Penny breathed out heavily. She locked her door, and headed to her bedroom. She grabbed her Ipod before locking herself into her small bathroom. She ran the water, pushing the little nose up so the water wouldn't drain. Twisting a cap of a bottle of 'sweet pea' bubble bath, letting the soft purple liquid foam with the hot running water pouring from the shower facet. She pushed back her white curtain with colourful circles to one side. Slipping out of her clothes, she put her hair up in a clip. Sinking chest deep into the bubbling sweet oasis, she turned off the water, as a relaxing melody poured out of her headphones.

The smile that once held up her face, broke, when "What Hurt's The Most" came playing through and soaked her mind with regret. Tears flowed through her shields of summer fields of green. Her eyes close tighter, trying to push his face out of her mind. Her heart ached, her body trembled, as she thought of the fact, that she lost her chance. That he would never hold her in his arms, they would never cuddle on her or his couch, watching a movie. A flashback flowed through her mind.

She was on her couch with Leonard, they were happily dating. She leaned against his side, with her head on his right shoulder, his arm draped behind her. He threw a handful of popcorn at her, she laughed, and threw one back. He began tickling her, she feel unto her back, her head against the right arm. He grabbed the plastic bowl and shook the sweet salty goodness over her. Giggles flew out of her mouth merrily. Leonard leaned down and suck a popcorn into his mouth from inside her cleavage, a proud and goofy smile appeared across the lower half of his handsome face. She shook her head, with a smile, grabbing the sides of his face. She brought him into a kiss.

The memory brought a grateful smile to her lips. A loud noise at her bathroom door startled her. She removed the ear buds.

Knock knock knock. "Penny." knock knock knock. "Penny." Penny rolled her eyes. knock knock knock. "Penny."

"Sheldon, I'm busy." Her eyebrows furrowed. "How did you get into my apartment."

"You gave me a spare key for emergencies."

"Is this an emergency?"

"Leonard's crying."

Penny sighed. "Let me get dressed, I'll be right over."

"Okay. Penny did you buy adhesive ducks yet?"

"Get out Sheldon!" Penny screamed.

"Fine." He left her apartment.

Penny unplugged the rubber stopper from the bottom of the tub. She got out wrapping a pink towel around herself, after drying off she slipped into pink running shorts, and a white v-neck top. She put on her flip flops and headed across the hall. Without knocking, she walked in. She saw Sheldon sitting in his 'spot'.

"Where is he?" She asked, as she continued her path through the living room.

"Bedroom again. You know Penny, this is getting old."

"You know Sheldon, you're an ass." She headed to Leonard's room, leaving a baffled Sheldon in his spot. She just walked in.

"Of course, he went and got you." Leonard said, as he saw her walk in, he started back at the boringly white ceiling.

"What's wrong?" She plopped down on the bed, one leg bent on the mattress, with her foot underneath her left kneecap. The other foot planted on the wood floor.

"It's over. Priya and I. I-" He sighed deeply into the space above his mouth. "I broke it off. I know I'm not much, but I guess I deserve better than that."

"You guess?" She stood up. "Leonard, stop selling yourself short. How many times do I got to tell you how amazing you are?"

"I few more times, if you don't mind." He gave her his sexy crooked smile.

She hung her head, nodding side to side slowly, a smile appeared. She sat back down. "Conceded are we?"

"Your the one that said how wonderful I was." He grinned, and sat up, crossing his legs together. "About earlier." He gave her a sideways glance.

"Sorry about that. You were venerable, I shouldn't have."

"Penny, do you still like me? I mean, more than friends."

"Leonard you just broke up with Priya. Now's not the time to even think about a relationship."

"So your saying, after some time. You would give me another chance?"

"Maybe." She answered. "Leonard, honestly. Yes, I still have feelings for you. But I don't want to be the rebound."

He leaned forward, placing on hand on her rosy cheek. He gave her a short soft kiss. "You coud never be the rebound. Your her."

"Her?" Penny raised her eyebrow, in a questioning matter.

He grabbed her hands, and held them in his. "The one. I know that I got too series for you, but it's the truth. You are the one, you'll always will be. Wither we end up together or not. Your it. Your the only woman I've been able to picture a life with."

She smiled at him, she leaned in and gave him a kiss. Their forehead's leaned against each other for a moment. "That's good to know. You know, I pictured a life with you too." She smiled, looking into his glorious brown eyes. "It's late can we talk about it tomorrow?" She asked, after yawning.

He smiled. "Yeah, I think we both need to think about stuff anyway."

"Yeah."

"So you staying over?" He wiggled his eyebrows.

She laughed and shook her head no.

"Darn." He smiled, causing her to laugh.

She stood up. "G'night Leonard."

He watched her open the bedroom door. "Night." He gave her a tired smile.

She left. She walked into the living room, Sheldon peeled his eyes off the t.v and looked at her, he turned off the television.

"So?" He asked, walking past her into the kitchen. Just as his tea pot whistled.

"He'll be fine."

"What's wrong with him?" Sheldon asked, stirring honey and sugar into his tea.

She looked down the hallway, before walking towards him. "I think he should tell you."

"If he's going to tell me, what did I need you for?"

She let out a soft titter. She stood on her tip-toes, giving Sheldon a quick kiss on the cheek. "Good night Sweetie."

Sheldon watched her leave. "Why are woman so confusing." He shook his head, before sipping at the rim of his red cup. He switched the light off, before heading to his bedroom.
