American Angel

Two surprises

Scarlett woke up the next morning and looked over at Tommy. He was laying face down and his bareback was showing. He had one arm around her. She took a deep breath and smiled.
"Staring isn't polite." He said without moving.
"Just admiring my view."
He turned his head and looked at her for a while.
"Now who's staring." She smirked.
He rolled his eyes.
"Get over here." He said as he pulled her over to him.
They were tangled up face to face.
"I have a surprise for you." He said.
"What is it?"
He ran his hand down the tattoos on her spine.
"Well that would ruin the whole surprise now wouldn't it?" He mocked.
She scrunched her nose and then he kissed her. They pulled away and a piece of hair fell in her face. Tommy ran his thumb over her freckles and pushed the piece of hair back. He shook his head as he marveled in her natural beauty.
"Beautiful." He said quietly.
Scarlett was truly surprised to see him like this. Even with her. She made eye contact with him.
"I wish we could stay in this moment forever. Just you and me in this bed." She said as she ran her hand across his face.
"Me too."
She leaned in and kissed him once. He sighed.
"But sadly there's reality."
"Fuck reality." She shook her head.
He eyed her and then got on top of her.
"Fuck reality." He smirked and then kissed her.
Eventually they had to get up and tend to usual business. Scarlett got up as Tommy leaned back in the bed and just watched her. She turned around with the sheet wrapped around her.
"Come on Mr. Shelby. Don't you have a surprise for me?" She joked.
"Two actually." He said.
She smiled. He got up and put his clothes on and walked over to her.
"Meet me at the office after you get ready."
She nodded and he kissed her on the cheek and then left. Scarlett took a bath and got dressed. She wore high waisted, wide, black pants with a black blouse. She made her way to the office and overheard Polly and Tommy talking in his.
"How long have you two been together?" Polly asked him.
Scarlett walked in then.
"We aren't together." Tommy said as he looked at Scarlett.
"Just business partners." Scarlett nodded.
Polly laughed.
"You two are lousy liars."
Tommy and Scarlett looked at each other. Polly threw her hands up in the air and smiled.
"About fucking time you came to your senses, Thomas."
Tommy nodded and then cleared his throat as he stood up.
"The surprise." He said as he escorted Scarlett out.
He walked over to a door that had Scarlett Jade Capone on it in gold letters. She looked at him and Polly in shock.
"You've been here long enough and you've done great work. It was time you have your own office." Tommy said as he opened the door.
She walked in and was shocked. No one had ever given her a gift like this.
"Well? What do you think?" Polly asked.
Scarlett shook her head.
"I love it." She said softly.
Polly squeezed Tommy's arm and then left the two alone. Scarlett walked over and hugged Tommy.
"Thank you." She said into his shoulder.
He pulled away and kissed her softly and then walked around and sat in her chair. She turned around and leaned over the desk.
"Do you feel powerful sitting in my chair, Mr. Shelby?"
"Oh I don't need to sit in your chair to feel powerful." He said mocking what she said to him a while ago.
She squinted her eyes at him.
"Well played."
He nodded and gave a closed mouth smile. They continued to talk, but were interrupted as John and Arthur busted in. Arthur walked up and put his arm around Scarlett and then John did the same on the other side.
"SJ with her own office! Tommy doesn't just hand these out." John said.
"Does this mean you're staying here?" Arthur questioned.
"Alright boys. Let's let Scarlett enjoy her office." Tommy said as he got up and pushed the two boys out.
She sat there and did paperwork for a while. She looked up as she saw a familiar looking man walk through the door and then she heard his voice. He was at Lizzie's desk talking to her. Scarlett heard her say something.
"Yes, I will join you for dinner. Mr. Changretta." Lizzie laughed.
Scarlett heard that name and completely changed. It's like the Earth had comes to a halt. She stood up and walked over to Lizzie's desk and slammed him up against the wall with her knife at his throat. Lizzie screamed and then everyone came out of their office's.
"Scarlett!" Lizzie screamed.
"Maybe I should cut your head off and send it to your brother." She hissed as she pressed her knife a little harder into his neck.
"Tommy stop her." Lizzie yelled.
Tommy and Polly knew why she was doing this, but no one else did. Scarlett grabbed his face and put her knife to his cheek. She was about to cut, but stopped.
"Scar." Tommy yelled.
"So you let just anyone call you that now?" The man smirked. She swallowed hard and gripped his face harder. She cut a little down his face and she felt Tommy'a arms on her. He grabbed her arms.
"Scarlett, it's okay. Take a walk." He whispered.
Changretta put his hand to his face to see if he was bleeding, which he was. Tommy slowly pulled Scarlett back. She broke free from him.
"I'm fine." She said.
"It was good to see you again, Scarlett." Changretta mocked.
Scarlett breathed hard and gripped her knife.
"Go take a walk." Tommy said softly.
Scarlett busted through the door and walked off. Tommy turned to look at Lizzie and Changretta.
"Are you the one?" Tommy said quietly.
"What the fuck are you talking about?" Lizzie yelled.
Tommy stared at the man. Then Lizzie hit the man in the arm.
"Angel, what the fuck are they talking about?"
Without breaking eye contact from Tommy, he spoke as everyone listened in.
"My brother cut off Scarlett's finace's head the morning of her wedding and I delivered it to her in a box. Man...was she beautiful in that white dress."
Arthur and John both went at him with their guns pointed, but Lizzie stood in front of him.
"Lizzie. Take him out before we do." Tommy said quietly.
She pulled him out of the office.
"What the hell, Tom?" Arthur yelled.
"His time will come, brother....and when it does, it will be at the hands of Scarlett." Tommy said.
Later on everyone was at the Garrison. Scarlett hasn't been seen since the incident earlier, but eventually she came in. She sat at the table with everyone. Arthur slid her a drink and she downed it. She poured herself another drink and blinked slowly as she stared at the wall. Everyone was silent as they looked at her.
"I will kill him. And his whole fucking family." She said with no emotion.
She downed that drink and then heard a voice call her name. She looked up and slowly turned around to see a man with tan skin and dark blonde hair. She stood up and looked at him.
             "Scarlett?" He said softly.
             "Wesley?" She questioned.
             "It's me, sis. It's me."
