Morris Delancey X Reader

Chapter 6

Y/N POV

Soon enough Saturday rolls around. I sold my papes today pretty quickly because I wanted to have enough time to get ready for tonight. I'm home by 5:00 today so I head to the bathroom and decide to take a bath. I wash off all the dirt and sweat from today and then dry off.

All the boys are back by 6:00 and are leaving at 6:30 to go to Meddas. So I stay in the Bathroom and try to style my hair so it's nice enough for the evening. I add a bit of makeup to my face. It's all stuff Medda gave me so it's a bit flashy.

I walk downstairs to say hi to everyone when I'm greeted by cat calls.

"Wow Sweet looking sharp" Romeo says

"Hot damn" says someone else

"Being with her would be better than a Saturday night with the mayors daughter" Blink says

"Shut it" Race quiets them and I shot him a thankful look.

"Well this was fun for about 3 seconds but goodbye" I say turning on my heel and walking away. But footsteps follow me.

"Hey sweet are you okay? And why do you look like that, not that it's bad" Race questions.

"I felt like trying something new but I'm not a fan of the outcome" I say "when are you guys going to Meddas?" I ask

"Now actually, see you later Sweet" Race says and pecks my cheek. Once he runs downstairs he yells.

"LETS GO TO MEDDASSSSSS" and dozens of footsteps leave the building. I go to make sure the coast is clear and no one is left thankfully.

I put the dress on and smooth it out in the mirror next I put the shoes on and try to walk in them. I've been a newsies for awhile now so I'm used to my work boots not heels. I glance at the clock and it's already 7:00 I hear a knock on the loding house door and yell "ITS OPEN" and in walks Morris Delancey while I am still at the top of the stairs.

"Hi?" He asks

"Up here" I say and his eyes land on me

"Wow" he starts "You look really really pretty" I blush a bit and start walking down the stairs. When I'm almost to the bottom i trip on my dress and fall but Morris catches me. And as he does that there is only a small gap between him and me. We both stare at each other and he licks his lips. But before anything can happen there are shouts from outside and I knew the newsies for some reason were back. I grab Morris's hand and lead him up the steps to the bunks. Once we're up there we both slip out onto the fire escape.

We decend and make our way to the ground. Once we're both on the ground Morris sticks out his arm for me to take inwhich I do.

"My uncle got Us a carriage to take us to Pulitzers" he says.

"Okay" I say and he leads me a few blocks to where sure enough Oscar and who I assume is his girlfriend wait impatiently.

"You're late" Oscar says "Y/N.." he then looks me up and down before continuing ".you clean up nicely" and his date elbows him.

"Hi I'm Jennavive" the girl says. "Y/N but everyone calls me Sweet" I say

"Actually tonight let's drop the Newsie act and just use Y/N please" Morris says.

"Oh right" I say and then a carriage makes its way up to us. "Carriage for the Delancey's?" He asks "Yes" Oscar replies and we get in.

Oscar and Jennavive sit on the side closest to the driver and I sit next to to Morris on the opposite side. We start to make our way to Pulitzers but we end up on a very bumpy street. I think Morris could tell I was restless and feeling a bit uneasy so he grabbed my hand in his and ran his thumb over my hand a few times. I smiled at him and he returned the smile. Soon enough the carriage comes to a holt and we are infront of Pulitzers Building though you could probably call it a castle and no one would be the wiser.
