When The Stars A-line Riff x reader West Side Story 2021

Chapter three

I dream of warm arms bringing me into an intoxicating like state. I feel like I'm floating, being weightless.

I feel the warmth of a sun- an enclosed space of warmth, I feel like I'm in the arms of a dream- a spirit like state.

Until it wholeheartedly consumes me....

I wake up in a jolt, but I can't move. I'm trapped.

I open my eyes to find myself on a bed, not comfortable but better then the floor. I feel the presence of a body behind me where my back is touching there chest.

I am facing the wall so I have no clue which boy is behind me but at this point I don't know what to do.

I feel so complete- like I'm attached to my missing puzzle piece. I have butterflies in my stomach but good ones not the scary what should I do ones.

I try moving just an inch but his arms are wrapped protectively around my waist and are getting tighter ever time I try.

I eventually accept the fact that I am trapped in this arms and that I kinda like it- like a lot more then I should be. I mean who wouldn't, he is so warm and smells like citrus and cinnamon and the way he holds me- it's gentle but fierce, quiet but loud, there but not. It is like he is so scared of braking me but at the same time he can't let go of me.

I'm absorbed into his arms as I fall back asleep.

"Good morning doll," I hear a whisper as I wake up.

"Five more minutes," I mumble and turn a one-eighty so I'm facing his chest.

He snickers and then I think about it 'doll' who says that?

Riff

Riff calls me that- no one else there has only him! So that means- I open my eyes in a flash to meet his face with the iconic smirk he always has plastered on his lips.

"Something wrong? You just jumped!" He asked and stated the obvious.

I shack my head 'no' quickly. He looks at me with eyes of concern until some one snaps him out of it.

"What are we doing today Riff?" One of the boys behind him says. He quickly turns around and sits up forcefully.

"Probably the usual and cause a little trouble, unless you have a better idea on what to do, Numbers," he states with confidence.

"I meant what are we going to do with the girl?" The same person says in a duh tone. Until I speak up.

"My names Delilah you know!" I tell him because I don't want to be referred to as 'the girl'.

"Yeah yeah I heard you sweetheart," he says not interested in what I have to say.

My blood boils so I stand up, but then Riffs arm stops me from moving anywhere.

"Hey hey why don't we all just calm down a little, Numbers you leave her alone." He scolds. I stick my tongue out at him, he rolls his eyes in defeat.

Riff turns to look at me.

"So doll, do you want to stay here and wait for baby John or do you want to come walking with us and stir up some trouble?" He questions.

I look at him

"I guess since you guys live here and I want to see the city I will walk with you guys while you guys start mischief," I say because I'm curious about the city and what has changed since I was here last.

"O - kay - doe - key - pre - tea" he said and took my and and stood up while yanking me up as well. I stumbled a little so he put his hand on my back to keep me steady.

"Thanks" I mumble. He nods then turns to the jets directions.

"Jets!" He says loudly then turns so he walks out of the room first, everyone follows so I abruptly start following behind.

After we get out of the building I get pushed to the front next to Riff.

"Whatcha doing in the back doll? Your the honorary guest you should be in the front." He pauses for a second then slaps my back lightly. "Walk tall, we're Jet's!" I pull my posture up so I fit in with the rest of them better.

Riff smirks

"Ready for some real fun." He questions hypothetically knowing he would force me into it anyway.

I smirk

"I was born ready," I say casually.

He smirks again then pulls me into a woman's jewelry store.

"Take anything you'd like doll" he says and pushes me in slightly.

I first spot this beautiful, beautiful pair of earrings that had an obsidian stone with silver surrounding it. I stole it and put it in my leather coat pocket that I still had on from last night.

"Excuse me, miss your going to have to pay for that!" Some store lady says. I ignore her and walk out and back with the Jet's.

Riff smiles then pats me on the back, then the rest of them do.

"I didn't know a girl like yourself could steal so easily, Doll" he finished.

"Well Riff your a little late to the party because I have been stealing since I was three, I even showed Johnny how to steel- he was a scared chicken back when we were younger." I say happy that he is proud of me.

I look into his eyes, he stares back at me. Then I feel my cheeks get warm to the touch and look down hiding my face from the world.

He pulls my chin back up with one hand and smirks then pulls me close so his mouth is next to my ear.

"You don't have to hide your blush from me, doll," he said cockily then backed up.

At that point my face got so red to the point where a tomato would be jealous of me.
