Friday Morning

"Juggie!" my beautiful girlfriend exclaims, flinging herself into my arms.

"Hey, Betts," I whisper into her ear, catching her and holding on tight. I feel my lip twitch at the corner and fight smiling too big in the crowded school hallway.

"I am so, so excited to tell you that my parents are going to be away all weekend!" she grabs my hand and begins walking down the hall, towards the blue and gold office.

"Why are you so, so excited to tell me that?" I ask, sarcasm lacing my tone, as I close the door behind us in our sacred office. It's third period, which happens to be our free period so we have plenty of time before our next class. Not that I care much these days. I turn Betty so her back is to the door and reach behind her to lock us in. She grins up at me, resting her forearms on my leather-clad shoulders.

"Because, my dear boyfriend," she runs her hands along the sleeves a couple times, then up into the hair not covered by my hat. "We were so rudely interrupted the last time we had some alone time and I thought that maybe, just maybe, we could pick up where we left off." She bats her eyes innocently at me and I smirk down at her before catching her lips with my own.

"Your wish is my command," I mutter against her lips, resting my forehead on hers. She smiles sweetly and pulls away to get some work done. I follow her to our desk and help her with our school paper, the wheels in my head grinding away with thoughts of more important things.

Later that night

I let myself into Betty's house and hear her bustling away in the kitchen. I grin to myself. Perfect. I creep quietly into the room, making sure she's not doing anything that will get either of us hurt. I quickly discard my Serpent's jacket, shirt, and hat in the doorway behind sneaking up behind my girlfriend and grabbing her waist. She lets out a yelp of surprise, turning to face me, smiling happily. I place a soft kiss on her lips then slide my hands under her shirt, slowly slipping it off her body.

"Juggie!" she exclaims, not exactly protesting. "What are you doing?" Betty laughs and raises her eyebrows in confusion so I lift her onto the counter and nudge her legs open, settling myself between them. Her eyes darken considerably and her face turns more serious but still exudes happiness.

"You wanted to pick up where we left off," I explain, trailing kisses up her soft, smooth neck. "Wrong house but this'll do, I suppose."

"You have quite the memory, Jughead Jones," she giggles breathlessly, wrapping herself tightly around me.

"I love you, Betty Cooper," I tell her earnestly, looking her dead in the eye this time. Her face splits with a beaming smile.

"I love you, Jughead Jones," Betty answers, and we pick up where we left off that night in the trailer.
