To Protect You

Part 16

I was a little self conscious about my body and I was afraid he was going to judge me.
J- betts, if you want to you can go to the bathroom to change than I'll wait here until you're done. B-okay. I took my swimsuit and walked to the bathroom, I changed into my bikini and looked in the mirror. It fit me which was surprising, but my body was more exposed then I expected to be you could see every curve I have and it made me even more insecure. He has never seen me in a swimsuit before so what if he doesn't like the way I look? I was thinking for a while until I suddenly heard o knock.
J- betts? Are you almost ready? B- yea almost... my voice cracked a little and a tear fell down from my face. How could I ever think I was good enough for someone like jughead? He

heard it
J- Betty can I come in? B- n-no I'm almost done. J- Betty whats wrong? Can I please come in? B- okay sure....
jughead walked in, he was wearing swimming trunks and a t-shirt. I was trying to hide my body with my arms, he was looking at me.
B- stop staring jug! J- but betts you're so beautiful B- no I'm not! Tears formed in my eyes jughead walked up to me and gave me a tight hug J- yes you are babe. He whispered in my ear and kissed my cheek. B- no I'm not I'm ugly and fat. Tears fell rolled down my cheeks, he carefully whipped them away. J- you're beautiful, you're not ugly or fat and I think you are the only one that doesn't see how gorgeous you are. B- I'm not jug.....
He walked us over to the mirror and stood behind me

J- babe look at yourself, you're so beautiful B- not I'm not I'm ugly and fat, and it's fine if you judge me I know I'm ugly. J- I would never judge you, and you're not any of those things! You're beautiful! He wrapped his arms around me from behind and said J- listen to me Betty, you're perfect to me you're so gorgeous and I will never ever think anything otherwise. I promise. I cried even more, no one ever said something this sweet to me. He turned me around and hugged me tight J- do you want to take a bath now? B- yea. I smiled, he turned on the bath water and took of his shirt
B- wow.... I said softly. He smirked, I looked up at him B- oh uhm I didn't meen to say that J- that okay betts. Let's take a bath now. He was still smirking.
We stepped in the bathtub and laid down close to each-other, I laid my head on his chest

Jughead

We stepped in the bathtub and laid down close to each-other, she laid her head on my chest. We talked for a while until she didn't respond to me anymore, I looked at her face and saw she had fallen asleep. She's so damn cute when she's asleep. I stroked her hair and stared at her cute face. After a while she woke up B- did I fall asleep J- yes you did. I chuckled, it was just too cute how she woke up B- oh Im sorry J- you're so cute when you're asleep. She smiled
J- let's get out and go to sleep, okay? I could see she was tired B-yea.
We got out and I asked J-Betty do you want me to go to a different room so you can change? B- no you don't have to, just turn around J- okay, do I need to get your  pajamas? B- yea that

would be nice. She smiled J- okay I'll be back in a minute. I went to my room and grabbed her pajamas, when I got back into the bathroom I saw her standing in her underwear. I couldn't help myself from looking at her beautiful body B- jug stop staring J- I'm sorry babe. I smiled awkwardly and handed her her pajamas. She changed into her pajama pants and grabbed my shirt B- can I please wear it? J- ofcourse. She put it on and it looked really cute in her. We walked into my bedroom and laid down in bed, I started to talk J-Betty? B- yea? She snuggled up to me and laid her head on my bare chest again. J-maybe it's too soon to say this, and you don't have to say it back but after today I realized that... uhm.... that... she looked at me B- jug is something wrong? She looked worried J- no I just, I wanted to say that I love you...
