Stupid writing blockage. I was really stuck for a while with this chapter. But it's resolved and I can say I'm satisfied.
Warning: there is sexual content present in this chapter.
Helga was wearing Arnold's checkered red shirt as a nightgown.
Even though Arnold knew every birthmark on her skin, every sensitive spot on her body, Helga was still the most beautiful creature in his life.
But having Helga in his shirt trumped everything at this moment.
All Arnold could say was:
"What are you doing with my shirt?"
Helga, seeing his reaction, laughed a little and placed her hand on her hip and rocked her hip in a sensual movement.
"Isn't it that every girl dreams of wearing her lover's garment for a night?"
Arnold closed his eyes and placed his hand in front of his face and sighed, she had him in her grasp.
Helga grinned, she had it! Now Arnold couldn't ignore her anymore. Phoebe was right, guys quickly give in when their girlfriend dresses like that.
Arnold looked up again and walked over to Helga and placed a kiss on her cheek which Helga received with love. Arnold always gave soft kisses, never hard or rough.
Arnold slowly moved his mouth to her ear. She felt his warm breath sliding over her skin. Arnold whispered softly in her ear:
"We both know we're going to end up naked. Helga, why of all the clothes, why my shirt?"
Helga shuddered. That voice of his too! Arnold smiled and ran his fingers down her spine, giving Helga goose bumps.
''Where is my answer, Pataki...''
"Are we going to play it like this, Football Head?"
Out of nowhere, Arnold started tickling Helga and Helga screamed.
''Arnold! Don't tickle!'
"I can't hear you..." Arnold laughed.
In the living room downstairs, Phil, Gertie, Miles, Stella and Ernie looked up to hear Arnold and Helga's laughter.
"It sounds like it's back to normal." Stella said with a smile.
"Should I turn on the television?" Phil chuckled.
"Dad, we never heard them," Miles said.
"Boy, those two have been dry for almost 2 months, they're going to catch up, I tell you!" said Phil.
''I can only agree with that old man.'' Ernie laughed.
"There's a pack of special condoms wasting away because both of them are too modest," Miles said.
''You mean that little package on the third shelf from the left? Hahahahahahaha then you're in for a show tonight!'' Phil roared with laughter.
"Phil, what have you been up to?" Pookie asked.
''Nothing, Pookie! Hahahahahah okay okay. I put those special condoms in the normal package.'' Phil laughed.
Stella and Miles covered their faces and Ernie laughed loudly.
''It's a good thing that Mr. Hyunh is spending the night with his daughter tonight.'' Ernie laughed.
''Oooh! That means I can now turn the thermostat down a few degrees.'' Pookie said as she stood up and walked to the thermostat.
"Why would you do that, Mom?" Miles asked.
"It'll be warm in there soon, son." Pookie said with a devilish laugh and Phil and Ernie rolled on the floor laughing.
Stella couldn't contain her laughter anymore and started laughing too and Miles gave up and laughed along.
When everyone has recovered from the fun, they turn on the television. When Phil zaps through all the channels, they come to a South American channel that is about San Lorenzo and current events.
'' ... that the organization ensures that piracy stops, it remains dangerous to take certain rivers in a small group. The largest pirate group still belongs to the late Lasombre. His son La Noche is currently in prison, but according to the prison guards, he is still in good control...''
'' Unbelievably, he is behind bars, he can still arrange things. How is that possible?!'' Ernie wondered.
"The prison of San Lorenzo is well guarded. The only method could be a pigeon..." Stella said.
''He's behind bars, that's what matters.'' Miles said.
'' ...Hmmm...''
Arnold sat up and took the box from his bedside table while he looked at Helga who was panting softly.
The foreplay was tender and playful. Without looking, Arnold takes out a condom and tears open the package and throws it in the trash can next to their bed.
When Arnold finished rolling out the condom he lay over Helga and kissed her neck and jawline. He slowly merged himself with Helga.
After a few moments, a sensation came over both of them and Arnold and Helga looked at each other in surprise, what happened now?
It was warm, it was cold, a tingling sensation that was present between the two and the longer Arnold moved, the more sensation was released.
"Arnold, what's happening?" Helga asked uncertainly.
"I don't know..." said Arnold who sat up without losing contact with his Helga and took the box and looked at it.
It was the standard, the one Arnold always used. He grabbed the remaining packs of condoms and looked at the packaging and saw 2 packs that were a different color.
He looked at what it said: tingle. He sighed and placed the packages back in the box. He could only think of one person who had done this.
He looked at Helga and then grinned. His grandpa wanted a show? Then he would get a show.
''What are you grinning about, Arnoldo? Why does it feel like there is toothpaste between us?'' Helga asked a little anxiously.
''That old man did something... Those special condoms that I bought but that neither of us dared to use? Thanks to that old man, I now have one on.' 'Helga's eyes widened and she stood up a little.
"Are you going to tell me, after those weeks that we had to hold back, already full of desires, we now have some extra fun between us?" Helga asked in disbelief.
Arnold nodded and slowly went back down and gently kissed Helga on the lips. "If it starts to hurt, tell me..."
'' Yes. Arnold, please move, I long for your love…."
"My beautiful Helga..."
It didn't take long for Arnold to find a rhythm that was received with pleasure by Helga.
Arnold wanted to keep it romantic like always but that rubber made it almost impossible.
It took all his willpower not to push himself to the limit. He stopped moving and took a little break.
''Arnold?''
"Just a moment, otherwise I'll lose myself..."
Helga smiled and gently stroked Arnold's arm.
''Babe, please get lost in me...''
"Dear, are you sure about that?"
'' Very sure...''
'' Turn around...''
Helga turned over and lay flat on her stomach, with her hips slightly raised in the air. Arnold joined Helga and lay half on top of her, one arm around her waist, the other raised, his hand in hers. His lips against the skin of her shoulder and cheek. ''Helga, I love you.''
''I love you, Arnold.''
Then Arnold started moving.
"Phil, if you eat too many raspberries you will be in the toilet again tomorrow," said Ernie.
''Can't help it, I just like them.'' said Phil.
"What channel was that movie on again, Stella?" Gertie asked as she zapped.
''On Channel 87, Mom. Let's see, we have drinks, snacks, Miles is making the popcorn..." Stella summed up when Miles comes in with a red head like a beetroot.
''What have you got again, Miles? Allergic reaction?'' Ernie asked. Miles said nothing and walked over to the TV and turned off the sound.
It took a while, everything became silent until Phil, Gertie, Stella and Ernie heard what was going on.
Soft cracking sounds could be heard with connected sounds from Arnold and Helga.
The five of them walked from the living room to the stairs and looked upstairs where the sounds also became louder. The group looked at each other with red cheeks.
Yes, they had been young too, but this was a moment... they were speechless.
The quiet couple who were modest in their fairytale relationship had crossed boundaries and what kind of boundaries?!
The rhythm of sounds suddenly went very fast and then it was completely silent.
Daily life returned now that Arnie was gone. Two hours of free time had been announced before it was announced where everyone was going for the school trip.
Arnold, Gerald, Stinky and Hilton sat together. Arnold and Gerald had asked Hilton to sit in since Daryll was home sick. Daryll had partied a little too hard over the weekend.
When Arnold goes to get a drink, Gerald looks at his best friend. It looked like Arnold was in pain.
Hilton starts to grin when he sees Gerald looking like that.
"Muscle pain, I think Arnold and Helga have caught up a bit." Hilton said.
"Ah! Of course." Gerald said as he also starts grinning.
"Shall we ask him when he comes back?" asked Stinky who couldn't stop grinning either.
Teasing Arnold about sex was always fun, he remained shy!
Arnold came back with drinks and gave everyone their cans and sat down.
He saw his friends looking at him and felt a little awkward.
" What is going on?" Arnold asked.
" Willikers! Do we really have to ask that?" Stinky asked, laughing.
"You're suffering from muscle pain and we all know Arnie has gone home so..." Gerald said and saw Arnold blush.
"Okay, Helga and I had sex, so what?" Arnold said, blushing.
"No, no, no, you can't just get out of it." Hilton said, laughing.
Arnold buried his face in his arms.
"We can also ask Grandpa Phil." said Stinky.
Arnold almost had a stroke when he heard that.
" NO! I'll tell you okay? I took the wrong condom okay?" Arnold said and the boys started chuckling.
"How can you get the wrong one?"
"My grandfather had put the tingle variant in the regular box. Once when we...were...making love..." Arnold mumbled.
"Yes, tell me..."
"...we...lost...our...control..."
Arnold whispered the last sentence and Gerald, Stinky and Hilton burst out laughing, until tears fell down their cheeks.
''Oh my God, your grandpa is truly a genius. Otherwise you would never have done that.'' Stinky burst out.
''It really wasn't fun this morning! Coming into the kitchen and all those comments!'' Arnold snapped.
"That's what I wanted to hear." Gerald laughed.
"Otherwise I do!" Hilton said afterward.
''Oh yes of course. It's really not nice to hear your grandfather say: You have to ask for your money back, Shortman. The packaging said tingle. I didn't hear anything yesterday or your balls are small.'' Arnold said embarrassed.
Gerald fell off his chair laughing and rolled on the floor. Hilton was laughing while holding his stomach and Stinky had coke coming out of his nostrils from laughing.
"What are the boys up to?" asked Belle and Phoebe, Helga and Lila looked at the group of four boys, three boys who were laughing and one who hid in his physics book.
Helga saw Arnold and knew enough. When Helga wants to get back to writing, Lila suddenly asks:
"Helga, after Arnie went home, did you go to Arnold?"
Helga couldn't hide her blush and shook her head yes and quickly opened her mouth:
''Shut up and continue learning.''
The girls started giggling as they continued with their homework, surely they would hear it.
On the other side of the cafeteria sat Rhonda, Harold, Sid and Nadine with a lot of question marks.
What had happened in such a short period of time? Arnold who doesn't invite anyone to his room.
Helga who already has a job as a script writer. Hilton and Belle, who are separated, still hang out with each other and even with Arnold and Helga and everyone else.
''Rhonda, we can't even go up the fire escape anymore. Grandpa Phil put a new sliding staircase on it so burglars can't get in easily.'' said Sid.
"Didn't you notice anything else?" Rhonda asked and Sid and Harold shook their heads no.
''Except Arnold blushes a lot when you talk about his secret girlfriend.'' Sid said.
'' What?! He has a girlfriend?'' Rhonda said in surprise.
''Come on Rhonda, you were there with that fight in the cafeteria. According to Arnie, Arnold has a girlfriend but he doesn't talk about it except to Gerald.'' Harold said.
"Nadine, what do you think about it and please stop playing with those scary animals of yours?" Rhonda said irritated.
Nadine who was working on a stick insect looked at Rhonda and said:
''Rhonda, Arnold will tell you who his girlfriend is one day. We all know he is very shy.'' Nadine replied.
''That's true, Rhonda. Maybe except for Eugene and Sheena.'' Sid said.
''By the way, have you asked Hilton out yet? Maybe you have a better chance now that he's single.'' Harold said and Rhonda sighed.
'' Several times already. But he rejects me every time. That he needs time for himself right now.'' Rhonda said.
''Then give him that time. Harold also needed some time when Patty broke off the relationship.'' Sid said and Rhonda choked on her sandwich.
'' What?! You and Patty broke up? For how long?'' Rhonda asked and Harold shrugged.
''I think about 3 months now? Next year Patty will study at a private school that also teaches etiquette to women. That is in Canada. A long distance relationship is not for either of us. A painful but good decision.'' said Harold.
''Wow, I didn't expect that from either of you, what a brave move.'' Nadine said and Rhonda rolled her eyes.
''Thank you Nadine. It was quiet at first, but it's nice to be single again at the moment.'' Harold said.
Suddenly everyone's cell phones went off, signaling that a message had arrived.
That could only mean one thing: It was announced where the school trip was going.
Arnold picked up his phone and went to the mailbox and opened the email:
''Dear Mr. Shortman,
We would like to announce that the first-year students will be making their school trip to:
SAN LORENZO
Correspondence cannot be entered into about the results.
If you have any questions, please email us."
Arnold looked up at Gerald, Hilton and Stinky:
"Is this a curse?"
Not San Lorenzo again! My goodness, to what does Arnold owe this.
But you would have Grandpa as Phil, behave for once!
I hope with this chapter, you readers have been entertained again.
On to the final chapter of season 2!
