Chapter Sixteen
"Uhm..well that is.." Penny was at a loss. How was she to handle such forwardness from James? He was saying every line out of romance movies that always had Penny sighing. She never knew that having all that attention positioned at her would be so embarrassing. Leonard was leaning against the couch snickering at her discomfort.
Smirking, James started to press chaste kisses down her neck line. The feeling had Penny melting against him. 'How did he know?' before a press of tongue against the hollow of her neck brought her back to reality.
"James! You.."she never finished before he swooped in for a kiss. Penny seized up. While it was a good kiss, it didn't have the same sizzle that the one Sheldon and she had shared weeks prior. Gathering all her strength, Penny shoved James off of her. He stumbled back looking perplexed before the smirk returned.
"Ah wondrous Penny. You must be wanting something to prove that my affections are pure." Kneeling again, James grabbed her hand. "Anything you want and I will proved my beautiful angel!"
She started to think of different ways to get him to leave when she was hit with the perfect idea. Batting her eyes coquettishly and trailing her fingers down his arm, she pouted at James.
"James what I really want from you" James stood at this and moved closer
"is for you to tell me why you were created by Sheldon. Why are you necessary?"
James smile dropped and his hooded eyes became a glare. Stepping away, he turned back towards the living room.
"You really know how to kick a guy in the balls " Sighing, he plopped himself into Sheldon's spot on the couch. He turned his gaze back to Penny and smiled depreciatingly. "Lee said you were smarter then you portrayed yourself to be." James leaned back and propped his feet up on the coffee table. "Well, I am necessary due to the fact that Mary Jo Wilson broke Sheldon's heart"
Penny's heart lurched. Sheldon loved someone? Pushing down the hurt that swelled up in her chest she focused on listening to the rest of what James was telling her.
"Although that was when he first started into his graduate degree or whatever he got. He was home before he headed back to college and told his neighbor that he loved her. Told her in that special way of his, of course. He told her at her birthday party where all the children in the neighborhood and school were present. They all heard her tell him that he was a freak of a person and that no one would ever love a robot like him. Don't think she realized how much courage he had to summon to tell her. Sheldon splintered off again and I was born. " spreading his arms, James motioned towards himself "The romantic alter."
Penny felt as if she could strangle someone. Mary Jo to be specific. To tell an adolescent boy that he would never be loved was one of the worst things to say to him. That his love was not worth anything to anybody. "What about.."
"Uh Uh! Penny you get one question from me. As I have already answered it, I believe that I will take my leave now" Bowing out, James kissed her cheek and swaggered out of the room. Tossing a look over his shoulder, he called back "Best of luck Princess. I hope you slay whatever dragon you're going after"
Penny turned back to Leonard, who was just smiling amiably at her.
"That went well" Leonard stated.
"Says you! How am I going to use that! All I want to do is punch that Mary Hoe girl in the face. That isn't going to solve anything"
"If you say so." He was cut off from whatever he was going to say when Sheldon walked back into the room. Carrying a large book.
"I have this…where did Koothrapali go?" Sheldon looked perplexed at the notion of him already being gone.
"He left with Chris. Why?"
"Well Missy gave me this book one year about human sexual relations. I thought that Koothrapali would find it most helpful to study. It has a few sections on it about homosexual coitus." He opened the book to display one very graphic image. Blushing and smiling, Penny closed the book for him. Good to know that he wasn't disgusted by Raj but rather wanting to help him.
"Sheldon I.."she looked up into his eyes and an idea hit her. "I would like to go to Texas."
"That is an interesting statement Penny, but one that does not follow what we were talking about. A non sequiter if you would. However, my mother has been persistently asking me to come visit her since I have so much free time after being.."his look shuttered before he gazed back at Penny. "If you would like to accompany me, I would find your company most enjoyable"
Smiling, Penny hugged him quickly before skipping out the room. She had a lot of things to plan and had to see if Missy would help her with her plan.
She called her manager and told him that she was having 'a family crisis' (not completely untrue. Just not her family) and she would not be able to work for the next week. Hanging up her phone, she headed to her bedroom's closet.
'Time to break out the big guns' she thought as she pulled out a dress from her closet and picked up her cell to call Missy.
