(Betty's POV)

Having invited Sweetpea, I had to clean my room. Therefore I needed to get out of my bed which was terribly exhausting.

Perfectly on time Sweetpea sent me a short message saying that he was downstairs. I rushed to the door and opened it for him. "You decided to use the door this time. How old fashioned," I said and pulled him into a short hug. "Fast, my parents better not see you this late." Sweetpea smiled at me and followed me upstairs.

My room was clean and boring as it usually was but with Sweetpea inside it, there'd be no other room I'd rather be in.

"Make yourself comfortable," I told him and he nodded. He was awfully quiet, so I started overthinking if I did anything wrong.

"Are you okay? You're usually more talkative."

"Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry. I'm just exhausted and I'm... enjoying your company." Sweetpea took a deep breath. "You're not like other girls, Betty."

"What's wrong with other girls?" I answered curiously. I'd always read this line in books and never understood.

"They judge me. You don't," Sweetpea answered honestly and sat down on my bed.

His eyes didn't meet mine because he was too busy looking away shyly. This obviously was a really touchy subject for him.

"I'd never judge you. I mean, I don't like everything you do but that's something else," I told him and sat down beside him.

"Same," he assured me and we just awkwardly looked at each other and then started to laugh.

Sweetpea put his left hand on my leg and calmed down again.

"Betty, I'm going to be brutally honest with you." I nodded.

"I like you and that kiss is on my mind constantly. But I need to warn you, there are many secrets in my life that I'm not ready to reveal. I don't want you to ask questions, I'll tell you them all, I just need a little time. You should not get involved into all the dark stuff in my life. Are you really choosing me? Think about it, if you really want this."

And I had thought about it. It was all a little weird but then I took Sweetpea's hand and our eyes locked. "I choose you. You and all your secrets. You and your darkness. As long as you choose me, too." Sweetpea nodded.

And then the distance between our lips decreased again. Until they crashed onto each other. Sweetpea's tongue started dancing with mine as if they had never done anything else. He gently pulled me onto his lap and held my waists. Sweetpea did not try to go anywhere with his hands, he just enjoyed our 'promise kiss', as I call it.

My eyes were closed because the feelings during that kiss were overwhelming. The butterflies in my tummy were jumping up and down.

For a second Sweetpea and I stopped kissing, both needing air again.

"You make me crazy, princess," Sweetpea whispered and I giggled. He then lay me on my bed before moving beside me.

We watched Netflix, some movies. But they were unimportant. After all we spent most of the time cuddling and kissing. Gosh, I loved this. I had craved it so much.

I got pretty tired pretty fast. My head was resting on Sweetpea's chest while his fingers were running through my hair in relaxing circles.

I fell asleep in his arms and this time, when I woke up, he was still there.
