Love from Gangsters

Chapter 20

Y/n's POV

Thomas walked out after what seemed like forever. I was talking to a few old friends when I could hear his footsteps. I looked at him and waved him over.

"Guys, this is Thomas Shelby," I said smiling at him. "Thomas, this is Amelia and James Hatt," I said looking back at the twins.

"Y/n, said she lived with your sister?" Amelia said.

"She still lives with her, Y/n and I are going back tomorrow." Thomas said.

"Back to Small Heath huh Y/n?" James scoffed.

"Is that funny?" Thomas asked in a cold tone.

"Not at all Thomas Shelby, I just thought Y/n and I would be able to catch up like old times," James said with a smug look on his face.

Thomas stared at James, if looks could kill James would've been dead the moment Thomas walked over. "Y/n isn't interested in you James," Amelia said.

"Y/n isn't interested in anyone Amelia." James said not breaking eye contact with Thomas.

"Okay, I should show Thomas the garden now," I said touching Thomas's arm.

I looked at Thomas and he was not budging. "Thomas," I said. He still didn't break his stare. "Thomas, lets go." I said grabbing his arm. He looked at me and then nodded.

"It was fun meeting you Thomas Shelby," James said with a smirk on his face.

"It's Mr. Shelby." Thomas said not looking back at James.

"I'm sorry about James, I have no idea why he acted like that."

"I have an idea of why," He said looking at me.

"And what is that?" I asked looking back at him.

"He wants to fuck you," He said stopping.

"I've known James my whole life, no he does not," I said, giving him a nasty look.

"I think he got a sense that we fucked and he's jealous," he said pulling me towards him.

I look at him with the same look on my face and he laughs. I walk away from him and head towards the house.

"Done with the tour eh?" He says pulling out a cigaretter walking towards me. "Your father said you would show me the guest bedroom." He said, catching up to me.

"You know what Thomas, you acted jealous back there as well." I said, not looking at him. I crossed my arms waiting for him to respond.

"I was, because you're mine," he said.

"No Thomas, you're mine." I said.

"We will see about that." He said, opening the door for me.

We didn't say anything after that. I showed him the guest bedroom and told him I was getting ready for bed. As I walked back to my room I couldn't get what he said out of my head. He told me we will see about that, was that some type of threat? I've never had a man test me like he did, normally they fell to my feet trying to impress me.

I knew I needed to relax and I started myself a bath. I took my dress off and undid my hair. When the tub was full I stepped into it. I could feel my skin burning, but I needed this. I heard a knock on my door. I got out of the tub and put my robe on.

I heard the knock again "I'm coming," I said tying my robe walking towards the door. I opened it and there stood Thomas Shelby.

"What?" I asked, while he looked me up and down.

"Can I come in?" He asked still analyzing me.

"Yeah, follow me." I said, walking towards the bathroom again. I undid my robe and it fell onto the floor. I could feel Thomas's stare. I looked over my shoulder and watched as he looked me up and down again. I reached the tub and stepped in again, not even giving him any attention. He leaned against the door frame.

"What did you need Thomas Shelby," his named rolled right off my tounge like I've said it a million times.

"We're leaving at 8, I have some business to take care of." He said, looking annoyed that I used his full name.

"Okay? Then I'll see you tomorrow," I said shooing him away.

"Tonight," He said reaching into his pocket.

"That's in like 10 minutes," I said looking at the clock.

He walked towards me grabbing my arms. He pulled me out of the tub and whispered in my ear. "Better get dressed," he said, sending shivers down my spine. I wanted him, I wanted him now again.

"Ok," I said, holding my breath.

He walked away and I heard the door shut. I sighed, I didn't know what it felt like to be controlled. He knew he had me under his spell and I was making it obvious. I emptied the tub and got dressed. I packed everything back into my cases. Some of my stuff was still packed because I wasn't home for long. My house didn't feel like home without my mom, Small Heath did. I grabbed my cases and headed downstairs, my father was waiting for me. We said our goodbyes and he walked me outside. Thomas was standing next to his car with a cigarette in his mouth. My father grabbed my bags and put them in the car, Thomas came over to my side and opened the car door. I looked at my father shedding a tear and got in. I heard Thomas and my father talking, they shook hands and Thomas got in the car.
