Fic TBBT: Blind chapter 8a)

 Suddenly she deepens the kiss. He's not used to it and she probably notices it but his body takes control. He didn't know how to kiss but he knew how to kiss Penny. But his bran can't forget. He didn't come for that. Leonard was across the hall, waiting for him to come back. So he forced himself to pull her away, sighing as he did so, surprised by his own reaction. Penny blinked, frustrated. Or angry, he couldn't tell.

"Penny, I'm sorry, I'm not here for that. I came here to help Leonard"
She widened her eyes, misunderstanding his words. He shook his head.
"You can't kiss me like that Penny. Why did you kiss me when we arrived?"
"You know what they say. 3 is a charm, 2 is not the same"

She laughed and Sheldon shook his head again. They kissed four times. And it was getting better everytime.

"But why did you kiss me in the first place?"

He needed to know because no matter how much he tried to remember an event where she could have shown some interest in him, he failed. And he didn't like it. She looked at him quizzically and he wondered if she knew herself.

"Sweetie I know it's new for you but saying that to a girl you just kissed isn't sexy"

Sexy? How would he know anyway? It was one of the few things he didn't know about the universe. He had to focus. And Penny disturbed him. That's what he didn't like about her. Among other things.

"Jeez I don't know Sheldon! We were dancing and you were being really nice to me. Something I'm not used to by the way. And I just needed to...kiss you"

He couldn't get why the fact of being comfortable with someone and being nice could lead to a kiss. Penny was really beautiful, he had to admit that. He always knew that. Her eyes were green and bright while her golden hairs were nonchalantly falling over her shoulders. And she seemed to be, as Howard would say, hot.

"Penny, Leonard asked me a very personal question and I must ask you too"

She was listening. Good. But why did she have to stare at him like that? Like he was some kind of candy she could eat up. She never looked at him like that before. He needed to know what happened within her.

"Are you in love with Leonard?"

Wrong. She lost her smile and it looked like he had upset her. She had tears in her eyes. She sat on the couch and all he could say was 'there, there'. No, he had to do something more, especially after what she did for him and the result it gave. So he sat next to her and squeezed her hand. She looked up at him. Oh God, she was crying. Certainly not what he had wanted.

"Penny I apologize. I shouldn't have stated it like that. Forgive me"

She cracked a smile and took his other hand in hers. He felt warm through his spine, a feeling he had never experienced before. And it felt good.

"That's okay sweetie, you...asked and that's good. I need to talk to Leonard. Soon"
"But do you?"

He sounded like a child. He didn't want to sound so desperate but her smile grew wider. She approached him and suddenly he couldn't move. She was staring right into his eyes and he swallowed hard. She was going to kiss him, he knew that look. But someone knocked at the door and she stood up quickly, leaving him in pure confusion. Then he heard the door open and the voice of...Leonard. Of course. Who else?

"Hello Penny! Good to see you again!"

Sheldon didn't look at him. He knew he had kissed her, kissed the lips he tasted not so long ago.
"Hi Sheldon, I need to talk to Penny if that's fine with you"

Sheldon stood up, smirking. Like he needed permission. Instead he focused on Penny. She was looking at him with a mix of...what was that face? Forgiveness? Guilt? Beg? Her mouth was twitching but she couldn't speak in front of Leonard. And he knew what would happen if he leaves. He closed his eyes for a second to chase this image away. He walked past through Leonard but Penny stopped him.

"Thank you Sheldon. I'll make good decisions"
He thought for a moment, remembering what he had said to her and why. Oh no. It meant that Leonard was ready to do it. That's why he wanted to know about her feelings. And he had no choice but let him do it. What could he do?

"I trust you Penny. Please don't let me down"

He whispered it to her in such a lower register that Leonard didn't hear him. He went between them and tried to give the 'please get out so I can do my thing' look to Sheldon. He nodded and Penny hugged Leonard. Sheldon was about to leave but then he heard the most awful thing ever.

"I love you"

He looked at her in disbelief but her eyes were on him, not on Leonard. Did she tell it to him?
"Oh my God!" Leonard exlaimed, delighted.
"No honey...not the way you imagine..."

He seemed disappointed but hugged her again. Penny smiled at Sheldon. Then his body told him to do something crazy so he bend over to put a soft kiss on her lips. She was smiling into him and he left, smiling too. Howard had been right. Biology was the only thing who could disturb a scientist. But he had find something stronger than biology. He had met Penny.

TBC.
