Thomas Shelby imagines-a new chapter

81.Storm itself

(Play song)

It seems to hurt like a knife,when you love someone whose already taken.And when you are already with someone whom you think you love

Tommy and y/n had almost the same story.
He was a married man,Had a beautiful wife named Grace,she had beautiful blonde hair with a fair skin and high cheekbones.

Y/n was married to John,Tommy's younger brother.He had first met her the time when John brought her home to introduce her to the family as her friend at the time

Tommy knew he'd fallen for her for the first time he saw her,the first thoughts that came in his mind were

"I'm fucked"

For he knew he couldn't have her because she belonged to her brother.

And now after years,when Tommy had achieved everything he could ever have,for his family,for his business and for himself

But just not her

And at the last day of business,he invited the family in the woods,a large table set up for all the members who were sitting there

Tommy hadn't arrived there yet,and neither had y/n,but grace and John were already there since they came early.

Y/n asked her car driver to stop the car in the woods.She thanked the driver and opened the car door,she could hear the sounds of people talking right at the table.

She picked up the hem of her dress a little as her heel placed down at the mud ground.A hat covering her face.

Y/n heard a car engine from behind her.When she turned around she saw a black Rolls Royce being parked behind her.

From the drivers seat,she could see a tall figure come out,with a hat on his head.Her heart skipped a beat,stomach starting to tingle with butterflies

She caught ahold of those blue orbs,they stared directly at her and it made chills run up her body.She removed her hat and shades and looked at him

Tommy closed the car door but kept his eyes on her,he hated this feeling of not having her even when he wanted her so much.

"Y/n!"someone called to her.She turned her head,her soft brown curls turning with her.John was standing there calling out to her

Tommy felt like it was a punch in his gut.He looked away at the family and saw Grace approaching him

"Hi honey"she smiled and pecked his lips.Tommy closed his eyes but his mind was still occupied by her

John kissed her while she chuckled and held his arm.The four walked together at the table,y/n looked at Tommy for a second behind John and she noticed his stare on her again

"Alright everyone thank you for coming!"tommy replied standing in front of his chair.They made y/n sit at the other end of the table right in front of Tommy

"I thank my brothers for coming here today,Aunt Polly,Grace,Ada,Johnny dogs,Charlie....and y/n"he said taking a pause before speaking her name.No one noticed it except the two of them

Y/n looked into Tommy's eyes who were staring right at her.She looked down at her glass and the brown liquid in it

Tommy raised his glass in the air

"To family....sometimes their shelter from the storm....sometimes they're the storm themselves"

She raised her eyes from the glass to him.Tommy looked at her eyes before he said cheers.She knew it was for her

She was the storm that would one day snatch his life from its roots.She would be the end of Thomas Shelby

Raising her own glass to his words,she didn't remove her eyes from him while she said cheers to his toast along with others

It had never hurt more to the two of them to believe that there was nothing they could do.Nodding his head Tommy put down his glass and sat back down on his chair

The family started conversations with each other.Y/n was busy with Polly.She was sitting right beside her smoking a cigar

"Is what I see true?"she asked with a smirk forming on her face.Y/n took in a deep breath through her nose

"No polly it's not"she lied.But Polly knew her eyes weren't lying to herself.So she quietly watched the two

Y/n would sometimes look at Tommy seeing him talking to Arthur,grace smiling right beside him.Sometimes he would look at her,seeing how she was talking to Ada.

This went on for the whole lunch until the sun set in the woods.Y/n was sitting beside the fire,covering herself with her shawl,a strand of hair falling on the side of her beautiful face

Y/n was quietly focusing on the crackling sound of wood burning in fire when she suddenly felt someone's presence,sit beside her.

She turned her head at the direction and saw his side face,he was staring quietly at the fire.Y/n was scared that he could hear how fast her heart is beating in her chest

She looked back down at the fire.

"Is this what it's going to be like from now tommy?"she asked softly.Tommy still didn't look at her while he nodded his head up and down

"You know why I called the meeting in these woods?Hm?"he asked.Y/n felt her lips curl into a smile because she knew for he had told her about these woods before

"Hmm because there's a lake behind this forest.....and at night it glows by the moonlight.And years ago in 1920.....we came here"his eyes finally diverted from the fire towards her.

The cold man's heart melted like iron in fire.How her skin glowed by the light,how her eyes gleamed,how her lips stretched into a smile at his words

His blue eyes examined her face with beauty.The Thomas Shelby who once never believed in love for he thought it would weaken him

Was now in love for a woman who wasn't his

Who could never be his

Separating from the crowd,they walked towards the lake.It glistened in blue from the moon,it was so enchanting that Tommy couldn't explain his feelings

For once he was speechless

Y/n quietly stared at the scenery holding the shawl closer to her.Tommy stood beside her with his hands in his pockets quietly watching the view

Maybe they didn't need to hold hands

Maybe they didn't have to kiss

Maybe things could be like this

As long as she was there in his life

He was agreeing to suffer for it

Because love makes you blind

It makes you crave for sunshine in a dark life
