Dynasty || Betty Cooper [1] [COMPLETED]

||TWENTY-ONE - DATE||

Tatum's POV

I'm lying in my bed, when the realisation hit me, Betty and I had never gone on an official date. I got out my phone, and texted her.

To: Betty 😍❤

I'm taking you out on a date. Be ready at 7. I'll pick you up then xx

I now have less than two hours to plan a date. It shouldn't be too hard.

From: Betty 😍❤

That was sudden. But, I'll be ready then xx

I smile, and go to pick out my outfit. I decide on a white skirt, and a black and white sweater.

I then got an idea. I put in a Pop's order, for Betty and I's usual food. I get in my car (which was a make up for forgetting my birthday) and drive down to Sweetwater River. 

I put a picnic blanket on the riverbed, and set up fake candles around it. Fake, because I don't want them to knock over and set fire to the forest.

I smile at my accomplishment. It looks pretty romantic, and it's in a secluded spot. I get back in my car, and drive to Betty's house.

I walk up the stairs, and knock on the bright red door. I check my phone. It's 7:02. Close enough. It's Betty who answers.

"You're late." She pouts.

"By two minutes." I reply. She smiles at me, and I look down at her outfit. She's wearing a sweater, and a skirt. "You look beautiful." 

I watch as her cheeks warm up.

"Thank you. You do, too." She says.

"Shall we go?" I ask her. She nods, and we over to my car. I open the passenger door for her, then go around to the drivers side.

"When did you get this car?" Betty asks, as I pull out onto the road.

"It was a gift from my mom, for forgetting my birthday." I explain. 

"So, what are we doing?" Betty asks.

"First, we're going to Pop's, then, the rest is a surprise." I answer. Soon, we arrive at Pop's diner. I stop the car, and go around to open it for Betty.

I take her hand, and we walk into the diner.

"Hey Pop, can we get--" Betty starts.

"No need." I tell her. "Pop, I called in an order." He nods, and goes into the kitchen. Two minutes later, he comes out with a takeout bag, and two milkshakes.

"Here you go." Pop says, and hands me the order. I pass him the money, and thank him. Then, we go back to the car.

"So, where are we going now?" Betty asks, as I pull out of the parking lot.

"Now, now, Elizabeth. You're going to have to wait." I say.

"Don't call me Elizabeth." She says. She frowns, but doesn't seem too upset.

-----

We arrive at the spot, and everything is the same as how I left it. I open the car door for Betty, and she climbs out, holding our Pop's.

"Tay...You didn't have to do all this." Betty smiles.

"I realised that we'd never been on an official date, so I wanted to make it romantic." I reply. I smile at her, and she smiles back.

We walk over to the picnic blanket, and sit down. I unpack the bag of food, and hand Betty her cheese fries and vanilla milkshake.

"How did you get my order perfect?" She asks me.

"I'm your girlfriend. I remember these things." I answer. We sit on the blanket, eating our Pop's, and casually talking.

"Thanks for doing this." Betty says, smiling. "It's amazing." 

"It's okay." I respond. I smile, and look her up and down. I think she's thinking exactly what I'm thinking. I kiss her, and she pulls me onto her lap.

We carry on making out. Her hands go to my hips, and travel down. My hands are at the back of her neck and in her hair.

She pulls off my sweater, revealing my black lace bra. Thank God I wore my good set tonight. My hands travel from her neck, down her chest, and to the hem of her sweater.

My hands go to pull it off, but, then we hear something in the bushes. We both flinch, and our lips part.

"What the hell was that?" I ask.

"I have no idea. I think we should get out of here." Betty says. I climb off of her lap and pull my sweater back over my head.

We quickly pack up the stuff, and put it in the back of my car. We climb in, and I quickly drive away.

It was nice while it lasted, at the least.

I pull up to her house, and walk her to the front door. I notice how our lips are both swollen from making out, but neither of us seem to care.

"That was fun." Betty says, when we reach the door. 

"It was." I reply, smiling. She leans over to me, and kisses my cheek.

"I think you missed." I comment. She lets out a laugh, and kisses me on the lips.

"I'll see you at school tomorrow." Betty says.

"Bye." I say. I give her one last kiss, and then walk down the steps to the sidewalk. I get in my car, and drive away. We wave to each other as I leave her house.

I open the door to the apartment, and see Veronica sitting at the table, working on homework. She glances at me, then back to her work.

"Looks like you had fun." She says.

"What do you mean?" I ask. She doesn't look up.

"Your sweater is on inside-out." Veronica states.

"Shit." I curse. I quickly pull it off, and then put it on correctly. I walk over to the table, and sit down next to Veronica. She looks up at me.

"Did you guys have sex?" Veronica asks, straight up. My eyes widen.

"No, of course we didn't." I answer.

"Sure." She comments, rolling her eyes.

"Fine. We almost did, but we were interrupted." I reply.

"Interrupted by who?" Veronica asks.

"More like, 'interrupted by what?'." I correct. "We freaked out after hearing a noise coming from the bushes. Take this as a lesson, always have sex indoors."

"You were going to do it outside?" Veronica questions.

"Yeah. No more questions. I'm going to bed." I say, and make my way into my room.
