🦄Betty's Point Of View-

Recently going the gym late at night with Cheryl has been the only thing keeping me sane. I have Bea all day whilst Jugheads in work and then we have dinner. I'm on a strict diet now I have a wedding dress to fit into and then he looks after her of a night whilst me and Cheryl have some sacred and well deserved girl time.

"It will remain a mystery to me how you've lost all that weight, in such a short period of time, but girl give me tips, and why can I never keep up with you in the gym" Cheryl said, in her usual Cheryl tone all at once and a million miles per hour.

"I've been eating really good, and I'm used to going the gym with jug" I laughed, we were doing our cool down. We've been at the gym for almost two and a half hours and I missed my girl.

"I mean it Betty, it's been three months and your abs are better than mine" Cheryl whined.
"Coffee before we go?" She added on the end. We were walking through Veronica's mall complex that was completely ours to roam free.

"I'll get a decaf, I need all the sleep I can get" I laughed wiping the sweat off my forehead.

"When was the last time you and Jughead, you know" Cheryl said seriously unlocking the coffee shop doors.

"Ages, like we've done stuff, but not like sex, oh my god I miss sex so much!" I laughed grabbing an iced decaf coffee out of one of the fridges and pouring it into a to go cup.

"I can tell, you seem so stressed, you need a date night" Cheryl sang using the nespresso machine and making an almond milk latte.

"I have a three month old baby, who can't sleep with out her fathers beanie, a christening, a wedding to plan, on top of trying to find space to eat healthy when all I want is a fucking burger and going the gym" I sighed getting my bag and walking out the doors, handing Cheryl my cup so I could lock it behind us.

"You forget that kid has about six million aunts and uncles, one of which has been best friends with you since we were five B, she's my angel baby and I'll happily baby sit so you can get some" Cheryl giggled turning into the parking lot.

"I ask you all the time" I sighed.

"You ask me to come to your house to look after her for an hour so you can get a normal bath" Cheryl scoffed.

"Yeah, like everyday" I clarified.

"B, that's nothing, you guys need a date night, get that banging bod out and get him all up in your guts, but with a condom, no more angel babies for a few years" Cheryl said unlocking the car.

"I'll speak to juggie, that's even if he wants too" I sighed sipping from my cup.

"He totally does, he's been moaning to sweet pea that all you ever do is cook, clean, feed Bea, a date night is well deserved" she hummed looking on her phone whilst driving to find the perfect song.

I just looked out the window, for some reason I was nervous. I've never had the first date butterflies with jug, because he was my friend before he was my boyfriend, I feel like I've knew him my whole life, so why was I so nervous. And then I contemplated asking Cheryl why I feel this way but decided against it.

As we pulled up to my house Cheryl rolled the window down and shouted out of it as I crouched down to listen.

"Time and date, me and TT will be here, speaking of, I've got to go and pick her up, her and Pea And Fangs thought it was a good idea to go drinking with no ride" Cheryl laughed rolling her eyes. And I just laughed too as she drove away.

But then I realised how much I'm missing. I'm 22 years old, and thats what I should be doing. Having fun, I was only legally aloud to drink last year and probably for the rest of my life I'm not going to because of all the responsibilities I have.
