Chapter Two: Bricks and Bats
“Enough about me, what about you?” He said turning the questioning on to her. “Are you with that Martin guy? I thought I told you guys do give me six months and I will be out of here.” Jughead told her sounding slightly angry.
“Wait, Martin knows about you?” Betty questioned reaching back to pull on her ponytail. When he nodded, Betty sighed and looked to the ceiling. “Why didn’t he tell me about? This whole thing could have been avoided,” She said tiredly. She could not wait until this day ended with her in the hottest bath water with a glass of her favorite wine. Betty looked down at Jughead and nodded her head towards the back. “How about we go get some ice for that eye, and I will explain everything to you?” Betty suggested extending a hand out to him.
“I will take you up on that ice,” Jughead said at the nice gesture but refused to take her hand as he struggled to get to his feet and swayed a little once he was standing,
“That is why I offered you my hand,” Betty pointed out to him before walking around him back to the kitchen area. “Sit down,” She ordered pointing at a stool walking over to the ice chest but not before grabbing a towel from a drawer.
“You know your way around here,” Jughead noted curiously.
“What makes you say that?” She asked him filling the fabric with a scoop of ice
“Because like you I have never seen you around here before and two you haven’t had to ask where a single thing is,” Jughead pointed out. “Like you know where everything is.” He added.
Betty smiled at him when she turned around walking over to him. “It’s because I do and I am guessing you are wondering why?” She asked knowingly stopping just before where he was sitting. Betty had to stop herself come from gulping at the sight of him leaning back with his elbows propped up on the counter. His blue eyes, eyes bluer than a sea, watching every move she made. His gaze made a chill crawl slowly down her spine to the pit of her stomach where it melted into a warm pot of gooey butter. Getting her mind out of the unneeded gutter, Betty focused on placing the ice pack to his face. He winced at the initial contact.
“I have been wondering from the moment you jumped and hit me,” Jughead answered smartly. “What did you hit me with anyway?” He asked reaching up to take the ice pack from her because she spent way too long in his personal bubble space and it was close to popping.
“A brick,” Betty boasted proudly, and his eyes widen at the revelation.
