"I'm honoured you asked me to be your girlfriend."
~~~
ELIZABETH HENDERSON. The golden girl of the North East was gazed upon as her heels clicked along the streets of Newcastle Upon Tyne. The many men who wished to have her yet couldn't just quite grasp her watched in delight. The blonde beauty was like a ray of sunshine in every town she stepped foot in; the smile of her pearls would always be planted on her face, her hair always done nice and her clothes always new. It was no secret that Elizabeth was not only one of the most beautiful women in Britain, she was also one of the most kind hearted.
"She'd never hurt a fly."
"Mummy look at her! I want to look like her when I grow up!"
"I'll marry her one day, she is my dream girl."
Those were only a few of the comments she would hear on a daily basis, yet she never listened. Only smiled sweetly and shook her head in amusement. The truth is Elizabeth didn't want to marry, no matter how many men had gotten down on one knee to her she always refused. Her heart belonged to that of Thomas Shelby and that would never change.
The clocks struck half nine as Elizabeth plonked down on the train. Her bag in the seat next to her and a women with her child opposite her, the small boy gazing up at her in awe.
"Excuse me miss. Would you like to be my girlfriend?" The boy who couldn't be older then seven asked her, his mother gasped, giving him a light smack on the arm. "Timothy you can not just ask people that!" She scolded him, apologising to Elizabeth.
"It is fine, really." She smiled at the brunette women before turning to the boy. "How old are you Timothy?" Her velvet tones said to him kindly.
"I'm six and a half." The boy grinned, a few of his teeth missing. "I'm a big boy!" He said cheerfully, bouncing in his seat.
"Well Timothy, I'm honoured you asked me to be your girlfriend I'd be crazy to not say yes." She told him softly as the boy let out a yippee. "Where are you from Timothy?"
The boy looked at his mother for help, the women smiled at her son before turning to face Elizabeth. "Birmingham, we came up here to visit some friends. I'm Sheila Goode by the way." The mother smiled, holding her hand out for Elizabeth to shake.
Elizabeth nodded and took her hand, shaking it. "Elizabeth Henderson." She smiled as the women raised her eyebrows.
"Wait are you thee Elizabeth Henderson? Mr Shelby's former lover." Sheila said in slight shock as Elizabeth gave her a confused look and a nod. "You're pretty much famous in Birmingham, people speak of your beauty all the time but I never expected you to be as beautiful as you are. I'm honoured to meet you."
