Chapter 10 – Celebrity's lifestyle
''goodbye mother, I will see you in Sweden'' Sheldon's final words to his mother and missy before they gave him and penny tight hugs and went and made their way to their plane to Texas.
Penny smiled and intertwined her fingers with Sheldon's, swinging their hands backs a forth until they reached her new red Audi.
Sheldon got into the leather passenger seat and let out a long sigh.
''You alright there sweetie?'' penny asked as she turned the car out of the car park and set off home.
''If you are referring to my long exhaled breath, then the answer is yes. I am just relieved that my mother and sister's visit is over'' Sheldon replied with his hands in his lap.
''Aww sweetie. You had nothing to worry about. Your family is wonderful, I can't wait to meet the rest of them'' penny reassured him and gave his knee a light squeeze.
She glanced at him and took his coy smile and embarrassed look out of the window as his silent reply.
Sheldon unlocked the door to apartment 4A and made a beeline for his 'spot'. Penny was close on his tail after closing the door and took her 'spot' next to him. Sheldon leaned forward and pick up his laptop from the coffee table after a few relaxing breathes.
''ohh wait! I forgot to show you something!'' Sheldon jumped at penny's outburst.
She took the laptop out of his lap and starting typing. Sheldon did a double take and gaped at her sudden theft. He glared at her but she didn't notice it. He leaned closer to her and looked at the screen seeing as he isn't going to get his laptop back until he has seen what she needs to show him.
The page loads to reveal the 'resolution' premiere page. She clicked on the pictures page and scrolled down the numerous pictures of the cast and their dates. She got half way down the page and stopped. There were countless pictures of Sheldon and Penny posing for the camera. She continued to scroll down the page and lost track of how many there were. There were even some snaps shots of the tickling scene. This caused Sheldon to blush and smile at how much fun it looks like they are having.
Penny clicked onto the video page after finally getting to the end of their pictures. There was a video of their arrival and a fans video of them penny talking to them. She clicked onto one of the interviews and watched as Sheldon whispered in her ear to tell her questions. Penny smiled coyly about how sweet that was of him and she watched as she smiled and tried to hold back a laugh on the screen. She then clicked on the video of Sheldon tickling her and she looked to him.
''Oh dear lord'' Sheldon muttered and got closer to penny as he continued to watch and blushed.
Penny laughed and said ''yep'', popping the 'p'.
She clicked on her twitter page and typed in their names.
''Were like a celebrity couple! Isn't that weird? My twitter has been going crazy. There is so many people asking about you.'' She looked up at him at noticed his wry eyes. ''don't worry, I haven't said anything bad about you'' she reassured him in a sweet voice.
''Yes well, we do look rather accustomed to one another. I see what the appeal is.'' Said Sheldon and then he looked to her ''and is there anything negative about me?'' he asked.
''not at all sweetie'' she cupped his chin and gave it a light squeeze and spoke in a baby voice and pouted her lips forward.

Sheldon reached into his pocket and read the email. ''oh dear lord'' Sheldon sighed in exasperation, ''kripke and his crude comments''. He showed penny the email about her from kripke.
''eww! He is so gross. How can someone so creepy, be confident enough to say those things to someone?'' Penny pushed his phone out of her face and Sheldon put his phone back into his pocket. ''Don't pay him any notice…I don't'' penny voiced. ''And why does he always call me 'Woxanne'?'' penny impersonated him.
''I suppose you are right and for your second question I have no idea. I always thought that his lack of intellect made it difficult for him to remember your name.'' Sheldon replied as he stole back his laptop from penny's lap. As penny got up to get a drink, Sheldon slyly saved the image of them both in the tickle fight and saved it as his background and turned off his laptop before she returned.
-At the comic book store-
''Sheldon?...Can you please hurry up please?'' penny lightly tugged on his long sleeved top. ''everyone is staring at me and there is more of them today'' Penny stepped closer to his side to try and hide from the gaping faces.
''Penny, other than your aesthetics, you are attracted by nerds because of your recent starring in a hit zombie movie. What did you expect?'' Sheldon replies as he picks up the comic book that he needs for his Robin collection.
''oh shoot you right'' Sheldon turns to her with a 'of-course-right' expression. ''I know, I know…your always right'' penny grumbles as she hooks onto his arm and stays on his right side, away from the peering eyes.
''hey Penny!...uh and Sheldon'' Stuart greets them as they reach the till. He tries to act casual and collected but instead gets his finger trapped in the till because he was too busy starring at penny.
''Hey Stuart, you alright there?'' penny asks sympathetically.
He manages an 'mmmhmmm' as he sucks on his finger to relieve the pain. Sheldon just observes the situation with one eye-brow raised as penny tries to rush him. He collects the change and his comic book from Stuart and gives him a nod.
They make their way to the door (penny pulls him to the door) and exit the comic book store.
''Go, Go, Go!'' penny whispers in an agents voice whilst holding two fingers up and flicking her wrist forward twice; signalling Sheldon to press forward.
''auditioning for mission impossible 5?'' Sheldon asks with amusement after witnessing her little re-enactment, all the while never increasing his pace.
''actually, now that you mention it-''
Sheldon cut her off, ''I know. Your manager called to remind you about the audition for tomorrow'' with a knowing smirk.
''you do know everything'' she jokes and lightly punches his arm.
''yes well, with your re-enactment just now, I can safely say that you will definitely get the part'' Sheldon say sarcastically and pulls her tight to his side to prevent her from hitting him again.
''Sheldon Lee Cooper! Was that sarcasm?'' penny jokes whilst gaping at him and swatting his stomach. ''And Hey! I wasn't really trying just now.''
They walk along the pavement and whilst laughing. They are about 2 minutes away from penny's car when she suddenly feels like she is being watched.
''Can you feel that too?'' asks Sheldon as If he read penny's mind.
''yeah, it's kind of creepy.'' Penny answers and she closes her arms around Sheldon tighter.
They keep walking, trying to stay calm because they both know what it is. As they get closer to the car, the feeling gets stronger. Sheldon peers around and spots them in a black SUV across the street. Once they know that they have been spotted, they make a move. Four people jump out of the side doors with cameras and start taking more photos.
''Go, Go, Go, Sheldon'' penny whispers whilst laughing as she gets into the car.
Sheldon gets in seconds after her, laughing a long with her little agent joke. He looks at her as she pulls out of the car park. He can see that even thought she is laughing that she's a bit shaken up.
''We are doing fine, Penelope. Relax…Sheldon's here. We have already lost them. Let's just head home and I will make you a hot beverage'' Sheldon tries to reassure her as he lightly taps her knee. ''There, there''.
Penny peeks at him for a moment whilst chuckling lightly. ''Thanks honey. I am never going to like that part about being on TV'' penny checks her rear view mirror.
''You have your audition tomorrow. Would you feel better if I accompany you so that you have someone with you if this happens again?'' Sheldon asked politely.
''That's very thoughtful sweetie, thank you. I would actually really appreciate that. When is your interview tomorrow?''
''Very well. My interview is at 10:30 and I believe that your audition is at 12 o'clock so we will have a sufficient amount of time to attend both'' Sheldon replies ''in the mean time we should discuss possible disguises for you. How about…'' Sheldon continues to talk about different accessories and costumes.
Penny listens carefully to his suggesting but she's really only listening to his voice. After just being chased down by paparazzi, his voice is very smooth and surprisingly comforting. It's funny how much better she feels as she listens to his jibber-jabber. She relaxes in her seat as they travel home.
They open Sheldon's apartment to find all their friends sat around their laptops.
''Hey guys, come check this out'' Leonard greets them and shows them his twitter page. ''people are going crazy about you two''.
They spend the rest of the day discussing and teasing them both about their new popularity. Howard and Bernadette are making accusations about Sheldon and penny being the new 'Brad and Angelina'. Raj told them about how many girls have been talking to him and how he has been followed by penny's fans on his twitter; asking him how he knows her. He is grateful for penny's new fame because of the new attention he is getting from the opposite sex. Leonard and Stephanie talked about how strange it is to know a movie star and how they don't feel like anything has changed in apartment 4A for them as a social group.
-The next day-
''hello Dr Cooper, it is an honour to be able to conduct this interview with you'' Samantha, the interviewer starts.
''hello, I am happy to be here and to quench the worlds knowledge for my latest discovery.'' Sheldon replies flatly. Penny has helped him with his social interactions and greetings for his interviews to not offend anyone. He knows what to say but that doesn't mean that he wants to.
''Shall we begin'' said Samantha.
''Certainly'' Sheldon replies.
The interview proceeds and he can't help but feel bored. He would normally give up hours to discuss his work to anyone who would listen but he has been repeating himself over and over lately. However, in the interviewing environment it takes the fun out of his discussions and he feels that the questions are repetitive. He wishes that someone would just spice things up a bit. The interview gets closer to its end when his wish comes true.
''so Dr Cooper, there has been an increase in your popularity ever since your discovery. There is however a lot of talk about you in some unlikely places. Your name has been popping up in some pop culture magazines lately, ever since your appearance at the high rated 'Resolution' premiere. What was the reason for your appearance? I don't expect that it was because of your prestige knowledge in killing zombies.'' Samantha asks.
''No, in fact nobody has asked me that yet but I digress. I was at the premiere because my girlfriend co-starred with Liam Neeson in the movie. I accompanied her there. What does this have to do with my work?'' Sheldon asked wry of why she jumped this question on him.
''Your girlfriend is Penelope Queen?'' she asked looking shocked and surprised. ''How did you two meet?'' she asked, her professional attitude slipping.
Sheldon rolled his eyes at her girlish outburst. It appears that penny had fans everywhere. ''Yes. Well, she has been my neighbour for 5 years and six months. We have been best friends throughout her duration living across the hall. Our paradigm shifted and we entered a relationship.'' Sheldon concludes with a shrug; however he was a little more intrigued in this turn to the interview. He might as well give the public some answers seeing as they are all so interested.
''that's so sweet'' she gushes which earned her a raised eye-brow from Sheldon.
She coughed and straightened her back after putting her finger to her ear piece and obviously got told to wrap up the interview now. ''Sorry Dr Cooper. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to participate in this interview today''
''you are most welcome, Samantha. It has been a pleasure'' Sheldon's reply was genuine as he did enjoy this interview; or at least the interesting ending.
Well that interview was a little more interesting than the others, he noted to himself with amusement. After reluctantly shaking her hand after grimace smile, the interview was over and he made his way outside to find Penny.
He stepped into the car and slid into the passenger seat. He pulled out his Purell and rubbed his hands together. ''Ready?'' he asked penny after feeling clean again.
''As ready as I ever will be'' penny replied and they left to go to her audition.
-10 minutes later-
''so how did the interview go?'' Penny asked Sheldon.
''it was more enjoyable than the last one where the gentlemen sneezed in my presence.''
''Really? What was so special about this one?''
''well, the interviewer was genuinely interested in my work and she asked reasonable questions with enthusiasm.''
''aww she seems nice….she?...was she pretty?''
Sheldon turned to face her with a creased brow and a bemused smile ''she wasn't unappealing. Does her outer shell somehow affect who she is?''
''not at all sweetie, it's just…did you find her attractive whilst she was asking you loads of smart questions?'' penny hides her face away from his scrutinizing blue gaze.
''Penelope, I did not find her attractive…wait…'' he leans forward with his neck to look at her more intensely, ''Penelope Rose Queen. Are you jealous?'' he asks, imitating the same way she asked him the same question.
He interrupts her protest, ''Are you in some was jealous of a random women that I was only in the presence of for a pathetic 30 minutes?''
''No-'' penny tried to cut in.
''A women who asked questions about you?''
Penny slammed her foot down on the breaks at a red light and turned to him. ''Me? Did you answer them?'' she said whilst trying to hide her amusement of a glaring Sheldon after having just recovered from her poor breaking skills.
''Dear lord penny! Easy on the breaks. I answered her appropriate yet a little privet questions with vague answers. Only giving her enough details to hopefully quench the knowledge that the world suddenly has about our relationship.''
Penny exhaled a sigh of relief and pushed down on the gas after the green light and smiled smugly to herself.
''nice side step to the whole jealously thing by the way'' Sheldon said to her out of the corner of his mouth.
Penny smirked to him as she got out of the car.
''wait!'' Sheldon said before she looked back in through her window from outside of the car.
Sheldon lent over her seat and gave her a quick kiss before saying, ''good luck and break a leg''.
Penny laughed as she walked into the studio.
-45 minutes later-
''Hop little plumber. Hop. Hop.''
Sheldon turned off his laptop as penny got into the car.
Penny turned the key into ignition and left the car park and headed home.
''well?...How did it go?'' Sheldon asked slowly but penny's face stayed emotionless and facing the road.
''that went well'' she replied in an even voice, not giving anything away.
Sheldon opened the door to his apartment and went to step inside. Throughout the journey penny didn't say anything else after her reply and he was slightly worried about her silence.
No sooner than the door was open, did penny jump onto his back and sequel in his ear.
''Penny!'' Sheldon shouted at her sudden assault whilst trying to pry her off him.
''that was the best audition ever!'' penny let go of him and slid down his back. As soon as her feet hit the floor she was hugging him tightly.
''Penny! Why didn't you just tell me in the car instead of assaulting me in my home'' Sheldon replied as he manoeuvred her around his waist until she was hugging his front.
''I didn't want to be caught by cameras when I act like a lunatic'' penny lent back to look at him in the face with a coy smile.
Sheldon's 'oh' was cut off before it left his mouth by penny's lips. Her innocent peck took a dramatic turn as Sheldon's hand curled around the back of her neck and deepened it. His lips slid across her jaw to her neck and she tilted her head to give him more space just when his lips reached her pressure point.
''I have a good idea how to celebrate your successful audition.'' Sheldon whispered seductively into her ear.
''lay it on my, Batman'' penny replies breathlessly.
She can feel Sheldon's smirk on her neck.
''good choice of words, kitten'' Sheldon replies as he lifts her up and heads towards the hallway before she can ask him what he means.
Kitten? Why is that so hot? Penny thinks.
The question died on her lips as she saw his bedroom door and understood his plan. She wrapped her legs around his waist and the bedroom door clicked behind them after entering.
