Love You More.
serpent juliet ♔ betty cooper Love You More Hoping you call 'bout anything I love when you call me about anything I love how you don't doubt anything Like I said, get anything 'Cause I love the way you call my phone
'Cause I love you more than anything (go 'head, oh, go 'head) Oh, I love you more than anything (love you more than anything, anything) 'Cause I love you more than anything (oh yeah, oh, oh) Oh, I love you more than anything (more than any, more than anything) "I love when you call me about anything" While a man in a faded Creed t-shirt belts out Dolly Parton into the karaoke machine across the room, Betty is content to nurse her drink as her friends argue over the ideal role of action in the cinema or some other debate just as ridiculous to be having in the Whyte Wyrm. Meanwhile, a man is singing Dolly Parton into the machine across the room.
Betty discovers that she doesn't mind that this is how she will spend her Saturday night, despite the fact that the guy is singing off-key. She has recently begun venturing out into the community more often, having been coaxed out of her self-imposed isolation by the growth of her friendships and the increasing number of writing projects she has been given throughout town for the Register. Riverdale has been feeling more like an old pair of pants that only needs a few changes to fit and less like something she has completely outgrown throughout the last several episodes.
The mind-melting she's been getting with Jughead's help on a frequency certainly doesn't hurt, either.
The one from the night before was one of the most unforgettable. He'd wrapped his arm around her middle and pulled her upright, her back pressed flush against his chest. His mouth was hot on the back of her neck, his other hand moving down between her legs when –
"Betty, come down to earth." The sudden appearance of Jughead's hand in front of her face brings her out of her trance. "Are we boring you?"
Reggie doesn't appear to notice, as he is focused on a discussion with the guy who has just taken a seat on the opposite side of him and stated something that seems to be contentious about Vin Diesel's abs. The fact that he is showing the beginnings of a grin gives the impression that he is aware of what she is considering; if not the specifics, then at least the general idea. She thinks to herself, "Am I that obvious?"
She explains to him that she is "just thinking about what song I want to sing."
"I had no idea you were a singer."
"I don't. Unless Veronica is making me do it, I won't. Which really takes place a lot more often than you'd suppose."
Jughead has a chuckle. "Will she be coming to see us at any point? That is something I really want to see."
"Doubtful." After their only child graduated from high school, Veronica's parents likewise relocated back to New York City. Since then, Betty had not seen any member of the Lodge family in Riverdale, and she believed that none of the Lodges had returned. Any conversation about potential excursions to the east coast had been predicated on the idea that Betty and Veronica would eventually meet up in New York City.
Betty wrinkles her nose in sympathy as she takes a few drinks from her drink and allows her mind to wander back to the get-together she had with Jughead the night before. Her eyes dart toward the back of the bar as she continues to do what she's doing. The thing that attracts her sight is a filmy white object that is hanging from one corner of the shelf. She had always faintly remembered it as a limp dishrag, but now that she's looking closer, she sees it's a shed snakeskin hanging from one corner of a shelf.
She downs the last of her drink while stifling a shiver and goes for her handbag as she does so. "You know what? I just jogged my memory and realized I had a Tide pen." She makes an announcement to no one in particular, saying, "I'll be back." I love how you don't doubt anything,
