Fp and I have been seeing each other for awhile now. We told the kids and while they are a little weirded out, they are coming around. We were honest with them on why we felt this way towards each other, which helped a lot.
We told them about Chic, high school, everything we could remember, well not everything, but you get the point. The four of us would go to Pops and eat as a family, dysfunctional yes, but a family.
This Friday Fp was taking me out to eat. Once a week we would leave the children at home and have time to ourselves. Fp and Jughead weren't living with us, but they might as well be. Fp had clothes in my closet and even Jughead had some clothes in the spare bedroom.
I thought we were going to our normal place to eat, which was Pops. I loved going there because it reminded me of our younger years. I hadn't seen Fp since Thursday. I tried calling him, but he wouldn't answer. I finally started asking the kids if they have seen him.
"Betty, Jug have you seen Fp anywhere I can't find him and I'm getting worried." I asked. "Mom he is fine. It was supposed to be a surprise, but since your worried he is fine. He will be picking you up tonight at 8:00 so be ready." Betty smiled and walked away pulling Jughead along with her. "A surprise?" I thought to myself.
Through the day I tried to focus on anything, but tonight. I was so anxious I couldn't help but think of it. Finally it was time to get ready, so I took a nice long shower. I put on a tight red dress with a zipper all the way down the back. I paired it with red heels and some red lipstick. Yes that's a lot of red, but Fp loves it on me.
I looked at my completion in the mirror one more time before heading downstairs. Jughead was here, but Fp wasn't. "Mom you look beautiful." Betty smiled. "Thank you dear." I smiled back sitting on the couch. "Do you guys have information on where I am going tonight?" I asked trying to get details.
"Sorry Mrs.S our lips our sealed." Jughead smiled evilly. "What about a bribe." I smirked. "Sorry Fp already bribed us." Betty smiled just as evil. "Fine then." I crossed my leg over the other one. Someone knocked at the door and I went to get it.
"There you are I have been worried about you." I said letting Fp in. "Sorry Ali." Fp smiled walking in. "So I'm guessing your ready. You look gorgeous by the way." Fp wrapped his arms around my waist. "Thank you and yes I'm ready." I pecked his lips.
We said by to the kids and got into Fps truck. "Where are we going?" I asked noticing he wasn't going in the direction as Pops. "Just Wait. Let the night take you for an adventure." Fp said squeezing my thigh. "Since when do you speak with quotes?" I laughed. "I can be very romantic just wait." Fp smirked.
He didn't say a word the rest of the way. I finally noticed where we were going, to Sweetwater River. "You surprise me Jones." I smiled getting it of the truck. I took Fps arm and he lead me down a small path. Halfway down the path there were string lights being used to light up the walkway.
"What is all of this for?" I asked looking up at him. "Just Wait." He smiled and kissed the side of my head. The lights lead us to a small secluded area surrounded by trees. The only sight you could see was the river.
It was beautiful. I had been here at night before, but never at this exact spot. The moonlight glistened off the water. "This is all for a special night." Fp said sitting down on the little park bench. "What are you talking about?" I asked sitting down with him. "Just thought we could escape our normal daily life and have a special night for once." He smiled and I leaned into him.
"This is nice. Very nice and special." I cuddled into his side. "I didn't just come here for silence. I brought something. Wait here." Fp smirked walking back up to the truck. I watched him walk away until I couldn't see him anymore. I looked back out at the lake and all of the decorations around me. It was easily the most beautiful spot in all of Riverdale.
I heard footsteps walking back towards me to see Fp with a bag and his old guitar. "You still have that old thing." I asked with a big cheesy smile. "Of course. This got me all the ladies." He smirked. "Well more like the lady." I smirked back. "And the best thing is. You didn't even now I could play when we met." He smiled and sat down again.
He pulled a blanket out of the bag and spread it over our laps. "I guessed you were chilly." He smiled. "I want to hear our song." I pleaded. "Ok, but I haven't played it since you left I may be a little rusty." He said picking the guitar up. "Well let me knock off some dust." I smiled and he smirked at me. "Oh get your mind out of the gutter Forsythe." I laughed with him.
He started strumming the guitar. Our song was 'angel eyes, by Jeff Healey.' He would sing the first part and I would pick up at the chorus.
"Girl, you're lookin' so good tonight
And every guy has got you in his sights
What you're doin' with a clown like me?
You know I've been called worse
It's got to be one of life's little mysteries"
I swayed on the bench while listening to him sing. It was our song because he said it reminded him of me. That when he looked into my eyes he saw a safe haven. His own little angel.
"So tonight I'll ask the stars above
How did I ever win your love, yeah
What did I do, what did I say
To turn your angel eyes my way?"
I started to pick up at the chorus, but he stopped singing. "Why did you stop?" I turned to look at him. "Because Alice Susanna Smith. I love you with all my heart and I don't think I can go another second without wanting to be with you."
"Fp you are with me. I don't understand?" He stood up from the bench and walked down to the river. "Where are you going?" I asked getting up to follow him. I took off my heels considering they were hard to run in.
When I finally caught up to him. He was kneeling down on one knee. "Forsythe what are you doing?" I asked on the verge of tears. "Alice Susanna Smith. I am making myself the happiest man in the world right now and asking you to be my wife because like I said. I can't go another second without being with you." He had the biggest smile on his face and so did I.
I didn't even give him a response. I grabbed his face and pulled him up to my lips. He broke the kiss and hugged my waist. "I'm guessing that's a yes." He chuckled. "Of course it's a yes you idiot."
We laughed with each other for awhile. Both giddy and overjoyed with one another. I pulled him in for another kiss and it started to rain. He picked me up and we ran, well he ran back into the truck. "You May have made yourself the happiest man alive tonight, but you also definitely made me the luckiest woman alive tonight." I said moving to straddle him. "And I'm going to prove it to you." I bite my lip and leaned into him. He pulled me as close as possible. Slipping his tongue into my mouth making the kiss more passionate.
We ended up waking up in the back seat of his truck the next morning. Fp woke up first and started kissing up my arm and shoulder. When I woke up, I turned so I could properly give him a good morning kiss. "Good morning Mr.Jones." "Good morning soon to be Mrs.Jones." He kissed my lips again.
