Chapter 8:
The next morning Betty laid awake in Archie's bed, she eventually got up and walked down stairs to get some coffee she was hoping Archie had made. She was only in Archie's Shirt when she walked down the stairs, she seen him first, he was only in his boxers. He was sitting on the couch watching TV drinking a cup of coffee, Betty smiled at the sight of him. She spoke up.
"Hey stranger!" Betty said Archie turned around and got up.
"You want a cup of coffee?"
"Yes please."
"How was your sleep?"
"It was good, but I think it would have been better if you were there, Archiekins," Betty winked
Archie smiled
"Well maybe next time I will."
"There's going to be a next time?"
"Its all up to you Betts."
Betty walked to the living room trying to make her butt noticeable by swaying it back and forth as she walked. Betty sat down, Archie sat beside her. Betty moved and sat close to Archie putting her head on his shoulder and her hand on his chest.
"Betty, I know this is soon but. Would you go on a date with me?"
"Oh, Arch I think this is the first time I have wanted something in a while. I would love to!" Betty smiled
Archie smiled, I had been and hour with them sitting there all cuddled up.
"Arch I think I better head home, I'll call Toni to come get me."
"Oh, Ok"
"Its not that I want to leave, I have responsibilities and I have a shift at the White Worm today."
"Ok I'll see you on Monday then?"
"How about Sunday, Pop's 6:00pm?"
"I'm in." Archie smiled at Betty which made her smile
She got up grabbed her bag and went up stairs to get ready. Betty was done getting ready about a half an hour later and Toni showed up just in time. Archie walked Betty to the door.
"I'm gonna miss you." Said Archie
"I'll miss you too." Betty said
Archie opened the door and they both walked out on the porch. Veronicas driver pulled up to the house next door dropping Jughead off. Jughead got out of the car and grabbed his bags, he walked up to his house he took a glance to Archie's and seen Betty and Archie, Archie was in his boxers and Betty was in his arms. Toni pulled up, and Betty gave Archie a kiss and walked down to Toni and gave her a big hug. Toni gave Betty a helmet and they quickly went off, before they went Betty waved goodbye to Archie. Jughead dropped his bags and went over to Archie.
"What the hell was that?" said Jughead firmly
"Oh, sorry Jug I didn't see you. Ah Betty stayed over last night."
"Did you guys hook up?"
"No Jug I would never do that, unlike you who probably as soon as we left was having sex with Veronica."
"Ah how did you know?"
"I'm not dumb Jug! I've been your friend since we were kids and I can tell when you want to get laid."
"Fine, I told you I liked Betty though. How could you do that to me."
"I know what you said but after I knew what you were going to do as soon as we left, I changed my mind and decided that for once I was going to do what felt right."
"Your right I was terrible. I lost her and I wasn't even with her. You deserve her Arch, I'm happy for you."
"Thanks Jug it means a lot. I gotta go ah see you on Monday."
"Bye Arch"
Jughead walked back to his house and picked up his bags, he was still upset about Archie and Betty, but he knew he had to deal with it. So Jughead texted Veronica.
Hey, Ronnie, I was wondering if you would like to go on a date with me?
Sure Juggie
Ok, how about Sunday 6pm at Pop's?
Sounds great! See you then
Bye, Ronnie
Jughead had gotten a date with Veronica to get his mind of Betty and Archie.
Betty and Toni had arrived at the White Worm just in time for Bettys shift to start.
"So, Betts I wanna know everything, no lies,"
"Ok well first I was never really dating Jughead it was all fake and then we broke the agreement off at the Cabin and Archie and I kissed because of a dare that Veronica made. That's what broke us up, and Archie drove me to his house we stayed there and now he asked me out. I think that's all."
"Damn Girl, I knew Jughead wasn't your type he's to mysterious and protective for my girl."
"Yah your right, plus he got jealous way to easy and fast."
"Now you're into Archie, is it real or fake this time?"
"This is real, and I actually like him."
"Aww I'm happy for you Betts!"
"Thanks"
"Ok I better let you continue with your job, see you later"
"Bye Tones"
Betty was herself once again and all her friends could see that, she wasn't this girl who hooked up with people that were just attractive. She was happy and enjoying life, Toni was happy for her but now Toni needed to focus on herself getting a Girlfriend instead of worrying about Betty.
Betty finished up work and went home to her trailer and right to bed, every time she worked, she didn't even have time to eat when she got home it was just sleep.
It was Sunday morning, Betty had nothing to do in till the evening. She texted Veronica
Hey V, I was wondering if you wanted to hang out today?
Hey B, yah sure I am with Reggie at the speakeasy, come anytime
Thanks V, see you soon
Bye B
Betty got ready and hoped on her motorbike to Pop's. Betty pulled up and hoped off her motorbike. She walked into Pop's to see a Red head wearing a letterman jacket standing at the register, she walked over to him and gave him a hug from behind and spoke up.
"I missed you!" Betty said whispering into his ear
Archie turned around right away knowing exactly who it was.
"I missed you too." Archie gave her a warm smile
"What are you doing here?" said Betty still hugging him
"I am getting breakfast, you?" said Archie
"Here to hang with Veronica."
"Well have fun I gotta go see you later."
Archie placed a kiss on top of her head and grabbed his takeout and walked out the door. Betty watched him pull out his phone and start texting, she was curious in till her phone went off.
Your staring Betts
She laughed and went down to the speakeasy to find Veronica and tell her about everything. When Betty got down, she went to sit at the bar where Reggie was, Reggie talked first.
"Hey Betty, how was Ronnie's cabin trip this weekend?"
"Not good, I broke up with Jughead but something good came out of it."
"Like what?"
"You're just going to have to ask you Red haired friend." Betty winked
Reggie went around back to clean up.
"Hey B, I am sorry about the other night all my fault." Veronica said
"Its ok V I have someone else now." Betty said
"OMG who?" Veronica asked
"Well, Archie." Betty said
Veronica Squealed
"I knew it you two are the cutest." Said Veronica
"Thanks." Said Betty
"B, I have something to tell you."
"Ok hit me with it."
"This started a long time ago, Jughead and I have had a romance for a long time now but when he was with you it was gone and now, we are going on our first official date and I just wanted to make sure you were ok with it." Said Veronica
"V, I don't have feelings for Jughead anymore, I'm with Archie and what we have is something real. I love you V and I will support you with any choice you make, ok?"
"I Love you too and thank you Betty for everything. You have made this year the best so far."
"Aww thanks."
"Well I gotta go get ready for my date with Jughead."
"Ok V, I'll see you later."
"Bye."
Veronica walked Betty to the door of La Bonne Nuit, and they said their goodbyes.
