Aren't you a sight for sore eyes.
The dark hair teen couldn't help the small bounce in her step as she entered into the bar. Just like the week before, Lilith sat by herself at the bar.
It was 9:17 pm. She had made sure to be casually late to the "date". In a second it seemed someone sat down besides her but it was only a disappointment.
A blonde boy sat in the seat left for the tall Serpent she was waiting for. Lilith couldn't help but roll her eyes when he winked over at her, she was all too used to this treatment. She had started coming here to forget about preppy assholes, and her family.
"I see you in here all the time, let me buy you a drink." His teeth are bleached white, the sight of them made me want to hit him.
"No." I denied immediately.
"I'm more than capable of buying my own." I turned back to my own drink at this but he doesn't leave, instead he throws his arm over my shoulder.
"You know, you should really except the drink. I'm the most attractive guy here tonight, your only shot really." He says in a disgusting way, his cockiness making me defensive.
"I don't settle. Get off of me." I can't help but glare as I push his arm off. My fingers go to my ankle to pull my pocket knife, I wasn't in the playful mood tonight. I had been raised to be naturally violent, always my first instinct and it was always unmerciful.
Before I even get the chance to open my knife though he's lifted by the back of his shirt and off the stool.
"Walk the fuck away from my girl before I make it so you can't walk." A deep voice demands without hesitation, no mercy in sight.
My cheek falls against my own fist as I watch Sweet Pea, almost dreamily, as he threatens the man. I can't help but smirk as the guy scrambled away from the bar.
"Nice to see you again too." His eyes flash to mine in amusement at my comment.
"Aren't you a sight for sore eyes, Angel." Sweet Pea looks me over as he sits down besides me.
"Yeah, that's what caused the whole problem." I joke taking a sip of my drink.
"Thank you." I say as I push my knife back into my boot, Sweet Pea watching it.
"You carry?" His voice holds curiosity which I suppose I understood as he was under the impression I lived in Greendale.
"Daddy and big brother's rules. I like having it though. It's fun." I smiled over at him as he leaned on the counter.
Sweet Pea orders himself a beer. Truthfully, I didn't need weapons. My hands were always enough.
"You act like a Southsider." I can't help but smile even though I felt guilty. What was I supposed to tell him? That I lived in Riverdale? That would only lead to him asking where and I couldn't tell him that without him knowing who I was.
Tonight he's in another black shirt, this one holding a red S on the front. "I'll take that as a compliment."
Sweet Pea smiles again, "You didn't mention you had a brother."
I couldn't help the slight grimace, "Oh, yeah. I don't like talking about him."
Sweet Pea nods giving me a worried look, I can only imagine what he was thinking of.
"He's an addict, drugs drove him crazy." I can't help the slight gulp I take as I think of Malachi.
When we were little he was my best friend, my biggest protector. He taught me how to ride a bike, swim and even fight. Now it's like all he does is yell, use, break things and hurt people.
"How was your week?" I ask quickly at the sad look on his face.
Even at my change of conversation Sweet Pea grips onto my hand in my lap, "My mom was an addict too, it's hard as hell to watch. If you need someone to talk to I'm here."
I try to blink the emotion out of my eyes, forcing it away with a laugh and a shrug. Ghosts don't have feelings.
"It's fine really, it's funny really." I down the rest of my drink at my sudden dry mouth and panicking heartbeat.
"It's not but if that makes you feel better than alright, Lili." Sweet Pea says with a knowing look.
I can't help but give him another smile in admiration. His eyes squinting at this look.
"How was your week, Sweet Pea?" I ask a little more forcefully which he only reacts with a grin.
"Better now." I roll my eyes at this but still let out a small giggle. The noise surprised me, never had I ever made that feminine of a noise. Yuck. God, what was he turning me into?
"How was Greendale?" I can't help my furrowed brows at this, for a split second in a moment of blush bliss forgetting my lie.
"Same old." I say back quickly once I remembered.
"Pea! I forgot my wallet." Another boy clasps his arms around my date, drawing his attention away from studying my face.
The boy looks to me, eyes widening. "I'm sorry, you're talking to him?"
I can't help but laugh, covering my mouth at the noise. "God! I hope your not his wingman."
Before I can think I put my hand down on Sweet Pea's thigh, just as swiftly his hand covered mine.
"You should know I don't need a wingman." Sweet Pea replies filled with a cocky attitude which made me roll my eyes.
"Oh wait, is this her-" Before the new teen can finish Sweet Pea cuts him off.
"Shut up, Fangs!" Sweet Pea runs a hand through his hair in what I assume is embarrassment.
"Oh, you're Fangs?" I can't help but say, letting my eyes look him over just to piss Sweet Pea off.
When I glance back at him I can tell it did, his jaw locked up as he stares at my face- my eyes. I only smile at him, his eyes rolling at this.
Sweet Pea's hand squeezes mine as we look back to each other, slowly his mouth pulling into a smile before he shakes his head.
"Geez. That's some chemistry right there." Fangs jokes only to get a swift punch from Sweet Pea in response which made me laugh.
"What do you want?" Sweet Pea grumbles.
"Let me borrow twenty bucks and I'll leave you and the lady alone." Fangs wiggles his brows at me before looking back to Sweet Pea.
The tall boy only rolls his eyes, "I just won this from you in pool."
I watch as Sweet Pea pulls a twenty from his jeans and hands it over.
"Nice to meet you, beautiful girl with big blu-" Fangs is cut off by another swift punch from Sweet Pea before he runs away.
I can't help but laugh, trying to stop myself from the horrified look on Sweet Pea's face.
"I'm glad you think I'm beautiful." I can't help but grin at him.
"Oh shut it, you know how pretty you are." Sweet Pea rolls his eyes before chugging part of his beer.
"Yeah, I do. Still nice when a nice guy says it though." I stir the ice in my glass.
"You think I'm nice?" Sweet Pea asked almost in confusion. When I nod to him he only scoffs.
"Baby, I'm in a gang I don't think that would consider as a nice boy attribute." I can't help but roll my eyes at his claim.
"Well I think you're just as nice as you are handsome." His eyes meet mine for a solid moment, his expression being something I couldn't understand.
"Thank you." Sweet Pea says, almost so
quiet I couldn't hear it over the music.
"Don't gotta thank me." I roll my eyes smiling over at him.
Sweet Pea rolls his eyes an obvious habit of us both, "Can I buy you another drink, Lili?"
I glance to my empty glass before nodding, "How about I buy you one? Seeing as you're out of twenty bucks."
Despite Sweet Pea trying to tug my hand away I got a twenty to the bartender for another drink for me plus another beer for him.
"That's a big wad of cash, you dealing or something?" It was a joke but it still made me flash him a look.
Sweet Pea tilted his head at this, "Are you a fucking dealer, Lilith?"
I laughed, "No."
He didn't believe me, that was clear. I didn't blame him, I was in fact lying but it made me nervous he could tell.
"Do you use?" Sweet Pea had an angry tone now as he looked at me.
"No, Sweet Pea." I couldn't help the slight snap in my tone before I looked back down to my drink.
"Alright, sorry." Sweet Pea took another swig of his drink.
His hand wrapped around my waist at my silence, a kiss quickly placed on my temple. "I'm sorry."
I glanced to him from the corner of my eye before nodding. I didn't use, despite it being a constant in my house. I hated watching the way my brother and dad acted. I didn't deal because I wanted to.
I looked back up to him, wanting to talk but still feeling a little choked up. Sweet Pea looked down to me for a moment before he leaned down forward further and gave me a kiss.
When he pulled back he smiled at me, almost as if he was waving a white flag. Why was I so comfortable with him? I should hate him, he should hate me. I should be swinging my blade at his face not wanting him to kiss me again.
"So, you gonna need a ride tonight?" Sweet Pea laughed a little before he glanced over his shoulder. Fangs stood besides a blonde in a red dress.
"I'd be happy to ditch him." I smiled up at him.
"You're rude." I laughed only for him to roll his eyes.
"He's my best friend, I know he'll be okay." Sweet Pea had a light in his eyes as he glanced back to his friend.
"How long have you known him?" I couldn't help but ask.
Sweet Pea laughs, "Basically since birth. Him, Toni and I have been together since kindergarten."
"Is Toni as cute as you?" I couldn't help but ask, wanting to annoy him.
"How could anyone compare, Baby?" Sweet Pea smiled but I only raised a brow.
I shake my head as I laugh at his comment, leaning closer towards his figure.
"I'll have you meet Toni sometime and you can tell me, alright?" I smile but I can't help but feel as if I definitely shouldn't meet anymore Serpents. That I definitely shouldn't even be with Sweet Pea despite how badly I wanted to be with him.
"Is there anyone you don't like in particular in Riverdale?" Sweet Pea gives me a weird look.
"Besides the obvious, no. Just the prissy Northsiders and punk ass Ghoulies." My eyes look away from him as I play it off as taking a drink.
"What if they weren't so bad? Like you met one you liked?" I continued to ask as I felt like I had to know.
"Unlikely. Northsiders think we're all garbage and Ghoulies are psychos, uncaged wild animals." Sweet Pea laughs as if it's a joke, as if he can't hear my heart breaking.
I didn't really know what I had though he would say, it had been proved to be true to him over and over again. If I had met him on a street in Riverdale I would have proved his assumptions correct.
The boy I liked thought I was psycho, an uncaged animal.
"Why so many questions, Lili?" I glance back up to him then.
"Just.. curious about Riverdale." His hand suddenly feels like it doesn't belong on me. I knew that if he had known who I was he wouldn't have ever approached me. If I had worn my leather he probably would've insulted me.
"Don't be. You're a lot safer here." I glance up at him again.
"You care if I'm safe?" My voice sounded soft, dare I say wounded. Sweet Pea looked back at me with a confused face.
"You think I would drive an hour to come see a girl I didn't give a shit about?" I can't help the smile that breaks across my mouth.
"Awh, Sweet Pea. You got a crush on me?" I tease leaning up to him.
"Oh shut up." He grumbled only to lean closer and connect our mouths. I placed a hand on the side of his neck, his hand on my waist tightening against me.
"I like kissing you." I can't help but say against his mouth.
"Yeah? Gonna love me fucking you." I can't help the bold blush that covers my face.
Sweet Pea laughs, "Can't go to yours?"
I shake my head no to which he nods at, "You wanna drive back to mine? You can stay the night."
I can't help but stare up at him, could I stay there an not endanger him? Malachi wouldn't try to hunt me down, I knew that. But would anyone recognize me?
"You don't have to, Baby. I'd be just as happy sitting here with you." Sweet Pea comforts me as he looks down on my face.
Either way, I nod. I wanted something to myself. Sweet Pea made me feel comfortable and safe. I felt like I could be myself- I didn't have to keep up my aggressive act on. I wasn't on edge with him. I wanted something that would make me happy for once.
Sweet Pea stands and wrapped his arm around my waist as he walked us towards Fangs.
"We're leaving." Sweet Pea called to him to catch his attention.
He grinned big at us, "Protect my boy, Lilith."
Sweet Pea rolled his eyes at this and ushered me out of the building and onto the street. I leaned into him as we started towards the end of the road, I always parked in the same spot.
"I take it your not a guy who likes to ride bitch, hm?" I ask before we turn the corner.
Sweet Pea smiles big at the sight of my red bike. "You are so fucking hot!"
His large hands cover the sides of my face as he kissed me, making me laugh loudly.
I hand him my keys warily, "I've never let anyone else drive her, don't make me regret this."
I let Sweet Pea start it after he promised not to hurt my baby. My arms wrapped firmly around his center as he pulled off.
By the time he pulled up to Sunnyside Trailer Park my heart was trying to claw itself out of my chest. It seemed to calm once Sweet Pea grabbed my hand and pulled me up the steps.
The inside was small but a lot nicer than my place, "It's so clean." I couldn't help but say.
Sweet Pea laughed, "I know I'm a guy but I'm not gross."
When he turns to look at my face it's almost like he knows that wasn't what I meant.
"Your family messy?" He tried to make it a joke but his eyes had softened as he approached me.
"I don't wanna talk about them, Sweet Pea." I place my hand on his chest once he was close enough to me.
Sweet Pea smiled, "Let's go to bed."
Sweet Pea walked me down the hall and to the bedroom, the bed was covered in a gray comforter and the walls were covered in posters.
I couldn't help but laugh at the multiple holes in the wall though. Sweet Pea rolled his eyes as he pulled a shirt and what appeared to be pants out of a dresser.
His hand offered them to me but I only accepted the shirt, not hesitating to pull off my own tight long sleeved top.
Sweet Pea's eyes seem to widen slightly in shock before they landed on my chest, which was adorned by a lacy black bra.
A large scar was present across my chest though, it was faded to a pale white and I hoped he wouldn't be able to see it.
Sweet Pea's hand moves to the side of my face while his lips come to mine. My arms immediately wrap around his neck as I move closer to him.
His hands grip onto my ass before he pulls me up and into his arms. I laugh against his mouth as he moves us towards his bed.
His tongue slides into my mouth as we continue, my back against his bed and his body against mine.
I moved back to tug his top off, Sweet Pea standing up to tug his jeans down. I follow suit by lifting my ass off the bed to unzip my leather skirt and pull it down my body. I lean up to unzip my boots before Sweet Pea is back on top of me.
I'm only left in my underwear and my black stockings. "You're so fucking hot."
At this grumble from Sweet Pea I put my hands on his sides, sliding one to touch him. He took in a deep breath once I reached inside his boxers to stroke him.
His mouth lands on my neck, surely leaving a hickey I wouldn't be able to explain. His hands move to tug my underwear down my legs, quick to touch me with his fingers.
Sweet Pea pushes a digit inside of me and adds another soon after as he begins moving them inside of me. I whine slightly against his mouth at the feeling.
I pushed his boxers off his hips and tried to tug him closer to me, to which he laughed at.
"Want me that bad, Baby?" His eyes shine down at me.
"Don't act like you don't want me just as bad." Sweet Pea smirks at me before giving me another kiss.
Quickly he's leaning off the bed and in the blink of an eye is putting a condom on. I watch in wait while he does it, glancing to his large length. A blush spread across my throat.
Sweet Pea's mouth is back on mine in seconds as his hips move back down to mine, I curl a leg over his hips as he pushes himself into me.
A noise leaves both of us at the same time as he begins rocking into me.
The night was spent in unbelievable bliss. He had taken me more times than I could remember and had fallen asleep clutched onto me. I hadn't slept so good in years.
