*************************************

Summer storms she could cope with, but the thunder and lightning during the night was something she couldn't cope with. 

 The next flash of lightning had her pulling the duvet over her head like a child, the clap of thunder had her out of the bed, pulling the door open. 

 Rushing across the lounge, of the rented apartment she was currently sharing with her co-star, her usual apartment had a plumbing issue. 

 Cillian had offered his spare room, it made the most sense as they were either filming together or on opposite filming schedules, meaning they could also have some time to themselves away from their on-screen life. 

 The lightning illuminated the lounge causing her to jump, she knocked once on Cillian's bedroom door then pushed her way in. 

 The thunder rumbled again, "Cillian move over" she muttered pushing his shoulder, he grumbled in his sleep lifting the covers. 

 She crawled under as the storm hit harder against the windows, his arm fell across her middle pulling her into his body. 

 "Scared of storms huh?" he mumbled, shifting himself so her hair was out of his face. 

 "Jus, the thunder and lightning" she whispered as another flash made her body shudder. 

 She felt his grip tighten across her stomach "It's grand, love, I'm here" he was still sleepily mumbling, his fingers were dancing on the soft flesh of her stomach. 

 She usually hated being around anyone in a crop top but the apartment was so warm and with the humid summer air she had opted for a crop top and shorts to sleep in, she felt comfortable around Cillian anyway, he'd seen her in a lot less clothes than this during their time filming. 

 She had been playing Cillian's character Tommy's wife for almost three series of Peaky Blinders now, they both knew each other so well, were both so close, most of the time someone on set would roll their eyes and declare "just be together!". 

They always laughed it off, they were co-stars nothing more. 

 *** 

 The morning brought with it the sun, and more humid air, Cillian's alarm was pulling her from her sleep, but she was so damn comfortable snuggled into Cillian. 

 Their bodies were tangled together, her leg between Cillians, his arms still wrapped round her but now she was facing his chest, his face inches from hers, her arm thrown over his waist.

Cillian's eyes opened, a sleepy smile on his face "oh, morning" he yawned slightly, not moving from her, if anything she could have sworn he pulled her closer. She returned his smile "Morning, sorry I didn't mean to stay in here"

She tried to pull away from his body, he laughed lightly "am I complaining?", Cillian held her in place close to his body, legs trapping hers.

"I just get scared of storms" she whined, dropping her face into his shoulder. 

 "Lucky you're staying here then huh?" he dropped a soft kiss to the top of her head. 

 She looked up at him, her eyes searching his, he inched closer his lips pressing softly on hers. 

 She fell into the kiss, he pulled her even tighter into his body, hands pressed on her back, teeth nipping at her lips, tongues sliding together. S

he was getting into the kiss, their hands roaming over each others bodies, the sound of his alarm repeating itself broke them apart. 

 "We could just be late?" Cillian suggested lips still slightly pressed to hers.

She laughed lightly with a nod, Cillian took a deep breath, quickly swiping the alarm off before he rolled her onto her back.
