Sheldon walked into 4A and stood in thought. He tried to think where Amy could have gone, but drew a blank. He knew she was smart enough not to walk alone at night, but her purse was still at Penny's. There was no time to call a cab.
He walked to the window to contemplate. He looked out towards the parking lot and saw Amy's car parked there. Suddenly he knew where she was and quickly grabbed his jacket before he hurried out the door.
When he got to the roof, he opened the door and was greeted by a grateful Amy, who was standing in one of the corners.
"Thank God, Sheldon. I got locked up here and it's getting cold"
His southern upbringing kicked in and he put his tux jacket on his girlfriend, who pushed her arms through the sleeves to wear it. He was saddened as her beautiful shoulders and creamy cleavage were covered up, but her safety was his top concern.
"Amy, why did you come up here?"
Amy stammered before walking over to the table and picking something up. "I-I thought Rajesh may have left his IPad up here, so I came up to get it for him"
Sheldon knew he wasn't the greatest at facial cues, but he knew Amy enough to know she wasn't telling him everything. "Amy, what's going on?"
Amy hesitated for a moment before she stammered. "Why would there be anything going on? I came here to get this and I am cold from being locked up here"
Sheldon thought for a minute and took a chance. "Tell me the truth. Are you upset about earlier?"
Amy's eyes looked everywhere but the man in front of her. "Why would I be upset? I got to have the prom of my dreams with my boyfriend—"
Sheldon heard her voice raise an octave and knew she was avoiding his question. "You know I meant when I stopped us from doing intimate things in my apartment. You left Amy when I went to the restroom for a few minutes"
Amy was going to lie again, but seeing the worry in her boyfriend's eyes made her rethink that. "Yes. I'm sorry for worrying you, but….I-I felt rejected and needed to be alone"
"Amy, I wasn't reject—"
"Sheldon, I know that now. I figured it out after about two minutes up here. I was letting the fact that I'm not the best looking girl in the world override common sense and I was—"
"Amy, what do you mean by that?" Sheldon stepped closer with fire in his eyes until he was in front of her. "Who made slanderous remarks about your attractiveness?"
Looking to avoid her boyfriend's stare, she turned with the intent of putting Raj's IPad down. Instead hanging onto it with her arm against her like a security blanket, she turned around and looked at Sheldon. "No-nobody. I'm just stating fact, Sheldon"
He walked up to Amy until he was mere inches apart from his girlfriend. "Whoever told you that poppycock needs to be put in a cage with rabid dogs and torn to shreds. Obviously, to paraphrase Meamaw, they don't know their posterior from a hole in the ground"
Amy's heart begin to sing from her boyfriend's words. "Sheldon, really…"
Sheldon gently took the IPad out of her arm and put it on the table. When done, he put his hands on his girlfriend's shoulders. He began gently stroking her arms up and down, feeling a spark through his tux jacket and relishing the feeling all the way to his loins. He reached for her hands and caressed upwards. When his thumbs got near her wrists, he could feel her heart rate increase and was grateful he wasn't alone. His courage up, he began to speak.
"Amy Farrah Fowler, you are the most beautiful creature there is. Since the day we met in the coffee shop, any naughty dreams I have are of you. When you come into the room, there is no other woman there who lights a candle to you. Your eyes are like magnets to me. Your posterior gives me very…. improper thoughts. I have to admit, I was disappointed that you didn't vote yourself Prom Queen."
"Sheldon! You're not supposed to look at my voting!"
"I did and I would do it again. Why the hell would you vote for Penny?"
"She's beautiful and—"
"Yeah, if you like overcompensating for lack of brain cells types who purchases her wardrobe from Skanks R Us."
"Sheldon!"
"Amy! Others, like Leonard, seem to like that, but my preference goes towards a woman who has brain cells and green eyes that seem to suck you in. She must have a figure with buttocks, thighs, hips, and proportionate breasts that make one look like a real woman, not a Barbie doll who needs to eat a Barbeque Cheeseburger from the Cheesecake Factory to fill her anorexic self out."
Sheldon's hands moved to take Amy's in his. "Some like tall women, but I want a woman whose height is right around 1.63 meters to my almost 1.87 meters because it makes it easy for her to rest her head on my chest when we dance so I can touch her back at the right angle to feel her heart beating. Kissing can be a challenge because she would stand on her toes, but our bodies would fit together like the perfect puzzle when we cuddled before going to sleep together."
Amy was speechless at Sheldon's words. After a moment, she got her bearings together. "That's a pretty rare combination"
Sheldon smiled, glad that he was beginning to get through to her. "There is only one woman who has all those qualifications. I am also in hippy dippy love with her."
He moved in and gave her a kiss that started gentle, but then progressed further as he held her tighter in his arms. When Sheldon's tongue caressed Amy's lower lip, she gladly opened her mouth further for easier access. Before she knew it, her arms moved around his neck and she stood on her tip toes to get closer to the lanky physicist.
After a few minutes, Sheldon and Amy had to come up for air. Reluctantly breaking the kiss, they moved apart, but stayed in their embrace. He smiled before he spoke.
"Doctor Fowler, may I have this dance?"
"There's no music, Doctor Cooper"
"No, but there will be"
Sheldon pushed some buttons on the IPad as everyone knew his password was Emily's birth date. Searching through the Google Play App, he looked for the song that he heard on his assistant's tablet at work last week. When he heard the lyrics, he couldn't tell Alex to turn it off because they spoke perfectly of how he felt about his neurobiologist and his crippling fears about intimacy with her until a few hours ago. When he found it, he hit PLAY and took Amy in his arms as it queued. When the guitar started to play, he held her closer as Cyndi Lauper began to sing 'Fearless'
Sometimes I'm afraid when you go
Sometimes I'm afraid when you come home
Underneath it all...
I think I'm afraid when there's nothing wrong .
Amy heard this song when she watched an old episode of Bones recently with Penny. Her blonde friend loved David Boreanaz's character Seeley Booth because he was hot. Amy admired the actor's physical qualities, but he couldn't hold a candle to her physicist. Instead, she preferred Emily Deschanel's Temperance Brennan because her character, like Sheldon, was very intelligent to the point of social awkwardness and afraid to feel too much because of old hurts. Much like that character over the later seasons, her sweet babboo seemed to be more open with his feelings ever since Valentine's Day.
When the song was over, they continued to hold each other and sway to the music of the cars driving below. After a few minutes, Sheldon pulled back slightly to look at his girlfriend.
"I'm not afraid anymore, Amy, at least not with you….for the most part."
Amy gulped before she gently caressed Sheldon's chest. "I'm pretty new to this also, but I think together we'll find a way to get past our fears. You said you never wanted to be intimate with anyone until me. Well, I'm glad I've never been with anyone because you're the only one I want to be….close to when we're both ready"
Sheldon visibly relaxed and decided he was ready to take a step forward.
"Amy, stay the night with me. I would like to hold you while I sleep."
The petite brunette was stunned by the question and could only nod in response. Sheldon exhaled a relieved breath before he grabbed Raj's tablet. He took his girlfriend's hand and led her from the roof. There were no words spoken as the couple made their assent down the stairs to the fourth floor. When they arrived at the landing, she excused herself for a moment to enter Penny's apartment.
"Wait, you will need this" Sheldon said as he grabbed Amy's keys from his pocket and handed them to her.
"Thanks"
Sheldon smiled as he watched his girl open the door. He grimaced when he heard a snippet of more banging against the walls and lamented not bringing his noise canceling headphones. He noticed Amy was quickly in and out with her purse and clothes from earlier in the day and shuddered from the noise in the apartment.
The couple entered 4A and Sheldon had finished locking the door when a thought came to Amy as she was picking up her bolero jacket for her dress.
"Sheldon, I have no pajamas here or a toothbrush"
"That's no problem. We have spare toothbrushes here and you can sleep in my pajama top"
Amy's mouth dropped. 'Me in his pajama top?' She thought for a moment before speaking. "W-what are you going to sleep in Sheldon?"
"I think my undershirt and bottoms will be fine…but it will have to be Saturday's because it's past midnight." He then panicked for a minute as he realized the sexual implications. "Is that okay, Amy? I can venture across the way into Sodom and Gomorrah and try to find something of Penny's. She left her laundry basket out again by the dining room table"
Amy wasn't losing her chance. "No, no it's fine Sheldon. I don't mind"
"Good" He said in a quiet voice.
The couple went into the bedroom where Sheldon hung up both jackets in his closet. After helping her unzip her dress, he gave her his pajama top so she could change in Leonard's room.

When he finished his thoughts, Sheldon smiled to himself before putting the empty water glass in the sink. He turned the kitchen light off and walked to his bedroom. When he began to enter his bedroom entry way, he saw the only light on was the small bedside lamp on his nightstand. When he turned to look for Amy, he was dumbstruck by the sight of his girlfriend pulling the covers aside and crawling into his bed. He felt his loins stir as he got a peek at her panty clad rear end as she moved towards the left side of the bed.
He wasn't ready for coitus, but he was ready for closeness. Quickly he moved to get into the right side of the bed. When settled, each turned to their sides and faced each other. Sheldon was relaxed, but his girlfriend seemed to be glowing. "Amy, why are you smiling?"
The neurobiologist put her hand on her boyfriend's face and caressed it gently. "I need to make a confession"
She saw the panic on Sheldon's face. "It's not about coitus. I meant what I said earlier about no pressure" When she saw his relief, she grinned before continuing. "I heard what you said to Bernie and Howard earlier from the roof"
Sheldon's eyes got big. "You heard that? You were eavesdropping?"
"Well, I was stuck on the roof. Not like I could escape it, now could I? Now, before you stick your foot in your mouth, I just want to say thank you for coming to my rescue"
Sheldon's relaxation turned to sadness before he voiced a thought that was nagging him. "Why didn't you tell me about what happened?
Amy could see he was hurt and knew he was right to be. She did the only thing she knew to do. "I didn't want to upset you into thinking I was pressuring you again. I didn't want you….to….to take off again. I couldn't bear that again, Sheldon"
Sheldon felt sick for a moment and knew what he had to do. "Amy, running away was wrong. You did nothing wrong that night in your apartment."
"I didn't have to pressure you"
Sheldon exhaled. "You didn't. I was feeling overwhelmed by so many things and you merely made a reasonable suggestion. For me to do anything to lead you to think you did otherwise was wrong on my part and I am so sorry. You don't do that to someone you love. I promise I will never run away from you again but you have to promise not to keep things from me. It hurt that you didn't confide in me."
Amy knew he was right about the last thing. "You're right. I should have told you and I'm sorry"
Sheldon nodded before taking her in his arms with Amy's head on his chest and her arm around him. "Are you still upset about what she said?"
Amy knew to be honest. "Yes, I guess I am. She never came out and said she was sorry, only that she had regrets. I didn't want to cause a stink, so I chose not to press the matter. I know now that it wasn't fair to either of us as I should have let her know how much it hurt. So next time I see her, we're having a frank discussion. I have a feeling after talking to you she'll track me down tomorrow"
Sheldon rubbed his hand up and down Amy's back. The temptation was too much and his hand moved to Amy's beautiful posterior, giving it a rub and a gentle squeeze before returning his hand to her back. Suddenly, the theoretical physicist felt stirrings in his bathing suit area.
Sheldon looked at the clock and to his shock saw it was almost three o'clock in the morning. "We should get some sleep, Doctor Fowler"
"Of course, Doctor Cooper"
"Good night, Amy"
"Good night, Sheldon"
The couple's lips met but as Amy began to pull away, Sheldon held her close and extended the kiss. Before each of them knew it, the mood changed to a romantic one as their hands began to finish what they started earlier in the living room.
To Amy's surprise, Sheldon's tongue once again requested entrance and the two danced a sensual tango in her mouth. Eventually, his lips moved to her chin before leading to her jugular vein, making her panties start to dampen. In response, Amy's hand reached the hem of Sheldon's shirt and played with it for a few minutes before reaching underneath. She groaned as she caressed her boyfriend's soft skin on his back.
Sheldon heard Amy's moans and it sounded like beautiful music. When his tongue drew a line across her neck, he could feel her pulse race. When Amy touched his skin, fire coursed through his veins. His other brain taking over, he pushed her onto his back with him on top. His fingers began to unbutton his pajama shirt, following each patch of exposed skin with his lips. Hearing the sounds of his girlfriend made him grow bolder and his hand began to caress down to her abdomen.
When Sheldon's hand traveled down to her stomach, Amy tensed up. She enjoyed the sensation, but she realized she wasn't ready for third base. She didn't want to scare Sheldon off, but she needed to put a stop to things.
"Sheldon, please stop"
Amy's words felt like cold water was just dumped on Sheldon. Afraid he went too far, he went into panic mode. "Amy, I'm so sorry for attacking you—"
The neurobiologist moved quickly. "Sheldon, you didn't attack me"
She put her hands to his face and looked up into her boyfriend's eyes. "You did nothing wrong. All that you did felt so good, but I guess I'm not ready for that yet" Amy saw Sheldon's face and moved to clarify. "I mean anything below the breasts. Y-you're the first man to touch me intimately and I got nervous. I don't want anyone else to touch me that way, but I think I want to take our time"
Sheldon gently brushed the hair from his Amy's face. "Me too, Amy. I never thought I would ever be in a situation like this. I'm sorry I pushed you away for so long"
Amy smiled. "It's okay, Sheldon. Why don't we get some sleep? You have to get up for Doctor Who in a few hours"
Sheldon smiled. "I can miss one episode. Only for you…just remember that, Vixen"
"I will"
The two shared a tender kiss before Amy snuggled closer to Sheldon with her head on his chest. As Sheldon felt her breathing deepen, he closed his eyes. He only had one thought as he drifted to sleep.
Coitus was no longer a possibility.
It was an inevitability and he couldn't wait.
