A/N: Shamy, took effect after season 8 finale.
I personally don't like too long of a paragraph, it sores my eyes. I am also not that good of a writer, just wanted to get this out. And this is my first time. BTW, no beta tester either. Sorry. I plan to make this a few chapter fanfic, not one shot. :) Forgive me for bad writing. I don't own anything.
Chapter 1: The After Effect
Amy's POV
"Goodbye Sheldon." Sound voice lingers to Amy's mind, could I really do this? Could I prevent myself from throwing myself every time I see Sheldon? Could I really step back and reevaluate? Even though I couldn't, I SHOULD.
I did not send him the relationship termination notice. What if he thinks I am ending our relationship? It's not my purpose why I told him I needed to step back.
I NEEDED to step back because of me, not because of him. He's done enough for this past 5 years, and I keep on wanting too much more from him.
I wanted coitus from him. I was always hoping for that. I know I said to him on our 5th year anniversary that all I can get is a distracted make out session, I would not lie, that was a big step for Sheldon and after giving it some thought – he did wanted more.
I got annoyed and distracted when he mentioned the Flash TV but knowing him, he got millions of thoughts in his mind. I might be one of those but knowing him, he doesn't know what to say to a lady. I should have known better, I should have.
These are the reasons why I needed to step back and reevaluate our situation.
Sheldon's POV
Gollum is no help. It is already 11 o clock, way past my bedtime but I can't sleep at all. This is not like me.
I know I said to Amy that I am going to respect her decision, impliedly. But thinking more of it, I don't know if I could do this. Few hours after she asked for some time away from me, it is already killing me. How can I last days without her.
Sheldon opened his laptop. Checked his email if there is anything that Amy has sent.
Nothing, why did she not send me the relationship termination notice? I thought she wanted to be away from me? Could it be that we are still together but we don't communicate whatsoever? I need to ask Penny and Leonard, but they are in Vegas, possibly consummating their marriage. 11:28pm, No one would be up by now.
I need to ask Amy.
Amy's POV
"Just to be clear, we are not breaking up since you haven't sent me the relationship termination notice? You just needed time away from me?" 1:39am - SLC
A text that suddenly stuns her, It was Sheldon's. Good he did not misunderstand. Excellent as always Dr. Cooper Oh but I can't say that to him. Keep it simple Amy.
"Yes." 1:42am – AFF
Why is he still up? It is way past his bed time. Could it be? No it couldn't. I couldn't have been the reason. There's another text from him.
"I wasn't expecting you'd still be up by now." 1:45am – SLC
"Same to you, Dr. Cooper" 1:50am – AFF
"I can't sleep, thanks for clarifying things." 1:52am – SLC
I can't also. I am sorry for everything. I wanted to say that but... Stay cool. Just say good night to him.
"Ok. Good night." 1:55am – AFF
"I'd like to say something" 1:58am – SLC
What is it now? Please don't make my heart melt.
"What is it?" 2:00am – AFF
"Amy, I'll be waiting for you." 2:02am – SLC
Wow. Thank you Sheldon, but what should I reply? Don't put anything that you'll regret later. Just say thank you.
"Thank you, Sheldon." 2:04am – AFF
"Good night, Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler."
Sheldon's POV
No don't ask her. What can you not understand about her asking a time from you? That includes you not communicating with her. But, I am just merely asking or clarifying some questions. Just clarifying, alright I will send her a text to CLARIFY things, nothing more.
It is already 1:30am and I don't think she's still up by this time of hour. She might read my text at the morning, hopefully she would reply to me by then.
Keep it simple and direct to the point.
"Just to be clear, we are not breaking up since you haven't sent me the relationship termination notice? You just needed time away from me?" 1:39am - SLC
"Yes." 1:42am – AFF
Oh goodie. She is still my girlfriend. This means she would not be dating any other guys. Oh wait, what am I saying? Why is she still up?
"I wasn't expecting you'd still be up by now." 1:45am – SLC
She might have been having a hard time because of me. That might be the reason why she's still up.
"Same to you, Dr. Cooper" 1:50am – AFF
I can't sleep, really. Should I say it to her? I should at least say to her the reason why I'm still up.
"I can't sleep, thanks for clarifying things." 1:52am – SLC
"Ok. Good night." 1:55am – AFF
Good night Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler – Sheldon then deleted this text. Since she clarified things for me, I should maybe say this.
"I'd like to say something" 1:58am – SLC
"What is it?" 2:00am – AFF
I love you and I will wait for you, as long as you like. – Deleted. That sounded too much hippy dippy.
I love you, please don't rush things and I will always wait for you – Deleted. Still too much
Amy, you mean everything to me. – Deleted. What is wrong with me? I don't want to sound pathetic that she would come back to me because I'm begging her. This is not saying I will wait for you
Amy, take as much time as you like. I will always wait for you. – Deleted. Still too, what do they call it, cheesy…?
"Amy, I'll be waiting for you." 2:02am – SLC
There you go Dr. Cooper, simple.
"Thank you, Sheldon." 2:04am – AFF
Oh Goodie. She appreciated it. I should at least say good night to her, for one last time.
"Good night, Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler."
I am working on chapter 2. And again, forgive me for bad writing.
