My Only True Love

Chapter 10

               Sweeney woke up screaming. Nellie ran upstairs to his room to check on him. "Sweeney?" Nellie asked. "Yes?" Sweeney sniffled. "Are you alright? I 'eard ya scream dear." Nellie answered. "I'm fine." Sweeney answered. "Mista T please, we're engaged." Nellie said. "I'm not a vulnerable man." Sweeney answered. Nellie put her hand on his shoulder and smiled sweetly at him. "Oh, Mista T, it's alright to cry." Nellie said. Sweeney couldn't take it. He embraced Nellie and started to cry. He never cried before, which in Sweeney's case something really set him off. "Come on love, let's go to me room." Nellie said leading him downstairs.

Nellie placed him on her chase lounge and sat herself in his lap and pulled his head into her chest. "Now wot's wrong Mista T?" Nellie asked. Sweeney gulped. "I 'ad a nightmare." Sweeney answered. "Wot was it about?" Nellie asked. "I lost you in my nightmare." Sweeney answered now crying even harder. If he lost Nellie he would lose himself. "Oh Mista T, you'll never lose me, I'm right 'ere, I'll always be right 'ere." Nellie said pressing answer kiss to Sweeney's lips. The kiss wasn't long, but loving gentle and sweet.

"Nell, if I lost you I would lose me'self." Sweet said. "I said you won't lose me, love." Nellie said. "Nell, can I sleep down 'ere with you tonight?" Sweeney asked. Nellie smiled sweetly at him. "Of course you can my love." Nellie said.

Sweeney took off his shirt and Nellie went in the other room to change into her nighty. Nellie came out of the room and climes next to Sweeney. "Nell, we'll be movin' in two days." Sweeney said. Nellie smiled wide and looked up at Sweeney. "I'm so excited." Nellie said kissing Sweeney's cheek. "I knew you would be, you sang a song about it. Nellie laughed. "I couldn't get your attention any other way, love." Nellie said giggling. Sweeney couldn't help but laugh. Man, he was glad all the nagging and visions had stopped, yet he found it adorable. "I know." Sweeney said. "Let's tell Toby at breakfast tomorrow love, I know he'll love the sea." Nellie said kissing Sweeney's cheek goodnight. "Goodnight my angel." Sweeney said kissing Nellie on the lips goodnight.

Morning came and Nellie woke up in Sweeney's arms with a huge smile on her face for she knew what was to come today and the day after tomorrow. Ton was up early, which was very unusual. "Mornin' mum!" Toby exclaimed with joy. "God mornin' love, wot are you doin' up so early?" Nellie asked. "Thought I might check on you when you woke up, you know...last night mum." Toby exclaimed. "Oh yes!  But, enough of last night because I have some wonderful news!" Nellie exclaimed with joy. Sweeney came out of her room. The duo say Toby down ready to talk of what was to come in two days. "In two day, we're moving by the sea." Nellie said trying to hold in her excitement. Nellie smiled wide waiting for Toby's response. "That's wonderful!" Toby exclaimed with joy. "Wot about Thomas....and that girl at the picnic?" Nellie asked. Toby's heart sank suddenly. "If it makes you happy mum, I'll find someone else and s new friend." Toby said smiling. Nellie smiled wide. "Thank you dear." Nellie said smiling kissing Toby's forehead. Toby hugged his mum's waist. "I said I'd do anything for ya mum, I meant it." Toby said. "I'm sure you did my love." Nellie said kissing Toby's cheek.

"We should get a couple things packed up boys." Nellie said. Toby and Sweeney nodded and went to pack up their fragile belongings. Later Nellie came up to Sweeney's parlor and saw him on his knees with his 'friends' and the case open.

"Can ya part with your razors dear? You've no need to kill anymore." Nellie said. "I'll be alright, I'll still be a barber, but no slit throats." Sweeney said. Nellie gave Sweeney a look. "I promise my love." Sweeney said. "Good, but I'll 'ave me eye on ya." Nellie said giving him and 'I'm watching you' look with her eyes which caused Sweeney to roll his eyes playfully.

Man he loved her humor. Sweeney packed up some of his belongings(excluding razors of course) and put them downstairs with Toby and Nellie things. Sweeney didn't plan on killing anyone but kept his razors with him. He still loves them dearly. But Nellie more.

The next day Nellie ordered everyone to finish packing. Sweeney finished but of course kept his beloved razors. Nellie kept on smiling. "Tomorrow?" Sweeney asked. Nellie smiled wide and nodded.

Night fell and Nellie got everyone to bed for the big day tomorrow. Nellie leaned her head into Sweeney's chest. She always enjoyed when he held her close like this. Tomorrow would be one of the happiest days of Nellie's life.
