Chapter four
Helga wakes up with a smile on her face; she turns to her left and notices that Arnold is still a sleep. Every time he sleeps his boyish looks come out so cute. Helga was trying to leave the bed without much movement so she would not disturb him. As she make her way downstairs to the kitchen, she turn on the coffee machine and start looking for some food to cook. As Helga was looking in the cabinets she heard something vibrating, she stops to listen where the vibrating noise might be. It vibrates again it leads her to the hall of the door; she walks down until she reach the small table where Arnold's phone was. Must have dropped it there when we came home. The light goes on and a number appears. Should I? No Arnold would be very upset if I peeked on his phone. Then again if it a business call and it an emergency I mean he is a psychologists. Helga kept pacing back and forth; she was really debating on whether to look at Arnold phone. Finally looking up the stairs making sure he was still a sleep she picks up the phone and opens it.
Miss you very much; call me when you need a good time ;)
Helga did not recognized the number, she felt sick to her stomach. She deleted the text message and put the phone back. She ran to her study and started crying harder, she ran to the bathroom got down on the floor and throw up in the toilet. She stood at the bathroom for five minutes or more she was not sure but all she knows she hears him walking down the stairs. She gets up from the floor and gets herself cleaned up.
"Good morning…Helga you look pale are you okay?" Arnold rushed to his wife and touchs her fore head. "You don't have a fever."
"I am fine; maybe the food from last night did not sit well in my stomach." I hope.
"Alright if you say so, have you seen my phone?"
"Uhm I think it be the little table in the hall."
"Okay thanks."
"Welcome I am going to start breakfast, what do you wants?"
"Anything you cook, you know I never complained about your food."
"That is true."
Arnold left to fetch his phone as Helga went to start breakfast."

"Are you sure you are okay?" asked Arnold again
"Yes, why do you keep asking me that?"
"Well all you ate was toast and butter."
"The smells of the eggs were bothering me so I decided to stick with the bread and butter."
"Eggs have a smell?"
"Yes!"
"Okay okay, chill" Arnold throw his hand up in surrender.
Helga rolled her eyes, she look at Arnold and just notice he has his basketball shorts and a v-necks shirt on.
"Are you going out today?"
"Yes Gerald and the boys are going out for a game of basketball at Lorenzo basketball court."
"Nice"
"I should be back at three and maybe we can stay home a watch a movie."
"Yea that a good idea, I'll be having lunch with Lauren she been bugging me to hang out with her."
"That good just you and Lauren?"
"No later Phoebe and Lila are going to join; we are all going to the Ritz."
"That not far from for Lorenzo place I will pick you up just text me when you are done."
"That fine I will take my car."
"Helga it fine let me pick you up okay."
"Alright fine"
After Arnold left Helga went to take a shower, all she thought about was the text that was in Arnold phone. It was bugging her she wanted to know who she was; she wanted to know why she is trying to break up her family. Helga finally got out of the shower and got dress she started noticing that her clothes were getting tight. Its official going on a diet. Helga decided to stick with leggings and a long white shirt with a belt on the middle of her waist.

Arnold pulled up at Lorenzo place he walks to the back where he sees Gerald, Stinky, Curly, and Harold waiting for him.
"Hey Arnold my main man, where have you been hiding? I feel I had not seen you in ages." Said Gerald
"I been busy that all; how about you guys?"
"Well Rhonda and I have been unpacking the house since we move back from Paris." Said Curly
"Oh that right but wait isn't she pregnant right now?" asked Gerald
"Yes she is, she around six months we are having a boy so basically I am doing the unpacking for the both of us since she now allowed to carry much weight."
"That is very exciting myself and Lila have been talking about having a family for a while now."
"So have Phoebe and I, we just want to make sure that we are ready and have the money since babies are expensive." Said Gerald
"I do not disagree with you on that what's ever since Harold Jr. was born all I have to say me and Patty are holding off till we decide to have another one." Said Harold
"What about you Arnold?" asked Stinky
"What about me what?"
"Well I mean you guys been married for five years and I thought you and Helga would have a little one by now." Said Stinky
"Oh well I mean we are still twenty- four, we are not in that stage yet."
"Arnold do you want to have a baby?" Asked Curly
"Of course I do."
"With Helga?"
"Curly she is my wife of course I want to have a baby with her; we are not just ready yet."
"Alright I am just saying."
"Alright cut my man some slack, in a way he is right they are both young and when the time comes they will be ready."
"Thanks Gerald and by the way where is Lorenzo?"
"Oh he went to get the basketball and score board." Answer Harold
Ten minutes has passed and Lorenzo comes out with the board and the ball. The guys split into two teams Harold, Stinky and Curly in A and Arnold, Gerald and Lorenzo in B.

"Helga! It been to long since we last seen each other, now tell me how are you?"
Helga met Laruen in her last year of college. The both women hit it off from the start. Laruen was studying to be a journalist for top new paper companies while Helga was trying to get her book published.
"I am fine Laruen and how about you? Where are you working now?"
"Well right now I am writing for the New Post."
"Really so how is it living in Manhattan?"
"Oh sweet it's wonderful everything is in walking distance I never take my car." chuckled Laruen.
"That is true and save money on gas."
"Yes that is true, so where is Phoebe and Lila I thought they been here by now?" Laruen looked at her watch.
"Phoebe is on her way she just finished with a client and Lila said she could not make it she covering for one of her co-workers." Said Helga
"Oh yes Lila works at Hillwood hospital in the maternity ward right?"
"Yes Laruen she does, she always tell us stories about her job and I got to say sometime it's scary make you not want to have a baby." Said Helga
"Well dear we say that now than you never know what might happened."
"That is true."
"Hello ladies how are you?" Walks in Phoebe she gave both women hugs and kisses.
"Phoebe I was just asking for you."
"You were?"
"Why yes well now that you are here it time to catch up on everything."
Both women enjoy their lunch together it was like they were in college all over again sitting at the little café that they use to go.
"Well ladies I must go, I have stuff to do but do not worry I paid for the lunch okay."
"You don't have to do that we could have paid." Said Helga
"Helga let me pay please, I know your pride would not let you but let it go its paid. Bye dear let's catch up again." Lauren waves the girls good-bye and was out the door.
"Well that was interesting, she seems very happy." Said Phoebe
"I know right it seems as she has a man in her life." Said Helga
"Right she always tells us if she has someone new in her life." Said Phoebe
"That true hmm maybe she is not ready to introduce us to him."
"That true uhm Helga are you okay?"
"Oh God not you to."
"Huh?"
"Arnold asked me this morning the same question and I will give the same answer I am fine just a little sick."
"Helga you look pale and you had not touched your coffee and your cherry pie, and knowing you would have scruff them down in the first five minutes."
"The smell of the coffee and the pie is bothering me; I think it was something I ate last night."
"Right…how was the date?"
"It was amazing he took me down to Hillwood river and there it had private restaurants, a little park that leads to a bench that sit front of a fountain, we did some kissing and after we came home we went to another world."
"So I am guessing that everything ended nicely and did you have a chance to talk to him?"
"No I did not but I might have to, since something happened this morning."
"What happened?"
"He phone was vibrating…"
"Oh Helga you didn't…"
"Wait let me finish…anyway I found his phone in the hall and I kept debating on whether to look at it or not but after it vibrated for the million time I open it and it was a text from a number I did not recognized and it said "I miss you very much; call me when you need a good time" with a winking face. I mean I was pissed I wanted to call her and curse her out for trying to destroy my family but I bit m tongue and deleted the text."
"Helga you have to talk to Arnold, if he is cheating on you, you need to know. You can't be living a lie."
"I know I do Phoebe but I am just scared."
"That it might be true, what would you do if he is cheating on you?"
"To be honest Phoebe I do not know." A tear was making it way down to Helga cheeks.
"Oh Helga" Phoebe gave her blonde friend a tight hug and rubbed her back.

Helga was waiting for Arnold to come a pick her up, after Helga recollected herself and said goodbye to Phoebe, she texted Arnold to come and pick her up. He said he was on his way but that was an hour ago. Where are you? There is no traffic right now. Helga was getting inpatient she saw one of the buses coming up lucky it was the bus that goes to her house she was about to stop it until she saw a black car that was making it way here.
"You are late." She said as she hops in.
"Sorry after I texted you the guys wanted a recount and it took longer than I thought."
"Man you smell bad, please when we get home take a shower." Said Helga
"Well I am guessing you still feel sensitive?"
"Well I didn't eat as much for lunch but now I am starving I can eat a horse."
"How about we pass by a Chili's and get two for twenty to go? I know how much you love Chili's." Said Arnold
"Can we get the molten lava cake to go as well?"
"Yes we can."
"Okay deal." Helga gave Arnold a smile and the two couple was off to get their food.

"How about the hangover?" Asked Arnold
"No"
Arnold and Helga were deciding what movie to watch. They were searching through Netflix to see what good movies they have.
" Transformers?"
"No"
"Okay Helga you pick a movie so we can start eating and enjoy the movie."
Arnold gave the remote to Helga while he went to the kitchen to grab utensils and couples of plates. Helga was looking at the list of movies she could not decided what she wanted to watch or she was really distracted all she thought about the text and the talk she wanted to have with him. She was brought back from her distraction when he came back and went back to look for a movie. Finally she decided on The Great Gatsby with Leonard De Caprio. Both started to eat and watch the movie in silent.
