Betty's P.O.V.

i woke up the next morning, and realized veronica was still asleep, so i was hoping i could go to work before she gets up. i went to the kitchen and made myself some coffee and as i was pouring it veronica walked in.
"good morning!" she exclaimed.
"oh, goodie you're up." i responded.
i sat down at the kitchen table and she sat down with me.
"tell me all about last night." she said as she rested her head on her hands.
i told her all about last night and how much fun jughead and i had.
"he said you missed?" she asked and was dying of laughter.
"yeah, so then i kissed him on the lips and left." i responded.
"swoon! i need to use that sometime!" she replied still laughing.
my phone rang it and i flipped it over to see a call from jughead.
"answer it, say i'm getting dressed or something." i told her as i slid my phone across the table.
she picked it up and gladly put it to her ear.
"hi....yeah, it's veronica....she's right here." is all i could hear from veronica.
i put my palm to my face and took the phone.
"hey." i said into the phone.
"hi." he replied.
"do you need—." i started to say, but veronica kicked me under the table. "sorry, i meant what's up."
"i just wanted to know if you have to work at the desk today." he responded laughing a little bit at my correction.
"i should be working the bar unless reggie needs to train someone again." i replied.
"okay. we're good right?" he asked.
"why wouldn't we?" i responded confused.
"i don't know, i just thought we had a really nice night, but veronica answered your phone so i didn't know if you didn't want to talk to me." he said.
"no, it's not that i don't want to talk to you i'm just used to letting people in and watching them walk out and i'm not good with conversation or friends." i explained.
"alright, maybe i could drive you to work?" he offered.
"on your motorcycle? hell no." i responded.
there was a pause between us, i sighed because i kept ruining things.
"sorry, lemme try that again. i'm okay, but thanks." i corrected myself.
"that's alright, i'll see you later." he responded laughing a little.
i hung up the phone and veronica just looked at me.
"i'm going to get ready for work." i told her as i stood up. i went in my bed room and put on a black cropped band t shirt, black jean shorts, fish nets on my legs, black leather jacket, black high top converse, did my makeup, and put my hair up in a ponytail and put a black bandanna on.
i drove to work and when i got there jughead was already waiting outside the bar.
"you're here early." i said to him.
"i know, i wanted you offer you a job at the serpents bar that is reopening." he replied.
"and why would i want to do that?" i asked.
"well, you'd get to see me more often and you'd get paid more." he responded.
"when is it reopening?" i asked as i crossed my arms.
"today, so i'd be crazy busy." he replied.
"did you think about the fact that i can't just quit in a day, dumb ass?" i asked.
i walked up the bar to put my key in, but he moved in front of the door.
"you're friends with kevin, i'm sure he'll let you." he responded.
"i will go in there and ask him, but if he says no i stay at this bar." i told him.
he moved from the door and i went to ask kevin and to my surprise he said i could leave. i came back out to see jughead standing by the door.
"let's go." i said as i got in my car.
we drove over to the bar and went in, there was a lot of serpents around the bar, a bar counter with a few people working behind it, girls pole dancing, and guys watching them dance. jughead took me to his office and sat down.
"did you have fun last night?" he asked.
"yeah, thanks for that." i responded.
"no problem. we could do it again sometime if you want." replied.
"okay. what am i going to do here?" i asked.
"well, there's three options, you could be a bartender, a pole dancer, or my personal assistant." he replied.
"i guess i'll do your personal assistant." i said crossing my arms.
"okay, that's the desk you can use." he told me.
i sat down in the desk next to his.
"where does this put us?" i asked.
"if you're talking relationship wise, then i'd a couple in progress, unless you think otherwise." he replied.
"no, i agree because we definitely are in progress. well, mostly me because you're actually making an effort, but i'm still being a bitch." i responded.
"you're not being a bitch." he told me.
"okay, we'll go with that. i'm going to go get coffee, do you want anything?" i asked.
"sure, just a regular coffee please." he responded.
"okay, i'll be back." i said and started to head to the door.
"wait." he stopped me as he stood up.
i turned around so i was facing him and he kissed me and kissed him back, until we heard a knock on the door.
"boss!" i heard sweet pea yell as he opened the door.
"really?" jughead responded.
"oh!" he exclaimed once he saw me.
"i'm going to get our coffees, boss." i said as i laughed a little.
"don't call me that, it's jughead to you." he responded.
"whatever." i replied as i left to get our coffees.
