Thomas Shelby Imagines

Months

Your relationship with Alfie grew slowly. You'd met him when he visited Tommy, bumped into him a few times when you met up with Ada, and revealed your slowly splintering relationship with Tommy. You'd expected him to come up with a deal, do the unthinkable, and betray the Shelby family for a free no questions asked reward.

Instead you were fed, adored and almost worshiped by the gangster. You tried to leave Tommy several times and somehow always ended back in the same place, taking care of him as he blindly stumbled through, all the while pretending he had a plan.

Well you had a plan of your own, a getaway car and everything, all ready to hurry you away to hide in London. But everything in your plan hinged on a big Shelby bash which you needed to create tactfully, so no one would think it odd to suddenly throw a party.

"I don't think I've seen the family enjoy themselves so much, it was a good plan." Ada chuckled as she smiled at you.

"Well we've had so much happen we needed a break." You responded with a well-rehearsed excuse.

Tommy didn't let you out of his sight, guiding you around to great people, making you nervous that you'd waisted Alfie's generosity. But the moment appeared and you took it, walking as quickly as you dared while your heart raised and your chest clenched.

"Poll, you seen (Y/N)?" Tommy asked after his third walk through the party to see you had indeed vanished while his back was turned.

"Yes she was just over... I saw her talking to Ada a minute ago, she can't be far." Polly mumbled and decided to help look for you.

"Right now, Mr Shelby what can I do for you, I had a busy day planned." Alfie sighed as he stopped a few feet away from the fuming man before him.

"Busy day, is that what it's called now, where is she?" Tommy all but spat at Alfie who rolled his eyes.

"No idea who you mean." He watched as Tommy's gun lowered before pointing back at him again.

"You've tricked her haven't you, convinced her that you're better, how long before you decide the information she's given you isn't good enough." Tommy snapped and glanced to see if you were in the car with the rest of Alfie's men.

"Right now mate let's get one thing clear, she won't tell me nothing about Shelby incorporated, tried to get it out of her the first few months but she wouldn't give it up and after she threatened to take my eye out with a butter knife I figured I liked her more than the information." Alfie drawled and Tommy's eyes hardened.

"First few months?" He asked and Alfie nodded to himself as he glanced away from the hurting man.

"How is it that Thomas Fucking Shelby doesn't notice his woman's off in London with another man, it's not like she was down here for a few hours, she'd be with me for weeks." Alfie asked and denial was clear as day when Tommy took in what Alfie was saying.

"You know what you can tell her to have her fun but she'll be back Birmingham before the month's ends." Tommy let the gun drop to his side and Alfie was almost smug at the defeat.
