That Night

 ***A/N: Co written with Sintah***

Betty was becoming obsessed with sex. It seemed to be everywhere. Maybe it 

always was, but she is just now noticing it. All of her friends seemed to be in a 

sexual haze.

Her new found discovery made her more aware of how her friends walked after a 

night out with their boyfriends or girlfriends. The guys seemed to have more of a 

swagger in their walks, and the girls seemed as if they had trouble sitting down. All 

had goofy looks on their faces.

 And Ethel, she had blossomed like a rosebud. She had more confidence, and was

actually being courted by her new man-Paul, the same very cute, ‘bubble butt’ boy

Nancy  mentioned before. He was gorgeous! Taller than Ethel too. But best of

all, he was devoted to Ethel.  Betty was so happy for her friend. She envied Ethel the

passage into womanhood she had made, though.

"Way to go Ethel" Betty gave Ethel the thumbs up when they passed Betty on the way

to the  movies. Paul was  really into whatever it was Ethel was saying to him. She

must have really laid one on him. He looked absolutely besotted.

Betty really started giggling when she saw Jughead sneaking in and out

of doorways behind Ethel and Paul. 'Was he following them?'

 "Hey Jug!" Betty yelled, startling him.

 "Uh, Hi  Bets. I know this looks funny.."

 "Don't sweat it Jug. Sometimes we don't know what we had until it's gone"

 Jughead nodded his head sadly. He had to get Ethel to talk to him. Did she still

love him?

 Betty wondered if Jughead was a virgin. Probably. But who could tell? It seemed 

like boys had it easy.

And then here comes Reggie Mantle. Two girls was hanging onto his very sexy,

muscular body

 He also waved as they passed. One of the girls whispered something to him,

causing him to give her his signature smirk.

 'Humm, what was that about?' Betty wondered.

 James, who she had been going out with for a little while, now was making up

excuses to keep from being alone with her. What was wrong with her? She didn’t

know that his problem was Reggie. Reggie told James he better keep Betty at a 

distance. She was to remain a virgin.

 It seemed that everyone was in their own little sexual world, no virgins allowed.

Everyone changed conversation when she was around. Was she a nun for

goodness sake?

 Betty was finding she turned red when she thought of her friends making love.

 They seemed to glow, in her eyes.

 "Reggie, how does a girl get laid?" Woof! That was the sound Reggie made as he

 Almost choked on the soda he had been drinking, red faced, shocked that Betty

would ask him such a question. He knows he heard her wrong.

 "Whaa, uh, wha was that Bets? Sorry about that." Reggie was quickly wiping up the

mess he just made.

 "Reggie, you heard me correctly"

 "Bets, you gotta  give a fella a heads up when you want to talk about sex. I almost 

choked to death. Why do you want to know ?  And who is the girl that wants to get

laid?”

 "Me of course, silly.”

 She had to pound Reggie's back. He was choking again. She was started to get

pissed off. What was so shocking about her wanting to have sex?

"Look Betty. I'm very uncomfortable about this subject. You should talk to Nancy or

your sister. Not me, of all people”

“Why not? You’re my best friend. Who else better to talk about this with?”

 “Bets, I would rather discuss sex with the Pope than with you. It's indecent”.

“Reggie, are you a virgin?”

“Bets!” Reggie actually blushed deep red. Reggie never blushed.

 She stifled a giggle. She embarrassed the Mantle. Ha!

"B-e-t-t-y, can we please change the subject. What is wrong with you? He reached

over to feel her forehead. You're not high are you?”  The last he whispered.

“Reggie if you don't answer me, I promise I'll ask it louder, the next time”

He knew she would.

“OK, no Betty, I'm not a virgin. There!’

Shit!

“Have you had a lot of girls? How many, were any of them virgins, who…??”

She just kept throwing out the questions.

"Are you doing a study or something Cooper? I do refuse to name names. You can't

get my lovers’ names out of me”. He looked serious. Betty liked that.

 She already knew who he had slept with. Well the ones at Riverdale High, anyway.

The girls made sure they kissed and told. Reggie Mantle was known as the

best lover at Riverdale High, He may not have known it, but she did.

He was perfect.

“Can we go for a drive Reggie? I have more to ask, but want no eavesdroppers”

 He readily agreed. Thank God! She should have enough information, for whatever

it was she was into.

He hoped James was behaving. Gotta have a little talk with him...

"I want us to have sex, Reggie.  I'm tired of being a virgin."

 "HOLY S_H_I_T!, I knew it.! You did smoke some weed , dropped E or acid, didn't

you.?  What the fuck, Betty?

Reggie was yelling. They were on a vacant hill, so no one heard him.

 “No way, no how. Betty you don't have sex because it's a fad. You should 

have desires, needs, at least. This is not a lab experiment. And I won't do it. What

am I a stud?”

 “Actually, I heard you were. and that's why I want you to be my first. You will make

sure I enjoy it, and cause me as little pain as possible. And keep it to yourself.

You’re perfect. I can't go to college a little girl. Please Reggie? Make me a woman.”

“Yes, I am perfect," He was hoping to joke her out of this madness. "Nope, no can

do” You should wait for that special guy,,,"

"There is no one more special than you Reggie. No one girl  in the senior class has

waited, or they’ve found their special guy.. Why should I be any different?

Everyone thinks I'm a child, when we're all the same age. It hurts Reggie”. She

actually had tears in her eyes.

“Please Betty. Let me get you home”

“Please Reggie!”

“No!”

He quickly drove her home, peck on the cheek. Close to  shoving her out of the car.

“Bye Bets. See ya!”

Reggie drove off, almost taking a piece of her ass with his car.

He nearly passed his house in his haste to get away from her.

After quickly greeting his folks, kissing his mom, he ran to his room.

“Betty just asked me to be her first. Why me?”

At the Cooper’s residence, Betty had a dreamy look to her face. 'Why not? He was perfect’

Betty had  made up her mind. Reggie was the chosen one. He would be her first.

 After that, Betty made sure she reminded Reggie of her request. She would mouth t

he word “Please " every time she saw him. He knew what she meant.

He would shake his head, fiercely, and keep moving. He made sure he was not

alone with her.

God, just a few more weeks before he and Chuck left for NY. They were both going

to Columbia University for Journalism and computer science.

"I just can't be caught alone with Betty.”

"Hey Reggie"

Reggie actually broke out in a cold sweat. Why he was so nervous to have sex with 

Betty remains to be seen. He never turned down a beautiful girl before. But this was

Betty. She was a special girl.

Today Betty decided to fight fire with fire.

She was dressed in a very sexy mini dress that left nothing to the imagination. And

she had her blonde hair down.

She made sure she had on a very seductive perfume. She blew her wages on the

outfit as she had no time to sew anything. Reggie would be gone soon. She had 

to strike now.

"Bets, how are you?”

He had his eyes closed in prayer. She was turning him on, that was for sure.

 'Please God make her go away. I just can't run that fast!’
