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

Tommy watched as his beautiful wife served drinks to her adoring customers. He couldn't blame them, she was the most beautiful and sweetest woman in all of London. She always had a smile on her face, very little ever upset her. Not even the work of the Peaky Blinders. She was a beautiful woman with a heart of gold, and everyone could see that. There was no surprise that the nights she was bartending the Garrison was full of men who came just to see her smile.

For once, Tommy didn't feel jealous of the way those men looked at her. At one point, he would've killed any man that even looked at his woman the way these men looked at her, but (Y/N) was different. She was true, loyal. She had love in her heart for one man, and he was lucky enough to be that man.

As if feeling his eyes on her, (Y/N) glanced at him across the pub. He smiled brightly and raised his glass to her. She smiled back and winked at him before getting back to work.

"Some woman you got there, Tommy," commented a man as he sat across from Tommy. He was a regular at the bar recently, his name was Henry or something. Always managed to get (Y/N) laughing.

Okay, maybe Tommy was a little jealous.

"She's one of a kind," Tommy agreed, not even trying to hold back the glare he was giving Henry.

"I heard she was down helping the homeless Veterans or something today," he continued. "Heart of gold, that one."

Tommy just nodded, glaring over his glass as he took a swig. What did this slimy fucker want?

"Wonder what she sees in you, ay?" Henry questioned. "She's the polar opposite of you and your family, after all. She actually has a heart, a good one too. She cares so much about everybody. What does a good woman like her see in an evil git like you?"

Tommy jumped up before he could stop himself and grabbed Henry's collar, his fist raised to hit the man. Before he could swing, (Y/N) raced over to the two men and grabbed her husband's raised fist.

"Okay you two, that's enough!" she exclaimed. "Honey, let Henry go."

Tommy was shaking in anger, but he couldn't beat this shit out of this waste of space in front of his loving wife. Not when she was looking at him with those beautiful, innocent eyes that he loved so much.

He shoved Henry away, nearly knocking the man over. "Fuck off."

Henry looked between Tommy and (Y/N), who was also giving him a disapproving look. He huffed at Tommy, fixing his collar before leaving. (Y/N) turned to Tommy, putting a hand on his arm. "Are you okay, love?"

"Fine," Tommy responded coolly, shrugging her hand off of him. "I'll see you at home."

(Y/N) watched as her husband stomped out of the bar, confused and hurt by his tone. But she didn't have time to go after him, she was the only barmaid currently working and she had plenty of customers waiting to be served. She sighed, putting back on her signature smile and continued on with work.
