THE GARRISON. 9:32pm.
TWO MONTHS LATER...
LINDA LAUGHS AS Arthur pulls her into The Garrison. It was late at night, and the infamous pub was completely empty. Tommy had trusted Arthur to lock up, but, he had different plans.
"I reckon we can fuck in five minutes here. Maybe even three if you get me excited enough." Arthur was pulling his wife closer to him, a mischievous smirk on his lips.
"Absolutely not." She yanks her hand out his grip. "You're lucky I even decided to come into this sinful pub. Only God knows what happens in here." She looks around in disgust. "I don't even know why you love this place."
The Shelby brother would've been lying if he said Tatiana didn't flash into his mind for a split second. He knew deep down that she would've said yes in a heartbeat, and he sort of missed that. He missed everything about her.
But that wasn't his concern anymore, it was time to lock away every memory and throw the key down the canal.
Tatiana was only temporary.
It was Linda who brought him the most stability and structure and maybe, that's what he needed right now.
"Come on, sweetheart. Don't be boring." Arthur was trying his best to persuade her with kisses down her neck and a hand around her waist.
"Arthur, we shouldn't." Linda breathes, her eyes now closed. "We really shouldn't."
"But we are." Arthur whispers in her ear, already unbuttoning her blouse.
Linda wasn't really an exciting person. She was pretty straightforward and decisive. Sometimes a little erratic. However, there were days when Arthur made her step out her comfort zone.
"You've got a house, Arthur." Tommy strolls into the pub, not even fazed at the fact that he had just walked in on his brother and sister in law.
"For fuck sake." Arthur mumbles, he was zipping up his trousers with the speed of light. Linda's cheeks were flushed with embarrassment as she tried to button up her clothes.
"We're trying to enjoy some alone time before the baby comes!" Linda angrily picks up her purse, ready to storm out.
"Well, this should be good practice then cos' privacy is a myth once you have children." Tommy bends down and picks up her bra that she had forgotten to put on, being in the rush that she was to leave. "That's what I've heard at least."
