After all packing was done, Sheldon bade goodbye to all of his friends until only he and Amy were left in the room. He smiled at his former partner of three years and gave her a hug, holding her close to his body and prolonging the hug, which kind of shocked Amy.

'Thank you for today, I really appreciated it Amy. So, I guess I will see you in two months… well in person I will. I'll call you on Skype or FaceTime and also I want to thank you again for the advice you gave me earlier.'

'It's alright Sheldon, just lending a helping hand. Speaking of which, where is Lani?'

'God knows, but I will be happy to be rid of her upon my arrival to New York. I plan on having Penny entertain me all night tomorrow,' Sheldon laughed suggestively and Amy rolled her eyes and smiled.

'Who knew you'd turn out to have such a sexual appetite! Penny must have her work cut out bedding you and keeping up with your demands.'

'Well you don't realise how desperate I get. Ever since mine and Penny's separation, I've been paying women to touch me!'

'Sheldon!' Amy cried, her jaw dropping.

'Manicurists, pedicurists, facialists… I tell you whenever you see a man who's that well groomed; you can bet he's not getting any action!'

Amy shook her head, she should have known better to think Sheldon would have actually gone to a prostitute, 'I'm surprised you let them touch you at all.' She said and Sheldon shrugged.

'As beauticians, they have to follow a specific hygiene routine so I know everything is sterile.'

'Good, right well on that bombshell I'm going to love you and leave you, I shall see you soon Sheldon. Now behave yourself and such good luck,' Amy smiled before kissing his cheek and leaving the apartment. Shutting the door behind her, Sheldon let out a sigh and smiled, tomorrow he would be reunited with Penny and his life would be complete.

Returning to his room, he opened the door to see Lani lying on his bed reading a book. She looked up at him and smiled, her pearly white teeth shining through her red lipstick coated lips, 'Hey gorgeous,' she smiled.

'Lani, you're in my room. You can't be in my room. Please remove yourself immediately,' Sheldon said gesturing to the door. Lani looked at him and without breaking eye contact; she shut the book and sat up.

'Oh come on Sheldon, let me show you what it's like to have a night of real passion with someone who truly does care about you. Look, I really like you and I can see that Penny does have feelings for you but she doesn't treat you like you should be treated. You deserve someone who will look after you and attend to your every need. Not go off gallivanting to all these different places, making you move to New York or sparking arguments with you over the smallest of things.'

Sheldon sighed and looked at her. Walking over to her, he sat down on the bed and she smiled seductively at him, showing him her pearly white teeth which contrasted against her red lips as she smiled. 'Lani… you're beautiful,' he said and he took her hands in his. She looked into his eyes and felt her heart flutter as his blue eyes bore into her brown ones, 'And someday soon, you're going to make a man as happy as Penny makes me and he's going to be very lucky to have a catch like you. While I'm flattered by your attraction to someone like me, I have to tell you that I can't return your affections because my heart belongs to Penny. You deserve someone who will treat you like you deserve to be treated and if you had known the old version of myself, we would most likely not being having this conversation.'

Lani blinked at him and pulled her hands away, 'What?'

'I'm sorry Lani, but that's just the way it has to be. We can be nothing more than friends and former roommates.'

'You're crazy. Giving up someone like me to be with someone like her… it's lunacy.' Lani spat.

'I am not crazy, my mother had me tested. I also have the psychiatric report to prove it. A slender majority of the panel decided in my favour.' Sheldon shrugged and Lani rolled her eyes.

'Whatever, you'll soon realise that you were wrong to turn me down. And when things don't work out with Penny, give me a call.' She said before sauntering out.

Sheldon had finally finished unpacking the last of his boxes in Penny's apartment and she smiled at him. 'I'm so glad you're here Sheldon, it means a lot to me that you would do this for me. I've missed you so much,' Penny wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him softly.

'No worries, I want to be here with you. I've missed you,' Sheldon said, pressing his lips softly to hers again. Penny looked into his eyes and searched his soul, knowing that she had truly found the real thing with him. She saw nothing but love and adoration for her and it made her insides melt. He was everything to her, he did anything for her and she knew he was the one she was going to spend the rest of her life with. Every girl growing up always dreams of her prince charming and to her, Sheldon was hers. He wasn't your stereotypical prince Charming but nevertheless, every quality found in her version could be found in Sheldon. Her mother had always told her that she had to kiss a few frogs before she found her prince and she had definitely done her fair share of kissing, however knowing that she had finally found her prince reaffirmed her decision on what she was about to say next.

'I don't know what I've done to deserve you Sheldon,' she said softly.

'Neither do I,' he laughed but the serious look remained on her face.

'I want to marry you.'

'And I want to marry you, that is why I proposed,' Sheldon chuckled and she shook her head. Sheldon suddenly realised that Penny was embarking on a serious conversation with him as it was hinted in her tone of voice and she had released him from her clasp.

'No… I want to marry you now,' she whispered and Sheldon raised his eyebrows.

'As in… now?'

'Yes.' She nodded as he frowned in confusion.

'Why?'

'Why?' Penny sighed and sat down as she thought of the right words to say, 'because… you'd do anything and everything for me, regardless of whether or not I agree. You do it because you know it will benefit me, that it'll make me a better person. You've even put up with my insane acting career and all the publicity and fame that has come with it… just to make my dreams come true. Because you've moved 2000 miles away from everything you know, everyone you love... all of it just to make me happy,' she said, her voice cracking and Sheldon slowly sat down beside her, taking in the raw emotion that was radiating from her, 'And because I can't spend one more second without being your wife Sheldon… because I love you.'

Sheldon let out a gasp of happiness, a large smile forming on his face and he took her hands in his, 'But I thought it was your dream to have a big fancy wedding in front of all your friends and all your family in a beautiful white gown. I want to make that happen.'

'You want to make my dreams come true?' she asked, tears welling up in her eyes as she spoke, 'well this is my dream.' Her voice had dropped to a whisper and Sheldon looked at her before kissing her with ardent passion.

'Penny, I would love to marry you. Right here… right now but we need to obtain our marriage license first and we'll have to wait at least 24 hours before we can marry.' Sheldon said and Penny nodded and a smile erupted on her face as she listened to him continue, 'So I suggest that we go and obtain that license now because now I don't think I can spend another second without you being my wife.'

'I love you so much,' Penny cried, throwing her arms around him and peppering his face with kisses.

'And I love you,' Sheldon replied before getting up, taking her hand and walking out the apartment.
