In honor of Valentine's Day ❤️
Archie's POV
My alarm blares in my ears and I groan. Suddenly I remember that it's Valentine's Day and I jump out of bed. Thank god today is also a Saturday because I have a full day planned for Veronica and I. I grab my phone and send her a text message:
A: happy Valentine's Day, I'll be by to pick you up in 2 hours.
V: just so you know, this holiday is overrated, but I'll bite. See you in 2 hours 💋
I laugh and toss my phone on my bed then start to get ready.
Veronica's POV
I smile and put my phone back on my nightstand. I stretch out in my bed and groan, I know Archie had big plans for today but I still make the "smart" decision to stay up watching friends. There's a knock at the front door and I roll out of bed and walk to the door. "Coming!" I shout as I grab a robe and wrap it around me. I open the front door and a delivery man is standing there with a dozen roses "Delivery for Veronica Lodge" he says. "That's me. Thank you" I say taking the roses and closing the door after he walks away. I put the roses on the table and look through them for a card. When I find it I grab it and pluck it from the bushel of roses.
Veronica,
Happy Valentine's Day, love. I hope you like these flowers. If these were delivered on time, I will see you in 2 hours. I love you, Ronnie.
Xoxo,
Archie
I smile at the card and I grab the empty crystal vase from the cabinet then proceed to fill it with water. I place the flowers in the vase and carry them into my room, placing them on my desk in front of the window. I smile at the flowers and grab my phone.
V: thank you for the flowers, and I love you too
I toss my phone on the bed and I walk into the bathroom to get a shower.
Archie's POV
V: thank you for the flowers, and I love you too.
I smile at my phone and then toss it on my bed. I grab a red tie and put it with my suit for tonight, which Veronica doesn't know about yet. I smirk and check my watch, I have to leave in 20 minutes. I grab my phone and text Reggie, who agreed to help me with my plans for today:
A: how's it going?
R: everything is set up. This is super cheesy, bro
A: girls love this stuff, maybe you'd have a girlfriend if you did this.
R: very true, Andrews.
I laugh and check my hair in the mirror. "Let's go" I say to myself and walk out the door. I bound down the stairs and see my dad sitting at the breakfast bar "Going to get Veronica?" He asks when he sees me pull my jacket on. "Yeah. First the lunch picnic, then to the bijou for a movie then we're going to dinner" I say. He smiles "I'm proud of you son, you treat her well" he says. I laugh "well I'm terrified not to, you know Mr. Lodge" I say. He laughs and says "Oh I sure do"
I pull up in front of the Pembrook and jump out of my truck to go get Ronnie. I walk in the Pembrook and step on the elevator to go to Ronnie's floor. When the door opens again I quickly walk down the hall and go to knock on the door. After I knock I hear her heels rhythmically click across the floor until they stop and the door swings open seconds later. When the door opens I see Ronnie looking as beautiful as she always does, she wearing a red off the shoulder shirt and a black skirt. "Ronnie, you look..." I fade out "absolutely prepossessing?" She asks smiling. "If that means hot then yes" I say. She laughs and takes me by the hand. "Come in I just have to grab my purse" she says as she walks into her room. "Where are your parents?" I ask while scanning the apartment. "It's Valentine's Day, they have a charity gala in New York. They won't be back till tomorrow afternoon, maybe you can finesse your way into being able to spend the night?" She requests while running her hands through mine, up my arms, and onto my shoulders. "I will definitely be here" I say, making her smile. I lean in and kiss her and she kisses me back, making me want to cancel all of our plans and spend the whole day doing this. I slowly start to slide my hand up her skirt and she pulls away "It's Valentine's Day, Andrews. At least take me to dinner first" she says. I laugh and kiss her cheek, then I grab her hand and lead her out of her room.
"Where are we going?" She asks after we've been driving for 20 minutes. "I'm not telling you" I say while looking over at her. She smiles at me "What?" I ask, wondering what she's got up her sleeve. "Nothing" she says while shrugging her shoulders, her completely bare shoulders. I smirk and look back at the road "you know, secrets aren't good for relationships" she says. I laugh "oh really?" I ask. She nods her head "Yeah. It's sometimes even catastrophic" she says. I take one hand off the wheel and put it on her leg "I love you" I say. She puts her hand on mine and leans up to kiss my cheek "I love you too."
I pull into a clearing to park the truck, which is right near the trail to sweet water river. "Isn't this where Kevin goes looking for random guys to hook up with?" Veronica asks. I nod my head "yes. But it's very nice during the day" I say. She laughs "Okay fine. I'm trusting you" she says. I smile, take her hand and say "that you should"
"Hmm I can't eat another thing" she says laying down on the blanket. I lay down next to her and look up at the clouds "I hate to ruin this perfect moment but we need to get going" I say. She narrows her eyes at me "where?" She asks. I smile at her "that's for me to know and for you to find out" I say standing up. I stick my hand out for her to take. She places her small hand in mine and I pull her up. When she's standing up she pulls me down a bit and kisses me quickly. She smiles up at me and says "Let's go, Archiekins."
"The bijou?" She asks as we park in the parking lot. "Yes I was thinking Breakfast at Tiffany's?" I ask while looking down at her. "Sounds perfect" She says while smiling at me. I hop out of the truck and walk around to the other side to open the door for Veronica. "And I thought you couldn't get any cheesier" she says. I shake my head "see that's where you're wrong. The cheesiness is just beginning" I say. She laughs "well I don't mind" she says while grabbing onto my arm as I pay for tickets. I read the ticket and turn to Veronica "Hmm it's a double feature... Breakfast at Tiffany's and in Cold Blood" I say. She exhales and says "oh the irony" (a/n you all better get that reference 😂)
"Okay now I'm taking you home. But I'm picking you up for Valentine's Date part 2 in 3 hours" I say. She looks at me puzzled "what else is there, Arch?" She asks. I shrug "just wear something fancy, preferably red" I say smiling. "Yeah I know Valentine's Day is red" she says. I shake my head "no, you just look great in red" I say smiling. She rolls her eyes and says "Okay. I'll wear read on Valentine's date part 2."
