Chapter 4

Penny was half way through getting her mail when Leonard appeared from the stairwell.

"Oh hey Penny, i was meaning to ask you if you still needed to talk to me because if you do im free now." He said as he opened his mail box and sifted through casually. If he had looked up he would have seen Penny's face go from normal to bright red to sheet white in record time.

"Um.... yes thats probally a good idea, you free now did you say?" Penny asked, her heart beating a thousand miles a second with fear, she had to ask him soon before she ran out of time.

"Yep, im all yours."Leonard replied, Penny could'nt help but grin at this comment. What was wrong with her is was just Leonard, wasnt it?

They made there way up the stairs in a moderatley comfortable silence, as they reached her apartment door Penny took a deep breath as she opened the door and walked in. Hearing Leonard close the door behind her she turned to face him and couldn't help but smile at his face. He was in one word... cute.

She gestured for them to sit and nervously began.

"So as you probably know it's my sisters wedding this weekend and the thing is i was talking to my mom about it the other day and she was trying to set me up with some loser again and kept going on and on and on about how i was useless when it came to relationships which i actually realised was true but dont tell her that. And i may have accidentely told her that i had a boyfriend and when she asked me his name, it was your name that kind off slipped out and the thing is if i show up without a date then i will never hear the end of it, so...."

Penny trailed off, glancing up at Leonard who was giving her a kind of confused dazed expression.

"Penny what excatly are you trying to ask me?" Leonard finally spoke confusion etched onto his face.

"Um... well... i was trying to ... just wondering if maybe you would possibly consider coming to Nebraska with me and i dont know ... pretend to be my boyfriend and i know how stupid that must sound but i would really really really apriciate it and you can totally tell me im crazy and walk out i would completely understand its just i cant have my mom be disapointed in me again i just .... i just cant" Penny's voice was nothing more than a whisper now and was on the verge of tears, trying her hardest to hold them back and bring herself to look at Leonard.

When she did she was suprised to see him actually smiling at her, he must think she had completely lost it.

"Penny, if it really means this much to you then i will come with you. Thats if it's not to weird." Penny sat there with her mouth hanging open in shock. Did he actually agree to this? She knew Leonard was incredebly sweet and kind but did he was seriously agree to this insane idea she had formulated in her head.

"You would seriously do that for me?" Pennt was touched that he cared that much.

"Sure, i can tell that this is important to you so i will help in what ever way i can, and if that means going to Nebraska with you then i will." Penny flung her arms around Leonard's neck and gave him a gentle kiss on the cheek.

"If you are sure you want to do this because i can just tell her that you have to work.." Penny began but Leonard cut in

"Penny i told you i will come and i will. Now what will i need to bring?"

Penny now possitively beaming began ticking off things that he would need to bring including a nice suit or at least a nice shirt and tie, knowing from experience that he only had one very ugly suit and tie for that matter. Desided that they could go shopping sometime before the wedding that weekend Penny suddenly glanced down at her watch and started to panic

"Crap, Leonard i have to get ready for work im sorry but can we meet up later if thats ok?" not giving him a chance to answer properly she practically threw him out of her apartment in a rush.

Leonard stood outside Penny's door a little shocked but grinning non the less, after all he was for this weekend at least Penny's boyfriend.
