Sheldon rolled around in bed sleeplessly. It annoyed him quite a lot that he couldn't just fall asleep, it was one of the things he actually quite enjoyed. No one really knew what was going on in his brain all day but even though he was used to it, it was exhausting to always have a million thoughts at the same time and right now he was unable to organize them. The only thing he could tell was that most of them were revolving Amy… and her lips.
He automatically licked his own lips as if the kiss was still sitting there, just waiting to be absorbed again into every little cell of his body. But the taste was gone. With all the grape juice and teeth brushing, Sheldon had erased it… and he deeply regretted it. He was sure that also if he'd try to trick his body and just eat a brownie, it would never again taste as good as it did from Amy's mouth.
Sheldon turned on his back, his usual sleeping position, and closed his eyes for the umpteenth time but the only thing he saw was Amy. She had been incredibly pretty today. Of course she always was, but Sheldon had most definitely found his favorite outfit of hers.
He opened his eyes and sat up in his bed. He was tired of trying to sleep but not being able to because she was distracting him. He wanted to get up and talk to her. Get her into his room. Get into her room. Have her close to him. Maybe in his bed. Holding her and smelling the tender scent of her hair again, just as he had during the kiss.
"Get yourself together, Cooper" He angrily mumbled, as he forced himself to lay back down and close his eyes again.
Amy got out of the shower, wrapped herself into a towel and sighed. No, a cold shower hadn't helped either to turn her mind off enough to be able to sleep, she could already feel that.
She dried herself with the towel and then slipped into one of her night gowns, before she went back outside and tossed herself onto the bed again. It was cold. If only someone would have slept next to her… no, stop. He wouldn't and she knew it and for God's sake, she wouldn't be so pathetic and stand in front of his door, challenging herself if she was brave enough to knock and just plant yet another kiss onto his lips. His gorgeous delicious divine lips.
With a long sigh she turned off the little lamp on the night stand and pulled the blanket over her body. She really would have given a lot to have him here now. That actually wasn't anything new, but at home she at least had rice-Sheldon. Here he was just a few steps away but still so very far, probably too far to ever reach him.
Then a completely different thing crossed her mind all of a sudden. What had Sheldon said about the Relationship Agreement? He wanted to change it?
Amy felt her cheeks fire up. Maybe he wanted to add a kissing section?
She smiled broadly and turned around. This Valentine's Day was probably the best day in her entire life.
The rest of the weekend had passed pretty calmly. They went on wine tours, tried different wines, enjoyed the views and had a lot of fun together. And Amy was surprised that Sheldon had managed to not mention the kiss to anyone. But maybe he had already forgotten about it already?
She looked at her boyfriend next to her. He sat in the train, staring out of the window and he seemed happy. Of course – he was in a train. A train was something like Disneyland to Sheldon… the happiest place on Earth.
Amy sighed and realized that Bernadette looked at her. She smiled and Bernadette smiled back but there was something in that smile, that made Amy see she felt sorry for her. Yes, of course, Sheldon wasn't an easy person but he was the only one she'd ever wanted. And it definitely would stay like that for a while.
Amy grabbed a magazine and flipped through it but she didn't even pay attention to what was going on in there. She just heard quiet whispers from Howard and Bernadette and then quiet kissing noises and it kind of burned inside of her heart. No, she was happy for her friends, but she wanted another kiss. Maybe it hadn't been the best thing that he had kissed her so gently because now that she knew what it felt like, she wanted it, every minute of every day. But with Sheldon, who knew. She probably would have to wait weeks or months for it to happen again.
"Oh, Amy, look! This building over there looks really interesting!" Sheldon leaned back so that his girlfriend could come closer and see what he meant.
Amy leaned over and looked out of the window. "What? Which one?"
"Over there!"
"I don't see it"
"More to the right"
"Where?"
"Well, here!" He gently placed his pointer and thumb around her chin and lead her head to the direction he had been meaning to direct her to.
Amy swallowed. "Oh. I see."
Sheldon's fingers were still touching her chin. "Maybe we should come back someday, for a little tour."
"Yes" Amy looked to her left, Sheldon's face was only a few millimeters away from hers.
Then she caught him looking at her lips. She got dizzy. Would he…?
His look drifted off and he immediately let go. Amy was confused and backed off into her seat. Then she realized what had distracted him… they had completely forgotten that Bernadette and Howard were still here. They were pretty much occupied with each other but still… Sheldon felt like this newly ordained tenderness should stay between them. Mostly because it was still new and he still didn't really know what to think about it.
He turned to look back out the window and Amy turned back to her magazine. But her thoughts were spinning. He was so intimate with her, in his own sweet way. She needed to know what he wanted to change in the Relationship Agreement. Maybe it was even more than just kissing…
"Guys, we'll be here soon" Howard had already gotten up from his seat.
"Oh! Uhm, yes!" Amy tossed the magazine back onto the little table and got up.
Once they had all their suitcases, they walked down the corridor to get to the next exit door. Sheldon was right behind Amy.
"Amy?"
"Yes?" She turned her head aside so she could hear him better.
"Would you do me a favor and drive me home?"
"Of course, Sheldon"
"Thank you, Amy"
The car ride had been easier than Amy had thought. The mood had been light and good, they probably both were relaxed enough from the holidays to not make a big deal out of anything… even though it was a quite big deal.
"He played the banjo quite well! Admit it, you liked it!"
"Yes, it was okay" Amy grinned.
Sheldon did his sniffy laugh and then turned quiet. "Well, we're almost there."
"Yep" Amy sighed and didn't realize that Sheldon looked at her for that.
She parked the car near the apartment building. Then she unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car. Sheldon did the same.
They got his suitcase out of the trunk and then walked a few steps.
"Well, that was a nice trip. Thank you again, Amy."
"You're welcome" She smiled and looked into his eyes.
He didn't smile back. His eyes looked down onto her lips again. All of a sudden it was quiet. And there they were, both not quite sure what to do next.
"Well" He glanced at her lips again but forced his eyes away from them. "Good night, Amy."
"Good night, Sheldon" Okay, that was it, then.
Amy turned around and went back to her car. She wasn't sure if he was moving, or standing there and looking after her but she didn't dare to turn around again, afraid she'd look awkward. But then she remembered what she actually had planned to ask him.
"Oh, Sheldon, wait!" She turned around and he was still standing in the same spot.
But then he started moving and stood right in front of her. Pretty close in front of her.
"Yes?" His voice was soft and calm, his eyes wandered around on her face.
She cleared her throat. "You said something about changing something in the Relationship Agreement…"
"Oh, true!" He smiled. "I think we should add…"
"Yes?" She held her breath.
"Train rides"
Amy loudly sighed but then smiled and nodded. "Good idea. We'll add train rides."
"Very well! I'll go and prepare everything then, right now. So you can sign it by tomorrow!"
"Alright"
"Well, then… good night, Amy" Without any hesitation he slowly stepped closer to her, bent down and put his lips onto hers. A lot softer than two days ago.
Amy leaned back against her car cause she felt her knees getting weak. And then she felt his hands, both of them. Around her, just above her hips, resting on her lower back.
It felt like a little eternity but Amy loved it. She enjoyed every little second, every little movement and the fact that he tasted awesome. She couldn't define what exactly it was but probably it was just him. Since her arms were trapped in his little embrace, she decided to put them up and her hands softly rested on his chest until he, heavy heartedly, pulled back and their lips separated. They both let their arms sink back down again and Sheldon took a step back. No words were needed. They smiled at each other before Sheldon turned around and grabbed his bags. She stood there until he had disappeared in the apartment building.
Then she bit her lips and smiled. Something new had begun. And she was curious to find out how it would continue.
The end.
