The engagement party
It was a few weeks after Penny had proposed to Leonard and they were preparing to have a little engagement party. Nothing big, just a few friends over at their apartment and a nice fancy dress code. They had been planning it for it for days, and were very excited. It would give Penny a chance to really show off her man, tell people how special he his, make people envy her. She was so excited! The party was meant to start at 7, so they had to start getting ready earlier, as they knew that Sheldon would be there bang on time.
Leonard was wearing a dark grey suite and a white shirt. He was going to wear a tie, but they had been shoved in the back of Penny's wardrobe since the move, and he really didn't want to search in there. Penny was wearing a little black dress that clung to her perfect figure. She didn't bother with shoes, they were only staying at theirs for the night, and she didn't see any point. Besides, she would probably end up taking them off anyway. Penny walked out of the bathroom and into their bedroom. Leonard immediately turned around and looked at her with love in his eyes. "Wow, you look absolutely stunning" he said as he walked towards her. Her heart practically melted every time he said something like that to her. If she was quite honest, she didn't think that she was overly pretty, but Leonard would always tell her the opposite. To him, she was the most beautiful woman he had ever met, and he was going to spend the rest of his life with her. Penny placed her hands on the collars of his jacket and said "you don't look too bad yourself, you're very handsome". He leant down and kissed her. He loved it when she said things like that. Most of the time he couldn't believe she was with him. He kissed her again, this time deepening the kiss, until they both had to pull away before both of them started ripping each other's clothes off. They just stared into each other's eyes for a few minutes until Penny finally spoke, "I love you so much, you know that right?" Leonard smiled; he still loved it when she said those words. "Yes" he replied "I love you too" he said with a small smile. They kissed again until they were interrupted by…
*knock, knock, knock*
Leonard and penny
*knock, knock, knock*

They both sighed and Penny went to answer the door. "Hey sweetie, you're right on time". "Well of course I am, why would I turn up late?" he questioned. "Never mind, come in". Sheldon entered and sat in his 'spot' he had at Penny's as Leonard emerged from the bedroom. He said his hellos to Sheldon, and then started to help Penny with the food and drinks.
Everyone else turned up within the hour. Penny and Bernadette were stood talking to a few of the girls from the Cheesecake factory, and Leonard was talking to the guys and some Professors from the University. They kept glancing over at each other and smiling, then returning back to their conversations. Leonard headed off to the kitchen to get a drink. Penny noticed this and followed him. "Hey you, I feel like I haven't seen you much tonight" she said putting her arms around his waist. "hmmmm, I know" he replied, turning round so that he could see her face. He placed his hands on her hips and leant in to kiss her. It was only a quick kiss as everyone was there. Penny placed her head in his chest, breathing in his scent. She loved how he smelt, masculine, mixed with his deodorant. When they finally released each other they went back to join their guests, together. First they walked over to Bernadette and Penny's friends and talked to them for a bit. Penny talked Leonard up, telling them how great he was. "We always just sit and cuddle, he's such a gentleman" Leonard started to blush, not really saying much. He loved that Penny thought this about him. He squeezed her hand, which he had been holding since they arrived there. She turned to him and smiled. After they finished talking to the girls, they went and joined the 'nerds' as Penny would call them. Now it was Leonard's turn to talk Penny up. "She's so kind and caring, and makes my day 100x better, even just by her smiling at me." He said. Penny felt tears I her eyes start to form. She was so touched by what he had said about her. She placed her hand on his shoulder and stared at him. He took her hand and kissed it. Sheldon scuffed about, he hated it when they did that- but they didn't care. He had already had a moan about them having to dress up and the food wasn't very 'fancy' as he put it, but they didn't let it get to them, this was their night, and they weren't going to let anyone spoil it.
