This chapter was fun to write. I hope you guys enjoy it. Inspiration came from season 4 and user SRAM. Been watching alot of reruns abd its been awesome to go back. I don't own TBBT. Chapter 17
Even with Sheldon throwing strikes on Leonard and Penny, he still had to make up a new roommate agreement that involved Penny. Anyways, Leonard enjoyed the next few days off of work due to his injured foot and not being able to drive. Penny offered him to stay at her place and spend the night when she got home from the Cheesecake Factory or if Penny had late nights on her movie set, Leonard would go over to her place after Sheldon went to bed and wait for his girlfriend.
Penny loved coming home with Leonard already at her apartment because it reminded her of their time in New York. But since Leonard could not be on his foot much, they had alot of take out or delivery. Penny didn't mind much because she would take care of her man as they cuddled up on the couch between watching t.v., or Penny talked about the gossil at the restaurant or what was happening on the movie set. But a couple things that surprised them was as much Penny didn't care for books or sci-fi, she would lay in Leonard's arms and just enjoy him read to her. But Leonard would know she would fall asleep by her snoring. When he would wake her up she would stretch with a yawn Penny would give Leonard a sleepy look. "Great story babe, really loved it." Then would get up and go straight to bed after patting his knee or shoulder. Another thing that they began to love was, after Penny would take care of his injured foot, she would pamper the other for him. In return he would paint her toe nails and rub her feet also.
One night though Penny came home from a late night at the studios to the apartment being quiet. She frowned as she locked her door behind her, "Leonard?" Not an answer. So she just decided to get ready for bed and call him after. But quickly changed her mind. Penny grapped her phone with a big grin spread across her face. She snapped a picture of her boyfriend asleep on her bed but was only on his boxers and socks, oh and body glitter from his neck to his waist, all over his chest, stomach, and arms. As much as Penny wanted to post the picture on social media, she decided to use it for her advantage, along with the couple videos she shot during the week. One was him doing a strip tease to Marvin Gays "Lets Get In On." The other she caught him shaking his tussie as he sang off pitch along to "Don't Stop Believin." Changing the words from South Detroit to New Jersey. In a way Penny couldn't believe this guy was her boyfriend because he was different in many ways, but he knew how to make her laugh even at times he wasn't trying.
Penny leaned over him and kissed his lips. As he woke up he seemed quite confused. "Well don't you look pretty?" Penny expressed waiving her hands above his body with an eyebrow raised.
Leonard still not with it, sat up some and then realized what she now was talking about. "Oh this? Yeah I was going to surprise you with a strip tease with me covered in glitter...Fell asleep as I let it dry a little. I can still do it if you want me to?" Giving his girlfriend a hopeful look.
Penny shook her head quickly, "Nah it's fine babe really... Just amused that it looks my boyfriend got glitter bombed by a male stripper." That statement made Leonard frowned but that alone made Penny laugh. "So before you get this stuff all over my bed why don't we go in my bathroom and scrub it off you?"
Leonard agreed as the Vaseline and glitter was quite uncomfortable, he followed Penny to her bathroom. Somewhere in the process glitter ended up on Penny and her bathroom floor and Leonard looked like a lobster from all the scrubbing. It was close to two in the morning before they went to bed and Penny got most the glitter off of her and Leonard worried about her bathroom later.
Leonard was happy to sleep in that morning as Penny had the day off completely. But also was going to see the doctor. He was a little disappointed when the doctor told him he could return work the next day part-time but go full-time bythe following Monday. Yet he could not drive yet, so Penny volunteer to drive him and Sheldon to work Thursday and Friday but Raj or Howard would have to bring them home.
Penny couldn't believe how right Leonard was when he said Sheldon would have a fit about her driving them. He complained about her check engine light, missing review mirror, and how she had a led foot going over the speed limit by two miles. She tried to contain her anger so she just warned the wackadoodle once. "Sheldon, you remember when you described my anger like that one superhero character or whatever it was?" She sternly asked him.
"Of course I do I have a idenic memory. That would be Stan Lee's comic book character The Hulk. One minute you are like Bruce Banner, even you are not as intelligent as he is, but yes when you loose your temper... Yikes!" Sheldon addressed his neighbor and roommate's female companion which he had too much cotius with, in Sheldon's opinion.
"Well if you don't shut your trap, I am about to go all Hulk on you!" Penny told him while gritting her teeth all while Leonard sat next to his girlfriend feeling pleased yet uneasy.
But as the week went on, Penny and Leonard were laying in bed the night before they left for Nebraska the next morning. They still were all about the foreplay and Leonard was really getting into it. As for Penny she was for sure he was hoping to win a prize or something and began to nod off. "Penny? Penny?" Leonard stopped for a second because he swore he heard snoring. As he crawled up to his girlfriend's body he frowned a he looked down at her sleeping. "Hey!"
Penny stirred awake from her boyfriend's voice and he did not look happy. "Sorry babe, I know you like it down there but it's not like I'm going to burst out a stuff bear." Penny told him but as a joke.
"No! But you fell asleep on me. Am I that boring?" Leonard felt frustrated as he rolled the other side if the bed and sat up searching for his boxers.
"Hey...No!" Penny sat up and moved behind her boyfriend. "Babe, listen to me with work and filming, plus before I nodded off you already gave one mind blowing..." And Penny wrapped her arms around and vegan to rub his chest and began to kiss his neck up to his earlobe. She grinned when she felt Leonard lean back into her and moaned.
"Okay, but we will talk about this later..." Leonard let out as he turned and captured Penny's lip. Penny giggled as she pulled Leonard on top of her as he began to nip at her skin.
"You need your inhaler babe?" Penny asked once she knew Leonard felt better about himself on his foreplay performance.
"I would but I'm afraid it might ruin the mood." Leonard huffed but was smiling as he looked at his girlfriend.
Penny pushed herself up off Leonard and turned. She opened her draw and pulled put a yellow inhaler, "Here!" Penny said as she turned back to her boyfriend and handed it to him with a smile. "You left it here after the first time we had sex when I moved in here. So I just kept it for an emergency."
"Awe, your such a good girlfriend..." Leonard gave her a quick kiss and took a huff of his inhaler. Then they went back to cuddling and Penny feel asleep. Yet Leonard had trouble, his mind went to meeting his girlfriend's family. He was not sure what to expect because all he knew was her father was a farmer and played sports when he was younger, plus Penny was his pride and joy. As for Penny's mother, she was always worried about her youngest daughter and would make a big deal to the rest of the family that Penny was dating a doctor. Leonard also knew not to make Penny's sister mad or she might shoot his ass. As for Randell, he was in rehab but awaiting trial because he was kinda of a chemist and got caught. Plus out of all her family, Penny and Lisa were the only girl couins on both parents side making Penny to have twelve older male cousins. Not counting her brother. Leonard began to really over think when they would begin to run into her ex-boyfriends.
Penny could since this as morning came and as they began to load the plan. "Hey you okay?" She asked taking her hand placing on his arm.
He looked down as he began to fidget with his fingers. "Yeah I guess...Just I really never meet a girlfriend's family before...I mean I already knew Raj's and Priya's parents through being Raj's friend but when they found out I was dating Priya, lets just say they were not pleased and Priya was embarrassed they knew..." He looked over the rim of his glasses up at Penny as he explained and sighed. He always hated bringing up his ex in front of Penny but he also knew she loved it, well most times, when he was up front honest with her.
"Leonard, yeah I find it a little embarrassing watching my boyfriend wear a robe and ride on a broom, or dress like Doctor Who, or you own two Star Trek uniforms and you wear them not just for Halloween. It's all because I've never dated a guy like you and it is taking some time to get use to it. But I have never been embarrassed you being my boyfriend. You make me so incredibly happy. So stop worrying, my family will adore you!" Penny bite her bottom lip with a small smile and winked at him. She watched Leonard frown to relaxed, and so to keep him distracted she would give him little kisses during the flight. Penny thought maybe on the way back she would maybe introduce him to the mile high club.
