CHAPTER SIX
"Showers help me think."

"Do you think that maybe if your dad had a better lawyer, he would serve less time? Because the deal his current lawyer got him sucks," Marley said while her and Jughead walked back to her house.

"Yes definitely. We just haven't got any money for a better lawyer," Jughead said and Marley nodded. Once they got to her house she climbed up the porch steps and unlocked the front door, no one was home.

Her and Jughead walked up to her room. Marley sat Jughead down on the bed before shrugging off her jacket. She kneeled down on the floor before forcefully pulling out one of the floorboards while Jughead just looked at her in confusion.

"Marls-" Jughead began but Marley just hushed him before pulling out a brown box. She pulled open the lid and handing Jughead the box. Jughead took a look in the box and gasped.

"Where did you get all this money from?" Jughead asked looking at the bills in shock. There was at least thirty thousand in the box.

"Ever since I've came to Riverdale I've been saving. Then there's money from the art sale in there, pocket money from my aunt and my allowance from Lena and her husband in there too. The silly twats give me two thousand a week. I've just been saving it-" Marley said and she was interrupted by Jughead.

"Why? Why have you been saving it?" Jughead asked and Marley shrugged.

"In case I ever have to leave Riverdale. Jug, we can use that money to get your dad a lawyer, a good one. We can hire the lawyer that got Hiram out of jail-" Marley said but Jughead interrupted her again.

"I can't use your money, Ro," Jughead said and Marley shot him a look.

"Yes, you can. I'm giving it to you. We can get your dad a fucking amazing lawyer," Marley said and Jughead shook his head before putting the lid back into the box and standing up.

"I'm not using it, Ro. I'll figure something out. Keep your money, keep saving, you might need it," Jughead said while putting the money back underneath the floorboard.

"At least think about it?" Marley said while sitting down on the bed and Jughead sighed before sitting down next to her.

"I've thought about it. I'm not using it," Jughead said and Marley sighed before standing up.

"Just keep thinking. Showers help you think," Marley said and Jughead shook his head.

"I don't feel like showering," Jughead said and Marley looked at him while unbuttoning her shirt.

"Are you sure? Because that's fine, but I feel like having a shower," Marley said while throwing her shirt on the bed and Jughead just looked at her chest before shaking her head.

"Nope, don't feel like showering," Jughead said and Marley shrugged before unbuttoning her jeans and taking them off leaving her in a bra and underwear.

"I can't force you can I? Feel free to sit here and stare and my beautiful hand painted ceiling," Marley said before walking to her bathroom and Jughead heard the shower run and playfully shook his head at his girlfriend.

Seconds later Marley stuck her head around the door and looked at Jughead.

"There's plenty of space in here, just letting you know," Marley said before going back into the bathroom. Jughead groaned before pulling his beanie off of his head and pulling his shirt off.

He walked into the bathroom and kicked his jeans off before stepping into the shower with Marley and Marley laughed before pushing her wet curls out of her face.
