It was a hot day on Riverdale. Classes were about to start. Julia Spellman was in her way to her first day as Riverdale High's new arts teacher, when her car broke down. She got out and smoke started to come out of it. She couldn't believe she was going to be late. Fortunately for her, she was near Fred Andrews's construction place. Fred saw how the car broke down from far and went to help the woman in need.
"Hey do you need any help?" Fred asked the woman looking at her car. When she turned around, he could see how beautiful she was. Fred was blown away by her.
"Yes please. I don't know what happened it just stop working". She said that and then took a looked at the man standing next to her. She was surprised. He was too attractive she could help to blushed.
"It seems to be this thing but..." She reached to touch the radiator.
"No! Don't touch that" Fred screamed while taking her hand out. When their hands touch they both stared at each other. Julia smiled at him. Fred blushed
"If you opened that you will burned your face. And we can't allow such pretty face to burn down." He said smiling
Julia blushed.
"I can give it a look and fix it if you want, but I'll be finished by the end of the day. You need to get somewhere right now?"
"Oh well… yes... is my first day at my new job. I can't believe I have to call to say if can't make it."
"Where is this job?"
"At Riverdale High. Do you know the school?"
"Yes, it is near here. Let me get my truck and I'll take you. I think you can still make it on time".
"I don't want to bother you. Aren't you working?. I don't want to get you in trouble."
"That's the good thing of being the boss. I can do whatever I want". He winked at her
Julia smiled with embarrassment.
They arrived at Riverdale High just in time.
"Well, good luck in your first day. I let you know when the car is ready". Fred told Julia
"Thanks Fred. You save my life today." She leaned close to him and gave Fred a kiss in his check. Fred blushed.
…
Julia finished her first day. She had met her first class of students. It was a great day. But of course the best part of the day was meeting Fred she thought. She was exciting of meeting him after school.
She got out of the building and saw Fred standing in front of her car waiting for her.
"Hi. What are you doing here?" She ran towards him
"I finished earlier and I thought you may need the car" That was a lie. Fred stopped doing everything that day so he could have the car ready for today. He really wanted to see her again.
"Wow thanks Fred."
"It is as good as new. I change a few things. You can drive safely in it"
"Awesome. Thank you so much" She hug him. Fred blushed. He didn't know what to do. He really liked her, but he wasn't ready.
"I don't have much money with me right know. But tell me how much it cost you and I will pay you tomorrow". She told him
"It isn't a big deal. You own me nothing. It was a favor" He smiled at her. He couldn't stop thinking how beautiful she was. She was a younger than him. Maybe 33 years old. But those big blue eyes have him haunted.
"Really? Well, at least let me buy you dinner as a thank you" she said that looking right into his eyes trying to convinced him that way.
"Ok I can accept that". He smiled widely at her.
"Great! I'm new in town so I dong know many places"
"Don't worry. I know the perfect one. I'll drive" Fred took the keys and they both entered the car.
They arrived at Pop's and sat down in a table near the window.
Cheryl, Toni, Sweet Pea and Josie were at Pop's and were surprised to see those to together.
"Hey, is that Mr. Andrews?" Josie said
"Yes! Wow who is the cute blonde? Are they on a date?" Toni asked. Cheryl looked at her with jealousy.
"I don't know. But she is hot. Way to go Mr. Andrews." Sweet Pea said
Meanwhile Julia and Fred sat in front of each other.
"Nice place, It has a cool vibe" Julia said smiling.
"We come here every time is like our iconic place". Fred told her without taking his eyes off her.
"What can a get you guys?" Veronica asked them
"Two burgers please Veronica. Thanks."
"Right away!" Veronica said that and while he was leaving he whispered to Fred. "She is cute". Fred smiled
"So, you have moved recently to Riverdale?" Fred asked Julia trying to break the ice.
"Yes, I moved a couple of months ago. My aunt passed away and left me her house. I've been traveling a lot lately and I thought it will be nice to be in one place for a while" She told Fred looking straight at him.
"Oh, where have you been recently?" He asked her.
"Mostly in Europe, I was living in Madrid these past months" She said.
"Wow. Impressive" Fred said. The more he looked at her, the more he wanted to know about her.
They have been talking for hours. Fred told her all about Archie's trail and everything that happened. Suddenly, Veronica approached them.
"Sorry guys but I have to close now"
"Oh". Julia looked at the clock. It was pretty late.
"How much is it Veronica?" Fred had already pulled his wallet.
"I told you it was my treat for fixing my car" Julia smiled at him and gave the money to her
"Right, I'll get the next one then" He said with a sexy smile.
Julia blushed. "Oh, is going to be a next one?"
"Sure"
They get out of Pop's
"Do you want a drive home?" Julia asked him.
"Don't worry. I am at few blocks from here. I'll walk. You should get home is pretty late"
"Are you sure?" Julia wanted to stay with him at least a little bit longer.
"Yeah, go home. Get some sleep." He kissed on her forehead. "Good night"
"Good night Fred thank you for everything, I hope everything goes well with your son"
