A fictional story about fictional characters.
*****
What had begun as a perfect day for Penny and Leonard, had somehow ended up a disaster. They had left Pasadena full of hope and love for the 261 mile drive to Las Vegas with the intention of being married and enjoying a wonderful honeymoon night. En route, Leonard, with the very best intentions of being totally honest with his future bride, had confessed to kissing another woman in a moment of great turmoil and stress. Penny had said she forgave him but it was gnawing away at her insides like a hungry wolverine. Leonard was the last person she had expected to "play around" on her; he was the classic nerd-boy scientist who could never get a date; but because of his innate sweetness and naivety, the former cheerleader had fallen head-over-heels for him. He was the most attentive, thoughtful, and respectful boyfriend she had ever had and she finally realized that it was partly her own fault that he now had a modicum of courage and confidence.
Leonard had fallen in love with the blonde beauty the first time he laid eyes on her: the day she had moved into the apartment across the hall from him and his roommate, and fellow scientist, Sheldon Cooper. She had been sweet to him but just considered him a nice neighbor and at the time would have laughed if someone had suggested that one day they would be married. Penny was used to dating the empty-headed athlete type; boyfriends who used her for her body and then ignored her. Over time she recognized the incredibly good person inside Leonard Hofstedter and he had grown on her. She had even grown fond of his arrogant, egotistical roommate, even though most times he totally exasperated her.
Leonard's best friends were now her best friends. The other two of the "nerd four" as she thought of them were Howard Wolowitz (a total pervert who leered at Penny whenever she was in the room), and Raj Koothrappali ( a sweetheart from India who could not even talk to her for the first years they were acquainted). They all worked at CalTech and had exceptional IQs (Sheldon was a certified genius and never let anyone forget it). Most people thought of Sheldon as arrogant, but the truth was he just had absolutely no social skills because he had grown up isolated in a lab or classroom.
Penny regretted that her best friend, Bernadette Rostenkowski Wolowitz was not going to be at her wedding, but the elopement had been a spur-of-the-moment thing; some would say calling Sheldon's bluff that they wouldn't do it. Penny had reluctantly introduced Bernadette to Howard when they had both worked as part-time waitresses at the Cheesecake Factory. Bernadette had returned the favor by securing a job interview for Penny at the company where she worked and now Penny was a well-paid Pharmaceutical Representative. The other member of their close circle of friends was also intellectually blessed. Amy Farrah Fowler was a neuroscientist who the guys had set up with Sheldon through an on-line dating service. Mostly shy and reserved, Amy was a plain looking girl who had recently broken off her relationship with Sheldon because of a lack of progress in the courtship.
Despite being upset about Leonard's admission, Penny went ahead with the wedding because she knew he was her soul mate and "because we love each other,'' as Leonard had so aptly said. He had purchased the wedding package that included a "streaming video" option so their friends could watch their ceremony. Penny had worn a light pink, knee-length dress with black shoulder straps and was, as usual, a vision of loveliness. Leonard had dressed appropriately and Penny had jokingly remarked, "look at you in your little suit."
Leonard had recited his vows which had a scientific theme, and Penny had worked in the words from the "Toy Story" theme song, "You've Got A Friend In Me," because she knew it was one of Leonard's favorite movies. Their friends had gathered in Pasadena to watch the web-cast and had invited Stuart to join them. Stuart had owned a comic book store which the nerds frequented, and when it had burned down, Howard gave him a job helping his house-bound mother. He had become her friend and confidante, and when she had passed away, Stuart was left with living-rights to the Wolowitz home. They missed most of the wedding because Sheldon and Amy were arguing, but agreed to submit positive reviews in the "comment" section.
When they arrived back at their hotel room, anticipating their honeymoon night, Leonard insisted on carrying his new bride across the threshold. "Are you sure you can," Penny joked as Leonard opened the door and swept her into his arms. It was a very romantic gesture until just before they reached the bed and Leonard's back gave out. He was able to throw Penny onto the bed before he collapsed to the floor in pain, which also triggered a severe asthma attack. In the ambulance, on the way to the hospital, Penny called Bernadette to give her an update on her "magical" night.
Everyone except Amy, who had stormed out after arguing with Sheldon, was still gathered together and watching TV when Penny called. They agreed with Bernadette when she suggested, "Penny needs us...she should not be alone on her wedding night." The entire group, with the exception of Amy who would not go "because that ass Sheldon is going," decided to make the four-hour drive to Las Vegas to comfort their friend.
Penny had spent almost three long hours at the hospital while her beloved Leonard was evaluated and treated. He was diagnosed with a back sprain and, of course, respiratory distress and admitted for at least twenty-four hours observation. Given lidocaine for the back pain and a strong sedative to help him relax and breathe easier, the doctor told Penny that Leonard would be sound asleep for several hours, so there was really no sense in her staying at the hospital all night. Giving his hand a gentle squeeze and kissing her husband on the forehead, Penny sadly left the hospital and returned to their honeymoon room.
When she arrived she found a bucket of cold water (formerly ice) containing a huge magnum bottle of champagne which Leonard had pre-ordered from room service. "That sweet, hopeless romantic," Penny muttered as she popped the cork and drank straight from the bottle. It had been a long exhausting day and Penny felt the strong desire to relax in a nice hot bath. Kicking off her flats, which she always wore when she was with Leonard so he wouldn't feel self conscious about their height difference, she drew a nice hot bath and added the complimentary bubble bath which the hotel had provided. Slipping the straps from her dress off her smooth shoulders she let the dress drift to the floor and quickly removed her skimpy see-through lacy bra and panties. She had worn her sexiest lingerie for her wedding night and had planned on performing a strip show for her new husband.
Admiring her nude body in the full-length mirror on the back of the bathroom door, she thought to herself, "you're missing out on all this Leonard." Penny was absolutely gorgeous and sexy and she knew it. Her long legs were shapely and smooth, ending in a totally bald pubic area (because it turned Leonard on). A very prominent puffy mound gave her the perfect "camel toe" and was framed by her classic thigh gap. Her ass cheeks were round and firm; and Leonard once remarked that he bet he could bounce a quarter off them. Above a flat tummy, her wonderful 36 C breasts stood out from her chest without a trace of a sag. They were capped by large pink areola and jelly bean sized nipples.
She sat the bottle of champagne beside the tub and as Penny lowered herself into the soothing hot water, she murmured, "oh how I miss my little nerd." The water enveloped her amazing body and she immediately felt more relaxed. Using a folded towel for a pillow the beautiful blonde just lay there for several minutes breathing deeply and letting her muscles relax. She freely swallowed about half the champagne, her heat dilated capillaries absorbing the alcohol almost instantaneously. Using her favorite jasmine scented body wash which she had brought, Penny slowly ran her hands all over her silky skin. She gave her crotch a thorough scrubbing and was tempted to explore her inner folds, but decided she would just stay relaxed so she could get a good night's sleep.
When she arose, feeling slightly woozy from the champagne, the water dripping off her perfect body; the water had been so warm that her skin was now a rosy pink. Searching through her suitcase Penny realized that the only night-clothes she had brought was the short, completely transparent purple nightie that was Leonard's favorite. Her camel-toe was totally visible through the matching thong panties, as were her nipples through the thin lacy material. The nightie was so short that when she moved even slightly, the bottom of her ass cheeks peeked out. "I wish you were here Leonard," she thought as she checked herself out in the mirror, "look at what you're missing." Sitting on the edge of the big king-size bed, Penny quickly finished off the last of the large bottle of champagne. Leaning back against the piled up pillows, Penny began to laugh out loud realizing for the first time that the cheesy Las Vegas hotel had installed large ceiling mirrors. "Wow, do I look great," she laughed.
Just as she closed her eyes, her head spinning from the sudden alcohol intake, Penny heard a familiar series of knocks on her hotel door: knock-knock-knock-"Penny,"...knock-knock-knock, "Penny."
"What the...," she actually verbalized as she staggered to the door. She had not realized how much the champagne had affected her until she reached for the door-chain and missed. "Wow, I'm shit-faced," she thought as she slid the chain off the bar and opened the door a crack.
She was met with the sight of a familiar face demanding, "well are you going to let us in or leave us standing here in the hall...where I'm not sure we're safe, by the way." Penny stood back as Sheldon barged into her room followed by Raj, Howard, Stuart and finally her best friend, Bernadette.
