Disclaimer: I don't own Hey Arnold... what else?... yeah, right, nothing has changed from chapter four.

Chapter five: "Touch heaven with both hands...."

Her tears and sobs, like a storm, was dying down on his arms. They was, after a quite long, still on the roof. Her head on his lap covered by her golden cascade of hair, he was rubbing it, trying that it didn't cover her face. Whispering calm words to her while she found her breath rythm... and when she was calmed down enough, Arnold took her by the arms and she looked at him, still with watery eyes and a red face. Arnold could not hide a soft smile. 'She's still beautiful... even when she cries'. He dryed her last tears that was falling down with his fingers, and looked at her with a worried expression on his face.

"What has happened?"

"All was starting to go better..."– said Helga with a strange voice. Arnold took her chin and caressed it while putting it up.

"Hey, it's me... don't look at the ground, it's me..., look at me..."– said Arnold softly. She obeyed.

"I had a talk with Miriam. The talk. I... I mean I started to say all those things that we had talk about a milion times before, and I could tell her... and the best thing is that she listened to me, that she really cared what I was thinking about, I mean it! It wasn't like "Yeah, hon, so nice..." she was interested on my point of view... and we started to look at the newspaper to find a job for her, and I felt that she would try to do it better, that she really meant it" – started Helga looking at Arnold's eyes, still worried.

"Well, that's great!" –said Arnold surprised. He was happy. She finally could express how she felt to Miriam, and that was a big step for her... but why she felt so bad after that? – I'm so proud of you..."

"Really?" – said Helga with a soft and shy smile. He felt touched by that tender sign and hugged her tight.

"Of course. But... then why was you crying?"

"Because of Bob... he... he...." – said Helga losing her voice again.

"heey...." – said him rubbing her hair – "What happened."

"He slapped me"

"WHAT?"

"I mean, I know it hasn't to be a surprise because he's so violent and all... but... he never did that to me."

"No... that has go so far, I'm not going to let him do it again!" – said Arnold in a angry tone, making pressure on his fists....

"Shh... no... don't make it worse..." – said Helga rubbing his hands. Arnold was still angry but looked at her, and understood that he wouldn't help if he did something out of control.

"I'm going to talk with your father, this has to stop!"

"Arnold, he doesn't even listen to me... why he would listen to you?" – said Helga with a tired voice. She shivered with cold.

"Oh... sorry! How stupid I am... come on, let's go down to my room" – said Arnold helping her to stand up. She sat down on his bed and when he sat down next to her, she let her head fall on his lap again.

"I don't wanna go home... I wanna stay here with you, I wanna stay here..." – said Helga closing her eyes. His heart started to beat heavily.

"Did you have dinner... mmh?"

"Not really... I totally forgot about it" – said Helga opening her eyes and taking Arnold's hand, playing with his fingers. He smiled softly. She looked so sad early that it really hurted him.

"Well, so choose a big t-shirt or something for your pajama from my closet and I will bring you some food, ok?" – said Arnold standing up. She nodded with a little smile.

"But don't bother yourself so much, I'm not so hungry anyway..."

"You have to eat."– he looked at her tenderly and kissed her lips – "I'll be back"

About two hours later they was laying on the couch. She was wearing his biggest t-shirt, long sleeved and white, with some big black letters and the red sleeves. She has borrowed one of his big blue caps too. She didn't bothered to find a pants, although the t-shirt went down to her knees. He gazed her nude and thin legs several times, pretending that he was looking at the floor, amazed by her smooth skin.

He was wearing a long sleeved black t-shirt, and still his loose jeans, feeling comfortable with her, holding hands, letting that she leaned her tired body against his own.

"Arnold..." – whispered Helga closing her eyes.

"Mmmm?"

"Let me sleep with you tonight..." – said Helga, with a sleepy voice. He smiled softly rubbing her hair... he kissed it lovingly.

"Of course... but the.. the bed will b...be better than the couch... anyway if.. if.. you want I can sleep on the couch and.. and.. you..."

"I wanna sleep with you..." – said Helga opening her eyes, smiling amused at the nervous look that her beloved had on his face. She rubbed his cheeks and went up, to find his lips. She looked at him while her hair was falling down on his face. She let a soft laugh and kissed him.

He put his arms around her waist, pressing her body close, rubbing her back and her hair softly, caressing her, tenderly. She moaned, feeling the growing passion between them. She wanted to be even closer to him and made pressure against his body. Their kisses started to be longer, their caresses full of fire, mixing their bodies, feeling their skin under their clothes... they had to stop for air.

"This... is going fast..." – said Arnold breathing heavily.

"Uh... yes... I think I'm not really able to control myself..." – breathed Helga feeling Arnold's hands on her spine, down her t-shirt. Arnold could't help but laugh amused at Helga's words. Then, they looked at each other deeply down, and both knew what it meant.

"Are you nervous?" – said Arnold on a whisper, pulling away the hair that was falling on her face. She nodded, but smiled silently.

"I'm not really tired now..."- said Helga smiling and feeling her cheeks turning red. He smiled at it and hugged her tight. Then he stood up to close the lights. She found some candles on one of his drawers and lighted them up, feeling butterflies on her stomach. Then, she felt his embrace from behind. He kept his hands across her belly, kissing her neck, delighting on it. She moaned a little higher....

"Oh, you... you know how much I like the kisses on my neck..." – whispered Helga breathless. She turned around and without even blinking drove him to the bed. They was breathing heavily, looking at each other amazed. He trembled and caressed her hair and her face, closing his eyes. She couldn't believe how careful he was acting, like being afraid to hurt her. Then she took his hand and put it onto her chest.

"Do you feel it?" – she said looking at him. He opened his eyes and smiled. – "He will always beat for you"

"I love you"

"I love you too...."

And then all started to go faster, undressing each other, caressing their skin, feelin for first time their nude bodies connecting so easily... their loving words whispered on the night, their deep looks, their moans, dancing the same dance, her passionate kisses, his tender and desiring caresses, bringing them to heaven and hell, going faster and higher... inside theirselves growing and burning an explosion that will bring them to the climax...

After the climax, she was on the top, resting her head next to his, both breathing hard, gazering themselves with a wide smile.

"That was beautiful, Arnold..." – said Helga when she could breath normally again. He looked at her, feeling so much love that he could't even resist it.

"So that was make love with the person you love... – said Arnold dreamily and happy - I... never could imagine that... it was so... –he looked at her lovingly - I can't describe it... it was wonderful I couldn't never imagine that something could make you feel like touching heaven with both hands."

She felt deeply moved by Arnold's words and a little tear went down her cheek. He dryed it smiling, and she hugged him tight.

* * *

The early sunrise woke up the two lovers. He opened one eye slowly and heard a little lovely sigh near from him. He opened his eyes wide, and then felt a soft body against his. He smiled happy and kissed Helga's lips. She was still fighting to wake up.

"Arnold...?" – she said in a sleepy voice.

"Yeah...?" – said Arnold raising one eyebrow amused. She opened slowly her eyes and smiled at him. Then, she kissed his lips softly while closing her eyes. He took her by the waist making that she fell upon his body.

"Mmmm... this is the best waking up!!!" – said Helga on Arnold's ear. He smiled widely.

"So... you wanna try an even better wake up?" – said Arnold raising again one eyebrow evilly. She smiled.

"Well.. just if we have still any condoms, man! I don't wanna get pregnant so young!"

"I would take care of the baby too..." – said Arnold amused. She laughed happily.

"I love you... I love you, I love you!!!! I wanna say that to everybody, scream it out loud!" – said Helga loudly. Arnold smiled.

"Shhh... my grandpas, Helga..."

"Uh... I forgot..."

"So... – said Arnold after looking at the little box that was next to the bed – we don't have any condoms..."

"Too bad..."

"Are you hungry?"

"I'm starved!"

"Let's go breakfast then...."
