On Sunday morning Amy went to brunch with Penny and Bernadette, only Penny was at the café when she arrived and she immediately began questioning Amy about what she saw in the laundry room

"Amy I don't want to pry but if you want to talk then I am here for you ok?

"Thank you bestie, but for now Sheldon and I have things covered, we are going along nicely"

"It was a surprise to see you both like that, is he a good kisser? Penny

"I know what you are doing and it's not going to work" replied Amy realising that Penny was trying to fish for details

"Well you looked like you were enjoying yourselves anyway" said Penny as Bernadette appeared and that particular conversation ended

After brunch Amy followed Penny in her car back to the apartment block, she followed her up the stairs and knocked on the door of 4a, Sheldon answered still in his paint ball gear and splattered in paint

"Hi Amy, we got back about 5 minutes ago, come in and wait while I get changed" said Sheldon

"Thank you, bestie you coming in? asked Amy to Penny who was hovering behind her

"Yes, Leonard and I are going out to the movies this afternoon before I have my evening shift" replied Penny walking in

"Leonard is currently in the shower, so take a seat" said Sheldon, he went to the kitchen and busied himself making drinks and bringing them over to Amy and Penny

"Thank you Sheldon" said Amy smiling at him

"Oh stop with the politeness, just kiss him hello already" exclaimed Penny

"Penny, if you wish to stay then please stop with the comments" said Sheldon shaking his head at her

"Don't worry, I have to go and get myself ready for Leonard anyway, bye" replied Penny walking out of the apartment

"Amy I would hug you but I don't want to get paint over you"

"That's ok, we can wait" replied Amy

"Sheldon I am done in the shower" said Leonard exiting the bathroom in a towel and going to this room

"I won't be long" said Sheldon bending down to kiss Amy and going to the bathroom

Twenty minutes later Sheldon was ready, he sat down on the sofa with her and Amy thought he smelled delicious and was having trouble keeping her hands to herself which led to her making a decision

"Shall we go to the Science Museum?

"No we are going to your place where we can go over the schedule, after yesterday I believe that I am ready for more"

"Ready for more? Sheldon we have only had one day of kissing, you had intense feelings when we got too close and jumped away from me, I don't think you are ready for more just yet" replied Amy

"Amy I thought you wanted progress?

"I do but I want to enjoy the stages, I don't want to rush, I am not ready for more and you are not either" replied Amy

"Shall we just go? Asked Sheldon standing up and collecting his bag and putting his laptop in it

"Come on then" said Amy wondering if she had annoyed him, she started to stand up from the sofa

"Wait" Sheldon, he joined her on the sofa and taking in her arms, he kissed her and stroked her face before pulling her up and hugging her, Amy could only look at him smiling at the intensity of the kiss, Sheldon apparently was becoming a quick and skilled kisser

They arrived back at her apartment where Sheldon spoke to Amy

"It seems that after months of me not wanting to do anything physical, I am now racing ahead of you and I realise that and I don't want to force you in to something your not comfortable with, so for now we will continue just kissing and fondling"

"Can we agree that if either of us want to go further we talk about it? Added Amy

"Yes of course"

"Good, now would you like anything to eat or drink? Asked Amy going to the kitchen

"Just water if you have it" replied Sheldon

Amy returned with the water and placed it on the coffee table, she was very aware that just her very presence was causing Sheldon to be aroused for her

"No need to sit down" said Sheldon standing up and leading her to the bedroom

"Are we timing today?

"No lets see how it goes, if we feel overwhelmed then we stop also there are no boundaries" replied Sheldon

Sheldon took her hand and placed it on his erection, Amy cupped it and then gently squeezed it, Sheldon's response was primal at her touch, he made a growling sound and walked Amy backwards to bed where they lay down together and got straight down to kissing, the only noise in the room was of them panting and moaning at each others touch,, Sheldon moved on top of Amy and forgetting about his no grinding rule, he and Amy started to rock against each other, pushing his arousal against her, he lifted her skirt and ran his hands up her legs but stopped short of going any further, Amy scratched his back as he kissed and pressed against her, she then squeezed his butt causing him to moan in delight and kiss her neck before stopping the kiss and staring intently at her

"You ok? Asked Amy when he made no move to kiss her again

"Yes, just enjoying the view" replied Sheldon, Amy blushed and leaned up to start the kiss again, soon they were rolling around the bed, Amy found herself on top of Sheldon, her skirt was ridden up and Sheldon's trousers became rolled down, only his boxers were keeping their genitals apart but it didn't stop them from grinding against each other, Amy took Sheldon's hand and guided it to her knickers

"No Amy I can't not yet" said Sheldon suddenly

"Ok that's fine" replied Amy smiling at him

"Can we stop for a moment?

"Of course" replied Amy she rolled over Sheldon and sat with her back to the headboard, Sheldon joined her and took her hands in his

"I don't want to hide our progress from people, its too hard, pardon the pun" said Sheldon

Amy laughed and kissed him briefly

"We shouldn't have to hide it either, we have proved just now that we can control ourselves when the other takes things a little too far" replied Amy

"Also just because I say we don't have to hide it, doesn't mean we are going to have constant public displays of affection, I will not be comfortable with that" said Sheldon

"I shall let you lead on that Sheldon, also if anybody questions us, just act like its been happening all the time" replied Amy

"I do like that suggestion" said Sheldon

"We can try it out at the Cheesecake Factory on Tuesday then" suggested Amy she dared herself to reach into his trousers and play with his arousal again

"We can indeed" said Sheldon leaning back and closing his eyes in elation at Amy's touch

"Would you like me to continue?

"Yes it feels good" replied Sheldon he opened his eyes and turned to Amy and kissed her again, he ran his hands through her hair and down to her chest and lifting her top, then reaching for her breasts, he started to fondle them, this made him mad with desire as Amy pumped his erection, he kissed her harder, then manoeuvred Amy so she was now under him, he moved against her, lust and desire driving him mad

Bang Bang Bang came from the front door

"Damn! Who is that? Exclaimed Sheldon

"I don't know but sort yourself out, go to the bathroom and I will answer it, you come out of the bathroom and act surprised to see whoever it is" replied Amy getting off the bed and after rearranging her clothing and making sure her hair was ok, went off to answer the door

"Hi there, we are collecting old clothes for charity, would you be interested today? Asked the man showing her his ID card

"Not today thank you" replied Amy going to shut the door

"If you are busy please take our card and think about it" said the man passing her a card

"Thanks" said Amy shutting the door and plonking herself down on the couch, Sheldon reappeared

"Who was it?

"Just some charity collection" replied Amy taking a long drink of her water

"Ok" Sheldon looked at his watch and realised he had some work to do "I have to go, I am a little behind schedule on a project I am working on"

"The one with Kripke?

"Yes" replied Sheldon

"I will drive you back" said Amy looking around for her car keys

"Thank you, I think Thursday for our date we can go to the Science Museum like you said before, I don't want to lose sight of what our entire relationship is about"

"That works for me" replied Amy

"Come here" said Sheldon giving her a hug

"Your good at hugs now Sheldon"

"That's down to you Amy, I wouldn't of been able to do this without your support" replied Sheldon

"That you will always have Sheldon" said Amy picking up her car keys and leading Sheldon out to the car
