We were all sat around the table, drinking, talking and waiting for Johnny to bring the dinner out, dad seemed to have recovered from Tommy's behaviour earlier He never seemed to care what people thought but when it came to his daughters he was deadly serious.
The women arrived a while ago but the girl I saw earlier was no where in sight I had sat next to Luke, my best friend from the camps, we weren't always travelling together but I saw him more than anyone else
I had a spare seat the other side of me and dad was opposite, conversing with Polly shelby about anything and everything, he'd seem to have taken a liking to her.
We'd been sat around for an hour before I felt a sharp jab in my side, causing me to spill my drink on the table.
I looked to my left to see Luke grinning at me "Looks like mystery girls here" he nodded towards the left, I'd told him all about her earlier and he seemed to think I was 'in love', fucking idiot
I looked over and saw the girl from the funeral, she looked beautiful, like she didn't even have to try, she had that natural beauty, soft looking hair, her whole demeanour was seductive
She was like a siren, drawing men in
She stopped and started talking to some boy, was he her boyfriend? He was clearly a peaky boy but it looked like he was upsetting her She started shouting at him leading to most of the table looking towards her.
"What I do, who I fuck and who I go out with is none of your fucking business and I'm pretty sure a damn Lee boy would be better than you!" Was there ever a point when this girl wasn't mad? Were they together? If so I think she just broke up with him and I felt slightly happy at that thought.
He started grabbing her and she punched him in the throat Luke started laughing beside me and I couldn't help but chuckle as well Serves him right for upsetting someone like her
"Can you stop beating up my boys?" Tommy asked dryly as he inhaled his cigarette She glared at him and walked round the table "Well if they stopped hitting on me and calling me a whore then I wouldn't have to hurt them" she dropped down in the seat next to me "Maybe you should try teaching those 'boys' some manners" she added
"I told you before and I'll say it again... men are nothing but trouble Anna" Polly spoke up from her seat "Yeah but you cut any boy who even looks at me" she chimed back It then clicked in my head, she must be Polly's daughter Maybe I didn't have a chance with her after all.
