The following week went by in a flash. Penny was busy getting into school work and writing papers and Sheldon was writing a paper on the Higgs Boson that was sure to revolutionize humanity's understanding of the particle.
They saw each other briefly on Tuesday night at the Cheesecake Factory and they watched The Fifth Element together on Thursday night at his place. Sheldon made a comment that he was like Leeloo, being a supreme being, who was humanities only hope and she was like Korban Dallas, being a crass, yet loveable rebel.
Sunday was finally Penny's day off and she wanted to make the most of it by staying in bed all day. She felt a little exhausted and didn't want to even have to think about getting up. She rolled around in bed for a half hour before her body decided it was time to get up.
She threw her robe on over her shorts and tank top and went into the kitchen to make some coffee. The unmistakable scent filled the room and she started to feel a bit better. She poured herself a cup and held the mug in her hands trying to absorb the warmth it provided.
The silence was broken when Sheldon knocked on her door. She walked toward it with her coffee in hand. She quickly opened the door to see him standing with his hands behind his back in his black Reddit alien t-shirt and white thermal. He looked at her and then looked at his watch.
"Penny, why are you not ready? I told you that I would be here to pick you up at ten." He said slightly disappointed. She had completely forgotten that he had an entire day planned for them. She took his hand and led him inside. He sat down on her couch and turned on her television.
"You have… twenty-six and a half minutes to get presentable. I will not have your tardiness cut into the activities that I planned." He stated. She sighed and knew she could get ready in less.
She didn't bother with a shower, she threw her hair up into a messy pony and washed her face. After her lashes were curled and power was dusted across her t-zone, she slipped out of her sleepwear and changed into a pair of cutoffs and an orange t-shirt. As she was walking out of her bedroom, she swiped on some lip gloss and headed toward the door. Sheldon caught her movements out of his peripherals and again looked at his watch.
"Not bad, Penny. Nine minutes and forty-seven seconds!" He congratulated her. He got up off of the couch and they made their way downstairs, into the parking lot toward her car.
"Is your check engine light still on?" He asked as they walked across the pavement.
"Yes, Sheldon. It's still on. I'm just going to wait for the light to burn out. That way, the next time you ask I can say no." She said in a slightly annoyed tone.
"You know that they make tools for common laymen to assist in finding solutions to their diagnostic problems." He said. She looked up at him through her sunglasses and sighed.
"Well, isn't that nice? Luckily for me, I have one in my back pocket!" She said sarcastically. She didn't want to take her car in because it would cost too much and they would just take advantage of her. Her car hasn't blown up yet, so they should be fine.
"Please, it wouldn't fit into your shorts." Sheldon said slightly amused. "Penny, luck is hokum. But, luckily for you, I happened to borrow Leonard's On-Board Diagnostic meter. We are going to take care of that light right now." He finished as he pulled the device out of his bag.
He had read enough about the procedure to know what he was doing and he memorized all of the codes and their meanings. He opened her driver's side door and plugged the meter into a socket that was just under her steering wheel near the brake pedal. He turned the car over and waited. The code told him that her gas cap didn't fit right or was loose.
He unplugged the meter and put it back in his bag. He was so relieved. All this time, he thought her car was going to be the death of him by combusting and consuming their trapped bodies. He turned off her car and got out.
"Your gas cap is either loose or ill-fitting. So now that your issue has been diagnosed, you can work toward a solution." He said. She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck as he leaned his back against the side of her car. After all of that time she was dating Leonard, he had something that could help her and he never even bothered. Sheldon didn't even drive and he was more helpful.
"Do you feel more safe?" She asked. He smiled at her and gave her a quick chaste kiss.
"My safety is less of a concern, as you drive this car nearly every day. I just wanted to ensure your safety was maximized. Also, you should have asked if I feel safer, rather than if I feel-." He said. She pressed her lips to his; she couldn't care less about grammar at that moment.
They made out against her car for a few more minutes before he gently pushed her away. He moved around the car and got into the passenger seat. She reluctantly got into the driver's seat.
They drove to the Del Mar train station and had lunch at La Grande Orange Café. He ordered the Signature burger with everything on the side with lemonade to drink and she ordered the chicken spinach salad and a water. Sheldon told her about the history of light rail trains as they ate.
Afterward, Sheldon and Penny drove to the Arboretum Botanical Gardens. As they walked hand in hand through the gardens they chatted.
"My favorite flowers are carnations." She told him. "People say they are filler flowers, but I just think they are awesome." She confessed. Sheldon logged her preference for flowers into his brain. He didn't understand the social convention of giving flowers, but for Penny he would set his aversion aside.
"The genus name for carnations is formed from the Greek words Dios, meaning divine and Anthos, meaning flower." He rambled off. "They are also the state flower of Ohio." She smiled at him and rested her head on his upper arm as they walked. She loved his big beautiful brain.
"Carnations are also my MeeMaw's favorite flower. She especially loves the dark pink ones with white running through them." He said wistfully.
"Do you miss your MeeMaw?" Penny asked. She loved when he talked about her. It was one of the reasons she knew he wasn't some robot man not capable of love.
"I miss her every day, Penny." He said sincerely. They continued their walk in a comfortable silence as they took in the beauty of the garden's grounds.
oOoOoOoOoOo
After their afternoon together, Penny found herself exchanging spaghetti and hot dogs for tutoring in her music class. They were listening to the forth movement of Vivaldi's Four Seasons on her laptop and Sheldon was trying to deconstruct the piece for her. She quickly interrupted him.
"So Baroque was a guy right?" Penny asked in confusion. Sheldon stopped his small hand movements that were going in time with the rhythm. He looked over at her and shook his head.
" No, Penny. Baroque is a musical period ranging from 1600 to 1780. There were many guys or composers that composed music during that time. Baroque music expanded the size, range, and complexity of instrumental performance, and also established opera as a musical genre." Sheldon stated. Her brain couldn't process what he was saying.
She flopped backward on the couch. He was being so patient with her. It was much different than when he tried to teach her physics. For one, she wasn't trying to impress someone else; she wasn't doing it to feign interest in someone else; she was doing it for her.
Her legs moved from the floor to resting across Sheldon's lap. He no longer flinched or stiffened at her touch. His hands rubbed along her calf giving her a gentle massage. Her legs were smooth and soft. He looked into her face and could see frustration in her eyes.
His hand moved up her calf and rested on her thigh. She met his gaze and half-heartedly smiled at him. She grasped his hand and pulled him closer to her.
"Let's take a break." She said with a suggestive smirk. He gently kissed her on the lips and pressed his forehead against hers.
"I'll tell you what," He said lifting his head away from hers. "Let's make this into a game. I'm going to ask you a series of ten questions relating to your course material. For every question you get right you will get two points and for every ten points you collect, you can cash in a sexual favor." He said in a slightly excited tone. She opened her mouth to speak and she tried to remember everything that she had learned in the past two weeks.
"Do you understand the rules, Penny?" Sheldon asked. Perhaps he could use the possibility of sexual acts as a motivational tool to help her study. He gave her a quick smirk. She quickly nodded.
"I have a question, can I bundle up my points to get bigger prizes?" She asked. He considered this for a moment. Perhaps he could let her keep a running tab of study points that she accumulated. He quickly shook his head.
"I don't think that we can talk about the redemption of your possible points until you have accumulated them. Perhaps this will be a dual lesson about getting yourself into credit card debt." He pointed out. She stuck out her tongue at his playful jab.
"Whatever, Moonpie. Let's play." She said confidently.
He proceeded to question her about her study material and she was doing quite well. She collected a total of ten points, but also got the other half of the question series wrong. She didn't care; she had ten points. Sheldon moved her legs, got up and moved to the kitchen to grab a diet coke.
"So what will ten points get me?" She asked coyly. He returned with a diet coke for her as well. He thought about it for a moment and his mouth quirked up.
"We will model the point redemption system after the baseball system of sexual endeavors. So ten points will get you to first base, twenty-six points will get you to second base and forty points will get you to third." He said with a grin.
"If you redeem your points now, you can engage me in an open mouthed kiss, tongue optional with light touching over the clothes." He concluded, happy with the study system he had developed for her. She frowned a bit, because they had gone further than that before.
"Does this mean we aren't going to do stuff together until I study enough?" She asked slightly defeated. She didn't like this game anymore.
"Penny, come now. If you study with me in your free time, you will accumulate all the points you could ever want. Besides, the rules state that you can use your points to engage me. I am not participating, so I can still engage you in sexual acts." He countered with a sly smile. She frowned again.
"How many points do I need for you to slide into home?" She asked, smiling at her euphemism. Sheldon hadn't considered that possibility. She would have to certainly work for it.
"One-hundred points." He concluded. Her mouth dropped open. How was she supposed to collect that many? She would have to commit the next two weeks to playing Sheldon's study game. She looked at her overly proud boyfriend and decided he would be worth the investment.
