"Grace asked me for more money for her dress that she is going to wear to the races" Tommy scoffed. "I hope you told her to buy something red" I simply retort. The girl annoys me, not only was she beautiful and smart, Tommy taking her to the races and not me. I guess some might say I'm a tad jealous of her but mainly my lack of liking for the girl comes from the fact I don't think she's trustworthy. Tommy caught me up on the meeting he had earlier, telling me that Grace offered to help translate next time. "Hmm, I bet she would love to work right up next to you. Finding out all the little secrets of business" Tommy chuckles at my obvious jealousy. We were sat in my bedroom whilst I did my hair he sat on my bed leaning against the headboard. He stood, grabbed a chair and dragged it to sit right next to me. "Are you jealous?" Tommy teased me nudging my shoulder, which I only mocked a laughter as response. "Well, what colour dress are you going to wear to the races?" Tommy questions "Who said anything about wearing a dress?" I smirk at the man.

I hadn't seen anyone for a couple of days, an Irish bloke had been murdered. After Tommy's meeting with them, so if it wasn't the Peaky boys then someone definitely knew it would look like it was. I was working when I saw Arthur and Tom walk into the Garrison. I greet them hello but carry on working before, I hear Tommy talking to Harry. Tommy wanted the pub, yes, to give it to Arthur but he took Harry's pub.
My heart broke for Harry, when it came to the Peaky Blinders you can't say no. Tommy looked real pleased with himself, I only scoffed and shook my head at him. "You're such a fucking prick" I say to him. His smile was quickly wiped from his face. I storm off, I don't even want to see his face I'm so irritated with him. How could he do this to Harry? Couldn't he find another pub? I could hear his footsteps follow me into the back.
Once we were out of sight, Tommy had me up against a wall. His leg between mine, leaning his weight forward as his hand was lightly gripping my face. He wasn't hurting me and I wasn't unfamiliar with this. Tom always did this when I had annoyed him, he would never really hurt me though he just liked to gain his power back and try to intimidate me. It never worked. I roll my eyes at the man. "Mind what you say to me, sweetheart" Tommy advised. "Mind who you're talking to, love" I retorted. There is no way in hell I would let him intimidate me. He was in the fucking wrong. Tom just got closer to me and applied more weight onto his front foot, pressing me into the wall further. I raise my arms to wrap around his neck bringing him in closer until our lips barely grazed each other. I could feel him release some of his weight off, giving me the opportunity to push him off me. It all happened very easily not using much strength at all. Tommy eyes flew up in shock of being pushed. "Don't play with me dear, you will lose." I kiss him on the lips before leaving him behind in the back room.

I made my way to Tommy's extremely early a couple days after our mini fight in the back room of the Garrison. Ada had come in to the Garrison yesterday freaking out that Freddie and Tommy we're going to kill eachother. She really had worked herself up and could've potentially harming the baby. Grace and I had finally managed to calm her down and got her to drink water.
