Passion and Miriam
(A/N: I was in a sentimental mood. I'm female it was that time of the month (girls will understand) and bored so here goes...I'm such a crappy romance writer... :'( *sigh*)
Arnold couldn't help himself. He felt a strong desire to reach out and take Helga into his arms.
"What makes you ask me if I love you?" she asked in a shaking voice.
"Do you love me Helga? Yes or no?" he pursued.
'Since when is Arnold pushy?' she thought. "No" she said. A strange look came into his eyes. Hurt and disappointment. "I mean I love you Arnold, but in a sisterly way" she lied.
He sighed. "You're lying" he declared and walked towards her.
"I most certainly am not" she shot at him.
"Yes you are" he told her. She started backing away but found the bed behind her. 'Okay' she thought. 'What now?' she asked herself and looked around the room. She had two choices. She could either TRY to run past Arnold and out the door, which wouldn't be easy as he was bigger than she was and stronger. Or attempt to get out the window and down the fire escape. She didn't like that idea either. Arnold would be there before she even touched the window frame. She sighed. 'Oh well' she thought. 'He knows anyway' she thought and gave up on her escape plans.
She felt warm hands touch hers. She looked down at her feet. It was no use. She was all too aware of his body, the heat radiating off him and he smelt so god damn good! He leaned down.
"I want you Helga" he whispered in her left ear. It sent shivers throughout her body. His hands traveled up her arms and went through the straps of her nighty and he brought his lips to hers. 'And I thought I liked the old Arnold' she thought as the kiss deepened. He moved away from her lips to her chin then her neck. He worked his way down slowly. They fell onto the bed. Not in the most comfortable position. The were lying across the length not the height.
"Hey Arnold?" she asked in a whispery voice.
"Yeah?" he asked back.
"Can we lie on the bed instead of across?" she asked all innocence. Arnold smiled.
"Okay" he said letting her up. Once they were a little more comfortable they picked up where they left off. He had her nighty and bra off and was at her pants when a knock came at the door. They both jumped and Arnold fell with a thump to the floor.
"You all right in there Eleanor?" she heard Arnold's grandma call.
"Uh yeah, fine" Helga said. She heard Arnold trying not to laugh.
"Okay well if you need anything just call. And I hope your using condoms Arnold!" she called. At this they just cracked up. They were crying by the time they could stop. They suddenly looked at eachother in shock.
How had she known Arnold was in Helga's room?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Helga woke up. She had had the most wonderful dream. Arnold had come to her room and they had made love. It was so real she could still feel his arms around her. Hey wait a minute there were arms around her and someone lying right in front of her.
"Arnold?" she said in disbelief.
"Oh hey" he said and kissed her so sweetly she thought she could die right now and she would have to be the happiest person to meet the gatekeeper on her way to heaven. Heck shed be so happy god would probably throw her out!
"I thought it was a dream" she murmured. Arnold sighed.
"Same. Good thing it wasn't huh?" he said and kissed her again.
"I should visit my mum today," she said quietly.
"I'll take you if you want" Arnold offered.
"Thanks, I have a feeling I'll need some support" she said. They got up and got dressed then went down for breakfast.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
(A/N: I'm going from Helga's point of view from now to the end of this part k?)
I don't know what was more shocking. The fact that I was visiting my mum in a mental clinic or the fact that she was in one. I looked up at the huge white building and noticed the big fence surrounding the huge grounds. I was scared. I didn't know what to expect. Does she have cold baths and electric shock treatments like they do in movies? Will she be so doped up she wont remember me?
"You okay Helga?" I heard a voice ask. I looked over to see Arnold. My knight in shining armor, my childhood secret love and friend, now lover and friend.
"I'm fine" I told him, but I wasn't. I was so scared. But I put on my brave face and squared my shoulders and pretended that I was in a play. I was someone else. Not Helga Pataki visiting her mother in a hospital, but someone else. I walked towards those doors that would lead me to my mother. Inside it was really pretty. Well the waiting room area anyway. I wondered if it all looked this good or if it was only this part. I walked up to the lady at the desk.
"Hello, how may I help you?" she asked in a sweet voice.
"I'm Helga Geraldine Pataki. I'm here to see my mother, Miriam Pataki"
"She's having a bath at the moment. Just take a seat over there please" she said and turned back to the computer. 'Probably in a chat room' I thought walking to take a seat. I didn't have to wait long.
"Helga Geraldine Pataki?" a nurse asked. She looked like someone had carved her out of stone then thrown paint on her. "Your mother is ready to see you" she said crisply. "Follow me" she started down the hall. I had to practically jog to catch up with her. "In here" she said pushing open a door. I walked in. My bravado had faded by now. Miriam sat on a chair looking at the door hopefully. I think she was expecting olga.
"Hi mum" I said walking up to her and kissing her cheek. I wanted to slap her and tell her to get over it. But I didn't. After all she killed Bob. I think I will love her for life...and wil always, ALWAYS, stay on her good side just in case.
"Helga, honey, have you heard from your sister?" she asked me. Okay love for her fading rapidly!
"No, why?" I asked through gritted teeth.
"She blamed me. She said its my fault bob is dead. But I didn't mean to shoot him" she saiddespratly.
"Miriam? You picked up the gun aimed and told him you would shoot him. Then you did. Look don't say any of this stuff okay?" I pleaded.
"Why am I here Helga? I'm not insane" she hissed. Ive never heard my mum speak like that so I was taken aback.
"It was either here or prison mum. And I don't think you would survive prison" I told her. "It for your own safty and well being. Olga agreed with me. That's why your here". I was getting bored and fed up.
"You'll come see me wont you Helga?" she asked. She looked so lonely. I felt sorry for her.
"Yeah. Is there anything you want me to bring you?" I asked.
"Patiant's arn't permitted their things here. We have everthing they could need" the nurse said in a cocky voice. Oh boy, did I ever want to smack her!
"Except love and understanding. Oh but wait, that's what drugs are for right?" I shot at her my voice dripping with sarcassam. She puckered her lips and "hmmph"ed and told me my visiting time was up.
"I'll come see you tomorrow miriam. I'll see if I can get a hold of olga for you" I said and got up.
"NO!" I heard her yell. I looked back startled. My mother was yelling.
"No what?" I asked.
"No, don't bring olga in. I don't want to see her" she said and walked over and hugged me. I was beginning to think that maybe she was in the right place after all...
"I'll be expecting you tomorrow Helga. You had better come visit" she said in a threatning voice. I nodded and walked out an down the long whit hallway. Miriams room was white. No pictures or anything. No wonder the people here were crazy. God himself would go nuts if he spent 5 minutes here. I left.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The drive home was quiet. Neither Arnold nor Helga spoke. When they got back to their place Helga went to her room. Arnold sensed she wanted to be alone and went to watch t.v. He felt a little mad at himself for having let Helga go in alone. But she would tell him what went on and stuff when she felt like it. He wouldn't push her.
"Wheres Rapunzel?" his grandma asked coming into the lounge.
"Helga is in her room" he told her emphsizing the name Helga.
"Oh, so hows Rapunzels mother?" she asked, aparently having missed the name emphisizing. Arnold sighed.
"I don't know Helga didn't tell me" he said.
"Rapunzel will tell you in her own time" she said nodding as if she had seen it already. She walked into the kitchen. Half an hour later Helga came down stairs and curled up in a ball next to Arnold. He put his arm around her.
"Shes more assertive" Helga said smiling.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Helga went to see her mom again the next day but she told Arnold everything right from the start. Even about the nurse who looked like she had a lemon stuck in her mouth all the time. She was very animated on their way home and even cooked dinner that night. She made chicken curry and it was really good. Arnold was surprised that Helga could cook. He was also shocked when he found out she knew embroidery. He loved this new Helga, happy animated and friendly (unless she didn't like you) and he enjoyed her company. But after a while he thought that it was all to good to be true. He could smell a storm on the horizon. He was just hoping it wasn't going to be a bad one....
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
(Okay so I realized something. I never put one of those thingy things up. Where you know you don't own the characters blah blah blah. So yeah. Consider that done now. I own no characters blah blah blah the whole nine yards I'm bored now bye)
