Estella sat there looking around the colossal Ballroom seeing people dancing and enjoying themselves, oh how she wanted to dance with someone and not be here because of a war that Thomas is slowly setting against Billy Kimber that idiot...
"your own protection I failing Mr.Kimber, your boys are taking cuts," said Thomas as he breathed out looking straight into Kimber's eyes, no fear was seen... and never will
as he kept speaking Billy Kimber looked at him with a death stare while listening to his words
"i want to suggest from now on, you contract out your race track security to the Peaky Blinders," he said as he took a cigarette and stuck it in between his lips
"we'd be saving you a lot of money, Mr.Kimber....lot of money"
"in return you give us-" but he cut himself off as he lit his cigarette with match and spoke again "5 percent of the intake and three legal betting pitches, at every meeting north of the River server...raising at six, after one year if we're all satisfied with the service" he demanded
"what do you say, Mr.Kimber," said Thomas looking straight, as Estella sat there hoping it would work and he would accept the offer
"i say you talk business with my Accountant, I want a dance...would you like to dance?" said Billy Kimber as he stood up and stopped beside Estella holding a hand out
Estella knew if she danced. it would fuck off Thomas, which would satisfy her anger towards him ...but on the other hand, she really did not want to feel his hands on her body so she shook her head with a smile and said
"I'm deeply sorry Mr.Kimber I am part of the business I will have to talk with your Accountant just as much as Thomas does," she said making Billy's smile disappear in seconds, his body went straight but soon he held a smug smirk in his face, a shiver ran down Estella's spine as he looked at her like she was a piece of meat
"i think Thomas Shelby will be able to survive while making this deal without you," he said, Estella glanced at Thomas who sat there watching as she placed her hand in his getting up and being dragged away from the table
she felt uncomfortable in his presence and hated nothing more than to dance with him
she was hoping Kimber would slip right there and then break a leg or something helping her get out of this dance
only a few feet away two hands gripped her waist pulling her out of Billy's grasp, a breath left her mouth as she hit the body behind her and a comfortable smell touched her nose
Thomas
"I'm sorry Mr.Kimber but Estella... just like you have one...is my accountant I need her for the business deal, but Grace the blond at the bar would surely like to dance with you," he said as he turned Estella around and dragging her away, with one hand on her lower back he guided her through the crowd as she whispered while walking "Thank you"
"no one I allowed to put a hand on your body" he whispered back looking straight trying not to pump into anyone on the way back to their table
"oh and you are allowed to?" she asked quickly and a little shocked, as his hand left her back and he took one hand spinning her around before she softly crashed into his chest, his hands on her hip as he looked down on her saying a sweet "i am the only one allowed to"
after some seconds of silence and staring into each other eyes Thomas sat back as Estella gripped Thomas's shoulder slightly signaling with her eyes she will be standing over there, he nodded as she walked away through the dancing people towards the bar grabbing a champagne glass and drinking it in one swig
"thirsty," asked someone she lowered her glass seeing grace stand there across from her leaning on the bar slightly
"I need some alcohol in my system to survive today's day Grace," she said back making Grace laugh slightly, Estella laughed along but stopped when she saw Billy Kimber approach the table, she walked over and stood next to Thomas as the man spoke
"then let me throw a small condition into the mix," he said sitting down
"two hours with them," he said looking at Estella and then Grace, Estella gripped Thomas's shoulder slightly out of fear of what Thomas may say next
"Estella will stay with me, like I said I don't like sharing especially not her," he said as a hand found her hip gracing his fingers over the thin fabric of silk
"especially not her? is she that special" Billy asked laughing slightly, but Thomas was sternly looking at him while leaning forwards
"to me? yes" he said as he got up
"one of them, grace for two hours only," said Thomas getting up and walking away dragging Estella with him to what she hissed in his ear slightly
"Are you completely out of your mind, you know he is a complete pervert," she said making Thomas stop and turn toward her
"you won't go with him Stella," he said using her nickname, she loved when it left his mouth the softness in his voice but right now she was angry
"I don't care if I would go but Grace has nothing to do with all of this you asshole, you will leave a woman in his hands alone for two hours if she doesn't get raped then she will get beat Thomas Shelby" she hissed as she walked away towards Grace leaving Thomas in the middle of the dancefloor
people twirling around the floor smiling and laughing as he stood in the middle hating himself for making her angry
extremely angry
