"When were you going to tell me your family is italian?" Betty said smiling.

I looked down thinking of an excuse. I had nothing to say. Looked up again "So now I guess..." I said with a little laugh at the end "Is anything wrong about it?"

"No, of course not" she said. Thank god. "it's actually so... do you speak italian?" she asked with a big smile on her face.

"No, I actually just know some words." she had a disappointed face "what do you wanna eat?" I said changing the subject. Food always made her happy.

"What's their specialty?" she asked with a smirked.

"mmm, the spaghetti, the spaghetti frutti di mare" that was something my mother would cook me when I was little, delicious.

"so let's order that" she said with a wild smile, I loved that smile.

We ordered our food. And we had tons of random conversations. We both were avoiding the one we really had to have, our status conversation.

"It was nice meeting you"Betty said hugging my mom.

"My pleasure. I know you make happy my son, so I'm happy about that" my mom looked at me, and some tears were rolling down her face. She came to hug me. "you're growing so fast son" she said with her italian accent, then whispered in my ear "she's the one"

"I know mom" I whispered back. We pulled back. "Where's dad?" I said looking around.

"oh he's sleeping" Betty and I laughed at little.

"Tell him I love him" I said

"yes! bye" She said hugging Betty one last time. My mom had really liked her.

We walked out of the restaurant. Hand in hand. Just silence. We walked to my dorm. There is where I was gonna ask her out for the second time. We got to the building, and I helped her out with the dress while running up the stairs, we were racing. She got there first.

"IVE WON" she shouted.

"shh, it's late." I laughed at little, she did too. I opened the door and let her in, I walked behind her. We got to my room and she sat down on my bed, taking off her heels immediately.

"are you tired?" I asked her, sitting next to her, and taking off my shoes too. She just nodded. "Betty" I took a deep breath, and in between she looked at me.

"what?" she said with a tired voice.

"I love you" My eyes were watering.

She looked at me, bit her lips "I love you Jughead, I do. But I'm scared, I'm scared of getting hurt again" she got closer to me. I hugged her, then she started crying on my shoulder.

"It's all going to be ok Betty, I promise. You are the love of my life, I will not replace you, ever" I said next to her ear. She nodded and hugged me tighter. I laid on my bed, with her on me. She was still crying, I was calming her down.

After some time, she had fallen asleep. I started to talk, I started to say everything I felt in that moment, I should've done when she was awake, but I wasn't able to.

"you know what Betty? I thought I was never going to fall in love. I was this kind of popular guy in high school. I did so much damage to girls, I'm not proud of that at all. When I came to college I wanted to change, or at least be my real self, and you got that out of me. I'm not the weird guy that everyone thinks I am, and I'm neither the fuckboy that people at school thought I was. I'm a normal guy, I'm just Jughead. And this Jughead is so fucking in love with a blonde girl. She is so pretty, in and out. She makes me the happiest man ever, but I don't think we are meant for each other. Wait, no I do think we are meant for each other, but I don't know if this is the right time, but it's definitely the right person. I've been wanting to ask her THE question again, but I'm afraid, juts like she is. I don't want to hurt her. Betty please say yes" she started to move a little.

"yes" she mumbled "I love you jug" she whispered. A tear rolled done my face. I kissed her forehead and closed my eyes trying not to cry. This girl is the love of my life, juts like my mom said.
