Chapter 5
A/N: Thank you for your reviews. It really means a lot. Here's a big step in the right direction :)
Sheldon panicked. He grabbed her by the shoulders to jolt her. "Amy…Amy…Amy". He called to her with each shake.
Amy opened her eyes and tried to wrap her head around what just happened. As her vision focused, her eyes darted around the room and landed on her Sweet Babboo's face hovering over her.
"Sheldon, I'm sorry. I don't know what happened. I think it might have been an episode of low blood pressure." Amy was lying through her teeth. She knew exactly what happened, she had a panic attack. She couldn't tell him and risk him backing out of their agreement.
"Are you sure you are alright? You still look a little pale. I'll make some tea." Sheldon was genuinely concerned.
"Sheldon, I assure you that I am fine. It happens to me occasionally. However, I would love some tea, let me help you."
As Amy and Sheldon rose from the couch, Amy felt her equilibrium was still off. She wobbled as she stood up and was falling forward towards the coffee table until Sheldon's hands raced to catch her and stabilize her balance.
His hands were still grasped around her waist even though she regained her balance. "I'm fine Sheldon, you can let go. I just stood up too fast." Amy looked up at him. She had never seen that look in his eyes before. It was a pleading look, something of desire. She was afraid to move or speak, she didn't want him to let her go.
"Sheldon, say something." She finally mustered out in a whisper, much to her own disappointment. And then he snapped out of it and slowly took his hands away. "Good going, Fowler." Amy thought to herself.
"Um...ah hem! Yes. Well, I am just glad you are okay. Do you still want some tea or shall we get on with amending relationship agreement?" Sheldon didn't want to let her go. He wanted to kiss her like he had the other night. But he had to restrain himself.
"I'll have some tea first, chamomile please." Amy requested politely. That ought to calm her nerves. Sheldon walked off into the kitchen and she was reading through the amendments.
Coitus. That word again. He stomach was dancing. She couldn't pass out again. She quickly signed off on the amendments so she didn't need to look at it anymore.
"Here's your tea, now we can finish. Oh, you already signed them. Very well, would like to play a game or watch a movie?" Sheldon asked.
Amy sipped her tea and she immediately felt more relaxed. "Hmm, let's just talk. I don't fancy playing a game or watching a movie tonight."
"Talk? Really Amy, why don't we all just join hands and sing 'Kumbaya'?" Sheldon spat back sarcastically, his Texas twang more prominent.
Right back to where we started, Amy thought. Her head was starting to hurt, she better just go home and go to sleep.
"You know what Sheldon, I am just going to go home and sleep. I'll Skype you tomorrow."
Amy stood up to grab her bag. Sheldon felt bad for his remarks. "No, no, no. You can't drive in your state. I think it would be best if you stayed here tonight. You can stay in Leonard's room and he can stay with Penny. I'll lend you some night wear." He was rambling and Amy was grinning. She couldn't believe what he was offering.
"You're right, I will stay the night. Are you sure Leonard won't mind me staying over?"
"It's fine Amy, I assure you. Let me go get you some night clothes." Sheldon disappeared into the bedroom. He didn't have a plan for tonight, at all. He surely didn't expect this outcome.
Amy headed towards the bathroom, met Sheldon, and went to go change. Amy began undressing, she was down to her tights when she caught her foot inside of it. She hopped on one leg to gain her balance, unsuccessfully. For the third time tonight, she was headed for the floor and this time she finally met it.
Sheldon heard the loud thud of Amy hitting the floor.
"Knock, knock, knock…Amy."
"Knock, knock, knock…Amy."
"Knock, knock, knock…Amy."
"Owwwww. Sheldon, I fell." Sheldon flung the door open to a very exposed Amy Farrah Fowler. His stomach was in knots. "Amy, it's a wonder you have made it this far in life without killing yourself."
"I promise you, this doesn't usually happen, just help me up, please!" Amy pleaded.
Sheldon was hesitant. Amy was partially wearing her tights and a bra/panty duo that left little to the imagination. He bent down to help her up and put his arm around her waist and lifted her up. Her breasts were against his body again. She was looking up at him the same way she had the other night. She was moving towards his lips and it was happening again. Their tongues were intertwined and their hands were exploring each others bodies.
"Second base." Amy smiled as Sheldon grabbed her breast.
"Let's go to the bedroom." Sheldon said. It was now or never. He was already this far in and this would help him focus on his work again.
Amy was astonished. Her nerves were coming back. Sheldon sat at the edge of his bed and pulled Amy towards his lap. She wasn't sure what was happening. Were they about to do this? This was what she wanted after all.
"Sheldon, are you sure you are okay with this? We don't have to do this tonight." Amy didn't want to force him. She would never forgive herself.
"Amy, I want to give you everything I can. When we kissed Thursday night, I didn't think about the germs like I thought I would. The only thing I could think about is when I could touch you again."
Amy's heart was melting in her chest. Her fears washed away with one sentence.
"What about, you know…protection?" Amy asked.
"Prepared." He reached over to the brown bag on his night stand. Amy couldn't believe he had actually thought this through.
They resumed right where they left off. Sheldon's hands were caressing Amy's back and he fiddled with the hook in his way. Sheldon marveled at the sight of his girlfriend. He never thought he would be so fascinated by the female figure. As if it were tit-for-tat, Amy pulled both of Sheldon's shirts over his head. He was far more toned than she expected. She slid her hands up his chest as if she just discovered the sense of touch. She was grasping his shoulders and kissing his neck. She shifted on his lap and could feel how much he was enjoying this. Amy pushed him back onto the bed, rolled next to him and started ridding him of the last barrier in her way. She looked up at Sheldon to gauge his facial expression, he was enjoying this. And there he was, bare and available for her taking.
"Sheldon, I don't know what I am doing." Amy sounded defeated.
"Well, I am not exactly an expert in the field either."
"I would feel better if you were on top." Amy said to Sheldon.
Sheldon grabbed the brown bag and fiddled with the package. He ripped open the foil and prepared himself. Amy laid back on the bed ridding the last of her undergarments. Sheldon crawled over her carefully and hovered for a moment before he kissed down her jawline and then to her neck. His breath was grazing her ear. "Are you ready?" he said timidly. "Yes, please go slow." Amy choked out nervously.
