Helga: GET ON WITH THE SHOW ALREADY!
Now presenting Chapter two/7:00 of a cold winter in Autumn..
Niles P.O.V
Time: 7pm
Place: Lovers' Lounge located in the Hillwood hotel
The sounds of Carlos Santana's "Black Magic woman" filled the air as I began to look around for my beautiful blonde. The air is thick full of lust and laughter; I hope she shows up, I would hate to be stood up again. I hope the sneakers and button up match doesn't look too sloppy. Why am I worrying anyway it's not like I want to-
She looks so beautiful.
Helga was wearing a pink knee length dress that showed off her legs, her hair was in a bun with a ringlet caressing her face, her shoes well she was wearing flip-flops, something was shining around her neck but it was hard to make out at this distance, nevertheless Helga looked stunning. She looked around and locked eye contact with Niles.
She…she…she..
"Hey handsome!" Helga let out in a dreamy voice. Oh my! SHE CALLED ME HANDSOME! Calm down…Respond repeat respond
"Hey Beautiful!" I feel like I should wink.
He winks but jumps because he forgot that he rubbed his eye after cutting onions earlier at his brother's shop. The sting was still there.
"Are you okay?" Helga exclaimed with worry in her voice. Great now she thinks I am a klutz or overly emotional…hmmm
"Nope I am good madam, how has your day been?" Nice Save!
"Well...-"
5 minutes later…
Both Helga and Niles were laughing and exchanging half lidded stares towards each other and touching hands occasionally. Finally Niles looked up and touched Helga's face.
Now is the time.
"Helga you are one of the most amazing people that I have had the great luck of bumping into while in this town, unfortunately I will have to return to New York soon in order to go back to regular life… What I am trying to say is will you come back to New York with me?"
She sighed. That didn't sound too great
"I just met you…I would have to spend more time with you in order to see where this is going, plus I am tied up by my own life and-"
Helga moved slightly and revealed the locket she had around her neck. What's that?
"Huh? Oh…Just an old memory I always keep with me just for luck.
She smiled a warm smile.A locket…I wonder what's inside of it.
"What's in it?"
"My heart"
"Can you let me in your heart?"
Her face shifted and she slowly removed it and put it on the table with delicacy then unlatched the guard that protected its inner sanctum. There stood the picture…Joe Hisaishi-One summer day started playing
Her Heart.
The Reason he wanted to go around town.
The reason he came to hillwood.
The reason he wanted to find his own love.
To get out of his shadow
Niles face dropped and he looked at her and shook his head then took a deep breath and took her hands.
"My brother eh? He's a pretty swell guy does he know?" She looked at him as if Batman was caught with his pants down in broad daylight.
I guess not
Helga shifted nervously and looked at him and sighed
"look he doesn't know anything all he remembers me as is the girl whom constantly bullied him and made every day of his life a living hell with my endless spitballs and name calling, you know what's funny even after he grew out of that football head of his, it didn't seem right calling him Arnold. So now even at the age of 20 I am still fawning over his love and vying for his attention, even though we are on opposite ends of the country I can't help but yearn for another moment spent bathing in his emerald garden eyes while taking in the beauty of that sea that lies in his heart. I love him and I know I should be over it but I'm not and nor will I ever be. He will forever be my heart".
That was beautiful…hmm….
just in that moment Niles looked at the locket again and looked at her. The air was thick and the tense. At that moment Helga reached for her locket but notices it isn't there and were now in Niles' hands.
You're the blonde my brother was telling me about…not bad tastes for a goody two shoes. But nonetheless, I have a delivery to make to my brother and start operation snow white…no…sleeping beauty…no…Cinderella.
"it is time that you face your deepest wants and seeing as I have perfect proof my brother will have no other choice but to believe me, plus I think you would like it better this way"
"GIVE ME BACK MY LOCKET!"
Helga begins inching towards him nervously yet menacingly. "19200"by Gorillaz starts playing
gee… she seems angry oh well…let me get out of here.
He gets up and begins to book it for the door running past a waitress that was walking over to give them the check, she sighs and notices there is something on the floor that fell out of the young man's pocket, she puts it in her apron and takes it to the front desk and the manager shakes his head and puts it in a box.

Ugh. I can't believe how late it is…why did I sleep so late? I have repairs to do to the house, wait the clock says 8:15 PM?

The room illuminates and reveals a young man about 20 years old, whom who reached down and grabbed his hat and put it perfectly in the middle of his head, the blue bounced off his emerald green eyes, his blonde hair bouncing around on the sides of the hat. Pulls his flannel shirt on over his bare chest and jeans on under his shirt and smiled at the mirror at the sight of his now vibrating phone. He reached down and opened it.
Muy importante meet me at the tower at 10pm-Nilli

"Hello?"
