CHAPTER 1– GOOD NEWS, AMY!
Knowing that Sheldon was ready for intercourse was very important to Amy! When Bernadette told her that making love was the birthday present Sheldon had in mind, Amy had no doubt that this would be the happiest day of her life. From a young age, she wondered what it would be like to lose her virginity and her head swam with the illusion of being a princess in the arms of Prince Charming. Inspired by medieval storybooks, Amy drew a dozen romantic scenes in her head from which she could glimpse the bedroom by candlelight. Just thinking that her dreams could finally come true made her heart start to beat faster.
After experiencing unlikely love in the person of Sheldon, day and night, Amy patiently endured her boyfriend's inconvenient contracts, but she kept wondering if they would ever take it one step further. The only time she came close to getting a more objective response was the day the group played RPG and Bernadette cast a love spell on her character and Sheldon's character. Amy saw the perfect opportunity present itself before her eyes and she seized it. When Sheldon gently rolled the dice and told her he wasn't ruling out sex in the near future, Amy's hopes rose. Now that Penny and Bernadette had confirmed his plans for your birthday, Amy didn't want to play imagine anymore. She wanted to experience Sheldon's true touch! She wanted to feel his hands roaming every curve of her body and go where he'd never gone before. Amy would love to experience the same sensations her friends feel when they go to bed with their boyfriends. On girls' night, when the subject revolves around physical intimacy, Amy never wanted to confess how much she envied Penny and Bernadette in that regard.
Amy was excited to celebrate her 33rd birthday with Sheldon, and since she'd been preparing since she was a teenager, theoretically she knew everything or almost everything. The truth is that in the nineties almost all the information was false and she was ashamed to pick up the most risqué books from the library. Like Sheldon, she knew the mechanics, but they were both virgins as rosebuds. With renewed agitation, Amy spent the rest of the day thinking about the next day. While Bernadette and Penny had fun at the beauty salon, Amy could only think of one thing: Sheldon! She just couldn't stop smiling inside. And so was your night.
Exactly midnight, the cell phone vibrated on top of the bedside table. The music accompanying the vibration was music intended for Sheldon. Amy chose The Beach Boys after he said the song Darlin reminded him of her. Yes, it was Sheldon! Himself on the other side of the phone screen. A passionate smile bloomed on her lips and lingered as she said "hello" and listened to Sheldon in a huskier voice than usual. He was sleeping too and probably sleepy like she was, but Sheldon had something important that couldn't wait for the sun.
In pajamas and sitting on the bed, Sheldon was also happy to hear Amy's voice. He loved hearing from her anytime, but that wasn't the only reason he called so late. Sheldon wanted to be the first to wish him a happy birthday. Even though he was dying of sleep, he insisted on making this pleasant surprise; a surprise that demonstrated how much relevance she gained in his life, perhaps even more than he ever imagined. And Amy really liked the surprise!
"Amy listen: I know you were sleeping. I'm sorry, but it was for a good reason! I really want you to know how much I care about you and how much I appreciate being your boyfriend. So I took the liberty of waking up her in the middle of the night to say "I love you!"
"Sheldon! I love you too!" Amy's green eyes glistened with emotional tears.
"It's true when you say we need to spend more time together. I think so too! Those weeks when you broke up with me and we were apart I was left without direction. You're always right, Amy! But I don't always agree with you because I'm afraid of disappointing you!"
"Afraid of letting myself down? Why?"
"Yes. You want to spend time with me and I know how domineering I can be. I'm not an easy person. I know, you know too...everyone knows!"
"But I love you anyway!"
"You are a delight, Amy! My favorite candy! You always smooth my life. So how can I not love you?"
Amy sighed. Sheldon may have countless faults, but he always says wonderful things that reach Amy's heart.
"That's all I want you to know." Sheldon said, biting his bottom lip.
"Are you sure? You don't want to say anything else?" Amy began to pant. Chest rose and fell, brows narrowed. She was interested in him talking about his birthday preparations and the anticipation of intercourse.
"Oh, of course!" Sheldon shifted on the bed. Amy too. Both with rapid heartbeats. "Amy?"
"Yes, Sheldon." She felt her entire body shudder as if she had been shocked.
"Happy Birthday!" Sheldon said with his characteristic that bordered on naivety.
Amy's cheeks stopped glowing. This was not what she expected! Her smile dissolved like cold water over her head. Amy realized that Sheldon wasn't exactly the type of person where making love over the phone is a reality. Unfortunately!
"Thanks." She thanked him in dismay. And when Sheldon ended the call, Amy laid her head on the pillow, waiting for the time to fly by.
The day passed lazy, it seemed that the night would never come again. At work, Amy avoided looking at the clock so as not to make herself more anxious. The "foolproof" tactic didn't always work. As a neuroscientist, she knew. That morning was the longest of her life, but at least at lunch she would have the opportunity to speak with Sheldon. That thought helped her wait, a little. Around 11:30 am, with some research in hand, Amy took off her lab coat and left the lab. Five minutes later, she was knocking on Dr. Sheldon Cooper.
Interestingly, he didn't answer the door or his calls. A colleague who was passing through the corridor at that exact moment, when he saw her in front of Dr. Cooper's door decided to help her. Amy was informed that Sheldon left early. The Doctor. Julian saw him leave the building an hour ago. Why didn't Sheldon say anything? Why didn't he bother to pass on a message? Amy was a little disappointed. Despite the small mismatch, as she was already close to the cafeteria, Amy didn't want to waste any more time.
In the cafeteria, Leonard, Howard and Raj said the same thing about Sheldon, when she brought her tray over and sat down with them. Except for the girls, none of them knew about their Sheldon's plans for tonight. They had no idea that Sheldon planned to give Amy his virginity. Amy wasn't sure they knew about plans for her birthday either. Fortunately, the three guys were more interested in the Star Wars premiere!
"We thought Sheldon would only leave work early if he went to the movie premiere, but now that we know he's not going to the movies, we think he's making arrangements for your birthday, Amy!" Raj said. His pair of brown eyes glistening with the idea of throwing a party.
"Yes, it's true, Rajesh." Amy nodded with a sheepish smile. Truth be told, Amy was too embarrassed to find out what they knew about her birthday present. It was common knowledge that both she and Sheldon had never been with other people in bed, yet Amy didn't want to bring it up, not with them.
"Sheldon is preparing your birthday with all the care in the world, Amy!" watched Leonard and then added that he had never seen his best friend behave this way: "He really loves you and there is no longer any doubt about that!"
