Chapter 14

Amy helped Sheldon shower and they made out a little while they washed each other, but as he was too inebriated to stand still, she thought maybe it would be better if they finish it and go straight to bed. She couldn't stop thinking anyway about what he told her earlier. Would he really want her to move in with him? Or was it just something his drunk self let slip? She was so confused. Should she ask him about it later? Or would she scare him away again like she did before he left on a train? She knew that she couldn't ask him while he was still drunk, and with all those thoughts in her mind she was really not in the mood of anything else at the moment. She turned off the tap and grabbed the towels, wrapping them around him and herself.

"Are we finished?"

"Yes, Sheldon, it's time to go to bed."

"But we haven't made whoopie." He looked down at her, raising his eyebrows.

She couldn't help but laugh at how sexy he looked like when he was drunk. But she decided to show him she was serious about it. So she tried hard to hide her smile and helped him get dry.

"Come on, Sheldon, chop-chop! Let's finish this and go to bed."

"Ok, if you say so."

About fifteen minutes later they were both lying down in bed together. It didn't take long for Sheldon to fall asleep and Amy was tired as well. She cuddled with him, resting her head on his chest, and soon she dozed off.

Sheldon opened his eyes and saw Amy lying on his chest. He pulled her closer, kissing her forehead. 'George is right, she is a keeper.' He thought, remembering the conversation he had with his brother and Ron that afternoon. His head hurt a lot, but he knew it was consequence of those beers they shared the day before. 'I should find a painkiller soon, otherwise my head might explode... Even though it's physically impossible.'

He moved Amy slowly to her side, and quietly opened the door and left the room. As he walked down the stairs, he saw the light of the living room was on.

"Ron?"

The voice startled the middle-aged man, who was sitting on the armchair with a little box in his hand.

"Oh hey, Sheldon, I haven't seen you coming."

"Why are you still awake at 3 am?"

"Well.. It's just that I'm too excited about tomorrow... I was thinking about the words I will say to Mary, and I couldn't decide yet on the best way of telling her it all... I mean, I want her to know why I'm doing this."

"I see. Can I make you a hot beverage?"

"I could have some tea."

They walked to the kitchen, and while Sheldon picked up the kettle Ron sat by the table and took out the ring from the box, staring at it.

"Do you think she'll like it?"

Sheldon left the kettle in the stove and came closer to him, gently picking it up in his hands. The golden ring was thin and neat, with three delicate tiny diamonds encrusted in a row, slightly spaced.

"I'm pretty sure she will love it."

"I hope she will, buddy."

He still had the ring on his palm, analyzing it like a complex equation. After a while he spoke again.

"I wonder if someday I will find the perfect one to give Amy."

"You will. Have you gotten any plans already?"

"Not really, I just wanted to take it slow, there's no need in rushing things now. Look at us, in less than a week we changed our relationship completely. I want us to enjoy these moments, but I also don't want to lose her."

"You won't lose her, Sheldon. I told you that already."

"How could you possibly know that?"

"Of course it will all depend on both of you, Sheldon. But you may need to reassure her about your intentions. Don't let her think that things are not moving on. Besides, you're both still young, you have plenty of time."

"I guess you're right." He placed the ring back in the tiny box before continuing. "I asked her to move in with me last night, but I think she didn't give me any credit because of my inebriate state."

"Oh, right, I forgot about that. Are you ok?"

"No, I have a terrible headache."

"Well, let me make you some strong coffee instead of tea. I guess it will be good for you."

Sheldon pondered for a while, he didn't like coffee.

"Are you sure?"

"Just trust me, I know what I'm talking about." Ron stood up and winked at Sheldon, then he grabbed the coffee powder from a cabinet.

He sat on a chair and waited for Ron to prepare the brew, as he took the ring again in his hands and started wondering about how it would be to propose to Amy. 'It can't be that hard, Leonard did it... Even Howard did it...' But he was sure he would beat Raj on that. 'Yeah, Raj, you'll be the one to be engaged after Sheldon Cooper.'

"Sheldon?"

He looked up and saw Ron offering him the cup of coffee.

"Thank you, Ron."

"My pleasure. I hope it will make you feel better. Well, would you mind if I leave you here? A few ideas popped up in my head while I was making you coffee, I need to write them down so I won't forget them."

"Oh, ok, good night, Ron."

"Amy, you have to wake up!"

Amy noticed Sheldon sitting beside her on the bed and felt his hands around her waist. She opened her eyes lazily, figuring the room was still dark.

"Hmmm... Sheldon... What time is omphf-"

She was struck by a quite passionate Sheldon, kissing her hard on the mouth, his hands finding their way under her nightgown, wandering all over her body. He trailed kisses from her mouth to her neck, while his hand played with the hem of her nightgown, lifting it up slowly.

"Sheldon... What's up with you? Not that I'm complaining!"

"You wanted me sober so we could make whoopie, so, here I am, more than lucid!"

"Wait... Did I taste coffee in your mouth?"

He paused for a moment, staring deeply at her eyes.

"Yes, Ron made me coffee, he said it would do me good."

"Oh God, I bet it did!"

His mouth captured hers again, his tongue playfully suckling her bottom lip. He felt her fingers caressing his nape, which drove him mad, awakening his animalistic self. In a swift movement he removed her nightgown, followed by his own shirt, both falling carelessly on the floor. He hovered over her, his whole weight leaning on hers, his knee pressing her legs apart. His hands found the band of her panties, tugging it down to set her free. She mirrored his actions in his pants and briefs, and soon after their nude bodies collided.

"You should have coffee more often!" Amy said between kisses.

"Oh, I'm not even started!"

His mouth draw a path of kisses from her neck down to her chest, his tongue meeting her nipple, which made her moan. He moved then to the other one, while her hands held his shoulders tightly. Amy felt his hand slipping from her breast down to her navel, with such an intensity it seemed to burn. Suddenly it stopped, and he looked up at her.

"I wanna try something, and if I'm right it's another thing I'll excel at."

She saw him lowering his head when she realized what he was talking about.

"Sheldon! Are you out of your mind?" Her mouth dropped open as she saw her germaphobe boyfriend's head moving between her legs. He looked up at her, with a devilish smile in his face.

"Are you ready?"

"Oh God!"

Amy threw her head back as she felt his lips brushing her skin, his hot breath sending shivers to her spine. When his tongue finally touched her, she thought she was going to die right there. She bit her hand in order not to scream in pleasure, while her engaging lover slowly killed her with his precise and continuous movements. She almost couldn't hold it anymore as he slid a finger inside of her, moving in and out, in rhythm with his mouth. Seconds later her body convulsed, pleading him to stop.

"Sheldon... Please stop!"

"Now that it's getting good?"

She couldn't hold it anymore and let out a loud moan, as he held her hips in place and slowed his movements down to an agonizing flow.

"Sheldon.. If.. you don't stop... I'll faint..."

He licked her one last time, withdrawing his finger, and looked up at her face with proud eyes.

"Was I that good?"

"Better than you could ever imagine."

"I knew it!" He lifted his body to lie down beside her, his fingers slightly touching her stomach.

When Amy could breathe normally again, she turned to her side, facing him, and saw that he had a large smile on his face.

"Sheldon!"

"Am I a sex God or what?"

"Definitely."

He pulled her closer to a kiss, lowering his hand to her buttocks, giving it a little squeeze. He felt her hands going down as well, searching for his erection, enveloping it and moving up and down in firm but gentle strokes.

"Hmmm... Amy... I see you're ready to continue."

She gave him a provocative peck on the lips, which made him remove her hands from him, turning her around to lie on her stomach. He dragged his fingers up on her spine, reaching her neck, bringing his mouth to her ear, while he positioned himself above her. She spread her legs a bit to accommodate him, which he thanked with little kisses going down her neck and shoulder. He picked up a condom from his drawer and quickly put it on, before propping himself on his left arm, using his right hand to help him find his way inside of her. When he finally reached it, he sank his face on her neck, slowly getting in. For every thrust he whispered something in her ear and she nodded in response.

"You're beautiful..."

"Your body is amazing..."

"I love you..."

"Please, never leave me..."

Sheldon stopped his motions for a while, still inside, kissing her mouth passionately, and when he broke the kiss he looked deep into her eyes.

"Move in with me?"

"Are you sure?"

"More than ever."

"Then yes, I move in with you."

He kissed her deeply, starting his movements all over again, increasing the speed, feeling her body tremble under his with pleasure. After he felt her climax, he continued to thrust a while until he released inside, his body collapsing on her. They stayed in that position for some time. He started to comb her hair with his fingers, reaching for her mouth to share a passionate kiss.

When he felt he was too heavy to be on top of her, he moved away, letting her turn around. They cuddled in bed, waiting for their heartbeats to return to their normal speed.

"So, you really meant it yesterday when you asked me to move in with you?"

"Of course!"

"Oh, Sheldon, you make me so happy!"

"And so do you."

He pulled her closer for a kiss, slowly moving his body again on top of her.

"What are you doing?"

"Round two, little lady! I'm still very awake!"

"Oh dear God!"

"I don't know why you're so surprised, this is just a preview! There will be much more when we move in together!"

Amy slowly opened her eyes, which hurt with the luminosity of the sunrays shining through the window. She wondered whether she had had an amazing dream or if Sheldon really had woken her up in the middle of the night to make love.

"Good morning, Amy."

She felt him pressing against her body, confirming they were both naked and that it had all been real. Very real.

"Did you sleep well?"

"Yes, I still can't believe what happened in the middle of the night."

He pulled her closer, whispering near her ear. "Oh, you can be sure of that, it was pretty much real."

"Hmmmm... If that was a dream I wouldn't like to wake up... Ever!" She turned her head to plant a kiss on his mouth, which he eagerly accepted, greeting her with his tongue.

"And you, did you sleep well?"

"Oh, no, I couldn't sleep at all."

"Really? Does a cup of coffee do all this to you?"

"Yes, the last time I drank coffee I couldn't sleep for two days!"

"Oh my God! Two days? Sheldon, we have a very long day ahead, you need to be rested!"

"I know, I'm already tired, you wore me out, woman! Not that I'm complaining..."

As it was still early, they spent the next hour in bed. Amy offered him a relaxing massage, which helped him to feel better. He was still tired, but very awake. The couple decided to get dressed and go downstairs to have breakfast. They were greeted by an exhausted Ron, who probably hadn't slept much either.

"Morning, Ron."

"Mornin', y'all! Have ya guys slept well?"

"I haven't slept after you gave me coffee."

"Really? How much did you drink?"

"Just a cup."

"Wow, I didn't know you were so vulnerable to caffeine."

"That's fine. It was not a problem at all." He winked to Amy, making her blush a little.

"I prepared a few things for our breakfast, let's have a sit and eat. We still have a few things to do before I go to the hospital to bring Mary home after lunch."

"I hope they get here on time."

"Sheldon, relax, we are not behind schedule. They will be here on time."

"How can you be so sure? What if they missed the flight? What if the weather conditions delayed the take-off? What if Howard hit on the flight attendant and they were kicked off the plane?"

"I'm sure they wouldn't miss the flight, and you checked the weather forecast before we left and it's a bright sunny day both here and in LA, and Howard is married for God's sake!"

It was a long drive from Galveston to Houston, Amy needing to reassure Sheldon from time to time to say things were going to be ok. When they finally arrived at the airport, Amy found a place to park and they waited for the gang to arrive. It didn't take much until they saw Penny and Leonard leaving the gate with Bernie, Howard, Raj and Emily following them. Amy waved at the girls, who ran to greet and hug her.

"Bestie!"

"Oh, Amy, I missed you so much!"

"Me too, Bernie"

"Ames, you look great! I told you to take the green dress with you! You are gorgeous!"

"Thank you!"

While the girls kissed and hugged, Sheldon greeted the boys in a very gentlemanly way, with man hugs and little pats on the back.

"Howard, I told you not to dress up as a cowboy again!"

"Oh, that is because I have a surprise. I brought my keyboard with me!"

Sheldon sighed. "My mother doesn't like Neil Diamond."

"But she likes Willie Nelson, right?"

"How do you know that?"

"You're not the only person who has a good memory, Sheldon." He winked at his friend, nudging him in the arm."

"Good memory? People who play 'Wheel of fortune' has a good memory. I have an eidetic memory."

Leonard came closer to Howard and teased him.

"I bet you don't miss him that much anymore, right?"

Amy and Sheldon gave Bernie and Howard a ride back to Mary's house, while Leonard rented a car to drive the rest of the gang. They arrived back just before lunchtime, finding Missy and George making the last arrangements.

"Hey Penny! You look great with that pixie cut!"

"Hi Missy! It's been such a long time!"

"Mademoiselle." Howard greeted her. "This is Bernadette, my wife."

"Oh, who would say you could ever catch such a pretty woman for yourself!"

"Hey Missy!"

"Oh, Raj, Poor Thing, are you drunk so early?"

"No, I can speak to woman now. And I also brought my girlfriend with me, this is Emily."

"Wow, you guys have changed a lot since I last saw you! Even Leonard is engaged! Congratulations!"

"And where's Meemaw, Moon Pie?"

"Penny, only Meemaw can call me Moon Pie. How many times do I have to remind you that? And answering your question, she's helping Ron to pick up my mother's things at the hospital and they are all coming together."

"Great! I can't wait to meet her!"

"Hello y'all! Hey Shelly, won't ya introduce your friends to your older brother?"

"Of course, guys, this is my brother George. George, this is Dr. Rajesh Koothrappali and beside him is his girlfriend Dr. Emily Sweeney. Over there is Dr. Leonard Hofstadter, with his fiancée Penny. Here is Mr. Wolowitz with his wife, Dr. Bernadette Rostenkowski-Wolowitz. Boy, I'm tired." Sheldon sighed, needing a moment to sit.

"Wow, I never saw so many smart people together!"

As they all still had some time to spare before everybody else arrived, Missy and Amy showed the girls around the house while Sheldon helped the guys to place the luggage in his room.

"I can't believe I'm leaving this hospital! Thanks to the Lord for His goodness!"

"Is everything here, Mary?"

"I guess it is, mother. Ron, did you bring the present for Dr. Millard?"

"Yes, it's right here. With a blue ribbon, just as you like it."

"Perfect! Thank you! She will probably be here anytime now. I'm hungry, I could eat something... Would you pick something up for me to chew before I go home, darling?"

"Sure! I'll be right back."

While Ron went to the cafeteria to buy Mary something to eat (nothing big, she would be having lunch soon anyway), Dr. Millard stopped by at Mary's room to give her the last recommendations.

"Besides that, Mrs. Cooper, I should just remind you that alcohol is to be avoided for the following two months, as long as you're still taking your pills. You may have a cup of wine once a week if you like, though, but not two hours before you take the medicine."

"Oh, I believe that it won't be a problem, I hardly ever drink."

"Oh, Mary, you might want to celebrate your return home, right?" Meemaw blinked at her.

"I guess... Oh, Ron, you're back! Just in time to give Dr. Millard a farewell."

"Thank you for everything, Dr. Millard. We really appreciate all of your effort during the past weeks."

"I'm glad everything is fine with Mrs. Cooper now. Well, I should get going, I still have other patients to look after. Have a nice return home, and I see you in fifteen days for our check-up, all right?"

"Sure, Dr. Millard. Thanks again! And here's a little something for you, just to show you how much I'm grateful for your care."

"Oh, thanks a lot, Mrs. Cooper! I didn't expect anything! Oh... The Holy Bible... Thanks! It's always great to have God with us, right?"

Ron carried all the bags to the car, while Meemaw helped Mary pulling the wheelchair until the hospital entrance.

"I don't know why this ridiculous idea of carrying me in a wheelchair, I was perfectly fine for walking!"

"Mary, don't be a pain in the ass, rules are rules!"

She scoffed, standing up carefully from the wheelchair. "See? Perfectly fine!"

"Oh, come on, Mary, Ron is arriving with the car."

Mary entered in the front seat while Ron helped Meemaw into the backseat.

"Mary, I bought you a cookie for you to chew during our journey back home."

"A cookie? Are you feeding Phillip or a grown woman? This is no food."

"Eat the damn cookie, Mary! We'll have lunch when we get home."

Ron tried to hide a chuckle as he heard Meemaw scolding Mary as if she was a naughty child. He patted her hand which was resting on her knee and watched her devouring the cookie in a few bites. The hospital was not far from Mary's house, and in twenty minutes they arrived home. Mary saw smoke coming from the backyard, and frowned her eyebrows.

"Ron, is anybody making barbecue?"

"Yeah, I guess George said something about it."

The three of them got out of the car, walking to the entrance. It was really quiet, but when Mary opened the door, she couldn't believe her eyes.
