"Ugh Penny!" Leonard groaned.
"Oh would you stop it! No one will know." Penny said giving him a pleading look, the look at Leonard gave in at pretty much anything. Leonard sighed in defeat and nods his head. Penny did a little cheer knowing that she's won. Leonard rolled his eyes at her.
She picked up the nail polish she wanted and handed it over to her boyfriend.
Leonard made a face, that caused her to give him a pointed look. Leonard sighed as he took it and Penny put one of her feet in his lap and smiled with her tongue through her teeth. Leonard started to paint her toes the color she wanted.
Penny smiled and watched as he focused on what he was doing. Leonard was actually really good at nails and Penny had begged him countless times, which he always fought her on, but in the end she always won.
"You owe me." Leonard said after he painted the first toe.
Penny smiled. "Sure, anything you want baby." She said. Leonard looked up with a hopeful expression. "Anything?" He asked.
"That is what I said." She said then stuck out her tongue, playfully at him. "Cool." He said causing Penny to roll her eyes at him.
Leonard smiled and got back to what she had asked and wanted him to do.
Leonard had come over that night so the two of the them could hang out. They got some take out and sitting at Penny's table by the window. Now having finished dinner, Penny has asked him to do her nail for her, leading them to where they are now. Even though he hated what he was doing, it would always beat having to be with Sheldon and do what he wanted to that night.
"What are you doing tomorrow?" Penny asked him.
Leonard looked up from his task to her. He saw she was smiling and this causes him to smile right back.
"Well there is work, then nothing really." He answered with a shrug.
"Can you come shopping with me?" She asked, with a small smile.
Leonard looked up at her. Penny had never asked him if he ever wanted to go shopping with her, she just asked if they could go shopping that day. This seemed odd, so Leonard could only give her a positive answer.
"Ya sure, honey." He gave her a nod. Penny smiled brightly at this. "Yay! You're the best!" She exclaimed and clapped her hands.
Leonard had to let out a small chuckle at her.
"So are you excited for next week?" Leonard asked her switching feet. "Yes I am. I'm also a little nervous though." She admitted.
"You'll do great, Penny. I'm so proud and excited for you." Leonard said looking up and looking into those big green eyes. Penny's heart melted, she was so lucky to have such a sweet and supportive boyfriend.
"But I have to tell you, painting nails and shopping you owe me big." Leonard said, Penny rolled her eyes but nods in agreement. Waiting to see what he had in mind for her.
Leonard had texted Penny once both he and Sheldon were home from work. Instead of replying Penny had just come over. "Hey guys!" She greeted with a smile.
Sheldon gave her a nod and Leonard gave her that famous smile, he stood in the kitchen.
"You ready, honey?" Penny asked walking over to him wrapping him in a hug. As much as Leonard was regretting to be going shopping with her, he loved spending time with her.
"Sure. Whenever you are ready, we will go." He told her. "Okay good. Let me just go get my purse." She said giving him a kiss on the cheek, before quickly making her way out of the apartment and to hers.
Leonard meet her in the hallway and together they walked down the stairs and made their way to his car. "
So were to?" He asked. "The mall, silly." Penny said. Leonard nods.
Penny reaches over to turn the radio on and starts singing to the song. Leonard smiled at her, she could be so cute. Penny looked over to her boyfriend and saw the smile on his face. She placed her hand on his shoulder and rubbed it to get his attention.
"Hmm?" He hummed and looked over to her quickly before looking back to the road. "What are smiling at?" She asked.
"You." He said with a shrug. Penny smiled at this and moved her hand to his neck and her fingers started to play with his curls at the back of his head. A couple minutes later they pulled into a parking spot and got out of the car.
The first store Penny had lead him to was a GameStop. Leonard was confused by this and looked at her.
Penny smiled up and him and wrapped her arms around his arm. "can you help me pick out a videogame for my nephew?" She asked.
Leonard nods and places a kiss on her forehead. "Sure." He said. After a couple minutes of being in the store. "Is it your nephews birthday?" he asked her. Penny turned to him. "He got a sports award in my home town, and since i'm not there, I thought I would get him a little something." Penny said.
Leonard couldn't believe what a sweet person Penny was. He always knew Penny came from a close loving family, but this was just so sweet.
"That's really sweet of you." He told her. Penny just looked at him and shrugged as if it was nothing.
It was so sad that Leonard didn't have a clue what family was all about and that doing this for your brothers son was normal. She knew when the day came that Leonard would the most wonderful father because of his childhood and the way he was brought up.
Both looking around the store Leonard turned to her. "Honey how old is your nephew?" He asked her.
Penny looked to him. "He's 17." Leonard nods taking it in. "okay. How about this one." Leonard said picking up a videogame.
Penny walked over to him, standing behind him and rested her chin on his shoulder as she looked at what he was holding. She smiled, having a genius nerd as your boyfriend sure had perks.
"That's perfect! Thank you." She excitedly said, grabbing the game and taking his hand as she lead them up to the cash register.
Leonard took the bag for Penny and Penny took his free in hers, lacing their fingers together. "So were to now?" He asked her.
Penny smiled up at him. "I need a couple new sundresses." She told him. Leonard just nodded, what he usually did when Penny talked about clothes, shoes, and makeup.
They walked a little more when they came to a store Penny wanted to into. She pulled him in and Leonard just let her lead him in.
Leonard loved to watch Penny shop. She would have the cutest look on her face when she found a pair of shoes she liked or shirt she though was cute. She looked like a little kid on Christmas morning whenever she shopped.
Penny held up a dress and faced him. "What do you think of this?" She asked him, snapping him out of his thoughts.
The dress was a dark red, thin strapped. It was a pretty dress, he smiled at her. "Its nice." He nods.
Penny bit her lip as she looked at it again. "Red is my color." She said, putting it on her arm, and continued to look through the dresses.
"Want me to hold that for you?" Leonard asked, being the gentleman he was. Penny smiled at him. "Ah aren't you the perfect gentleman." She said handing him the dress. Leonard smirked to himself.
He ended up holding six dresses and fallowing Penny to the dressing rooms. Penny modeled each one for him and asked him, his opinion on the dress. She ended up getting three, including the red one. The other two were a white and black that was strapless and a dark purple short dress that had a cross tie for straps.
Leonard liked each one on her, just like everything Penny wore. It had always amazed him how Penny could look so beautiful and sexy in a fancy dress and look just as hot in a pair of sweats.
Leonard held that bag for her as well. This time Penny wrapped an arm around his waist and the other arm clung around his arm. "You want to stop somewhere and get something to eat? Howard is picking up the food tonight anyway, so I don't have to bring Sheldon his food." Leonard asked her.
Penny looked up at him, placing a soft kiss on his chin she answered. "That sounds great, baby." Together they made their way out of the mall.
The couple found themselves sat at a table for two in back of the restaurant.
Leonard was focused on the menu as Penny found herself unable to look away from him. She was so happy and it was mostly all because of him, yes she was happy about the acting job, but the pure happiness she found there every day as she woke up in the morning and all the way until she went to bed, was because of this amazing, smart, and extremely cute man.
Leonard felt her eyes on him and looked up from the menu to her, giving her a small smile. Penny saw this smile and gave him the smile she saved for him.
"What's up?" Leonard asked her.
Penny shrugged her shoulders. Leonard nods.
"so what are thinking about getting?" He asked her, knowing she hasn't even looked at the menu.
"Uh I don't know yet. Do you?" She said, finally looking through the menu.
"Ya. One of the pasta dishes." He said. Penny nodded biting her lip as she looked through the menu. "Which one?" She asked, looking up at him.
"The grilled chicken one."
"Oh that does look good." Penny nods. "I think I'm going to get the fish with steamed veggies." Penny said nodding her head as if she was agreeing with herself.
Leonard smiled. "Sounds good too."
"It does." She paused, looking at him. "So, how was your day?" She asked.
Leonard was interrupted by the waitress who brought them their drinks, two waters and Penny's glass of red wine. "You two ready to order?" Leonard nods and looks to Penny. Penny orders her meal and Leonard his. "Thanks guys! Your meals will be ready soon." She smiled and walked away.
"you're a better waitress." He said looking to the one that just walked away.
Penny frowned. "Huh?" She asked. "You are just more friendly. You're a people person, it just comes more natural to you." Leonard told her with a shrug.
Penny smiled. "Okay. I wont argue with that." She said with a hint of a giggle.
"So back to before. How was your day?"
"It was okay. Sheldon was a pain on the ride to work, like always. I was frustrated with myself all day because I couldn't figure out the problem part of my experiment I'm working on. But all in all, my day was okay." He said.
"Oh, I'm sure you'll figure out the problem thingy tomorrow." Penny said.
"I don't know." he shrugged unsure of himself.
Penny frowned, reaching over the table to take hold of his hand. "Honey don't doubt yourself. You are Leonard Hofstadter. You're my little genius, you will get it." Again Leonard was stuck in a place where he could not argue or even come up with one.
