A Royal Duty ~ Tommy Shelby~

More than friends??

Hi everyone, sorry I have been away so much, but I'm gonna try and get writing more soon.

---------------------------------------

As I was getting ready with some spare clothes, polly let me borrow them as mine were 'too sophisticated,' she said. She wondered why I was getting dressed up, and I told her I was meeting Tommy for a drink and then some dancing. She looked surprised and I asked why.

"It's just that Tommy never takes a girl dancing l, he said he'd only do it if she was the one. And I guess you are love, " she explained while doing my hair

"But I've only been here a mere 24 hours, and he already wants me?" I questioned as she finishes (you can have any hairstyle or if you have short hair you do want you want)

" Love can make you do crazy things, sweetheart, if handled correctly," she said with such love in her voice. She genuinely cares for me, unlike my so-called family. She continued by saying, "So what if Thomas is the purpose you have been trying to find? Will you stay or go back?"

"To be honest, Polly, I'm not sure. If I go back, I hope Tommy comes with me, but I know it's not the life he wants to live, " I expressed

"Well, let's hope you don't leave us," she hopes as she urges me up from my seat to leave. " Look at the time, hurry go go," she practically pushes me out the door as I giggle. She asks me if I know the way. I didn't, so Ada escorted me.

------------------
Ada had a drink and then left. She sent me a wink before she left as I tried to hold in a laugh.

"So we will have a drink, then I will take you to a club nearby where we can go dancing then ill take you home before dark so Polly doesn't have my head" Tommy chuckled as he explains what he has planned.

"That sounds like a good plan, Tommy," I said." To be honest, this is my first date. No guy has ever taken me dancing before," I admit, a little embarrassed, but Tommy looks like he has just seen a ghost.

"A beautiful lady like you has never been dancing?" He says astounded as he continues." Honestly, some men are stupid, " he admits as I continue to giggle at his antics

" Well, I have turned guys before because they only wanted me to get close to my family," I admit, not entirely a lie. "My family is powerful, and people only wanted special privileges. It makes it hard for me to trust a guy." I pour my heart out to someone whom I have liked since we met.

"Can you trust me?" Tommy questions, but he continues, confessing." I really like you y/n, and I'm not saying that to get to your family. I want to get to know you, I want to be in your life, I want you, " he exclaims. Wow, do I really have this effect on him?

"I'll break your heart Tommy, or you won't like my past" I'm scared for him to like me because if I had to leave, it would break him and I don't want to do that.

"That's a risk I'm willing to take. If you leave, I go with you,"

"Tommy, you can't leave. You have business here,"

"I don't care, I'm in for the long haul," he states before asking the big question. "Be mine y/n , be mine, and I will love you for eternity," he asks

Should I say yes?? I mean, my father won't care. He never has and never will. I answer

"Yes, Tommy, I'll be yours." I answer with love in my voice.

Tommy has the biggest smile ever as he leans in, and our lips meet. It's full of passion and fire. I hold his face in my hands, hoping to god this is real.

We pull away and stare in each others eyes for what seems like forever. We chuckle as I let go of his face.

"Well, beautiful, we should get going. We have a dance to get to. " he holds his arm out as I hold onto it. Such a gentleman.

As we walk, put the doors, I see Polly coming to our direction with worry in her eyes.

" y/n, can I steal you away for I minute, it can't wait?" she urges me to follow her home. I look to Tommy with disappointment in both of our eyes.

" It's alright y/n go, but you owe me a dance," he smirks as he lets me go with he crazy aunt.

-----------------

So here we are, back at the house. Sat in the kitchen all three of us. Me, Ada, and Polly.
I start to wonder what this is all about.

" Elizabeth rang," Polly simply says as I start to worry. " He knows you're gone. He put a target on your head for your safe return home," she staes before Ada went to comfort me.

He knows? But I don't wanna leave.
