I miss you.

V glanced over at her cellphone as it blinked on and the message popped up from Sheldon followed by: Terribly. This caused her to smile and brush a strand of fallen hair from her messy bun behind her ear. I miss you too. She typed back quickly as the microwave beeped declaring her popcorn was ready. It was going to be another boring Friday night without Sheldon; curled up on the couch in her gray yoga pants and oversized light pink long sleeved shirt. The Notebook was waiting patiently in her DVD player. If she couldn't have Sheldon, Ryan Gosling would have to do.

A soft knock on her front door startled her, causing her to sit the popcorn down and make her way across the small room. After a moment she jerked the door open - surprised to see Sheldon standing before her holding a handful of white and yellow daisies.

"I couldn't be away from you another minute." He assured quietly as she ushered him inside the room and closed the door. "I never would have pegged you for a romantic Dr Cooper." Vanessa took the flowers from him just as he leaned down and kissed her, sliding one hand into the back of her hair while the other pulled her close to his body. He kissed her with a weeks' worth of desire, holding her tightly as she abandoned the flowers in her glass of water and slid her hands up his chest, pulling him in closer.

In his 30 years he had imagined what coitus might be like once or twice. At the end of the day he was still a man. Messy, intriguing and scary had come to mind but he never thought it would be so much more than a science experiment. With every touch he felt himself come alive at Vanessa's finger tips and for once in his life he was literally at a loss for words. After a long moment she broke away from his mouth, breathing heavily as her cool fingers grazed his stomach - working his belt free from its clasp. He stood before her perfectly still, holding his breath as she pulled his belt free and discarded it on the floor.

Vanessa looked up at him slowly; looking at him with wide vulnerable green eyes. "Sheldon," She whispered, causing his heart to nearly jump from his chest. He could only stare as she stood with him in the small hallway, their chests nearly touching, her fingers on the waist of his pants and their hearts exposed to one another. "Are you sure you want to do this?" She finally asked, bracing herself for rejection. It wasn't a secret that Sheldon was a virgin but after spending the day with chatty Penny she had learned that he had no desire to do anything like this with his longtime girlfriend Amy. The last thing she wanted was to be his biggest regret.

"Vanessa," His voice came out a bit broken and heavy with desire. "I've never been surer of anything in my life."

A groan escaped Sheldon as Vanessa kissed him just below his ear, moving her lips to his jaw before finally finding his mouth with hers. She continued to kiss him for several agonizing minutes - leaning forward so their chests touched but her hips remained completely still, causing another low groan to pass between them once she finally began to move.

She pulled away from his kiss just enough to see his intense expression - watching her every move with a look of a broken man on his face. Vanessa smiled, holding herself up by placing her hands gently on his bare chest - grinding her hips against his as he leaned his head back and moaned softly. It was in this one intense moment she realized she could probably ask anything of him and he would do it - no questions asked.

"Vanessa," Sheldon gasped, placing his hands on either side of her hips as she picked up the pace. "V, I'm so close." He groaned, holding her tightly as she leaned back further and cried out softly, biting her bottom lip as her own pleasure took over her body. A moment later Sheldon joined her, clutching her hips as she collapsed on top of him with a gasp. She laid on his chest breathing hard, making those soft little noises he loved as he ran his fingers down her hair and back in a soothing rhythm.

"Sheldon," She turned her head so he could see her beautiful face and he smiled at her, raising an eyebrow as if to ask her to continue. "That was... amazing? Is there a word better than amazing?"

He thought for a minute, never breaking the trance with his fingers on her back. "Astonishing?" Vanessa giggled quietly, closing her eyes with a sigh. "Don't push it." She assured causing him to laugh. "If you don't stop with those fingers we're going to be up all night and I really don't want to look like I spent the night at a sex party at Penny and Leonard's brunch tomorrow."

Sheldon continued running his fingers up and down her spine as her breathing slowly regulated. His roommate was marrying Penny in two days. All of their friends, including Amy who had reconciled with Penny but kept her distance from him, were getting together for brunch in the morning to discuss etiquette for the ceremony. Leave it to Penny to wait another month and change the entire plans for her wedding at the last minute. Her dad who thankfully loved Leonard was flying in to walk her down the aisle along with a few other close family members of the couple.

"That sounds like a great idea actually." He assured with a grin, only to have her finally climb over him to gather her clothes. Sheldon did the same and after a minute they found themselves lying beside one another in his small bed. "I've created a monster." V stated with a laugh, finding his hand and linking their fingers in the dark as he wrapped a protective arm around her and they drifted off to sleep.

"V! I'm so glad you could make it!" Penny beamed as Vanessa and Sheldon entered the beautifully decorated villa; hugging her newest friend tightly. "You look beautiful like always." V assured as Sheldon hugged his friend. "Aw! Thank you. Isn't this beautiful? They really decorated it just like I wanted!"

Vanessa looked around the room, tiny white candles floated in glass and purple center pieces on each table where Howard, Bernie, Raj, Emily, Amy, Leonard and family gathered. It was beautiful.

"Amy's promised to be on her best behavior. She even brought a date. An intern from her bio lab. His names Ian." Penny assured with a tight smile, ushering them over to the table quickly. "Hi everyone." Sheldon greeted, while Vanessa just gave them a shy wave. This obviously wasn't something he wanted to be doing but for Leonard and Penny he would endure.

"Sheldon. This is Ian." Amy stated quickly, trying not to glare at Vanessa as her tall, awkward date greeted them. "Hello Ian. Penny tells me you're a Biology intern at Amy's work place. It is a fascinating career indeed."

Amy grinned as Sheldon and Vanessa joined them at the table. "I'm really excited to get started. Monday we'll be dissecting the brain of a pig that apparently died from a heat stroke." Ian assured, causing the others to frown at the mention of dissecting animals over brunch. "Fascinating." Sheldon said with a forced smile, turning his attention to Vanessa.

"Would you like something to drink?"

She nodded, "Surprise me."

Once Sheldon was gone Amy sank her claws into Vanessa, "So. V? Is it? What exactly do you do in Nevada?" Vanessa looked around the table - she had spent several weekends with Sheldon's friends and they all knew quite a bit about her and her love for cooking. She also knew that Amy had got every bit of information on her from Penny so no one really knew why she was asking an obvious question. "I'm studying to become a chef. Right now I work at a local restaurant part time as their short order cook."

Amy just smiled, causing even more awkwardness. "A short order cook. Well, that's nice." Sheldon returned to the table a moment later, causing Amy turn her attention back to him. "How's the relationship agreement going? It takes a while to get used to." V looked at Sheldon then back to Amy. Relationship Agreement? "What's that?" She asked innocently, adding a smile to drive it home. Penny had also told her about the ridiculous relationship agreement that Sheldon had wrote up for his last relationship. He had never mentioned one to her so she assumed he didn't want nor need one to be with her but had he she would have quickly put him in his place about it. Sheldon just shrugged. He had never considered a relationship agreement with Vanessa. "Seriously?!" Amy yelled, causing everyone at the table to finish up their food quickly. This was supposed to be a day to celebrate Penny and Leonard's love not harp on failed romances. Once they ate the group broke up to mingle amongst Penny and Leonard's families yet somehow Amy and Ian found them back in Sheldon's presence.

"I've come pretty far in my ape studies since we talked last Sheldon. Henry is recovering quite well from his heart cath and that virology scare we had last year."

Sheldon forced a smile towards Amy as Vanessa slipped in beside him and placed her hand in his, touching his shoulder slightly. "I hate to interrupt but Leonard's mother wants to say hello. She told me to find you and well, she's a little scary." She stated with a laugh, causing Sheldon to turn in Leonard's direction. "She is scary but delightful." He assured with a genuine smile.

"We were just talking about virology and its involvement with sociobiology." Amy assured as Leonard's mother walked over and began a conversation with Sheldon. "Oh," V said quietly - not real sure what either of those words meant. Amy laughed suddenly, obviously at Vanessa - causing Sheldon and Penny to turn their attention towards them.

"How long do you really think this - whatever this is between you two - will last before Sheldon realizes you can't keep up with him on an intellectual level?" Amy asked suddenly, "No relationship can thrive off movie quotes and superhero references forever."

Vanessa took a step back as if Amy had slapped her in the face.

"Amy Farrah Fowler!" Penny yelled, storming towards the two from across the room. Vanessa put her hand up, assuring Penny that it was alright. She turned towards Amy and smiled, her bright green eyes sparkling as the taller biologist stared at her - waiting for a response. "It's alright, Penny. Amy's right." Penny looked at V with a frown. Amy wasn't right. She was the best thing that had ever happened to Sheldon Cooper and everyone knew it. He might be smarter than her but he was smarter than everyone. That wasn't really something you could compare. Vanessa leaned towards Amy so only Penny, Sheldon and maybe Leonard's mom could hear.

"I guess when we run out of things to talk about we'll just have to fuck. A lot." Vanessa stated quietly, grinning as Amy's face turned bright red and her eyes narrowed at the thought. It had been a low blow but she asked for it. Penny suddenly burst out laughing, causing Amy to glare at her as well. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry... that was just... the best thing she could have said in her defense." She assured, covering her mouth as another laugh escaped her.
