Sheldon's reaction
The next day Penny woke up with a huge smile on her face, still in shock from the night before. She couldn't believe it. He said yes. He agreed to be hers forever, and she loved it. She was practically glowing. She turned her head to look at him. He was still asleep. She stared at him for a few minutes, totally in awe of him. She snuggled closer and slowly drifted off back to sleep. She woke up to him moving and grabbed onto his top. Leonard laughed. "Honey I have to go to work." He said, although knowing that all she had to do was say no and he would stay. "Please, stay with me, take today off work, I just wanna have a lazy day with you" she mumbled into his chest. He nodded and lied back down with her. She laughed silently as she heard his 'sickly' phone call into work. He sounded so cute. After he finished, he grabbed her and pulled her close. This spontaneous gesture made her giggle as she kissed him. She never wanted to let go. She loved him with all of her heart, and today she wanted to show him. They were going to have a lazy Friday, eat crap, watch movies, just being with each other all day.
After they ate breakfast, Leonard popped over to Sheldon's apartment to grab something. He told Penny it was a surprise. As much as she loved surprises, she didn't want to be away from him for one second, yet she could see how much it meant to him. When he returned, Penny instantly had her arms around his neck and was kissing him. "So what's my surprise then?" she said when she finally let him go. "Well I got you something a while ago, yet now I can give it to you" he said handing her a little box. She opened it to find a beautiful gold ring, with a diamond in the middle. She gasped. It was gorgeous, she couldn't believe it. He had picked the perfect ring out for how. It must have cost a fortune. She didn't want him to spend all of that money on her, yet she was so happy he had. He took the ring out of the box and put it on her finger. It was the perfect fit. She didn't know what to say. She was still in complete shock about the whole thing. She couldn't believe it. The engagement felt real now, yet she didn't feel scared. She felt happy and secure. Now people would know that she was his, she was taken, that she would never have to be with another guy again because she was done. She squeezed him tight and whispered "thank you so much, I love you more than anything". "I love you too" he whispered back.
They had a great day together. They watched a few chick flicks- Penny's choice of course; they ate, snuggled up close, kissed, joked and laughed about, not having to worry about anything for the day. It was just them, together, for the rest of their lives. It was a perfect day.
At around 6 ish, they both decided it was a good idea to go over to Sheldon's to eat. One, it was a way to get free food and two; they wanted to tell them about then engagement. So they got ready and walked across the hall. When they walked in they were greeted by their friends, and they walked over to the fridge to get a drink. "Why do you two look so happy?" Amy asked, observing them. Penny looked at Leonard and he nodded. "oh, um… well we got engaged last night". The room erupted with a big WHAT?! "Geeze guys don't look so surprised" Penny said with a little laugh. "Oh Penny we are so happy for you" Bernadette said with a smile on her face, as she went to hug her best friend. When she released Penny she grabbed her hand to look at the ring. "Oh penny, it's gorgeous!" she said whilst signalling for Howard to come over. "Wow" Howard said, as he patted Leonard on the back. Raj put his thumbs up and headed to the fridge for a beer. After he drank some he came over and congratulated them, cooing at Penny's ring. She was smiling at all the attention from them, yet she could help but notice that Sheldon wasn't there. He was sat in his spot looking down at his food. Penny tapped Leonard and walked over to him. "You doing okay sweetie?" she asked, there was no reply.
"Look I know it's a change and I know you don't like a change, but Penny and me aren't going anywhere" Leonard said. Sheldon looked up at him. "My life will be disturbed because of you, how does that make you feel?" Amy butted in. "Sheldon it's a good thing to move on you know, not everything can stay the same forever." He didn't reply. A lot of what she said made sense, but he couldn't stand the fact that he was wrong. He walked over to his room. Penny felt awful. She hated upsetting him, but this was a good thing. "Are we terrible people?" Penny asked Leonard with a sad look on her face. "N honey of course not, Sheldon just needs some time to come to grips with things, in a few days he will be fine. You and me will be together forever, that's nothing to feel horrible about". She smiled. He always knew what to say to cheer her up. She snuggled into his arms and talked to the gang for the rest of the night. 'Sheldon will be okay, I know he will' she kept thinking. Nothing was going to spoil her good mood.
