"lost in your light" - A Bughead Story

the roof / proposal

- Can I steal Betty for a minute? - I asked Ronnie as I walked back into the living room.
- Of course, Jug. - Veronica answered, giving me a smile that said "I know what you're doing".
I put my hand over Betty's back and walked her to the stairs that led to the roof. We sat on it and I looked at her while she admired the sky.

- Tonight is such a beautiful night. Look at all those stars! - she said.
- It really does look beautiful. You look beautiful aswell. - I said nervously.
- Thank you Juggy! - Betty said as she blushed and giggled. She did look so beautiful.

- Look, Betty... I wanted to talk to you about something...
- What is it, Jug?
- We kissed the other day and I can't stop thinking about it. I can't stop thinking about you and your big blue eyes and your lips and your laugh and how you care and how you appreciate life. I can't be without you. Everything feels so vague without you. I can't stop thinking about you since the minute you walked into Pop's. I know it's early but I think I'm in love with you. - she couldn't even speak but kept smiling. I noticed that so I kissed her. I put my hands on her neck and jaw and gave her a long kiss that made everything light up. Everything around us felt like colors and a feeling of comfort. It was unexplainable and unforgettable. We stopped kissing and I looked into her eyes and asked - Do you want to be my girlfriend?
- Yes, Juggy! Yes, yes, yes! - Betty answered as she couldn't stop smiling and pulled me towards her kissed me afterwards. - I'm so in love with you, you have no idea!
