The Girls' Night Intervention- Logic & Desire
Again, I can't thank all of you enough for taking the time to read and review! Hope you continue to enjoy.
"Oh my …I'm so sorry Sheldon," she said as she jumped off the stool and leaned down to pick up the pieces of the shattered mugs.
"It's not your fault my hands malfunctioned at your statement, I should have been more careful," he said as he got down on his knees to clean up the mess. As they were both crouched down in the very little space there was between the island and fridge, he made the mistake of looking at her. The limited proximity between them and her diligently helping him pick up the pieces for some reason made his palms sweaty and his heart race. She was adorable, the way her fragrant hair fell forward and the way her hands moved with precision…it was driving him wild.
"Amy…" he began speaking in an ardent tone and she looked at him with her eyes wide, "you were right, it wasn't about tea."
"What was it about Sheldon?" she asked in a soft suggestive manner.
"My inability to contain my desire for you," he said shyly.
"Please elaborate," she begged waiting to hear those words from his mouth, begging to be wanted in that way by the man she had fallen hopelessly in love with.
"Amy, I…um…how should I say this tactfully…um…" he continued but was stopped.
"Sheldon, close your eyes and take a deep breath then just say it like it is. You don't have to try so hard," her words soothing a troubled Sheldon.
He did what Amy suggested, his erratic breathing slowed down. She waited patiently till he was calm. He lifted his head and leaned into her, whispering only to her…only she needed to know what he wanted.
"Amy, I want to make love to you."
Hearing Sheldon actually say the words in such a low voice made her dizzy, the room started spinning…everything faded, till it was all black.
"Oh my! Amy…wake up…wake up …" Sheldon said as his voice quivered. He was able to catch her head before it hit the floor and cradled her as best as possible considering the position they were already in.
"Amy… Amy…" he started shaking her but not too vigorously. It was almost a minute before Amy started coming to.
"Sheldon?" she questioned.
"You scared the hell out of me!" he scorned.
"What happened?"
"I'm afraid if I tell you, you might faint again. Have you been eating properly and taking vitamin supplements?" he asked sternly.
"What?" she asked still dazed. He helped her off the floor and sat her on the stool.
"If I let go, will you be able to stabilize yourself without falling over?" he asked.
"I believe so," she said as she held on to the edge of the counter.
"Good," he said as he slowly let go so that he could retrieve a bottle of water from the fridge. He twisted the cap and opened it for her.
"Here, drink this," he said as he handed it to her. Amy raised the bottle to her lips to sip a bit and Sheldon's hand was right underneath the bottle the whole time just to make sure there were no more accidents that night.
"Did I black out?" Amy questioned although she knew the answer to that question herself.
"Yes, don't ever do that again," he commanded. "Now come, let's go sit on the couch. I'll clean this mess up later." Amy looked down on the floor to see broken ceramic pieces lying here and there and she remembered what had transpired just moments before things went dark.
"Oh Sheldon…" she uttered as he was guiding her to the couch.
"Shh, wait till we sit down and then I will be happy to clarify things for you," he replied softly.
After sitting down, Amy once again in his spot, he told her to breathe deeply till she felt calm. It took a few minutes but he sat there right beside her, holding her hand and not because it was stipulated he do so in such circumstances.
"I think I'm all right now. I'm sorry I scared you. I have wanted to hear those words from you for a long while now and you took me by surprise, just like when you told me you loved me and I had a panic attack. Is it true?" Amy dared to ask.
"Amy, I am completely enamored with you and therefore it was only natural for me to feel physically attracted to you as well, thus causing my panic attack before prom. I already knew I loved you before then but that night… when I saw you wearing that dress, it turned my hind brain on and I haven't been able to turn it off since. Now, however, I feel ready to take that step with you, should you want to." He looked at her with caution, hoping she would be able to handle his confession.
"I would love to Sheldon…wait? Do you mean tonight?" she asked in surprise.
"That would be up to you, but yes," he said frankly and without hesitation.
"This isn't the proof you were talking about at the restaurant, is it?" Amy asked in a quizzical tone.
"No, this is not the proof; however, judging from your reaction tonight, I think it would be best to hold off on that a little bit more."
"Now I'm just even more curious than before," Amy complained.
"Woman, you are going to have to wait to satisfy your curiosity," he remarked.
"Well, what do we do now?" she asked flirtatiously.
"That is entirely up to you. Let me clean up the mess in the kitchen and we can discuss it if you wish," he said as he patted her leg and stood up not quite catching her tone or at least for now, ignoring it due to the previous circumstances.
The second he had turned his back, Amy wanted to send Penny a text but remembered she left her purse at home. It was for the best though. It was going to be a very special private moment between them when it was going to happen and she didn't feel right having this moment gossiped about.
"Sheldon, when is Leonard coming back?" she asked.
"Oh, I don't know. He said he might be taking Penny out to dinner and beg for forgiveness or hold his breath till he turned blue," he replied casually.
"He wouldn't do that, would he?"
"What? Beg or turn blue?"
"Sheldon!"
"Yes, he said he will beg…no, he won't turn blue. That boy can't hold his breath more than ten seconds without needing his inhaler. It's just a childish threat," he answered as he finished up sweeping the rest of the mug pieces. "Since I am here, would you still like that tea?"
"Yes, please," she exhaled deeply and continued, "Sheldon, concerning what you told me earlier, I would like that to happen at my place where there is no chance of someone walking in on us or eavesdropping and such."
"Oh, that sounds acceptable, anything else?" he added as he put the kettle on the stove and took down two more mugs.
"I would like it to be on a night when we are both free the next day. I don't want to feel rushed or pressured by time ,especially as it will be our first experience," she explained.
"All right," he said as he put the tea bags in the mugs.
"And I don't want you to schedule it, make an agreement for it or write down all the steps for successful coitus either!" she stated raising her voice just a little.
"I would never… oh, well on second thought….yes I would. Noted. So, we are not doing this tonight, correct?" he asked for clarification.
"No, Sheldon." Amy wanted to so much but she has waited all this time, 'What's the difference if it is a few more days or weeks,' she thought.
Actually, this benefited Sheldon as well as it would give him the time to implement his whole plan.
"One last question, why didn't you call it 'coitus'?" Amy asked.
"I haven't used that word in a while as I believe it is inappropriate in our circumstance," he replied sincerely.
"You could have used the word 'sex'," Amy inserted.
"Perhaps, but still inappropriate," he said as he grinned at her sheepishly.
"Just checking," she mumbled to herself trying to control the urge to throw him down right then and there.
They drank the tea, this time with no accidents and chatted a bit more, but it was getting late for a school night and Amy still had to drive back home.
"Sheldon, thank you for tonight. It was truly an excellent date." Amy said as she gently kissed his lips.
"I enjoyed it immensely myself except for the part where you fainted," he said giving her sides a little squeeze, then a light kiss on her lips.
"Sheldon, if we keep this up, I'll never be able to leave." She said provokingly.
"I don't mind," he said fervently as he kissed her lightly once more.
"Sheldon," she purred. "I have to go," she said reluctantly getting up from her seat.
"Will I see you tomorrow?" he queried.
"I hope so. Lunch?" she suggested.
"Yes, I'll stop by your lab."
"I'll be waiting Dr. Cooper," she said giving him her best come–hither look.
He approached her daring to put his hands a little lower than usual on her body. They leaned into each other, tilting their heads at just the right angle to share another steamy kiss.
"Good night Amy," he said breathing heavily after breaking the kiss.
"Good night Sheldon," she responded almost panting.
But they just stood there looking at each other.
"Sheldon," she started.
"Yes, Amy," he said hoping for more.
"I need my car key."
"Oh…oh, yes. Here," he said pulling it out of his trouser pocket and handing it to her.
"Thank you," she said and kissed his cheek hurriedly, then turned and made her way downstairs before he could hypnotize her with his ways.
Of course, the date was a total success but Amy still had one more surprise waiting for her when she got home that she had forgotten about.
This portion of the date has come to an end but there are more surprises in store for Amy. The next chapter will deal with the envelope...further down some Leonard and Penny, then Shamy... not necessarily in that order and we'll see after that. :) Thanks for reading and let me know what you think!
