Em woke Saturday moaning with a groan. Her head thumped and a wave of shame washed over her. What had she done! She remembered coming hard and fast last night, she remembered Sheldon holding her … then nothing. How embarrassing! How would she face him again!

~73~~73~~73~

Sheldon meanwhile had left Ems with a feeling of guilt. What would Amy say if she knew. What would Penny and Bernadette do if they found out what he had done! He needed to stop. He needed to find somewhere else to go when the need overcame him, but he needed to forget what had just happened and get home and think of a reason why he was only just arriving home dressed in a suit and in desperate need of a shower!

As Sheldon unlocked the door to 2311 los Robles he was met with silence. He waited just inside the door but there was definitely no-one home so he quickly moved to his room took off his soiled clothes and moved to the bathroom to shower. As he washed he thought of the guys at the bar. The guys who knew him as Sheldon the teacher from uni, the guys who had seen him leave with Em. Last night they had a friend, Steve, with them Sheldon hadn't recognised but who said he went to Caltech but had never heard of Sheldon. Sheldon just hoped it stayed that way!

Once washed and changed into his plaid pants and batman t shirt and grey thermal Sheldon set about organising a presentation he had to give next week at work. It was a mindless job but at least that allowed his brain to switch off as he went through the possible bars he could go to instead of one he may bump into Em at. He knew from their short conversations where she worked, he know knew where she lived so with that in mind he decided the next time his brain felt like it was going to explode he would avoid those locations and maybe suggest to the guys a new venue.

What Sheldon had not factored in to his little plan was Em was feeling embarrassed to the point that she too felt the need to avoid Sheldon and the club so had told Carmen she was working late this week and perhaps a new club and new people would be a good idea.

Carmen was fine with this. She was beginning to worry about the effect Sheldon was having on Em and that was before Em updated her on Friday nights activities! Em was drinking lots and obsessing about Sheldon, a new club sounded just the thing.

So that weekend Em volunteered to work late getting month end reports done much to the surprise but delight of her colleagues. Carmen took her latest man on a pub crawl and found a great club that played great music and was not far enough out to cost a fortune in cab fare.

Em was grateful.. The following weekend she joined Carmen and had a great night without having to watch the door. She did not feel the need to drink so much, just had fun with her friend unwinding , dancing and having fun. That night she fell into bed alone but happy.

A the back of the lecture hall Steve looked up to see Dr Sheldon Cooper take to the stage for his presentation. It took Steve a moment to realise this looked like the guy he had been talking to the previous weekend. But this guy seemed uptight and twitchy. He was dressed in god awful pants and a t shirt that appeared to have a melting Rubik cube on it over a bright yellow thermal! Seriously he must just look like the guy at the bar who had been seriously smooth when putting the moves on that girl and disappearing with her into the night. He would hang back and see if he eased up when the pressure was off. Steve sat through the presentation and was seriously impressed. It couldn't be the same guy, this dude had a brain like no-one he had ever seen before. It couldn't be the guy chatting football and knocking back the J D's.

After the lecture Dr Cooper moved towards an uptight looking woman in a brown skirt and green cardigan buttoned up to the neck who had entered the auditorium. They seemed to know each other well and Steve watched Dr Cooper clean his hands on some wipes he pulled from his bag, wait whilst the woman did the same then took her hand and walked back down the corridor together.

No he must have been mistaken it couldn't be the same guy!

Sheldon felt the need build quicker this time. Amy was becoming a regular visitor to his office at lunch times and for pizza night and anything can happen Thursday. He felt more at ease with the hand holding, but when she launched at him to kiss him goodnight he still stiffened and kept his whole body tense for fear of letting the feeling he had for Em come washing back over him.

It was Friday night and he had agreed to meet the bar guys at a new place, they were already there when he arrived and Steve the new guy was there too. He kept staring at Sheldon and dropping Caltech into the conversation regularly. Sheldon drank more, trying to block out the possibility Steve had seen him at work. It wasn't long before Sheldon was waving his arms manically and weaving all over the dance floor. Drinking and dancing and trying to pretend he wasn't missing Em. The guys chatted up girls, bought Sheldon drinks and watched him dance. He was happy dancing and the more he drank the more he realised he was being silly.. With a wave he headed off out the door and gave the waiting cabbie Ems address.

~73~~73~~73~

the repetitive buzzing woke Em who had been happily sleeping with the cat curled on the end of her bed. She stumbled to the intercom heart thumping wondering what on earth had happened.

"hey kitten!" Sheldon slurred.

"Sheldon?" Em asked tentatively.

"I'm back!". Em buzzed open the door glanced down at her old t shirt and wished she didn't look like she had fallen out of bed, which she had!

Sheldon practically fell through the door, clasping Em round her waist as he did giggling and kissing her neck.

"Sheldon what are you doing? What are you doing here!" Em asked still dazed to see him stood before her.

Sheldon pushed Em back towards the bedroom still kissing her neck.

"Sheldon! What's going on?"

"I missed you!" he slurred into her neck as his hands found their way under her t shirt to stroke his way up over her stomach to her breasts. Em closed her eyes and tried not to moan at the sensation. Sheldon fell back on to the bed startling Ems cat who jumped off hissing. He giggled pushed her t shirt over her head and lunged at her chest. As his lips found her nipple Em did moan. She felt Sheldon smile and suck gently then he rolled over onto his back pulling her on top of him. Em could feel his erection through his suit pants and determined to see this through moved back down Sheldon's legs unbuttoning his shirt before moving on to his trousers. Sheldon was still giggling and appeared ticklish as her fingers grazed his side but as she removed his trousers and underwear and trailed her fingers over his penis he stopped giggling, stared into her eyes and smiled.

Em blushed. He looked gorgeous, if a little drunk, but as her fingers pumped him slowly he flipped her again and began to move down her naked body with his lips. He was so slow that Em began to squirm. As his lips touched her clit she stilled and almost stopped breathing.

It was just as she remembered. Sheldon's tongue moved fast over her and she cried out begging him to enter her but he just looked at her winked and held her hips still as his tongue did things to her that made her teeth tingle!

As she cried out Sheldon moved fast, covering her mouth with his and thrusting hard into her still trembling body. Em grasped his neck and kissed him hard. Clinging to him as she felt the pressure build in her stomach again moving down as Sheldon thrust hard and fast. He made no sound at all just stared into her eyes as he kissed her then throwing his head back as she felt his body tense and his penis throb as he pumped into her. He collapsed on top of her and was instantly asleep!

Em stared at the man half on top of her and half next to her. She could smell the alcohol on his lips but her body was still tingling form the way he had made her feel. She smiled and closed her eyes and slept.
