A/N: Okay I am sorry I left some of you hanging with that last chapter but like I said the words were getting away from me so I decided to split it up into two. This one is considerably shorter but very powerful. Some of you loved the bit of angst Emily caused. I just want to say in my mind things between Sheldon and Amy are great. Just because we didn't see it on the show does not mean they didn't have a long talk about him running away without saying goodbye. I think all the extra dates made up for it. He never would have made up a date 2 years ago.
Anyway thank you so much to all my reviewers and followers. It means so much to me. I didn't want to leave you hanging for too long so we will go back to Aspen in chapter 13. But we are getting to the end of the weekend.
So this chapter is pure Shamy...a much needed conversation is about to take place. Enjoy!
I don't own it.
She figured she might as well get it over with and knocked.
"Sheldon?" Amy said. "Can I come in?"
"I don't want to talk right now." He answered her.
"Open this door right now. We are going to talk about this whether you like it or not." She replied.
He opened the door and saw a very angry looking Amy.
"I am not sure what you want me to say." He said to her.
"Then don't say anything and listen."
"Well I am not sure how you are going to try and make this better. You lied to me." He said.
"You're right I did. But I am not going to apologize for doing it." She answered right back. He opened his mouth to say something but she stopped him. "Yes you heard me. I will not apologize but I will explain my reasoning."
"Okay so what do you want to say?" Sheldon asked her.
"I lied to you about Stuart because I didn't want to make things bad with him and you."
"I don't get it."
"The night you asked me to be your girlfriend, Stuart brought me home. You were waiting in my apartment with the relationship agreement. I know you were spying on us after you made yourself known."
"I was not."
"Sheldon, stop lying. You are terrible at it."
"Fine I was. But that still doesn't explain why you didn't tell me you kissed him."
"Stuart hugged me that night. You yelled to him 'the lady said goodnight take the hint' to him after the hug. You were angry about a hug. I couldn't imagine what you would have been like if he had kissed me on the cheek. Oh wait I do, you may have karate chopped him in the shoulder."
"What makes you think I would do that?"
"Because you did it to Leonard." She answered.
"How do you know I did that to him?" He asked.
"Leonard told me. I emailed him the next day. I thought he was falling for me after he gave me a kiss on the cheek. It turns out I was wrong about that but that is beside the point. He told me that you hit him after you misunderstood about his groin injury. You hit your best friend because you thought we slept together. I can't imagine what you would have done to Stuart who actually did kiss me."
"I would not have been happy with him."
"You mean like how happy he was with you?" Amy asked him.
"What do you mean by that?" He asked her.
"Let's think about this, Sheldon. You are an intelligent man. Let's say you and I were out on a date, prior to the relationship agreement, and another man interrupts that date to change the paradigm of the relationship I had with him, what do you think you would have done?"
"I guess it would depend on your answer." He answered truthfully.
"I became this man's girlfriend." She said.
"I would not be happy with either you or the other man. How dare he interrupt a date to ask you to be his girlfriend." Sheldon stopped for a minute. "Oh I think I know what you are saying. Stuart was not happy with me."
"Exactly." She said.
"So you kept it a secret that he kissed you to make it easier on me?" He asked.
"Well I did it for both you and Stuart. Stuart forgave you after I talked to him."
"What did you say?"
"I explained that while I had a great time with him, I never saw it going that far. He wasn't happy with me either. I mean I said yes to you while I was on a date with him."
"Yeah, I understand that. I think I get why you kept this from me but it still hurts." Sheldon said softly.
"I know. But again, I will not apologize. I thought if you never knew it would be better."
"I think it would have been."
"I am sorry you found out the way you did though. If you were going to find out it should have been from me. I actually never wanted anyone to know." She said.
"So how did Emily find out?" He asked curiously
"Girl's night the other night. We were talking about how I went out with Stuart to make you jealous. I kind of mentioned that he was a good kisser." Amy saw the look on his face. "Not as good as you though." She amended.
Sheldon just smiled at her.
"So you told the girls just the other night?" He asked.
"Yes so you can see I kept it a secret even from Penny. It is probably good this came out now. Penny can't keep a secret to save her life, she would have told you. I am sure Leonard knows by now."
"I am sure you are right. So there is nothing else I need to know about your past? Anybody else you kissed or did anything else with I should know about?"
"Sheldon, that is a conversation I absolutely would have had with you. There is no way I would ever lie about that." She started to get angry. "I can't believe you would even think that about me."
"I don't, I didn't. I….." He stuttered. "I'm sorry. I don't know what I was thinking asking that question. You would never lie about something that important to you." He said.
"I forgive your misguided question." She said.
"Good." He sighed. He had not been thinking. They had the conversation about sex long ago. Recently, however, he was thinking they should have the conversation again. There were things that needed to be discussed.
"Sheldon are we good now?" She asked. She was afraid he was still upset.
"Yeah, I am sorry I overreacted. I just don't like the fact that you have a past."
"I have a past when it comes to kissing, nothing else. If and when that does happen with us it will be a first for both of us." She said.
"When." He stated.
"What?" She was confused.
"You said if and when. It's not if, it is when." He tried to make her understand.
"Oh." She said. The reality of what he said hit her. He was basically telling her that they were going to have sex.
"Yeah. So it's getting late."
"You're right, we should get ready for bed." She said.
"Um, Amy?" He asked.
"Yes." She said.
"This was a fight, right?"
"Yes."
"So do you think we should kiss and make up?" He asked.
"I think that is a reasonable request." She answered.
He leaned in and kissed her. This was not like any kiss they had experienced together. It had such passion. They just held onto each other as if they couldn't get enough. The next thing they knew they were lying down on the bed and still had not let up for breath. Sheldon moved his hands from where they were to his new favorite place on her body. He gave her breasts a tentative squeeze and she responded by moaning into his mouth. He took that as the okay to continue and slowly started to unzip her dress. They had to momentarily stop kissing for her to sit up to get the dress off. Sheldon went right back to kissing her and caressing her when her senses caught up to her.
"Wait." She said pulling away. Without realizing it, they both had just their underpants left on. Neither remembered removing any other clothing besides the dress.
"What?" He asked.
"Is this how we want our first time to be? Because we fought?" She asked.
"Do you want to stop?" He asked her.
"I don't want to, no, but are we doing this for the right reasons? I mean we just had a huge fight because you got jealous over a kiss. Then you tell me it isn't a matter of if but when. We kiss to make up and all of a sudden we are mostly naked in bed together. I am sorry but I think this is a bit too much for tonight. We both said some things tonight that upset the other. I don't think make up sex is what our first time should be about."
"Perhaps you are right." He said to her.
"You know I am. So why don't we get ready for bed and we can start new tomorrow."
"I hope you don't mean starting over." He said.
"Of course not. I mean that I don't want the most special thing that will happen to us to happen because of anger. I want it out of love."
"I do too." He said.
"Good now you go to the bathroom first." She said.
"Oh wait, I almost forgot." He said pulling something out of his dresser. "I picked these up while I was at the mall today." He said handing her a bag.
"What is this?" She asked.
"Something I heard you do when you are dating someone. Open it."
She opened the bag and pulled out a pair of pajamas. They had koalas on the pants and a white shirt that matched. She also pulled out a larger pair that had red pants with a white shirt that matched. "Are these matching pajamas?"
"Well yes. I heard that sometimes couples wear matching pajamas when they sleep in the same bed together. I got us two pairs each. One with koalas and one with monkeys." He said.
"I love them." She said and she kissed him again. "Now go change."
He went into the bathroom while she changed into the koala pajamas. She never thought Sheldon would be the type of guy that would wear matching anything. She went into the bathroom after he was complete and came out to find him already lying down in bed. She climbed in on her side and rolled on her right. Sheldon moved over slightly and pulled her in close.
"Goodnight, Amy." He said and gave her a gentle kiss.
"Goodnight." She said.
"I love you."
"I love you too." She said back and settled in for the night.
Okay so yeah, I do think they may make it all the way before the end of this story...maybe the next morning. But I did not want the first time to be make up sex. I hope you all understand. We will get back to them and Rajily in chapter 14. Next up, skiing in Aspen. Oh now that should be fun.
