She took the last drew of her cigarette and headed into the White Wyrm.
The Jacket
She tried to negative through loud music and crowded spaces. People were pushing up against her. She could feel them all. It was almost suffocating but in the best way. It was addictive. She loved the way the leather felt against the bare skin of her arms. The entire room was pulsating and vibrating with life. It was like New York.
She smiled when she saw the bar ahead of her. She came here to relax and escape from her weekly horrors. Veronica didn't know what was worse, the fact that she had to keep pretending that she didn't know about Betty and Archie or that she missed her home dearly.
She walked towards the bar and ordered her favourite drink.
"Can I have a glass of top-shelf whiskey on the rocks please, with an extra shot of vodka as well" she called towards Toni over the music and the people talking.
"Sure thing, coming right up," the pink and brown-haired girl called back to Veronica. Toni had multiple stripes of pink that ran throughout her waterfall-like hair as well. She had beautiful caramel skin.
Toni made the drink with ease. She walked around the small space without difficulty, it looked just like a professional dancer. She placed the glass onto the table, making the ice dance in the cup. Veronica graced the glass with her lips and tilted back. The golden syrup entered her mouth.
"I knew you would like it," Toni loved the way Veronica responded to her drinks. The way her eyes would close, and she would throw her head back in ecstasy and be plunged into memories.
Toni looked towards Jughead as he continued to stare at Veronica, she knew what he had planned to do to Veronica, but she knew the black-haired raven was weak enough to fall into his trap. Maybe Jughead would finally meet his match.
She missed the night she would sit in her old room and talk with her boys. Especially after they had a busy night.
Coming back to reality, Veronica reached into her bag and searched for a packet of cigarettes. She opened the lid and placed another cigarette between her purple-stained lips. Veronica started to search for her lighter but couldn't find it. She realised she had left it behind.
"Fuck", how could she of been so clumsy.
She had been searching for it for a few minutes and figured it was futile. She went to put the cigarette back into the box when a large hand invaded her view. And clenched in between muscular fingers was a lighter, the flame already lit.
"Here use this", his voice was rough like gravel but flowed like a soft violin.
She leaned forward and lit the cigarette between her teeth, drawing on as she watched it catch alight. She took a breathe in as she let the smoke fill up her lungs and followed it with a breath of oxygen before dispelling it into the night.
"Thank you", her words were highlighted by the smoke that followed each syllabus.
He simply nodded his head. And so she began to study the young man sitting in front of her.
She studied the first hand, then the arm that was covered in a black leather jacket. The edges of the sleeves looked worn, this indicating use. She kept following the bend of the man's elbow and watched as it reached the individual's shoulder and then his neck.
He had a muscular neck that had a vein that was so close to the surface that she could see it pumping blood. She noticed the way the muscles in his neck contracted and move as he swallowed.
Veronica looked around the bar and noticed that so many faces were watching their interaction. It was clear that he had done this before, and he had planned to add her to his little collection. She had barely noticed him until he helped her light her cigarettes.
Her fingers started tapping on the bar, she was getting more and more anxious for whatever the meeting was about. She looked towards the large oak doors and noticed a man walk out. He was very scruffy, yet he looked professional. They made eye contact, he looked slightly behind her and nodded his head, she glanced to her left and noticed the resemblance between the two individuals.
He disappeared around the corner, and the guard motioned for her to go upstairs.
"Time for me to go, thanks for the glass of whiskey-vodka, hit the spot", Toni gave her a small smile and a nod of her head. Veronica picked up her purse and turned towards the mystery man.
"Thank you for the company and the lighter".
"You're welcome", was his simple response. And with that, Veronica walked up the wooden stairs and into the office, her father was occupying.
The guard held the door for her as she entered the office. The office itself was almost homely and matched the way his office felt. There was a sense of possessiveness but professionalism. Veronica walked towards the seat across from her father and waited for him to complete the paperwork presented to him.
"Good evening Mija, how are you?" he was still looking down at his paperwork, but she knew he meant well.
"I am feeling fine, Father, how are you?", she looked around the office and noticed the large bookshelf and the chair perfectly positioned that faced a large window.
"Busy as always but otherwise fine", he signed a paper and pushed it towards the end of his desk.
"So as you know Mija, I have plans for both The Northside and The Southside. So to do so I have bought and closed Southside High, meaning by Monday there will be new students at Riverdale High", it was evident by the way Veronica tilted her head that she didn't understand where her father was going with this.
"For obvious reasons, I will not be able to track the progress of these students, so I would like you to be my eyes and ears at Riverdale High. I want you to help sway the Serpents onto our side if you can successfully do this, I will allow you more sway and leniency in our company", Veronica knew this was a big deal. Her father was telling her some of his plans and trusting her enough to handle the things he can't.
"I accept, and I won't let you down what so ever, thank you for trusting me with this father", Veronica stood up from her seat and headed towards the door.
"I know you won't let me down Mija", the faith her father had in her made her smile.
Veronica pulled out her phone and sent a text to her driver. It was time for her to go home. As Veronica walked down the stairs, she glanced towards the bar and noticed her mystery mad was still there, but he was surrounded by other teenagers that seemed his age. One of the boys sitting closest to "The Jacket", noticed Veronica staring and leaned in and whispered something that caused to him.
This caused them to lock eyes once again. Veronica raised her perfectly sculpted eyebrow, and he just lifted his drink for her and nodded his head. And with that, Veronica pushed her way through the crowded bar and left the presence of the warm bar. She walked down the short stairs and walked straight into her car, she got comfortable and got comfortable for the ride home.
Across town, The Boy Next Door and The Girl Next Door were enjoying each other company.
The Girl Next Door
Betty knew that if anyone were to find out exactly what she was doing, she would be hated on by everyone. She knew Verooinca could never forgive her for betraying her trust, she would become the most hated person in the school. But she knew that no one would ever find out, she was careful, and so was Archie.
She was irresponsible, but she had loved Archie since the beginning of their friendship. It began when he had lifted her up after she had tripped over. He was the perfect boy next door, and she almost had him all for her self, but then Veronica stepped into the picture.
She had planned to confess how she truly felt about Archie that night in the dinner, but then Archie was immediately drawn to the raven-haired princess. The moment she had walked into Pops, Archie couldn't take his eyes off her. And betty knew she had momentarily lost him.
But then came the day were Archie arrived back at her place with his lips stained with Veronica's lipstick. She took him up to her room, and he kissed her. She could still smell Veronica on him, but she was lost in the way he was kissing her.
The moment he entered her it hurt, but he was soft and waited for her to adjust, and once she had they didn't stop for hours, she awoke the next morning with a slight ache between her legs and his warm arms cuddling her.
"I don't regret anything that we did the last night", he whispered into her ears softly.
Betty loved the way he spoke to her. She knew she should've told Veronica, but after hearing the plan Archie had, Betty knew she couldn't ruin it for heard a knock at her front door and knew it was Archie, she went and opened the door for him. As he walked in, Alice called out to him.
"Hey Archie, how are you going?", she was sitting on the couch watching the news.
"I am great, Betty and I are gonna go study for our English exam," he said as he looked mischievously towards Betty.
The wink he gave her made her blush and heat to spread throughout her legs. Betty and Archie walked towards the kitchen table and started studying for their English exam. Once they were finished with that, they headed towards Betty's room.
Once they arrived, Archie realised that Betty was wearing his favourite dress. It was a light pink dress that hugged her body perfectly and had baby blue flowers over the chest area. The dress helped show off her hourglass figure and stopped mid-thigh, showing off her creamy thighs.
Archie thought she looked pretty and innocent, she was bright and almost childlike. He glanced around the room and loved how it perfectly matched her personality, she was The Perfect Girl Next Door. She was the perfect people please, and Archie knew she was perfect and that she would help him with his plan.
But there was a catch, he was cheating on Veronica with her best friend and of this ever got out, he would be labelled the bad guy, and she would be labelled the bad girl, and well they were meant to be the heroes of the story, but they might become the villains instead.
But Veronica would be the one to introduce him to the people who would further his music career. Archie walked towards Betty and placed his arms around her waist and pulled her close. They started to sway and dance towards the music, he twirled her around and became to kiss her.
When Archie kissed her, Betty tasted like cherries and blueberries. He reached his hands behind her and pulled her zipper down. While Archie was doing that Betty pulled his shirt off his body, revealing his muscular body. She stepped out of her dress and lead Archie to her bed, she laid down, and he climbed on top of her.
His hands rested on her waist and then travelled to unclip her bra. The moment her perfect light bulbs were realised from her bra, he immediately attached his mouth to her and started to bit and play with her nipple. He loved the way her back arched towards his mouth.
He went to place his other hand of Betty's boob- KNOCK-KNOCK
"Elizabeth, why is this door locked?", the panic that set in at Betty's mothers presenced ser both teens into a hurry. Archie quickly picked his shirt up and put it back on. While Betty made a run to her small bathroom.
"Oh sorry Mrs Cooper, Betty is in the bathroom, and she must've accidentally locked the door", Archie stumbled with his words. But it was evident that Mrs Cooper didn't believe him.
"I think its time for you to leave now Archie, I am sure your dad is worried about you", they had been caught.
Without another word, Archie left.
"Elizabeth Cooper get out here this instant", Alice was seated on Betty's bed with her hands crossed and the moment her daughter walked out with only her robe on, Alice knew precisely what had transpired.
"Elizabeth I expected better from you, you know that Archie is with Veronica. And Veronica is your best friend, what your doing is so wrong on so many levels but I know telling you to stop being with him will only force you to be with him more", Betty could feel the disappointment radiating from her mother.
"I am so disappointed, you better be using protection, don't make the same mistake as Polly has. Do you plan on telling Veronica any time soon?", the silence that followed as Betty refused to meet her mother's gaze, confirmed Alice's suspicions.
"Dear Lord Betty, if Hiram or Hermoine ever find out exactly what you have done, they will destroy this family. You better hope what you are doing is worth it" and with that Alice walked away.
Betty already knew everything her mother said. But she didn't care all that mattered to her was Archie and the way they made each other feel. She knew she was in the wrong, but Betty was confident she wouldn't get called out on it or caught.
But it was only Sunday, and Monday had multiple surprises in store for the teens of Riverdale. Secrets were going to be received. And Veronica was going to get her revenge on the poor souls that wronged her.
Back at the Pembrooke
Veronica pushed out the smoke from her cigarettes and got ready for the Monday chaos that was to come.
