Chapter 4 – Benefits of blonde neighbours whilst hyperventilating

Warm, soft lips met his with gentle pressure. If he wasn't light headed before… he definitely was now.

As a few seconds passed he contemplated why this felt so right…almost natural. He's spent 31 years fearing of physical contact because of germs and illness that is associated with them. He has thought that any physical contact is unnecessary and disgusting. Especially coitus and osculation. One uses physical contact to relieve primitive human urges. Urges that he does not find unmanageable and that he has used the Vulcan technique of Kolinahr to suppress them. On other hand, with penny his life's hypothesis has been rendered moot. For it is wrong. With penny he completely relaxes and finds that his mind had become blank as he takes in the new emotions and feelings. All that surrounds him is penny.

Instinct takes over and he finds his arms moving subconsciously around her waist. Pulling her closer to him so that she is flush against his chest. All these new emotions but he can think of only one thing. Reducing the distance between them both. He leans down and adds more pressure to her lips. Lust flows through him in a fresh pulse as he swipes his tongue across her plump, perfect bottom lip to gain access. Pure primal instinct. Years of being suppressed suddenly freed. Fascinating.

Penny POV

She is so caught up with making out with Sheldon Cooper that she realises that she needs to breathe. She can only how guess much he needs to, after almost passing out just a few minutes ago.

As she leans back away from his lips, she delighted to find them follow her but desperately needs air. She feels Sheldon follow her lips until they are released from his. She takes in a gulp of air and rests her forehead gently against his. She slowly opens her eyes, (not quite certain when she closed them) and looks up into his and is taken back to by how gorgeous they are. Sapphire blue meets her emerald green. She has always known how breath taking they are but never been close enough to appreciate them.

They are both breathing heavy and take a few second to return their breathing to normal. Still wrapped in a close embrace with their foreheads touching. Slow smiles crossing both of their faces and gradually transforming into grins.

They speak in unison:

''I DID IT!'' ''I DID IT!''

Confusion and curiosity strikes their faces and the Penny erupts into small giggly.

''As the gentlemen that mother raised me to be: you may speak first Penelope'' Sheldon informs Penny with amusement whilst not releasing her from his embrace. Only releasing the pressure slightly with his hands resting them on her hips but still pressed against him securely.

She grins and takes another deep breath ''I've just finished co-starring in a movie Sheldon! Called resolution! I got to kick zombie butt and help save the world from the apocalypse! My dream. My big break. I did it! no more cheesecake factory or falling behind on bills. No more snide coments from the people back in Omaha telling me to come back home and give up. I have done it and there is so much more to come.'' penny's enthusiasm radiating off her as she shrieked at him in high pitched voice.

She looks into his face with biggest grin and searches for his reaction. He is grinning back at her. Not the 'kill Batman' smile. A genuine, honest-to-god, Sheldon cooper smile splitting across his face. It only makes her smile grow…if that is even possible.

Before Sheldon can reply, Penny is suddenly realising what the secondary reason for kissing him was (first being because she has been waiting forever to) because he was on the verge of passing out.

She hits him on the arm but it is not enough to push him off her. Her face flashed with anger.

''You scared me to death! I was terrified, do you know that? To come into a room super excited to suddenly find your best friend hyperventilating to death before your eyes? To have him not respond after screaming at him? What the hell was that about? What's wrong, are you okay?'' penny demands. Hitting him on the arms between every other word.

Sheldon POV

Sheldon takes a calming breathes to compose himself. Thinking of everything that she just said. She was worried about him. He has to bite his tongue to not comment on the 'hyperventilating to death' remark because that was over exaggerating. And I wish that she would stop hitting me. Big Nebraskan hands. Sheldon thinks to himself.

''Penny, I must first congratulate you on your success. I am truly happy for you and dare I say…proud that you achieved your goal in life. No doubt with my continued force behind all the way had something to do with it.'' Penny rolled her eyes with a smile so he knew he was right. ''However I must point out how much of coincidence this entire situation is. The reason why I was 'hyperventilating to death'…'' he says with exasperation and an eye roll (he couldn't help it) ''…was because 35 minutes and 52 seconds ago, I Dr Sheldon Lee Cooper, have just proved my life's goal. Penny, I have just proved string theory and with a doubt will attain a Nobel Prize in the short future.'' He says proudly with a sense of pride. Almost running out of oxygen towards the conclusion but he finished with his chin up high.

Penny POV

Penny stares at him for a few seconds. Just giving him time to bring the punch line out for this bazinga. But he didn't say anything more just grinned at her.

''Holy Crap On A Cracker…'' she breathes ''Sheldon…that is amazing. No amazing can't even describe it.'' she says in wonder. She stares at him. Letting it sink in. then it hits her. She screams at the top of her lungs and not caring who hears it. As she is jumping around for joy she screams, ''Sheldon this is huge. I am so proud of –'' her screams are cut off with Sheldon's lips and an embrace so tight all the air evacuates her lungs. She joins in with the celebration and pours everything she has got into that kiss. She can show him how she feels this way.

This has got to be greatest day of her life. A movie that she has co-starred in has finished, Sheldon Cooper discovering the mysteries of the universe, getting to kiss Sheldon and finally but definitely not the least, Sheldon-fricking-cooper kissing her. This is too much for a Nebraskan to take in one day.

woo-hoo! hope it is okay tell me what you think.
