Sorry for taking awhile to update, mom life. Also I wanted to take my time with this chapter. More of an insite of Penny and Kurt's relationship amd why Penny is more drawn to Leonard. Enjoy and can not wait for the reviews. I do not own these awesome characters. Also I am not trying to make Sheldon bad guy, just trying to show how much he does not like any kind of change more so when a woman is trying to change his roommate/best friend.

Chapter 23

"I am here because Sheldon has concern for your well being. On the subject of you became baffling, yet here I am." Beverly said with no emotion upon her face as she looked up at Leonard as she sat on the couch.

Leonard held Penny's hand tightly as she stood next to him. Leonard tilted his head as he frowned. "My well being? For what?"

Penny could see her boyfriend was angry as he began to rub his forehead. Somehow his well being was due to her according to his mother and Sheldon. "Aw! You must be Beverly? Hi I'm Penny!" Penny extended her hand with a big smile and cheerfully hoping to cut the tension in the room.

"I see..." Beverly said staring at Penny's hand, then shook her hand feeling quite uncomfortable. Then turn her attention back to her son.

Penny had no idea how things turned so quickly. Leonard was so upset his mother and Sheldon analysed her and Leonard's relationship and how he could do much better. Penny became upset that Beverly thought she was not good enough and was only dating Leonard to just feel her father's approval. Same went about her acting career. Penny now wondered if the only reason Leonard was dating her because she gave him the attention and love that Leonard claimed Beverly neglected.

Leonard tried to calm down his girlfriend but Beverly had Penny in tears and went straight to her apartment. He tried to defend Penny and himself over this relationship but Beverly kept psycho-analyize. Leonard just threw his hands up in the air in defeat and went straight to his room. His only worry though was if he wondered if his relationship with Penny was over, which was only a few things that made him happy.

Penny was in her third shot of tequila after drinking a whole bottle if wine to herself. No one had every make her feel nor think this way. But Beverly had to be wrong, right? Okay Penny made some poor choices in her life but finally things had been going good before she met Leonard, so how was she not good enough for him? And so what she wanted her dad's approval dating Leonard? Her dad was proud of her of this new mini serious after being proud of her staring on a great show off Broadway. And to pretty much call Penny a semi porn actress was way out of Beverly's jurisdiction. Only if Beverly knew Penny's situation why she stared in Seralist Apist. But Penny couldn't would give Beverly that satisfaction plus Penny couldn't cry like that again.

Suddenly there was a knock on her door. Penny got up but quickly found her balance so she wouldn't fall and stumbled to her door. As she opened it there stood a very cute yet nervous nerd in front of her. "Hey there!" Penny winked, wrapping her arms around his neck, giving Leonard a hard kiss on the lips.

Leonard frowned after their kiss ended as he fiddled with his hands. He looked down but his eyes looked up over the rim of his glasses up at Penny. "So we are not broken up? "Also are you drunk?"

"No...Unless you are breaking up with me...And I might be a smig drunk..." Oenny told Leonard slightly slurring her words as her arms loosely hung over Leonard's shoulders.

"Okay before I answer how about we get you back into your apartment and try to get you to bed so you can sleep off all this alcohol." Leonard suggested as Penny gave him a big grin and nodded her head.

As Leonard helped Penny into her apartment and helped her keep her balance, he walked her to her bed. "Are you mad at me?" Penny asked as Leonard helped Penny sit down on the bed giving him her big eyes andher bottom lip sticking out.

"No, not at all. The one person I'm upset with his the woman who's summer house is my head..." Leonard said as he sat next to Penny giving her a side hug and a kiss on top of her head.

"Why are you with me? Maybe your mother is right, maybe I'm not good enough for you Leonard. My plan was to successful movie or t.v. star right now...I was suppose to have my big break at least when I turned twenty-three... I barley graduated high school, I dropped out of community college, been in three abusive relationships, in one movie that turned out to be a low grade semi porn horror film, a few commercials, couple plays off broadway, and if I wasn't doing that I was just an extra or an understudy. I can't really rely on my acting jobs so I work as a waitress. I am such a mess..." Penny let her tears fall as she flopped her head down on a pillow.

Leonard sighed as he got up and went around the other side of the bed. He laid down and tucked one hand under his head, as his other arm went over Penny's side and held her close to him. Leonard then brought his lips close to Penny's ear. "I'm with you because you're perfect."

Penny turned to her other side to face Leonard. "No I'm not." Is what came out of her mouth.

"Yes you are." Leonard stared at her with a half smile but kept looking down as he tucked hair behind her ear.

"You really think so, don't you?" She asked as finally their eyes met.

"Of course I do. I don't care what happened in your past. We all have one. Look at me, as an adult I still can not get my mother's approval and the only time she interferes with ny life is when she does not approve of choices I make. Yet I still try to earn her affection and her to approve something good in my life." So guess what I am a mess too." Leonard raised an eyebrow giving Penny another half smile.

"Thank you!" Is all Penny said as she kissed Leonard on the lips. Which led to a few more before Penny finally closed her eyes and went to sleep.

Leonard just laid there watching her sleep. He had no desire to go back over to his apartment because he did not want to deal with Sheldon. It wasn't long he was seep too until two in the morning as he was jolted awake of Penny flying out of bed, running to the rest room. Leonard sat up and put his glasses back on as he heard his girlfriend get sick. He patted his way to the bathroom and sat on the edge of the tub as he held Penny's hair and rubbed her back.

Leonard got up to get her a glass of water and some headache medicine once Penny was done heaving but was not ready to move quite yet. Once Leonard did get Penny to bed, they laid facing each other. "I'm sorry you had to see that...Like I said before I'm a mess." Penny sighed not liking the idea Leonard so venerable.

"You're fine, just be glad my mother isn't here. She would be wanting a whole phycology book about your life. I should know, she has two about me alone, the third book is comparing my siblings accomplishments to my mediocre ones from birth until I was eighteen." Leonard admitted sighing himself.

"Well I love you just the way you are. You never have to earn my affection. And as for your mom, I think I'm good to see her until her next visit. You know she will never know about any of my ex boyfriends. It is pretty bad your brother told your mom about Serial Apist and now in her eyes I will show my body to anyone. What she doesn't know why I did that movie. I only trust you to know why." Penny said as she ran her fingers through Leonard's hair.

"Only tell me if you really want to. I promise it is just between the two of us." Leonard was nervous to know this story but also a little curious. It was Howard's own fault Leonard knew this movie existed and had a good idea he would ask his friend to delete the movie from his computer. More so if Bernadette found out.

For the next twenty minutes Penny explained that was her first movie roll when she moved out here with Kurt at eighteen. But once the director told her she was going to have a nude shower scene, Penny quit. But Kurt got pissed and told her it was her only chance to make it. So Kurt got ahold of the director and made a deal. Penny was in tears when she told Leonard to get her part back, she ended up sleeping with the director. After that every movie roll she got and there was a nude scene or to get a part the director wanted to sleep with her, Penny would reject to part and that is when Kurt would begin to hit her and put her down any chance he got. Leonard felt even more pissed off at this Kurt guy and now knew why Wyatt was very protective over his daughter. Leonard did not want to even know what the other two ex boyfriends did to her. But right now he just held his girlfriend as she cried herself to sleep.
