Jughead POV

Today is Christmas Eve and I'm taking Betty out on a date. I want to tell her I love her, but I just don't know how. Will she love me back? Does she love me back? I just don't want things to go wrong because she means so much to me. I don't know if I could live without her. Tonight, I'm taking her to the drive-in to watch Home Alone because it's her favorite Christmas movie. Then, I'm taking her to the park because she's always loved it there. Finally, I'm taking her through the back and to the pond where we first met. I had Veronica, Cheryl, Kevin, and Toni set up a picnic for us. I know that seems like a lot of people just for a picnic, but our friends can't get shit done. I told Betty to wear something casual and comfortable because I didn't want her to be all dressed up for a movie and the park. I told Toni to text me, 'There is no need for fixing the car tonight,' when they finish because I know Betts likes to read my texts over my shoulder. It was 6:00 and the movie was on at 6:30 so I decided to head over to the Cooper's and pick up my Betts. I got in my dads truck and head over there. There was no traffic so I got there at 6:05. I knocked on the door and when I opened it I saw Betty. "Hello, my beautiful girlfriend!" I said as she walked out with a smile. She was wearing my t-shirt and sweatpants. I immediately pulled her into a hug. "Awww. Thank you, bub." She said as she pulled away and grabbed my hand. "Let's go! We're going to be late." She said, pulling me to the truck. "You don't even know where we're going." I said while laughing at her. "Well, you plan everything at 6:30 so let's go." She said as we both got into the truck. "Ok baby." I said as we drove away. A minute into the drive, I laid my hand on her thigh, not taking my eyes off the road. I felt a warm hand on mine and I looked over to see her looking out the window with her hand on mine. We arrived at the drive-in and she looked at me with a huge smile. "Bubba. Did you really?" She said, grinning ear to ear as we both got out of the car. "Yes. Yes I did." I said as she got into the trunk and I grabbed pillows and blankets. I carried the blankets and pillows to the back and set them up perfectly while Betty got snacks and drinks. Betty got back and sat down in the trunk with all the snacks and drinks. "Here you go." She said as she sat in between my legs, laid her head on my chest, and handed me my food and drink. "Thank you, baby." I said while lightly kissing her head. We watched the movie and out of the middle of nowhere, Betty started speaking. "I kind of want to do that. Just like booby trap your whole house." She said while continuing to watch the movie. "You are the weirdest person sometimes." I said while laughing at her slightly. I then felt my phone buzz in my pocket. I pulled it out and held it in front of me and Betty. I saw the text from Toni and just sent back ok. Betty didn't question anything and I was happy about that. Once the movie was done, Betty and I grabbed all the blankets and pillows and put them back in the truck. We both got back in the car and drove to the park. "Where are we going?" She asked me. Probably because we were going the opposite direction of her house. "Classified information." I said to her with a smile as I put my hand on her thigh. "Fine." She said while fake pouting. As we were getting closer to the park, I handed her a blindfold. "Put it on." I said to and she gave me an unsure look. I gave her a look back that says trust me and she proceeded to put on the blindfold. About 5 minutes after she got the blindfold on, we pulled up to the park. I got out of the car and walked over to her side. I opened her door and picked her up like you would a baby. I placed her down and grabbed her hands. "Follow me." I pulled her over to the park and sat her on the slide. "Pull it off." I said to her as I sat down beside her. "Juggie." She said as she started tearing up. "This isn't it." I said to her and she gave me a confused look. I started running towards the pond and she followed behind me. We got to the pond and she immediately stopped. "Juggie." She said, tearing up even more and hugging me. "You like it?" I asked her while rubbing her back while we hugged. "I love it!" She said as she jumped up and wrapped her legs around my waist. I held on to her thighs and walked over to the blanket. I sat down and she pulled away a little bit. "You're...the...best...boyfriend...in...the...world." She said in between light, loving kisses. "Anything for you, baby." I said while cupping her cheeks and kissing her. It was a long and loving kiss that we both needed and enjoyed. We pulled away slowly and looked at each other. Lustfully and lovingly. We leaned in again and kissed more passionately. I brushed my tongue against her bottom lip, asking for permission, and she granted. She opened her mouth and I slipped my tongue in her mouth as she slipped hers in mine. Our tongues moving perfectly against each other, surprisingly because we've never kissed like this before. We've never gone any further than a slight peck on the lips. We made out for about 5 minutes when Betty pulled away. "I'm sorry. Did I do something wrong?" I asked her worriedly. "No. No. I just didn't want to go any further right now. I'm sorry." She said while looking down, tears brimming in her eyes. "Hey. Hey. Look at me." I said as I lifted her head up. "Don't feel sorry. You've been through a lot and I don't blame you if you don't ever want to go that far." I said to her as I hugged her. "I know you would never hurt me, but I'm just scared that something can happen." She said while letting go of the hug and letting her tears flow down her face. "I would never hurt you. Ever. I'm ok with waiting." I said as I pulled her into another hug. We hugged for about 2 minutes when she pulled away. "I'm hungry." She said with tears in her eyes and face while laughing slightly. "Here." I said as I grabbed a strawberry from the blanket I sat down and fed it to her. "Thank you." She said while giggling. God that giggle will be the death of me, was my thought as I watched her. She got off my lap and cuddled into my side. "Can we go to the park again?" She ask while laying her cheek on my chest and looking up at me. "Yea! Just let me clean up the blanket." I said as we both got up and I started to clean up. She started picking things up and I playfully smacked her hand. "No. I will clean it." I said with a smile. She just giggled and held her hands up in surrender. I finished cleaning up and put it all in a basket. I grabbed her hand and we walked over to the park. I laid down on a slide and she laid on top of me. We laid there, looking at the stars when she started pointing out stars. "I like how all the stars are different sizes, but there's always one that shines brighter than the others." She said as she stared at the dark, gloomy sky. "I'm gonna name that one after you, Juggie." She said as she pointed at the brightest star. "Why babe?" I asked her while I started playing with her hair. "I can try and look at all the other stars, but that one always shines more than the others. It draws my attention and it's like it wants me forever." She said as she grabbed my arms and wrapped them around her. I knew it. This was the time to tell her I love her. "God, I love you." I said to her and she completely froze. She rolled herself over so her stomach her stomach was on mine and her face was hovering over my neck. She looked up at me. "I love you, Betty Cooper." I said as I looked at her, as lovingly as I could ever look. "Jughead Jones, I love you." She said. We both smiled as wide as we possibly could. Our lips immediately crashed together. I wrapped my arms around her waist, her still on top of me, and she held on to my neck. I slipped my tongue into her mouth as she did the same. We made out for 10 minutes when I felt her starting to shiver. "Are you cold?" I asked as I pulled away. She just nodded her head a bit. "Come here." I said as I got up and grabbed the picnic basket. She followed me as we went back to the truck and I guided her to get in. I handed her my hoodie and she immediately put it on. I put the heater on as we drove off. I took us back to her house because it was bigger and warmer. We arrived at her house and I could see Betty getting tired. I got out and carried her inside. I brought her to her bedroom, sat her on the bed, and took the hoodie off. She immediately started shivering so I took off her,  more like my, t-shirt and put the hoodie back on. I didn't put her arms through because then I put my hands under the hoodie, unclipped her bra, and slid it off her arms. I put the hoodie on correctly and pulled her sweatpants off. I took my shirt and pants off and laid next to her. "Goodnight, baby." I whispered quietly in her ear and fell asleep next to the blonde beauty that I get to call mine.
