I'm yours

Chapter 9

It's almost 11:00pm. Betty spent her afternoon showing Kevin the entire school. She introduced him to some friends, mostly Veronica's. They were telling each other stories, more things about what happened when they were apart from each other. Betty missed talking to him. Their conversations were always making her forget about her issues. She just wishes she never had to be apart from him.

They are now in their room, getting changed to go to bed. Veronica is with them. They talk about what they did today. Veronica, as always, was with her friends. They talked much more about how life is in Riverdale. After have talked for a good hours, they all three say good night to each other and turn off the lights to sleep.

An hour later, Betty still can't sleep. She tries to close her eyes, but they just open alone. So she decides to wake Kevin up. His bed is just next to hers so she doesn't need to get up.

"Hey, Kevin. Kev." She whispers. He wiggles a little and turns to face her, his side against the bed.

"Hmm?" He mumbles. His eyes half closed.

"I can't sleep." She tells him, a bit of an embarrassed voice.

"You know, I think we're too old to wake each other up because we can't sleep, sweety." He says with a sleepy voice.

"And you know, I think we're too old to give each other such pet names. Nobody's perfect, honey." She says with a smirk, her voice still law so Veroncia doesn't hear them. He smiles back.

"So, why can't you sleep?" He asks, sitting up.

"I don't know." She replies with a sigh, pouting as she sits up too. "I guess that's because of this whole secret-relationship thing."

"What secret-relationship thing?" She hears mumbling. Shit she murmures to herself, squeezing her eyes shut. She tries to catch up.

"Sorry Veronica, I woke you. You can sleep, I won't make any noise anymore." She whispers, her voice as soft as possible to make her fall sleep.

"Don't try to make me fall asleep." She says, sitting up herself. "What secret relationship were you talking about?" She asks again. Betty looks over at Kevin then back at Veronica.

"It's a long story. You sure I can't tell you tomorrow? I'm kind of tired right now." She says with a slight wince.

"You just said to Kevin that you couldn't sleep, and if you were tired, you would be sleeping right now so tell me. I'm not tired and we have until morning." She shrugs. Betty doesn't really want to tell her because she wants Jughead to agree with that and to be with him when she'll tell her. But now, well, it's kind of impossible so she just sighs and starts.

"Well, this secret relationship is mine... and...." she stops looking at Veronica who is wating for her answer. She squeezes her eyes shut and finishes. "... Jughead's." She says quickly. Veroncia looks at her with wide eyes.

"Wait, what?! Jughead?? Betty, really?" She sighs. "I told you about him. I warned you. What if he hurts you-"

"He won't." She cuts her. "I know he won't. I understand why you're so protective but you don't know what I know." Betty says

"What do you mean?" She says, narrowing her eyes.

"They fuck and call each other by pet names." Kevin says, as if it was the most natural thing to say.

"Kevin!" Betty yelled, looking over at him. "Why did you say this?!"

"What? Isn't what you were going to say?" Be asks, nodding at Veronica.

"Noo! I wasn't going to say that!" She says as she throws her pillow at him.

"Oops, sorry darling, I let you continue then." He smiles at her innocently. He definitly likes making her uncomfortable. But she wasn't blaming him, she liked doing the same to him. When she turns around, Veronica is looking at her with wide eyes, her mouth slightly open, shocked by what she just heard.
