"I'm leaving the room for a moment. I have a key. In case you feel the need, don't touch my stuff. Remember the contract," she heard Sheldon say from the other side of the door.
"Okie-dokie." She dropped her head into her hands. She listened for the door to shut.
"OK, so lets try this again," she said as she reached up for the shower head.
..
Sheldon walked out of the elevator into the lobby. He did a quick scan and saw the little store. He was mildly surprised with the selection. "Interesting," he mumbled. He picked up the much too small basket and looped his arm through the handle.
He placed a box of cookies in the basket and reached for a bag of chips.
"Hey Sheldon," he heard from behind him. He didn't like having conflicting feelings about his friend and roommate. He was pleased when he turned around and saw Raj with Leonard.
"Hey dude what's up?" Raj opened the cooler and reached for a soda.
"Good evening gentlemen. I trust you two are doing well," Sheldon said as he carefully placed the chips in the basket. Nothing irritated him more than broken chips. He noticed that Leonard was staring at him, hands on hips. He scanned the shelves looking for some more Penny Comfort Food.
"Sheldon what was that all about?" Leonard asked.
"I don't know what you mean Leonard, you'll have to be more specific," he said as he picked up a bag of little candy bars.
"Dude, he means: why did you bite his head off about Penny? You know basic math: if she couldn't room with me and I can't room with you, which is still not my fault dude, what other choice did we all have?" Raj said as he reached for a bag on the shelf.
"Ya," Leonard chimed in.
"I would like nothing more then to stay down here and chit chat with you two, but I have to complete my shopping before the store closes up for the evening," he said as he pointed to the sign that displayed the hours of operation. He noticed a bottle of vodka and a large bottle of diet Pepsi. He knew that Penny would appreciate the alcohol. Without giving it much thought he reached for both bottles and placed then in the crook of his arm.
"Booze?" Leonard said, sounding like he was ready to blow a gasket.
"Yes, that's correct," Sheldon snapped. He was getting tired with the neurotic behavior of his friend and that was saying a lot coming from him. He didn't think Leonard had any right to be acting this way after what he did to Penny.
"Sheldon-" Leonard started to whine.
"Leonard, we have three minutes to complete our purchases. I would suggest that you complete your browsing." Leonard turned around in a huff and grabbed an armful of junk.
"So, you gotta be a little unsettled with having to split a room with someone," Raj said as he was handed his change. Sheldon honestly didn't mind a whole lot about sharing a room with Penny.
The man behind the counter, Sheldon noticed, was the same guy from the front desk. He placed the rest of his items on the counter and the guy bagged them up. Sheldon reached into his back pocket and had a jolt of fear. His wallet was gone. He mentally retraced his steps and remembered that he had left it by his laptop.
"I've forgotten my wallet upstairs," he said.
"No prob, I can add it to your room if you want," the guy said.
"That would be acceptable. Thank you." Sheldon fished out his key for the guy, but he asked for his name, telling him he could pull him up that way faster.
"Doctor Sheldon Cooper," he said. Sliding the key back into his pocket.
"Oh, ya, have you right here. Single twin bed room? With a Penny?" the guy asked. Sheldon held back the smile that threatened to erupt on his face when he saw Leonard and Raj's faces.
"Yes that's it." He forced himself not to correct the fact that the bed was a full.
"What?!" Leonard and Raj asked at the same time. Sheldon turned to them and nodded.
"You gave the single room to us, instead of Wolowitz." He thanked the guy behind the counter and took his bags.
Penny stepped out of the shower with Jello legs. She felt so much better now that the shower head showed her a good time. She grinned and dried off. God, her heart still raced. She slid her pale pink tank top on and her little silk shorts. She looked at herself in the mirror and wondered if her night clothes would bother Sheldon. She shrugged. "I don't care." She heard the door open and Sheldon announce himself.
"I'm in here," she said as she cracked the door open. She wrapped her towel around her hair and carried her clothes out of the bathroom.
"I found some cookies, chips and even something to drink," Sheldon said with his back to her. He set the bottle of vodka on the desk as she shoved her dirty clothes in her suitcase.
"Awesome!" she said when she spotted the liquor. Sheldon turned around and froze when he saw her. She was practically in her underwear, he thought. He looked her up and down, before he could stop himself. Then quickly turned around.
"Penny! Put some clothes on," he said in a panic. Penny laughed.
"Aw Moonpie, I am wearing clothes," she teased. She loved the look on his face when she saw him checking her out.
"No one calls me Moonpie but Meema," he said turning around to scorn her. She grinned widely as she poured herself a Vodka and diet Pepsi.
Sheldon noticed after Penny had a couple of drinks, that she was getting quite inebriated. She found Star Trek The Original Series on the television and he was thrilled that it was a marathon. During the second episode he came to the conclusion: she's drunk.
"Boy that Captain Kirk is a lady killer," Penny said as she nudged Sheldon.
"He does appear to have many relationships of a sexual nature during the series."
"Spock is hot," she said before finishing her drink. She looked down and pouted out her lower lip. She slid out of bed and waked over to the desk. Once she had her new drink she slid back under the covers with Sheldon. She tried to sneak a cookie in with her but he pointed at it and shook his head.
"Please," she whined.
"No, it'll cause crumbs." Penny handed him her drink and she stood next to the bed eating the cookie. Sheldon watched her, at first to make sure she didn't sneak back into bed with crumbs, but he felt a warmth spread in his lower stomach. He looked her over, from collarbone to thigh. He felt warm when he saw her breast. Perfect hard nipples teased him from under her thin top. He entertained the thought in his head of him putting the drink on the night stand and crawling over to her. He would press her up against the wall that was no more then a foot behind her and slide his hands under her thin tank top to warm her breast. He thought about kissing a line of kisses from her belly button to her pebbled nipples. He knew what she sounded like moaning, the apartment walls weren't sound proof. He bet his name would sound like heaven on her lips as she moaned.
Penny noticed a goofy bedroom look on Sheldon's face. She smiled and when she was done with her cookie, she lightly brushed imaginary crumbs from her chest. She hummed when she saw the lust in Sheldon's eyes. Who knew that Mr. Robot would be looking at her like she was the new and improved iPhone? She crawled into bed, purposely seductively. Sheldon looked like he was a baby horse that was ready to bolt. She grinned and took her stop next to him, letting her leg touch his.
"I have to call my mother!" he said as he bolted from the bed, keeping himself at an angle to hide his erection. She tried not to laugh at the speed that he bolted from the bed.
She crawled out of bed and found her iPod. She didn't want to eavesdrop on his call to his mom.
"Oh Shelly look who just walked in the door," his mother said as the screen blurred. His sister came into focus and it blurred again.
"Hey there Shelly," Missy said, getting too close to the Web cam. He gave a little wave and hoped he could get off the call soon. Out of the corner of his eye he had seen Penny have another drink and now she was dancing to what ever she was listing to on her iPod.
"Hello Missy. Look Mommy, I have to go, OK?" he said, hoping she would let him go this time.
She nodded but before she said bye, Penny squealed.
"Come ride the train, hey ride it...woo woo! Come on Sheldon, they're singing about trains," Penny said, making some odd movements with her arms. "Sheldon dance with me! They're singing about coo coo trains!"
She looked at Sheldon's lips move, but couldn't hear what he said.
"Shelly?" Sheldon looked back at the screen in a near panic.
"Penny is here," was all he could manage.
"Woo...Woo!" he heard from Penny. He looked over and saw she was still dancing. She shook his head at the level of inebriation she was at.
"Shelly, do you have a drunk girl there, you dog?" Missy said as she crammed her head next to her mom's, trying to catch a peek. "Oh. My. God. Is she listening to 'C'mon N' Ride It' by Quad City Djs? Tlk about old schooling it."
Penny called out for Sheldon again before he could answer Missy. When she couldn't hear him again she called out "What? I can't hear you." Sheldon excused himself and walked over to her.
He pulled out one ear bud and that got her attention.
"Penny, at the volume that you are listing to your music, you will expose yourself to a decibel range that will cause damage to the fragile tissue strands within the cochlea. Plus I need you to be quiet. I'm talking to my mommy," he said as he turned around and sat back down.
Sheldon's mom and sister looked at him expectantly.
"So where were we?" he said, trying to force himself not to yell at Penny for bouncing on the bed. He heard a thud and let his head drop into his hands.
"Shelly is she alright?!" his mother panicked. Penny stood up quickly from the floor and threw her arms around Sheldon.
"I'm OK," Penny said as she giggled. She gave a big wave and took off to the bed again.
Sheldon looked up and mouthed "I don't know what to do," as he raised his hands in an 'I don't know' motion. His mother cocked her head to one side. Her thinking position, Sheldon thought.
"Shelly the genius doesn't know what to do with a pretty, drunk girl in his hotel room. Call the media!" Missy said before she waved bye. He growled at her, but waved.
"Honey Pie, you have two options. One you pour some more drinks in her until she passes out, or you put some food and water in her and walk it out of her. Think of what Jesus would suggest," his mother said. He wanted to tell hims mother Didn't he made water into wine? but her didn't, Penny chimed in.
"Walk! Ya, lets go outside in the snow," Penny squeal. He put a finger to his ear and massaged it. His hearing was going to be damaged from those squeals of joy.
"OK, mommy," he said. He listened to some last minute tidbits of information and was ready to log off when Penny was suddenly at his side again. He looked over and felt a flush cross his cheeks and the warmth spread in his stomach.
She was standing in her coat, and her boots. Her coat was long enough that it looked like that was all she was wearing.
"I'm ready," she said in a low voice. He fisted his hands and licked his lips, fighting the urge to push her down on the bed and let primitive nature take over. He counted to five and looked Penny in the eyes.
"Penny, you need pants."
