The Life

Merry Christmas Eve

Jughead's POV
We sat there for many hours. We told stories, reconnected, and I learned a lot about my beloved. 

We were walking home, well back to the diner and had laughs and more food. My girl pulled me on a walk, she took me to the park where we went on the day I met her and there was flowers and Christmas light decorations. 

"What's this Betts?" I ask while I look around admiring all the beautiful decorations. 

"Your Christmas present." She says holding her breath like she was nervous. 

I turn around and she held a book. 

I look at the book again and I realize that it's mine. A hardcover copy of "Is It Love or Is It War." 

My face drops and I'm speechless after a while I manage to muster up a few words. 

"Betty... What is that?" 

"Love, it's your book." She smiles and hands me the book. 

"Look Jughead, I have never knew anyone who words as hard as you... You never stop working at the diner. You work so many hours and then on your free time you spent all of it writing this." 

She slams her pointer finger on the book. 

"Babe, I see you spend countless hours. You never stop. So I met with a different publicist. She loved it and wants to meet with you to find a date to release your book. Babe your book is going to be in stores!" 

"Oh my God!" I jump and our faces meet and we kiss in excitement. 

"I know that you might wanna choose a different cover or..." 

"Shhh it's perfect...I love you." I say cutting her off. 

"I love you too." She says.
