Helpless Addiction

The Dealings and The Dance

TW: Assualt

At 1230 Tommy arrives at the Garrison with Polly before Vivian and just waits for her. Tommy would never admit to Polly or Vivian but he was looking forward to dancing with her. He found her hypnotizing and he felt vulnerable. He couldn't stop thinking about her last night. She could tell he was sad yet he didn't drop his act. He almost felt ashamed that he didn't recognize her after she saved him. He didn't even know what his family did when he was away in the war. Tommy got lost in his own head and didn't even hear Polly calling his name.

"Tom!" Polly yelled

Tommy quickly snapped out of it "Yes Pol?"

Polly signs "What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing important." Tommy lied.

"You're thinking about her." Polly said

Tommy signed "What did you guys do to her?"

Polly was quiet for a moment "Something terrible Tom. I don't regret much but taking her family from her is something I will never forgive myself for. Charlie wasn't supposed to shoot them but a vision came up when he recognized her photo on the wall and-."

Before the conversation could go on any further Vivian walked into the pub in a long red floor length dress, with a pearl necklace and earrings, and black red bottom heels. Tommy was clearly staring at her and it even made her smirk slightly.

"Wow um you look great Vivan." Tommy spoke still staring at her.

Vivian smiled "As do you Thomas." Her gaze then shifted to Polly.

"Hello Polly." Vivan said sounding genuine.

Polly smiled at Vivian "Hello Vivian. Take care of him for me." Vivian laughed as Polly left the Garrison.

"Tommy stop staring at me or were going to be late." Vivan smiled and grabbed his hand making him look down at their hands then back up to her.

"Right. We better be off then." He says as he pushes her hair out of her face and links their arms together, her arm holding onto his. They walked ina comfortable silence. Once they reached the tracks Tommy had to leave to go meet with his family to run the plan by them one more time. Once he returns to Vivian they head to the ballroom and stand at the top of the double sided stairs.

"Do you dance?" Tommy asks

Vivian looks at him "Only when i'm asked."

Tommy smiles "Well Vivian, would you like to dance with me?" He puts his hand out for her to grab and she does. They dance for awhile when they both spot Kimber at a table in the back.

"He's with his accountant. We need to go to that door and get the money my brothers got back from the Lee family." Tommy said as they danced toward the door. As Tommy grabbed the money the two of them went over to Kimbers table. Once they got there Tommy dropped the money one the table.

"All your money taken from the Lees. Now can we talk business." Tommy demands

Kimber smirks at Vivan "Do your business with my accountant. I want to dance."

Kimber grabs Vivian and she rolls her eyes and starts to dance with him anyway. Throughout the next several minutes Kimber just hit on her and from a distance Tommy was clearly angry at what was happening. Kimber and Vivan then walk over to the table once again.

"How's business?" Kimber asks

His accountant looks up "Mr. Shelby has made some nice offers."

Kimber look Vivian up and down and says "Well i'm board and I want to leave."
