gangsta - riverdale sweet pea

61

My wobbly legs took me up to the stage and I whispered my desired song to the pianist that sat behind Josie with a bored look on his face. When I whispered my song though, his face lit up and he nodded intently.

Veronica had already kicked Josie off the stage for the duration of my song, so I knew that Sweet Pea would be looking at me.

I decided to sing a song that expresses exactly how I feel. Because after all, Sweet Pea is the love of my life. I may have only just realised it in the last few months, and maybe it was too late.

The piano intro started and I looked out to see everyone's eyes on me. Most were shocked to see the biker girl singing a love song, some just seemed genuinely interested. Let's hope I live up to their expectations.

"Love of my life, you've hurt me
You've broken my heart and now you leave me
Love of my life, can't you see?
Bring it back, bring it back
Don't take it away from me, because you don't know
What it means to me"

I sang, and looked over to Sweet Pea only to be greeted with his eyes fixated directly onto mine.

"Love of my life, don't leave me
You've stolen my love, you now desert me
Love of my life, can't you see?
Bring it back, bring it back (back)
Don't take it away from me
Because you don't know
What it means to me

You will remember
When this is blown over
Everything's all by the way
When I grow older
I will be there at your side to remind you
How I still love you
I still love you
Oh, hurry back, hurry back
Don't take it away from me
Because you don't know what it means to me
Love of my life
Love of my life"

I finished the song and everyone clapped, including Sweet Pea.

It was true though, he is the love of my life and I don't think he quite knows what it means to me. He had a smirk on his face, and whilst the clapping continued I jumped off the stage giving Ronnie a quick wink.

I walked over to him, and he stood up to greet me.

"I'm sorry, that was so dramatic and cliche but you weren't listening to me and I just wanted to tell you how much I love-"

He cut my stupid rambling off by bending down and pulling my lips into a rough and passionate kiss. As soon as his lips touched mine I felt like the old me again and everything began to make sense, as cliche as that might sound. Gosh I'm strong with the cheesy cliches tonight.

"You" I breathed as we broke apart.

"I love you too. Only you. No one but you" He smiled, pushing some hair behind my ear gently.

I smiled up at him, a few tears pricking at my eyes as we shared a moment that I never thought we would share again.

"Oh god, what did I do to deserve you?" I asked, covering my face with my hands.

He bent down down to my level, pulling my hands away from my face, revealing his happy smile which mirrored mine.

"You were you, Ally" He grinned, and I jumped into his arms quickly.

He wrapped his muscular arms around me, engulfing my tiny frame into his strong one comfortingly. This is exactly what I've missed.

"How sweet, the biker beaus are united at last" Veronica laughed from behind us.

I turned to face the brunette as she held a champagne glass in her hand, raising it to us in happiness.

"Thanks Veronica" I smiled, giggling lightly.

She gave me a wink before walking away backwards, and going to talk to some other people.

I turned back to him and he gave me a happy smirk.

"So you put Veronica behind this?" He chuckled.

"Yeah... I needed the stage" I shrugged.

"You're a good singer, dipper" He said holding my hand in his as we began to walk out of the bar.

"Well, I suppose we didn't really get chance to perform Carrie" I nodded.

"Yeah true, but I'm glad you sang now" He replied.

"I'm sorry it was so cliche but I didn't know what to do" I admitted, looking up at him hopefully.

"It was perfect, although I wish it never came to this" He commented and I nodded in agreement.

"Yeah me neither" I sighed.

"You coming back to the serpents?" He asked as the fresh air hit our faces.

"Urm, I'm not too sure" I contemplated, not actually knowing the answer in all honesty.

"What? You have to come back" He pleaded, stopping us in our tracks before we got to his bike.

"Maybe it's not safe... plus I haven't even properly spoken to my dad about anything yet, he's been so distant and weird" I huffed.

"But it hasn't been the same, you're safer with us than you are alone" He assured, pushing me to sit down on his bike.

He leaned over me and I wrapped my legs around his waist as he held me up on the bike.

His towering frame leant down and he pressed his lips against mine sweetly and my arms wrapped around his neck tightly, gripping on for dear life as we leaned back over the bike.

When we pulled apart, our foreheads stayed rested together.

"I might think about it" I smirked.

He chuckled lightly and reciprocated my smirk, pulling me in again for another passionate kiss.

Wow I have missed this guy so much, I can't believe I ever thought I could ever love someone other than him.
