Hi Everybody! I know right. SHE'S ALIVE! NOW LETS KILL HER! Well don't because I hold the secrets to the next chapters and I assure you, their good ones. I do have an explanation, and I know, excuses excuses. So here's the story, I went to Georgia for a week, while there one of the families we were staying with decided to let their kids run loose and push my buttons. So while trying to write you lovely people a chapter, they decided it would be 'halarious' if they ripped out the cord charging my laptop several times, thus messing up my battery. My computer would not turn on for weeks until we finally got it fixed. So here I am, writing once again! Anyhoo, I gave you guys a little something extra at the bottom just to show how sorry I am. So without further adoo, please enjoy!
After the whole 'Yes' incident, we listened to some more music. George even showed us one of Sheldon's old piano CD's. I never realized how well he could play piano. It was like having an eargasm just listening to it. When we all praised him for it, Sheldon simply said, "I know, I know." Everyone else just shrugged it off but I could see him blushing like a schoolgirl.
When we pulled up to beach and opened the car doors, let me tell you, it was a mad house. It was like letting the bulls loose at a Goddamn rodeo! Everybody scrambled out of the car, tripping over each other just to smell the fresh beach air. Sheldon kind of looked like he had to restrain himself when he oh so smoothly walked out of the car and walked to my door. I went to open my door but Sheldon put his hand in front of it and shook his index finger while mouthing, 'No no no.' I looked at him strangely but took my hand off the handle anyways. He then opened the door for me and held out his hand like an 1860's butler. "Here you are madam." He said in an elegant British accent. "Oh why thank you kind sir," I replied in the same voice, "Here's a tip." I leaned up and kissed him on the cheek. I pulled back kind of worried about his reaction even though we were "dating". He looked shocked for a second before pulling his million watt smile. I smiled too, happy he didn't run away screaming, "Sexual Violation!" Sheldon turned when he heard his mother's voice calling everyone back to help and you could hear the resounding groan that followed. We all grabbed whatever we wanted to use and headed towards the beach. Sheldon practically ran to grab the surf board from the back and I simply grabbed what was left. There were so many people with us that it wasn't hard to get everything. Sheldon came up beside me and grabbed my free hand in his. I looked over, shocked that he made a move but instantly changed my face to happiness when I saw his confident smile.
The beach was full of colorful umbrella's. I felt like I dressed well for the occasion. We set up a couple of umbrellas of our own, gray and blue. Of course. But they stood out good enough. When we started setting up Sheldon let go of my hand to go talk to George and Mary. Feeling pretty useless, I helped with the chairs and the coolers. "Hello my dear," Sheldon whispered right next to my ear and I jumped about a foot in the air placing a hand over my heart. "God, don't do that!" I said, swatting at his chest playfully. "C'mon, we're going to go rent.." He leaned down to whisper in my ear as if it was the biggest secret in the world," … surfboards." He backed away smiling like a little kid on Christmas who got what he wanted. He grabbed my hand and dragged me over to where Leonard was getting a beer out of the cooler. When we were a few feet back Sheldon stopped us and brought his index finger up to his lips signaling me to be quiet. He snuck up behind Leonard and yelled as loud as possible in his ear, "Leonard!" Leonard yelped and threw his hands and beer in the air before scrambling to get it. When it landed in the sand Leonard groaned. "Really, now my beer is all sandy. It's gonna be like drinking grits." Howard, who was snickering under the umbrella with Raj, spoke up. "Leonard, the can is not open yet and I highly doubt that sand can travel through it." Leonard sent a glare his way before turning to Sheldon with the same glare. "Is there any reason that you decided to scare me?" Leonard asked. "Yes, we're going surfing!" Sheldon exclaimed. "Sheldon, I," he paused looking at Howard and Raj before correcting himself, "we can't surf." Sheldon didn't miss a beat. "Well then I'll teach you." He stated matter-of-factly. They shared a worried look before they reluctantly followed. George ran after us and we were off. "Now, the waves here aren't too bad so don't crap yourself thinking about it." We all looked at the water to see that he was sort of right. Sheldon continued, "Luckily we caught it on a good day so the waves should be decent." As we neared the surf shop, Sheldon's pace quickened. The shop was a cute little multicolored shack with different surfboards stacked up against the wall. We walked to the front and George banged on the side. A man wearing green and yellow swim shorts and a black tank top dashed to the front. "Can I help you?" He asked and pulled a charmer smile when he looked at me. I simply rolled my eyes and leaned closer to Sheldon. He seemed to take in George and instantly lit up. "Georgie! What's up?! Man I haven't seen you around here in forever. What brings ya here?" George smiled and placed his hand on Sheldon's shoulder. "I'm here with my little brother and his friends, they came to visit." George turned and did a double take. "Shelly? Oh my gosh! Little Shelly is all grown up! And with friends!" He reached out and ruffled Sheldon's hair. "Well obviously I'm grown up, it has been fifteen years." Sheldon replied, letting a wry grin creep onto his face. "Alright alright, Mario, we need some surfboards, Shelly here is gonna teach them how to surf." Mario's eyebrows shot up. "Really? Well you always were a pretty decent surfer Shelly, I bet these California people will take to it." He looked at all of us before waving his hand. "Follow me." He opened the door to the shop and lead us in. There were surfboards everywhere! All different colors, it was a rainbow of surfboards. He looked at Sheldon and picked up a large blue surfboard. "Matches your shorts there princess." He said and handed the board to him. Sheldon took it with a scowl, but his eyes were bright. I look down to confirm that yes; Sheldon was wearing some very blue shorts with red atoms on them. Mario then looked at Leonard and handed him a green board. Howard a yellow board, Raj a red one and George took the board we came with. Sheldon whispered something in his ear and Mario glanced at me and smiled. He led us over to a different rack and pulled out a board and handed it to me. I looked over it and almost started squealing in front of everyone. It was a pink and blue Hello Kitty surfboard. I didn't care that she was a little demon thingy, I still loved her. I smiled as bright as I could. "Thanks!" I chirped. Sheldon had a self satisfied plastered on his face while Mario kept glancing between Sheldon and I. We left the surf shop with friendly goodbyes and headed back down the beach.
On the way back, Sheldon had grabbed my free hand and weaved our fingers together, smiling brightly. He looked genuinely happy but I noticed something in his eyes that just weren't quite right. He suddenly turned away from me and ran up to 'accidentally' bump Leonard and Raj with his surfboard.
The next twenty minutes found us out in the ocean sitting on our surfboards and listening to Sheldon give us the run down on surfing. "Now, we didn't go to far off shore, the waves aren't big enough to go out that far so to correctly 'ride the wave' you first have to," I tuned out, when Sheldon starts pulling out the 'as they now say' phrases, it's best to leave. I took the chance to study him. His hair was stuck flat against his head and you took the time to appreciate when he grew his hair out. And his eyes, I always wanted a guy with gorgeous eyes and they are just beautiful. Bright blue mixed with aquamarine and navy blue. I swooned a little bit before moving on. Little water droplets were beading down the side of his hair and trailing down past his slight beard and working its way down his neck. I let my eyes follow it until it reached his collarbone. I never noticed how pronounced it was. And that little hollow in between, I licked my lips appreciatively. I moved down to his chest which, holy cow, I never expected. Sheldon never really let anyone know how amazing he could be unless it involved his intelligence, but lord, that boy could please the eye. He wasn't overly muscled, more lean, like a swimmer. But he definitely had been working out some because muscles like that don't just appear out of thin air. His arms were also lean but the forearms had a certain quality to them. They seemed to always be just out of reach whenever he wears his thermals. "Penny?" I was startled out of my reverie but a sharp but slightly amused voice. I looked up at Sheldon, his face stern but his eyes amused and… satisfied? I blinked a couple of times, trying to come up with an explanation for my apparent ogling but all that came out of my mouth was a startled, "Huh?" Sheldon narrowed his eyes. "You don't seem to be getting it," He smirked, "How about I help you?"
Sheldon POV
Penny seems to like my appearance when lacking clothing. Success. My thoughts are confirmed by her blatantly ogling me. A horridly wondrous idea pops into my head and I can't help the smirk that forms on my lips. I swim over and place one hand on her board, the other on her hip. Judging by her reaction she is startled and slightly aroused. I smile inwardly, this is working perfectly. I actually smile when she goes to grab my hand; she is practically swooning when I am barely touching her. It's almost funny. After a moment though I notice a warm feeling creeping through my arm into my chest. I blink several times before grumbling. Probably the thousands of germs seeping through my skin from contact. I'll have to get some sanitizer later.
Welp, there it is! Sorry it wasn't longer and the cliff hanger, I know it sucks but I promise you that the update will be sooner now that my computer is working. (Stupid brats) Anyway, please review, tell me your sorrows about how you cried because I abandoned you all, its ok... I'll even let you punch the little tots that messed me up, we can make it look like an accident, all will be ok.
