The Wolowitz Dilemma
Chapter 2
This story hasn't gotten the amount of reviews that I usually wait to write the second chapter for but I have a lot of hopes for it and want to keep going.
On Penny's request Howard and Raj had agreed to help Jennifer carry her things into Penny's apartment.(Well Howard had agreed whilst Raj nodded and gave a thumbs up) At the top of the stairs Jennifer, box of clothes in hand called out" Come on guys only a few more steps." Of course that was easy for her to say because she was carrying the lightest box. A sweat drenched Howard dropped the box on the floor and collapsed on the couch" What do you have in there, rocks?" Jennifer chuckled and pointed to the label on the box that read Rock and mineral collection. He looked up at her" You couldn't have mentioned that before I agreed to carry it?" Jennifer grinned sheepishly" You two look pretty beat I'll see what Penny has in the fridge" The fridge was pretty bare aside from a few bottles of wine and some moldy cheese.
Jennifer shook her head at the sight but hoped the guys weren't too picky and poured them each a glass" Sorry guys it was either this or some cheese that looked like it was gonna bite me" Raj having started drinking alcohol finally smiled kindly and spoke" It's not a problem now I can finally talk to you." Jennifer nodded" Yea Penny told me about how you can't talk to women without drinking, sorry about that man." She started sorting through one of the boxes that were full of clothes but in opening it she discovered that she had failed to label the box anything other than clothes. She blushed a bit as the box was full of night gowns and black lingerie. She hoped they didn't notice and she quickly ran the box into the other room"
Raj quickly noticed that his best friend had his classic creepy as hell smile plastered onto his features. The Indian man gave Howard a whack across the head. "Ow! What was that for?"" Howard asked rubbing the sore spot on his head. "Dude, you already have a woman besides I call dibs" Raj answered. Howard rolled his eyes" Relax I know that and I'd never cheat on Bernadette okay? But that doesn't mean I can't enjoy the view" Raj pouted" Hey you know I don't appreciate you ogling my future wife." Howard raised an eyebrow" Let's see how do I put this um….you've known her for the better part of two seconds!"
Having gotten past her embarrassing moment Jennifer walked back into the room and opened another box" There you are." She brought out a number of large textbooks on ancient history, a few Chinese dynasties and a collection of auto biographies of holocaust survivors" Howard nearly flew out of his seat" Wow, these are first edition, firsthand accounts on the holocaust!" He delicately ran fingers over the cover of one of them" Jennifer beamed with pride" Yep and these babies cost me an arm and a leg' plus some internal organs." She mentally slapped herself at making that joke again; it wasn't funny in Nebraska so why would it be funny here? To her surprise they both chuckled.
Just then Leonard and Penny walked in arm in arm looking totally as you would expect a couple in love to be." Jennifer smiled softly" Hey lovebirds" Penny slung an arm around her little sisters shoulders" Hello oh single one" Jennifer rolled her eyes and chuckled but in reality it was a sensitive topic; she had never been with a guy who wasn't either a cheater, a jerk or had moved on to something better." She slipped out of the room unnoticed and slid against the wall. Sometimes she wishes she were more like Penny and less like Jennifer.
Okay so that got a bit angsty at the end but this story is partial comedy, partial angst and all love 3
