A/N Thank you to everyone who reviewed my first chapter and for wanting me continue this story so here it is the second chapter I hope you like it.
After waking up the next morning after her night out with the girls, she instantly regretted agreeing to Cheryl's bet because all the confidence she had whilst out had left her also Cheryl seemed to pleased with herself. That wasn't a good sign plus it seemed that Emma knew who these guys where but neither would tell her anything about them ,she wondered if this was a elaborate set up to get her to start dating again.
So here she was at work doing the Tuesday late shift for Emma so she could meet these guys and get one of them to ask her out, she still knew nothing about them she had asked where they at least into women. Cheryl's response didn't fill her with confidence, apparently one definitely was as he had hit on every waittress who he'd seen, the others they weren't sure about but assumed they where.
Penny was in the staff room having a minute when Cheryl came in grinning" There here" almost jumping up and down on the spot with excitement.
With a sigh Penny got up and went out to see her prospective date, she didn't immediately spot them " Cheryl where are they I thought you said they where here" Penny still looking round trying to spot them.
Cheryl was still grinning "oh they're here alright" Penny just frowned and continued to scan the tables, when her eyes fell on a group of four guys at a table, any confidence she had left was now gone. There where four guys at a table and at first glance she guessed where nerds she doubted they'd ever been on a date, heck she doubted they'd even talked to a woman before, she turned to Cheryl and glared at her.
"Seriously those guys"
Cheryl just shrugged while still smiling" What you said you could get any guy to ask you out why not one of those"
Penny huffed" Fine It might be harder than I thought but i'll still be able to get one of them to ask me out" with that made her way over to the table hearing Cheryl wish her luck. As she walked over she could only see to of the guys fronts the others had there backs to her, one was kind of cute with his natural dark skin, the other not so much with his beetles haircut and what looked like a Dickie.
As she approached the table she paused taking a breathe before announcing herself" Hi I'm Penny i'll be your waitress, can I start you off with some drinks?"
One of the two who had his back to her before turned and looked at her incredulously" I'm sorry you are not our waitress Emma is , every Tuesday at 6pm we come here and are served by Emma I don't know who you are or if you followed Cheesecake Factory protocol when handling food"
Penny just stood there open mouthed at what she'd just heard, well she thought that's one down, she then heard one of the others speak it was beatles hair cut
"Sheldon be nice, Enchante, mademoiselle. I'm Howard Wolowitz, Caltech Department of Applied Physics. You maybe familiar with some of my work. It's currently orbiting Jupiter's largest moon taking high-resolution digital photographs".
Penny just looked at him with a blank expression before turning to the rest" Okay do you guys no what you want or do you need a few minutes?". wanting to get away from the creepy guy who was called Howard she didn't give them time to answer "A few minutes it is"
She was just about to walk away when she heard Howard say something that she didn't understand making her turn back around "I'm sorry?
Howard spoke up again" Haven't you ever been told how beautiful you are in flawless Russian?".
"No I haven't"
"Get used to it"
"Yeah, I probably won't"
"You should it's a sentiment I can express in six languages"
It was the one she hadn't seen yet who spoke up" Howard save it for your blog" He looked at her and Penny was surprised he was really cute with his black rimmed glasses and dark curly hair" Can we have three diet cokes and a lemonade please"
Penny couldn't help herself from smiling at him" Sure i'll be right back" with that she left the table, the ones called Sheldon and Howard where clearly out and to be honest it didn't really matter about the dark skinned guy was like either. Because the cute guy with glasses was her intended target all she had to do was get him to ask her out then she would have new pair of shoes for her collection.
She returned with there drinks" Okay here are your diet cokes and lemonade , so whos having what?"
It was the cute guy again who answered "The cokes are for me Howard and Raj and the lemonade is for Sheldon" nodding to each person as he said it"
Penny put the drinks in front of each of them when she saw him look at her she smiled at him, which made him blush and look away' wow he's adorable' she thought still smiling.
taking her tray back to the bar and returning to the table she pulled out her notepad" So are you guys ready to order?
Howard answered first"What do you recommend for someone with a man-sized appetite from a morning of weight-training and cardio-funk?"
"A Shower" Penny answered feeling quite nauseated.
Howard looked dejected"I'll take the heart-smart platter".
Penny watched the one called Raj whisper in Howard's ear" Raj would like a meat lovers pizza with no meat"
Penny turned to The cute guy" Is he okay?"
It was Sheldon who spoke "Don't take it personally he can't talk to women"
Penny looked confused ,until cute guy answered" He has selective mutism, and can only talk to women he's related too"
"He can't talk to attractive women or in your case a cheesecake-scented goddess" Howard said whilst leering at her.
Penny was getting a little annoyed with him now, through gritted teeth" Howard please stop doing that"
"All right can we dispense with the pointless chit chat i'd like to order my meal" Sheldon said
"Okay what would you like?"
"I would like a barbecue bacon cheeseburger, barbecue sauce, bacon and cheese on the side, and can you watch the food preparation to insure no one touches my food"
Penny just stared at him' was he being serious 'she thought "No"
"Leonard I don't like this new waitress I want our regular waitress, she makes sure no one touches my food"
"Sheldon no one will touch your food you'll be fine, can I have a quesadilla with soy cheese please"
'So cute guys name is Leonard 'Flashing him a smile "Of course, i'll be back with your meals soon" Penny gave Leonard another smile before heading off to the kitchen and placing there orders.
After placing there orders she noticed Cheryl walk up to her with a huge grin on her face "So Penny have any of them asked you out yet?"
"No and stopped looking so pleased with yourself this wasn't a fair bet"
"Of course it was you told us you could get any guy to ask you out, well they're guys so get one of them to ask you out"
"I will just you watch" Penny said before walking away, she needed to think, how was she going to get one of them to ask her out , well how was she going to get Leonard to ask her out. The others where definitely out, Sheldon was annoying, Howard was a creep although he'd probably be the one she'd have the easiest time getting to ask her out. I mean we could go for a just a coffee that would count as a date, then she could win the bet and get her new shoes, nope whilst she wanted to win there was no chance she would do that. Raj was unable to talk to her so wouldn't be able to ask her out, but she had noticed that he leered at her just like Howard so she wondered if he could talk was he just like him. Leonard was definitely the one but she still had no answer because she doubted flirting with would even get his attention, deciding that she'll just have drop hints to him aswell as flirt and see if he picks up on them.
Satisfied with her plan she made her way back to the guys table hoping that it'll work
