Mafia (bughead)

Part 17

Betty POV

We stepped into the giant castle like building and I looked around in awe of the beauty. J-"what are you doing?" Jughead asked weirded out. B-"looking around." J-"why?" B-"cause it's nice." I said before walking away from him. J-"wait Betty!" He said as he jogged to catch up to me. B-"what Jughead?"
J-"we should stay together. Aren't we trying to pull something off with getting along or something?"
B-"why would we need to stay together for that?" He raised his eyebrows as in a 'listen to what you just said' look. B-"shut up" I said before walking around the tables to look for the perfect spot.

B-"here." J-"what?" B-"this table. This is where we're sitting." J-"oh, okay." We both sat down at the table and soon another couple sat down across from us. I looked at the woman wearing a priceless red dress and a stunning pearl necklace. Her makeup was perfectly done, along with her hair. Her red lipstick and white teeth formed the perfect smile as she greeted herself and her husband. M-"hi! I'm Mara, and this is my husband Charlie." B-"hello" I said sweetly. B-"I'm Betty and this is-" J-"Forsyth."
C-"Forsyth?" J-"yeah. Problem?" Jughead said raising an eyebrow in a threatening way. C-"no." Charlie said keeping eye contact the whole time.

M-"so are you guys a part of a mafia?" B-"oh uh I thought only mafia people were allowed here."
M-"oh yeah I guess it was a dumb question. What families are you two from?" B-"I'm a Cooper, he's a Jones." Charlie's eyes widened realizing who we really were, and then he leaned over to his wife and whispered in her ear. Her mouth fell agape as he told her something. M-"wait? A Cooper and a Jones together? That's new." B-"oh yeah" I jokingly chuckled as I agreed. C-"what kind of scheme are you guys planning? You really think we would believe that you two are here together?" B-"I-I m gonna get some a-air." I said nervously as I stood up and quickly walked out the back of the building.

I sat on a cement bench in a beautiful garden, and I deeply breathed in and out. J-"hey.." Jughead said as he walked out to me. B-"what are you doing out here?" J-"it looked better if I followed you out. I don't know, 'check up on you' but I'd prefer to kill you out here." B-"you should." J-"what?" B-"you want me dead, so kill me." I said standing up. J-"I will at some point." B-"you've said that many times, so why not do it?" I said as I threw him the small gun that I had strapped to my leg just in case. B-"it's fully loaded in case you miss."

He walked up closer to me and dropped the gun on the ground. J-"baby, you won't know when it's coming. I like my deaths a surprise." He said, sending shivers down my spine. J-"I could punish you for thinking that little of me, but only with your consent." He whispered in my ear before walking away and back inside. I stood there with a blush covering my face.
