Thanks for all the reviews, follows and favourites
The next 2-3+ chapters will be a joint collaboration of ideas and some scenes will be written by INWHATUNIVERSE so a big thanks to her
There will be a little bit of smut
A month had passed and the living arrangements at 4a were working out very well and everybody was happy, Sheldon and Amy still out for went for date night every Thursday as that was something they definitely were not giving up on
Penny had started filming her web series which only required 3 days a week rehearsal and filming so continued to work at the cheesecake factory for the weekend shifts which she found she didn't mind doing now that she was finally getting somewhere with her acting work, she had also been invited back into the group evenings with Leonard's approval although he was still reluctant to talk to her which Penny was sad about as she hadn't got over him
It was Saturday and Sheldon and Amy were having breakfast in the kitchen discussing their plans for the day, Leonard had gone out early to go kite flying with Howard and Raj when Amy had been thinking about something she need to discuss with Sheldon
'Sheldon do you think it would be a good idea for us to put our savings into one account rather than have them separate? This would help when we end up buying our own house'
'Actually that's a good idea, I have plenty of savings but I also have lots of uncashed cheques in my drawer that could be better off in a bank gaining interest than just sitting here, though I did use some of them for out Wisconsin trip' said Sheldon
'Ok we can go to the bank this morning then and set it up, we can still have our own accounts but anything that we don't spend we can divert to the savings account'
'I agree, Amy do you know how much you have in savings?
'Of course, I put money in there every month as I have done since I started working and I have around $100,000 in there, I have never really spent a lot unless its for essentials so I always have excess left over, also now I have this Head of Addiction Studies position that's an extra wage which I can add to the tally, I take it you know how much you have? 'Penny mentioned a while ago you keep money round the apartment and you have the uncashed cheques'
'Well I have a bit less but when I checked last week there was $80,000 but I will find out how much the cheques amount to, I no longer have money lying around the apartment since everybody found out about that, its now in the bank but I think in a year or a bit longer we probably can afford a nice size house with a small mortgage with the amount we can save to use as a deposit'
'Sheldon we are really growing up! Laughed Amy
'We are indeed' said Sheldon adding 'How's Penny coping without Leonard?
'Not great, Bernadette and I have talked about Penny possibly going for therapy to help deal with her problems, we can only help so much but she needs to do it for herself, but now she the lead part in the Bewitched web series production and she's started rehearsals and filming so that's given her a bit of confidence but she only wants Leonard which is unfortunate'
'Well she will have to get over him, come on lets get ready to go out, make sure you have all your bank details and if we have time after the bank we can go to the Zoo, we have not been for a while'
'Oh that sounds good to me' said Amy
Later that day
Sheldon and Amy had returned to the apartment just after 6pm having picked up Thai food for themselves and for Leonard and they were chatting in the living room
'I need to speak with you both and ask for your advice on something' said Leonard
'Ok what's up? Asked Sheldon
'Sheldon do you remember that girl Alice from the comic book store a couple of years ago' asked Leonard as he went to the fridge and got a bottle of water
'Yes why, what about her'
'Well I just saw her again at the comic book store, although when she saw me she looked like she wanted to leave but I managed to stop her and we got chatting and I told her how sorry I was for not mentioning I was with another woman the last time I saw her and explained how Priya had cheated on me anyway and she accepted my apology then she suggested we go on a date so I have agreed to meet her on Wednesday'
'Good for you Leonard, have you decided where you are going because I can recommend somewhere if you like' said Sheldon
'Yes the Chinese restaurant you and Amy go to every Thursday'
'Excellent choice Leonard, make sure you book a booth for more privacy'
'Well I will see about that, I don't even know where this is going to go yet, it's just a date, I'm not even sure I want to be in a relationship again so soon after Penny'
'Don't think of it as a relationship then, think of it as just two people hanging out going on dates, there doesn't need to be anything serious in it, just a bit of fun you know and you deserve that at least' said Amy
'Why are you encouraging me anyway, I know Penny still wants me but I cant go there again when I just don't trust her'
'Maybe you seeing other people will make Penny realise just what she has thrown away with you' said Amy
'Yes you might be right but thank you both for the advice, oh by the way Stuart is staying open late tonight and he's giving 20% off everything after 8pm so I will be going back again and he mentioned if tonight was a success then he would open late tomorrow as well if you want to go Sheldon' said Leonard
'Maybe I will see, I don't know yet but thank you for letting me know' said Sheldon
'No problem' said Leonard as they continued to eat and chat
Later that night
Sheldon had returned from doing his laundry and went into the bathroom only to find a very naked Amy who had just stepped out of the shower, they both stood stunned staring at each other.
'Amy! I'm so-so sorry' said Sheldon but instead of leaving he found he was frozen to the spot unable to look away from her
'Sheldon there is nothing to be sorry about but the way you are looking at me suggests you might be interested in what I have to offer' said Amy
'You know very well I am interested in you Amy' said Sheldon as he moved towards her and kissed her while gently fondling her breasts causing Amy to shiver in pleasure but she returned the kiss with flourish
'Let me just put my dressing gown on and we can take this to the bedroom' said Amy as she took his hand and led him to the bedroom
Once they got into the bedroom Amy removed her dressing gown and lay down on the bed while Sheldon stood watching her not moving, she sensed that she had pushed him too far
'Sheldon are you ok, we don't have to do anything if you don't want to, I know coitus is off the table, but we could experiment a little' Sheldon still stood staring saying nothing so Amy got up from the bed and started to put her gown back on which sparked Sheldon back into life
'Yes-yes of course I'm ok, lets just get on the bed and go slowly' said Sheldon but as he removed his tops and trousers Amy could see his arousal standing to attention through his boxers.
Sheldon lay down on the bed next to Amy and pulled her towards him and they continued to kiss while he fondled her breasts, Amy moved on top of Sheldon slowly grinding against him still kissing but then as she moved back off him her hands brushed against his erection, Sheldon shuddered in pleasure which Amy took that he liked it so she boldly put her hand inside his pants and gently fondled the tip of his erection
This caused Sheldon to make a whimpering sound, he stopped kissing Amy and buried his head in her neck and kissed her neck furiously while Amy continued to play with his erection but he could feel that he was starting to lose control, suddenly he stopped kissing Amy's neck causing her to stop what she was doing and pull back from Sheldon and look at him
He had his eyes closed and was almost frozen to the spot but he spoke the moment she pulled her hand out of his pants
'Don't stop' said Sheldon slightly hoarsely
'Sheldon are you sure because I don't want you to feel uncomfortable'
'I'm very sure, we can play around the bases but that's all for now, I am not comfortable with the losing control feeling I just had'
'That's ok Sheldon, I want you to be ok with what we are doing'
'Amy I am more than ok with most things, now come hack here and let me do something for you instead'
'What do you want to do for me? Asked Amy curiously
Sheldon's response was to pull Amy closer to him and gently suck and caress her nipple and fondle the other which made Amy moan in desire for him and she wrapped her legs round Sheldon's and they carried on like that for some time until they both stopped breathless and flushed from the pleasure
'Amy Farrah Fowler you are a vixen!
'Oh I know and that's why you love me' Amy smiled at Sheldon and put her nightie on along with her dressing gown and Sheldon redressed and they went back into main living area and cuddled on the sofa watching TV
Sunday Morning
The girls including Alex were at their regular café having breakfast, Amy and Bernadette both wanted to talk to Penny about going for therapy and getting over Leonard but didn't want to upset her but as it was Penny wanted to speak to them about something else first
'Do you remember when I spoke about making Penny Blossoms part time?
The girls nodded
'Well when I was at rehearsals I had one in my hair and the director asked me where I got it from and when I told him I made it myself along with others he said he would look into getting me a guest slot on the shopping channel as he knows one of the directors there and I can sell them myself, though not just as hair accessories but I can make brooches and belt buckles, I will have to audition first of course though'
'That's great news' said Amy
'Yes it is and that's where you three come in'
'What do you mean? asked Bernadette
'Well I need to make a selection of samples to show and I would like very much if you would take one evening this week to come to my place and help me to do them, I will show you how to do them and we can set up a production line and if its successful then I can employ people to help'
'I can help' said Alex
'Me too' said Amy
'How can you afford to employ people? Asked Bernadette
'I'm going to ask Raj to see if he would help with the finances because if this does come to something then I will need people to help me as I said and Raj would be perfect and I think this will help me a little bit to get over Leonard'
Bernadette and Amy exchanged glances wondering whether they should mention the therapy but Penny saw the look
'What? Why are you looking at each other like that?
'Ok here's the thing, do you think it would be a good idea to go for therapy to help deal with what happened with Leonard, you obviously love him but you have this urge to go find other people to be with when he's not around, its almost like you are not satisfied with what you have sometimes and you don't seem to understand just why he finished with you' said Bernadette
'Penny we are only asking you to think about it, you don't have to decide anything straight away but we thought it might help and maybe when you realise your true feelings for Leonard it will make you see just how happy you guys were together' said Amy
'I will think about it but I don't like the idea of telling a stranger all about my feelings'
'Yes but because they are a stranger they are usually a good choice to listen to your problems and to help you and they wont judge you' said Bernadette
'By the way Penny I just thought I would let you know, Leonard has a date on Wednesday' said Amy
Penny looked stunned but tried to hide it and failed
'I guess he just wants to move on and I don't blame him after the way I treated him' said Penny as she pushed her food away and started sobbing
Bernadette who was sitting next to Penny let her sob in her arms
'Look come on sort yourself out, crying isn't going to solve anything' said Alex
'I know but I miss him and even when I come over for Friday nights, he doesn't want to speak to me'
'Maybe it just takes time for these things to work themselves out' said Amy
'Do you know who he is going out with? Asked Penny
'Yes a girl called Alice he met at the comic book store' said Amy
'Oh no not her again, she and Leonard had a few dates before she dumped him because he was still with Priya, do you know he even came to me for advice on what to do before he went out with her?
'Well that's a good thing isn't it? Asked Alex
'How is it a good thing' shouted Penny as she started to cry again
'Because it showed that he valued your advice perhaps and I don't know if this makes it better but Leonard was unsure about even going on the date' said Amy
'Why? Asked Penny
'Because he felt it was too soon after you' said Amy deliberately not mentioning that she had encouraged him
'I don't want to talk about this anymore, can we just finish and go home I have some things to do and if you guys want to help me with the Penny Blossoms please come over Tuesday and Wednesday at 6pm I will be home from rehearsals by then' said Penny as she got up abruptly from the table and left the café without saying goodbye
'Oh dear that didn't go well' said Bernadette
'Maybe not but I felt she needed to know' said Amy
'You did the right thing, don't worry about it' said Alex
'But I will worry because she's my friend' said Amy
'Amy do you think Penny was worried about you and your feelings when she tried it on with Sheldon? Asked Bernadette
'Probably not but that's different circumstances' said Amy 'Anyway I have to go as well now, I will see you both on Tuesday it seems!
The three of them said their goodbyes and went their separate ways
Back at Penny's apartment she phoned Raj knowing he would have finished Paintball by now
'Hi Raj, how are you?
'I'm fine Penny, how can I help you'
'I need to see you, can I come to your apartment now if that's ok'
'Sure, see you soon' said Raj wondering just what Penny wanted
Penny arrived at Rajs apartment and began her speech about why she wanted to see him
'Do you remember the Penny Blossoms we all made years ago?
'Of course, we were up all night! Said Raj
'Well how would you like to go into business with me?
'How do you mean? asked Raj
'Well my director spotted me wearing a Penny Blossom in my hair and after chatting with me about it, is going to see if he can get me a slot on the shopping channel for me to sell them, I will probably have to audition first though and the girls have agreed to spend two nights this week helping me make samples but if this takes off then I will need more help and I will have to pay people to do them and that's where you come in because I will need the financial help from you and I will give you a share of any profits' said Penny
'How much a share were you thinking of? Asked Raj
'How about half each'
'Ok you have yourself a deal, just get back to me on how many people you will need to employ and the costs for buying all the products and I can open a joint business account to put the money in, also the website we used previously can be adapted to suit our needs so that people who see the Penny blossoms advertised can either buy online or through the shopping channel phone number'
'Oh Raj, thank you so much, you are brilliant' said Penny as she hugged him in delight
Raj went onto his laptop and brought the website up and started making changes with Penny's approval
Tuesday Penny's apartment
'Before we get started I just wanted to say thank you and I am sorry for storming out on Sunday, I just cant deal with Leonard dating at the moment, I wish there was something I could do to make him change his mind but at the moment that isn't going to happen but I have considered the therapy thing and I have made an appointment to see somebody' said Penny
'Oh Penny that is great news, you know we only suggested it to help you' said Bernadette
'Yes I know, I have ordered Chinese as a thank you for helping me tonight, it should be here in a minute' said Penny
'How many samples do you need to make? Asked Amy
'Well at least 100, I wont be showing that many at the audition but Raj has suggested setting up the website so that people can buy now and he's going to link it with advertisements that follow people who like similar things'
'Raj was happy to help then? Asked Alex
'More than happy! He's agreed to share half the profits with me and he will set up a business account to make it all legal'
The girls then got to work with Penny showing them what to do using her past experience of when Sheldon gave her tips and they had a very successful couple of days working
Cheers for reading
Next Chapter will include Penny going for therapy and a whole lot more and will be up in a couple of days
