Leonard goes back to work
It was about a month after Leonard had returned, and today was they day he had to return back to work. As he left the ship earlier than expected, he had longer off work, although he couldn't help himself. While Penny would be at work, he would write some results or papers about his trip, so he wouldn't get behind. They had both dreaded this day. It would be the first whole day that they wouldn't see each other. Obviously Penny had to work, but she only did half days, and Leonard would occasionally pop in to see her. But today, they would have to go more than 8 hours without seeing each other, and this upset both of them.
When the alarm went off the next morning, it gave them both a fright, and they both groaned. Penny snuggled up closer to Leonard, she didn't want him to leave, and by the way he was holding her, he didn't want to leave to. They stayed like this for a few minutes, just staring into each other's eyes, until they kissed each other and then fell out of bed.
They both showered together, as neither wanted to leave the other. Then they got dressed, made breakfast and left. Luckily, Penny offered to do the morning shift, so that Leonard would be able to give her a lift, and so working could preoccupy her mind for most of the day. They went and knocked for Sheldon, as they promised to give him a lift too. He moaned at them for being 3 minutes late for most of the journey, and then started talking about his work. They were both glad that he had returned to his normal self, but today, they just wanted to be by themselves.
When they got to the Cheesecake factory, Leonard wished her a good day at work, and said that he would miss her, she smiled and said that she would miss him too, whilst playing with the heart shaped necklace that he had got her before he left, the one of which she has never taken off since he left. Then they kissed. Sheldon gave a huge sigh from the back of the car, which signified that they should stop. "I love you" Penny said as she was getting out of the car. Leonard smiled, "I love you too honey" he replied, as she walked into the restaurant. Leonard and Sheldon then preceded their journey to work.
Neither Penny nor Leonard's day was very good, Penny was bored. She had nothing to do; it was a Monday morning, which was normally quite quiet, but nothing like today. She spent most of her day talking to the waitresses about the usual, they told her about their lives and she smiled and nodded along, trying to look interested, secretly wanting to go home. Leonard's day wasn't much better. When he returned, he was bombarded with congrates and hellos, but then once he got back to his office and started to work, he had nothing to do. He had done everything he wanted too, and was now just doddering about his office. He was playing candy crush on his phone when he received a text from Penny:
Hey honey! I've just finished work, they let me go early as I had nothing to do! Do you fancy lunch? Love you xxxx
He smiled at this text and quickly replied…
Hey! That's great! I'm free at the moment, just come by the University whenever you want! See you soon. J Love you too xxx
About 15 minutes later, after Penny had gone home and changed, she arrived at the University, and quickly headed to his office. She knocked on the door before entering, finding Leonard sat at his desk playing solitaire on his laptop. "Hey honey, I'll just be a second, I'm nearly finished. Penny nodded and walked over to him, laughing at what she saw on the screen. "You're going to delay spending time with your amazing girlfriend, to play a card game!?" she laughed. "Well, yeah, it's taken ages for me to get here" he said with a smile on his face. She playfully hit him and laughed. When Leonard had finished his game, he took Penny out for lunch at a little café near the University. They sat and talked, joked, giggled and ate together for a while and then they went to Leonard's lab so that he could show her some cool experiments. Penny loved it when he did this, it just reminded her how smart he was, and how lucky she was to have him. He showed her some lasers and how they worked, she found them fascinating. He even let her use one. She found it so cool and quite honoured that someone like her was trusted to use a really expensive laser.
After about 2 hours, Penny left so that Leonard could do a few more bits before coming home. She decided to make him dinner, spaghetti of course, that's all she could make! But she thought it would be a nice surprise when he got home.
When he finally got home, Penny practically dived on him and kissed him. He was slightly shocked, yet so happy to see her again. They stood there passionately kissing for a few minutes until the buzzer went off that Penny had set for dinner.
After they had eaten, they sat down to watch TV, yet they weren't really watching it. They were too busy gazing into each other's eyes, just happy to be in each other's arms. This soon led to them kissing. Penny ended up straddling him, hocking her fingers in the curls in his hair. Leonard had one hand on her back, and another creeping down to her ass. She loved this, and felt herself getting more sweaty and hot as it went on. In the end she couldn't take it anymore, she stood up and led him into her room, where they passionately made love for the rest of the evening.
