Dance

1 year Later

I was wearing my weeding dress. Thomas and I decided to wait for a bit. He wanted to make the betting shop legal and wanted to fix everything before we get married.
So we waited. The year past by and everything went wonderful. We bought a house in the land with a field and a small lake.
Now, I was standing in front of the mirror, waiting to go the altar.

The door opened and I saw Polly and Ada walking in. "Oh look Ada. It's like how I imagined. You look lovely Dahlia. Thomas is so lucky to have such a beautiful wife."
"Thank you Polly. You two look beautiful."
Polly squeezed my hands and gave me an encouraging smile.

After I while I could hear a knock on the door. "Hello Ladies, I think it's time to go. " It was Arthur who was walking through the door.
I decided to ask him if he wanted to walk me to the altar. He became like older brother to me.
He accepted it luckily. He gave me his arm and we walked out of the door.
"Ya know, I needed to stop Tommy to see ya. He went crazy, but don tell him."
"I won't" I giggled.
No we stood there in front of the massive door. We waited for a few minutes.
"Im so nervous."
He patted my hand. "don be"
The door opened.

The music played. the eyes were on me. I saw to Thomas. He looked beautiful. He looked at me and I could see a smirk forming on his face. when we finally arrived, I stood in front of the most beautiful eyes that I ever laid eye on.
"You look perfect" he whispered.
"Thank you. I can give that back." I gave him a nervous smile.
"You are nervous." He putted my put fallen hair behind ear and stroked my check,
"No, I'm not." I chewed on my lips.
"Yes you are. You always chew on your lips when ya are nervous, love"
"You realized that"
"Sure. I am your husband." He smirked.
"Don't be nervous." He took my hand.

I could fell how I forget about everything. when the priest asked me, I came back to reality.
"Do you Dahlia Westwood take Thomas Shelby as Your Husband?"
"Yes, I will."
"do you Thomas Shelby take Dahlia Westwood as your Wife? "
"Yes, I will."
He talked a bit, but Thomas had my full attention.
"You may kiss now" the priest finished his speech.
Without hesitation Thomas pulled me towards him. He gave me a kiss and flustered: "you are mine now, miss Shelby"
"I was always yours, mister Shelby."

"May I have this dance with you?" Thomas asked me. " I can't refuse" I said smiling. The music played only for us.
"I am surprised that nothing happened yet" I stated out, teasing him a little.
"What are you saying? I always have everything under control"
"Okay, why didn't I see one of your brothers, huh?"
"They probably outside or they are drinking somewhere in the corner."
I looked him deep in the eyes.
"You won't let go, huh?"
"Nope."
"I will look after them after this dance, promise."
I nooded.

"I love you Thomas" I whispered
"I love you too, love" Thomas leaned his forehead against mine.
When suddenly Charlie came up to us.
Thomas let go of me and turned to Charlie. He whispered something into his ear. I couldn't hear it, but I could see that something bad happened.

"I'm sorry, love. I need to go. Wait here. I will be right back."
"But-t...Okay be safe. Don't do anything stupid, Thomas."
"You know me to well" he kissed me and squeezed my hand before he went away
I didn't know why but I had a bad feeling.
