Undercover ~ Bughead

Chapter 20:Brooklyn Hideaway

Betty's POV:

It was almost 2 weeks, we had been in this ship and I wanted to get out of it as fast as possible. I was dizzy and vomited constantly, Jughead had to pull my hair every time I vomited. Thank god it was just one more day and tomorrow we would arrive at the port.We were staying in one of the dorms and it was so tiny I got even dizzier. So I would stay. Above deck until I was too tired and needed to sleep. I was sitting on the bed right now waiting for Jughead to get out of the bathroom. I was thinking of how life had been going on and I couldn't stop thinking about the kiss we had. We hadn't shared another, not yet at least and neither of us had wanted to confront it. He finally got out and had his hair soaking wet and in a towel.

B- Could you take any longer, you didn't even get dressed.

There were water drops falling from his hair into his chest and the light from the window made him glow. He looked like a god, couldn't be any more beautiful. 

J- Because you were rushing me, and I thought you liked me in a towel.

B- Stop playing the flirt and winking at me, get dressed while I go to the bathroom. 

It annoyed me so much when he did that, and yet I still waited every second to hear a flirty tone. To hear his deal voice with a husky tone that I found very attractive. Even before whatever was going between us started.

J- Dont take long

B- I won't

Some hours had passed and I was now in the deck, watching the stars. The only thing I  enjoyed in this cruise. When Jughead appeared.

J- Hey…what are you doing?

B- Just looking at the stats like an idiot.

J- That's not true 

B- Wow, you're being sweet?

J- You don't look like an idiot, you are an idiot.

B- I knew it was too good to be true 

We both laughed, he was now standing next to me. Our bodies an inch apart. 

B- Hey are you gonna tell me where we're going to go? I feel like I should now, we’re in this together, but I need to know.

J- Betty I don't know how to say this…we're going to stay with my family.

B- Wait, how and what do you mean? You don’t talk to any except your mom. And does she know? Exactly where are we staying?

I started to panic and worry and just have a bunch of thoughts and questions racing through my mind. 

J- I promise everything will be okay, the Serpents live in the outside of Brooklyn, far and yet close to the city. Nobody knows where we live except Serpents. I will tell you everything you need to know, don't worry. And yes my mom already set everything up.

He touched my shoulder to calm me down and I let out a breath. Again we were locking eyes, no words said. Made me forget everything else that had been going on, expect for the kiss. He moved a piece of hair out of my face. And just like that I couldn't keep waiting for things to come to me, I needed to go after them. So I built up my courage, got on my tippy toes and jumped slightly to give him a kiss. I closed my eyes and felt his soft lips on mine. My arms wrapped around his neck to depend on the kiss. His arms snaked and wrapped around my waist and pulled me up. My fingers played with the nape of his neck. My teeth slightly bit his lower lip in a soft sensual way. And I could feel butterflies building up in my stomach. Our kiss lasted a while and left us both out of breath for a sec. 

J- Uhhh Coop what was that?

He laughed, I could not believe it. I was being vulnerable and putting myself out there and he laughed.
