Queen of the Serpents- [Sweet Pea] // Riverdale

25

*Natalie's POV

"Princess." Sweet Pea whispered. I turned to the other side facing away from him and pulled the blanket over my head. I could hear him chuckle. "Princess." He whispered again.

"What Pea? What could you possibly want?" I yelled and pulled the blanket away from my face. All I wanted was some sleep.

"Come on, get up. We have a lot to do today." I groaned and threw back the blanket over my face again. "And Tall Boy keeps blowing up your phone." With that, I slid out of bed and stretched.

"Who knew being in a gang, would be so damn demanding." I yawned and made my way to the bathroom.

"It's just the two bags?" I motioned to Tall Boy.

"Yeah," he got off his motorcycle. "You grab this one," he pointed to a smaller duffel bag. "And I'll grab that one." I nodded and grabbed the duffle bag and went up the porch steps.

"By pimping the serpents out as drug runners?" I pushed open the door.

"Boy!" FP yelled as I opened the door. "Toss them in the corner." FP sighed. I nodded and went to put the bag down in the living room.

"Hey, what's in the bags, Nat?" I just shrugged.

He didn't need to know.

"Hey, what did I just say?" FP turned to Jughead angrily. "Mind your damn business and get to school." He yelled at him.

Jughead grabbed his backpack from the couch and turned to me.

"You coming?" He asked.

"Nah," I looked at FP and back at him. "I got some things I gotta handle."

"Yeah, right." He scoffed and walked out.

"Damn boy," FP sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. This whole thing was taking a toll on him. "I need you to do a drop off for me," he looked at me.

I nodded not really asking about it.

"Here's the address." He handed me a piece of paper.

"Alright."

"Take the truck." I nodded again.

"If you want, I can go with you?" Tall boy spoke up.

"No, I'm fine. You and I aren't really the best of friends right now." I pushed passed the two and grabbed FP's truck keys that were on the kitchen counter.

"Damn it." I put the box down.

"Let me see," I grabbed his hand and looked at it. "How the hell did you manage to cut yourself twice in a row with gift wrapping?" I laughed at him.

"Well this damn paper just rips too damn easily." I looked at Sweet Pea's horribly attempt at gift wrapping.

"Since we're on the topic of presents..." He eyed me suspiciously. "I got you something." I smiled.

"Prin-"

"Don't say anything." I went to look through my bag that was on the bar stool and pulled out  the small golden wrapped box. "Just open it." I stood next to him and handed him the box. He pulled apart the wrapping paper and opened up the small black box.
