Love from Gangsters

Chapter 22

I woke up and I rolled over. I saw Arthur smiling at me.

 "Good morning," I said playing with his hair. 

"Good morning Y/n," he said in a raspy voice. 

Arthur made me feel good mentally. He took my mind off of Thomas, I got out of bed and headed to the bathroom. I walked out and saw my cases at the door. I grabbed them and headed back to the bathroom. 

"Oi-Y/n, what are you doing in there, come back." Arthur said reaching his hand out to me.

"I'm getting ready Arthur, you should too," I said giggling. 

"Oi-bloody hell, fine," he said, getting up walking over to me. He wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my neck. 

"It's you Arthur, it's always been you," I said pulling his chin up, looking at him in the mirror. 

"For real?" he said looking back at me.

"Yes, Arthur, I want you and only you." I said, smiling at him.

"Bloody hell Y/n are you serious," he said, yelling with excitement. 

"Yes, Arthur," I said laughing at him. 

He ran downstairs, he acted like a kid who just scored a goal. I couldn't help but keep laughing waiting for him to settle down. I heard him coming back up the stairs, he grabbed my face and kissed me. It was so passionate, I wrapped my arms around his neck while he wrapped his around my waist. I pulled away after a few seconds. 

"I need to finish getting ready, we will continue this later tonight." I said blushing. 

"After Johns wedding?" he asked, I was confused.

"Johns getting married tonight? How exciting," I said. I was happy for John, he deserved it. I was jealous as well, it was my dream to get married and maybe it could happen with Arthur. 

"I know, Ol-John is getting married." He said. Arthur walked out the bathroom got dressed. I finished up in the bathroom and saw he was waiting for me. 

"Okay, I'm finally done" I said, giving him a smile.

We walked downstairs and Pol was waiting in the kitchen. 

"Y/n, what a surprise," she said, giving me a hug. 

"I'm glad to be back, where's Ada," I asked. 

"She's out of town for a while," she said sipping her tea. 

"Oi-Pol where is everyone else?" Arthur asked grabbing a cigarette. 

"John and Thomas are getting ready and Michael is taking care of something," she said. 

"When is the wedding?" I asked. 

"In a few hours, Thomas had to meet with the people setting up." she said, standing up. "Now I have to go do some stuff, don't be late." she said, walking out. 

"Arthur can you take me home so I can get a nice dress?" I asked him.

He nodded and we headed out the door. We talked the whole walk and we finally approached my house. I took my key out and unlocked the door. I headed upstairs while Arthur stayed downstairs. I opened my bedroom door and went straight to my wardrobe. I picked a long red dress with black heels. I picked a golden pair of earrings and sat them on my vanity. I walked back over to my dress and took my other clothes off, I picked up the dress and started crying. I missed my mom, she would never see me get married. 

I finally calmed down and put the dress on, then I fixed my makeup and put my earrings on. I walked downstairs with my heels in my hand. I could feel Arthurs stare, he licked his lips and stood up. 

"Y/n, you look beautiful," he said reaching for my hand.

"Thank you Arthur," I said taking his hand. 

"I have to also get ready," he said grabbing his hat and coat. 

"I'm sorry I took so long, I was just thinking of my mom," I said, sending him a soft smile. 

"No, it's fine. I will never rush you Y/n." he said, sending me a soft smile. 

I put my heels on and shut off the lights. We walked out the house and I locked the door behind me. We headed back to Arthurs, we talked the whole way there hand in hand. He would stop to check me out once in a while and spin me around. We finally arrived and I could hear chatter before we walked in. Arthur opened the door and I grabbed his arm, I followed him in and we walked towards the noise. Everyone stopped talking and I could see everyones eyes on me.

"That is a gorgeous dress Y/n and a more-" Michael was saying before Arthur cut him off. 

"Oi-watch it, I'm going to change I'll be back Y/n" he said, giving Michael a glare and then kissing my hand. 

"Boys, so jealous," I said laughing. 

I sat next to Pol and Michael sat next to me. Thomas was in his office but I could feel his cold stare. I talked to the two of them for a bit and then Arthur came back down. He looked so handsome I couldn't contain my stare. He smiled at me and grabbed my hand. Everyone stood up and headed for the door. Thomas finally came out his office and I didn't even look at him. 

"Y/n, a word." he said to me. I knew he wasn't asking, but I didn't even give him the time of day. 

"No," I said leaving with Arthur. 

We all walked over to the ceremony because it was a short walk. It was small, but beautiful. I was still in shock that Ada wasn't there, she was missing her brothers wedding. When I was talking to Polly and Michael they both said it was urgent and Ada had to go. I didn't understand, I knew they wouldn't tell me the full story so I stopped asking. 

We arrived and I saw John, I shot him a smile and waved. He walked over to me and gave me a hug. 

"Y/n, I am so sorry about your mom," he said, giving me a sincere look. 

"It's okay John, lets not focus on me. This is your day," I said, putting my hand on his cheek. 

He gave me another hug and then walked over to everyone else. They were all laughing togehter and I just watched. Thomas wasn't laughing though, he was just staring at me. The ceremony was finally about to begin and we finally sat down.
