In Your Arms | A Bughead Story

Chapter 13

WHAT YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR, I HOPE YOU ENJOY

Betty Cooper: 

Where was he, walking back into the living room a slow song begun to play. Everyone breaking into pairs as they began to sway from side to side. Staring into one another's eyes. 

"Betts," I hear from behind, Jughead managing to scare me for the second time that night. 

"God are you trying to give me a heart attack," I smile, turning around to face him, a hand pressed to my heart.

A smirk makes it's way on his face as he leans forward to embrace me in his hold, not even bothering to ask me to dance. But I don't pull away, I lean in further letting the warmness of our bodies linger together. As my cheeks slightly heat up, feeling as his hands make their way to my waist, holding me tight to him. My arms wrapped around his neck as I lean my head into the cress of his neck.  Our bodies sway back and forth as the slow music evades our ears. Completely forgetting about everyone surrounding us. 

"We need to talk tonight," I whisper into his ear, feeling as he slightly trembles beneath my touch. I pull away slightly as does he, so our eyes can meet. His irises filled with desire, as he nods his head in agreement. 

When the song had stopped I grabbed a hold of his forearm while dragging him out of the crowded living room and up the steps of the Blossom residence, seeing as some people stopped and stared more than likely assuming something was "about to happen between us". They were to drunk to remember it though, soon turning back to their friends and continuing their conversations.

I finally find a spare room, shutting the door behind me. Tension immediately surrounding us, as I slowly turn to face him. Seeing as he gulps in nervousness. I feel as my blood pressure spikes, just being in a close distance from each other. 

"Jug what are we," I suddenly ask, getting right to the point, my words more than likely sounding strangled as I try and sound confident, not succeeding what so ever. 

"What do you want to be," he finally takes a stand, walking closer to me. Stopping at the point where his face is exactly in front of mine. So close I could feel his warm breath fan down my neck. Shivers run down my body as he continues to stare at me, waiting for an answer.

"I like you....a lot," I slightly chuckle, "but what do you want," he asks again, his face so close that he basically whispers the words into my ear. I shut my eyes as I feel my stomach flutter. 

"You," I mutter, seeing as he pulls away once again to look me in the eyes, searching my face for something. Uncertainty displayed on his, seeing as his eyes land on my lips, just like they had earlier that night. Just like a sudden reflex my tongue pokes out of my mouth to lick my bottom lip, his eyes following every move. Until I feel his hands once again touching my waist and lower back, pulling me to him. His eyes never leaving my face. My eyes slightly widened in shock at his sudden decision. 

"as you wish," is the last thing he says before I finally feel his soft lips touch mine again. My mind and body reacting straight away, as I wrap my arms around his neck once again. My fingers tangling in his hair. As a slight groan leaves his mouth. chills run down my body at the noise. Trying to press my body even closer to his, as he slowly steps towards me, causing my feet to move until I feel my back hit the wall behind us. Our lips part as our tongue's collide, the kiss becoming more heated as I give into his touch. Feeling as his right hand moves up my body stopping on my cheek, tilting my face up for better access. 

A loud moan leaving me as his lips trail down my jaw to my neck. My eyes squeeze shut as his other hand continues to explore every crevice of my body. I press my fingers into his lower back trying to press him completely to me, wanting to feel some type of friction between the two of us. 

As we finally find a good pace to move at, the sound of the door banging against the wall causes us to quickly pull apart. Seeing as Veronica and Cheryl stalk in, their lips on each others as their hands explore one another. 

"Umm," I say in embarrassment, seeing as they quickly pull away glancing at me and Jughead. Seeing as our hair and clothes are out of order, knowing straight away what they had disrupted. 

"Shit sorry B," Veronica try's to apologize, seeing as she glances over at Cheryl.

"Oh hey Betty, what you saw-," Cheryl starts. 

"She already knows, she heard you and Archie talking earlier, she actually told me to tell you my feelings," Veronica explains, seeing as Cheryl becomes less nervous. And more comfortable around Veronica again, grabbing a hold of her arm as she lovingly smiles her way. 

"Thanks Betty," Cheryl states never leaving Veronica's gaze.

"No problem, ugh me and Jughead were just leaving....right Jug," I look his way, seeing as he's trying to compose his self, he nods in agreement as we quickly leave them.

                                                                                  **

"Tonight was fun," I smile over at Jughead as we continue on our journey to my house. 

"It was, surprisingly," he agree's laughing slightly. 

"No seriously Jug, I'm glad you came tonight...if not then, none of that would've happened....and I'm glad it did," I stop as we come to my house. Turning to face one another. 

"I am too," he smiles looking down to meet my eyes. I bite my lip in nervousness, seeing as he notices. 

"There you go again, biting your lip...you know if I didn't know better I'd think you were trying to tease me Elizabeth Cooper," he teases, his hand coming up to cup my cheek. As his eyes brighten, 

"What if I am," I smirk seeing as he rolls his eyes, finally leaning down to capture my lips with his once again. This feeling will never get old. It's a quick kiss, but it's still amazing. 

"I'll be seeing you," he smugly smiles, glancing up at my house. 

"Yep," I agree biting my lip once again trying to stop the huge grin from appearing. 

"Goodnight Juliet," he pulls me in for a hug, my body melting against his. As his arms wrap securely around my frame, I bury my head in his chest. Feeling as my cheeks become redder and redder. 

"Goodnight," I say pulling away from him, staring into his eyes once again before making my way up to my front door. Seeing as he waits patiently for me to get safely inside my house. Not leaving until I've shut the door behind me. 

I look out the window, seeing as he grins to himself. Glancing back at the house once more before making his way home. The moonlight shining down at his handsome self.
