My Boyfriend's Lover (A Beronica Story)

Chapter 4: Becoming Friends

Veronica

"So do you think he'll fall for it?" Betty- (scoffs) "please I've known him since we were four.. of course he'll fall for it. He can't resist a hot girl" Veronica- (smirks) "so you think I'm hot?" I watched her face turn bright pink and I hit her arm playfully. Veronica- (laughs) "I'm just messing with you, so where are you going to stay while we put our plan in motion?" Betty- "I'll probably just get a hotel, I mean or go home in between.. whatever's the cheapest option. Money's tight right now cause of my dad's medical bills"

She put her chin in her hand and sighed as I set my mug down in front of me. Veronica- "why don't you come stay with me? I mean I've got the room and it's the least I can do since I'm going to be dating your boyfriend for a few weeks" Betty- "a-are you sure? I don't want to be a problem" Veronica- "of course you wouldn't be a problem, unless you're a murderer" Betty- (laughs) "I can reassure you that I definitely am not" Veronica- "that sounds exactly like something a serial killer would say, but maybe if I'm nice you'll spare me"

She laughed again as we stood up and started walking. Veronica- "so Betty other than having a shitty boyfriend and a sad home life what else is your story" Betty- "what do you mean?" Veronica- "what else should I know about you, what do you like to do for fun I guess?" Betty- "oh well I used to write and I really like reading" Veronica- "why don't you still write?" Betty- "no creativity, no time, no energy. Take your pick" Veronica- "I'm sorry Be" Betty- "Be?" Veronica- "oh sorry, I have a habit of giving people nicknames" Betty- "that's okay, I actually like that" Veronica- (smiles) "good"

We got to my apartment and that's when it clicked for me, I only had one bed.. and it wasn't huge Veronica- "sorry Be, I forgot about this part" Betty- "that's okay, I'll be fine on the couch" Veronica- "are you sure?" Betty- "of course, I'll be fine" she smiled as I just looked at the ground. I felt bad but I knew she wanted to be here, and to be honest.. I wanted her here

Once we got her settled, we ordered some take out for lunch and just got to know each other better

Betty- "so you know about me, can I know about you?" Veronica- "sure, what do you wanna know?" Betty- "how long have you been in New York" Veronica- "oh, my whole life. My mom came here from a small town and met my dad.. well at the coffee shop" Betty- "really? Wow" Veronica- "I'm not usually the sentimental type but I like to stick around just in case"

She smiled back at me before taking a bite of her sandwich. It felt like we were old friends reconnecting than strangers. It felt like I had known her all our lives and I was hoping she felt the same

Betty

I really liked hanging out with Veronica, I did. I got butterflies in my stomach when she asked me to stay with her. I didn't know why, but I did and I wws excited. Once it got late we sat on the couch and started to scroll through movies.

Veronica- "any ideas?" Betty- "um, you can pick I'm good with whatever" she nodded before putting on some random romance movie. Veronica- "it's practice right? I mean for when I dump his sorry ass" Betty- (smiles) "I'm glad we're doing this, I was worried about it at first but I'm excited for him to get a taste of his own medicine"

We started the movie and about halfway through I felt my eyes getting super heavy. I had a very long couple of days and I was happy to finally get a good sleep for the first time in months

Veronica

I was watching the movie Betty and I chose when all of a sudden I felt her head on my shoulder. I looked over and she was out cold, I laughed a little before carefully setting my drink beside me Veronica- (softy chuckles) "damn you Betty Cooper" I turned the movie down a little before adjusting both of us to be a little more comfortable. I watched the rest of the movie a alone with Betty's soft snores before it finally ended. I turned off the tv and carefully got up

I didn't know what made me stay for the end of the movie but I knew that it made me happy inside, it made me feel like I wasn't alone in the world

I carefully made sure she was comfortable on the couch before I went to get changed for bed. When I finally finished my twenty minute skin care routine and climbed into bed but I didn't sleep. I couldn't sleep because all night I had one thought in my mind

Will Betty Cooper ever fall for me the way I've already fallen for her?

I smiled at the thought because I knew that it meant there was still a chance. Still a little glimpse of hope that we could grow old together. To have a family, to plan our wedding together. I was getting extremely ahead of myself, especially for only knowing the girl for five minutes but I knew, I knew that she would be mine. I knew that I could convince her.

I did eventually fall asleep with a huge smile on my face because even through we weren't in the same bed.. yet. I knew that when I woke up I would see her. Her face her body her smile. I would hear her voice and it made me sound like a stalker but it was true

I had fallen for Betty Cooper and I didn't even know anything about her
