Penny spent the next week in bed nursing her cold. Luckily she had banked sick time at the Cheesecake Factory. By the time the following Saturday rolled around, she could breathe out of her nose and she was finally well-rested.
The light of the fridge illuminated her face as she looked for something to eat for dinner. All she had over the past week was tomato soup and she was sick of eating sick food. She didn't really have much in the fridge, so she decided to eat a pack of ramen noodles. The water started to boil and she dropped in the noodles. As she waited the five minutes for her dinner to finish cooking, she started to think about school. It started in just over a week and she hadn't gotten everything she needed yet. Just as she put her noodles into a bowl, she heard Sheldon's knocks. After his last round, she opened the door to her fresh faced neighbor. He was wearing his black Batman shirt over a long sleeve dark grey one. Her mind flashed to what was hidden away under those shirts. She recalled his flat stomach, his creamy skin and innocent freckles. Penny swallowed the lump that was forming in her throat and ignored the butterflies fluttering in her stomach. "Hi Penny, how are you feeling? You didn't come over on Wednesday for Halo night, and I got stuck with Walowitz. We were defeated, Penny. It was awful." Sheldon pouted. "Oh, I'm feeling much better, Sweetie. I just needed to get over that nasty cold. What's up?" She asked. "Penny, as you are aware, Leonard has resumed his relationship with Priya. I require you to drive me to the market as I have run out of laundry soap and tonight, as you know, is laundry night and Leonard is not here to drive me." Sheldon said expectantly. Penny sighed and knew she wouldn't say no. She had never really been able to say no to Sheldon. She moved aside and let him into the apartment. Sheldon glanced around and shook his head in disbelief. How could one woman create such a disastrous mess? "I'm not nearly ready so if you don't mind waiting a half hour, I would be more than happy to drive you." She said as she picked up her bowl of ramen and began to eat. Sheldon sat down on her tiny couch and waved his hand dismissively at her as he turned on the television. She finished off her bowl of noodles and put her bowl in the sink. The channel has been changed from Cosmo TV to the Space channel. Sheldon was watching Star Trek: The Next Generation while he waited for her to get ready. He heard her bedroom door click shut and he looked about the room. He had already watched this episode numerous times, 24.6 times to be exact. He stood up from her couch and began to clean up her small Swedish coffee table. He wondered if he could train her to be more organized through positive reinforcement. He recalled when he had previously trained her with chocolates. She was wearing a blue tank top and her hair was up in cute little pigtails. He asked her if she would like a chocolate after she had picked up their dinner plates to take to the kitchen and since her hands were full, Sheldon fed it to her. When she took the chocolate with her teeth, she let out a breath that tickled Sheldon's hand. Her tongue slightly grazed the tip of his thumb. It was warm, wet and soft. It wasn't slimy like he had anticipated another person's mouth being. After that occurrence, he wanted to train her to get out of other bad habits, but Leonard wouldn't let him. Sheldon moved about Penny's apartment cleaning and putting things back into their rightful places. He could remember every spot that he had designated for Penny's things. He even labeled things for her so she knew where they would go, but she didn't bother to follow his organizational instructions. She had clothes strewn across her apartment. A t-shirt was on top of the fridge, a brazier was hanging from a lamp and a pair of purple, lacy panties laying on a barstool. He put her clothes into a pile and held up her panties. They were so tiny, how could she even fit into them? He heard her bedroom door open and he quickly stuffed the panties into his pants pocket. He left his hand in there with the balled up fabric. She glanced at him. He looked slightly flushed and avoided her eyes. Her apartment had been straightened up while she was in the shower. "Sheldon! What the hell? Why did you clean my apartment?" She angrily asked. "Sorry, Penny. I started tidying up the coffee table and it kind of got out of hand." Sheldon weakly replied. She smirked. Only her Whack-a-Doodle would nervously clean an entire apartment. She couldn't help but feel the butterflies return. She had hoped that he had done it for her, but she knew deep down that it was only a nervous tic. Her purse was beside the bowl that her keys now resided in. She moved toward the door and Sheldon followed. Quickly, she turned around with her hand on the door knob. She looked into his eyes and he seemed to have calmed down. His eyes weren't as frantic as they were just seconds ago when she had gotten upset; they were now steadily gazing into hers. She took a deep breath. They were so close that she could smell him. He smelled like laundry detergent and grapefruit. She licked her now dry lips. "Penny, aren't we leaving for the market?" Sheldon said quietly. His eyes quickly searched her face for an answer and he felt his stomach flip flop. Her features were soft and her chest heaved with every deep breath she took. "Thank you Sheldon. You really didn't have to clean my apartment." She said. She wanted so badly just to throw herself at him and she felt confused. How did this happen? Since when was she in love with her crazy neighbor? He was Sheldon for Christ's sake! He was insane and had all kinds of stipulations. She had to figure out what was going on in her brain before she let anything happen with him. She needed to know if he felt the same spark she did. With her hand still on the door knob, she walked out of the apartment with Sheldon in tow.While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
