Chapter 3

I glance in the mirror making sure I look decent for when I walk over to his house and embarrass the absolute hell out of myself. I could already feel my nerves on edge.

"Come on Betty, you look good. Now if you want Archie to be your date, then your going to have to woman up and walk your sexy ass over there."

I nod my head throwing my flip-flops on. I slowly walk over to Jughead's house, his fancy car parked in the driveway. God why is this so nerve wrecking.

Stoping to a halt at Jughead's door, I give a short knock.

Oh my god. You're actually doing this.

I'm about to make a run for it when Jughead opens the door- shirtless- once again. He's covered in sweat and it looks like he's been working out.

"Betty," he smirks leaning against the door frame. "What can I do for you?"

"Um- I was... wondering- if you wanted to go on a double date with me. As friends of course- I just don't really want to go with the date she put me with. You see he's not really my type-" I ramble on until he grabs my arm gently pulling me into his house.

He leaves me standing in the entrance of his house confused and nervous.

"Here," he walks back into view handing me a glass of water. "Now calm down, I didn't understand a word you were staying out there."

I blush embarrassed.

"Sorry. It's just. I was wondering... if you would like to go on a double date with me. Otherwise my friend is going to force me to go with this guy-"

"Alright. I'll go with you, as your friend," he leans over me.

As your friend.

Gotta admit. That stung.

"Yes of course. Come to my house around six. Dress fancy. We will meet them there."

I smiled at him before leaving as fast as my little legs could go. Veronica is basically jumping off the walls with joy when I come back.

"I can't believe you actually did it B!" She hugs me tightly. "I'm so proud of you."

"Thanks V. But you're squeezing me too hard."

"Sorry," she smiles letting go. "I'll see you in a few hours. Toodles.

She leaves as fast as she arrived. Leaving me stunned. Did I really ask Jughead on a date?

Oh my gosh. I did!

Not going to lie. I look fabulous. The black dress fits like a glove, bringing my curves out, making my ass look good.

Damn where was all this self-confidence when I was younger?

There is a knock on the door, making blush rise to my cheeks.

Will Jughead like the dress? Will he like me?

I race downstairs as fast as I could in these heels. Oh how I hated heels, but they matched the dress so I could resist wearing them.

Opening the door swiftly to meet Jughead. My mouth instantly falls open when I see how sexy he is in his black suit, and black tie.
