Hidden

Goodbye

Fp POV:
"Morning handsome" I feel a whisper in my ear waking me up not that I mind because i know that voice anywhere. She traces my jawline with her finger and I open my eyes seeing the most beautiful sight possible.
It's good I don't have a shift at pops today because I'm still tired from last night.
"Morning beautiful" I reply, it comes out husky and deep but I know she likes that.
"It's 7:00" she says running her nails along my chest.
"Why did we get up this early?" I ask her and she smiles at me.
"Because I'm making us breakfast before you have to leave" she says pulling a pouty face at the ending.
"I'll help...but I might get distracted" I say as she stands up still in that black bodysuit she put on last night.
"Just keep me company" she replies taking both of my hands and trying to get me to stand up.
"Gettt uppp" she whines only making me more determined to lay down. She pulls harder but I'm definitely too heavy for her. She keeps trying until I pull her down onto me and she lands perfectly on me so our bodies matched. I leant up to kiss her and she reciprocates instantly.
"Hey we don't have time for this" she says feeling me grow under her.
"Okay lets get up then" I reply not really minding if we did it or not because honestly I'm happy spending time with her, plus we have the rest of our lives for that. She leans up straddling me and I hold her hips so she can't move before sitting up myself to pick her up of the bed. She giggles and her legs tighten around me for extra support. I put her down so I can put on my boxers.
"How does a fry up sound?" She asks me probably already knowing it's a yes.
"Amazing" I reply and she nods before walking down stairs giving me a good look of her. I follow her down where she has already got busy cooking. I can't help just stare at her wondering what life would be like if it was like this everyday. But some days I would treat her, let her lay in and cook for her or we could both be lazy and get take out.
"Your staring" she tells me looking up at me from her cooking.
"And your beautiful" I reply and she smiles.
"Smooth Jones, very smooth" she comments retuning her attention to her cooking.
"I'll make us some coffee" I offer and she nods gesturing me to the cups.
We both put our contributions on the table and eat together just taking about what came into our heads. Conversations between us just flowed and before it even felt like five minutes had passed it was time for me to go.
"Do you have to leave?" She whines holding my arm as I go to walk out.
"Hey i will see you soon okay?" I remind her flicking her nose gently earning smile from her that was contagious. She gives me a kiss that was meant to be short but soon we both deepen it and I have to pull away.
"When will I see you again?" She asks explaining why the kiss was so long, she wasn't sure when we would next get a chance like this.
"I'm not sure" I admit, we have to be careful because the kids and I wasn't going to make an empty promise to her. She frowns before nodding and shutting the door leaving me to walk to my truck.
Fred meets me as I get into it.
"Fp, spend a night with a certain blond haired beauty did we?" He asks obviously knowing what my car in his driveway meant.
"Maybe I did" I reply giving him a smirk and he returns one.
"Good on ya" he says and I keep my smirk whilst reversing my truck out of his driveway giving him a nod as a goodbye and I drive back home.

Alice POV:
I try hard to push down my disappointment from his answer. Even though it was true, we couldn't be sure when we would see each other. There is indeed an us but it doesn't mean this is simple. It's incredibly complex and in a way confirming our feelings only made it harder.
I sigh and dress into my appropriate northside clothes in anticipation for Betty to come home.
I sigh knowing that my only escape from my northside life was a short moment with Fp and I didn't even know when that would happen again.
"Hey mom" Betty says cheerfully as she walks into the house.
"Hey honey" I reply washing up the plate Fp has quickly as if it would be suspicious to her even though it most likely wouldn't faze her one bit. This whole sneaking around thing was beginning to get tiring. Betty lingers around me making me feel nervous because usually she would go straight to her room.
"Okay so this is going to sound crazy but...I was thinking" she says slowly.
"Nothing good ever comes from that" I reply turning to face her.
"I was just thinking it's been a while since you had a man in your life and after last night when you gave me that...you know" she began referring to the condom "maybe you should find a man to date rather than 'hook ups'. Ew that feels wrong to say" she continues. I get why she assumes I have been having hookups because why would I have condoms otherwise, god she must think I sleep around. I couldn't tell her it was for Fp or that the only man I have slept with is him.
"What are you getting at her Betty?" I ask suspiciously.
"I got you a date" she blurts holding my arms excitedly.
"You did what?" I shout a little in surprise.
"Got you a date, with a...and don't freak serpent" Betty says making my eyes go even wider.
"Hold on a second Elizabeth" I try but she's still going on.
"I may or may not have mention to jug, Veronica and Archie that you haven't had a date in a while so we stayed up most of the night finding you the perfect man and we think we got one" she blurts in an exited frenzy.
"You told your friends" I whine, I didn't want everyone thinking I'm some lonely woman. The man she's talking about better be Fp or I swear.
"Besides the point, wait till you hear who it is. You know him. It's hogeye" she says not even giving me a chance to guess. Hogeye? I mean sure we get along well but that's about the extent of it.
"Betty I can't-" I try to object but she's not having it.
"Your going and that's final" she shuts me off and before giggling and leaving to her bedroom. So I guess I have a date now then.
I spend the rest of the day cleaning and doing everything Alice Cooper would do trying to push this whole date thing out of my mind whilst drifting into a sleep.
I wake up and I slept in somehow.
"Betty" I call walking down the stairs and noticing her bag is gone so she is already at school.
I sigh not being about to get the idea of going out with another man out of my head. It's feels like I am going to cheat on Fp, telling him would be the right thing to do right?
I get dressed into a baby blue skirt and a white top. More northside clothes no one saw through to me. It's 12 o'clock so Fp has his break around now from his shift at pops.

I walk into pops feeling the warm atmosphere calm me down. I would tell him just to let him know nothing would happened on this date. I'm purely going to humour Betty and because she didn't give me a choice.
I spot him behind the counter and he doesn't seem at all happy to see me but I push the worry out my mind being it on a busy shift.
"Hey, I have something I need to tell you" I tell him.
"I've been meaning to talk to you as well. I'm on my break do you want to go outside for a second to talk" he suggests and I nod leading him outside.
"Okay you first" I say wondering why he looks so serious.
"Gladys is back and she's staying at the trailer" he explains and my face drops at the sensation of anger filling my stomach. I knew this would happen, we would never work out. He just wanted someone to be with until his wife comes running back.
"Well that's makes it a whole lot easier to tell you, I'm going out with someone tonight" I shoot back angrily leaving out the fact i was only going on it for Betty just to get to him. Of course he would let Gladys back, I honestly didn't know what I expected.
"You have a date?" He asks looking angry now too as if he had the right. His wife had just come back and was now living in his trailer so I think I have more of a right to be mad.
"Yeah and he's a serpent" I dug just to annoy him more because normally northside Alice would be completely against this idea.
"Well you were quick to leave me this time" he comments and I slap him because he's bringing up the past again. He knows my reasons for leaving him so for him to dig at it is low.
"You know what? It's good we fucked this up before this got to far because this would never work" I say pointing between us. He doesn't even hold his cheek and I know I slapped him hard but he probably expected it from me.
"I'm beginning to think your right" he replies breaking my heart a little. There's a long pause and I feel the need to break it.
"Goodbye Fp" I says planting a final goodbye kiss on his lips just to feel him once more before giving up on us.
He returns the kiss and it doesn't go on for near as long enough as we both want.
"See ya round Alice" he replies feeling the finalisation in my kiss. It was a goodbye kiss.
