A/N Ok I kind of have this story planned in my head to the end, but would not mind if you gave me feedback. Not sure it will change where the story is going but would be appreciated. Thanks.
Sheldon did not go back to the club for 2 months. His need was still there. The need to escape routine. The need to pretend football mattered. The need to just be. Every time the need crept up on him he remembered her questions. " Do you have a girlfriend? Do you want my number?" He did have a girlfriend. He had lied. It wasn't a lie to fit the need it was a lie because if he had told the truth she would have walked away.
Sheldon and Amy were getting closer. The relationship agreement had been adjusted to add dates, add hand holding and Sheldon was coping. Just. Amy seemed so happy. His friends commented on them as a couple in a much more positive way and Amy was happy. But when he lay on his Star wars covered pillows covered in his star wars covered duvet in his Thursday pyjamas Sheldon twitched and thought of Em.
He knew if he went back he would take her number. He knew he would kiss her again. Not like he kissed Amy with control and mouthwash and risk control. He would kiss her like he was not Dr Sheldon Cooper. He would kiss her and it would be a lie.
But he really wanted to kiss her.
Em kept one eye on the door. She spoke to Carmen and drank her vodka, but she kept one eye on the door. It was Friday and late and he was not here. The same as every Friday for the last month. Em had persuaded Carmen to go to the club every week and every week she had drank more vodka, got more depressed and spent the following week burying herself in work til late trying to convince herself she would not go back.
Tonight she had already had too many vodkas. The guys who had been buying them were chatting and moving closer but still she kept glancing at the door.
Nothing.
He wasn't coming.
She accepted the hand of Mike, let him lead her to the dance floor and smiled.
It wasn't the same. He wasn't as tall, his eyes did not have that startling blue clarity and she just felt nothing!
He was nice though, he asked about her job, where she lived, about her friends, but she felt nothing!
Em signalled Carmen their secret code, told Mike she needed the bathroom, grabbed her coat and left!
Sheldon sat in the cab. He was wearing his flash t shirt and plaid pants. He had told Leonard he had to get something from the office. He had lied! He sat inside the cab and watched the door of the club. He couldn't go in. He was Dr Sheldon Cooper and he couldn't go in. His eye twitched but he tapped the driver on the shoulder and gave the address for CalTech. As he glanced back one last time he saw her.
Em.
Leaving on her own. He smiled.
When he got back to the apartment he skyped with Amy, killed Leonard at Halo put on his Friday pyjamas and slept.
Dressed in his black suit, calm and confident, Sheldon walked into the club and ordered a drink. It was late and the place was again packed. He knew she was there, he had seen her arrive with her friend. He chatted at the bar and had a few more drinks. He noticed she was drinking a lot more than she had the previous time they had met up and he saw she was dancing in an animated fashion and was drawing the glances of many of the men round the dance floor. She was wearing a black dress with bright flowers covering it. Her heels were high and her hair was flowing over her shoulders.
Sheldon ordered 2 more drinks and drank them quickly. He could feel the tension leave, the numbers and equations in his head blurred and the only thing in focus was her.
The guys, his Friday friends, teased him good naturedly about his absence, laughed at his focus on Em, bought him more JD & c's and pushed him towards the dance floor. His dancing matched hers, energetic and happy, she spun and saw him, grinned and twirled so she ended in front of him. There was no discussion just a smile and then he was kissing her. She wrapped her arms around his neck, closed her eyes and let him kiss her as she had remembered.
As she opened her eyes Em saw Sheldon still looking at her. His tongue caressed hers and he groaned. She closed her eyes again and let herself just enjoy the feel of him. His hands began to move slowly down her back pulling her close. She could feel the beginnings of his erection and she held tighter, kissed him harder and swore to herself she would not ask all the questions that had been going round in her head for the past weeks.
Sheldon pulled back his head but still held her close. "You need to let me take you home. You shouldn't leave alone again."
Em looked at him closely. How had he know she had left alone last week? She wouldn't ask. Right now she just wanted Sheldon. On his own, whatever he wanted to give her. She would worry about the questions tomorrow.
"Come home with me?" she whispered.
Sheldon smiled, nodded, grasped her hand and led her off the dance floor. Em waved at Carmen who shook her head grinning and waved back.
Outside Sheldon quickly hailed a cab and got in the back next to her. She gave the driver her address and then let Sheldon kiss her again.
As the cab pulled to a stop Sheldon lent over and paid the fare, helped Em out and followed her quietly into her building.
Em suddenly felt nervous. She had had a lot to drink but knew the effects were wearing off. She wasn't a virgin but she was not that experienced. Sheldon seemed so confident and in control she suddenly felt shy and unsure.
As she closed her front door and put the lock across Sheldon bent down and kissed her neck.
"do you want a drink?" she asked nervously.
"No!" he took her hand and pulled her close. "where is the bedroom?"
Em swallowed and pointed feeling more and more nervous and more and more sober. She really needed a drink.
Holding her hand Sheldon headed toward the bed, turned smiled and kissed her again. Em couldn't relax, she pulled away and said she needed a drink and ran to the kitchen. She found her vodka in the freezer, poured a large glass and drank it quickly. Taking a deep breath she walked slowly back to the bedroom. Sheldon was sat on the bed. He had taken off his suit jacket and hung it over the back of her rocking chair. His trousers and shirt were on a hanger and he was sat in tight white underpants on her bed stroking her cat who had woken up and was purring happily at this unexpected attention. Em just stood staring. The vodka had taken the edge of her nerves but the sight of those pants made her chuckle.
Really? Smart designer suit and tighty whities! grinning she scooped up the cat put her in the hall closed the door and turned round. Sheldon looked at her lazily. He got up and moved towards her. He pulled her back to the bed, pushed her down then followed her covering her with his body.
He had turned on a side light so Em could see him clearly . His chest was slim and pale. He did not have much chest hair but he did still have a confidence that belied his thin frame. As he leant to kiss her his hands worked down the zipper on her dress and she felt the cool air on her skin. Sheldon pulled the dress down trailing his fingers over her breasts and down over her stomach. She sucked her stomach in as she became self conscious again aware of his bright blue gaze.
She closed her eyes to avoid his stare as Sheldon moved further down taking her dress and panties with him. She felt his breath between her legs felt his fingers graze her thighs and she whimpered as she squeezed her eyes shut. His tongue flicked her gently and she moaned. He didn't stop, his tongue and fingers moving faster and faster as she peeked down to where his head was buried she met those blue eyes still staring and she came in a fast burst. Sheldon stayed kissing her gently as she gradually stopped trembling.
He moved back up the bed and pulled her into his arms. He still had his underwear on and she could feel his erection but he made no further move just shushed her and stroked her back as she drifted into a vodka induced sleep.
When she awoke he had gone.
