tease, just to see how she reacts.

"Shut up. Why would I love you?"

"Because."

"Yeah?"

"I am your very personal super-sized McShizzle bad boy supreme, ain't I?" I say and look at her face. I can already see the blush creeping onto her face because her cheeks are a little pink now.

She doesn't say anything and looks at the ground, as if the ground held some kind of wonder. I try to hold in my laughter, but finally burst out laughing. She peeks up at me and sees me laughing.

"I hate you."

"You don't." I simply state.

She hits my good arm and I mock hurt.

"You just don't care about me, do you?" I tell her with my puppy eyes.

"Shut up." She says and rolls her eyes.

The doctor comes in with the equipment he went to get and Tessa steps to my side from standing in front of me and after a few minutes, she rests her head on my shoulder and my heart beats out of my chest.

"I'm very much glad that you're alright." She whispers to my ears after a minute or so and I can easily hear her concern and care for me. I squeeze her hand which I have been holding all the while because of the pain the doctor's actions were causing to my hand.

We stay like that in the comfortable silence for a few minutes, waiting for the doc to complete whatever he is doing before heading to the other room to see Shane.
