Story 7: The Lake-

Leonard knocked nervously on the door of 4B. Even though they were in a relationship Penny still took his breath away every time he saw her. They had planned on having a day, just the two of them, to get away from Sheldon and Amy. Leonard had suggested a romantic meal but Penny had turned it down and made a suggestion they should go to the lake instead. He had agreed straight away because he knew it would make Penny happy. Leonard knew she enjoyed going for meals and being treated with chocolates and flowers but he knew she loved the simple things too, like going to the park or just going for a walk around the block.

When she finally came to her door she greeted him with "Hey you!" and leaned him to kiss him straight away, placing her hands on his jawline pulling him into her lips. Leonard smiled into her when their mouths touched and placed both his hands on the bottom of Penny's back which made her take a step forward.

After a while they finally parted and Penny grabbed her bag from the couch, which contained sandwiches and drinks for their trip, then walked out of her apartment to join Leonard.

Penny was wearing a floral dress with dolly shoes and Leonard, typically, was wearing a periodic table t-shirt, a jacket, a coat, red jeans and his black converse.

As soon as they started to make they're way down the 4 flights of stairs Leonard took the bag off Penny and put it over his shoulder. She then took his right hand in her left and linked their fingers which made them both smile.

It didn't take them long to reach Leonard's car but when they did he made sure he opened the car door for her before she took a seat. Leonard also closed it after her too. They set off to the lake, which was a 10 minute drive, in high spirits. Just being around Penny always made Leonard happy, and the fact that he was so cute made Penny want to be with him forever.

"Thank you for this Leonard, I really needed to get away from Amy's wining about Sheldon not taking her to the science museum! She's been getting on my nervous all week." Penny told him when they had set off from their apartment buildings car park.

"It's fine. Sheldon's been getting on my nerves too! And I love spending time with you so I'm happy." Leonard replied whilst turning to look at Penny. Every few seconds he had to look back at the road to keep the car under control, but he couldn't help himself; he had to stare at her.

"I'm happy too y'know." Penny informed Leonard.

"I know you are, and I'm glad!" He smiled his signature smile at Penny, the one that always melted her heart, the one that have her butterflies, the one she loved.

Leonard kept at a steady 30mph on the journey, this gave him a free hand as he didn't have to change gears. He placed it in the middle of Penny's left thigh and squeezed lightly before smiling to himself. Penny responded by moving her hand to the back of his neck to play with the curls at the back of his head. She twisted pieces of his hair between her fingers and lightly tickled where she knew he was most sensitive. He concentrated on the road but every so often he couldn't help but flash a smile Penny's way.

Penny used her other free hand to link with Leonard's which was resting on her thigh. Then she leaned in to kiss Leonard on the cheek. This surprised him because he didn't expect it. "What was that for?" He asked whilst grinning and looking into Penny's eyes.

"Nothing..." Penny took a few seconds because saying "I love you Leonard. You know that, right?" She asked.

Now Leonard was smiling even more than before. "I know you do Pen, I love you too." He squeezed her hand and turned back to the road still with a huge grin on his face. Even though they told each other they loved one another everyday, it still made them both smile when the other person said it. Neither of them would ever get tired of hearing it.

After a while they arrived at the lake. It was a warm, sunny Sunday afternoon. They would have gone earlier but Penny had to work the breakfast shift at The Cheesecake Factory, she had been on her feet all day.

The couple had to walk around the lake to reach the grass where they could sit down and eat their sandwiches. When they were half way round Penny's feet started to hurt, she slowed down but it didn't help.

"Leonarddddddd, my feet hurt." She informed him. He hadn't realised she had slowed down so he was a few steps in front. He knew exactly what she wanted.

Leonard made his way back to her, handed her the bag, turned around so his back has facing her and gestured for her to get on his back. Penny didn't say anything, she just smiled and jumped so he could give her a piggy back.

As soon as she jumped Leonard wrapped his hands around her thighs so she was stable and wasn't going to fall. Penny, on the other hand, ran her hands down his chest. He shivered under her touch, he knew she enjoyed teasing him but he didn't really appreciate it when they were in a public place.

Penny started scraping her finger nails up and down his chest whilst placing her forehead onto his neck. Her breathing on it made it worse for Leonard. He gripped harder on her thighs to try make more contact and maybe tease Penny a little but it didn't really work, it only made her smile into his neck which made it worse for him.

He couldn't do anything else but laugh, her breath was tickling his neck and her hands were so soft on his chest. "Penny, Penny stop it. Wait until we get home." He told her in between giggles.

Penny only laughed. At this point they were only a few steps away from the grass area where they could eat. Leonard let Penny's thighs go and she slid down his back, onto her feet.

They sat on the grass facing the sun. Leonard sat down with his legs outstretched in front of him, so Penny sat next to him and rested her back against his chest. Leonard put his arm to the side of him to give them more support.

Now, as Penny was so close to him, it was time to tease her a little. He moved her hair from the right side of her neck to the left so one side was completely exposed. Without thinking he moved his mouth to it. He started sucking and biting lightly on it, Penny enjoyed the intimacy so she put her hand on the back of his head to push him further into her neck.

Soon Penny started to enjoy it too much so she moved her mouth onto his. After a few seconds she told him: "We should eat."

Leonard knew she had stopped because she was enjoying it too much which instantly made him happy. There were other couples around but they weren't really paying attention to Leonard and Penny, they were all concentrating on the person they were with.

They ate their sandwiches and drunk their drinks fairly quickly as they both wanted to get home for obvious reasons.

After about 10 minutes they stood up, linked fingers and started the walk back to the car.

On the way home they did exactly what they had done on the way there. Leonard's hand was on Penny's thigh (but slightly further up than last time) and Penny's hand was tickling the back of her boyfriends neck.

"Thank you for a really good day Leonard, I had a nice time." Penny told him.

Leonard looked at Penny and grinned. "Me too..." He took a deep breath before saying "I love you so much Penny, like more than you'll ever know." Leonard looked at her to see her response.

Penny smiled her biggest smile and replied with "I love you too, and I think I have an idea." She giggled before kissing him on his cheek once more.
