Betty's POV
As much as I hate to admit it, I can't stop thinking about Jones. He's all I've been thinking about all day. I know he said he was coming by at 5:00 but I can't wait that long.
It is now 3:00 and I need to see him cause I feel like if I don't, I'm gonna go crazy.
I rush outside the bar and get on my bike. I race I've to his trailer and don't even bother knocking. I open the door to see him sit on the couch looking at his phone.
"Hey, Betts. What are you- what are you doing here?"
Shit. I didn't think this through. I can't just admit that I needed to see him cause I can't stop thinking about how rough and dominant he was with me. (A/N: IM SO SORRY)
"I, um, I came to help you... memorize the laws," I lie.
"Oh, okay," he says and looks back at his phone.
I go over to sit on the couch next to him. He puts his phone down to look at me. "Okay. What is the first law?"
"No Serpent stands alone. / A Serpent never shows cowardice."
"Good. Okay, what is the second law?"
"If a Serpent is killed or imprisoned their family will be taken care of."
"Good. What is the third law?"
"A Serpent..." he forgot.
"Do you need a hint?" I ask him.
"No. No, I got this."
"A Serpent... never betrays his own?"
"Um, well, that's one of the laws. But... not the third one."
"Shit," he hits his lap.
"Hey! Don't beat yourself up over it... literally," I reach over to touch his arm, flirting a little.
"Sorry. I just can't think straight with you here," he admits.
We look at each other for a minute. Just eye contact. It's surprisingly intimate.
"Jones," I start. "I want this. Us. But I haven't had time to think it over thoroughly-"
"Hey, it's okay. But who says we can't do... things while we're waiting?" He smirks.
"Jones, I really want to kiss you, but I don't think we should."
He nods. "Betty... you flirt, you admit you wanna kiss me, but are you just playing me? Did I break up with Ginger for nothing?"
"You- you broke up with her for... me?"
"Yeah. I think you are the strongest, kindest, most beautiful person I've ever met."
"Jones... how can you go from hating me... to thinking I'm the most... strong, most kind, most beautiful person you've ever met?"
"I don't know. I think a little part of me has always had a crush on you," he admits.
I blush tremendously.
