Morning Harry Edith cheered as she tied the creased apron around her waist "Tommy's been waiting for you to give him his drinks" Ediths eyebrows raised scoffing at the idea "well what is he having" she asked pulling a glass out "three pints" Edith stopped in her tracks confused a expression she held often "oh the two other brothers are there with him"
She knocked on the door of the private room the door flung open she placed the drinks down on the table "sorry for keeping you waiting" Edith apologised though the tone of her voice sounded annoyed "fucking hell where did you find this one tommo" chuckled John pulling the toothpick out of his mouth "John this is-" he looked up at her with a unsure face "Edith Densly" she corrected "nice to meet you Edith" he nudged the older brother who sat next to him with a smirk on his face he grabbed her hand shaking it before putting a rushed peck to the top of her hand she quickly removed her hand before turning away
"I want her serving us drinks more often ehh Arthur" he pushed Arthur shrugging "not my type" he huffed "what do you think Tommy"
Thomas pulling a cigarette from his pocket lighting it placing it to his lips clearly uninterested "well that's sorted she's mine then" he joked Thomas's eyes rolled "please John Arthur's got more chance than pulling her than you"
"Thats not true your just mad she's never pick you" he challenged "well then we'll have to see who will get her" making a bet on a girl like they used to do before war
Grace came through the doors late and looking worn out she shoved passed Edith to a used glass and a bottle of whiskey she roughly poured into the glass spilling more onto the bar then in the glass quickly shoving the drink down her throat pulling a face from the sour burn "are you alright Grace?" Edith asked worried "why do you think I'm not fine ?why would you care you've only known me for less than a second ?" She hissed
"I can take your shift if you want" Edith offered "is that another thing you want to take my job to" stomping clearly mad "I just wanted to hel-"
"I don't need or want your help okay you-"
Thomas coughed stopping Grace from finishing whatever she was about to say "I'm sorry Mr Shelby it's my fault" Edith bowed her head shamefully graced placed a evil glare towards her "your a barmaid not a Servant stop acting like one" she nodded quickly "Edith follow me I need your help" graces eyes widened following Ediths every-move
John and Arthur watched pulling Thomas a face seeing him walk away with  the pretty blonde barmaid well the second pretty blonde barmaid...
