Betty was sitting in her room getting ready for the party that had been set 4 days before. She knew that jughead would be showing up and she didn't want him to know that the feeling of the kiss they shared was permanently imprinted in her mind. So she made it her goal to dress as hot as possible to show that she was over it and it meant nothing to her. Kevin tried to convince her that it was unnecessary to do that much but Betty didn't care to listen to what he had to say. Truthfully she was freaking out from the inside about the whole thing and she was sure that the kiss affected her more than it did him saying this is like a daily thing to do for Jughead Jones. Betty didn't want to admit to herself or anyone else that the kiss was great and it was the first time she felt any kind of attraction to the one man that she wants to hate more than anything.
At the party
Betty pulled up into the driveway of Thorn hill taking a deep breath checking her makeup in the mirror before making her way to the front door of the huge castle. Thorn hill was packed and the party had just started; multicolor lights were flashing through and out the front hall and halls. When you walked in you were faced with crowds of people filling the room as others stumbled their way up the double stairs either looking as if they were about to puke their whole life away or horny as hell. If you walked to your right there would be a huge doorway to show off a game of beer pong that had started; farther down the wall was the kitchen where not many people were at the moment. To the left was the gigantic living room where everything was moving out so people could dance and for the kegs and DJ to fit. Betty walked down into the space between the stairs where you walked down another wide hall with connected into the family room where a medium amount of people were setting and play different games with each other and across from that the dining room filled with alcohol and sweaty guy and girl flirting with each; Betty spotted her two best friends sitting and chatting while taking shots at waving of drunk guys who tried to flirt with them forgetting that they had nothing the other was looking for at the moment.
"Hey, guy!" Betty exclaimed, already excited to let loose and party.
"Hey B. god girl your outfit is so beautiful you have to tell me where you got that top." Veronica slurred slightly over her words while allowing her eyes to travel over her and her outfit.
"It's not mine, I stole it from my mom's closet."
"Well I hate her so much but her style is great," Cheryl commented as he took a large gulp from her drink.
"As much as I love the compliments, why the hell are we talking about my clothes when we could be getting drunk and dancing?"
"Yes, see, this is the bad bitch that I'm friends with." Betty just laughed at the dark-haired girl's comments and she told the personnel bartender to give her various types of drinks. By betty's 8th drink she was on the dance for dancing with her two friends not giving a fuck about the people that were around them. After 20 minutes of twerking and grinding Betty started to feel eyes burning into the back of her head. She ignored it at first but after a while, the need to know who eyes were burning into the back of her head got to her; she finally turned around to be met with piercing ocean blue eyes staring at her from a few feet away. They just stared at each other both challenging the other to look away. Jughead broke first, looking off to the side putting his attention back on his friends leaving Betty with a satisfied smirk on her face.
A large group of people bunched up in the living room since Cheryl had decided it would be a good idea to start up the party game her choosing of course 7 secs in heaven. Everyone was sitting around the table with an empty coke bottle in the middle. They had already gone 6 rounds of people going in the closet and coming out with ruffled hair and clothes and smudged makeup on both faces until it was Jughead's turn at the bottle. Jughead reached out gripping the bottle and giving it a force full spin to the point that it almost fell off the table. It spun around and around before it started to slow down. Jughead thought it was going to land on some random brunette that he was pretty sure he had seen in the pictures of his dad's old yearbook but was proven wrong when the bottle kept spinning landing on the exact person he didn't want it to. Betty's eyes were so weird that a beach ball couldn't even compete; she was sure that her heart had stopped for a while there. Betty didn't prepare herself for this, she didn't prepare to have to talk and be locked in a room with him. When she looked up at jughead he was already looking at her with a conflicted face that seemed to flip between tried and nerves at the same time.
"Betty if you want I can take this one for you," Cherly whispered into her ear saying she was the game host if someone didn't want their turn it was hers, but Betty just shook her head taking a quick smirk before getting up making her way to the closet. Jughead fumbled his way there and closed the door behind him. Betty stood at one end and Jughead at the other. Betty stood with her arms crossed as she stared at the wall next to her avoiding his gaze at all cost.
"Betty I-"
"I told you already jughead you're not getting anything out of me so don't even try it ok nothings going to happen."
"That's not what I was going to say. I was going to say that I'm sorry." Betty just looked at him with an unconvinced and bored face.
"Yeah sure you are, and I'm barbie."
"Betty, I'm serious here I didn't mean to make you so mad ok. It won't happen again." slowly made his way over to her still leaving a good amount of space between them.
"You're damn right it won't happen again. You weren't even that good anyway." That was a lie and they both knew that kiss was better than either of them wanted it to be.
"Yeah right I'm a fantastic kisser and you know it."
"Nope it was like kissing a bedpost except the bedpost would know what it's doing," Betty said with a big smile on her face looking him dead in the eye knowing she was getting under her skin.
"Welp you weren't that good either. Like I said it would never happen again." Now it was Jughead's turn to push buttons. Betty didn't even realize what her response was until she couldn't take it back.
"So if I were to tell you you could kiss me right now you wouldn't do it."
"That depends." He takes another step towards her, practically pushing his body against hers.
"Are you offering?"
Hey Betty, remember when you both said this would never happen again well what was a bunch of bullshit.
Betty could hear the voice in her head yelling at her not to run, but at that point, the alcohol had kicked in on both of them stopping them from being able to use enough common sense to stop them from doing this very thing.
His lips engulfed her in a warm and soft embrace that sent a shiver down her spine. she felt his hands wrap around her waist as she moved up his arms and around his neck. The kiss was slowly getting more heated but just as things were about to be taken to another level there was a loud knock on the door telling them that their time in the closet was over. They separated from each other fixing their clothes just a bit so they look presentable to leave.
Any other day Betty would probably punch him in the face then run off to puke and bleach her mouth, but not today not this time. This time Betty walked back over to the couch with a slit but an unknowable smile on her face to the one on Jughead.
Hey guys, I know it's been a while and I am sorry about that but I just started school and can't really find a good time to write and on top of that I really just haven't wanted to either I just have not been very inspired to write. I'm not going to leave Wattpad or put the book on hold or something but just don't be surprised if it takes months before I post again.
Have a nice day. I hope you love the chapter.
