The Big day

It had been about a month now since Leonard had 'officially moved in. most of his stuff was still at Sheldon's as they still hadn't told him yet, but they spend every night in their apartment, sleeping in each other's arms. Penny loved it. She loved being with him every day, waking up to him, going to sleep in his arms. She loved him.

Today was a big day for Penny, she felt ready. She was prepared, she had a briefing from the girls the night before, and today she was going to do it. She was going to propose to Leonard. She couldn't wait; she had been keeping it a secret for so long, now was the right time. Things were perfect between them, they were happy and back to normal. She had woken up last night thinking about it, she stared at him, she loved everything about him. He was the best thing that happened to her and tonight she was going to tell him.

It started off as just a normal day, waking up in each other's arms, hugging for a moment, then they merged from her- sorry their room took a shower and made breakfast. He offered her a lift today, which she was glad about. Sheldon wouldn't be there today, he was coming in later with Amy, so she could have some alone time with Leonard. When they got in the car, they turned the radio up and Penny started singing. She loved listening to music whilst in the car; she would always sing at the top of her lungs and dance about! This always made Leonard smile. When they got to her work, they said their goodbyes, and she told him that she had a little surprise for him later, of course he tried to drain information out of her, but she wouldn't spill. She said goodbye and kissed him, walking off with a smile on her face. 'He has no idea', she said to herself quietly.

When Penny got home from work, she immediately started cleaning the apartment and setting it up for tonight. She thought about going out to some restaurant, but she decided against it. This was Penny's moment; she wanted it to be personal. She wasn't one for sharing feelings; it took her so long to tell Leonard that she loved him, yet she didn't know why. She always knew that she had loved him, it was just the fact of her telling him that freaked her out. So that's why she decided it would be best to have a romantic evening in, otherwise she thought she might bottle out, and she didn't want that.

Penny lit candles, scattered rose petals, set the table, made everything perfect for when he returned. She was cooking spaghetti, which was the only thing she could cook. She was so excited and itching to do it, yet a bit nervous. What if he says no? What would she do if he said no? Would she be able to handle it? But she tried to get these thought out of her head, for now anyway…

Leonard returned home at about the usual time and was shocked at what he saw when he entered. A smile lit up his face as he saw her cooking. He really loved it when she did that. "So this is my surprise is it?" he questioned putting his hands on her hips. "Mmm part of it!" she replied. She leant in to kiss him and he kissed her back. After they ate Penny took their plates away and sat back down. "Leonard, I've got to tell you something, I… um… have been thinking a lot recently and I just realised how perfect my life is right now. I have you, and you're just wonderful. You're so nice to me and you treat me so well, even if I'm being a compete bitch!" Leonard tilted his head, Penny knew what that meant. "And I just want you to know how much I love you and how much I care about you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you Leonard Hofstader, so will you marry me?" she finally finished with tears in her eyes. Leonard was taken back. He wasn't expecting that, he knew that he wanted to be with Penny for the rest of his life, and he knew she wanted that too, but he just never imagined her saying those words. Penny started to get panicked until his smile broadened. "Yes of course I will!" he replied. She let out a sigh of relief and the tears came running down, happy tears. She was going to be with the man that she loved for the rest of her life. They reached over the table and passionately kissed each other, both never wanting to let go. That was it now, them together forever.
