Lost in Temptation

Chapter 30

Jughead POV:

I park the truck, quickly grabbing the lilies that are laying on the passenger side and rush out of the truck and run out towards the hospital but I stop in shock when I see Trula walking out, I furrow my eyebrows and walk towards her "What the hell are you doing here?" I ask her as I walk up to her. 

"Uh, I came for an appointment" She says to me with a smile "Been a while since I seen you"

"Well there isn't a reason to see each other anymore, especially since you lied the whole time we were together" I remind her and she looks down in shame. 

"Yeah, I'm sorry about that but I thought we were together. You know boyfriend and girlfriend? That's what you said" She then tells me and I scoff at her statement "Trula, I never said we were together. We fucked that's it, my girl is in there" I say to her as I point towards the hospital. 

She looks at me in disbelief and this time she scoffs and crosses her arms as she looks at me "Does she know that?" She then asks placing her sunglasses on and walking away, I open my eyes wide and begin to get a horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach and rush into the hospital and towards Betty's room. 

After a month and a half of being here, the doctors are finally letting Betty come home and I promised i'd be here to take her home but like always I'm running late. I finally get to her room and see her sitting on the bed with a smile on her face. 

"You're late" She says to me

"Sorry, I had something to do before I came to get you. I just didn't think it'd take me this long" I say to her as I walk inside and hand her the flowers. She grabs them and puts them up towards her nose and inhales the scent "Thanks" She then says with a smile. 

"Where's your dad?" I ask her as I look around, noticing that some of her stuff was still on the bed, she shrugs "I don't know, I've been waiting for him but he hasn't came back" She then says. 

Betty and I are still rocky but she agreed on trying to get along for our baby's sake, though we aren't back together but I'm happy with what I got and that's at least being able to be apart of her everyday life but seeing Trula has me feeling nervous "Betts, was Trula in here?" I ask her. 

She tilts her head and smiles widely and nods her head yes. I groan in frustration and she giggles at my reaction making me narrow my eyes at her and smile "I'm sorry you had to go through that" I say to her as I walk up to her, placing my hands on her shoulders, she looks up at me with those beautiful green eyes of her and shrugs "It's alright, it was pretty entertaining. I got to call myself a queen" She says then begins to giggle, god I love that angelic sound. 

"Did you?" I ask her with a smirk. 

"Mhm" She hums and we both don't realize that we're leaning in little by little until our foreheads are leaning against each other, causing us to stare into each others eyes "You are a queen. At least to me you are" I say to her as I feel her wrapping her arms around my neck. 

"I was jealous" She then says to me. 

"No need to be, I'm yours." I say to her and with that I press my lips against hers and kissing her, she quickly kisses back and leans backwards onto the bed. I hover over her and continue to kiss until we hear someone clearing their throat causing us to pull away. I look backwards and see Betty's dad standing in the doorway with a risen eyebrow and a grin "Interrupting something?" He asks. I look down at Betty and she smiles, I get off her and help Betty get up from the bed seeing her cheeks get red in embarrassment making me smile wide. I look down and notice that she's finally get a small bump letting me know that my baby is growing inside of her and I love it. I love her a lot more for it. 

"Do you want me to take you? Or your dad?" I ask her nervously 

"Uh actually I have something I need to do so Jughead can you take her?" Mr. Cooper asks and I look down at Betty "Is that cool?" I ask her still feeling a bit nervous. Betty roams her eyes over me and bites her lip "Sure" She says with a smile.  I return the smile and grab her things and help her get into the truck along with Mr. Cooper, we say our goodbyes to him and we head towards her new home in comfortable silence and our hands intertwined with each other finally giving me hope that maybe we're headed to a reconciliation.
