My brother's best friend

Dinner

I sat in my room waiting for the meatloaf and red potatoes to be done for dinner. I smiled every time I thought about earlier. Jughead. However Chic wouldn't be accepting. Chic thought of everything and everyone as his. So just imagine me with Jughead. That's when Chic busted into my room. 

"Dinner is done." 

"Ok, I'll be down in a second." I said. 

"Also, I invited Jughead." Chic added. 

Chic left my room and I felt my heart race. It was going to be odd after what happened earlier. I went downstairs, Jughead hadn't arrived. Chic was setting the table and my mom was making plates of food. 

"Do you guys need help with anything?" I asked. 

"No honey. But let Jughead in once he gets here." My mom said. I went to go sit by the stairs and wait for Jughead by the door. About 10 minutes later the door bell rang. I opened the door and Jughead came in. He leaned in for a kiss. I put my finger on his lips and pulled him outside for a second. 

"What? Am I not good enough anymore?" Jughead said annoyed. 

"No Juggie! It's just that...Chic isn't going to be accepting of us!" 

"You don't know what Betts!" 

"I'm pretty sure you haven't know him 16 years. Chic is a selfish 18 year old boy with lots of issues. Friends are one of them." 

Jughead kissed me really fast and then looked at me. 

"Guess we'll find out and see." He said. 

We went inside and began to eat dinner. Everything was going fine. Until he said the 'B' word. 

"Hey Betts, can you hand me the salt?" Jughead asked. 

"Betts?! Since when do you have nicknames for each other?" Chic asked a little irritated. 

"Juggie?! You can't just say that name!" I whispered. 

"Juggie?! Betts?!" 

"We're in the Blue and Gold and we're friends! We have nicknames for each other!" Jughead exclaimed. 

"Yeah, you're right. Sorry." Chic whispered. 

About 5 minutes go by until I break the silence. 

"So...um...Jug...I was reading this story about a girl that falls in love with her brothers best friend. It was very nice." I said. 

"The brother better be accepting. When two people love each other, they need to be together." Jughead said. 

"Disagreed. It would be really awkward for the brother. Like, if you guys started dating, I would be angry. I would look at Jughead like a disloyal person and Betty as a traitor. Jughead, I would probably murder you and feed your corpse to Archie's dog, Vegas." Chic stated. 

Jughead began to choke on his potato and I didn't make eye contact with Jughead or Chic. When dinner was over, I took Jughead outside. 

"I told you, Jughead Jones! I freaking told you!" 

"Ok Betty! You win! But nothing is going to stop me from doing this!" 

Jughead pulled me close and kissed me. It lasted for about 20 seconds before he left. I was just lucky nobody saw us. I laid in bed thinking so many thoughts to myself. Dangit! What did you do to me, Jughead Jones?!
