Thanks for reviews on last chapter, glad you all liked it
The following weekend was Emily's party and it had been moved to Saturday, Amy and Sheldon enjoyed Friday evening on their own together and on Saturday morning Amy helped Sheldon with his laundry and then they got dressed for the party, Amy had brought her swimming costume knowing it was a pool party
"Right are you ready to go? Asked Sheldon joining Amy in the lounge, he was wearing his grey suit that Amy liked on him
"Yes, but as I would like to have a drink, I am not driving so I have ordered a taxi and by the way looking good Dr Cooper" replied Amy standing up from the sofa and straightening Sheldon's tie
"Thank you" replied Sheldon gulping as Amy's very touch caused a tightening in his pants, Amy reached up to give him a quick kiss as her phone beeped
"Taxi is here, Leonard and Penny are sharing with us, come on lets go"
"Amy remember I can't be like other people being affectionate with my girlfriend in front of other people so please don't be upset if I don't do any of that tonight"
"It's ok Sheldon, I understand" replied Amy leaving the apartment, she knocked on 4b and they followed her down to the taxi
Raj and Emily had only recently moved into their new house, it was situated in an expensive area of Pasadena but Raj and Emily had been able to buy it thanks to a generous donation from both Emily and Rajs parents, they were shown in to the house and through to the garden where Raj was cooking the food on the BBQ
"Thanks for coming, help yourself to anything you like" said Raj when he saw them
"Thanks, I might have a dip in the pool, Penny are you joining me? Asked Amy
"Sure, is there anywhere we can get changed? Asked Penny to Raj
"Yes you can use the spare room downstairs its next to the kitchen"
Amy and Penny changed into swimsuits, Penny had gone with a two piece set which when Leonard saw her, meant he couldn't keep; his eyes off her and Amy was wearing a blue flowery patterned full suit, she entered the pool and swam a few lengths on her own before joining Sheldon who was talking with Leonard, Raj and Howard, Amy noted that Sheldon was refusing to look at her and wondered what was wrong, shrugging she went to get a drink and joined Penny, Bernadette and Emily in conversation
"Have you and Sheldon had an argument? Asked Bernadette
"No but he's being weird, I know that much" replied Amy glancing over to see Sheldon watching her
"Maybe it's because you are wearing not very much, its not often he gets to see that in you" suggested Emily
"Maybe but then all of you are wearing less than I am and he's not avoiding talking to you"
"Leave him be then, he will come to you when he wants you" replied Bernadette
"He does fancy you after all Amy, he's in avoidance at the moment" suggested Penny
"Shall we go and swim just to wind him up? Asked Amy
"Come on then but swim to enjoy yourself, don't let Sheldon dictate your mood" replied Penny
The girls instead of the pool went and sat in the hot tub, they were soon joined by their partners, except for Sheldon who stood awkwardly next to it
"Sheldon are you coming in? Asked Amy
"No its fine"
"I could do with another drink, be back shortly" said Amy climbing out of the tub and going to get a drink from the fridge, Sheldon followed her in
"Amy you do know I'm not ignoring don't you?
"Well it seems that way but it doesn't matter" replied Amy pouring herself a glass of wine
Sheldon glanced behind him nervously to see if anybody was watching and then took Amy to the front of the house out of sight of everybody
"What's wrong? Asked Amy
"You are driving me crazy, I am doing my best to keep control of my body functions but it's not helping when you are wearing next to nothing" replied Sheldon looking Amy up and down, Amy felt a shiver run through her body at the look he was giving her
"Well, what are you going to do about it then" Amy placed her hands under Sheldon's shirt and drew circles around his nipples
"I told you, we can only be intimate in the privacy our my apartment" said Sheldon not moving
"This is fairly intimate right now" commented Amy as she moved her hands down his belly and stopping at his pants, she looked up at Sheldon who had closed his eyes, seemingly enjoying her touch
"Don't stop" mumbled Sheldon before he kissed her hard on the mouth, Amy's hand was in the way and "accidentally" met his erection causing Sheldon to groan in her mouth as they kissed
"Everything ok, oh sorry" said Emily backing out of the room at the sight of Shamy kissing
"This is why we need privacy" grumbled Sheldon
"We can wait until our goodnight kiss" replied Amy taking his hand and leading him to the garden
"Sorry for interrupting back there" said Emily as Amy joined them back in the hot tub
"Its ok, Sheldon was just telling me that I am driving him crazy" Amy watched Sheldon come out of the lounge and join Leonard and Howard talking
"Yes I could see, Amy you go girl"
"I don't think that's a good idea, I am trying to give him the time he needs to adjust to the physical side and don't want to push him"
"Amy he is clearly smitten with you, just go for it" encouraged Penny
"I will see if he wants to join me in here"
"We will go in the pool out of your way, go on ask him" said Penny
Amy called Sheldon over as the girls got out and he agreed to get in, he was wearing his swimming shorts under his suit so stripped off in front of Amy, she took in his torso and gulped at how fit he was looking and his long legs, Sheldon climbed in and they rested awkwardly next to each other
"See its not so bad is it" said Amy taking a sip of her drink
"No its fine" replied Sheldon
As everybody else was in the pool they didn't notice Sheldon press against Amy and kiss her very quickly
"That was nice"
"Good, now I cannot do anymore with all these people around, you know that don't you?
"Of course, we can make up for that when we get home" replied Amy smiling at him
They got out together and joined everybody else in the pool and those sitting around the pool, Amy had a few drinks but she wasn't drinking to get drunk, she was merry though and very happy with her current life situation, just after midnight Raj let off fireworks to celebrate the arrival of Emily's birthday and they sang Happy Birthday to her, eventually at around 3am, everybody left the party and once Amy and Sheldon arrived back home, both were too tired to do anything than give each other a quick peck and go to bed
Sheldon was the first up although it was late when woke up and already past 11am, he had a shower and got dressed and made himself some tea, Amy emerged at this time and joined him
"Morning how are you feeling?
"Fine, I have a dry mouth from drinking too much though, great party though"
"It was, I am going to the comic book store shortly will you be ok to drive me?
"Of course, let me go and shower and then we can go"
Much later, Sheldon had cooked dinner for himself and Amy and once they were sat at the kitchen bench opposite each other and eating, he asked Amy a question
"How much notice do you have to give on your apartment?
"A month, why? Asked Amy taking a sip of water
"Maybe tomorrow you can hand your notice in then" replied Sheldon
Amy choked on her drink and once she recovered she looked at Sheldon surprised
"We still have three weeks to go though?
"Yes I know but I don't anticipate any problems, in that three weeks I can draw up a new roommate and relationship agreement"
"Can I suggest something?
"Go ahead"
"I agree to the agreements but if things go well, then we ditch them after one year of living together"
"Amy I need agreements to help run my life smoothly"
"Sheldon I would still drive you to work and other places without an agreement and I will still respect your schedule without an agreement, just trust me on this one"
"I will think about it and that's the best answer I can give right now"
"Ok and also the sleeping arrangements" started Amy before Sheldon interrupted
"They will stay the same for now, but I have been thinking about your sleepover suggestion and I think next weekend we can try it on Saturday night, just to see how it goes and there will be rules regarding that" said Sheldon
"Oh thank you" Amy jumped up and gave Sheldon a hug and a kiss before going back to her seat
"Also it will only be sleeping, I am not ready for anything else just yet despite my body telling me otherwise" replied Sheldon
"You got it" Amy was pleased at the progress Sheldon was making and wasn't going to push him further
"I am also aware that I don't tell you how much I enjoy kissing you"
"You just told me and that's good enough for me and I'm sure you wouldn't kiss me if you didn't like it" replied Amy
"Is it ridiculous to you that I made you sign an agreement to kissing?
"No not at all, I know you like order and I will respect that" replied Amy smiling at him, the smile gave Sheldon a tightening in his pants and he tried to ignore it
"Thank you, I will allow for flexibility but only in our apartment"
"Sure"
"By the way, I didn't dislike it when you touched my erection yesterday" said Sheldon rather matter of factly making Amy choke on her food this time
"Good to know" said Amy eventually once she stopped coughing
"If you need help with packing all your things up then I will help, I can ask the Leonard as well"
"Thank you that will be helpful and I am glad I asked you to do this, I was a little bit hesitant to do so"
"It makes sense really and not just because I need a driver but because I would prefer to have you close to me than not" replied Sheldon
"Good, perhaps we can buy a house in a couple of years then and keep to the same arrangement of "sleepovers" suggested Amy although she was hoping they would be in the same bed by then
"Leave here? Why would we do that? Asked Sheldon astonished
"Think of all the extra space, we both earn good money to throw money away on renting, so why not"
"Amy you are going to quick for me"
"Sorry one step at a time I know"
"Good, also I think we no longer need to do an assessment as I am pleased with everything"
Amy nodded and they finished their dinner, the next day Amy returned back to her apartment and went to find her landlord who accepted her one months notice and Amy started to box up her smaller things, she was excited that she would be living with her boyfriend
