Chapter Nine: House of the Devil

It was a nice, cool breezy morning, I was at the Whyte Wrym with Toni, who was managing the bar. I was in a big, oversized dark grey hoodie paired with some black skinny jeans with the pair of my favorite white distressed converses. My serpent jacket was tossed lazy on the counter waiting to be worn.

"So how is everything with Jughead?" I asked Toni with a huge smirk adorning my face. She gave me a knowing look, but the small smile that she tried to hide gave away her feelings. "You like him don't you," I gave her a sincere look, while she shook her head rapidly look down at the wood table she s cleaning.

"No I don't," She said, her hand leaning against the table. I raised my eyebrow in her direction. She rolled her eyes at me, "I don't Isa, I promised and he has a girlfriend. You remember Betty right, the perky blonde Northsider who he is in love with."

"Don't remind me," I mumbled under my breath but out loud I said, "Yes I do remember her, Toni. Just how long do you think they will last with him on the southside and a serpent." I gave her a point look and stirred my drink with the tiny, red straw that Toni gave me.

"Who knows but they're pretty determine to stay together,"I shrugged at her response, crossing my legs.

I was tracing the wood patterns on the table when Toni tapped my hand pointing behind me. Furrowing my eyes together, I turned my head to look behind me. Sweetpea just walked in with Fogarty. He was wearing a light grey shirt with a black flannel covering it with some black pants. His serpent jacket layered over the flannel, hitting his dog tags every time he took a step. Black boots covered his feet finishing off his outfit. His raven hair swept over his eyes as he tilted his head back to laugh at something Fangs said. Turning back to face Toni I smiled to myself.

"You're so in love with him, it's disgusting." Toni said throwing a piece of paper towards my face. Smiling, I sticked out my tongue at her, throwing the napkin back.

Feeling a sudden warm hit my back, I tilted my head back only to be stop my Sweetpea's chest. "Hey hot stuff," I said smiling up at him. He return the smile, kissing my nose.

"Ew." Both Fangs and Toni said at the same time causing Sweetpea and I to chuckle. Looking toward Fogarty who was in the stool beside me, I playfully glared at him.

"Hey ugly face." I said to him.

"Why hello to you to, ugly hag," He said back, smiling at me. Toni just laughed and grabbed some drink for Sweetpea and Fangs.

"Your guy's friendship is weird." Sweetpea said circling around and sitting on my lap. My thigh were instantly crushed and couldn't breath. He freakin weighs a ton.

"Get off me," I tried pushing him off, but he was to heavy for me to push. He looked down at me smirking.

"Nah, I think I'm good. I'm actually quite comfortable." I flick his arm in retaliation but it has no effect on him. Freak him.

"Please, Sweets, my legs are going to die," I said still trying to push his off.

"Are you calling me fat?" He put his hand on his chest in mock hurt. Rolling my eyes, I flicked him in the arm.

"Yes, now get the off."

"Fine." Sweetpea stood up, but what I didn't expect is for him to make me stand up with him. He quickly sat down on the stool I was just sitting in smirking at me.

Groaning, I glared at Sweetpea and sat down on the table, "accidently" hitting his drink with my arm every time he tried to take a sip. My feet were diagonal in his lap. After a few minutes he got grew frustrated with me. Standing up, he pulled on my legs making me yelp as my body flew to his.
