Thomas Shelby imagines-a new chapter

91.Comfort

Sometimes it's not just about boyfriends and girlfriends,it's about having just that one person in life who can give you all the comfort you need

That one person who feels like a cool breeze on a summer day

That one person who feels like a warm hug

That one person for him was her

She was happiest girl in town,in between all the chaos she found happiness in the smallest things.It used to surprise him a lot how she could make all his problems disappear in a blink of an eye

Her smile was more than enough a reason for him to keep going.He fell for someone who was so very different from him yet used to make him feel one

She used to gather his scattered remains of his heart and she stitched them all to one.And he gifted that to her

Her own creation

"Tommy I want to see your horses"she poked his shoulder.Tommy was busy reading a piece of paper with a cigarette in his hand eyes glued to it

"Tommy you swore"she groaned tapping her boot on the ground in impatience.He was so busy he couldn't even pay attention to her tapping

She squinted her eyes in annoyance and walked to his table grabbing his piece of paper away from his eyes and he stared at where it was for a good two seconds before he looked up

"Please Tommy I want to see them"she pleased

"Alright"he sighed tiredly,rubbing his hands on his face and she smiled brightly and gave him back his paper and grabbed his hand dragging him out of his office

She decided she also wanted to drive his car to which he agreed because he was busy reading through that paper.She hummed a low tune while she tapped her nail on the steering and drove all the way to his country house outside Birmingham and the whole ride he was just reading through it calculating things in his mind

She immediately pulls the breaks on the car and as a reflex he puts his boot on the front to stop himself from flying and raises his eyes up from the paper

"What are you doing?"he asks somewhat calmly which was very surprising

"God you never break!Tommy put the paper down or I'm leaving you here"she grabs his paper and throws it in the backseat.Tommy sighs in defeat

"Alright alright!I won't work drive now"he says looking out the window putting his hand on his chin elbow resting on the door

She smiles in victory and stars the car again.He could feel her smiling so he moves his head to her side a little to see her eyes gleaming with victory and excitement making him smile a little himself

She closed the car door and the two walk out to his house.She smiled looking at the building

"Beautiful house"she mumbled to herself and Tommy smirked his usual way and held her hand with his gloved hand.She looks up at him into his eyes

And he looks down into hers.The two stood there admiring each other's features.

"Come on"he says and the two walk to the back of his house.Tommy opened the doors to the stable and switched on a light

He stood there by the door looking at her as she stepped in.She smiled brightly adoring the two beautiful creatures in front of her

She walks up to one and brushed his hoof making him neigh in excitement to see an old visitor.Tommy sat on the stack of straws and hay and stared at the sight in front of him

Not even once did he think about having a cigarette,he didn't need one to escape his thoughts.She was more than enough

He watched as she fed his horses a little and rubbed there noses.His eyes changed colour,pupils dilating,his soft pale white skin getting warmer,heart beating faster

Y/n looked into his eyes feeling her cheeks get redder.She blushed and looked away from him making him smile

There's an old folk story of the Birmigham town

"Oh the cold cold man...had his cold cold heart

To a warm smiling maiden,sculpted with patience like a piece of art"
