Winter was soon replaced by spring, the warmish weather that was present in January, got even warmer as the months passed. Penny had been living with Sheldon for three and a half months. Shortly after Penny moved in, Leonard moved out. It was bizarre to be sharing a living space with a female, as Sheldon hadn't done so since he lived with his family in Texas. Penny had replaced some things in the living room with her own stuff, like the colorful pillows on her sofa now adorned the brown leather couch, a few of her collectable My Little Pony's sat amongst Sheldon's action figures and a few other knick knacks filled the holes that Leonard left open when he moved out.
Penny used to drive Sheldon to work, but found that it would be easier if he could just drive himself. Penny had convinced Sheldon to get his license, much to his opposition, and buy his own car. After driving for a couple months to and from work by himself, Sheldon couldn't fathom why he hadn't done it sooner. Oh right, he was terrified of dying in a fiery car accident.
It had been two and a half months since the scientists at CERN proved Sheldon's hypothesis using the Large Hardon Collider in Switzerland. Sheldon Lee Cooper had proved the existence the Higgs Boson particle with his theory. He was still getting used to being a big player in the science community and being referred to as the guy who had single handedly changed the face of physics with his discovery. Two weeks prior, he took a sabbatical from work to take some time to attend interviews and publish his findings in multiple physics journals. Sheldon had been working on his paper to explain his findings in the morning, and when his eyes got tired, and his brain seemed to be depleted of all its genius, he decided to clean his apartment. Maybe the sabbatical wasn't such a good idea.
As Sheldon scrubbed at the baseboards in the bathroom with a tooth brush, he heard the front door unlock and a set of keys drop into the bowl by the door. He quickly stood up, tossed his latex gloves into the trashcan and walked out into the living room. Penny had just come home from her meeting with her agent, she was carrying a paper bag full of groceries and sifting through the mail in her hand. He watched her as she placed the grocery bag on the kitchen island and placed all but one piece of mail beside the brown paper bag.
"Hey, Bubsy. This came for you." She said as she extended the envelope toward him. Sheldon scowled at her pet name for him. She called him 'Baby' for about a week when she first moved in before Sheldon told her to stop, then it changed to 'BehBay', and he detested that even more, so when she started calling him 'Bubsy', he let it go. He knew it wouldn't stop until it evolved into something utterly ridiculous. Sheldon grabbed the envelope from Penny's grasp and looked it over. His eyes widened as he realized where it was from. Panic flooded his every sense. His hands became clammy and his heart pounded against his ribs. Sheldon had patiently waited well over a decade for this letter and it was finally in his grasp. His gaze shot up from the crisp white paper to Penny's bright emerald eyes.
"Penny, do you know what this is?" Sheldon exclaimed as his eyes wildly darted across her face. His hands started to shake and he felt light headed. He needed to sit down. He pulled out a barstool from the kitchen island and clumsily sat down. Sheldon was having trouble controlling his breathing, Penny quickly realized that he was hyperventilating, so she grabbed him a small paper bag from a Tupperware container in the cupboard labelled 'Hyperventilation Bags'. Sheldon took the bag from her and started breathing into it. After a few minutes of breathing into the bag, Sheldon started to feel better.
"Penny, this letter has been the focus of my existence on this tiny speck of dust floating around in the cosmos for a very long time. I need you to open it for me." Sheldon said, handing the envelope back to her. Penny obeyed his command and grabbed the envelope from him. Sheldon watched as she tore open the side of the envelope and removed the letter from the paper in which it was contained. He closed his eyes, he couldn't believe that this was truly happening to him.
"Doctor Sheldon Cooper, The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences is pleased to announce that you have been selected as the Laureate for the Nobel Prize for Physics. The award ceremony will be held in Stockholm, Sweden in December. We will provide you with an updated itinerary as it becomes available. Congratulations on your great achievement." Penny finished as she looked up from the letter.
Sheldon's face was streaked with tears, he had always imagined that when he was going to read that letter, he would have read it alone. The thought that no one would be there to share in his success made him feel sick to his stomach. He was thankful to have heard those words come from the woman he treasured most. The realization hit him that he treasured her more than any prestigious prize, including the one he had spent most of his life trying to obtain. Penny pulled him into her embrace and he hugged her tightly. He felt slightly ridiculous for crying like a female experiencing symptoms of premenstrual syndrome, but he couldn't help it, finally, he was getting the recognition he deserved. Penny pulled away from their hug and wiped at his face, Sheldon inhaled deeply and exhaled even deeper. Penny had let a few tears escape her as well, so he returned her sweet gesture and wiped them away from her cheeks.
"Sheldon, I'm so proud of you. You know that right?" Penny softly asked. Sheldon nodded his head.
"I do." He replied. Sheldon really did know. Even though he was no expert at decoding emotions and facial expressions, he could see it prominently displayed across her face. Pride. Joy overwhelmed him and he let out an involuntary throaty chuckle. He was still in shock. Penny grinned at him and pressed her lips against his. Sheldon quickly stood up from the stool, and picked Penny up in the process. Their lips were still firmly pressed against each other's as Sheldon gently set her down. The moment his lips left hers, he broke out into a huge grin.
"Penny, I love you so much." He told her through his grin.
"And I you, Sheldon." Penny cheekily replied.
oOoOoOoOoOo
Penny and Sheldon were driving through L.A. traffic in his Midnight Blue Volkswagon Tiguan. The July heat was sweltering and Penny had his A/C cranked full blast. As they came up toward a red light, Penny pointed at it, signaling for Sheldon to stop. At least she had stopped verbally telling him how to drive. Her black nail polish glinted in the corner of his eye. Without turning his attention toward her, he grasped her hand and held it in his as he rested their hands on the gear selector.
"I see the stop light, Penny. Please stop telling me how to drive." Sheldon droned. Every single stop light.
"I'm sorry. I'm just not used to being the passenger. Plus, I'm just a little on edge. It's a little nerve wracking thinking about the red carpet." He glanced over at her in time to witness her cheeks flush with a soft pink color. The premiere of Newt was set to start at eight o'clock, they had three hours to be on the red carpet.
"Penny, you have no reason to be nervous. You just have to calm down and try to increase your alpha wave activity." He smiled as he squeezed her fingers. Penny turned her gaze toward him. The expression on her face was vacant. Sheldon let out a sigh of exasperation.
"It's a biofeedback technique, it's relaxation though brain wave manipulation." Sheldon attempted to explain. The vacant expression remained on her face. She patted his hand, turning her focus to the buildings passing by.
"You'll be fine, Penny. You've been mentally preparing yourself for this moment for a long time." He softly reassured her. He caught her smirk out of the corner of his eye. They drove the rest of the way in silence. Soon, they pulled into the parking lot of the restaurant they were meeting their friends at. Penny had managed to get them really good seats for the movie and they all wanted to go out to celebrate beforehand. Sheldon turned the car off and got out. He stuffed the keys into his pants pocket and he opened Penny's door. Penny grasped the hand that he offered her as he assisted her out of his vehicle.
He took a moment to soak up the beauty that was Penny. She had her hair styled into a wispy up-do and a few pieces of her hair softly framed her face. The softness of her make up made her look angelic, but Sheldon knew there was a little devil hiding within her. Her dress was a soft champagne color and it was made out of a soft flowing chiffon fabric. It was strapless, softly emphasizing Penny's bust and the hem hit just above her knee, showcasing her long legs. Sheldon loved when she wore heels. Not only did they accentuate the curves of her calves and thighs, they also allowed her lips to be closer to his. He reveled in the fact that he could effortlessly kiss her.
Sheldon wore, at the request of Penny, his dark suit, a white dress shirt, and a black tie. After Penny told him that he couldn't wear a super hero t-shirt under his suit jacket, he snuck in a little bit of geek with his the Flash lightning bolt tie clip. Sheldon offered his lady the bend of his arm, she graciously took it as they walked into the restaurant together. They approached the hostess, who looked bored out of her mind.
"Hi. I have a reservation. It's under Davis." Penny told the girl at the front. Sheldon watched the hostess as she chomped on her gum like a Texas Longhorn. He scowled at the unprofessional nature of this young girl.
"Is that cud you're chewing, or do you suffer from Temporomandibular Joint Disorder, just in case you're wondering the latter makes your exceptionally distorted chewing slightly more acceptable." Sheldon rattled off. The girl closed her mouth and glared at him as she took them to their table. As she walked away from them Penny smacked him in the chest with the back of her hand.
"Sheldon, that was incredibly rude." She scolded. Sheldon pulled out her chair and she sat down. He sat down in the chair beside her and quietly continued the conversation.
"Rude? Penny, you of all people should know the level of professionalism I expect when I enter a restaurant." He said to her. Penny brushed him off, noticing the stares they were eliciting from their friends. Sheldon turned his attention to the table.
"Hello." He simply offered as he straightened his tie and picked up his menu.
"You look radiant, Bestie. Your alabaster skin shames all of the Goddesses in Zeus' kingdom." Amy said from across the table.
The group of friends chattered on about the film and many congratulations were offered to Penny on her success with this movie. Sheldon couldn't have felt more proud of her. She truly was an exceptional woman. For a split second, before he could even comprehend the thought, he had the desire to spend the rest of his life with her. Sheldon tried to engage in the conversations that were happening around him, but the thought took over his mind and distracted him. It's not like the distraction wasn't welcome, the more he thought about it, the more his logic started to make sense. Waiting for the right moment was going to suck.
