Both of the girls, though visably shaken from this news, were glad to have finally found each other.
Veronica ran her fingers through her hair and sighed "what's your mom going to say...?" She asked quietly, Betty shrugging in response "I have a feeling she won't accept it..." She sighed softly.
Veronica sat beside Betty and rubbed her back "you don't have to tell her...I mean, it's not like we're going to go kissing right in front of her face, right?" Betty looked at Veronica and sighed "I guess you're right..." The black haired girl smiled at her new lover and asked "this means we're together now right?"
A gentle shade of pink spread across Betty's cheeks and she nodded "It does" she said softly resting her head on Veronica's shoulder. Looking at the time, Veronica sighed "its only 11:09..."
Leaning forward, Veronica grabbed her laptop and put it on her lap, throwing a blanket over their legs. "Wanna stay up Betts?" Veronica asked, looking down at Betty. With a gentle smile, Betty pressed play on Veronica's laptop.
Both of them stayed up until about 1 a.m. then fell asleep on each other. When morning arrived, Betty of course was the first to wake up. She yawned and realized she was still in Veronica's grip. Moving the laptop out of the way, she closed it and tried getting out of her lover's arms without waking her up. Finally when she did, Betty pulled her clothes on and looked at her phone, it was around 6:10.
Taking a pen and a sticky note from Veronica's desk, she wrote
'Went home to get ready for school, I'll see you in a bit Ronnie
-Betty'
Putting the note on the laptop that laid beside Veronica, she hesitantly kissed Veronica's forehead then went home. Taking a quick shower and getting freshened up, she met up with Archie and walked to school with him. On the way, they talked about Archie's music and some other things, when the topic about soulmates came up.
Betty didn't know how to really say that she had already found hers and if she had to tell someone, she'd rather say it in front of all her friends. Arriving at school, Jughead was already sitting in the lounge, working on something on his laptop. Veronica texted Betty saying:
'Hey Betts, thanks for the note, I'll be there in 10 xx'
Smiling softly at the text, Betty decided to wait for Veronica. Betty was in class when Veronica came in, it was still early so Veronica wasn't late at least, sitting at their usual spot, Veronica said "sorry, Traffic was shit today"
Betty shook her head "at least you weren't late" she smiled softly and looked at Veronica "When are we going to tell everyone?"
Giving a confused look, Veronica repeated "everyone?"
"I mean Kev, Archie, Jug, Cheryl and Toni?" Betty explained, Veronica bit her lip in thought "Maybe we can have a weekend with all of them in my dad's cabin? We can tell them there" Betty nodded "Sounds like a good idea" she said softly. Class started after a minute or two.
Once school was over, Betty invited Veronica over to her house since her parents were going to be out. After finishing up some homework, the pair decided to order Chinese food. While it was on the way, Veronica asked "Has Archie shown you his mark yet?"
Betty shook her head "No, I don't think he has one...or Jug" Veronica shrugged "I can see Jughead not having one but Archie?" Betty sighed "we can ask at the Lodge Lodge" Veronica nodded in agreement.
Their food arrived and they ate while watching a few things on YouTube. Once they finished their food, The girls just talked about things, getting to know more about each other.
After a few hours, the girls laid in Bed, both in comfortable clothing. Betty's door was locked to avoid any intrusions from her mother, Veronica's head rested against Betty's chest as she slept, hugging her waist tightly.
Looking down at Veronica, Betty's heart jumped, she mostly stayed awake all night out of fear her mother might come in.
This night would be another sleepless night for Betty Cooper.
