Chapter 4-

A few seconds later Penny whispered "And there's no-one in the world I would rather lean on." She smiled at him. The words from Penny took away Leonard's doubt; he took his arm from his knee and maneuvered her so it was behind her back and resting on her hip.

This made Penny lean on Leonard's chest, "Mmm, that's better." She said whilst putting her hand on his knee.

He took her hand straight away and locked fingers with hers. Penny wondered why he had done this, he was the one who had left that night, he was the one that had walked out of the door. But she knew he did the right thing and that he was accurate in what he had said.

Right then, that moment the intimacy was perfect for the both of them, Leonard was holding Penny like he wanted to do for the rest of his life and their fingers fit perfectly together. He was surprised how good they fitted together.

After about 30 minutes of Penny being asleep she awoke with Leonard looking down at her and smiling. She undid their fingers and moved her hand to his neck, just like she was doing last night, she raked her fingers through his hair; eventually letting her hand land on his cheek. Leonard looked into her eyes once again, Penny could feel how much he was in love with her, she could see it in his eyes.

"You are beautiful Penny." Leonard told her.

"No I'm not!" She replied.

"Yes you are" Leonard continued but whispering in her ear so Sheldon or Amy couldn't hear him. "You're beautiful, perfect, amazing, perfect-"

"You already said perfect." Penny told him looking embarrassed.

"Just wanted to make it clear, just so you know." Leonard winked at her.

Penny felt her love for Leonard building up, she took her hand off his cheek and wrapped it around his belly tightly squeezing him. She needed him.

Leonard took his right hand and moved her hair out of Penny's face. His other underneath her top drawing patterns on her stomach.

"You don't understand how hard it was for me to leave you last night Penny, I want nothing more than to be with you! You know that, right?" Leonard asked.

"It hurt me too Leonard, the fact you think I'm going to break you again, hurts. It hurts me that you can't trust me to love you. I can't promise I won't hurt you again but I've been thinking, there are no ways I could hurt you! I can tell you that I love you, if you asked me to marry you I would say yes, I want to have children with you and I would never ever cheat on you Leonard because you're my life, and if I lose you my life would be over. I would have nothing to live for."

"Do you know what I did last night when I left? I sat outside my room sobbing, sobbing over you. I thought you would chase me, and if you did I was there, with open arms waiting, but you never did."

"Because you were right! I needed to think, but now I know that it's you I want for the rest of my life." Penny told him.

Sheldon turned around to look at the pair; they were still holding each other. "Can you two be quiet and quit your jibber jabber!"

"Shut up Sheldon!" Both Leonard and Penny shouted in sync.

Sheldon turned to face forward, crossed his arms and sighed.

Penny drifted off to sleep again for the rest of the journey. All the time she was asleep Leonard stared at her all the way home thinking about her being his, this automatically made Leonard smile. He just wanted to kiss her.

When they got back Sheldon and Amy walked inside the building, they left Leonard trying to wake Penny up from her deep sleep. He stood up and Penny shifted her weight so she was laid down on the back seats. Leonard tried to shake her leg but she wasn't responding.

He stood next to the seat in the car and leaned over her, stroking her face. Her eyes began to flutter open.

Because Leonard had been at the conference he didn't have his usual tee and a jacket on, he had a suit with a tie.

Penny looked up at Leonard and smiled, she grabbed the end of his tie pulling him towards her. She captured her lips, there it was, sexual tension. He didn't at first but, eventually, Leonard kissed her back.

When they pulled away Penny told Leonard she loved him, obviously he said it back.

"Come on, let's get you home in bed." Leonard told her whilst putting one of his hands on her back and one on the back of her knees in the crease.

He picked her up and carried her out of the car, using his leg to shut the door.

Penny trusted Leonard and just snuggled into his neck wrapping both her arms around his neck. She kissed him again, but only a quick one.

Leonard carried her up the 4 flights of stairs.

"Right, where's your key?" Leonard asked Penny.

"In my jeans back pocket, but I can't reach so you're going to have to get it." Penny told him with a smirk.

Because Leonard couldn't get the key without dropping Penny he lifted her up and put her over his shoulder, he reached into her pocket covering her bum and got the key. He was trying his best not to feel aroused at this point.

He put the key in the lock and opened Penny's door. With her still over his shoulder he walked into her bedroom and placed Penny on her bed.

Leonard started to walk away; Penny asked, "Where are you going?"

Leonard turned around to look at her and smiled cheekily, he replied with "Just going to get a condom. I'll be back soon."

There will 100% be smut in chapter 5, but for now please review this chapter.
