AN: Thank you all so much for the reviews! I really Appreciate it!
As you all can see I really dislike the Pryia character. I always thought Pryia was bad for Leonard and did not really like him for who he really was. So I'm making this story show how Penny has always accepted Leonard and the guys, for who they are, and she loves them for who they are.
This chapter is a little longer then the others. Enjoy! :)
The next morning, both Leonard and Penny were woken up by the alarm. Leonard had set it for 7.
Penny groaned and Leonard chuckled as he sat up to turned off the alarm. Penny scooted closer to him and turned over to face him and rested her head on his shoulder and moved her face up to nuzzle his neck.
"Good morning, sunshine." Leonard teased.
Penny slapped his arm playfully. "Ow!" Leonard chuckled softly and pulled her closer to him, giving her a kiss on the top of her head, she sits up and leans down to gives him a kiss on the lips and nuzzles her nose on his.
Leonard smiles up to her as she hovered over him. "Hey there, beautiful. Did you sleep well?" Leonard asked gently.
Penny sits up next to him, then she spreads his legs apart and she lays down on top of his body. Her face resting on his chest, her legs in between his. Leonard smiled and kissed the top of her head again. "Hmm. Are you comfy, baby?" She asked letting out a tiny yawn. "Of course." Leonard tells her. He pulled the covers up and over them and held her tightly.
"You do know I have to get ready for work." Leonard said after a minutes or so.
Penny moaned and started placing little kisses to his chest. "I don't want you too!" She whined.
Leonard frowned as he looked down at her. He pulled her closer to him and started to rub soft circles on her lower back.
"You okay? What's this about?" He asked.
Penny moved her head up to meet his and placed her forehead on his. "I just, want you here with me today." She said then gave him the famous puppy dog eyes and pouted lip.
"Sweetheart, come on. Tell me what's bothering you." Penny sighed and looks away from him. "Its just what if she comes to see you again today. What if she touches you or kisses you? What if you still have feelings for her, and you want to try it out with her again or sleep with her?" Penny says sadly.
Leonard frowned in concern. "Penny look at me." He said softly. Penny does as he asked.
"That won't happen. If she comes back I will tell her to leave and that I'm with you and want to be with just you. I love you. I thought we trusted each other." He said. "I do trust you, I really do. But I do not trust her. Plus you did have feelings for her in the past, strong feelings, it just makes me worried." Penny tells him honestly. "okay I get that. But just know that I will handle this. I promise." Leonard tells her cupping her face in his hands. "Okay. I love you." Penny tells him giving him a kiss. "I love you, too. So much." Leonard told her kissing her tenderly.
Once they parted from the kiss, Leonard looked up at her and cupped her face in his hands.
"Can I go get ready for work now?" He asked gently. Penny frowns but nods. "Yes, only cause you have to." She says.
Penny gets up off of him and gets out of bed, throws on her robe before walking out and goes into the kitchen. Leonard gets up and goes to take his shower and gets dressed for work.
Once he's done, he meets his girlfriend in the kitchen.
Penny smiles at him and hands him a travel mug full of coffee. Leonard wraps his arms around her waist and pulled her close. "Thank you, Lovebug."
"For what, honey?" Penny looks up slightly at him. "For being so understanding. For listening to me and just being the caring, sweet, kind hearted women I know and love."
Penny had tears in her eyes as she cupped his cheek in her hand and placed a soft but passionate kiss to his lips. "Leonard, I will always be here for you. Whatever you need, I'll be right here, with arms wide open."
Leonard's smile got so big it almost hurt. he loved this women so much, he could never comprehend just how much, he didn't think anyone could. That was a hard morning for Leonard. After she said that, and knew she didn't want him to go into work, he almost stayed with her.
But that popular but annoying knock pulled them both from the moment and turned toward the door.
knock, knock, knock, "Leonard and Penny."
knock, knock, knock, "Leonard and Penny."
knock, knock, knock, "Leonard and Penny."
Penny had called Bernadette and Amy for a girls night. She needed to hear what the girls thought about this whole Pryia thing, was she overreacting? Maybe a little, but she couldn't help it. Nobody could compare to Leonard. Nobody could ever take his place in her heart, he was the love of her life.
The girls all sat around in Penny's apartment, talking about Sheldon and Amy's relationship. As usual, Sheldon was being Sheldon and Amy wants a little more affection. She just wants him to hold her hand or touch her arm. Penny felt bad for the girl and Bernadette had been giving her advise.
Bernadette noticed how quiet Penny has been tonight. "Penny?" She called to her.
Amy looking at the blonde as well. "Penny?!" Bernadette said louder and touched her arm.
Penny looked to her friends and saw them both looking at her. "what?" She asked innocently.
"okay spill it girl." Bernadette said firmly.
Penny sighed. "UGH! this is stupid, but need you're guys advise." Penny said taking a breath.
Amy nods and Bernadette gives Penny a reassuring smile. "It's about Pryia." Penny said and told the girls all about Pryia and Leonard and their history, then about how Pryia had visited Leonard and wanted him to sleep with her this time too. She told them her fears about all this. She finished with tears in her eyes, somehow she held them back.
Amy looked to Bernadette and gave her a glare. Knowing it was her idea to let Raj invite his sister. Howard had been against the idea, because of this. Bernadette looked shocked and then guilty.
"Penny, you know Leonard loves you, very much. He would never hurt you." Amy tells her bestie.
"I know that, Amy. It's just I can't help feeling this way. They have a past, a big past. He had strong feelings for her not so long ago. What if they come back? What if she tries something like this again and, and-" That's when he tears started coming and she just shook her head taking a sip of her wine.
Bernadette quickly moved to put her arm around her best friend. "Hon, I'm so sorry I let this happen. I should never of let Raj bring her back here." She said with guilt. Penny shook her head. "its not your fault this happened, sweetie." Penny said wrapping her in a hug.
"Do you think I'm overreacting? This morning I almost made Leonard stay home with me and even though he made me feel a little better, I still wanted him here so she wouldn't come back. I'm acting like a crazy girlfriend." Penny said parting from the hug with the shorter blonde.
"Maybe a little." Amy nods to her.
"The worrying part and the insecure part, no. But the crazy overprotected, needy wife part, yes." Penny stares at the girl. Bernadette gives Amy a pointed look. "Look Penny. Being worried about stuff like this is normal in relationships, haven't you ever felt this way before?" Bernadette asked, Penny nods. "sure, but not this much."
"okay. I know its hard and I've been here before. trust me when I say this, make sure Leonard knows you trust him. How much you care for him and you think your overreacting, but I don't think you are. You don't always have hold how and what you feel in, and Leonard should be the first person to know and he does know how you feel about this. He's probably overthinking himself silly, you know how he is." Bernadette said with a light laugh.
Penny nods with a smile. "That's true. Thanks Bernie. Thank you as well Ames." Penny said giving both girls a hug.
Leonard had been thinking about Penny and how to handle this whole mess he had with Pryia and Raj.
He though so hard about all this that he got himself a headache.
Howard come to him during the day and asked him what happened with him and Raj. Leonard vented to Howard about everything and told him how much this was affecting him. he told him how Pryia came in to his lab and wanted him to spend the night at her hotel room with her, how she called him and left a message asking him again, then the call from Raj.
"The worst part is how badly this is affecting Penny and I. She's really insecure that I will leave her and go to Pryia and be with her again. She is scared and worried. It's written in her eyes. It hurts to see her like this. I love her, Howard." Leonard said with a sad look in his eyes.
Howard felt bad for him and gave him some advise. "Len, bud. You need to relax. I will talk to Raj and tell him how this is effecting you and Penny. He wouldn't want to be apart of this stress in your relationship." Howard says. Knowing how Raj felt about Leonard and Penny getting back together.
Leonard nods. "Thanks. I just, you should see Penny. I know she is more upset about all this, and is hiding it from me. She didn't want me to come in to work today. She has never acted like this before." Leonard shook his head.
This was really upsetting him, Howard seeing this knew he had to help. Leonard was one of his best friends he was like a brother to him, and Penny was Bernadette's best friend, he wanted them to be happy.
"Leonard. Just make sure she knows you are in this relationship and want to be with her and only her. You love her and I know she loves you too, more then you probably know." Howard told him giving his friend a pat on the back.
Leonard was at his desk finishing up his work for the day.
It was ten after 11 when there was a light knock on his door and it opened to see Penny's head sticking through it. Seeing he was still up and awake, Penny entered the apartment and walked over to him. Dressed in her pajamas and light pink robe.
"Hey you." she greeted wrapping her arms around his shoulders from behind and rested her chin on top of his head.
Leonard reached his arm up and rubbed her side. "Hi Lovebug." He said back.
"Shelly sleeping?" She asked looking over to see Leonard's roommate not at his desk. "Oh yea. For almost an hour. it's been quiet that's how I know." He said with an eye roll, Penny giggled.
"You have a good girls night?" He asked looking up to her with a smile. Penny smiled back and leaned down to give him a quick kiss. Penny moved so she was sitting in his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck. Leonard wrapped his around her waist.
"Ya it was good. I told them about the Pryia thing and what happened, and they gave me some advise." She told him shyly. Leonard smiled at her, he thought she looked so cute. "I told Howard about it too. He's going to talk to Raj." Leonard told her.
Penny looked into his eyes and smiled at him. "you did?" She asked softly. "ya. It really helped. I was so worked up about all this and had to vent to someone." Leonard said with a shrug.
"Amy said she though I was being to overprotective and Bernadette said I wasn't being too over reactive, which is good because I though I was. Plus the drinking calmed me down a little." Penny said with a smirk as she finished her sentence. Leonard chuckled and placed a kiss on her cheek.
"What do you think? I'm I being too much?" She asked him looking in his eyes to see if was telling her the truth. "Sweetheart, no. Look I am not happy with this either and if rolls were switched and your ex wanted you to sleep with him, I would be upset more then you are. I get it, I really do." Leonard tells her looking right in her eyes.
Penny smiled and nods. "okay. I was just checking. You done working yet?" She asked.
Leonard nodded his head. "Yes. I was just about to save this and head to bed." he said looking at her.
"Good. Ill wait for you in your room." She said giving him a soft kiss. "Alright." he nodded back. "Hurry up, baby. You're not going to want to miss any of this." She gave him a wink and shook her hips as she walked down to his bedroom. Leonard gulped and turned off his laptop before running up to check her.
