"Wait, stop...what did you say?" Penny sat up quickly pushing Leonard off of her.
Leonard sat next to her in bed covering each other both up. He looked down rubbing the back of his neck, "Ummm!"
Penny frowned at him feeling scared amd confused at rhe same time. "First you tell me you love me after sex, but now you propose in bed. What the hell Leonard?"
"Umm..." Leonard felt nervous and sweaty as Penny stared at him looking frightened and mad. "Heat of the moment?" Is all Leonard could say feeling he screwed things up with Penny once more. He watched as she got out of bed and threw on one of his t-shirts and began to pace. Leonard could tell she was starting to panic.
Penny finally stopped at the end of the bed and faced Leonard who was sitting up as the could not help but stare at each other. She stopped biting her lip as she took a deep breath trying to calm down some. "Leonard how can you just propose like that? We have been only back together not even five weeks yet..."
Leonard was trying to catch his thoughts to come up with a better explanation but was trying to ease the tension and tried to be funny about it. "You know what? I take it back... Like it never happened..." And he waved his hand loke it was not a problem.
Penny frowned at him in confusion. "How can you take it back? You can't take it back, its already out there and now things between us our weird again...Leonard what do we do now?"
Leonard closed his eyes and then looked back up at Penny feeling upset. "Don't break up with me?" He said with saddness but it is all he could say. He finally had Penny back and yet he said something weird and was terrified of loosing her but also the baby.
Penny felt a sickness take over her. She felt her knees weakened. Penny went over to the left side of the bed and sat next to Leonard and faced him. She took her hands into his and looked at him straight faced. "Leonard, I made that mistake once. Trust me the last thing I never want to do is hurt you and never end things with again. Only way would be if you ever cheated on me. But sweetie, you made things really weird between us now and us living together make everything more odd."
Leonard just felt lost on what to say next. He decided this time around to give her space. Penny did not Leonard sleeping on the couch but appreciated he gave her time alone to think. He did not want a repeat of last time where Penny felt pressured on their relationship after he blurted I love you to her. All Leonard knew was marriage was on his mind because Howard had been talking about at work how much he wanted to propose to Bernadette.
The next morning Penny woke up later than usually since she did not have to film a commercial today. She was a little upset with Leonard that he did not even wake her up just to say goodbye for the day. Things between them would be weird for awhile but as long as Leonard did not pressure her about the whole proposal in bed they would be fone. But as she walked into the kitchen she found items on the kithcen island and her cell phone go off with a text message. She picked up her phone and read Leonard's text. "Sheldon was being a pain in the ass this morning and had to rush to take him to work. He is still mad at us for wanting to move. Anyways after I dropped him off I went to that coffee place you love so much and got your favorite donut and your favorite coffee, and yes it ia decaf. So enjoy your day to yourself. Oh and by the way come outside." Penny shrugged her shoulders as she stuffed the donut in her mouth to get a bite, grabbed the apartment keys and her coffee.
As she came out of the apartment complex, Penny noticed Leonard facing the road and he was playing with his hands. She knew he was nervous about something and wondered why he was not at work. She walked up behind him, taking the last bite of donut and a sip of coffee, and touched his shoulder.
Leonard flinched by her touch making Penny bite her lip from laughing. He turned around and but his hand over his heart and let a breath out with relief. "Oh it's just you..." As he said calming down.
Penny shook her head and rolled her eyes. She crossed her arms after taking her last sip of coffee. "So, my favorite donut and coffee and now what? Are trying to butter me up so I don't break up with you this time because I'm not ready to get married."
"No, no not at all. I just did it well I was hungry and well its been awhile since you had a donut and well coffee. Since I keep forgetting to buy you decaf, I just got your favorite creme brulee decaf coffee. But that's not the reason I asked you to come down here. I asked you to come down here because of these." Leonard dug through his pocket and pulled out a pair of car keys and held them out to Penny.
Penny frowned, "Your car keys?" She was confused.
"No, yours." He moved alittle as Penny's eyes got big as she saw a little silver Honda Accord in front of her. "It's not much, and after you sold your little red Toyota to help you get to Nebraska. I just thought you could use a car to get around sl you don't have to barrow mine and you can get to a job or a audtion anytime you need to. Or just need time away for yourself you can." Leonard then placed the keys in her hands.
Penny looked at Leonard and felt tears form in her eyes. "Really? This car is mine?" She kept looking at the car and Leonard. "I don't know what to say?" She finally stepped closer and gave Leonard a big hug.
"You don't have to say anything at all... Well except a thank you since I just did buy you a car..." Leonard told Penny as he was enjoying the hug.
Penny refused to let go o her boyfriend so she pulled back some to look at Leonard's face. "Thank you." Then kissed him on the lips quickly and gently. "I love it and I love you."
Leonard gave her a small smile, "I love you too." He felt her let go and watched her going to the driver side of the car. He knew she was happy and did not want to ruin the moment but decided to address their pervious situation. "Hey Penny?"
Penny looked up before she entered her new car to test drive it. She was confused why Leonard had not got the hint and was not in the passenger side yet. "Yeah?"
"I know things are weird between us now but you never answered my question." Leonard said nervously.
Penny walked over to Leonard and wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a long passionate kiss. Leonard took his arms and wrapped them around Penny's waist taking every second of the kiss to enjoy it. Penny broke the kiss and tilted her head feeling serious and gave Leonard an answer, "No." She let go of her boyfriend and went back to the drivers side.
"Are we still together?" Leonard asked still nervous over this whole ordeal
Penny raised and eyebrow and decided to give him a short answer. "Yep."
"Okay, um is this still weird?" He asked sounding still nervous.
Penny was feeling frustrated. "Yep!" She said popping the p. "Now before you overthink things just get in so I can test out my newish car!" She smiled at him now he knew what she wanted to do. Penny got into the driver side as she heard Leonard say Okay and watched him get in. She started up the car and already she was happy this car was already better than her old one.
