U N H O L Y - [Sweet Pea]

0.3

"Don't know if you understand the purpose of a movie, but it's mainly made for watching". She replied while her hand moved in her bucket of popcorn to grab some and stuff it in her mouth. "Jug's here too?". Sweet Pea ignored her sarcastic remark and watched her nod her head positively. "With Betty and her friends". Toni said while she kept her eyes on the screen. "Oh, well". He replied with a sigh. He wasn't a big fan of 'Betty's friends', which were also Jughead's friends. Especially the redheaded guy and the Lodge girl. Ugh, just the look in her eyes, as if she ruled the whole world.

Sweet Pea leaned back against the truck and crossed his arms over his chest after he stole some of Toni's popcorn. His eyes looked sideways to two people who were seated almost next to them, their truck parked a couple meters away from him. The girl's laugh echoed through the Drive In and it seemed like she was laughing about something the guy next to her said. His lips curled up in a snarl as his eyes caught the blue and yellow colours of the Riverdale High jackets, however he felt drawn to her when she looked back at the screen. It was her, it was the girl he had brought home a couple nights ago.

The guy next to her had his arm swung around her shoulder and she seemed to feel pretty comfortable by snuggling into his side, which made Sweet Pea raise his eyebrows. And Kate felt indeed pretty comfortable with Reggie next to her. He was way nicer than she thought he was, constantly flirting with her and telling her stupid jokes that weren't actually very funny, but just the stupidity of it made her giggle. The movie wasn't that interesting, but Kate admired the atmosphere at the Drive In. She could see why the inhabitants of Riverdale were going to miss this place in town a lot.

"I have to use the toilet, do you want some popcorn?". Kate asked as she had heard a refill was easily possible. "Yeah, sure". Reggie smiled and took his arm away from her so she could stand up. Kate took the empty bucket and her empty can and hopped out of the truck, making her way to the booth were she could get some more popcorn and a new drink. She quickly put them down on the counter and went around the building to get to the ladies room, getting to the toilet and then washing her hands. She checked her appearance in the mirror and wiped some excess of her mascara away from under her eyes.

Her eyeshadow was still intact, although she didn't want to overdo her make-up. Kate ruffled her hair a bit that was now curly as she didn't straighten before going out. She smiled as she thought back of Reggie picking her up, about to smoothly drop a pick-up line about how great she looked when her mother showed up behind her. Kate unlocked the door and was about to get out, a shriek leaving her mouth as a tall guy stood in front of her. "Oh my god". She huffed and put a hand over her hammering heart. "Second time in one week I scared you, doll?". His low voice spoke up, the corners of his mouth curling into a grin.

"Sweet Pea". Kate stated, not knowing if she got his name right, yet he didn't correct her, so she assumed she was right. "Dollface". He replied, the grin not leaving his handsome face. She took in his tall form, dressed in the same leather jacket he had worn when he offered her a ride home last monday. "I have a name, you know". Kate softly replied, briefly looking away as his staring eyes made her blush. Sweet Pea cocked an eyebrow at her, showing her he was waiting for a reply with what her name was. "I'm Kate". She eventually said, extending her hand for him to shake, if he wanted to.

She almost felt embarrassed as she didn't think he would accept the gesture, her cheeks crimson as she was about to lower her hand when he shook hers firmly. Sweet Pea's warm hand curled around hers, her much smaller hand disappearing in his bigger one. His rings felt cold against her skin and her eyes briefly wandered over the tattoo that was inked into his thumb. "Well, isn't it a pleasure, northie". Sweet Pea said and loosened his hand from hers. "Are you enjoying the movie?". She decided to ask and his chuckle made her look up with a questionable face. "Haven't been paying a lot of attention to be honest". He explained.
