Sofia // Peaky Blinders

45

Sofia raised her eyebrow and looked at Michael with a stern look on her face. The last time she had seen him was when they had gotten into a argument.

"Michael darling, whos your friend?" Gina asked, her arm wrapped around Michaels arm.

Michael licked his bottom lip and cleared his throat. "Gina, this is Sofia a old friend of mine. Sofia, this is my wife Gina". He said.

Sofia turned her head to look at Gina to see her giving her a death glare.

"It's very nice to meet you". Sofia said. She turned her head and looked at Micheal as he asked. "Why dont you join us?" He asked.

Sofia turned her head to look up at Tony with a raised eyebrow. She turned her head and smiled. She nodded her head slightly and turned around. She raised her eyebrow at Polly as she sat in beside her.

"So how is it that you know my husband?" Gina asked, her arm still wrapped around Michaels arm. Her eyes never leaving Sofia.

Sofia looked up and smiled softly at Arthur as he handed her a drink. She turned and looked at Gina.

"He helped with the murder of my husband". She said before knocking back her drink. Tommy and Arthur looked at each other smirking. They both knew in that instant that Sofia would not like Gina.

Sofia turned her head and looked at Tony.

"So you got your husband killed?" Gina asked, sarcasm evident in her tone.

Sofia took a deep breath and gave Tony a look. Sofia turned her head to look at the American. "Yes. I got him killed. It was actually Arthur here who killed him". She answered. She leant forwards. "He pulled out his gun and shot my husband and I let him die". She looked at Gina with a evil look.

"You see Gina". She spat. She looked her up and down and smirked. "Nobody gets away with crossing me and I mean no one. You disrespect me then I will make sure it will be the last thing you do". She leaned backwards and knocked back the second drink that Arthur poured for her. She smiled at Tony and stood up.

"Are you serious Michael. Are you going to let her talk to me like that?" Gina asked, fake tears in her eyes.

Sofia shook her head and turned to look at the Shelbys. "Ill see you soon". She said softly.

She walked out with Tony following her. She frowned when a hand grabbed her arm pulling her back. "Can we talk?" Michael asked.

Sofia nodded at Tony and sighed. She allowed Michael to drag her in behind the bar and down into the beer cellar. Sofia frowned and pulled her arm out from Michaels grasp. She crossed her arms and leant against some barrels.

Michael stood there and took a deep breath. Sofia looked down at his hands to see him clenching his fists. She looked back up to his face to see him staring at the ground. His face stern as he tried to control his anger.

"Im trying really fucking hard here Sofia but your pushing me. Between you and my fucking family none of you have made Gina welcome". He shouted.

Sofia stayed in her spot, her arms still crossed as she looked at Michael. "Don't raise your voice at me". She muttered.

Michael chose to ignore her and continued. He walked up to her and put his hand in front of her face.

"I mean we were once close, I thought out of everyone you would be the one to be at least supportive of me and my dreams. I love Gina and I will not allow anyone to fucking hurt her". He shouted.

Sofia whacked Michaels hand out of the way and pushed him away. Her face was close to his as she shouted. "I told you not to raise your voice at me Michael". She screamed.

It all happened to quickly for the two of them to realise what was happening and what they where doing.

Michael had grabbed Sofia by the face and pulled her into him, there lips touching immediately. Sofias hand came to Michaels face and gently caressed it as he wrapped his arms around her waist. He pulled her up and placed her ontop of one of the barrels, her legs wrapping around him.

Michael pulled off his coat and deepened the kiss with Sofia. One of his hands was wrapped around her waist and the other was on the back of her head, his fingers where tangled in her silky hair.

They both pulled apart when the cellar door opened and Micky walked down the stairs.

"Hello Michael didnt know you where down here". He said as he grabbed a few bottles of wine.

"Yeah I was just heading back up". He said.

Sofia smiled softly at Micky and walked up the stairs. She came through the bar and turned around to be faced with Michael. He opened his mouth to talk but turned his head as the door was opened. Arthur walked out and raised his eyebrow at the two of them. He looked at Sofia and her ruffled hair. He turned and looked at Michael, a smirk on his face.

Sofia smiled at Arthur and quickly rushed out of the garrison. Her eyes landed on Tony as he leant against the wall. "You okay?" He asked.

She took a deep breath and sighed. She licked her bottom lip and shook her head. "I need a hot bath and a bottle of wine". She muttered as they walked away.
