Riverdale One Shots

Seven Minutes in Heaven - Part 2

♥betty♥

After the two hours pass, its 12:40am. I have to be home within 20 minutes. Jughead calls his friend, Joaquin, who wasn't at the party to come and drive us to my house in Jug's truck. He completely forgot that he was our designated driver. Thankfully, Joaquin agreed, meeting us at the large driveway as we waited with Archie, Veronica and Kevin. Kevin waited for his uber while Archie and Veronica waited for Smithers. Joaquin arrived by 12:47 on his motorcycle - Riverdale was small, so everyone was within 5-10 minutes of each other.  

"Hey." Joaquin pulls up, bringing Jughead into a bro hug. His eyes then meet Kevin, and I immediately notice him scan him before smirking. Kevin looks at me with wide eyes, I assume he caught it too. "Ready to go? Is the beautiful brunette coming with us?"

"I have a boyfriend." Veroncia says, holding onto Archies arm tighter.

He chuckles, "Wasn't talking about you, sweetheart. Him." he points at Kevin.

Veronica blushes in embarrassment and Archie and Jughead chuckle.

Kevins cheeks flourish. "Unfortunately not."

Joaquin frowns, "Bummer. See you around hopefully." he winks, the three of us making our way to Jug's truck as Joaquin puts his motorcycle in the back. 

I get into the back seat, Jughead in the passenger side. As I put my coat that I left here back on, I look out the window to see Kevin mouthing, "Oh my god." I chuckle. We start driving off.

"You want his number?" I ask.

"I was about to ask, yeah." he says, looking at me through the rear view mirror. 

"I got you." Jug says, wincing at the brightness of his screen when he pulls out his phone to send Joaquin Kevin's contact. 

"Thanks. How was the party?" he asks.

"Good. Fun." I smile.

"And you're the famous Betty, I assume?"

I giggle, "Oh, you've heard about me?"

"All Jones ever talks about." he chuckles.

Jughead elbows him, "Not true." he says turning to face me.

I scoot up on my seat, wrapping my arms around Jughead from behind. "Even when you're away from me I'm still on your mind." I tease, snatching his beanie from his head before falling back into my chair, putting it on. 

He had no response but sticking his tongue out at me.

"This the right place?" Joaquin asks. I hadn't noticed how close of a drive my house really was from Cheryl's. He parks on the side of the road.

"Yeah, thanks man. I owe you one." Jug says, giving Joaquin a props as they get out of the car. 

Jughead folds the seat and puts a hand out to help me out of the back, closing the door behind me. 

"If you sent me that boy's number we're even." Joaquin says as he takes out his motorcycle. 

"Kevin." I say as he puts on his helmet. 

"Kevin." Joaquin says smiling to himself. "Thanks. See ya later guys." 

And with that he drives off. I button up my coat as Jughead and I walk up to my front door. I pick up the key from under the snail plant and unlock the door. 12:52. Just in time. The dark house lights up with the hallway light upstairs. 

"Betty?" A sleepy voice calls. "Are you home?"

"Hey mom," I whisper as Jughead and I go up the stairs to see her. She was in her blue robe, her eyes barely open. "Jug's here he's just gonna grab his things then go to Archie's."
