Hey there! Chapter 8 already. I have so many ideas or moments for this story that I think this is going to be big one. If... I can keep entertain you guys. I keep practicing drawing Arnold, Helga, Gerald and Phoebe. It would be fun to add a doodle to a chapter sometimes.
Enjoy chapter 8!
'' Pretty hickey you get there, Helga.'' said Phoebe.
'' What do you mean I got a pretty hickey?'' asked Helga with one eye brow raised and saw Arnold looking away but his ears betrayed him since a slight flush was lingering on them.
'' Arnold…'' she asked and he turned around kind of nervous. '' Did you gave me a hickey?''
'' I might…'' he said slowly. Oh boy, being caught in their moment and totally drawn by her soft skin while he had kissed and tasted it, he had also gently had sucked her skin.
She scowled at him. '' Really? Now what Arnoldo? How I am supposed to swim tomorrow?''
'' I thought we could do something else then swimming?'' he said.
'' Like what? Wait, where is that hickey anyway? Touch the place where it is! I hope for you, Shortman I can cover it.''
Arnold saw Helga turn around and show her back. The hickey was between her shoulder blades.
Her soft white skin was did drawn him again. He slowly approached her closely.
'' I am waaaiiiting…will you hu-…'' said Helga kind of annoyed until she felt a soft light kiss on her back between her shoulder blades.
She turned around and watch over her shoulder to see Arnold looking at the wall, blushing. '' It's there.'' he mumbled and she blushed as well.
She said nothing, turned around, grabbed her towel and clothing and went to the bathroom, closing the door.
'' Willikers! You two are so innocent that it hurt my eyes.'' said Stinky while face palming himself.
Phoebe and Lila were giggling at that remark and Gerald went to Arnold and placed his hand on Arnold's shoulder.
'' Bro, this getting out of control. You guys want keep it a secret but those ''sessions'' you guys have... Lila discovered it, I witnessed from close and now a hickey.''
'' I can't help it Gerald. When we are alone something awakens and it takes over us.'' said Arnold kind of upset.
'' We were hiding under a hollow tree and we were just talking while hiding for the rain. The atmosphere was so peaceful and we shared some soft and gentle kisses which led to a more passionate one.''
'' What is ever so the reason to keep it secret? I think you two are great couple from what I have seen.'' said Lila and Stinky raised an eye brow.
'' Are you sure about that Lila?''
'' The reason, we keep it secret… is because Helga don't want to be treated as vulnerable. Also there are some people who won't understand why I would choose for a girl who bullied me out of fear for discovering her feelings for me.'' said Arnold with a small smile.
Phoebe smiled at that answer. '' I do have the feeling, somewhere you also loved her already but never realized it.''
'' I loved her before even realizing it. But Gerald is right. We need to be more careful. '' said Arnold.
The weather was still bad as it kept on raining softly. The movie was called '' The Evil Brothers 3'' , a horror movie about two brothers who owned an mansion near the sea. The mansion was haunted by evil spirits and every month they offered a guest who stayed over. They were now at a scene where a male guest was trying to hunt down one of the brothers and was hiding behind a door.
'' Don't go over there, you will be killed.'' said Stinky.
Gerald and Phoebe were sitting on the couch against the wall. Stinky and Lila sat on the other couch, in the front, Lila laying against Stinky, hiding her face behind his arm. She wasn't still in to horror movies but she tried.
Arnold and Helga were sitting behind Stinky and Lila and all of them had a blanket on them. The rain and wind really cooled down a lot so it was kind of chilly.
'' Oh, he is opening the door. I hope he will survive.'' said Phoebe as the character in the movie opened the door and went inside a room.
'' Oh, don't ever so do that!'' shrieked Lila as the character went to the only door in the sleeping room. It was the door towards the bathroom.
The character placed his hand on the door knob and was debating to open it or not.
The tension was high and when everyone though the character was opening the door, commercials interrupted the movie.
'' Aaah man, why do always have to do that! Arnold, say something about that.'' said Gerald annoyed but there was no response of his best friend.
Gerald, Phoebe, Stinky and Lila went with their look at Arnold and Helga. What they saw was just adorable.
'' Oh my…'' said Phoebe with a giggle and was looking for her phone to make a picture.
Arnold and Helga were sleeping. Helga sat on Arnold's lap, her head against his shoulder, her hands against his chest and stomach.
Arnold his head was laying against Helga's head, his arms around her.
Both breathing softly, far off to the land of dreams.
'' Aren't they ever so cute, Stinky?'' asked Lila and Stinky was just still thinking what just happened this evening.
His mind was still progressing about the fact that Arnold had Helga as girlfriend for many years and never told about it.
First the hickey thing and now this even he did need to admit, Arnold and Helga were cute like this.
Not to mention, both of them had their pros and cons that filled each other perfectly.
'' I might to accept they are indeed made for each other. I never ever saw Arnold nor Helga so relaxed and that even together.'' said Stinky and Phoebe giggled.
'' It seems you two need to watch out as well. You start to talk like Lila, Stinky.''
'' Willikers!I didn't even noticed!'' said Stinky dumbfounded.
While Lila, Phoebe and Stinky were laughing softly and talking, Gerald was looking at Arnold and Helga. Somehow Gerald felt a shadow falling over them and took Gerald back at a conversation he had with Arnold before he left to San Lorenzo. Both were 14 years old and that conversation was still at the back of his head:
'' I don't want to leave her alone like that, Gerald.'' said Arnold while he was walking around frustrated.
'' The why not studying to become a normal vet instead of an exotic one?'' asked Gerald.
'' I can't. A lot people are having small exotic pets and they need to drive hours when their pet is in need. I mean, I can't let them suffer.'' said Arnold in a sad way.
'' Arnold, you want two things that you can't have both right now. Make a choice!'' said Gerald.
'' I can't. I can't choose between them. I… I told her that I can't live without her but that I also wanted to follow my dream to become a vet.
I asked her if she can be with me even though I am far away.'' said Arnold.
'' Distance relationship? You asked her that? What did she say?'' asked Gerald in disbelief.
'' She agreed with having a distance relationship. She loved me since at the age of 3. I came to realize it when we saved the neighborhood but I was in denial.
Gerald, we can't live without each other. I love her.''
Gerald sighs. '' What is it, Gerald?'' asked Stinky when he saw how Gerald was looking at them.
'' I got the feeling we need to protect them. What they have together. It's going to be hard for them.'' said Gerald serious.
'' What make you think like that, Gerald?'' asked Phoebe worried.
'' I don't know, it is a feeling.'' said Gerald, still watching at them.
'' Well, don't worry. You got us now as well.'' said Lila and Stinky nodded. '' We will make sure nothing will happen to them.''
As the commercial break was over and the movie started again, Gerald turned his head to the TV, trying to shake this scary feeling off.
It was next morning and everyone was outside, having breakfast as the teacher stopped by for some news.
'' Good morning class! Some updates for today. As this is the last day of camping, I ask you to keep everything neat behind.
There will be a wood carving course today to carve your own penholder or flute. And think about which pizza you want since we are going to order.'' said the teacher and Harold was already drooling. He even wondered if he could order 2 pizza's.
'' … As for the last update. I am not a fool and I was even young myself but refrain from screwing around in the forest. A forester caught last night a couple who were quite busy near the river and he also found some juices in an old hollow tree on the ground. You guys need to think about college and your future. A baby or disease doesn't fit in there. Am I clear, class? '' warned the teacher.
'' Yes Mister Wright.'' sang the class and the teacher was off.
'' That is embarrassing. Are you busy with your girl, then some old goat caught you in the act.'' said Sid.
'' I wonder who it was? Not from our class since we were watching a movie together.'' said Harold.
'' I heard it was someone from Class 1C.'' said Eugene.
'' I can ask who it was. I got some phone numbers from that class.'' said Rhonda. She took her phone from the pocket and started to text some people.
'' The couple in the hollow tree was more lucky then for not being caught. '' said Sid. '' Yet I am wondering why there were '' juices on the ground.''
'' Don't you get it, Sid? Mr. Wright meant there was cum on the ground. Maybe that couple didn't had any condoms with them and…'' Eugene stopped and was blushing by the thought already.
Arnold and Helga were quiet and didn't meddle in the conversation, for their own safety of their secret. Gerald kept smirking and Phoebe glanced a few times to Helga who seemed her cereal very interesting.
Gerald bow forward towards Arnold and whispered: '' Trying to make the world greener and plant your own seed?''
Arnoldblushed as he stood up. '' Gerald! Come here!'' he shouted. Gerald who also had stood up started to run.
'' Hell no! You need to get me.'' he shouted back while Arnold was running after him.
'' What did he do, Arnold?'' asked Harold loudly but Arnold didn't answer as he kept chasing a laughing Gerald.
Helga and Phoebe were looking dumbfounded at their boyfriends. What did they missed?
Gerald and Arnold disappeared somewhere in the forest. They would return shortly, laughing.
'' Boys… I swear,'' said Helga as she rolled her eyes.
'' Aha!'' shouted Rhonda suddenly and everyone was paying attention to her. '' What?'' asked Nadine.
'' I know who got caught in their act.'' said Rhonda with an evil grin. '' Who was it?'' asked Sheena.
'' You know Belle? The girl with long brown hair? It was her with the guy that Helga gave a punch in the face. His name is Hilton. '' said Rhonda.
Gerald and Arnold sat down again and was eating further their breakfast while listening to Rhonda.
'' They were doing it near the riverbank since there was an old boat and they were in that boat. But from my source, it was the plan that they would screw around in the old hollow tree.''
Arnold stopped eating and was looking up.
'' But Hilton and Belle couldn't. It seemed there was already a couple doing their business. They didn't know who it was since it was the back of the tree they were looking at. And it seems that couple was already close to their climax because their moans sounded desperate so Hilton and Belle went for the boat to start soon as possible. It seems the tree couple heated them up that badly.'' explained Rhonda.
Arnold glanced at Helga and she glanced back. Again! They almost got caught… again!
Gerald and Phoebe saw their best friends giving each other looks.
'' Pataki, wasn't that guy hitting on you?'' asked Gerald, trying to break their silent conversation before the exposed themselves again.
'' Criminy! Don't remind me! That creep.'' said Helga mad as she took a piece of egg.
'' You did hit him pretty hard, Helga. What did he say actually?'' asked Phoebe.
'' If I wanted to go outside with him since I took his breath away. Fucking idiot. I should have punched him in the stomach next time, giving him a real reason to take his breath away.'' said Helga.
The class laughed, that was Helga. Arnold chuckled, his Helga was amazing.
'' I think he was kind of cute.'' said Rhonda and the class stared at her.
'' Are you out of your mind, Princess?'' said Helga when she finished her breakfast. '' He is screwing around and you think he is cute?''
'' He might have good experience. '' said Rhonda thinking.
'' And aids for free as well. Maybe you can pick one out because no doubt he has more.'' said Helga in disgust. '' Helga is right, Rhonda. You better be careful.'' said Lila.
'' Helga, you're just jealous because you are still a virgin.'' said Rhonda with a grin.
'' Doi! That's because I have self-respect, Princess! That you open your gate and invite any Boeing that's passing by doesn't mean I will.'' said Helga with sarcasm which make everyone laugh.
Rhonda placed her nose in the air. '' Unbelievable! '' as she walked away.
'' Helga, was that really needed?'' asked Arnold with a gentle smile which made Helga all weak inside.
'' Yes, someone need to show Rhonda her place.'' said Helga and Arnold could only agree to it.
It's coming slowly together, the story and yet I feel like I need to write so much more for this story. But I love the sarcasm I can use as Helga.
