Love me tonight

Jughead's POV

"Look, I'll be apologizing for it for the rest of my life, but I'm sorry. I am," I apologized to my girlfriend — or rather, my ex-girlfriend. "For feeling like I needed to shield you from the Serpents or... my darkness."

"I can handle it," she said softly, an ounce of sadness in her beautiful, sweet voice.

"I know. I know you can," I replied with a sigh, feeling horrible for leaving her like I did the night she did the Serpent dance at the Whyte Wyrm.

"I should probably... start heading home," she said after several long seconds of uncomfortable silence, playing nervously with her fingers.

"Or you could stay. Stay..."

I then put my hand on her thigh, caressing it lightly with no ulterior motive. I regret so much that I left her that night, a few weeks ago. Of course, I still loved her and still do, but I wanted to protect her. That same day, Penny Peabody had threatened her if I didn't help her. I know what she and her gang are capable of, I couldn't bear to have anything happen to Betty because of me. I really thought it was best if we split up, but I was wrong.

These past few weeks have been horrible for both of us. I, for one, spent my days in bed, brooding. All I could think about was her. As for Betty, it was much the same. Archie told me that he often saw her crying at night, mostly during the first week after our separation. I was a real jerk. All the Serpents, including me are protecting her, nothing can happen to her as long as I am there.

So she turns her head towards me, then stares at me with her beautiful emerald green eyes that I get lost in every time I look into them. My God, she is so beautiful. Her big eyes are so hypnotic, her beautiful lips make me want to kiss her passionately, her beautiful blonde curls falling lightly over her shoulders; it all drives me crazy.

I have never stopped loving her, and I don't think it's ever possible. Betty is like me, she understands me and accepts me as I am. I was a real jerk for pushing her away... I had finally found someone I loved and who loved me back, but I really screwed up. My desire to protect her overrode my reason. My heart was telling me to keep her with me, not to leave her, but my mind was telling me the opposite. I should have listened to my heart, like I usually do when I'm with her.

We end up looking at each other without saying anything for several seconds, after which my gaze goes down on her beautiful pink lips. She then bites her lip, while staring at mine as well. My God, she is so incredible, so beautiful... After several seconds that seemed like an eternity, our faces get closer and closer, until we finally let our lips touch, something that hadn't happened for weeks.

I then put one of my hands on her neck, and the other in his back, helping her to come to settle astride above me. Her hands are placed on my face, kissing me languidly at the same time, without ever separating to catch our breath. Our tongues are soon fighting for dominance, enjoying each other's presence. After a few minutes, I put an end to our long and languorous kiss to come and kiss her neck. Betty soon tilts her head back, giving me better access.

"Wait, wait, wait... I need to tell you something," she says to me gently, the jerky breathing.

I continue to kiss her neck for a few seconds, but seeing that she doesn't say anything, I stop, then raise my head towards her. My look is lost for the umpteenth time in her beautiful emerald eyes. Does she want to stop? I don't know, but what she has to tell me looks serious. She then puts her hands on my shoulders, then on my chest, before speaking again.

"Nothing... I just want you... I want all of you... tonight...

Betty then takes again possession of my lips, carrying them again in a long kiss, this time softer, full of love. During this time, she unbuttons one by one the buttons of my shirt with the help of her small fingers, while I let me make, still a little shocked by what she has just said to me.
