Back to reality

It was a few weeks after Leonard had gone back to work now, and it was as if nothing changed. Penny and Leonard would get up, have breakfast, go to work, and either stay at Penny's or Leonards depending on their shift. They were both finally happy again, happy to be back with the person that they loved more than anything. Obviously there were some nights that they didn't see each other, which were always hard, yet they didn't let it bother them, they knew that they were both under the same roof, and that was good enough.

When Leonard returned from work, he saw Penny sat down watching a film. He smiled at her. It was probably a romcom, as she had tears in her eyes and was hugging a cushion. He placed down his bag and went and sat next to her. She jumped. She didn't hear him come in. he laughed at her and brought her close. She smiled in his chest. "I'm that scary huh?" he laughed. She giggled into his chest "No of course not!" she laughed. "Sorry" she said, he smiled and kissed her on the head. She was watching Dear John, one of her favourites. Penny never understood why Leonard didn't like it. It had a cute relationship, and a sad ending, what else would you want? But he still watched it with her, however many times he said no, and she loved him more for it. They sat there cuddling for a few minutes, Penny started crying, it had got to a sad bit, she always cried at this bit, John started reading the letter to his dad. This bit always got her. Leonard held her closer to him and wiped the tears off her cheek with his thumb, she smiled into him. She loved him so much.

When the film ended she turned around and kissed him. She loved him being there, his smell, the way he dressed everything. She just wanted him to be hers forever. But she couldn't do it yet, she still had to plan it properly. He was the most amazing guy in the world; the least she could do was give him the most amazing proposal, to show him how much she loved him. When they finally broke, they just stared at each other. Looking deep into each other's eyes, ripping at each other's souls. They ended up ordering pizza and having a pig-out in Penny's apartment. After they ate, they sat watching another one of Penny's romantic films. Leonard wasn't really watching it, the storyline didn't really appeal to him, but Penny liked it, therefore he would watch it. Once the film had finished, they sat on the sofa, talking. Conversations always came easy; they always had something to talk about.

"Anyways, I was thinking" Penny said, " maybe you should move in here, I don't want to spend any more time away from you" she looked hopeful. He smiled and nodded, "Yeah okay, I don't want to spend any more days without you beside me." Penny's smile grew. She threw her arms around him and kissed. She was so happy, she had never properly lived with a boy before, and she was so excited! She was going to spend every night with him, she was so happy. "But we can't tell Sheldon for a while though; I don't think he could deal with it." Leonard said, Penny agreed. She knew that Sheldon was very sensitive, and she knew that Leonard would tell him eventually. "I can't believe that we are going to live together!" she beamed and hugged him tight. He kissed the top of her head and said "I know honey, this is it now, you and me, I'm never leaving you again, I promise!" she couldn't believe what was happening, she was so overwhelmed with happiness, she couldn't keep the smile off her face.

That night they went to sleep in each other's arms, both with huge smiles on their faces, happy to be taking the next big step in their lives, together.
