Mafia (bughead)

Part 41

Betty POV

I stood in shock at the three little words that had come out of his mouth. There was slight worry swirling through his bright blue eyes. I couldn't get myself to move or speak. We stood in that silence for a moment for me to collect my thoughts before I answered him.

B-"no you don't." I muttered quietly before pulling away from his touch and grabbing my backpack off of the ground. J-"I love you. I know I shouldn't but I can't help it." He said confidently while blocking me from the door. He wasn't gonna let me leave until I knew he meant it. I tried to get past him but he firmly put his hands on my waist. He pulled me close and I yelped a little. He brought me into another passionate kiss. I kissed him back until I couldn't breathe.

I pulled away with a sharp breath, slightly leaning down to try and catch my breath. J-"sorry." He muttered with a smile. I dropped my bag and then flopped my whole body onto the floor. I sat with my legs spread apart, looking like I was about to stretch my back forwards. I looked up to catch jughead admiring me. B-"I love you." I said when we made eye contact.

He let out a breath J-"oh thank god!" He said relived. J-"really thought I had fucked up there." He stated with a smile. I giggled as he flopped himself in front of me on the ground. Both of us were leaned up against two big desks in the dusty old room. J-"we should probably go to our classes." He laughed while looking down at the time on his phone. B-"nah. I have gym first block on these days. I don't feel like running laps for 80 minutes." J-"you'll have to make that up Betts." B-"I'll figure something out. I've got connections." J-"you're gonna kill your coach?" He asked with an amused smile.

B-"no! I'll just toss her around a bit." I shrugged while standing back up. J-"where are you going?" He looked up at me, a hint of sadness on his face. B-"we are going to pops. I'm hungry." J-"oh" he said with a chuckle before getting off the ground and dusting off his hands.

Jughead POV

We went to pops after inviting Toni, Sweet Pea, Cheryl, and Veronica. We all shared on booth somehow. We were very squished. On one side Betty sat next to the window, and I sat next to her, with Sweet Pea next to me. The other side had Cheryl near the window, Toni in the middle, and Veronica on the outside. Veronica and Sweet Pea were looking at each other with a knowing smirk the entire time we were there, but they wouldn't tell us why.

J-"what do you think is happening?" I leaned over and whispered in Betty's ear. B-"that's V's 'I just kissed someone' face, so I think that." Betty said, Cheryl leaning over to hear our conversation.
C-"OMG how did I forget that face!" Betty laughed out loudly making Veronica look over towards her.

V-"I didn't!" She squealed, somehow knowing exactly what they were thinking. C-"oh you definitely did! What else did you do though?" Cheryl asked playfully, wiggling her eyebrows a little.
V-"Nothing!" T-"what the hell is happening?" Toni asked, so very confused. J-"these two kissed. I think." I answered, nodding my head towards Veronica and Sweet Pea. T-"omg! Veronica! How did you not text us as soon as it happened!" V-"sorry girls." Veronica said with a sly smirk on her face.

S-"wait you guys already exchanged numbers?" Sweet pea asked surprised. J-"I saw that coming." I muttered before Cheryl brought out her phone showing us the group chat they made. C-"it's called
'the group chat for the better people in the group' and the contact photo is all of us, but you two have red x's over your faces." She said with a bright smile.
S-"damn." J-"you hate to see it." Sweet Pea and I said at the same time.
