Old Habits Die Hard (Riverdale)

"I pick dare" He said and my eyes widened. He was never that outgoing with games like this.

"Oooh interesting. Fine. I dare you to read your last texts with Betty out loud" She put her head on Archie's shoulder and I rolled my eyes.

Betty sat up. "V?!"

Jughead took out his phone and opened his and Betty's texts and began to read them.

B: Are you with her right now?
J: Yeah she's staying here for a bit
B: Is that why you've been ignoring me?
J: It's not personal B. Im trying to help her she's unstable right now.

Jughead swallowed and continued reading.

B: When is she not. Come over tomorrow.
J: Ill try.

He placed his phone on the coffee table and I moved away from him. My heart hurt. It sounded like they were still a thing. Betty said I was basically unstable. Who was even my real friend anymore.

It was silent before Jug spoke up again.

"Archie truth or dare" He said as he pinched between his eyebrows.

"Truth."

"Why aren't you and V officially together yet?" He asked blatantly. Jesus he was being so different.

"Uh well I want to make sure we're on the same page with everything and... that she's the one I really want to be with" He faked a smile and Veronica lifted her head from his shoulder.

"Who else would there be?" V asked concerned. "The trash from a couple houses down? I thought you took that out a while ago" Veronica crossed her arms in anger. I was pissed but held my tongue from retaliation.

"Soph! Truth or Dare" He tried to refocus things on the game.

"Dare."

"Makeout with the guy you like." He smiled. I knew he was just trying to help me but this was the worst time for Archie to play matchmaker.

Jughead sat up. He hated pda but it was a game and he had already been playing dirty.
I turned to him and took a deep breath. I glanced at Betty who was watching intently. Who was the unstable one right now huh?

I stopped feeling sorry for myself. If Jughead has been seeing Betty still this was just the perfect way to get back at her. I brought my leg over Jugheads lap and was now straddling him.  I placed my hands on his cheeks and leaned in placing my lips on his. It was soft at first but then he grabbed my legs where my knees bent and pulled me into him tightly. After a minute or so I pulled away and he seemed as if he was disappointed. I got off of him and sat back down on the couch. I looked over to see Betty looking at her hands and playing with her thumbs. Archie wasn't looking either.

"Betty, your turn" I turned towards her waiting for her response.

"Truth" She mumbled.

"Tell us all how you really feel about Archie" I smirked and she opened her mouth in disbelief.

"What Betty?" V sat up interested.

"I.." Betty stood up and ran out of the room. We heard the front door slam behind her.

"Sophia what the hell??" Jughead stood up and followed after her.
