AJ woke up to her phone ringing and groaned as she went to grab it, but an arm was stopping her from moving. At first, she was confused, but then she remembered Reggie and their conversation last night. She looked over her shoulder and saw Reggie's peaceful face sleeping behind her. He had his arm wrapped around her stomach while he slept.

"Reg," she said quickly, trying to shake him awake, but he didn't budge. "Reggie," she tried again, shaking him a little harder. Groaning, she gave up waking him up and tried to reach for her phone again. She grabbed it before laying back down.

Jughead's name popped up on her phone. AJ debated ignoring it but decided she should let her brother know she was okay.

"Hey, Jug," she answered, her voice quiet to not wake Reggie up.

"Where are you?" He asked, "I stayed at dad's last night. I think he's really trying to get his life back together."

"That's great," AJ said, getting distracted by Reggie moving. She watched as his eyes opened and gave him a small smile.

"Who's that?" Reggie's groggy voice asked, causing AJ to panic. She put her finger to her lip, telling him to be quiet. 'Jughead,' she mouthed to him.

"Was that Reggie?" Jughead asked. She could hear the frown in his voice. AJ hated lying to Jughead, but she hoped he wouldn't find out she spent the night with Reggie.

"Uh," AJ started, not knowing what to say. She could play it off like Jughead was hearing things, but he was too smart for that. "Yeah, I spent the night after we went out with Veronica," she admitted. "Nothing happened, don't worry."

"Seriously, Astrid?" Jughead snapped, the tone of his voice changing from confused to angry.

"Can we talk about this later," she pleaded. "What did you call about?" She tried to change the topic of the conversation.

"I wanted to meet up before school, but you seem busy."

"Don't be like that," she snapped, sending Reggie an apologetic look. "Where are you? I'll meet you there. Just give me a couple of minutes."

After getting Jughead to agree to meet her, she hung up the phone and sighed. She didn't want to upset Jughead, but she knew she did anyways.

"Well that went well," AJ joked, getting out of the bed. "I have to go meet Jughead, but I'll see you at school." She grabbed her clothes and went to the bathroom, after changing she went back to Reggie's room, seeing him almost ready for the day.

"I can drive you," he offered, not wanting to end their time together so soon.

"No, no, it's okay," she said smiling. She didn't want to make things worse with Jughead, and she was still lost with her thoughts. She knew she should just be honest with Reggie, but she didn't want the truth to ruin the relationship they started to build. "Thank's for last night. It was fun." Without thinking, AJ leaned up and placed a small kiss to his cheek before rushing off to meet Jughead.
