Penny almost made the best Spaghetti. His mom makes the best, but Penny's is a close second. He enjoys when she cooks some of his favorite childhood meals because she can almost do it like his mom and his MeeMaw.
And they always get to do the dishes together after and while Penny isn't the most efficient dish washer, she started to listen to Sheldon a little, noticing the cleanliness of her dishes.
"Penny where did you learn to cook?" He asked suddenly while Penny watched the sink fill with water.
"My Nan. She loved to teach me lady like things…" Penny seemed to think about this, "Don't take that wrong! She encouraged me to do and be anything. She just thought I should know how to cook." Penny shrugged.
"Ah, I see. You know your cooking is my third favorite." She lifted her eyebrows but knew that it wasn't meant as an insult.
"Thanks sweetie…" She decided to say.
She put the plates in the water and let them soak a minute.
"Sheldon, I don't want to wash tonight." Penny made a pouty face that would have worked on anyone else, but not Sheldon.
"It's your turn. Jeez, Penny you'd think you would want a little structure in your life. You can't even keep to the dishes schedule." Sheldon rolled his eyes and she cracked a smile.
"But you are my structure sweetie." She kissed his cheek and he blushed a little, hoping she wouldn't notice.
He still liked the way her lips felt on his. How they felt against his skin. It tingled and made him smile. She pretended she didn't see his blushes so he wouldn't get embarrassed and she liked those moments.
"Okay Moon Pie, I'll wash." She began washing the plates when she got a mischievous thought. Sheldon didn't notice. He was drying the plate meticulously.
She handed them over and most dish passed his inspection.
"Oh, Sheldon, you know you scrub these too hard sometimes." He never heard such a remark about HIM. He's practically perfect.
She showed him where some paint had flecked off from his last wash.
"You don't purchase the right dishes. I'll buy you the correct ones." He said with a triumphant smile.
"No, Sheldon. I like these plates that's why I bought them." She grumbled.
He lifted his eyebrows, "Fine." He muttered, knowing some things Penny just…likes.
When Sheldon was drying the last fork Penny turned on the water and drained her side of the sink. She suddenly splashed Sheldon and his fork.
He dropped the fork, shocked, and turned to look at Penny's smile.
"Uh, Shelly, you have some water on you." She splashed him again and laughed.
"Penny, that's childish and now I have to change!" She laughed as she did it again.
He glared, all right if she wants a war she can have one. He grabbed the hose and sprayed her with it. She was laughing madly know, she didn't expect Sheldon to engage in this behavior.
"You'll never win!" He shouted causing her to stop laughing. She wrestled the hose away from him, it was fairly easy, and sprayed him down.
"Yeah right Moon Pie. I started this war and I'm gonna finish it." She laughed again as she sprayed his face.
Sheldon knew he could still win, with one dirty tactic. He walked straight up to Penny, who was still spraying and grabbed her outstretched arms that were holding the hose.
"Psh, not going to be that easy." She shouted.
He pushed her arms down, grabbed her chin gently and kisses her. She dropped the hose and returned his deep kiss. He snuck the hose into his hand, using his feet and legs to shimmy it to its current place. He put the hose to her chest and sprayed.
She gasped pulled away and shouted, "SHELDON!" When she saw his face she laughed.
"Fine you win. My Moon Pie." She smiled at him and he put the hose away.
"Yes, I do." He said it gently as he pulled, the now sopping wet, Penny into his equally wet arms.
They shared a kiss again but this time with no ulterior motives.
And Sheldon was happy.
