The 'Break' Up Ramification …Chapter 2
ready for more?
"So what do you propose we do about it?" he asked.
"What can we do about it? I'll sign the termination agreement and we'll go our separate ways."
This thought made Amy extremely sad. Was she really letting Sheldon go… just like that? Was their relationship not worth fighting for? What about the circle of friends she had acquired, would she lose them too? Tears streamed down her cheek at the realization that this was possibly the end.
"Fine. If you believe that is what's best." Sheldon held his composure. He wasn't quite willing to let her off the hook that easily though. They had invested 5 years of their time into this and well, Sheldon Cooper is not a quitter.
"I see no other choice here," Amy added.
"Counterproposal then," he said confidently as he wiped the tears from her cheek.
"What?" Amy said listening in disbelief.
'You marry me," he declared.
"WHAT?" now not believing what had come out of his mouth.
"Are you deaf woman? I said marry me," yelling out the last part.
"How can I marry you if we are ending this relationship?" she questioned.
'It's simple. We end this phase of our relationship and proceed to a new, permanent arrangement that will benefit us both. Total and utter commitment."
"Sheldon, you can't even touch me! How are you ready for such a huge step?" she enquired.
"I can touch you. You are the only one I can touch and want to touch. Believe me, I want to touch you in more ways than one. If you hadn't cut me off on our anniversary, I don't know if I would have restrained myself," he stated.
"What do you mean?" she wondered.
"Well, I hadn't planned on anything in particular but let's just say I was prepared for anything that may have come up. And just so you know…the only reason I wouldn't let you in my room on prom night was that I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to keep my hands off you," he asserted.
"I want your hands on me," she uttered.
"Yes, but you had a panic attack just because I said I loved you. If I had tried anything else, you may have fainted. I, on the other hand, had a panic attack because you were stunning that night and my libido lost control just looking at you!" he managed to verbalize.
Amy just sat there looking at him awe-struck. Her jaw even dropped.
"Here, let me close that for you." Sheldon said as he gently took hold of her chin and lifted to close it.
"Sheldon, I had no idea."
"Well of course you didn't. You never ask me directly what I'm thinking about…you just assume," he replied.
"Alright then, I'll ask you directly. Why did you mention watching The Flash while we were making out?" she asked inquisitively.
"I was thinking how much I liked kissing you and then how much I wanted to lay you down right then and there and have my way with you. So, the Flash comment was a distraction for a split second to regain composure."
"Hoo!"
"Not Who… the Flash!"
"Sheldon, hoo is an expre…oh, never mind. You'll never get it," she said.
"It's an expression you use to express sexual desire, correct?" he said with a sly grin.
'Yes," she replied shyly.
"The same expression you used to talk about that Neanderthal Zach, am I correct?" he asked.
"You remember that? Oh yes, you do… you have an eidetic memory."
"Of course I do and not just because I have an eidetic memory. I was quite upset then."
"Why? We were just friends," she said taken aback.
"We were, but even then I wanted you to be all mine. I'm quite possessive. "
"I did get the impression that you were jealous but you denied that as well," she added.
"Looking back now, I suppose I was. I couldn't understand the reason for my jealousy and as you so rightfully stated, I was suppressing it. Enough jibber-jabber though. We are digressing from the topic. Do you want to marry me Amy Farrah Fowler? Do you want me, flaws and all?"
"With the understanding that certain things change and our love can blossom to its full potential, I would not object to characterizing you as my fiancé," she said using his words …the same words he had used to alter their relationship paradigm back then.
"Clever wording Dr. Fowler," he replied.
Amy just winked at him but then a terrible thought crossed her mind.
"Wait," she said as she touched his hand as he was going to open his messenger bag.
"How do I know that this is not some ploy to buy yourself some time? I mean, will we get engaged and then wait another five years before we actually get married and engage in physical activities?" she said cautiously.
"Amy, I am a man possessing many traits but I'm not a sadist! Why would I want to torture you or me like that? I already think the year Leonard and Penny have been engaged is too long. If you want…we can get married tomorrow," he said in a serious tone.
"You must be joking," she expressed in amazement.
"I don't kid about things like this. I have even filled out the paperwork for the marriage licenses. We could go down to City Hall tomorrow and get married."
"Really? You want to marry me …tomorrow?" she asked rather overwhelmed.
"But I have always dreamt of a big wedding."
"I don't agree that one needs a big and expensive wedding, but if that's what you want, that's what we will do. Whatever you want Amy. Personally, I don't care how or where we get married. I only want you…all the time…to be mine. If you need or want all that hippy-dippy stuff, fine by me," he said with a wave of his hand.
"Oh, Sheldon." she said misty-eyed.
"I can't promise you that everything will be perfect because as I have come to learn, all relationships are difficult but this is something we can work on…together.
So, what's it going to be Dr. Fowler? Can we add a 'Cooper' to the end of your last name?"
"Yes, Sheldon."
"Oh good. That's enough of that then.
A little bit more fun coming up…. Thanks for reading!
