A knock rang at the door of the bookies causing Polly, Olivia and Esme to all look at each other. Olivia stood from her place and went to open the door. As she did, a young woman stood at her doorstep holding a large bouquet of flowers. Roses and lillies. Olivia gasped at the sight as the young woman held them out to her.
'Miss Olivia Rey?' Olivia nodded ad she took the heavy bouquet out of her hands. The gorgeous smell of the flowers hit Olivia's nose. The young woman turned to walk away. Olivia shut the door and turned to the two women behind her. They gasped at the sight of the large beautiful arrangement.
'Bloody hell! They are gorgeous! Who are they from? If they are from Tommy, John is going to be getting a serious beating!' Esme complained as she stared at the flowers Olivia was holding.
She made her way to her office and she set the flowers down on the table. Her eye caught sight of the note amongst the vast arrangement. Was this Tommy's doing? He had never bought her flowers and she was expecting him home today?
The women watched as she opened the note, her eyes glazed over.
A beautiful woman, deserves beautiful flowers.
JK
'Well! Who are they from?' Polly questioned. Olivia shook her head and crumbled up the note. Who did this man think he was?
'A secret admirer. Bloody fool!' Olivia joked, causing the girls to roll there eyes. Polly and Esme began to fawn over the flowers until there conversation was interuppted. Olivia smiled as she saw the door open and Tommy walked in. Olivia pushed past Polly and rushed towards him. He may have only been gone a few days, but that was more than enough.
Tommy smiled as he opened his arms to Olivia who pulled him into a hug. She wrapped her hand around his neck, happy to see him home. She ran her fingers through his dark hair, causing him to chuckle.
'Miss me?' He spoke softly.
'Like you wouldn't believe!' Olivia laughed as she pulled him in for a kiss. Olivia didn't want to let go of him, but sure enough he took hold of her hands and unwrapped them from his body.
'How was your trip Thomas?' Polly asked.
'Good. Arthur and John took us out to the country, had some of that brotherly bonding time,' Tommy spoke, causing Polly to roll her eyes.
'You'll never guess what Tom, your Liv has a secret admirer!' Esme sang, as Olivia shot her a look to be quiet. Olivia looked up and Tommy who smirked down at her.
'Has she now? I don't blame the poor bastard,' Tommy joked as Olivia hit him on the arm. 'What makes you say that, Esme?'
'The big fuck off flowers in her office say so!' Esme pointed out. Tommy raised an eyebrow as he looked over the Olivia's office to see the large arrangement through the door. He looked down at Olivia with a raised eyebrow and walked towards her office. Olivia rolled her eyes at Esme and Polly, knowing he would start to question.
Olivia followed on his heels as he took long strides towards her office to see the flowers in question. When he opened the door, he turned to Olivia raising an eyebrow.
'Did they come with a note?' Tommy asked. Olivia quickly shook her heas, thanking herself for screwing the note up. Tommy looked over at Esme and Polly. 'Well, Liv, looks like Esme was right...you do have a secret admirer!' Tommy chuckled. Olivia raised an eyebrow.
'You're...you're not mad?' She questioned, expecting Tommy to go off and hunt them down. Tommy pulled Olivia in for a hug and kissed her forehead gently.
'Mad? No. Like I said, I feel sorry for the poor bastard!' Olivia breathed a sigh of relief, praying that Jonathon would not be making an appearance now that Tommy was home.
The couple quickly made it back to Olivia's. Three days without Tommy was killing Olivia and now that he was home she couldn't be happier. She pulled on his hand as she dragged him though the door.
'Steady on, Liv. What's the rush?' Tommy shouted as Olivia pulled on his hand through the hallway. She flashed him a cheeky smirk which could only mean one thing. She let go of his hand and turned to face him.
'Well, I did say you would get a surprise when you get home...' Olivia sang, causing Tommy to pull her hips towards his. He brushed a stand of blonde hair behind her ear and began to place soft kisses on her neckline.
'I do remember. What is it?' Tommy mumbled through his kisses. Olivia chuckled as she took hold of his hands and placed them on her thighs, making sure he could feel the stockings under her dress. She looked deeply into his pale blue eyes and couldn't resist being a tease.
