Hey, Arnold

Ch 14: Dinner Date part 2

(Helga POV)
After we were done with lunch at the cafe, and the movies. I could not stop thinking about Arnold asking me on that date!! And I can't believe I said yes!! Oh my gosh, I am freaking out in my hotel room. I kept pacing back and forth over and over again just thinking about him. Phoebe with my sister Olga, are sitting on my bed trying to calm me down.
"Helga you should be excited this. Arnold asked you out on a date!! This is you're first one!!" Olga squealed
"I know and that's what I'm freaking out about, not only that he was acting weird through most of the day."
"Helga come here." My sister patted a spot on the bed. I sat down and looked at her with sadness.
"Listen Helga, I understand that this your first date, and yes it can be nerve racking. But you will have a great time with Arnold. Who knows maybe he has something important to say, or maybe he just wants to make up for the way he was acting towards you from the college tour. Whatever it is you should just have fun on you're date." She said smiling.
Wow for the first time I was touched by what she said, I mean sometime my sister can be annoying, and a drama queen, but she really can be an awesome big sister, I'm grateful.
"Okay, let's get you ready I will do you're hair, and makeup, while Phoebe picks out you're outfit!"
"Wait wha-"
"No time now, get in the shower, wash you're hair too" Phoebs said as she pushed me into the bathroom.
"Oh gosh this is gonna be a long night." I said to myself, but my memory replayed when Arnold asked me on the date. I smiled in delight, I can't believed he asked me on a date. I wonder where we'll go, what we'll see. My heart kept racing, I was so excited to go on these date with Arnold, he is my true love. But I'm willing to keep in a friendship level, I'm sure that's what he'll want.
I turn on the shower and began to wash my body and hair. After I was done I stepped out wrapped my myself in my towel, stepping out of the door finding the little black dress I bought when I was shopping with Olga.
My fingers touched the fabric along the drees. I never really thought I would plan to actually wear it, but tonight is a great opportunity too. I took out my stockings slipped them on, after that I zipped the dress up. After I called Olga in, to do my hair. She did a half up half down type of style then curled the rest. After my hair was done we moved on to my makeup, and let me tell you, I really don't like a lot of make up on me. It's a pain in the ass, sometimes hurts. I like a little bit of makeup on me, but still look natural. I let her know that I just want a natural look instead of cake face.
"Oh trust me Helga I know you don't like to much makeup, so I'm gonna do a natural look for you. You'll like sis. Close your eyes" I do what she says. She begins my make up and I can feel her applying the foundation, blush, everything.
"Okay. I'm done you can open." She says. I opened my eyes, her face showed amazement, shocked.
"What happened Olga why are you shocked?" She just blanked, then handed me the mirror. I held it to myself. My eyes widen in shock. I couldn't recognized myself, my blue eyes glowed even more my glowing skin, I look so natural, so radiant. I couldn't believe this was me I was looking at.
"Olga is this really me, I look so much different!"
"I couldn't believe it myself, when you opened you're eyes, they glowed. Helga you are so beautiful" she said putting her hands on her chest.
"Oh Olga..... I don't know what to say. Now I'm anxious what Arnold will think. But I love it Olga, I look very natural." I got up to give her a hug.
"Oh Helga your growing up so fast." She said crying. We laughed, I love her so much.
Phoebe came in the door stunned when she saw me.
"Omg Helga you look so beautiful, you're eyes are glowing. Just so gorgeous!!!" I laughed.
"Thanks Phoebes, Olga said the same thing. So what's up"
"Huh?............ Oh! Arnold is here in front of the hotel!" Great my nerves came back.
"Oh gosh, Nope never mind I'm too nervous to go out there. What will he think???"
"Helga!!! It's going to be fine trust me, here are your flats cause you don't want to wear heels" Olga gave me my shoes and both girls pushed my out the door.
"Here's your purse. Call me if there is an emergency. ONLY for emergency. Have fun okay. It's just Arnold okay. Love you." With that she closed the door. Damn it! I took a deep breath, 'it's gonna be okay Helga, it's just Arnold'. I slipped my black flats and started walking towards the elevator. I get in, pressed the lobby floor button. I am super nervous that my hands are starting to sweat a little, I just hope I don't sweat in my dress. The doors open reviling a wondering Arnold.
"Okay let's go" I say to myself.
I start walking towards Arnold slowly. Util I was 12 inches near him.
"Arnold." I said
He turns around. With a.... You know a shocking look. His eyes scanned me up and down, now stunned.
"Hey ahhaha." I laughed
"Helga... You look so beautiful, just stunning, I love your dress, you make it look so beautiful." He said. My heart won't stop beating so fast. He's wearing a white button down shirt. Black tie, gray jacket, black silky pants. But what I couldn't keep my eyes off, is his shirt, the first two are unbutton making him more attractive, and....... Sexy. 'Come on Helga!! Don't stare at him and have such thoughts'
"Hey are you okay?" He said taking me out my thoughts.
"Yea. Sorry, I'm ready. Let's go."
