*Arnold's POV*
Oh my God, I do love her. I frickin' love Helga G. Pataki.
While I was holding her, all I wanted to do was shove her down and kiss her. A lot.
But I couldn't very well do that, especially when she was busy sobbing and I had just convinced myself that I wasn't in love with her.
Plus Stinky would probably think I was trying to rape her and call the cops.
That how much I wanted to kiss her. Yeah.
But I would just have to do with my arm around her. For now.
Soon, her tears subsided and she looked up at me. "Why are you doing this?"
I looked back, "Doing what?"
"Comforting me. Why would you do that for me?" She sounded disgusted by herself and it killed me.
I gulped, "Because you're special to me."
Her mouth went into an O and she replied hesitantly, "R-really?"
And I think Stinky took that as a sign he should leave because he got up and said, "I'm gonna go see if they've got some popcorn. Ya'll have fun." Then he snickered and left.
Helga sat up and pulled her blanket around her, "I'm…special? To you?"
I smiled, "Yeah. You really are."
She glanced at me and lifted one of her plucked eyebrows, "How special?"
I laughed. There's the Helga I know. I slid closer and looked her straight in the eyes, "Very special."
And that's when I saw Helga blush for the first time. And I must say it was extremely cute. I was a bit disappointed though, when she leaned her head back, instead of forward. "Well…that's good to hear." She said, trailing off slightly.
I mean, it is good to hear but what I want to hear is if I'm special to her.
"Arnold?" she said suddenly.
I looked at her, expectantly. She was blinking at me, the blush still in her cheeks. "Yes?" I replied, trying to help her along.
She bit her bottom lip, "Y-you…"
I raised my eyebrows, "Yeah?"
She opened her mouth but nothing came out. Suddenly, impatience and frustration took over. I rolled my eyes and pulled her lips onto mine. And then love took over.
Once again, Helga was shocked by the kiss but then just gave in. And I guess I got a little too carried away because she put a hand on my chest and pushed me off. "Whoa there, mister."
I laughed again, a little too giddy, "Now do you have something to say?"
She smiled and opened her mouth to say something but I cut her off, "I love you, Helga. So damn much." And it felt awesome to say it again.
Forgetting everything again, I started to kiss her again but she put a hand on my lips. "You didn't let me say anything, Arnold!"
I hold back another laugh, "Sorry."
She sighed and just looked at me, "I love you too, Arnold. With all my heart."
I grinned, my heart soaring, "That's all I needed to hear." And then I went back to kissing her.
A few hours later
*Helga's POV*
OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD.
I just…
OH MY GOD.
I just made out with Arnold. Not sex, I wouldn't let it get that far but OH MY GOD, I ALMOST HAD SEX ON RHONDA'S FUCKING BED.
I'm literally dying of happiness and embarrassment. Arnold was still asleep beside me. I could hear the TV downstairs and I knew that Stinky had no idea what was going on. Other than that, it was completely silent.
Just me, my thoughts, and Arnold's adorable snoring.
Then, barely, just barely, I heard Curly's voice coming from somewhere down the hall. "Give Daddy some sugar."
OH MY GOD.
I pulled my blanket over my head and curled up into a ball…right on the edge of the bed. I hit the ground before I knew what was happening, "Shit!"
"Helga? What happened?" OH MY GOD, ARNOLD'S SLEEPY VOICE.
I pushed myself up so I could see over the bed and saw his smirk, "Shut up." I said before he could speak.
He busted out laughing and I threw a pillow at him. "H-hey!" he cried, in between laughs.
"That's what you get for laughing at me!"
He turned over and looked at me like a little puppy, "I'm sorry, love."
Love?
Oh yeah, I'm his girlfriend now.
OH MY GOD, I'M HIS GIRLFRIEND NOW.
Am I?
Yeah, I am. I mean, I don't really know.
"Arnold?" I said, hesitantly.
"Yup?" he said getting up dizzily.
"Am…am I your-" I can't even ask. I feel like such a loser! I sighed and fell backwards on the floor.
"Girlfriend?" he asked simply.
"Uhm…yeah."
He walked around the other side of the bed and pulled me up, "Yeah, I guess so. Is that okay with you?"
I smiled and put an arm around his waist, "Yeah, that's perfect."
OH MY GOD. Haha that was kind of a sweet chapter. And Arnold. O.O I have to say that it took me a while to figure out something for this chapter but finally I just winged it and I guess it turned out alright. Tell me what you think! xoxo
