The Pembrooke is probably the last place Archie would wanna be in. However, with Veronica's mom and dad still out for work, he made an exception.

Archie was trying his best to hide the fear of Hiram catching him there. In her room.

"They won't come home until after an hour or 2. We have time to spare, Red Troubadour." Veronica assured him.

"Are you sure it's okay for them for you to hang out with me? In your room?"

Veronica furrowed her eyebrows.

"You know..." Archie continued. "I'm a guy. We're alone. In your room. And-"

Veronica laughed. "You're so cute. But I already told you that."

"I'm serious, Ronnie."

She sighed. "Well, the only reason why you're here with me, in my room, is you need help in Mathematics. Or did you just say that?"

He shook his head. "Yeah, you're right. I do need help with our homework."

She raised her eyebrows. "Well then, let's begin."

Like all Veronica and Archie moments, their study time turned into a makeout sesh.

They were making out like the world was ending. Veronica gripped his hair, his soft ginger hair, tight, just like she always does. Archie's hands were on her face and on her waist, drawing her closer.

It was becoming more intense. But before things go worse (or better), they both stopped themselves.

Then they made out again about 3 or 4 more times before they both decided to finally do the homework.

They silently did it on their own first. Veronica, as good as she was in Math, finished easily. She looked at how Archie was doing. "Hey, if you need help, just-"

He looked at her. "What?"

She looked back at him. "You're done?"

Archie licked his lips. "Yeah?"

"Let me guess, you didn't really need help. You just wanted to make out because you were so-how do I say this- horny."

"Excuse me?"

"Oh my God, Archibald. I knew it."

"Um.. okay," he laughed. "I wanted to-"

"Make out."

"No! I wanted to spend time with you."

She glared at him. "Really?"

"And sort of make out, I guess?" he tried to smile.

"You are unbelievable." She hit his head.

"Ow! What was that for?"

"For manipulating me into a makeout."

"Oh, as if you didn't like it."

She hit him again.

"Ow!" He caught her hands and gripped them tight. He looked at her. "I really just wanted some time with you.

She tried wrestling him but he was too strong.

"I swear, Ronnie! There's no point in fighting-"

She kicked him.

"Ouch! Okay, that one really hur-"

Another kick.

He was left with no choice but to trap her below him.

She struggled below. "Go away!"

"Stop moving and hitting me and I'll be off." he said.

She tried her best to push him off. Nothing.

Archie raised his eyebrows almost saying 'you done now?'

And she just glared back. She had that angry look that Archie found cute.

Again, tension can only be felt. Was it anger or annoyance or wanting, it was felt.

He let go of her hands. She did not hit him, thankfully. He sighed. "I really did just want to spend time with you" he said, still on top of her. "We havent had much since your dad and my dad met."

She was still looking at him like she was gonna kill him. But in a second, it turned. "Why didn't you just say that?"

She now cupped his face with both hands.

He shrugged then smiled. "Sorry."

She pulled his head to hers and kissed him lightly.

It was perfect. Just them together.

Until there were knocks on her door.

Archie jumped off from Ronnie quickly. Ronnie's hairs were standing up. She checked her phone for the time. 5:56PM. How could it be-

Knocks. "Ronnie, honey?"

It was Hiram.

Archie looked at her with panic in his eyes.

Veronica replied to her dad, "Dad! You're home! Wait a sec."

Archie whispered, "What do we do? He can't see me."

V was trying to think. "Shh. Go inside my closet!"

Hiram said, "Ronnie, is someone there? Can you just open the-"

She opened the door. "Hi dad." She greeted him with a hug.

But Hiram's eyes were already focused on the one person he didn't want to see with his daughter. "I see you've brought a guest."

Archie immediately greeted him. "Good afternoon, Mr. Lodge."

Ronnie then said, "Archie's here because he needed help in..."

Archie continued, "-mathematics."

Hiram gave that suspiscious look to both of them. "I see." He smiled. It was friendly and scary at the same time. "Well.."-he checked his watch for the time- "It's almost time for dinner. You should stay."

"Oh no, Mr. Lodge" Archie said. "I am not planning on staying."

"Oh please. Nonsense." Hiram looked at Ronnie. "I'm actually cooking your favorite tonight."

Veronica pretended to be thrilled. "Really?"

"Yes. Which is why I think Archibald, here, should stay." They were now both looking at Archie.

Archie didn't know what to say. "Well, um-I think I-"

"-should stay for dinner. My dad's specialties are one of the things you can't miss" Ronnie finished.

Hiram was raising his eyebrows. V was biting her lip trying to tell him to just go with it.

Archie nodded slowly then faked smile. "Okay."

YAY HIRAM. lmao. actually can't wait for him yass. Next chapter's probabky gonna be a very awkward dinner scene. thanks for reading xo. review :)
