Natasha was walking down the market with her best friend when a jewelry clerk calls her over, she walks over to her confused
"Are you Natasha Wilson?"
"Yes that's me."
"Someone bought you this necklace, he told me to tell you that you have an admirer, and girl he's handsome." The elderly woman says and gives her a beautiful necklace with a dove
"It's gorgeous."
"Looks like you have a secret admirer." Her friend says and helps her put it on, when they decide to head home it was about 5 p.m, her and her friend split up to go home and when she arrived at her door there were her favorite flowers on the ground, she picked them up and looked around confused, she walked into her apartment, and jumped in the shower, she washed off and washed her hair, once she was done she turned off the shower and dried off, she out on her silk night gown and walked out, she got in bed and went to sleep, when she woke up her friend Vanessa was in her house, it's normal for them to come into each other's apartments unannounced, they both have keys to each other's apartments
"Natasha get up, were going shopping so we can go to the Garrison tonight."
"We went shopping yesterday."
"No we went looking around the market, and that admirer got you that necklace, who knows, maybe he will be there tonight."
"Fine, but I won't stay there long, you know how I hate these kinds of things." She replies and gets out of bed and gets dressed, they walk out the apartment and into a dress shop, the clerk walks over to them
"Are you miss. Wilson?" The woman asks
"Yes?"
"Good, follow me, someone bought you a dress, told me not to tell you who it was." The woman says and gives her a wine red dress
"It's beautiful." She says and tries it on, it fits perfectly
"You should wear it tonight." Vanessa says
"I think I will, now, your turn." She says and changes out of the dress and they look for a dress for Vanessa, she chooses a beautiful black dress, the clerk gives her a pair of heels the admirer bought as well
"Girl if you don't marry that man I just might." She says and they leave, they giggle and smile the whole way to Natasha's apartment, goofing around, they stop to get lunch, by the time they get back it's five p.m, they get ready and do each other's makeup and hair, they out on their dresses, Natasha outs on the one that the admirer bought her and they head to the Garrison, Natasha looks gorgeous in the dress, Vanessa looks gorgeous in hers too, they walk into the pub giggling and head to the bar and order drinks, Vanessa is dragged off by a man she has been seeing to "chat" Natasha giggles and hears someone speak behind her
"I knew you would look good in that dress, but I didn't know you would look that good." She smiles and turns to face her secret admirer, her face turns to shock as she sees who it is, it's Thomas Shelby
"Thank you." She stutters out, she blushes and looks down at her lap
"This place is a bit loud, would you like to come with me?" She nods her head and he takes her hand and leads her to the back room, he sits down in a chair and she stands there messing with her fingers, he motions for her to sit down and she does, she sits down on the chair beside him
"You look ravishing." He says
"Thank you Mr. Shelby, I didn't think it would be you who was doing all this for me, I really appreciate it, but I don't want you spending your money on me." She says and looks him in the eyes
"I don't mind it when you look like this." He says and plays with the strap on her dress, he leans forward and captures her lips in a kiss, she immediately kisses back and puts her hand on his cheek, he rests his hand on her hip and they part for air, Natasha opens her eyes and looks into his electric blue ones
"Thank you Mr. Shelby for giving me all of this."
"Tommy."
"What?"
"Call me tommy." He says and moves a strand of hair that fell onto her face and tucks it behind her ear
"Thank you tommy, but I don't think you need to be spending all this money on me, I mean this dress thin necklace, I love it I really do, but I think it's a bit expensive."
"It wasn't, and even if it was I don't care, I would give you everything." He says and leans his forehead against hers, she smiles and he kisses her again
"I've had my eye on you for quite some time."
"Why me?"
"I came across you in the market a few months ago, you were helping a little boy and scolding a few other ones for being mean, I've seen men fall at your feet and you not care, I see fire in your eyes, and I know that your meant to be with me." She smiles and he kisses her again, they spend the night talking and laughing, Natasha's face was hurting by how much she was smiling, soon she fell asleep on his shoulder, he smiled and put his cheek on her head and fell asleep holding her hand, even though they slept on a couch it was the best nights sleep he's had ina while, no nightmares, no faces of the dead, when he woke up in the morning they shifted in their sleep, he was laying on his back with her on top of him, she looked like an angel while she slept, he sat up and she groaned
"No, just five more minutes." She says and cuddles back into his side
"Natasha love, wake up." He says, she slowly opens her green eyes and looks around the room before setting her eyes on his, she smiles at him and stretches
"Sorry for falling asleep on you." She says
"I'm not complaining, let me walk you home." He says, she gathers her belongings and he walks her back home
"Would you like to come inside?" She asks, he smirks and follows her into her apartment for even more fun
