Mafia (bughead)

Part 38

Betty POV

V-"I beat you sweets!" Veronica bragged to Sweet Pea while we were leaving the bowling alley a couple hours later. We all got really close and were already laughing our asses off, with every stupid thing. I had beaten everyone with getting a strike almost every time. I only missed two, and I ended up getting strikes on those rounds. Jughead got second, the Toni, Veronica, Cheryl, and Sweet Pea got last. He and V were walking in front of us and they were in their own little world. J-"they look kinda cute." Jughead nods his head towards the two in front of us. B-"I agree with you." I said, as Jug grabs my hand and interlocks our fingers.

C-"guys we should all go to dinner!" Cheryl says before we all get in our cars. T-"oh! There's this really nice Italian place down the road! We should go!" Veronica moans at the thought of Italian food and quickly nods her head up and down. B-"that sounds great" I said with a smile. B-"we can all meet there." I said unlocking my hand from Jugheads and fishing my car keys out of my small bag.

We met up at the restaurant and got a table for all six of us. Cheryl and Toni sat across the table from me and Jughead, Veronica sat next to me and Sweet Pea sat next to Toni, across from V. We were all conversing over stupid shit, while we waited for our food. We had already ordered, and already gotten our drinks. Cheryl, V, and I had alcoholic drinks, and Toni and Sweet Pea had sodas. Jughead was super boring with a glass of water. Cheryl and Veronica were already on their second drinks, but I still had my first one.

We all had ordered the different types of Pasta they had, and when our food arrived Cheryl was already buzzed. She was on her fifth drink, while I had caught up to V, we're we had our third. The food was absolutely delicious and I scarfed it down quickly.
J-"how'd you eat that so fast?" Jughead asked amused and amazed when he looked towards me to see the plate already clean. B-"it was good." I defended myself.

When we were leaving the building Cheryl and Veronica were so clearly drunk. Jughead walked with me to the car, while Toni and Sweets helped the other two walk. J-"you gonna be okay with them?" He asked me genuinely concerned. I gave a big thumbs up and then looked deeply into his eyes, before pulling him into a kiss. When we pulled apart he gave me a very confused look. J-"betts, how many drinks did you have?" He asked, knowing I definitely wasn't gonna kiss him sober. I pulled my hands up and starting counting on my fingers, but couldn't really remember. J-"okay..." he said taking my keys with me. J-"you're not driving home." He said grabbing my waist and picking me up.

Jughead POV

I picked up Betty and she ducked her head into the crook of my neck. I looked over to see Sweet Pea and Toni looking at me weirdly. J-"she's not sober enough to drive. Do you two mind taking them home?" I asked nodding towards Veronica and Cheryl. T-"no problem!" Toni assured while Sweet Pea just nodded a curt yes. I watched them take the girls into their cars and then waving to me before driving out of the parking lot. J-"betts?" I asked shaking her a little, but when I got no response I realized she already had fallen asleep.

I put her into the passenger seat of my car and she started to stir awake again when I was putting her seatbelt on. B-"jug?" J-"yes Betty?" I asked while getting the final click of her seatbelt. B-"did you know there are gay frogs?" She asked still clearly half asleep. J-"I did." I said before closing her door and walking across the front of the car and into the drivers seat. B-"why'd you leave for so long?" She asked when I sat in my seat. I chuckled at her
drunk-ish behavior. J-"I was only gone for a second."
B-"it felt longer than that." She said before resting her head on my shoulder.

Halfway through the drive she woke back up again.
B-"where are we going?" She asked, while yawning and stretching her arms. J-"I'm driving you home." I stated looking over to see her slouch down at my answer. B-"can we go to your house though?" She asked, looking out the window in the dark night.
J-"why would I do that? You need to go home." I stated. B-"your bed is more comfortable than mine." She said looking over at me and then back out the window. J-"we have school tomorrow betts."
B-"I'll leave early in the morning." She started to sound like she was gonna cry. J-"betts..." I sighed and then decided I'll drop her off at her house the next morning. J-"okay." I caved and she clapped at my response.

We arrived at my house and she hopped out of the car. I got out and walked over to her, putting my hand on the small of her back. J-"Come on." I pushed her froward a bit and she started walking up the driveway to the front door with me. Once we got inside we both put our shoes by the front door. I helped her get to my room, and she immediately flopped onto my bed. J-"You comfortable?" I asked with a chuckle while she nuzzled her head further into the mattress. B-"Not really. Can I have something to wear?" She asked, looking up to make eye contact with me. I grabbed her a t-shirt from my dresser, and threw it over to her. I went to grab a pair of sweatpants too, then looked over to see her changing in front of me. I stared for a second before quickly turning away, embarrassed. B-"thank you" she said smiling and getting under the covers, only in my t-shirt. She closed her eyes, and I admired her for a moment before walking out of my room and into the living room.

F-"oh hey son." My dad said quietly, when he walked in to see me sitting on the couch. I was watching a YouTube video on my phone, since I wasn't tired enough to go to sleep. I didn't acknowledge him, and he could tell I wasn't gonna, so he continued his path to who knows where. When the video was done I decided I'd go back in my room. I quickly brushed my teeth and then climbed in the other side of Betty. A few minutes later Sweet Pea was blowing up a group chat with me and Toni in it.
