Hello! This is my first story, so please don't forget to review :D

"I really should get going, it is already approaching midnight. Goodnight, Sheldon, I'll show myself out," Amy smiled at him and turned towards the door of apartment 4A. They had just finished an invigorating game of Counterfactuals.

They were so caught up in their game that when they finally looked at the time was already ten past eleven.

"Goodnight, Amy". Sheldon replied furrowing his brow lost in thought. Just as Amy was about to exit the apartment she heard Sheldon clear his throat at an unusual loud decibel. She looked behind her and saw Sheldon staring at her, his right eye twitching sporadically.

"I just thought that I should inform you that I thoroughly enjoyed your company this evening and that your newest additions to Counterfactuals have far surpassed satisfactory," he smiled.

Amy's mind had suddenly gone blank.

"Umm… I… thank you," she stuttered and fought to create a sentence.

She saw his eyes examining hers as if trying to find the answer to one of his many equations, he had been looking at her that way for a couple of days now.

Amy cleared her throat and with a shy smile responded, "Thank you, Sheldon, goodbye," She turned and left, quickly descending the stairs. As soon as she exited the building her mind started analysing everything that had just occurred to her. While she walked to her car she saw dark clouds hanging over Pasadena and low rumbles of thunder could be heard in the distance. She felt the rain start to fall, slowly at first, so she started to walk faster.

When they had started their relationship Amy already knew that Sheldon was completely against physical contact and PDA. She would listen to him complain for hours on end about Penny's and Leonard's incessant kissing and loud coitus, and although for the couple of weeks into their relationship Amy had been comfortable with having a relationship of the mind, recently she had started to feel an unfamiliar longing to have Sheldon take her to a room and have his way with her.

As soon as she climbed into her car the rain was pouring and visibility was close to zero. She put her seatbelt on, turned the heating to high and started her car. She slowly pulled out and started ride to her apartment.

Whilst she was driving she pondered on how her relationship with Sheldon had changed over the past couple of months. The first change she saw was that he seemed to be in a happier mood at their monthly dates. She first noticed this when he suggested that they try out a restaurant that had just opened a couple of blocks away from the Cheesecake Factory. The next change she had noticed was that he seemed to be more lenient with her in breaking his schedule and routine and when he was in an especially happy mood even the Relationship Agreement.

She smiled when she remembered when Sheldon had allowed her to hold his hand whilst they watched TV with the rest of their friends after they had enjoyed pizza night. She remembered the tingles she felt in her hand and the warmth she could feel radiating off his finger which were intertwined in hers. She had a smile from ear to ear during that movie and of course Penny and Bernadette noticed because the movie they were watching wasn't a particularly funny or happy one.

She was so caught up in remembering that special moment in her relationship that she didn't even realise that the rain had become stronger and that the wind was blowing fiercely.

She turned the last corner to her apartment, when out of nowhere a blinding light hit her eyes, she didn't know what to do, she was frozen like a deer in front of headlights, and all she could hear was the loud beeping of a car.

Suddenly everything went quiet…
