"Damn I'm pooped." Leo said as he was arriving to the store. He opened the door and saw Helga behind the counter writing some of her poems. "Sup'." he said simply as he grabbed a chair to sit on the opposite side of the counter. Helga put her elbow on the counter and then her chin on her hand while still writing with the opposite hand.
"How did football head take the news?" she asked, keeping her attention on her writing. Leo smirked as he crossed his arms and laid back a bit.
"Which news? The one about you giving him less work or about me liking you?" He didn't get a reaction instantly since she had her full attention on her poetry but once she finally realized what he said she stopped her writing and looked up at him.
"You what?" she hissed. Leo felt chills roll through his body as he slowly got off the chair and walked to the couch. "Why would you tell him such a obvious and STUPID lie?" she continued. Leo shrugged his shoulders.
"It didn't look like he thought it was a lie OR stupid." he remarked a little hurt as he sat on the couch with a pouted face. "Anyways, he even grew some balls and told me he wasn't going to help me out as a wingman." he told her. She regained a bit of her composure as she sat up a bit straighter.
"Really? But why?" She asked, not knowing what to think or how to feel. Leo looked at her and smirked.
"Why else would you think? Because he likes you. Duh." he said, hoping to get a reaction from her and he did. She was quiet and looked a little lost. Great. Now you know he likes you but you can't have him because he has a girl. He thought.
"I... I think he's just being a good friend. You sure your not leaving anything out that he said?" she asked a bit fragile looking, to Leo's suprise. He shook his head.
"Nope. I told him I liked you. Asked for help and he said no. That was it."
"But what about Dani?" she thought aloud to herself.
"I know. Poor gal." Leo said laying down on the couch now. Helga shook her head.
"This is all too much. I'm going upstairs for a bit." She said as she got off the stool and started making her way. "Oh! What did he say about the hours?" she asked Leo. He gave a big yawn as he put his hand up lazily.
"He didn't seem too happy with it but he didn't say no at the end. I have a hunch that he may give you a call soon." He sususpected. Helga hummed as she got out her phone from her pocket and went upstairs. Leo looked up at the stairs until he was no longer able to see her. "Things are going smooth." he whispered to himself as he slowly started dozing off. "I gotta be careful though. This can backfire at any moment if I'm not on top of things." he finished as he looked at the clock hitting eleven and completely closed his eyes.
Next thing he knew he shot up from the couch as he heard loud knocking on the store door. "What the?" he looked out the window to see Helga as it was raining. He got up and quickly unlocked the door. Once the door was fully open, a soaked Helga ran into Leo's chest, catching him off guard as he let go of the door, it slamming closed. "Wha- What the actual-" he was going go say until he heard whimpers from Helga. A little worried now he put his hands on her shoulders. "Helga are you alright?" he asked concerned. He tried to get her to lift her head but just heard a soft tone as she cried.
"I shouldn't have gone. I shouldn't have told him." she said, still not lifting her head. Leo was barely able to comprehend what she was saying.
"Wait, you told green eyes? You didn't.. " he asked worried for his plans. She nodded her head.
"I did and he rejected me. He flat out told me off and said he had Dani and that he didn't need me!" she said a bit hysterically now. She shot up and looked at Leo in the eyes now. Leo felt a strong ache in his heart as he saw her face. "It's all your fault!" she lightly punched his chest. "If it wasn't for you then everything would be okay! If I never helped you! If I never met you then-" he interupted her and looked her straight in the eyes.
"Helga! Calm down! I'm sorry! I didn't... I mean I did but... He didn't say that. He couldn't have..." Leo felt guilt build up into every inch of his body. Helga was just sobbing on his chest.
"He did. He said to forget about him and to leave him alone. He didn't need me... " she stopped for a moment. "That he never needed me." she said in a lost and quiet tone.
"That bastard. What the hell is he saying." He thought out loud. Anger and guilt taking over him. "Where the hell is he? I'll go and see what the fuck is up with him." he said as he let go of Helga and made his way towards the door until he felt a tug on his wrist.
"No. Don't. Just leave him alone. I'm done." she said sounding a bit more clearly now but starring at her, Leo was able to tell she wasn't okay. "I'll just forget everything and live alone with my stupid shop." she chuckled. "Not that I ever really thought of telling him or really thinking he would be mine but hey. I guess this life long thing with Arnold is finito... Huh?" she showed a small and weak smile. Still holding onto his wrist, Leo felt overwhelmed with so many emotions he didn't know what to do but his body just did... Everything. With the hand that Helga was holding him he pulled her toward him and caught her lips onto his. Helga was shocked. She immediately pulled back. "WHAT THE HELL LEO!" She had her hands pushing him back on his chest as his arms were around her waist. Noticing their position, Leo's eyes widened and let go.
"Damn... " he looked down. "I seriously don't know what came over me." he looked at her as she looked upset but a single tear slowly ran down her cheek. Noticing it, he straightened himself up and did something he didn't think he would. "Im lying Helga. I know what came over me." he told her. She looked at him with a curious look but still rather upset. Looking as if she was on the verge of crying again.
"What?" she said as she crossed her arms, starting to feel a bit cold from being drenched. Leo noticed it and got a blanket that was on the couch. He put it around her, having his hands gently on her shoulders.
"Even though you may think it's a lie or stupid... It's the truth... And I'm serious." he told her as she looked at him with those beautiful but worn out saphire blue eyes of hers. "I like you... Actually I like you a fucken lot more than I think I do because your... I don't know... I just know that your something special and..." he paused. "I already lost my mom... I don't know if I can lose you if you decide to do something stupid because of Arnold being a fucktard." he said angry. Helga just looked at him. He wasn't blushing or nervous, he was calm, although he doesn't know how but he knows he wasn't lying. All of a sudden Helga started crying again. Putting her hands on her face to try and make it stop but she couldn't. "W-Whoa... Did... Did I say something wrong? Look I'm sorry but I'm not lying I-" then he heard a small voice comming from her. He couldn't make it out so her crouched down a bit more to hear her better. "What?" he asked.
"Make it go away... Please Leo just help this stop... " she begged him. "Just make me forget Arnold... Please... I.." she looked at him straight in the eyes. "I don't care how... Just help me not feel how I am right now... Please." she begged one last time. Only one thing came to Leo's mind and he wasn't sure if that was what she meant or what she wanted. He didn't know what to do so he just stood dumbfounded for a moment until Helga called out to him. "Leo..." she said in a quiet and weak yet seducing tone. He looked up at her as she dropped the blanket and all Leo saw was the lines of her undergarments from how soaked her cloths were. It was showing her body in a way that Leo hasn't thought of but that moment Leo knew what she wanted. He quickly dashed to her and then all of a sudden. Nothing. All he was around was an abyss of darkness. He didn't see anything but he heard footsteps. Then suddenly he opened his eyes and shot up from the couch, scaring Helga as she was making her way out.
"Oh shit!" she let out, suprised by Leo sitting up so suddenly. "Don't do that you idiot. You nearly gave me a heart attack." she said with her hand on her chest. Leo pointed at her with a serious look.
"You! Where you going?" he demanded to know. Taken aback from Leo's random question, she just glared at him.
"I'm going to get something to eat. What do you care?" she said opening the door. Leo squinted his eyes, still pointing.
"I'm comming with." he said. Helga just gave a 'HA' as she was closing the door.
"Like hell you are." she barley managed to say before the door closed and she made her way. Still trying to figure out what happened. Leo laid back down on the couch and remembered everything he just dreamt. He put his arm over his eyes and sighed.
"What. The. Hell." he said. I mean I like her but not to that extent! That was fucken nuts. He thought to himself until he heard his phone ring. It was a text from Helga.
I'm waiting for you to come in the car so hurry up or I'm going to leave your sorry ass starving. She messaged. Amused by her text, Leo gave a laugh as he jumped up from the couch and felt total discomfort in his pants. He looked down and groaned in annoyance.
"Great now I gotta put this sucker to sleep before I go out." he thought of what may have caused it, which was obviously the end of his dream but needed to think of something else since that wasn't helping his current predicament. "C'mon. Something ugly. Something gross." he tried hard when he knew what to think of annnndddd then it went down. He smiled, rather proud of himself and made his way out. Yeah, seeing green eyes the way I saw Helga in that dream isn't very arousing. He laughed to himself.
