I could feel the heat rise into my cheeks and spread to my ears and neck. He didn't mean... no he couldn't be thinking about that. I mean we just met up with each other! My Football headed prince wouldn't dare suggest something so seductive.
Arnold leaned closer and whispered in my ears.
"Come on I'll make you feel a lot better."
His eyes seemed as if they were looking into my soul. I gasped when he grasped my hands and pulled me into his chest. Arnold started to laugh as he heard the surprise in my voice.
We were so close to each other I thought for sure I was going to faint at any moment. He stood there for a moment looking at me then he dragged me upstairs.
Okay I am seriously freaking out. I've never done it before. Let alone with the love of my life. It's not like I have a problem with it. No problem whatsoever. But I always pictured our first time to be more romantic.
"You okay Helga?" Arnold asked turning his head in my direction.
I blushed some more and didn't meet his eyes.
"U-uh yeah I'm f-fine!" I squeaked.
Arnold smirked and started to open the door to his room.
"Whatever you say Helga." Arnold said.
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh! Here we go.
Arnold led me into his room and suggested I take a seat on his bed. He got on the bed too, my heart skipped a beat. Then he started to go up the stairs to the roof. After that he pushed some kinda button near the window.
By now I was wondering what the hell he was doing. It was then that I heard some kind of a mechanical sound. I looked up to see that the windows of the roof were being covered with some kinda black curtain. I stared at it amazed, and curious at what was happening.
"When did you get that?" I asked.
"My grandparents got it sometime I was gone. Like a late birthday gift for me." Arnold said.
"Oh..." I said.
Arnold had jumped off the bed and went over to where his light switch was.
I gulped as I started to realize what he was doing. He ended up turning off the lights and started to walk towards his dresser. I tried my best to squint and saw he was pulling something out of it.
There was one word that popped in mind.
CONDOMS!
That's the only logical thing I could think he would be grabbing out of that dresser.
Arnold then closed his dresser then looked slowly towards me. Even though it was completely dark we could still see the glow of each other's eyes. Then he started to walk over to me slowly, though with long strides.
Eventually he made it over to the bed and climbed on it. He was coming closer and closer to me. He was close enough to where I could see the outlines of his perfect jawline.
Oh boy, get it together Helga ol girl!
I quickly turned my head as he gazed at me.
"Helga..." Arnold said.
I didn't answer him, I just kept breathing hard.
"Look..."
I did not want to look at whatever he wanted to show me. I mean what if he had already stripped his clothes off. Not that I would mind... I trailed off. No do not think like that Helga!
"Look at what..." I said. I started to find myself curious.
"Look up." Arnold said.
I looked up at the dark ceiling then looked back him. Then looked up again seeing nothing.
"What?" I asked.
"Just keep looking. Trust me." Arnold said.
I rolled my eyes then stared at the ceiling again. What is this "I Spy?!"
I was about to turn around when I saw him holding something from the corner of my eye. It looked like the same small object he got from his dresser. I focused my attention back to the ceiling. That's when I started to see little swirls of lights forming on the ceiling.
Then they started to take the shapes of glowing stars and planets. So many colors mixed with the millions of tiny stars on the walls, made it look like glitter. I gasped, amazed by what I was seeing. It was as if I was floating in space.
"Oh my..." I said.
Arnold chuckled and got closer to my side.
"So... what do you think?" Arnold asked.
"W-what...?" I said as my voice faded.
"I take it you like it?" Arnold said.
I turned to look at him noticing that the object in his hand was projecting a small beam of light towards the ceiling.
"How did you...?" I started to ask.
"My parents gave this to me. I would always go to look at the stars when I was upset. They knew that here in the city I wouldn't be able to see all of the stars that I would see in the jungle. So they decided to give this to me." Arnold said.
He held it up for me to see. Oh, so that's what he was getting out of his dresser. Eh heh heh, Whoops!
"That is really amazing Arnold, this has got to be the coolest gift ever!" I shouted.
Arnold smiled.
"Yeah it is, I hoped it made you feel better." Arnold said.
"Yeah I guess it did. Thanks Arnold..." I smiled at him.
Arnold's eyes widened and took one of my hands.
"You look very beautiful Helga..." Arnold said
I was so surprised and flustered to hear him say that. That the next thing I did was push him off the bed. I heard a loud thump and a groan. I panicked and quickly looked over the bed.
I looked down and saw Arnold's butt stuck in the air with his face on the ground. I couldn't help it I burst out laughing. The sight was just to hilarious.
"Ha ha very funny Helga..." Arnold muttered.
"Wow you look like... such an idiot, it's hard not to laugh." I laughed.
Arnold squinted his eyes at me.
That's when I felt a pair of strong hands pull me down.
I waited to feel the impact of the floor, but didn't feel it. Instead I felt a soft but firm body. When I looked Down I was staring right at Arnold.
"Ha payback!" Arnold exclaimed.
I snorted and said.
"Oh yeah your going down!"
I started to attack him with tickles. He was laughing so hard that he had tears forming out of his eyes. I was laughing too enjoying torturing him. Though my reign of assaults was suddenly stopped as he flipped me over. He then started to tickle me never stopping.
I cried out in laughter and tried to push him off but to no avail.
"No mercy!" Arnold shouted.
"No, ah ha ha! Please no more, ah ha ha!" I laughed.
About fifteen minutes later we ended up stopping just giggling to ourselves. Arnold was still on top of me, but we didn't notice.
"Arnold I thought you were supposed to be the guy who helped people." I said jokingly.
"Hmm depends on who it is." Arnold smirked.
We continued to sit like that, staring into each other's eyes.
"Helga..." Arnold breathed.
He started to lean closer as he started to hold my sides.
I blushed heavily as my heart beat started to quicken. I then saw his eyes were a deep and green as they were half lidded. I started to close my eyes and lean closer to him. We were so close that I could feel his warm breath near my lips.
Oh my gosh this it.
"Arnold, Helga?! Man where are they?"
I heard Gerald yell.
"They're probably upstairs." I heard Phoebe say.
I tried to push Arnold up so I could scramble away. But he was to heavy, by the time he realized what I was trying to do it was to late.
"There you guys are we have been looki-." Gerald said.
Gerald gawked at us his mouth hanging open.
"Were they in here like I suggested? Oh my!" Phoebe squeaked.
"Uh hey guys..." Arnold said.
I saw Gerald look at me then to Arnold and over again. Then his face turned into a huge smile. I knew that smile anywhere.
"Don't you dare say it..." I dared him.
"So what have you guys been up to while we was downstairs?" Gerald smirked.
Oh my gosh. Why does embarrassing moments always have to happen to me? Why?
About an hour and a half later everyone was starting to get ready to play games such as Charades.
Nadine was bending her arms and walking creepily around the room. Making high pitched inhuman sounds.
"Oh your supposed to be a bat!" Sid yelled.
Nadine shook her head and continued to shake her arms faster.
"No an alien attacking Earth and eating the flesh of human beings!" Curly shouted. We all stared at him for awhile then continued to guess what she was.
"Oh I know a big juicy pig, man I'm so hungry!"
Arnold looked towards Abner who looked terrified. Arnold went to scoop him up in his arms. Then glared at Harold playfully.
"You can forget about eating my Abner!" Arnold said jokingly. Though you could tell he was serious about it at the same time.
"I would never do that Arnold!" Harold said.
"Unless I was starving..." Harold started.
Though he couldn't finish since he was smacked hard on the head by his girlfriend.
"Ow Patty that really hurt!" Harold whined.
"If you don't act up I won't have to hit you." Patty said cooly.
"Hey Patty I missed ya girl." I said as I gave her an hive five than gave her a hug.
"What up Helga how's it been?"
"Nothing much I didn't know you if you were gonna make it on time." I said smiling.
"Yeah well since I'm such a hard worker my boss decided to let me out earlier. What's up Arnold long no see." Patty said.
I looked behind me and sure enough Arnold was walking towards us. My heart skipped a beat.
"Hey Patty great to see you again." Arnold smiled while giving her a hug.
"Same to you Arnold." Patty said.
Arnold looked at me then blushed a little. He then turned back to Patty so quickly that I'm surprised he didn't get whip lash. Patty looked from Arnold then to me and back again.
"So you and Arnold huh?" Patty smirked.
"What no way w-hat makes you say that?! I shrieked.
"Y-yeah Patty that's crazy!" Arnold piped in.
"It was just a question." Patty stated.
"Humph! Some question!" Helga retorted.
"I asked it since you guys were blushing and kept looking at each other." Patty said bluntly.
I can't believe she just said that. My ears were burning and I felt as if I was going to burn the whole room.
"W-well I.." I started, but got interrupted by a loud shriek.
"Hey you can't eat all of the chicken!"
"Well I gotta go I know Harold's probably trying to eat all the food in there. See ya guys later!" Patty smiled before she took off into the kitchen.
Me and Arnold just sat there stunned at what just happened. Arnold then turned to look down at me. Man I hate he got so much taller than me. Then again it was kinda hot.
"Is there something on my face Helga...?" Arnold asked as his eyebrow raised.
I realized that I had been staring at him for to long.
"N-No geez I was just! Uh... looking at how dumb your head looks!" I shouted.
"Well if it's so dumb why do you keep looking at it..." Arnold said.
"Because it's distracting!" I said.
"Yeah because that was the only thing distracting..." Arnold said.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked.
"What do you think it meant Helga...?" Arnold whispered.
"I uh... what?" I stuttered dumbly.
Arnold was leaning down inching his face closer and closer to me. I was starting to get all types of goosebumps again. Arnold was so close that I could feel his breath on my neck.
"We should really talk about that night when I left." Arnold whispered to where only I could hear.
I gasped and tried to find an excuse to get away from him. I love Arnold more than anything but I really don't want to talk about that night. That day just continues to make me upset but happy at the same time.
"Helga..." Arnold said.
"I ..." I started.
That was when I heard my phone start to ring. I picked it out of my pocket so fast. Thank the heavens I got interrupted.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Olga you need to hurry up and come home. We need to have a family discussion." My dad said.
My stomach literally dropped. I know I was hoping for someone to interrupt me. But I didn't want it to be my dad. I sighed and told him I'll be on my way.
I sighed again and leaned against the wall.
"You okay Helga, did something happen?" Arnold asked, concern in his eyes.
I had almost forgot he was right there with his face inches apart from mine. he must have noticed how close he was because he jumped back a little. His face burning. I was blushing hard too before I answered him.
"Yeah everything's fine Football head. I just need to go home now." I said with disappointment.
"What already? But I really had fun with you being here..." Arnold said sadly.
Aww I can't believe he was happy hanging out with me. I felt really special and happy.
"Well you know how it is, I probably need to cook or clean something." I responded.
Arnold looked at me sadly for awhile.
"Well I guess I can understand that with your mother's condition and all. But shouldn't your father try to at least do something?" Arnold asked. He looked a little agitated.
"You should know he would never do that." I said calmly.
I could see Arnold gripping his fists tightly.
I began to gather up my stuff and getting ready to hurry up and leave. When Big Bob called me I knew it was something serious. That was when I saw Phoebe running up behind me.
"Hey Helga you ready to go home, I can have Gerald drive you?" Phoebe asked.
"Nah it's fine, I can make it on my own." I said reassuringly.
"Are you sure it's really dark outside?" Phoebe asked.
"Yeah I'm fine I just really want to be alone." I said. I gave her a knowing look and she completely understood.
"Oh I see, be careful Helga." Phoebe said before giving me a hug goodbye.
"You just tell Gerald to take it easy wouldn't want his bruises to get to beat up." I smirked.
"Oh Helga." Phoebe giggled. Gerald looked over and jogged over to us.
"What are ya talkin about?" Gerald said mostly to me.
"About you, I'll see you guys later." I said.
"Hey wait your leaving by yourself? You do know I could just give you a ride right?" Gerald asked.
Phoebe tugged on his shirt and gave him the look.
"Oh... well you can always text us when you feel like it alright?" Gerald asked.
"Yeah thanks, see ya Gerald. I gave him a him a handshake before turning to the door.
"Is there something I'm missing? I'm not letting Helga go home alone at night." Arnold protested.
"I can take care of myself perfectly fine. What do you think I'm not capable of it!" I Yelled.
"No I was just - !" Arnold said.
"Just leave me alone! I don't need your help!" I snapped.
Arnold stood there with a hurt look his face. I couldn't take it anymore so I took off into the night.
I could still feel Arnold's eyes burning into my back as I ran away.
About twenty minutes later, it was getting darker and colder. I walked holding my jacket to keep myself warmer. That was when I heard a trash can fall in the distance. I snapped my head towards the source.
I saw a figure and started to walk faster. That was when the figure started to pick up speed too. Trying to catch up with me. Hell yeah as if I was going to let that happen. I started on a full out sprint. Only a few more blocks.
That's when I felt a hand grab my wrist. I shrieked. Okay whoever the hell this was, was gonna get a serious ass kicking. I turned and started to raise my fist to smack them. But they grabbed my other hand to prevent me from doing so.
I tried to break free from the tight grip but the person who was holding was me was surprisingly strong. Holy shit I'm screwed!
