The Unknown 2: The Wedding // Varchie

Chapter 21 - Archibald Sings

"That's great!" I say truthfully. I wanted this probably as much as she did.
"Truthfully?" V says, her ears pricking up slightly, in hopeful adoration.
"Mhm." I smiled wide. She takes my cheeks and kisses me. I love Veronica Andrews and I would do anything for a baby. I just hope it's not ginger. Factor 50 is not good.
"I hope they're a little ginger like you." She smiles, running her hands through my hair.
Oh fuck. Don't curse it then Veronica.
"You look disgusted." She laughs. "I do. I do hope they're a carrot top."
I shake my head laughing.
"Stock up on the factor 50 then my love." I laugh.
"I will love." V smiles.
I smile. She takes my hand. "Thanks." She says. I nod.
After finishing our meal, I take her hand and we take a beach stroll. I look her in the eye.
She kisses me and my lips tingle with anticipation. She gently bites my lip, pulling it with her teeth.
"Oh v." I say. She walks down the beach. Tease.
I take her hand and we look at the sunset.
"We go tomorrow..." she sighs. "Back to riverdale. To reality."
"I don't want this holiday to end. It's been such a good two weeks."
"Me either. You're so burnt." She giggles.
"You are tanned. Lucky." I say.
"When your sunburn goes I should still be a little tanned." She shrugs.
"I want you to be on my cover. For my first album." I smile.
"When are you shooting?" She says.
"As soon as this burn goes." I shrug.
She nods. "I'm flattered archiekins."
"You're my queen." I say. She takes my hand.
"My king." She says.
I walk with her to the seafront she looks at me.
"I'm so glad I married you." She says.
"Same." I say truthfully.
"What's your album called." She says.
She really thinks I'd tell that easy. I tap my nose.
"If you tell me arch, I'll do something extra special..." She says.
"Alright. It's called love you, miss you." I shrug.
"Aw archie."
"It's background is the fear of losing you." I say. "You heard of holopowder?"
She nods.
"I want us to be covered in it for the album cover."
She laughs. "That's is typical of you. Something fun and not professional."
I look down.
"No Archie that's a good thing!" She says lifting my head up.
"Good. Because I'm bringing a trampoline too for the photoshoot." I say.
She nods laughing.
" these photos should be a little professional though." I say.
"How so?" V says.
"Because you are a model Mrs Andrews." I smile.
She blushes. She takes my hands and kisses me. I kiss her back. She takes my hands basically pulling me to the hotel room where only we knew what went off that night...
I wake up covered in hickeys, Veronica asleep on my chest looking the same. Oops. I check the time and sit up slowly. Another plane ride today. V slowly opens her eyes and smiles up at me.
"I'm taking a shower, care to join?" I ask. She nods smiling widely.
I get up and ready to shower. She joins me.
I take her hands as we shower. We're so intimate. We're so in love.
When we are done I get dried and changed. V takes my hand, pulling me down to a seat. She dabs a sponge that's an egg shaped to my hickeys and it engulfs them.
As she's doing the same to hers she looks at me.
"You look like you saw a ghost." She giggles.
"It ate it" I say.
She laughs.
"How?" I say. She taps the side of her nose.
She applies lipstick and I look at her.
"What?" She laughed.
"Nothing." I say. She laughs.
"Put some on. I want a laugh." She says, passing me a red version. I try and copy her but mine is wobbly and all around my mouth. She laughs. "Oh my god. Archibald sings."
"Yeah?" I say, not ready getting what she's saying because she didn't really say it like a question. She bursts out laughing.
I think it was a joke but I didn't get it. She explains there's someone who wears their lipstick like me called Mirandy or something like that. She shows me a video and explains she's a YouTuber. I watch the video and turn to Veronica.
"Does she have a nasal infection?" I say. Her voice wasn't normal.
Veronica busts out laughing.
"No. That's her brand image Archie." She hugs me.
I look at her.
"Can I play a song I wrote for you?" I ask.
"I'd love that." She says.
I start playing my song, kiss me. (The one by Ed Sheeran)
She watches me as I hit every note as it's written. She kisses me.
I kiss back. I get an email but I can't read most of it so I give it to V.
"To say you can read music like that, why can't you read?" I say. I shrug. Truth was, I passed English down to nothing but creativity. Don't get me wrong, I studied. But it was really hard and I'm dumb. What's good though is that I've got more qualifications than other singers that have none. Then I have a modelling career to fall back on.
"Please let me do some makeup on you." V says. I nod, laughing.
"We can film it on my channel." I say.
We get all set up. I film an intro with Veronica and I laugh.
She starts rubbing something into my face which she calls primer. I chuckle Cos it tickles. As it progresses she puts on foundation, concealer, eyebrows, lipstick (properly this time), false eyelashes, glittery eyeshadow, eyeliner, contour and highlight. I legitimately looked like a girl.
"You're going out like that Arch." V says.
"Aw. Should I vlog it?" I say.
"Mhm.." v says. "If you see Archie today like this, we'll get another place to take photos, free, we will use the pictures for admission. After concerts in your town."
After a while, we leave the house and Veronica laughs. Paparazzi are soon to snap pictures but I just stick my tongue out at them, cheekily. Veronica is on the floor laughing. After a while we go to the airport.
I nervously look over the people.
"You look so good like how'd you do your makeup like that?" Some girl asked me.
"Uh my wife did it. For my YouTube." I Laugh.
"Nice. What's your name?" She says.
"Archie Andrews." She types it up.
"Wait no! You sing! Waittttt... are you the same guy who sang Well Rounded Man?!?!"  She said excitedly.
I nod.
"Man you're so talented! You must be so intelligent!" She says.
"He is." V says.
No I wasn't. We sit with some fans.

Veronica's pov

We were sat together. I watched Archie being cute, braiding a little girls hair for her. Well trying to. He'd be a great dad. He's laughing with the kids and has his legs crossed on the floor. He gets his guitar out and plays a little for the kids. I'm catching footage for his vlog channel. All the kids clapped in delight, some adults and teens recorded him because they knew who he was or was enjoying the song.
"It's my song from about a week ago if you like it. It's called tightrope." He smiles. Some women take the children away in disgust at the sight of Archie with makeup but they kicked and screamed for him and Archie pleaded them to let them stay until a woman slapped him. Oh no she doesn't just do that. I crack my knuckles.
