Also, I really need to start to practice how to draw Helga and Arnold.
It was 2 am and while the music kept going on the background, a lot people were sitting near the fire, talking. Rhonda was just out of it.
Arnold walked to her and felt her cheek and then her hand, she was getting cold. He look around and saw Nadine.
'' Nadine, can you guide me to your cottage? Rhonda is getting cold, she needs to go inside.'' said Arnold.
Nadine, who was showing some bugs to Eugene went to Arnold.
'' Grab her purse if you will.'' he said as he lifted Rhonda up and followed Nadine who was walking to their cottage.
'' Hey, where is he going, man?'' asked Gerald, seeing Arnold going after Nadine with Rhonda in his arms.
'' It seems that Rhonda her body temperature was getting down which is dangerous when alcohol is involved. '' said Phoebe.
'' Her own fault. Drinking like a madman.'' said Helga, while she checked her marshmallow. '' Princess should know her limit.''
Harold stood up and fell again. '' Big boy, you had too much. Time for bed.'' said Stinky and helped Harold up.
Helga rolled her eyes. Such a bunch of idiots to get drunk like that. And then you had Sheena, going to bed before 12 am since she believed bad spirits awaken after that.
And it seems more people went to bed. Geez, such a bunch of losers. And they had a game to play tomorrow.
Helga wondered how since everyone would be crap by their hang overs. Maybe it was better to swim, that would clear their minds.
Helga was munching her marshmallow when Phoebe sat closer to her.
'' Helga? Can I ask you a favor?''
'' Of course Pheebs, what do you need?'' asked Helga.
When she didn't hear the question, she look aside, seeing an uneasy and flushing Phoebe.
'' Earth to Pheebs, I am waiting.'' said Helga impatient.
Phoebe went to her ear and whispers: '' Helga, stay outside for an hour at minimum, please?''
'' Why? What are you goin-…..'' wondered Helga before it hit her. '' Pheebs! Are you fucking serious?!"' she hissed.
'' Yes. I am sorry. Just stay outside together with Arnold. Thank you.'' said Phoebe as she hugged Helga and ran away to their cottage.
Of course Gerald was gone already. He would get her rant first in the morning.
It was now Eugene who led Sid back. So the only one that was left…
'' Hey Helga, can I sit next to you?''
… was Lila, of course.
'' Sure, whatever.'' said Helga not interested.
'' Can I ask you something?''
'' You too? Why does people want to ask me so much tonight?'' said Helga a bit annoyed.
'' Did you confess to Arnold?'' asked Lila and Helga stopped moving and look at her.
At that time, Arnold had returned and heard Lila asking the question. He hid behind a tree.
He was wondering how Helga would answer, so he could give the same answer if Lila might ask him about it.
'' What makes you asking that?'' asked Helga.
'' When you 2 finished dancing, you said something and then I ever saw Arnold saying: I love you too.'' answered Lila and Helga sighs.
So they were discovered and none or less by Miss Perfect. Of course she could read lips! From all the people around them, it had to be her.
Yet she knew the secret would be still save since Lila also had shutting up back then when Helga confessed she loved Arnold.
'' Yes, we are a couple… for quite some time by now.'' answered Helga slowly and Lila put her hands together and smiled.
'' I am ever so happy! When did that happen?''
'' At the end of our school trip back in San Lorenzo.'' said Helga and Lila was completely baffled.
'' What?'' she said slowly.
'' You heard me.'' said Helga. Arnold shook his head. '' Helga…so blunt'' he thought.
'' How did… that ever happen? Did you confess while looking for the Green Eyes?'' asked Lila.
'' I confessed way earlier around the time we saved the city back then from FTI. That was a hell of a confession. I ranted on and just out of nowhere I kissed him. At the end of it, he didn't know what to do and I felt embarrassed so we let it go and moved on. No, it was him, in San Lorenzo, where Arnold confessed. In the end we kissed again.'' smiled Helga and Lila her eyes went big.
Arnold smiled as well. That time in the jungle was something else, especially hanging above the cliff, look into her eyes, realizing she was everything he wished for.
'' So all this time… Arnold away from Hillwood, you guys are together? And no one knows even though I get the feeling Phoebe and Gerald are an exception.'' asked Lila.
'' Yes. Gerald caught us kissing so he knew right away so Phoebe as well. Me and Arnold, we want to tell you guys but in steps wise. I know how they can react, like a bunch of hyena's. '' said Helga a bit sarcastic at the end. She stood up and started to gather the empty cans and bottles. Lila did the same and both threw it away in a big bag.
'' Your secret is safe with me. '' said Lila after some time. '' Thanks, Lila.'' said Helga with a smile.
'' I think both of you make a great couple.'' said Lila and Helga flushed.
'' Okay, enough with the sweet talk.'' said Helga and Lila giggled as a yawn followed after.
'' Oh gosh, it was ever so fun tonight. But when I am done, I am off to bed.'' said Lila when she picked up an empty bag of marshmallows '' What about you?''
Helga couldn't return… not yet. '' I guess I stay outside a bit longer. '' she said when she tied a bag full of trash together.
'' Alright. This is the last bag. Goodnight Helga.'' said Lila when she walked away. '' Goodnight.'' said Helga as she went behind the DJ table and turned off everything.
Then she closed the lids and locks of the table so everything was safe.
Arnold was still hiding. He knew that Helga would phrase a poem if she was alone and he loved to hear how she waved those words in a sentence.
He carefully look behind the tree and saw Helga sitting down with a stick, poking in the smoldering pit with here and there small flames flickering around.
If you and I...
Were a firefly...
We will dance...
like stars in the sky...
flickering on the beat...
deep in the night...
a magical sight...
If you and I...
Were a firefly...
I will love you...
until I die...
Arnold had gently approached Helga and closed his arms around her. She leaned against him, snuggling against his chest while her hand held his arm.
'' I also will love you until I die and beyond.''
'' You heard me, Football Head.'' – '' And I love it.''
Their faces went forward and a kiss was created under the blanket of stars.
'' You are getting cold too. Let's go inside.'' said Arnold and Helga shook her head.
'' Why not? Or are you scared of Gerald's loud snoring?'' joked Arnold.
'' Rather the moaning…'' said Helga as she stared at the small flickering flame in the pit.
'' Moaning? What are you talk-… No way? Are you telling me that Gerald and Phoebe are doing it?'' asked Arnold and Helga nodded.
'' You got to be kidding me. How long do we need to wait?'' asked Arnold.
Helga was looking at her watch: '' 20 minutes to be sure. Phoebe asked for an hour, I added 30 minutes with it.''
Arnold made a short snort and look up in the sky as he pulled Helga closer to him. '' So Lila knows. I wonder what will happen tomorrow.''
'' If those idiots do remember anything from tonight.'' said Helga. Arnold smirked.
They stayed like this for quite some time until they returned to the cottage and opened the door carefully.
Thankfully Gerald and Phoebe were dressed and sleeping together in the lower bed of the bunk bed.
They went quietly inside and closed the door and locked it.
Helga really needed to go to the bathroom and took her nightwear with her to change.
Arnold went to their bunk bed and saw the mattress of the lower bed half dented.
He grabbed his mini flashlight from his pocket and turned on, noticing woodworms in the wood.
This bed was anything then safe. Carefully as he could, he grabbed the mattress and lay it on the ground behind the couch. It just fit between the couch and the wall.
Then he grabbed the pillows and the blankets, placing one pillow and blanket of the couch and the other one on the mattress.
Then he went to his bag and took out clean underwear. He heard the door of the bathroom and Helga came out in a simple top and shorts.
She signed it was his turn so he went inside. He passed by and whispered: '' The beds are not safe. Woodworms.''
Helga nodded she understood and walked towards the table and place her stuff on it.
She saw the mattress on the ground with pillow and blanket and then the pillow and blanket on the coach.
She rolled her eyes, took the pillow and blanket from the couch and lay it as well on the mattress.
Meanwhile Arnold stood underneath a cold shower, trying to calm down. He didn't want to do this but this evening made him realize he needed Helga more in his life than ever. The separation made that crystal clear to him. He placed his left arm against the wall and leaned his forehead against it as his right hand went down. '' Helga…'' he muttered, feeling the warmth spreading through his body.
Meanwhile Helga was sitting against the wall, using the light of her phone to right down the poem she made this evening in her notebook.
When she was done, she leaned her head against the wall and was looking at the sleeping figures of Gerald and Phoebe.
She did remember the day when Phoebe had told her that she actually made love to Gerald and how happy Phoebe was.
And how Gerald was blushing when he discovered that Helga knew.
Helga was happy for both of them and yet, her chest was painful because she missed Arnold so much.
But this time, Arnold would stay. No more separations, no more goodbyes.
'' Helga?''
Helga returned to reality and saw Arnold laying in front of her, his head on the pillow and a blanket half over him. Apparently, Arnold slept only in his boxers.
Helga couldn't complain. A ray of moonlight beaming through the curtains on them. She smiled and put her phone and notebook away.
Before she lay down, Arnold invited her to lay in his arms, which she did as she lay her head on chest and snuggle against him.
His heartbeat was in a relaxed state, Helga loved the sound and was smiling. Also she noticed something else.
'' You're cold… '' she whispers. Then she heard his heartbeat, it went a bit faster.
'' I needed to cool down. I took a cold shower.''
Helga was silent for a moment until she realizes why he did that. '' You were…?''
Arnold stared at her. '' Yes, I was. I am longing for you. I'm sorry Hel-…hmpf.'' he tried to say but was cut off by Helga's kiss.
'' Don't apologize… I did the same, many times.'' she confessed.
Arnold placed his forehead against hers and sighs: '' Helga… I want .. out first time…what we dream of. Yet, I can't stop thinking about you. I want… if you want… making out, hands above the waist…''
'' Fair to me, Arnold.'' she agreed as her hand went up, wrapping her arm around his neck and pulled him into a kiss.
A kiss that wasn't like the other ones before. No, this was the same kiss of 2 years ago, when Miles silently caught them in a passionate moment… which made the decision to let them sleep separated. A kiss of need, longing and hunger.
Arnold rolled over, being on top of Helga, leaning on his elbow while his lips released hers and followed her jaw line with kisses towards her ear and started to suck gently on her earlobe.
Helga sighs as her fingers locked in his blond hair. His hand held her bare waist, feeling her soft skin underneath his fingers.
'' Your skin is so soft…'' he whispers. ''….'' A soft sound went over her lips… just loud enough for Arnold to hear.
Yet, he didn't hear what she said so instead she moved her hand away from his hair and took the hand that was feeling her waist instead.
Her hand guided his hand underneath her top, resting his hand on her bare breast. Arnold stopped kissing her and look at her. He swallowed and didn't dare to move his hand.
'' Helga…'' he whispers.
'' It's fine.'' whispers Helga as she released his hand and moved her hand to his cheek. '' Touch me, Arnold.''
Arnold kissed Helga again as he moved slowly his hand and knead her breast. She a soft noise in his mouth and Arnold gain more confidence to touch Helga.
The soft touches, the bit of exploring they could do, it was an experience they only saw in their dreams.
Helga shifted a bit which made Arnold move more on Helga, laying between her legs.
As instincts give in, Helga rolled her hips up and put her legs around Arnold and both moved into each other.
Helga moaned and Arnold growled, both feeling the beginning of the pleasure that was waiting for them in the future.
They were gazing to each other. The feeling was of course amazing but both knew that it wouldn't happen.
One: They want it how they dreamed of. Two: Their best friends were right sleeping in the same room and Helga and Arnold had already trouble to stay quiet enough.
Arnold bent over and kissed Helga softly while he grasped his both hands in her hands and moved their hands above her head.
Without warning he started to grind against her, rubbing his desire against hers.
Helga broke their kiss and a louder moan escaped. Before more moans would follow, Arnold locked his lips again with Helga's as she moans in his mouth, making him growl.
This was like a bite of a forbidden fruit and the sweetness that flows out was so precious that you want to keep it tasting forever.
Both knew this wouldn't last forever. Arnold felt Helga was getting more tense but also himself had sudden for reason some trouble… as he notice that his willy had escaped his boxer, the friction was more intense. But he couldn't care less as he released his lips from hers as he pants softly in rhythm with her.
Helga's face that was filled with content pleasure changed to a face full of upcoming pleasure as she arched her back and groaned his name while she came.
She panted afterwards and opened her eyes as she saw Arnold his eyes closed, seeing his face building up more pleasure and it was the most erotic thing she ever saw.
Suddenly he released his hands from her hands, pushed up her shirt so her stomach was visible.
Wondering what was happening, Helga felt suddenly something warm on her stomach, like warm water was dripping on her.
'' Hel..ga…'' growled Arnold, as he came over her stomach. He rolled from Helga away, on his back while he was panting.
Helga, who was also still trying to catch her breath… sat up on her elbows and saw small white puddles on her stomach. She blushed badly.
One of her wildest dreams, just happened.
Arnold came for and over her.
She was still staring at her stomach until suddenly Arnolds hand came over with a wet tissue and cleaned her stomach.
She was startled by it. '' Sorry, I should have warned you.'' he whispered.
'It's okay, I am actually amazed by this, all of it.'' she whispers and he smiled and placed a kiss on her forehead.
When Helga was clean and both tucked in, they held each other with a smile that said more then thousand words.
'' Goodnight Arnold, I love you.''
'' Good night Helga, I love you too.''
I am such a tease. Aaahh! I can't wait when those 2 wake up in the morning. I got something on my mind. Stay tuned!
