The Wolowitz Dilemma
Chapter 4
Woo hoo! I got some reviews and follows, thanks so much you guys are just the greatest.
It had been a few weeks since Jennifer had moved in with Penny and she had finally started to settle in. Not only that but she had develuped opinions on everyone she had met. First of all there was Sheldon cooper, sure he was well bat shit crazy and he had no respect for what she did but there was something about him that made Jennifer want to figure him out. She would never admit it to him but picking his brain would be a lot of fun. Then there was Leonard who was now someone she considered a friend, he was kind, reliable and wore his heart on his sleeve. Actually sometimes she thought he could do with some toughening up. As for Raj, well sure he was a bit odd but he had a heart of gold and maybe just maybe Jennifer was started to warm up to the idea of going out with him. Lastly there was Howard, god was he something. He was intelligent, funny and damn cute. Jennifer shook her head to get rid of those thoughts; as much as she loved her sister there was never any escuse to go after a taken guy. Mainly because there was not escuse to break another girls heart. Jennifer for all her alleged toughness also wore her heart on her sleeve and that had cost her dearly in the heart department.
"Hello? Earth to Jennifer." Leonard shook her out of her thoughts.
She blinked a few times" Huh oh sorry Leonard I spaced out" He had stayed the night again, Jennifer noted.
Not that she minded his presence; actually as far as friendship went it was probably Leonard whom she liked best.
He chuckled" Houston we've made contact." He had that kind smile on his face, it was almost humbling to know someone as genuine as him." Anyway Penny wants to know if you're having breakfast with us or not."
Jennifer grabbed her leather jacket" Uh no thanks I'm not really hungry." He read her expression
"You can relax I'm head chef this morning." Jennifer's eyes lit up
"Well, okay fine I'm starving" She noted that his kind smile grew a little smug. Well he was an amazing cook, hell she wouldn't have minded having Leonard move in if it meant having his pancakes every morning.
Jennifer put on her jacket and literally tore a brush through her hair before heading into the kitchen. The aroma of bacon filled her nose as she piled her friend's award worthy cooking onto a plate.
Her sister scoffed" Keep that up and you'll be single even longer" of course Jennifer knew that Penny was just playing around but it did sting a bit. She wouldn't say it out loud though so she just retorted
"Yea well we can't all lower our standards princess" Maybe it had been mind of uncool to take it out on Leonard but did Penny always have to remind her that she was single?
Leonard folded his arms" I'm standing right her you know." Jennifer was relieved that he had joked it off because she wanted to get back at Penny not Leonard.
She did something she never did" Sorry Leonard, that wasn't cool" she knew but the fact that Penny's jaw hit the floor that it hadn't gone unnoticed. She never apologized to anyone but she did have a sisterly soft spot for Leonard.
After a long exhausting day of job searching Jennifer slumped up the miles of stairs to Penny's apartment and ran into Leonard getting his mail. "Oh hey Jen, how did the job search go?"
She looked at him pathetically" About as well as Raj on a girl's debate team"
He chuckled slightly" Hey, why don't you join us for movie night? There's a Doctor Who marathon on tonight." She smiled gratefully
"Doctor who huh? That's the one with the dude from Harry Potter right?" Leonard replied
"Well actually David Tennant was a couple doctors ago tonight's marathon is with the tenth doctor. " Jennifer was confused but she didn't question it
"You know what I've got nothing better to do, I'm in." she followed him upstairs where everyone was waiting.
