Cht. 2
Sheldon Cooper skipped up the last step to his apartment, knowing that Penny would be right behind him. As soon as she dropped off her laundry in her apartment, she was coming over for an evening of Star Trek and Thai food. Maybe she would even let him beat the pants off her at three-dimensional chess…but he did not want to press his luck.
Sheldon was amused and relieved at how their conversation had gone in the laundry room. He found out that they were still friends despite their now broken circle, and best of all, he did not have to lie to the guys about what she was doing. She never actually came out and said what she was doing; he merely inferred her meaning from what she said about not wanting the guys to mollycoddle her about furthering her education. He still needed Penny around to serve his Barbecue Bacon cheeseburger though, so that would take some finagling. How best to do it though?
When Penny came through the door with an armload of books and papers, Sheldon started.
“What’s all this nonsense?” he queried.
“I still have to study,” Penny replied. Her wine buzz had long since worn off, so why not take advantage of the brilliant brain of Sheldon Cooper and put him to work helping her with homework, she figured.
What was this nutty female up to now, he wondered. No way on this green earth would he do someone’s homework for her. Not even Penny.
“What are you studying?” Sheldon asked suspiciously.
“I have an intro to Physics paper to write, a crapload of remedial math problems, and a couple of chapters from Lysistrata,” she replied. “Did you order already?”
“As a matter of fact, I did. Chicken satay for you, Mi Krob for myself, and a side order of dumplings for the two of us. It works out perfectly. Two dumplings apiece!”
“Great! What do I owe you?”
Sheldon’s eyebrows arched into his hairline. “Twelve bucks, or should I start you a tab?”
Sheldon snuffled his same old laugh and Penny narrowed her eyes before pulling a folded twenty from her cleavage and flicking it at him. Reflexively, Sheldon grabbed for it before realizing where it had been and the promptly dropped it. He flushed and wiped his hands on his pants, fingers tingling from the thought of the still warm bill concealed in the swell of her bosom.
Penny tried not to choke on her mouthful of chicken as she laughed. Sheldon was looking dangerously close to a meltdown, so she swallowed quickly and patted the arm of the sofa next to him.
“Chill out, Sheldon, that’s laundered money,” she smiled. “It’s clean.”
“In what way is it laundered?” he asked, nearly climbing over the back of the couch to get away from the bill that still lay on the floor. “You mean like some mobster movie where the money is filtered through a legitimate business interest?”
“NO,” she laughed. Oh how she had missed this! “I mean I accidentally washed it with my clothes.”
“Oh.” Sheldon readjusted himself in his seat, settling in again and picking the bill up off the floor. He placed it on the end table while Penny placed the lid on her leftovers and pulled out a textbook.
“What are you doing?” Sheldon asked as he started clearing the coffee table.
“I have to do like eight more problems before this is done. I need to get it finished if I’m going to at least finish my English lit homework and get the last two pages of my paper written before tomorrow.”
“But Penny, tomorrow’s Sunday!”
“I know, but I have to work another double shift tomorrow and all of this is due by Monday,” her fingers vised on the pencil in her hand as she spoke, snapping it in half. She sighed, closed her eyes for a moment, and then tossed the pencil pieces into the trash bag Sheldon had sitting by the coffee table. Picking up another pencil beside her books, Penny opened the math book to a page marked with a folded piece of paper.
Sheldon was no expert at human interaction, but if he had to place the emotion, he would say that Penny seemed stressed. She had started what he considered her avoidance of them three weeks or so after she and Leonard split up, so if her assertion was true she had been taking these classes for approximately three months.
“Penny,” Sheldon said slowly, “are you coming up on exams soon?”
“Ugh! Don’t remind me,” was her terse reply as she hastily scribbled an answer, her messy bun bobbing as she wrote. Sheldon watched her silently for a moment.
“How are you paying for your classes right now?”
“If I only take a few classes at a time, I can pay it myself with LOTS of double shifts at the Factory.”
“Have you considered using financial aid and taking more classes?”
“Oh sweetie, I’d love to take more classes, but I have to eat too, pay bills, rent… Hard to write a paper with no electricity, ya know?”
“If you lived here, you could split rent with me. It would save you approximately a hundred-fifty dollars a month and if you count the internet, phone and cable bundle, you could save another ninety dollars by splitting it with me. ”
Penny’s eyes lost their focus as she considered what she could do saving over two-hundred extra dollars a month. Would he actually let her live here?
“Sheldon…wouldn’t I have to pass one of your whacky tests or something?”
“Oh Penny, you know you’d never pass that. You’re not a scientist by any means,” he said, waving her off. “But you are familiar with my schedule and it would greatly benefit me if your schedule more accurately reflected mine.”
“In fact,” he said, inspired. “If you were to transfer to Caltech and get a work study job there through financial aid you could easily pay your bills and drive me to and from work every day.”
She knew there had to be a catch. “Wow, so what would be in it for you?” she said dryly.
“Well, of course I would have a ride and a roommate, which would allow--,” Sheldon cut himself off thoughtfully, then turned back to her. “Sarcasm?”
“Ya think?”
