Chapter three: The date preparation
"Yes the reservations are for five twenty for two." Arnold informed the French waiter on the other line.
"Ah, of course Mon' cur at five twenty at Chez Paris. Exultant see you then."
"Thank you." Arnold said as he hugged up the phone. Then he looked at his watch. Four forty.
"Better go."
A couple blocks away Helga was preparing but she was having trouble with the makeup. Then there was a knock at the door.
"Helga, need some help?" Asked Miriam Pataki as she saw that Helga was getting frustrated.
"Yeah, this makeup thing is hard." Helga stated.
"Here, let's put some blush on." Miriam wiped the prouder on Helga's cheeks. After she was done she put a little eyeliner on Helga's eyes. Helga didn't enjoy that. She pushed away when Miriam started.
"Helga it's okay. I used to do this all the time for your Grandmother." Miriam stated while trying to hold Helga.
"You did?" Helga asked.
"Yep, she didn't like it either but I told her 'men like it when they can see the outline of your eyes.'"
"Okay I guess you can put on a little."
After a while they started talking about how Miriam met Bob and how he proposed after dating for eight years. Then Helga talked about all the silly things her friends have done and how Arnold is so dense. Then after thirty minutes of going back and forth they heard the doorbell ring.
