Thomas Shelby imagines-a new chapter

54.Eyes dont lie

In the busy streets of Birmingham town,the peaky scums were at it again.They were in search of a certain man undercover between the Birmingham people working for the crown

Tommy scattered everyone around the town to look for him.He was standing beside a painting shop.Not bothered if the people inside were seeing him,he leaned against the brick wall beside the window and smoked a cigarette with his eyes hidden under his hat

"Oh y/n darling what do you have for me today?"a woman chuckled beside him.Tommy least bothered to see who it was still managed to have his head tilt to the side

Seeing a woman with slightly curled brown hair,she had her back faced to him,a painting on a stand in her hand.She slightly turned her head and he was mesmerised

Feeling his heart skip a beat he closely examined her looks.He could see her white dazzling smile,her brown hair a shade of golden in the sun hidden behind the clouds

Her eyes had a brown colour,they were deep,they held a story.

"I suggest you ladies to get back inside before it's too late.Isn't that right Mrs Berber?"he said referring to the lady beside y/n

"Oh Mr Shelby my apologies I didn't see you there"she said and quickly paid y/n and took the painting.Y/n handed the money to a boy working in her shop

She looked at Tommy with curiosity but a slight smile still on her face

She walked towards him and stood in front of him.Tapping his shoulder he titled his head to her

Looking into her amber eyes he blew out smoke from his mouth

"You're new here?"

She nodded with a smile and pointed at the shop,she symbolises her words through her hands and says that she owns the shop

"You're.....deaf?

She nodded and pointed at her ear and clicked her tongue saying she didn't have the ability to hear

"You can speak?"

She did a sign saying she wasn't that good at it

"How can you hear what I'm saying?"tommy flicked his cigarette away,curiosity taking the better of him

She slightly brought her hand to his lips barely touching them and used sign language

Your lips can help me hear what's in your mind

But sometimes I can see people lie through their lips

She smiled and pointed at his icy eyes.He watched her with much interest And surprisingly could understand everything

But your eyes

They always tell the truth

Feeling his face soften at her words,he stood there straight,his heart beating inside his chest for the first time in forever

"What's your name?"he said,his voice changed from cold to his original voice

She smiled brightly and took out a paper from her pocket asking for a pen from him with sign language.He took one out from his pocket without removing eyes contact

She took it and wrote her name on it handing him the piece of paper

He read her name

Y/n

"Y/n come inside now we need you!"the young boy she handed the money too said from the window

Y/n nodded at him  and looked back at Tommy

Nice meeting you

She symbolised from sign language and walked past him,he could smell her fragrance reach up his nose.

He was suddenly snapped out of his trance by Arthur

"Tommay he's runnin away!"Tommy looked up and saw the man jump into a car and start it

Tommy too caught up in his trance took his gun out and walked forward.He shot two bullets and the tired blew up.

Tommy's men ran to the car and grabbed hold of the man.Tommy,now standing alone on the street stared at nothing

Looking behind him to the shop,he didn't see anyone inside knowing it was because of the shots.But after staring there for a minute,he saw y/n peep through the window

She nervously yet awkwardly acted like she had a gun in hand and did nice shot at him

Tommy smirking to himself turned back around and walked away with his troop.

Y/n smiled to herself a little and turned around seeing the boy standing behind her

You like him?

Y/n shook her head and walked away quickly

Well....maybe she liked him....and maybe he did too?It surely was in his eyes
