WHITE ROSES
Chapter 2: Arnold Looks Back
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
TICK, TICK, TICK, TICK.................
Arnold looked at his watch for the 7th time that hour. He was in the presidents office, talking to the President herself. " I don't know what could be holding her up Arnold. " Phoebe said almost to herself. " It's not like her to be this late. " Arnold still had no idea who he was being held up for. He knew it was phoebe in office, but he would be meeting the secretary of state for the first time, and he didn't know who it was, and Phoebe wanted to leave it as a suprise. " Aw Pheebs, we've be- " she interrupted him " President Pheebs to you...... " a mocking smile spread across her quiet, pretty face. Arnold gave her a funny look and smiled. " President Pheebs........." he continued. " Why can't you tell me who this new secretary of State is? " he asked. " Because you knew her......back in PS. 118,..........." Phoebe stopped. Arnold looked at her. The smiled. " You're putting me on......." " I'm afraid that's all I can tell you until she gets here. " Arnold rolled his eyes. " May I be excused your highness? " he mocked " you may......" she said busy with her paper work.
In the washroom, Arnold was looking in the mirror. His foot ball head, was no longer. It was replaced by the shape of a normal head. His blond, cornflower hair, was spiked letting a few strands fall over his face in an alluring way. His Piercing blue eyes lit the room. He went from a boyish figure, to a gorgeous masculine one. He was a little higher than six foot. And his smile melted almost all the girls around him......that's what landed him the job of an anchor man for CNN. He knew that all the girls would die to go on a date with him, but was unninterested in any of them. He wore black pants, a tight white mens tank top, with a leather belt. He had a black jacket and sunglasses on.........he looked positivley sexy. He walked out of the washroom and back into the huge presidents office. When he came in she looked up at him and smiled. " Tell me again why I'm here Pheebs? " he asked exhuasted. " I thought it would be nice for you to meet her again. " " UGH! who is HER? " just then, the door flew open.
In stepped the ultimate playgirl. She took one look at the office, smiled at Phoebe and started to walk towards her. She stopped dead in her tracks. She took off her sunglasses and narrowed her eyes at the handsome stranger. ' He looks really familiar. ' she thought. Arnold froze and didn't budge. A beautifully amazing woman had just flew in the door. He took off his sunglasses and narrowed his eyes as well. ' It can't be.......... ' he thought. She looked Arnold over. ' Wow......... 'she thought. ' What a totally hot guy, but he looks just like......just like.........' she her eyes shot open. " A-arnold? " she asked, stuttering. Arnold looked her over. This woman, was breathtaking. She was wearing a little below the knee skirt, it was black and orange, with an black halter, and orange strappy heels. She had on black sunglasses, which she was now holding in her hand. She was a total goddess. Arnold took one look at her and automatically knew who she was.......she had walked back into his life, after so many painful years of wondering, what had he done?! She asked again. " Is that you Arnold? " He looked at her, starting from her heels, all the way up, past her long, gorgoeus legs, past her small firm waist, past her bust, all the way to her face, which he was now looking at with pain in his eyes. She had become so breathtakingly beautiful. " P-phoebe.....uh, can we be alone for a minute?...." Arnold stuttered, never taking his eyes off Helga. " But of course......" Phoebe smiled to herself. Her plan had worked..........well, almost. " So, you've come back...... " Arnold said, the words bearly audible. She looked at him, almost painfully, back down to the ground, and back to him. " Not exactly by choice. I never knew you'd be here. " she paused. " I wouldn't have come if I knew. " Arnold looked hurt, but she didn't care. He put her through hell, up to this point, even right now. " I didn't know either. " he walked closer, noticed the big, huge gap between them. " We need to talk Helga. " he said, giving her a look, which she didn't know what he was trying to get across......but she didn't like it.
" No, we don't. There's nothing to talk about, no more Arnold, its all behind us, that was
14 damn years ago! What's to discuss?! " she said, but wasn't sure if she believed that herself. " Don't you throw that bull shit in my face Helga Patacki! You know damn straight, that you left me hanging that day, so many years ago! And now, you wanna tell me that your not gonna explain anything?! " He looked seriously PO'd. But she was more. " Don't you get it?! Arnold, all those years, back in PS 118, you didn't notice anything? NOTHING AT ALL? NO SHIT HAPPENING?! WELL, I WISH YOU HAD! YOU SHOULD KNOW YOU BASTARD! " she wasn't finished. " I loved you Arnold, with all my heart, but maybe your football head was too freakin pointy, to realize the point I was trying to get through to you, dumbass! But NO! It was always Leila! Leila this, Leila that! And not even a lousy dance at the end of the year! Some friend you were!!!!" she was on the verge of tears. " So thats it........... " he looked at her sadly. " H-helga......I never realized. I-I'm sorry,.......b-but," she looked at him expectantly. " I'm kinda going out with Leila......" he looked up at her. She put her hands over her mouth to hold in a gasp. He started to move towards her when she pushed him away. " N-no..........no, Arnold, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that. It was behind us, why did I bring it up? Helga, you stupid idiot! I'm so damn sorry Arnold, I'll never interrupt in your life again! Good bye!" and with that, she ran out the door, sobbing hysterically. " N-no, w-wait..........Helga! Please......" he broke down on the floor on the Oval office. " I need you Helga........." he said between sobs.
" Damn you girl, I'll find you.......I'll find you if its the last damn thing I do! " he grabbed his keys, and ran out that door, never to come back until he found Helga. He lost her once, he won't let it happen again. He was going to bring her back into his life.......back where she belonged.......back,.........in his arms.
