Monday. Today Helga gets up early to get her store ready by 9. Leo, like always, wakes up just before they open. As he rushs downstairs, he sees Helga sitting down behind the counter, looking at what seems to be a small locket. Once she notices his presence she slowly puts it away as she gets one of her many books and starts reading.

"Hey Babe, how are you this fine morning?" he asked teasingly. She just stood quiet as she kept her eyes on her book. Leo slowly moves next to her and sees the chain of the small locket hanging out of her sweaters pocket. He gets close to her and slowly pulls it out without a second thought. She was too concentrated to notice.

"You can start putting those -" she was telling him until she saw him with something familiar out of the corner of her eyes. Something hers. Leo quickly turned around before opening it and froze.

"Shit..." He let out before he ran upstairs. Helga quickly got up and ran behind him.

"Your fucked Leo!" She yelled as she reached him in the living room. Face to face, Leo just looked at her.

"What's inside?" he asked. Helga just slowly put her hand out in front of her.

"What do you care. Give it to me now and I'll spare you." She demanded coldly. Leo grinned.

"Na. I'll take my chances." he said as he was starting to open the locket but in that instant, it was snatched away from his hand. Helga pushed him down on the couch and landed on top of him with her hands holding him down by his wrists. "Ohhhh kinky aren't we?" he teased. Helga gave a slight growl before she gave him a punch on his chest and stood back up. "Ouch!" he hissed as he looked at her. She's more quiet than usual... And I KNOW she can punch harder than that. He thought. As he sat up, still rubbing his chest, Helga turned to look at him. "Whats up?" he asked a little more serious. She didn't have much of an expression. She just had a straight poker face but he felt a hint of sadness from her.

"I can't go through with this. Even though he doesn't know, if I keep lying to him about us being together then I'll go crazy." she said simply.

"C'mon, I'm not that bad to be with." He joked. She just gave him a look that said otherwise.

"So far your clingy, more annoying than usual, and take my shit. Yeah. This isn't working out and it hasn't even been 24 hours." she said bluntly. Leo just stood quiet until she just laughed. "No you idiot. I could care less how you act. This isn't real anyways." she said. Ouch. That kinda stings. Leo thought to himself. "I mean I just don't want to do this. Lying won't get me anywhere. He has Dani anyways so what does it matter." she told him a little down. Leo stood up and walked to her.

"Give it a week and trust me. Something will happen for sure." he told her. She raised an eyebrow.

"What something are you talking about?" making sure.

"Something between you and green eyes. Just watch." he gave her a wink and a thumbs up. "By the end of the week he will get so tired of us being close and touchy that his jealousy will skyrocket!" he said.

"Touchy? Your not touching me no matter what reason!" she says as she inched away from him.

"If you want this to work there has to be some sort of interaction." he said getting closer to her. She crossed her arms.

"Unless you want to feel pain in places you haven't before then I suggest not." she smirked. He just stopped in his tracks and rolled his eyes.

"It's not like I'm going to grab your ass or boobs!" he told her. Although I secretly wouldn't mind, he thought to himself. "Its just simple holding hands or touching your waist! Stuff like that that will make it believable!" he tried to get her to agree. She thought about it for a moment.

"I don't know..." she pondered. Should I do this? What if this makes things even worse? Is what went through her head.

"C'mon give me- I mean, it a chance." He asked her, trying to hide the fact that he was talking about himself and not the situation. She glared at him for a moment.

"Okay. Fine but if you try to take advantage of the situation then you're dick will surely dissappear. Capiche?" She threatened. He backed away a bit in fear as he covered his lower half a bit.

"Got it." He replied. "So was that Arnold in the locket?" he grinned as she froze on spot. He noticed a slight tint of red on her cheeks.

"You saw!?." she asked suprised. He shook his head and grinned.

"You didn't let me. I guessed but it doesn't seem like it's false." he kept his cool. She walked up to him, right in front of his face.

"If you tell anyone... " she looked at him dead in the eyes. He could feel her breathing on him and it made him want to grab her the inch closer that was separating them. Calm down. Keep your cool. Leo told himself. Instead he grabbed her shoulders and pushed her away a bit.

"Don't worry. I don't have anyone to tell anyway." he simply said as he started walking downstairs. A little suprised, Helga was sure he was going to say or do something stupid.

"Alright then." Is all she said as she walked behind him. Leo picked up the box of books he was going to put away. Helga went behind the counter and eyed Leo. "Leo." she called him. He turned to look at her. "Thank you." she said in a sincere tone and a slight smile as she looked down at her book. Although it seemed to do nothing to Leo, it did catch him off guard. As he walked to the shelf he felt a bit warm on his cheeks.

"Nope." he said quickly as he put the books down and started putting them away. This isn't going to change anything. I'm still going through with my plans. He told himself as thoughts of Helga swarmed his big ol' head and his blush deepened a shade darker. He slammed his head on the shelf out of frustration. Fuck... C'mon... He thought.

"Aye, what are you doing back there? You better not be dropping books." Helga said loudly. Leo sighed.

"No princess, your precious books are in mint condition." he teased.

"Good. You on the other hand. If you get hurt, then it's fine." she grinned. Although Leo couldn't see her face, he was able to tell that she had that smug grin on her as she finished. He could feel his lips forming a smile at the thought of Helga and then at the same time dissappear in the blink of an eye. Well I'm fucked. He told himself.
