Tommy and Grace walked down the isle and out the door. Everyone stood up and followed them. The Shelby's tried to find Scarlett, but she got lost in the crowd. Grace and Tommy were taking pictures outside with their families as people were standing around in groups. Tommy and Grace were posing with the Shelby family as Scarlett walked out of the church. She took each step gracefully in her dress that hugged her figure perfectly. Her hair flowed in the wind. It's like she walked down the steps in slow motion. The whole family noticed her and looked her way.
"I thought she cried and left town?" Grace said.
"Can't torture you from across the pond." Polly smirked.
Tommy looked at Polly and then looked back at Scarlett. She was standing there as the sun hit her. She smiled as Alfie walked up and hugged her. Tommy was about to walk over, but Grace pulled him back.
"It is our wedding, Tommy. We have pictures to take." She said sternly as she gripped his arm.
Tommy watched Scarlett and Alfie talk as the pictures were taken.
"Someone should take a picture of ye, love. You look like a damn model in that dress." Alfie said.
"Thank you, Alfie. You look handsome in your suit." Scarlett said back.
"I'm surprised you came." He said.
"Honestly...me too." She sighed.
He side eyed her.
"Well since your man, who isn't your man is officially off the market...how about testing the waters with the one and only." He said to her.
She smirked at him.
"So you're considering it?" He smiled.
"Alfie." She laughed as she shook her head.
"Hey, I didn't hear a no."
They both laughed. Tommy could not take his eyes off of the two.
"Tommy!" Grace yelled.
He snapped out of it and looked at the camera as the rest of the family looked over at Scarlett talking.
"So I heard an American woman elbowed Sabini in the face at his own club." Alfie said.
Scarlett just looked at him like she knew nothing.
"Would you know anything about that?" He asked.
"He grabbed my ass!"
Alfie laughed and shook his head.
"Do you always punch above your weight class?"
She put her hand on his arm and looked him in the eyes.
"No one is above my weight class." She said slowly in a threatening tone.
Alfie cleared his throat.
"Mmmm you....you are something." He smirked.
She laughed and took her hand away. Everyone started to follow the Shelby family as they walked to the cars.
"Everyone get in their cars and follow us to Tommy and Grace's new house for the reception!" Jeremiah said.
Scarlett got in her car and Alfie jumped in the front seat. She looked over at him.
"Oh I'm riding with you, love."
Before she could respond, Tatiana got in the back. Scarlett and Alfie turned to look at her.
"Thanks for the ride, Ms. America." She smirked.
Scarlett shook her head and smiled. Alfie looked at Scarlett.
"Everyone has a nickname for you. I need one for you." He said.
"Or you could just call me by my real name."
"No, no. What sounds best? Lady Liberty, Capone, SC?" He questioned.
"Whatever you want, Alfie." Scarlett sighed.
"Alright, lover." He said.
She eyed him and shook her head. She put the car in drive and followed everyone. They parked outside the gate and joined everyone as they walked down the long drive.
"Scarlett, you should come to this party with me later and maybe take me up on my offer." Tatiana smirked as she looked at Scarlett.
Alfie looked at Tatiana and then quickly turned his head to Scarlett.
"Can I come?" He blurted out.
Tatiana looked him up and down.
"Could you handle two women?" She asked.
He nodded his head and smirked.
"Thank you for answering my prayers." He said as he looked up at the sky.
Tatiana and Scarlett looked at each other and laughed. They walked inside and everyone was seated by the maids. Tommy and Grace sat at the head of the long table. Arthur and the family sat close to them. Scarlett was sat in between Tatiana and Alfie.
"So I heard you were leaving." Tatiana said to Scarlett.
Alfie looked at Scarlett who nodded.
"Yeah, I was supposed to leave this morning, but I'll just have to catch the next boat."
Tatiana ran her hand under Scarlett's dress and up her thigh. Scarlett's eyes went wide and Alfie was enjoying every second of it. Only the three could see.
"Perhaps I could give you a reason to stay." Tatiana whispered.
Scarlett swallowed hard.
"Um...Ms. Duchess...Russian...woman....I have been waiting on Scarlett, so I get her." Alfie said.
"We could both have her and have double the fun." Tatiana smirked.
Scarlett sat there and didn't know what to do. Just then they announced that Arthur was about to give his best man speech.
"Oh thank God." Scarlett said quietly.
Tatiana pulled her hand off and they listened to Arthur speak. Arthur struggled with his speech, but it was really sweet. Scarlett could tell how nervous he was, but it was heartfelt. Everyone ate dinner and then stood up to dance and mingle. Scarlett was getting a drink when a man in a red uniform walked up to her.
"So you're the bitch that put that scar on me niece's face." He threatened.
Scarlett smiled and walked a few steps and turned back to him. She raised her arms up and did a small bow.
"The one and only."
She smirked and walked away. A slow song started playing and she walked over to Arthur. He was alone. She grabbed his hand and he gave her a weird look.
"I couldn't leave without a last dance." She smiled.
He smiled and then they made their way to the dance floor. They danced and laughed.
"I thought you were going home?" He asked.
"There are other boats. Home can wait.."
"So what convinced you?"
"You. The only one that could." She smiled.
He smiled back at her and then spun her.
"You just couldn't let him down could you?" He joked.
She shook her head and then Jeremiah made an announcement.
"It is now time for the first dance of Mr. and Mrs. Shelby." He said.
Everyone clapped and got off the dance floor as the two walked on. Ada, Polly, John, and Michael walked up to Arthur and Scarlett. They were all looking on at Tommy and Grace dancing. Tommy and Grace had their foreheads together and he was actually smiling. The Shelby's looked at Scarlett.
"Look at him. I haven't seen him smile in a long time." Scarlett said to them.
She gave a closed mouth smile.
"I think he's actually happy." She added.
They all looked at her and then watched Tommy and Grace dance. The song ended and so did the dance. Scarlett was in the corner smoking a cigarette when Tommy walked over.
"You came." He said.
She nodded.
"Do for Tommy Shelby. That's what I do best." She said as she blew smoke.
He gave her a look.
"Can we talk in private?" He said as he pulled her into a room and shut the door.
"Now you want to speak in private." She said.
He shook his head and walked over to her and kissed her. She pushed him away right as he did it.
"What the hell, Tom?"
He gave her this look like he did nothing wrong.
"You literally got married like ten seconds ago." She added.
"Everything I said at the altar was for you. Every word. I heard everything you said to me in the hospital and I feel the same." He said as he walked closer to her.
"That's nice of you to figure out now."
"I love you, Scarlett....you." He said as he got closer and closer.
She backed up and put both of her hands out to stop him.
"Are you saying this to make yourself feel better? To get it off your chest? Or are you just trying to torture me?"
"I love you, Scar."
"No, you love what I do for you." She said as she pushed past him.
He grabbed her hand and pulled her around to face him.
"I would never say anything of those things to anyone else. Never and you know that." He yelled.
"Yeah well none of that matters now that you've said I do." She yelled back.
"And I wish it would've been you up there!"
"Well it wasn't."
He put his hand on her face and ran his thumb over her cheek. She slapped it away.
"What do you want from me, Tommy?" She yelled.
"I want you!" He yelled back.
She scoffed and shook her head.
"You don't get to have your cake and eat it too."
He had his hand on his face as he shook his head.
"Tommy, you genuinely looked happy when you were dancing with her."
"I was." He sighed.
She nodded and looked at the ground.
"Then why the fuck are we wasting our breath." She said.
"What do you want me to say? Eh? I am not swallowing my feelings. I don't put them aside." He yelled.
"Yeah you're the only one. I mean look at me. I didn't even want to come, but I did. I swallowed my pride and put my feelings aside and came for you. Because you asked." She yelled.
"Do you expect me not to fight for you?" He said quietly.
"Yeah I did, but I expected it months ago.......You aren't fighting for me, Tom. You're just fighting me."
She walked to the door.
"I am fighting for you." He yelled.
She turned around and looked at him.
"You can't fight for something that's already dead." She said and then walked out.
Tommy flipped the table that was in the room. Arthur and Polly heard it and ran in. They saw Tommy standing with his two hands on top of his head.
"Well I did it now." Tommy said quietly.
"Did what?" Polly asked.
"I pushed her away for good. I told her I loved her."
"The fuck is wrong with you?" Polly asked.
"Everything!" He screamed at the two.
Polly and Arthur hadn't seen him like this in years.
"Well where is she now?" Arthur asked.
"I don't know. She probably left." He said as he threw up his hands.
Arthur looked at Polly and then he ran out. He made it outside and saw Scarlett's car pulling out. He jumped in a car and followed her all the way to the docks. She was about to walk onto the last boat headed out that night, until she heard Arthur screaming.
"Scarlett what are you doing?" He asked out of breath.
"What I should've done this morning."
"But."
She walked up and hugged him.
"Tell the family I love them and I'm sorry I couldn't say goodbye again. I'm just glad we got our last dance."
He held her out by her arms.
"Are you going back to New York?"
"For a little bit, but not for long."
She walked onto the dock and he yelled.
"Well then what are you going to do?" He asked.
"Conquer the world."
