So as decided I carried on with the story. Hope you like it.
Sheldon had followed a strict schedule since he went off to college at aged eleven. He knew that if he was to succeed in making Penny his mate he would have to change his schedule to accommodate her more.
Although Penny joined the group for many planned activities they did throughout the week and they went to eat at The Cheesecake Factory when it was her shift on Tuesday nights, he would have to include couple time.
Anything can happen Thursdays could be date night, that was a plausible solution.
They did their laundry together at 8.15pm on Saturdays that was something that only they did could that be construed as a couples activity?
It was Halo night and it was time to put Step one of his plan into action.
Sheldon had researched that woman responded positively towards compliments and physical contact. Now while in the past Sheldon realised that Penny thought her was insulting her when he spoke of her intelligence he was actually trying to make her have a more in depth knowledge of things by explaining them to her. He did not think that these were the right way to go now in securing Penny to become romantically involved with him. He also knew that he would have to find away around his fear of germs as if he was to enter into a relationship with Penny she would want coitus.
He knew that Penny had had many sexual partners judging by the many men he has seen leaving her apartment early in the morning or times he has seen her come home in the same clothes she left in the night before. Sheldon had no experience in this field but if he thought about it the only person that he could see himself doing such carnal activities with was Penny. She was so sweet and gentle with him in every day experiences that he would think that she would be kind and loving in the bedroom as well.
It was Sheldon's plan that during the game when Penny was sitting in her spot next to him that he would occasionally bump knees or brush hands with her, which he knew would get her attention as he normally sat right in the corner of his spot in order to avoid un necessary contact. Sheldon took an unscheduled shower before the others arrived and Leonard was out getting take out. He knew that Penny came home, went for a shower after her shift at the cheese cake factory and then came around, so she would be rid of most of the un necessary bacteria that she would of been carrier too before.
The guys came around and Leonard arrived with the food when Sheldon heard the tell tale sounds of Penny's footsteps on the stairs. 20 minutes later she walked into their apartment freshly showered and sat in her spot.
"Hey guys"
The others responded with varied greetings, while Sheldon waited the other guys attention went back towards the television when he leaned in slightly closer than he would normally and said
"hello Penny, your hair smells nice tonight"
He wasn't lying her hair really did smell amazing, he loved her green apple shampoo, and whenever he has an apple he always thought of her.
She looked startled for a second before turning towards him.
"Thanks Sheldon" she whispered back.
The Halo game was intense, they played against each other instead of teams tonight and as predicted it was Penny against Sheldon in the final. Another part of Sheldon's plan would be to allow Penny to win, so he started off playing his normal and then started to play a little less but before he could full let Penny win, she beat him herself.
He knew that more physical contact was required and a congratulatory pat on the back is what is common when someone wins a game so that is what he did and this time she froze and eyed him curiously for a moment before turning back to the others and bidding her farewells.
"Good bye Penny, you played well tonight" another compliment came from his mouth. This complement idea is rather easy he thought to himself, not at all the struggle he imagined it would be to start with, they seemed to flow from his mouth freely and without much thinking required, and the way Penny smiled her dazzling smile at him when he did just made it that little bit better as well.
Well that's it. Let me know what you think :)
