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

Chapter Eleven

"Thank you so much, Anita!" I tell her as we enter her apartment. I smile and she smiles back at me.

"It's no problem, but take my advice- you should not be hanging out with Riff and his gang, they only start trouble," She told me her concerns. "Anyways what were you thinking about for the dress?" She asked me.

"Ummm I don't know, what do you think would look good?" I ask her because I know what I like but I am not sure on what I want yet. Then I did a spin for her while she was thinking.

"Hmmmmm," she was thinking then she snapped. "I got it!" She then came to me and took all my measurements, I was giggling while she was doing it. I don't know why but I was. "Okay your all good to go, come back in 2 days and it will be ready," she told me.

"Okay how much will it cost?" I asked her.

" Like I said usually 40 but for you I will do 20," Anita told me with a smile. Even though she was smiling, it felt like she was trying to get me out of her apartment as nicely as possible. I smiled back at her and pulled out my wallet. I pulled out 30 crumpled up dollars and handed them to her.

" here you go, thank you so so very much," I told her with a smile and left her apartment. I started walking back to the docks. I wanted to clear my mind.

I listened as the waves hit the shore. It was peaceful the air smelled like salt and smoke. It was an interesting combo but calming at the same time.

I hope that Johnny or Riff would find me and take me back to that abandon building to take a nap. I don't know why but lately I've just been exhausted. Maybe it's the nightmares but I don't know.

I lean on a piece of wood and watch the waves. Like I said already, they calm me down instantly. I love it.

As I think about nothing but everything at the same time Riff comes to mind. When he took me out on the breakfast date or when he cuddled me to sleep, how he smelled was comforting, and I wish to smell that now, but I don't.

I don't know how or why I like him so much already. It's only been a day or two. I hate how anyone who is remotely nice to me I like instantly, but that's just how I roll. I wish you'd be here right now to hug me. I miss his warm touch.

I wonder if he likes me the way I like him or is he just pitying me? He doesn't seem like the person to do that. He only cares about himself, so I wonder if he is then why?

I eventually get bored from watching the waves, and hearing the sounds they make. The water looks nice today even if it was not the hottest day in the world. I walked off of the docks and onto the sand. It was sunny today so the sand was painfully hot. I ran to the edge of the water to cool my feet because I had taken off my shoes earlier.

The water was freezing as soon as it touched my feet, my whole body got the shivers, I brought my arms to my chest and rub them together to try and warm myself. It did not work so well. the water intrigues me though, hot or cold so I rolled up my jeans and walked in deeper until the water was up to my knees.

The water was still freezing, but calmer than before. I eventually decided to get out because it was getting chilly out. I had no way to dry myself so I just walked back up to the docks.

I put on my dirty, beat up shoes and started walking where I thought the abandon buildings were. I hope on the way I see a jet maybe they couldn't give me some directions. I don't remember the way and I know that, so why I am aimlessly walking around I have no clue. I eventually find my way back into town and see the store I stole a candy bar from earlier.

I walk inside and the bell and the door rings. Tony or Superman as Riff calls him looks over at me. He gives me an unknown look like asking why am there.

" hey superman" I gave him a smile and said.

" what's this time Harley?" he asked it seems like he had a long day and I was bothering him.

" I was just wondering if you knew the directions to the abandon buildings that Riff stays at? That's where I slept last night and the night before and I'd like to get there cause I'm exhausted." I asked him and gave him an explanation.

" oh, that's all, okay then. Let me take you there. I wanted to go on a walk anyway," he told me and returned my smile. I jumped up a little bit happy because he was kind enough to walk me there. He chuckled, then went downstairs to tell Valentina his boss that he was going to be back in 30 minutes or so.

"Okay, let's get going," he said, and then lead the way out the shop door and into the street. We were walking side-by-side in a comfortable silence. I made sure to memorize the way there so next time I know where it was. He seem to lead me there with ease like he's been there 1000 times he probably has.

I saw it in the distance and he stopped a little ways from it. " aren't you coming to say hi?" I asked him confused.

" no honestly I don't want to deal with them right now, it's not that I don't love them but I need to focus on myself and seeing them will probably only be a bunch of problems." he told me honestly, I was surprised by his words.

" OK if you say so, see you later" I said and turned and started walking over. He said bite me as well and started walking away.

1057 words.
