Abby's POV:

I sit up taking off my dress and just put on regular clothes I made sure that everyone was asleep so I grabbed my pocket knife and slowly climbed out my window and down the window emergency ladder and down to the ground of the alleyway I look around the quiet surroundings as I began walking around the tranquility of my surroundings calmed my thoughts as I reflected on tonight and dancing with Riff, before Bernardo ruined it I sigh gently humming to myself as I walked then I decided to cut through an alleyway and then I saw a building that had a little light shining through it I decided to check it out I slowly crept over to the door and pushed it open giving it some way then it opened revealing a red car and I heard some music I close the door slightly looking around the car shop I drag my hand along the car I pick up a wrench looking at it then sat it back down "Hey, youse aren't allowed to be-

oh hello Abby." Riff says coming from behind a curtain holding a screwdriver I look at him more thoroughly he has his signature white tank top and blue jeans but he was covered in grease and dust sweat glistening his face soaking his tank top making his muscular body show I felt my insides begin to churn
my body begging to feel him kissing me so many things I want him to do to me but I cleared my throat trying to ignore my thoughts my face and ears turning red instantly at my thoughts and by looking at him "H-hey Riff." I replied he smirks setting the screwdriver down by the wrench "Four times in one day huh? Ya think it's fate?" He asks leaning over the car I smile "Well I wouldn't call it that I guess." I replied he smirks lighting a cigarette he put it in his mouth as he lit it then he offered the package to me "Oh Riff I don't smoke." I say he nods at me I look at the pack then at him "Oh what the hell?" I say and took one he smiles tossing me the lighter "So why youse here Abby?"

He asks me I sigh "I just wanted to walk around, clear my thoughts, not be cooped up in that apartment so I left." I replied "Bernardo didn't care huh?" He asks I smile "No I actually snuck out afta he and the others fell asleep." I replied he looks at me smirking "Youse a bad girl." He says picking up the screwdriver from the table by me then he laid on the creeper and went under the car and began doing something then he set down the screwdriver "Hey Abby, can youse hand me the wrench please?" He asks "Oh sure here." I say handing it to him he smiled and slid back under the car fixing a few things "So you repair cars huh?" I asked he rolls out from the car he looks at me "Yeah I'se do, I do it for extra pay hopefully I can get out of this place." He says I nod he stood up and lifted the hood of the car and began using a screwdriver on the engine of the car I pick up the wrench and laid on the creeper "Hey Riff can I help you with

the car?" I asked he looks at me thinking it over he shrugs "Sure, just unscrew a few lug nuts and a few bolts okay? If you need any help let me know." He says I nod smiling rolling up my sleeves and rolled under the car and. began unscrewing the lug nuts and bolts I grabbed some pliers and began fixing a few wires it caused a few tiny sparks but that's what I wanted and then I repaired the wires "So Riff do you know how this car got busted?" I asked him rolling out from the car and looking at him "I'm not quite sure, but I think it was being driven and hit some fences and got caught in a ditch."He replies looking at me then going back to fix the engine "l'd see why, due to the blow from a few fences the debasement of the transmission you'll need a new one." I replied rolling out from the car wiping sweat off my head "Huh I'm impressed Lucky, I'se didn't think you knew anything about repairing cars." He says stopping for a

minute throwing a towel over his shoulder before looking at me with surprise and amazement on his face I smile "Yeah, when I first came here from Puerto Rico to Manhattan I got into a bit of a fight with Bernardo about something stupid so I hid in alleyways until Tony found me when he did we became the closest of friends one of the things he taught me was to repair cars as well as some fighting then after he got taken to prison I was devastated losing my best friend, my brother, he was there for me when no one else was then I stopped waiting for him it felt like I lost my other half you know?" I finished he sighs sitting beside me "Yeah, I'se know how you feel Abby." He replies I nod he put an arm around me that made butterflies swirl in my stomach "I'se didn't know you were from Puerto Rico, Lucky" He says I nod "Yeah, I was born there of course I don't look like I come from there but my mother was Caucasian and my dad was Puerto Rican

I'm guessing they didn't love me enough to keep me so I was left on the streets then I was found by Bernardo and the others and I was taken in and raised by Bernardo and Anita, 'Nardo raised me to fight and to be fierce and he always told me to avoid you even Tony, Tony I guess wanted to protect me because he knew my past and where I came from I guess Bernardo and Tony never wanted me hurt but really you're a nice guy." I replied he nods his head and squeezes my shoulder "I understand your pain Abby." He says wiping the sweat off his face "Really? Your parents hated you so much that they left you and then the people who take care of you want you to adhere to certain rules and aspects of your life?" I asked he scoffs "You ask hard questions but yes, actually my parents abandoned me all the Jets had rough childhoods all our folks abandoned us and the only way to protect ourselves is to fight for what's

ours." He replies I nod "Wow, I-I didn't know you went through that Riff, I'm sorry." I whispered "Hey, it's okay we all have our hard times." He replies standing up he took my hand helping me up "Yeah, I guess you're right." I replied he smiles at me nodding his head I walk over to the hood of the car him beside me "So youse said I need to get a new transmission?" He asks I nod "Yes you need a new one." I replied he nods fixing the fuel gage in the engine then he closed the hood latching it in place he smirks at me "So um it's pretty late Abby." He says I look at him "Yes that's true." I replied he smiles walking over to me wrapping his arms around my waist I look at him "What do you say, we clean up and I take you out?" He asks me I look at him surprised then smiled "I'd love that Riff" I replied he smiles he unwrapped his arms from my body and took off his tank top I stood there staring at his body "Oh.." I mumbled softly he looks at me with a

smirk "Like what you see huh?" He asks I look away "Oh um I-I wasn't looking! Not me no way." I stammered getting embarrassed he smiles putting a few strands of hair behind my ear looking into my eyes I felt my face flush red with arousal as I looked at him I felt the urge to kiss him right then and there but something held me back he smirks walking over to a wall and started taking off his jeans I just stood there staring "R-Riff um." I trailed off he looked at me with a sly smirk "Yes?" He asks "Um what are you doing?" I asked him my body instantly getting chills and my heart began to accelerate "Changing why?" He asks he was just in boxers now I place my hand on my forehead blocking my vision "N-no reason." I replied clearing my throat he walks over to me "Shit." I mumbled "Are you turned on? Is that what's wrong?" He asks softly looking at me with one of the most sincerest and beautiful smiles I've ever seen "-is that

what it's called?" I asked him my body shaking my heart began racing even faster by him just looking at me and also because he's only in his boxers he smirks tilting my head up at him with his index finger and thumb his want his colliding our lips together I was taken aback completely but I wrapped my arms around his waist kissing him back pulling him closer to me he moaned slightly but then pulled away we look at each other for a second but then we stepped away from one another completely shocked with what we just did "I..uh." we both stammer both of us turning red Riff looked cute with a blush on his face it made him more adorable I was pulled back into
reality when he grabbed a cloth and began washing all the grease off hin
I stood there I fanned my face so I could try to cool down "Oh...my" I whispered cooling down he chuckles at me and put his tank top back on and slid on his jeans he came over to me he started cleaning off the grease from my face gently making sure it didn't make my face red and hurt after he finished he put the cloth away and put his shoes on then he pulled a tarp over the red dust covered car he looks at me extending his hand "Shall we darling?" He asks smiling at me I smiled back "We Shall."
