Chapter Sixteen - Memories

10,000 hours loving you,

We're gonna get it, right baby,

10,00 hours loving you,

Do it every night baby,

I'll put in the time if you let me,

I'll fill up your mind with some memories,

-PRETTYMUCH, "10,000 Hours,"

"Do we really have to go?" Archie whined as he watched Veronica flipping through her closet  looking for an outfit for school, 

"Yes we do," she said, 

"Why?" he asks getting out from under the covers he walks around to sit at the foot of the bed awaiting an answer, she looks back at him suppressing a laugh at how genuine his question is,

"It's school, Archie we have to go," she laughs grabbing a dress from the closet she walks over to the bed placing the dress on it carefully before she can move around him to head towards the bathroom he grabs onto her hips pulling her in between his legs, 

"It's Monday I don't function properly on Mondays, can't we just stay in today?" he asks, she shakes her head,

"Babe, we've been cooped up here for the last twenty-four hours," she says running her hands through his hair, 

"Then let's go out for a walk or something," he sighed, 

"What are you really after?" she asked through a sigh of her own, 

"What do you mean?" he asks, 

"You're after something tell me what it is," she said, he let out a small chuckle as his hands fell from her hips down to her outer thighs, his fingers gently tracing upwards sneaking under his shirt which she was wearing, 

"Why do I have to be after something?" he asked, as his middle finger began making small circles just above the fabric of her underwear, as his pointer finger found its way under the fabric, "Can't I just want to spend time with you?" he continued as his other hand continued to massage her thigh, while he stared up at her innocently, she shook her head trying her hardest not laugh, tough her smile quickly fell, one presenting its self on his lips as a small moan involuntarily escaped her when she felt his fingers slip dangerously close to her core, she rolled her eyes as he let out a small chuckle bringing his hands back to her hips he gently pulled her onto his lap so she was straddling him, he wrapped both arms around her tightly as he began to softly peck her lips, 

"I just want to lay here with you," he said in between kisses, 

"There's plenty of time for that, but right now we've got to get to school," she said, 

"Besides you've got a big game coming up and if you miss practice coach Clayton will flip out plus Reggie will never let you hear the end of it and there's only so much of his voice I can take," she sighed as her fingers entangled with his hair once again, making him laugh, 

"What do I get if I go to school with you without complaints?" he asks,

"You want me to reward you for doing something you're already supposed to be doing?" she asked, 

"Mmh-hmm," he nodded, she rolled her eyes playfully, 

"What do you want?" she asked yet again,
