Lost Boy

Staying The Night

Betty's POV
After Jug and I's date we went to his apartment. After greeting everyone I decided to head to V's. They live about three apartments apart. I was so excited to share everything about our date and tell her about the promise ring. Well not exactly everything but I was excited to share all the cute moments and freak out over them with her. After all she is my best friend. "Hey B!" She said.

"Hi V. Is it ok if I come in?" I asked.

"Yeah. Of course." She Said opening the door wider so I could come in. We walked in and sat on the couch. "I expect you're here for some girl on girl talk? Am I right?" She Asked with a smirk.

"Yes... you are." I Said smiling.

"Well... What has your knight and shining armor done to please you now? Your Romeo in other words." She Asked.

"He took my on a date today. And he gave me a promise ring." I Said holding out my hand. She squealed in delight and took my hand in hers. She looked at the ring and grinned.

"Wow this thing is expensive b." She gasped.

"Really?! How expensive?!" I Asked quickly.

"I don't know 1,300 maybe. Or 1,500." She Said nonchalantly.

"What?!" I exclaimed. "No no no. He couldn't have. I don't want him spending so much on me. He refused to tell me how much it was." I Said sighing.

"B chill. Tell me all about your date then you can yell at you man. Now spill." She said excitedly.

"Ok. First he drove us to the beach  and we went swimming and shopping and tanning and eating. Basically everything. It was so much fun. Then when it got late he led me to the car and opened the trunk and there were blankets and pillows and flowers in the trunk. And he set up the car so we could watch the sunset. So we sat in the trunk cuddling watching the sun set. It was amazing V." I Said happily.

"Omg B! That sounds so cute!" She squealed.
"You are so lucky! Jughead is so sweet to you! I love Archie but I don't think he'd ever do that for me." She Said

"I think he would. Anyway. That's all that happened but it was great." I sighed.

"That's amazing B. Now... go talk to your Romeo about spending so much on your ring." She Said with a chuckle.

"Ok. Bye V! I'll talk to you later." I Said.

"Bye!" She Said as I walked out. I walked out and left to Jugheads apartment. I walked in and he immediately approached me.

"Hey Betts." He said leaning in for a kiss.

"No no No. tell me how much you spent on this ring." I Said holding my hand in front of his face.

"Betts you know I'm not going to tell you." He Said.

"Jug. I told Veronica and she looked at my ring. She said it was 1,300. Or 1,500." I Said.

"Fine! It was 1,300. Just please don't worry about it." He Said.

"Jug! Why would you spend so much on me?" I Asked.

"Because I love you. And it's fine. I got a job in Toledo and I work at pops here. I also had some money saved. So it's fine." He Said pulling me into a hug.

"No it's not. It's so much." I Said into his shoulder.

"It isn't enough for the amount of joy you bring me." He Said. I smiled widely and I could feel the smile on his face as well. "I love you betts. Why don't we get to bed." He suggested. He kissed my head and pulled away. "You tired?" he asked.

"Yeah. Yeah I'm pretty tired after the long day we've had." I said yawning.

"Ok. Lets head to bed. Are you hungry? You sure you don't want to eat first?" He asked.

"I'm ok Jug." I said giggling. He smiled and grabbed my hand, walking us to his room. Everyone else had already went to bed. As we laid in bed I could feel jugheads eyes on me. "What are you looking at?" I asked, my eyes still shut.

"Nothing." He said. I looked up at him and I could see the slight blush creeping on his cheeks. I giggled and pulled his head down to peck him on the lips. He was sitting up with his back resting on the head board and I was laying down. He was working on his book. He grinned widely and returned to his laptop.

"How's the book coming along?" I asked.

"Good. Get some rest betts." He said kissing my cheek.

"Can't you stop working on the novel for a little and cuddle with me? Please?" I begged.

"I've been having writers block for the longest time and its finally gone. Can you give me a quick sentence so I can finish off this idea? I promise it'll only be a bit then I'll cuddle with you." he said.

"Oh, yeah. It's fine. Take your time." I said even though I was slightly disappointed. I just wanted to spend as much time as possible with him and after our great day I wanted to end on a happy note. Plus after he moved I really longed for him and I missed him so much. I just wanted to spend a lot of time with him in case he moved again. I also have a hard time sleeping without him.mBut I know he's really excited for his novel so I let it be. But it wasn't 'only a little bit'. It turned out to be an hour. I. eventually just gave up and fell asleep, without jug.
