Chapter 28
A few days later Leonard was in his lab going over some papers when he heard a knock on the door. He looked up and saw a very distressed Jasmine. "Hey...come in and talk to me." Leonard felt worried and just wanted to hug his daughter. Just the look on her face he knew something was wrong.
Jasmine walked in and stood next to Leonard letting out a big sigh. "I'm sorry..." She felt she had to apologize.
Leonard frowned at Jasmine not understanding why she was apologizing to him. "For what?"
Jasmine was chewing her lip and giving him a sad look. "Well I'm sure Penny told you I met your lovely mother. I might have kept my cool with her but afterwards when she left I called her a few choice words. It was upsetting what she accused me of."
Leonard shook his head at her, "Do not worry about it. My mother is far from lovely. When it comes to her and I, we don't have the best relationship. To my brother and sister she is like Mrs. Brady. To me she is more like the devil. It is her own fault she refuses to get to know you, my mother is missing out on an amazing person. I think she will come around, Iean she eventually did with Penny. Jasmine she is not worth the time, so no worries." He tried his best to comfort Jasmine, but back of his mind he would be making a phone call to Beverly.
Jasmine nodded and told Leonard okay. She then suggested to pick up Penny for lunch since she did not have class until later. Leonard loved the idea and called his wife. Leonard and Jasmine smiled at Penny's reaction that she could not refuse and had to get away from.the office for awhile because certian coworkers were driving her crazy.
Leonard came home a little early from work. One he was done with work early and two he had to get away from Barry Kripke. Leonard had enough of him bragging about his mother and what he did with her. Something you do not want to hear from a coworker and your own mother. Leonard grew a headache from Kripke's annoyance.
Leonard sat on the couch after taking some headache medicine and picked up his phone. After some debate in his own mind, he called Beverly. To his surprise, she did not answer so he left a message. "Hello mom, I know you are ignoring me. You have your typical reasons and probably have different reasons today. Yes I know what happened last night. I am use to you being that way towards me but my daughter is a different story. Plus you upset Penny. We need to talk because I will stand up and defend my wife and my daughter. I am free rest of the day. So if you call I know you care." Leonard pressed the red button and laid his phone on the coffee table. Then decided to lay down to get rid of his headache.
Leonard felt lips across his own. "Mmmm!" Only sound escaping from his mouth. He slowly opened his eyes and pulled his glasses bacl over them only seeing a blonde woman looking down at him with a big smile. He slowly sat up taking Penny's hands into his to pull her close next to him. "Hi!" he said as she sat down.
Penny chuckled, "Hi yourself, looks like you are not the only one to see me." Penny looked down at his lap and raised an eyebrow looking back up at his face.
Leonard lolooked down and felt embarrassed and grabbed a pillow to cover his lower self up. "Oh god!" feeling red in his face.
Penny bit her lip from laughing. "Sweetie you are still embarrassed waking up excited after being with me for how long now? Sweetie you know it's a compliment for me I can still make you feel this way." Before Penny knew it she was off the couch and in their bedroom with Leonard whispering in her ear, "You will always make me feel this way. You just made my day a whole lot better." Penny shuddered to Leonard's words as now she pushed him onto thier bed.
A few hours later Leonard was making dinner as Penny helped. Every so often Leonard would pause and give Penny a kiss or go down to his knees and kiss her stomach. Penny found it annoying at first but changed her mind how cute Leonard looked only making her smile with happy tears. Leonard held her and told Penny how happy he was she was showing her emotions more even though it was taking time to get use to. Penny joked back telling him to shut up and it was all his fault.
As they began to eat, Leonard's phone began to go off. He got up and saw it was his mother. Leonard looked at Penny with doubt, "Should I answer it?"
Penny shrugged, "Honey that is up to you but her refusing your call earlier I wouldn't answer. I am sure she has something to say but my opinion she can wait. She will probably get into your head and we will end up having a fight. Usually how it works."
Leonard pressed the ignore button and put his phone back down. He rejoined his wife and ate dinner.
