I've Been Here All Along

Chapter 4: Goodnight

"Well Helga do you , I want you to be honest with me about this"

"And what if I'm not"

"Than you'll never know how I feel about you"

"About me, what do you even feel for me"

"well I know that I love you"

"Stop it, why are you lying to me, you wouldn't do that if you knew how I feel about you"

"I know that you love me"

"…" Helga had nothing to say

"Well Helga please tell me that you do, I don't want to look like a fool"

"How do you think I felt when you told me about Lila"

"So you do love"

"Yes …I… do"

Helga hesitate on the words, afraid of what Arnold might do next. Arnold looked at her and smiled at her. He took her in his arms and kissed her. It was like how she had expected it to be, but not in the public like that. All suddenly they hear a voice calling Arnold's name.

"Arnold". This voice belonged no other than Lila. They let go of each other and turned to face Lila.

"What do you want, Lila what part of I don't ever wan to see your face again didn't you get". Helga looked at Arnold in disbelief, she never dreamed of the day that Arnold would scream after Lila like that.

"What are you doing with Helga"

"What do you think I was doing"

"I don't know if my eyes were lying to me, but I swear that I saw you kissing her"

"Yes I was, it would've lasted longer if you didn't come budging your way onto it. Now move out of my way, I need to take my lady home"

"What so now you're going out with her. It hasn't been a week and already you already found a replacement" Lila said in pure hatred

"What did you call Helga" Arnold said in pure fury

"Are you deaf, I called her a replacement"

"Watch your mouth, you don't want me to do anything that you might regret"

"Like what, what do you have on me that you could us against me". Arnold knew that he was stuck there, he looked around and Helga pulled on his shirt and showed a man flirting a girl. She nodded to let him know that it was Lila's cheating partner.

"Isn't that your man over there sweet talking that girl over there"

"You know what Arnold this is not over, and Helga if I were you, I'd watch my back"

"Is that supposed to be a threat " Helga said

"Take is as you want, but I'm going to make sure that you suffer". She blew a kiss at Arnold and walked away. Arnold turned to Helga's way and said

"You're not a replacement ok"

"I know, I never expected that from Lila, so much for little miss perfect"

"Yeah I know, but you know what it doesn't matter anymore, I got you and you got me"

"yeah "

"Ready to go home"

"Yeah, but it's more like my house"

"True"

When they got to Helga's condo, Arnold took Helga in the living room and looked at her sweetly.

"You know that I've been dreaming of this for a long time" he said

"Really"
"I still can't believe that I said I love Lila, man was I fooled"

"You didn't love her"

"if you mean truly loved her than it's a no. I was sort if happy when she told me that it was over"

"Than why were you in such depressing mood"

"it gave me time to think and to be next to you"

"Even if we did have a fights"

"Yeah even so"

"It's getting kind of late don't you think it's time to go to bed "

"Yeah sure"

"Don't get any ideas bucko"

"What ever you say Helga"

"I like it better that way"

They went and prepare themselves before going to bed.

"Goodnight Arnold"

"Goodnight Helga". He leaned over and kissed her goodnight.
