Nicknames

Gracies House

Gracie May was sat chatting with Ada while sharing a cup of tea "I know it's not much, it's small but I find it peaceful" Gracie said referring to her house.

Ada pulled a face "it's beautiful Gracie pulled right out of a book, your house is so cozy" she replied "so you said you had an old lover what happened".

Gracie choked on her tea "Oh yes he was something else" Gracie muttered clearing her throat, "sorry if you are uncomfortable talking about him I'm nosy" Ada could see how uncomfortable Gracie became under the pressure of talking about her old lover.

"Don't be silly Ada he was just something else, he was so loving, a very handsome man and he used to bring me on dates all the time" Gracies eyes glowed as she spoke about the good times with her old lover. "He used to treat me like royalty, I was young and blinded by love".

"Why do you say keep saying it in passed tense" Ada questioned "oh he become what's the word" Gracie was trying to think "strange" Ada replied trying to help her "yes yes sort of, he just changed I missed the old him but I decided I needed a new beginning, when my parents died he wasn't much help and staying in London were all my memories of my family didn't help either" Ada could tell Gracie did love her old boyfriend a lot but she couldn't understand how the man changed.

Hours later after talking

Ada waved goodbye to her new friend before leaving heading to Polls as it was getting late, "god he'll be the death of me" Gracie May thought to herself.

Gracie May and her old lover and a confusing relationship her adoptive parents used to like him when he was his old self but over time he became controlling and a horrid human someone you wouldn't want to be in a relationship, Gracie was too good for him she stayed with him because she thought she could change him. He was manipulative and always told Gracie her business would fail, when Gracie finally escaped him she kept having the nightmares but she was inspired to make her business success then he would finally change.

He would become happy and soft again he would be proud of her success and they could be a couple again, something Gracie dreams off getting her old lover back.

Gracie was snapped out of her daze when a knock came from her door, she walked over and opened the door "oh hello John" She smiled at the Shelby standing in front of her.

"Tommy wants to see what your caps look like see what design you do" he replied "hello to you too" he laughed.

Gracie let him inside her house "let me just get changed you stay here I'll be right back, there is some tea in the tea pot if you want to get some" Gracie quickly ran upstairs and got changed.

She grabbed a long flowery skirt she had previously made and paired it with a peachy coloured oversized jumper.

"This is beautiful" she whispered to herself as she put on her mother's old necklace.

Gracie May ran down the stairs "I'm sorry to keep you waiting John" she explained as John observed Gracie May and how beautiful she looked.

"You look good Tommy will love it" he smirked as the two stood outside so Gracie could locked her front door. Gracie scoffed "I have you know John my old lover is the man I'm focused on" she replied as they walked together.

John rolled his eyes "does your old lover not have a name" he asked.

Gracie May was a bit taken back as no one ever asked for her old lovers name "that's hardly important" she laughed causing John to laugh "come on you can't keep the big man waiting".

Garrison Private Room

John and Gracie May walked through the doors and sat down "right Miss King what day suits you to bring all the caps you have to Pols house, I want to have a look at them" Thomas announced as he surveyed her outfit.

"I love your outfit Gracie" Finn smiled "thank you" Gracie May smiled back "right enough flirty with our Gracie May you" Arthur slapped the back of Finns head.

"Oh Mr Shelby tomorrow suits me perfect" Gracie and Tommy weren't on first name basses as they had only talked twice and both those times it was business related.

"God you are so fucking boring" John groaned causing Gracie to shoot him a confusing look "your name is Gracie right" he asked "ye" she replied confused on where this was going.

"And your name is Tommy so fucking call each other Tommy and Gracie" John said clapping his hands together. Gracie looked back at Tommy "right well Tommy I can bring the caps to Pols tomorrow when time suits you" Gracie May sighed at her English.

"I can bring the caps tomorrow to Pols at what ever time suits you" she smiled proudly as her English came out great the second time "Ok Gracie what time does your shop close" Tommy asked now using their first names.

"Five o'clock" she replied smiling as Arthur put his arm around his shoulder "right be at Pols no later then half five" with that Tommy got up and walked out.

"He don't trust me does he" she asked looking between the Shelby brothers "what do you mean" Arthur asked.

"I mean he doesn't think I'll show up he thinks I want something with your business other then friends with you" The boys understood what Gracie was trying to say.

John looked sadly at the Swedish girl it was clear the Shelby's were her only friends "Tommy doesn't trust a lot of people flower" Gracie smiled at her nickname John had given her.

"Oi like the ones on your dress ye" Finn pointed out.

"Flower I like it" Arthur smirked "you'll be our little Flower" the two boys knew Gracie May hasn't left this much love in months.

"Thank you" she smiled "I better go it's getting late and I've to open the shop early tomorrow" Gracie May stood up and kissed Arthur, Finn and John on the cheek.

John and Arthur smirked together as they felt Gracies soft lips on their rough cheeks "goodnight" she said before leaving.

"Flower will be the death of us" Arthur nodded in agreement with his younger brother John

"I'm never washing this cheek again" Finn blushed "you fucking flirt" John shouted as he lifted his little brother up as the all left the Garrison.
