Chapter 33: Girlfriend

They arrived home and was seated on the bed. Jenna was on his lap.

"Why didn't you come look for me? Why didn't you stop me from leaving." She asked.

"You had your reasons for leaving and I respected your decision. Was surprised you came back." He looked away.

"Don't you like as I'm back?." She asked worriedly.

"No, you're here anyways but soon you'd leave and never come back."

Jenna was shocked by his words. "Why would you say such a thing?."

"Cause you'd hate me. You'll curse me and you'd leave and never think about me." He lowered his gaze.

"I'll never hate you Arnold and I'll never leave you." She said and drew his collar to herself then she titled her head and kissed him and he kissed her back.

"We could go out to the fair tonight." He said.

"I'd love to but.."

"But what?. He asked.

"I didn't come with my clothes."

"That's not a problem we could go shop for clothes now."

"You're so sweet Arnold." She softly pinched his cheek and he grinned.

They went for shopping and she changed into a new cloth.

"Wow didn't notice you're on blue." She placed her hand on his chest.

"Well it seems you like blue so..." he pulled her close.

"So what?." She smiled.

"I wore it." He lifted her chin with his finger and kissed her.

"You're changing." She pulled her lips away.

"You think so?." He asked.

******

They got to the fair but this time as a couple. She felt they were so close unlike the last time they came here.

Then she remembered he was here when She went out on outing with Ace.

"How did you know I was here that day?." She looked up at him.

"I just knew you'd be here." He replied without a smile.

"And your eyes weren't leaving me." She lowered her gaze.

"I just don't like seeing you with him." He looked away.

"Why?." She asked.

"I feel you should be with me instead." He turned to her looking at her confused face.

"But you said you don't like me."

"Bestie!!" A voice called from behind and Jenna knew that voice. She turned around searching for Lily.

Lily came to her as she hugged her. "You're here with Mister Anime." She smiled. Jenna squatted down to talk to her and Arnold did same.

"Why were you with that angry guy the other day, ain't you dating Mister Anime anymore?." She asked.

"Mm..we.." Jenna was cut off.

"He was my brother and of course we are still together." He turned to his side to look at Jenna who blushed.

"So when is the wedding?. I want to be the little bride Bestie."

"Y..yes you will be Lily." She pinched her cheeks.

"Lily!!." A voice called.

"That's my dad, catch you later Bestie! " she yelled as she ran off.

Arnold turned to Jenna. "You really like her don't you."

She nodded. "She's very sweet. Wish to have my own daughter soon." She smiled.

Arnold listened carefully as she talked on and on about children.

After an hour they went home as she immediately went to take a shower.

She was happy that finally she was with Arnold. She felt safe with this stranger, a man she don't know anything about.

She relaxed in the warm bubble soapy water then she heard some sounds and she felt someone in the bathroom. She looked around to see but she saw no one.

She turned back to the bathtub to see Arnold besides her.

"(Gasps). You scared me." Her heart was racing.

"I didn't mean to." His arms were crossed behind him.

"What are you doing here?." She asked shyly feeling uncomfortable.

"Came to check on You, Girlfriend."he grinned.

"Girlfriend??." She asked.

"You don't remember when you said that?." He asked. Then she remembered she had told Lily about it.

"But she's a little girl and she needed to had won the bet Arnold." She halted.

"Not like you'd like it if I called you My boyfriend, you said you don't love." She looked away.

"I like the sound of it." He grinned and stood up. "I'd be waiting in the room." He walked out.

Soon after, she got out of the bathroom and was now in her white robe with a towel tied around her head. Arnold was seated on the bed thinking about something when his attention was drawn to her.

She sat on the dressing table and looked into the mirror,combing her hair.

"Need help with that?." He asked.

"No, I can manage." She continued combing.

Arnold walked to her and stood behind her. She saw his appearance in the mirror and wondered why he stared at her that way.

He took out the hair drier and carefully Dried her hair combing it softly. That was the first time a guy did that. Why did this man who said he doesn't love do this? He was so romantic.

She admired him as she looked at him through the mirror, he was so into what he was doing that he didn't notice her staring.

How would she tell this man that she loved him?. It's so difficult loving a man that has no heart. She knew she was only hurting herself cause he wouldn't be able to love her back but she didn't care.

He was done now,he looked into the mirror to see how she looked when he was satisfied he dropped the drier.

"Thank you." She looked into the mirror to see how well her hair was arranged.

"You should be a hair stylist." She chuckled but he didn't react he just looked away.

"Are you okay?." Her smile faded as she saw his face.

He nodded. "Okay,it's my turn, come sit." She led him to sit and she stood behind him with a comb.

"I don't like it that way." He said and she stood confused. He held her arm and led her to his front. He made her sit on his lap.

"I like it this way." He grinned as he held both sides of her waist. She knew this way she wouldn't concentrate cause he's eyes would be on her.

She styled his hair neatly when she about to get up he held her waist firmly and took her arms to his neck then he leaned in and kissed her and darn! That was a very long and tasty kiss.
