Penny zipped up her hooded sweater as she walked up the last flight of stairs. Her hand hovered over the handle to the door that led to the roof. She noticed how clammy her palms were. She wasn't sure what to expect, and even though she could pretty much predict Sheldon's behavior, she felt nervous. She grasped the handle and inhaled slowly and evenly.
She opened the door and stepped out onto the roof. There were white strings of lights put up and she saw Sheldon tinkering with his telescope. He looked up as she walked toward him. She stood by his side and grasped his hand in hers.
"Hi." She said looking up at him. He squeezed her fingers lightly and smiled at her. He was wearing a heavy zip up hoodie instead of his flimsy windbreaker.
"Hi." He replied. He led her to a couple of camping chairs that he had set out for them. She sat down and he offered her a blanket to snuggle up in. He sat down beside her and laced his fingers into hers underneath the blanket. She smiled as she looked over at him. She loved it when he shared his interests with her.
"Penny, do you know the story of Andromeda?" He asked. She shook her head. He smiled and pointed up to the sky. She looked up and was overwhelmed by the amount of stars in the sky. It was surprisingly clear for the amount of light pollution Pasadena gave off.
"Right there is Cassiopeia and just below that constellation lies the Andromeda Galaxy. It's roughly 2.6 million light years away from earth and if you are looking at it when it's a moonless night, you can see it with the naked eye." He said. She squinted and tried to find where he was pointing, it was easy to get lost in the vastness of space, even from a fixed location on Earth. Sheldon cleared his throat and continued.
"Andromeda's mother Cassiopeia, boasted that her daughter was more beautiful than the daughters of the sea god Nereus. Cassiopeia was punished for her arrogance by Poseidon and her daughter was sacrificed to a sea monster. However, she was saved by Perseus, her future husband." Sheldon finished as he looked over at Penny who was giving him a perturbed look. He stood up and led Penny over to his telescope. She was afraid to touch it because it looked expensive and she didn't want to break it.
"If you look, you can see the Andromeda Galaxy. It's not as clear as I want it to be, and it would be better to view it next month. But that's neither here nor there." He said as he motioned for her to look into the telescope.
Penny looked through the viewing piece and she let out a small gasp. She could see the distinctive spiral around the bright center. Though it appeared no bigger than her thumbnail, she could truly appreciate its greatness.
She looked at Sheldon who had a big smile on his face. He moved to look through the telescope and he began to re-position it. He would look up at the sky and back into his telescope only to move it a few inches.
"So, what are stars made of?" Penny curiously asked as she stuffed her hands into her pockets and looked up at the sky. She never really did pay attention in junior high science class. Sheldon looked up at her and quickly smiled before going back to finding whatever it was he was looking for.
"Good question!" He said as he searched. He locked his telescope in place and turned his attention toward her. Her heart was beating fast and her palms were sweaty. Why was she so nervous?
"Stars are very dense, very hot balls of gas. They are mostly composed of hydrogen gas. The closest start to us is our own sun, and Proxima Centauri is the next closest star." Sheldon said without any condescension or smugness coloring his voice. Penny smiled and another question popped into her head.
"What is space?" She cheekily asked. She knew space was nothing, it was pretty much like air. Sheldon smiled and took her hands into his. He kissed her on the forehead and looked into her face.
"Penny, do you remember when I asked you what physics was?" he asked. She nodded. The only thing she took away from that lesson was that ma=mg. And she didn't even know what that meant. She also learned that Fig Newtons were not named after the scientist.
"For me to explain what space is, you should have a basic understanding of physics. However, the way I view space is kind of like a piece of fabric that is being stretched across the universe. It can be stretched or slack, it can be twisted and bunched and it is the basis of everything. If we took away all of the planets and stars and galaxies from the universe, we would be left with space." He said in a cool tone.
She nodded her head, she was impressed that he could actually explain something as elaborate as space in such simple terms. He led her back to the telescope and gave her a soft kiss on the lips.
"I want to show you something else." He quickly said as she gazed into his deep blue eyes. They were full of excitement and they sparkled in the night.
"I'm going to show you the Orion Nebula. Now, this nebula is much closer to us than the Andromeda Galaxy. It is approximately twenty light years away from earth. In the Orion Nebula, new stars are constantly forming and there are many different star classes in the nebula." He continued as Penny looked into the telescope.
Her stomach fluttered and her heart skipped a beat. It was the most amazing thing she had ever seen. It was like looking at the Aurora Borealis, but trillions of miles away. She could see the strong center bursting with rich hues of purples, encased by a light blue almost white looking smoke. The sight of something so spectacular took her breath away. She stepped back and put her hand against her chest. She could feel her heart racing.
She looked at Sheldon who was waiting nervously for her reaction. She grasped his hand and held it tightly as she looked at it again. Her eyes welled up with tears. Her emotions had gotten the best of her. She couldn't believe he was sharing this part of his life with her.
"Sheldon, that's amazing! I've never seen anything like it ever before in my life! Thank you for showing me that, Sweetie." She said as she wrapped her arms around him. He hugged her tightly and rested his chin on her head.
"Penny, your reaction to seeing the Orion Nebula is exactly how I feel about you." He said pulling away from her. His face grew more serious, but his expression was still soft. She smiled and wiped at her eyes with the sleeves of her sweater.
"I couldn't have articulated it better myself. You're amazing. I've never met anyone like you ever before in my life. Thank you for showing me what life can truly amount to. I want to spend the rest of my life feeling like I've seen the Orion Nebula for the first time. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, Penelope." He said while wringing his nervous hands together.
She cupped his face in her hands and kissed him sweetly. He wrapped his arms around her and held her close. Their tongues met and they gently caressed each other. She felt the same excited nervousness in the pit of her stomach as when they first kissed.
If someone told her half a year ago that she would be kissing the love of her life on the roof top of the apartment they shared and that the love of her life would be Sheldon Cooper, she would have laughed in their face.
She pulled away and searched his eyes. They didn't tell her anything besides he was hopelessly in love with her. His mouth twitched up into a smile and his eyes got even brighter. She nervously bit her lip and looked down.
"Sheldon, are you asking me to marry you?" She said with uncertainty. Her eyes found their way back to his as he reached into his pocket. His heart rate accelerated as he grasped the ring in his hand. He slowly exhaled as he knelt in front of her. He looked up into Penny's eyes. Her right hand covered her mouth and he took her left hand in his.
"Yes, I am. Penelope Sophia Marie Beeckman, will you marry me?" He asked while offering his grandmother's ring to her. Tears stung Penny's eyes as she nodded her head.
"Yes." she whispered as Sheldon slipped the ring on her finger and stood up. She wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tightly. She held up her hand and admired her new piece of jewelry while he returned her hug.
He pulled away from her embrace and looked into her face. She smiled and quickly kissed his lips. The ring sparkled on her finger, and she quietly admired it. She grinned at her new fiancé and he held her hands. She couldn't believe she was engaged, to Sheldon Cooper no less.
"I love you, Sheldon." She said while cupping his cheek. He pulled her in close and softly kissed her. His fingers twisted into her hair as she explored his mouth with her tongue. Kissing Penny became second nature to him. He would move his lips in perfect synchronicity with hers and he knew just how to entice certain feelings and reactions from her.
Her hands moved down his back and she slid them up into his shirts. Sheldon gasped into her mouth as her cold finger tips traced up his back. His pants began to restrict and feel tight in the crotch. Penny felt him pressing against her stomach. She smiled into their sexy kiss and nibbled on his bottom lip. Her arms wrapped around his neck and she slowly kissed up the pulse in his throat.
"Let's go downstairs, I'm getting cold." She breathily whispered into his ear. His erection lurched against the confines of his Chinos and his head swam. He nodded as she sucked on his earlobe. She released him from her vixen charms and grabbed the camping chairs. He watched her as she moved toward the door and disappeared through it.
He closed his eyes and took in a deep breath. His lips felt swollen and his tongue darted out to moisten them. He needed to quench the thirst that was Penny. He rushed to pack up his telescope and he stowed it carefully away in its large case. He replayed everything that just happened in his head, he couldn't believe that she said yes.
He looked up at the night sky and smiled, the universe worked in mysterious ways and Penny would have said it was fate. Sheldon didn't believe in fate, but he believed in Penny.
He carried his telescope down the stairwell to their apartment. He walked in and noticed that Penny wasn't in the living room or kitchen. He set his telescope down and walked toward the bedroom.
His heart pounded in his ears and his stomach was twisted in knots. Why did he feel so nervous? He placed his hand on the bedroom's door handle and exhaled slowly and evenly.
