Bughead: autograph

Chapter 119

After the meeting, and his friends left with promises to talk later, jughead pulled Betty in for a hug. "I love you Betty Jones so much" he whispered. "I love you too juggie" she smiled. "Are you sure you want to do this?" He asked. "Set up a new business, and let me run it?" He added. "Of course! And I don't want you to think of it being my business, it's yours juggie, and you make all the decisions and everything about it, I'm just a name holder on a contract" she beamed. "God I love you" he grinned and pulled her closer to him, kissing her hard.

That evening, jughead was already settled in bed, when Betty came out of their bedroom, wrapped in a towel, and started getting ready for bed. "You're so beautiful" she heard jughead say and she blushed. He watched as she put her pyjamas on and then did her nightly skin care routine. "Seriously betts, you're gorgeous" he said, and she turned to look at him. "And you're very handsome" she smiled and he smirked. "I do try" he laughed and she giggled. When she was done, she pulled back the covers and climbed into bed next to jughead. "Do you have a day off tomorrow?" He asked her, putting an arm around her and pulling her closer to him. "No" she sighed. "I have a bunch of meetings, for the cookbook" she told him. "How many meetings?" He asked. "I don't know but I need to be there for 10am and Cheryl doesn't think I'll be home til late" she exclaimed. "Is that going to be too much for you?" He asked, stroking the hair from her face. "I'll be okay" she said. "Okay then, let's head to bed then" he suggested and moved them so they were laying down. "Goodnight juggie, I love you" Betty mumbled, sleepily. "I love you too baby" he said, kissing her head.

The next morning, Betty woke up, and decided to head down to the gym to get a workout in before the busy day ahead of her. She got down to the gym at around 6:30 am, and ran on the treadmill and did some weights before calling it a day and heading back up to the apartment. When she opened the door, she was surprised to see her husband standing there. "Where have you been?" He asked. "The gym" she said, heading to the bathroom to take a shower. "Babe, it's 7:30, that's early to workout" he said, leaning on the doorframe. "I know but I need to leave soon" she said, stripping her clothes off. "Okay then" jug said, leaving her too it. When Betty was out the shower, she got dressed and did her hair and makeup before heading to the kitchen where she found jughead making breakfast. "Here betts" he said, sliding a fruit bowl over the counter. "Thanks juggie" she smiled, sitting down. "Need to make sure my wife's ready for the day" he grinned, taking the seat next to her. "I'll miss you today" he said, placing his hand on her thigh. "I'll miss you too" she said, pecking his lips.

Around lunchtime, jughead was at Sweetpeas place with Toni and fangs, and they were all talking about the new business and how everything will work. "God I love Betty, she's the best" Toni smiled. "Me too" jug grinned and the others laughed. Just then, jugheads phone buzzed in his pocket and when he saw Bettys name on the screen he smiled. "It's betts" he said before standing up and taking the call.

"Hey baby" he said.
"Hi" she sniffed on the over end and jughead frowned.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"Erm.. can you come home please, I'm on my way" she said.
"Are you okay?! What's wrong? I thought you had meetings" he said, while putting his jacket on.
"Yeah, I'll see you at home" she said.
"Okay I'm on my way, love you" he said.
"I love you too" she said and hung up.

"Hey guys that was Betty I gotta go" he said. "Okay man!" Fangs said. "See you later!" Sweetpea and Toni waved as jughead left to head back to his and Betty's apartment.

"Baby?" Jug said when he walked through the door. He spotted her on the couch, in sweats and she looked like she'd been crying. "Baby, what's wrong?" He asked, sitting next to her and instantly wrapping her up in his arms. "Cheryl made me come home" she sniffed. "Why?" He asked. "I.. I had an awful headache and felt a little faint so she sent me home" she explained. "What? Do you feel okay now?" He asked, concern in his eyes. "Honestly, not really" she sighed. "And now I feel really guilty because I had to cancel with the publishers, it looks unprofessional" she said and jughead watched as tears filled her eyes.  "Hey, hey no" jug said, taking her hands. "They'll understand betts, and you're very professional, that's why they asked you to do another book" he said and Betty nodded. "Now, I'm going to put you in bed and let you rest and I'll be here for whatever you need okay?" He said, pulling her up and leading her to the bedroom. He helped her settled into bed and kissed her softly. "Do you need anything?" He asked. "I'm okay, thank you" she said with a small smile. "How's your head?" He asked. "Sore, and I feel a little nauseous" she sighed. "Okay, you get some sleep then" he said and kissed her again before leaving her to rest.
