Soft morning light filtered into Sheldon's room through his curtains. He groggily shifted on his mattress, stretching out as he stirred awake. His hand ran across the mattress in search of his overnight guest. She wasn't there, the soft blue sheets were cold and empty. Her flowery scent lingered on the pillow that she had occupied. Though Sheldon knew it was time to get up and that he had to go to work, he couldn't help but wish for five more minutes in bed with her. Sheldon rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and grasped his phone right before the alarm went off. He quickly turned it off and set his phone back down on the night stand.
The faint smell of coffee invaded his senses and he smiled to himself, she was still in the apartment. He sat up in bed and swung his legs off the bed. The floor was cold against the soles of his feet as he quickly pushed himself up off his bed to begin his morning routine. Sheldon quickly made his way out of his bedroom and grabbed a towel from the linen closet in the hallway. His Vulcan hearing picked up on some talking going on in the kitchen and he quietly stood in the hallway and listened.
"So you and Sheldon?" Leonard skeptically asked. Sheldon furrowed his brow. He didn't understand Leonard's piqued interest in their… whatever this was. He quietly moved closer to the corner to eavesdrop on their conversation.
"Yeah. Me and Sheldon." Penny answered. Her voice was colored with irritation. Sheldon smirked as he leaned against the wall.
"So was he the guy you were seeing behind my back?" Leonard snidely shot as he grasped a mug from the cupboard. Sheldon gritted his teeth together to keep his temper under wraps.
"Seriously? You're still beating that dead horse?!" Penny angrily retorted.
"Yeah, yeah I guess I am. What does he have that I don't? What did he give you that I couldn't?" Leonard quickly interjected. Penny snorted in defence.
"For a guy who is supposed to be a genius, you really are clueless. I NEVER cheated on you, Leonard." Penny defended as she raised her voice.
Sheldon felt his heart rate elevate and his palms begin to sweat. He didn't like confrontation, and he wanted to get his morning started. He took in a deep breath and began walking toward the kitchen. Penny was wearing her cute pink robe and had her hair up in a messy ponytail. Leonard was wearing his red robe and a prominent scowl on his face. Sheldon swallowed at the lump that had quickly formed in his throat as the duo snapped their attention toward him. Sheldon gripped at the dark blue towel he held in his hands and tried to mentally prepare to defuse the situation that he had walked into. His gaze shifted between the two as he took a few more cautious steps toward them.
"Good morning." He said, he tried for it not to come out as a question. He nervously quirked his mouth up into an awkward smile and set his towel down on an unoccupied bar stool. Leonard rolled his eyes and scoffed.
"I don't get it Sheldon, you had one lucky night with a stripper and suddenly you think you're Casanova!" Leonard blurted out in a hurt and angry tone. Sheldon quickly swallowed and looked over at Penny who narrowed her eyes at him. Quickly, she stood up and defensively folded her arms over her chest.
"You told him?" Penny impatiently questioned as she nodded her head toward Leonard. Her eyes glossed over with tears and Sheldon didn't know what to say, of course he wouldn't have told Leonard.
"Penny I-" He stammered out and before he could defend himself, Penny interrupted.
"I trusted you Sheldon. I can't believe you told him that I was stripping to pay my fucking rent." She said through the tears that fell from her eyes. Her arms fell to her sides. He wanted to grasp her hands in his, but he stood there frozen. Sheldon glanced over at Leonard, whose jaw was left on the floor.
"Penny, your language-" Sheldon started as he quickly darted his eyes back at her. Penny balled her hands into tiny fists and she clenched her jaw.
"Fuck off, Sheldon." Penny managed to quietly choke out. He felt his heart wretch with pain. Penny's eyes quickly darted across his face. Suddenly, her palm made contact with his cheek and the force of her slap caused his head to be thrown to the side. Sheldon grasped at the stinging flesh that burned on his face. As he regained his senses, he watched her storm out of his apartment, slamming the door behind her. With his hand still firmly attached to his burning cheek, he turned his attention toward Leonard who just stared at him.
"Dude…" Leonard said. Sheldon looked back at the door. He wasn't going to let her storm out of his life without giving him the chance to prove his innocence.
"Let the record show that I never told you about Penny's alternate profession, Penny did." Sheldon quietly said. Leonard nodded and turned around with his cup of coffee in hand and started his way down the hallway. Sheldon stood in the kitchen looking at the floor when Leonard interrupted his thoughts.
"So you and Penny, this is a new thing." He sheepishly asked.
"Leonard, just so we're clear, I was not seeing Penny behind your back while the two of you were together." Sheldon said as he turned around to face his roommate. Leonard pursed his lips and shamefully looked into his coffee.
"Also, what's wrong with me? What is so inconceivable about Penny being interested in me?" Sheldon quietly asked. Leonard sighed at the question and shifted his weight onto one foot.
"Sheldon, I didn't mean it like that." He started. Sheldon was growing annoyed with the nature of this conversation.
"Then how did you mean it?" Sheldon interrupted. Leonard opened his mouth to say something, but then stopped. Sheldon took the opportunity to defend his honor.
"I can assure you, Leonard, that I am a viable suitor for Penny. I can also assure you that I have been able to satisfy her sexually in all of our carnal encounters, not that it's any of your business. I may be socially inept, and what invalids have deemed as 'nerdy', but Penny understands me. Not only does she understand me, she accepts who I am, she doesn't judge me, Leonard." Sheldon finished as he turned on his heel, starting toward the door.
"Where are you going? We have to be at work in an hour." Leonard gently reminded him. Sheldon furrowed his brow and his eye twitched with annoyance.
"I can't let her walk out of my life like that, I'm taking a personal day." Sheldon countered as he swiftly walked toward the door. He heard Leonard loudly sigh as he turned the handle and crossed over the threshold, closing the door to 4A behind him.
The hallway was quiet and Sheldon could hear the low hum of the fluorescent lights situated above him. He took in a lungful of air and held it as he silently walked toward her door. The sound of his pulse hammered in his ears and he had to force himself to steady his hand before he could knock. Sheldon let out a steady breath and raised his knuckles to the door.
Knock knock knock.
"Penny." He softly called for her.
Knock knock knock.
"Penny." He called, his voice still soft as he tried to coax her to the door.
"Go away, Sheldon!" Penny yelled through the other side of the door.
Sheldon frowned, now he was going to have to start all over again.
Knock knock knock.
"Penny, please listen to me." He pleaded through the door.
"Sheldon, I am not going to ask you again. Go away." Penny warned. Sheldon huffed and straightened his posture. Today was not the day that he was going to give up on what he wanted.
Knock knock knock
"Penny, I am not going to ask you again, open this door!" Sheldon said, raising his voice. He could feel his heart threatening to burst out of his rib cage.
"You want me? Well c'mon and break the door down Sheldon." Penny countered. Sheldon felt his eye twitch, he wasn't going to break down the door.
"That is a direct violation of the agreement of my lease. I'm not going to break your door down, just open it." Sheldon countered, trying not to voice his annoyance. He quickly glanced at his watch and internally sighed. He had already spent fifteen minutes of his day trying to get into her apartment.
"No, if you want me, you're going to have to break down this fucking door." Penny harshly said through the door. Sheldon listened as she walked away from the door and their conversation.
Anger bubbled just below the surface of his skin, he couldn't believe the audacity of this woman. As he stared at her peephole, determined to bore a hole through the material separating him from her, he let out an audible sigh and leaned his back against the solid door. He allowed his gravity to take him down and he sat with his back pressed against the door facing his own apartment. He would just have to wait for her to come out.
Leonard came out of their apartment and closed the door behind him. Sheldon stared up at him and clutched his knees to his chest. He tore his gaze away from his roommates and looked at the floor instead, the thought of all of the germs he was sitting on made him squirm, but he was determined to wait until she came out.
"S'up?" Leonard said as he gave a slight nod to his roommate, who sat on the floor in his pajamas.
"S'up?" Sheldon quietly replied and watched as Leonard turned and disappeared down the stairs. He sighed and sunk into the door. As he waited he thought about her and how quickly she came to conclusions. It was a quality that was less than admirable, but with her brash and raw nature, completely understandable. Perhaps he could train her out of it using chocolates.
Suddenly the door was being opened and Sheldon's thoughts were being interrupted as he fell into her apartment. As he laid on his back, half way in the hall and halfway in her apartment, he looked up at Penny and tried to smile, it didn't work. Sheldon quickly got to his feet and looked her over. She rolled her eyes and walked into the kitchen. He quickly followed her and closed the door behind him.
"I'm giving you 20 minutes, Sheldon. Please make it worth my while." Penny smugly told him. Sheldon pursed his lips together and thought about what to say. He stepped toward her and she quickly walked away. As she picked up her bowl of cereal from the counter, she stared at him with an expectant expression.
"Penny, I didn't tell him about you working in that type of environment. I would never betray your trust like that." He quickly explained as he clasped his hands in front of him. He nervously fidgeted with his hands as he waited for her response.
"How did he figure it out then, Sheldon." Penny questioned as she roughly set her bowl of cereal on the counter. Sheldon frowned.
"You told him." He said in a matter of fact tone. Penny stared blankly at him. After she realized that she was speechless, she briskly walked toward her bedroom. Sheldon followed.
"What do you mean, I told him? How did he know that you were with a… stripper?" She said as she tore off her robe and tossed it to the floor. Her question almost sounded like she was ashamed or embarrassed.
"Leonard was there that night, so was Howard and Raj, but I never told them that it was you. You jump to conclusions too quickly and that was the downfall of your secret being revealed. You told Leonard what you were up to by merely accusing me of telling him." Sheldon explained. Penny again stared blankly at him as she put on a black lacy bra. Sheldon licked his lips and averted his eyes from the swell of her chest.
"Fuck." Penny said just above a whisper. She quickly tore her gaze away from his and rifled through her closet. She pulled out a black pencil skirt, a white blouse and a matching black blazer and tossed them on the bed. Sheldon watched her as she walked toward the bathroom in her underwear and brushed her hair back into a polished bun. He quickly walked toward the bathroom and leaned against the door jam. Her movements were fluid, getting ready was like second nature to Penny.
"Penny, what does this mean for us?" Sheldon asked as he watched her sweep her powder brush across her face. Penny looked at him through the mirror and he bit back a smile. She was perfect, and she didn't even know.
"What do you mean?" She asked as she curled her eyelashes.
"I mean, what are we doing? What is this?" He said while motioning to the empty space between them. Penny quickly turned around and stared at him with her bright green eyes.
"What do you want it to be?" Penny vaguely replied. Sheldon felt his mouth twitch, he wished she hadn't given him such an ambiguous response.
"Penny, is this a relationship?" Sheldon quietly asked. Penny smiled as she walked toward him and placed her hand on his scruffy cheek. He hadn't had a chance to start his day, and just realizing the state he was in was making him uncomfortable.
"Do you want it to be a relationship, Sweetie?" Penny softly asked. Sheldon swallowed and looked up to the ceiling, he could lose himself in her intense eyes, but he willed himself not to. Without realizing he had done it, he nodded his head in response to her question.
"Then that's what we'll call it." She said while rising up on her tip toes and brushing her lips against his. Sheldon closed his eyes and let the softness of her lips wash over him. She pulled away and looked into his face.
"I want to give you something better than anything you've ever had." Sheldon confessed. Penny smiled. She wrapped her arms around his waist and nuzzled into his neck. Sheldon sank into her touch and completely relaxed. As he rubbed his fingertips along the sides of her abdomen, he focused on her hot breath against his neck.
"Sheldon, if that is something you're worried about, I can assure you that you're amazing." Penny softly said against his neck, brushing her lips against his skin as she spoke. Sheldon shuddered at the feeling of her soft lips moving against him. Penny wrapped her arms around his neck and teasingly nipped at his neck as she gently guided him toward her bed. As he sat down on the soft mattress Penny crawled into his lap, kissing at his neck as she unbuttoned his pajama shirt.
Sheldon ran his hands up her back and quickly unclasped her bra, letting her spill from the black lace that contained her soft breasts. As she ran her fingers through his baby soft hair, he gently kissed at her sharp collarbone. Penny sharply inhaled as he roughly grazed his teeth along her soft flesh. Sheldon kissed down her chest, eliciting small, barely audible moans from his girlfriend. Penny gently rocked herself against Sheldon's growing arousal as he licked and sucked on her hardened nipple.
"Oh god Shel-" Penny managed to get out before he made his way back up her chest and cut her off by pressing his lips against hers. She moaned as Sheldon grasped at her chest and he slipped his tongue past her parted lips. As they explored each other's mouths, Penny rocked against Sheldon. She pulled away slightly and fought to catch her breath.
"What time is it?" Penny whispered into his ear. Sheldon couldn't care less what time it was, but he managed to glance at his watch as his hand moved toward her hair.
"It's 9:14." Sheldon said just before pressing his lips to hers. Penny pulled away and looked at him with a panicked expression. She quickly jumped off of him and raced to put on her clothes and finish her make up. Penny quickly got ready as Sheldon sat on the bed wondering what was going on. As Penny tried tucking in her shirt, she grabbed a pair of black stiletto pumps off of the floor. After grabbing her keys off the shelf she stumbled her way out the front door while putting on her shoes.
"Sorry sweetie, I have to go, I'll be back in an hour or two, I'm really sorry." Penny called behind her as she quickly closed the door. Sheldon stood in her apartment utterly confused and very aroused. He sighed and looked around at the mess that was Penny's apartment. He could deal with the mess later, right now he wanted nothing more than to have a shower and to be a productive member of society.
