No one ever said that it would be this hard

Chapter 41

♾ Betty ♾

I woke up alone in bed — which meant that Jughead either hadn't come home from work yet or he was downstairs in the kitchen because he couldn't sleep. I groaned and then got myself out of bed. After getting in some comfortable clothes — a hoodie and some sweatpants, I headed downstairs. I, not surprisingly, found him in the kitchen, sitting at the kitchen table and staring out of the window and either drinking coffee or tea.

"Morning" I greeted, smiling as I wrapped my arms around him before I kissed him on the cheek. He smiled, turning around on the chair in order to kiss me properly.

"Morning to you too"

"How much did you sleep?" I asked, sitting down in his lap. He shrugged, resting his hands on my waist. Jug kissed me again, though I pulled away "seriously, how much did you sleep?" He sighed, resting his head back.

"Not at all. But I only came home one hour ago anyways"

"Juggy, this isn't good for you. You gotta sleep"

"Well, I can't" I sighed, kissing his forehead before getting up. I walked over to the fridge to see if we still had some yogurts left. When I saw that we did, I got a 500ml one out before dividing it on two bowls.

"Want some apple in your yogurt too?" I asked and he just nodded silently, so I grabbed two apples before starting to cut them into pieces. I put an apple in each bowl before reaching one to Jughead. He took it and yet again started to just stir around while I ate in silence. I didn't try to fore him to eat anymore. He wouldn't listen anyways.

After breakfast, we went to the living room and Jug soon fell asleep, arms wrapped around me.

Betty: Hey, up for meeting today again?

Veronica: No, sorry, have to work today

Betty: Too bad
Betty: Maybe next time

Veronica: You could ask Archie? As far as I know, he's free today

Betty: Yeah, that's a good idea

Betty: Have a good day at work, yeah?

Veronica: Always

I switched over to the chat with Archie.

Betty: Are you free from 6?

Archie: Yeah, why?

Betty: Wanna come over? Jug is at work and he doesn't want me to be alone, in case something happens or I suddenly go into labor 

Archie: Yeah sure, will be there

Betty: Great, thanks

After that, I exchanged the phone for a book, reading it until Jug woke up.

"Slept good?" I asked and he nodded "I'm glad, want something for lunch?"

"No, thanks. I'm not really hungry yet, I just woke up, you know?"

"If you say so..." he exhaled before sitting up to cup my face and kiss me.
