The Girls' Night Intervention - Deceit & Forgiveness?


This chapter was weird for me to write. The original version was way to angsty for my taste...so I chucked it. I think this version suits my style best. Read and let me know how it came out. :)


"I had about two glasses of wine but am in full capacity of my faculties, why Sheldon?" she asked with a look of concern written on her face.

He seemed to be having some kind of private battle. He turned away and then looked back at her.

"Well, I said something to someone about a non-existent predicament…" Sheldon said vaguely before being cut off by Amy.

"Be specific," she said huffily.

In one long-winded breath, Sheldon blurted out, "I told Kripke that we were engaging in coitus on a daily basis so that I wouldn't have to justify my inferior paper about two years ago," and looked away shyly.

It was silent now, apart from Sheldon's irregular breathing. For a fleeting second, a look of contempt crossed Amy's features but then she stood up and composed her face into a sly smirk. Sheldon watched her take a seat in the armchair looking calm and reserved. It was time to make the almighty, all-knowing Dr. Cooper squirm.

"Well, Dr. Cooper, I was wondering when you were personally going to tell me," she said frankly.

'Excuse me?" Sheldon said baffled by his girlfriend's comment.

"Did you honestly think I wouldn't find out? We work at the same university and you, of all people, know very well how fast gossip travels" she spoke defensively.

"Wh…who told you? Why didn't you say anything if you knew?"

"I heard it around campus…I got curious so I asked Penny if she knew anything about it and she filled me in. I was upset at first but I 'let it go'. Then earlier this year, Kripke asked me how our adventures in the bedroom were holding up and if you were still giving it to me 'well'. In fact, I believe his exact words at some point were, 'Cooper still trying to use his rocket on you'. Of course, I set him straight and then I helped him," she said vindictively. "The only reason I didn't say anything to you when I found out is that it was my only hope for a sex life at the time. And even though it was imaginary… it was intriguing that you could even describe such events in adequate detail." Taking a pause to breathe, "So, tell me Sheldon, how long have you been having these repressed feelings of sexual desire?" she asked as though she were a psychiatrist examining her patient as she sat regally back in the chair.

Sheldon's face turned a bright shade of crimson from the utter humiliation. In some undetermined capacity, he opened his mouth as if to speak, closed it again and then said, "Um…"

Amy looked at Sheldon bemused.

"Let me ask you this since it seems that the cat's got your tongue…was our daily love making whimsically inventive?" she said as she raised her brow and smirked.

Sheldon felt as though the earth would open up and swallow him whole right then and there but he promised to tell the truth, no matter how awkward it made him feel.

"It was magical," he spoke as his voice softly trailed off.

Amy had to stop herself from grinning uncoolly.

"It will be magical," she said in a gentler tone, "because we love each other whole – heartedly. I expect nothing less."

Amy sat closer to the edge of the seat and awaited Sheldon's reaction. He fixed her with his piercing blue eyes, "You never cease to amaze me Dr. Fowler." He came and crouched beside her and continued, "I'm sorry I wasn't honest with you," he said, brow furrowed with earnest resolve.

"I'll forgive you this time but next time…well..."

"There will never be a next time… I can assure you," he promised as he leaned forward and ran a finger very slowly down one side of her cheek, sending goose bumps down Amy's spine and making the hair behind her neck stand on end.

Sheldon rose to his feet and asked, "Tea?" raising one eyebrow.

"It's late Sheldon and I should be going. The girls are waiting for me," she said politely declining his offer.

"Well, let them wait," Sheldon added alluringly.

"Why?" she asked in anticipation.

"Because, I was hoping that tomorrow morning you would be having breakfast with me," he replied with a subtle wink.


I was going to stop the story here but I realized that girls' night is not over. Stay tuned :) * The next chapter might take one or two or more days.
