"Penny?" Sheldon called as he heard the front door open and close.
"It's Leonard" Leonard growled.
"I take it you're here to pick up the rest of your belongings"Sheldon said, walking out of his bedroom.
"Yes Sheldon, why else would I be here" He seethed.
"Carry on then, you can leave your key in the bowl" He said gesturing towards the bowl near the door.
"Of all the women Sheldon did it have to be Penny?"Leonard asked .
"Yes Leonard because you see she has diminished my Homo Novus status."
"Meaning?"
"It means I love Penny and not the way you claimed to love her."
"CLAIMED? I DO LOVE PENNY!" He screeched
"No Leonard you didn't, you treated her like a piece of arm candy and a booty call as it were, that is not love Leonard" Sheldon stated.
"You think you're actually capable of loving her? Do you think you can actually have sex with Penny? Because Sheldon she wont wait around for sex and then she'll come back to me for it" He said
"Who says we haven't already engaged in coitus?" Sheldon retaliated
"Exactly Leonard" They both turned around to see Penny standing in the walked over and planted a kiss on Sheldon's jaw "Last night was great" She said winking at him. They hadn't actually had sex yet but Penny wasn't going to let this pathetic little man make Sheldon feel like shit.
"Really? You slept with him! You're lying, Sheldon would never have sex with someone"
"I beg to differ and yeah I did have sex with Sheldon and he was the best I've ever had and Leonard I wouldn't go back to you, ever."
"Does he even have a penis?" Leonard asked, his idea of trash talk was pathetic
"Oh he does and Leonard between the three of us, it's more than twice the size of yours" Penny said
With that Leonard stormed off into his room to gather his things. He was going to move in with his mother for a while...
"Penny..." Sheldon started "Why did you lie?"He whispered
"Honey I have no doubt you are more than twice the size of Leonard and because Leonard was being a bastard and I just couldn't listen to him talk shit about you like that, okay?"She said, shooting him a little smile and pulling him in for a hug.
"Are you packed for Paris?" He whispered in her ear.
"Oh but of course" She whispered, winking at him.
"I have arranged for a car to pick us up at twelve tonight, we should arrive before ten tomorrow morning. We can start moving the rest of your belongings over now if you like and we can put them away when we get back"
"Sounds like a plan" She said pulling away and walking over to her apartment, Sheldon close behind.
When they got back to their apartment Leonard was gone so they could just put all of her things into his old room until they got back. They checked that they had everything ready, Penny checked she had enough birth control pills to last the trip, she had a feeling she'd them.
Sheldon carried their bags down the stairs and Penny locked the door and followed him down. They arrived at the airport, checked in their bags and boarded the plane.
"You should try get some sleep Penny" Sheldon said placing a kiss on her temple as the plane took off.
"I'll try sweetie" She said, giving his hand a little squeeze
Sheldon woke her up as the pilot announced they would be landing in a few minutes. She wiped the sleep from her eyes and looked up at Sheldon and gave him a kiss.
"Good morning honey" She whispered
"Good morning darlin" He said with a Texas twang in his voice "It feels strange to talk like that"He said to himself. Penny let out a soft giggle and the plane made contact with the ground.
They collected their bags and their car was waiting outside for them. Sheldon actually could drive and did it quiet well,they arrived at their hotel in less than half an hour. They checked in at the desk and were given the key card to their room (floor actually). They stepped into the elevator and sheldon swiped the card and the elevator began to move.
"Sheldon, why do you have to swipe the key to use the elevator?"
"Because we have a whole floor to ourselves and we don't want just anyone walking in do we?"He said
"Not at all" She purred, placing little kisses along his jawline.
The doors opened and Penny's jaw dropped. The room had huge windows, marble floors, two plush sofas and bean bags scattered around the room, there was a huge HD television and she saw the xbox with HALO resting on the coffee table. She looked up and saw him smirking down at her. The bedroom had an king sized bed with two lockers at each side. There was one of those wardrobes with the sliding doors. The kitchen was like one you'd see in those show houses and the bathroom was bigger than their living room at home. It had huge bath, enough room for two Penny thought as she had a look around. The shower was quiet big too. Sheldon went around inspecting the all the rooms' cleanliness and once he was finished he sat down on one of the sofas and pulled Penny down onto his lap.
"So what do you want to do?" She purred.
"Well there are many things I want to do" He said, winking at her "But for now you are to get dressed into something more comfortable and you and I are going to play some HALO then after I shall cook us some dinner"
"And after dinner?"
"After dinner you and I are going to The Eiffel Tower"
"Sounds very romantic Shelly" She said, kissing his neck lightly.
They played HALO for a few hours and she stayed sitting on his lap, occasionally stopping to kiss him or to distract him from the game.
"So what would you like for dinner?" He asked her.
"Hmmmm spaghetti and hot dogs?"
"Sounds great" He said, trailing kisses from her jaw down to her neck.
He got up abruptly from the sofa and walked into the kitchen, looking for the necessary ingredients, Penny followed him in and sat up on the counter.
"Sheldoooon" She whispered seductively.
"Yes?" He replied, his breath hitching
"Come over here"
With that he waltzed over, grabbed her butt and lifted her up off the counter, she instinctively wrapped her legs around his waist as he pressed his lips against hers, gaining entry with his tongue. He kept one hand on her butt to hold her up, the other was tracing circles on her back, her fingers running through his soft hair.
"Penny" He choked between kisses
"Mmmhmmm"She mumbled
"I can't cook us dinner if you keep teasing me like that" He said pulling away from the kiss.
"Okay" She sighed, resting her head against his shoulder.
Sheldon cooked dinner in between Penny stealing kisses and they sat at the counter eating away.
"Go get dressed and there's some new shoes waiting for you in the closet"
"Sheldon, you really have to stop spending so much money"
"Penny, you don't understand, I want to. Now go get dressed and we shall depart when you are ready"
Penny wore a knee length,strapless navy dress with maroon heels and Sheldon put on a pair of dark jeans and a shirt. They walked down from their hotel to The Eiffel Tower as it was only a ten minute walk and Sheldon gave Penny his walked around for a while when Sheldon suddenly stopped.
"Penny, I have something else for you" He said reaching into his pocket, rooting for the little box
"Sheldon, don't you think you've bought me enough?"She asked him
"Penny this gift is mutually beneficial" He said pulling out the little box.
"Sheldon is that what I think it is?" She gasped
"I don't know open and see"
"Sheldon I swear to God..."She shrieked before she finished her sentence.
"Oh no I've done something wrong, Penny I-I-I'm so sorry"
"Sheldon when you give someone a ring like that it's usually followed by a question. Would I be right in thinking there is a question you need to ask?"
"Penny just say yes or no, I understand that proposals are rare in such early stages of a relationship but I feel with ours this question is by far overdue and Penny I can't see myself with anyone else other than you"
"So I get to be Mrs. Sheldon Lee Cooper? She said handing him the ring so he could slide it onto her finger.
"Indeed you do but I was thinking..."
"No Sheldon we are not having our wedding at Comi-Con before you even ask"
"I do love you Penny" He said pulling her in close to him and pressing his lips against hers.
"I love you too honey" She said as they began to walk back to their hotel.
