The New Step Mom

Meeting The Wife

Jughead POV:

"Hey man have you ever thought about settling down?" I hear my best friend Sweet pea ask me 

"What do you mean by settling down? I'm only 25" I respond  walking over to him and handing him a beer. 

"Yeah bro but you've literally never had a girlfriend, just pure one night stands. Doesn't that shit get old?" He asks me as he takes a drink out of his beer and returning his focus on the game. 

"I've had girlfriends before" I reply almost instantly trying to remember the last time I've had a girlfriend only to realize that Sweet Pea is right I've never had a girlfriend before. My eyes widen but soon shrug it off, Who needs love anyway? 

"You can't think of one huh?" He asks not taking his eyes off of the television. 

"Nah but who cares? I certainly don't. I mean why have a girlfriend when you can fuck whoever you want while being single?" I ask him in a serious tone finally taking a sip out of my beer while Sweet Pea was nearly done with his. 

"Bro" He starts but then shakes his head as if he regrets saying anything "Nevermind but let me tell you something. Love will come to you and that shit is going to make you feel things that you've never felt before and it's also going to have you doing crazy ass shit" He tells me 

"I do crazy shit all the fucking time Pea, so shut up or change the subject" I tell him making him roll his eyes at me but he does what I say anyway. Why is Sweet Pea asking this shit anyway? 

Betty POV:

"So do you think it'll work?" I ask my new husband nervously. he turns around to face me giving me his adorable smile. 

"Absolutely"  He replies as he walks over to me taking both my hands into his and rising them up "People just have to believe that we're actually in love and that this marriage is real" He replies placing kisses on both of my hands. 

I let out a shaky breath and close my eyes trying to compose myself and trying not to make a scene. "What's on your mind?" He asks me placing a finger underneath my chin to force me to look up at him. I give him a tight smile trying to find my words but instead I just stay quiet making him frown.  "Betty, remember you can tell me anything" He reassures me. 

"It's just I don't want people thinking bad about you" I respond, telling him the truth, his frown stays placed on his face and his eyes narrows while looking at me making me look down "Betty, you don't need to worry about me, I'm a big boy I can handle them. You're the one i'm worried about Betty and you should be too" He tells me "People will call you a gold digger and will comment that you're only with me for my money" He tells me as if I didn't know but I just don't care what they say about me. F.P is a great guy and has taken me in with open arms and I just don't want people thinking that he's a pervert or something when in reality he's far from it. 

"i know you think i should worry about myself but I can't F.P. People will misjudge for marrying someone half your age and will think wrong of you when in reality you marrying me is the best thing that has ever happened to me" I tell him

I see him smile and looks down at me "You're such a beautiful person Betty. You always think about others and put them before you but there will come a time when someone will put you first" He tells me giving me a kiss on the forehead.
