The sun shines past my blinds hitting me directly in the eyes. I mumble a few curse words before snuggling into my pillow blocking out the light. After a while of realizing I won't be able to fall back asleep, I sit up stretching my limbs.

I don't remember waking up to crawl into my bed last night. Did he carry me? I'm still wrapped up in his suit coat from last night, and suddenly my stomach swarms with butterflies.

I stand up stretching. I quickly throw on a long shirt and a pair of leggings. I walk, basically skip, downstairs.

"Someone's happy," Veronica chirps at me, scaring me half to death.

"What the hell! Give a warning to a girl, Jesus!" I put my hand over my heart hoping it will calm down my racing heart. "How did you even-"

"-I made a key."

"Jeez. You didn't need to do that," I let out a shaky breath.

"Looks like someone got some last night," she gives me a devilish grin, referring to Jughead's coat in my hand.

"Oh no, no, no, he just.... I guess carried me inside."

"And then proceeded to fuck you," she grins clapping her hands as if she just found out the cleverest thing.

"What!?" I croak. "No! We definitely didn't.... fuck."

"Sure," she laughs turning my tv on. "Are you going to return that coat or snuggle with it all day?"

"I'll return it... just let me eat first," I mumble setting the coat on the arm of the couch.

After eating a bowl of Lucky Charms, I grab the coat slipping on a pair of shoes. I walk towards Jughead's house squeezing his coat tightly. Why did talking to him always making me so nervous. I let out another shaky breath knocking on his door lightly.

"Good morning, Betty," he smirks leaning against his door frame.

"Good morning," I smile. "I came to return your coat." I hand it to him," And to say, thank you for last night."

"No problem," he grabs his coat. "Would you like to join me for some, coffee? Or tea?"

"Um- sure," I blush.

He moves to the side letting me in, he leads me to a kitchen that is similar towards mine. But there are paintings, that look extremely expensive.

"English tea?"

"Yes please," I stare as his back. How can this man have such a sexy back? He begins to brew the tea.

"Did you have fun last night?" He turns around leaning against the counter.

"Yeah," I blush.

"I finished your book," he taps his fingers against the countertop.

"Oh?" I sit on a stool.

"It was really good," he smiled turning around to grab my now finished tea. "Here."

"Thank you."

He hums in reply watching me take a sip of my tea.

"I've been working on book two, but it seems I've been having a little bit of writers block," I sigh running my fingers through my hair.

"You know... I could help you," he leans in. His breath fanning my face.

"Um- oh no, no! It's fine," I laugh nervously leaning back.
