Leonard paced around his apartment cell phone in hand he wanted to call Penny but whenever he brought up the number he panicked. Why is this so hard he grumbled? His friends were right he needed to talk to her. He thought about what it would be like going out with Penny. He knew he wasn't the type she would usually go for. He imagined the kind of guys she would usually date. Tall, muscles to kill for and very good looking. He had none of that physique. How long before she got bored of him and went back to dating guys like that. But all the signs pointed to an overwhelming, magnetic attraction that could not be broken.
Penny thought about what her mom said. She knew she was right. She wanted to call him but didn't know what to say. He probably didn't want anything to do with her after she ran off. She wouldn't blame him. She thought about what a relationship would be like with him. He was a genius and a scientist with a well-accomplished career according to Bernadette. He had no business dating a high school dropout. How long before he got bored of her and he dumped her for someone more like him, her heart sank a little but she somehow knew he wasn't that type of guy. The way he looked at her, the sprinkle in his eyes and the tingle in her body from his touch that transcends anything she has ever experienced before. She had never experienced these deep feelings with anyone not even Kurt. It made her wonder if she was ever in love with Kurt, was it just lust and a sense of being wanted. How she never saw it before was beyond her. He was manipulative selfish, arrogant and totally mean. She remembers her family and friends telling her he wasn't right for her but she wouldn't listen as much as she hated to admit it they were right they knew her better than she knew herself.
Leonard tried to get some work done on his laptop to take his mind away from his thoughts. It wasn't working he looked at his cell longing for it to ring. He thought of the age difference she was in her early twenties why he was close to thirty. But he felt like he had found something that has always been missing in his life and he wasn't about to let it go. He just wanted to get close to her. Every single girl dated, he thought he was in love with them. Maybe it was to do with his childhood experiences and just wanted to be loved but with Penny, something felt different he didn't know if it was love but it just felt right he cared about this girl more than he had ever cared for anyone. Leonard envisions a happy future with Penny.
Penny yawned as she poured herself another glass of wine. Why was this so hard she thought? It didn't bother her that he seems a little older than her all she knew is that she felt this overwhelmed sense of attraction to him and the feeling of been complete. It felt like her walls have been torn down and smacked her awake. She looks at her cell hoping it would ring. Her heart is screaming for her to calls him.
Leonard couldn't get the thoughts of Penny out of his head. He felt lonely and empty but at the same time felt at peace and calm. Leonard thought about the first time he saw her at the cheese factory he always thought he would be alone, none of his past relationships lasted and had given up hope of ever finding love. Then he met her and took his heart. He felt that the universe was giving them the signal trying to bring them together to become each other's one in a billion match.
Penny couldn't stop thinking about Leonard that smile he told her he created just for her made her heart explode with joy. Penny thought about the first time she heard his sweet voice and how broken and feelings of being alone she must have sounded to him. But he still saw so much in her and instead of judging her, he listened and reached out to a total stranger. Penny felt like all the recent occurrences that don't seem to make sense but in her mind it somehow did that the two of them have been brought together for a purpose. She had this feeling of being part of a whole.
He tried to call her several times but each time he panicked and ended the call. What if she didn't answer because she didn't want to speak to him or anything to do with him? He wondered if she had a boyfriend and didn't want to get her in trouble and what if he picks up her cell. All this scenario was spinning around in his head. He finally brought up the courage to call her. He took a deep breath and hit call. He got an engaged tone.
Every time she tried to call him her heart rate increased like crazy. She kept looking at her phone display showing his number but every time she went to press call she changed her mind. What if he rejects her or doesn't pick up because he has a girlfriend she didn't want to cause problems between them. She wasn't sure if she would be able to handle any more rejection her hand trembled as she finally hit call. She got an engaged tone.
