Happy birthday

Love has been altered to many different points, you either hate it, admire it, or be consumed by it.

Amelia's POV

Today is one my big days, I planned a celebration to help me be out there within the mobster circle. I have to admit it is a privilege working alongside these men.
I earned my side, I earned my god given right.
How many women are sitting on the high temple knowing at any moment, death could take them.
I miss them; I Miss him.
I miss death

I wanted champagne imported from France, the Best club we could have it at, Live music. And a three tier, red velvet, cake with; cherry frosting. And cherries on top with a little star.
"Paulie! Today is the day, It is little Amelia Astrid birthday!".
Jimmy says. I nodded finishing my summer sausage sandwich with the best Mayo ever in the land, with lettuce and cheese. And in moment I felt good.
No more terrible thoughts, No more of me, Over compensating.
"I am excited, It's been years since I've felt anything, and it is like my emotions. Came back to life". Jimmy shyly looked at me, Paulie sent a sympathetic look with his eyes, trying to meet mine. And I let him; he provided and loved me unconditionally for years.
We all sat around in a circle, jimmy smoking as usual, Paulie counting his money and keeping track of it in his store.
They made me my childhood sandwich, The best sandwich you could ever have.
I took one more bite. Drinking some Green tea and dabbing my mouth with a napkin before finishing it.
"You're a Girl, they feel and cry all the time".
Henry Replies,
I whipped around my shoulder seeing Mr Hill himself wearing a Grey suit, and Primroses in his hand. He's here? Early, That is Surprising and yet;
I couldn't tell if he was joking or being serious.
"Oh? How do you know?". I ask
He laughs walking over to the table we all sat at.
"I'm married to Karen; Believe me".
"Hey is she coming tonight?? Alongside with your kids?"
"Yeah, But no kids, It'll be me and her".
"Somehow Henry has a way with words sometimes and conversations, But you are dumb".
He furrowed his eyebrows at me.
As in
Did she really call me dumb. Kind of look.

"I'm stupid? How Amelia?".

"Disrespecting the queen on her day".

Paulie and jimmy chuckled.
I have to admit, I laughed too; Henry pulled up a chair and handed me the primroses.
"This is a apology, Here is primroses for Ms Linton". 
Roses? For me? That's really nice; I don't think anyone would have gotten me flowers;
Ever...
"Thanks Henry".
He pulled me into a hug, I felt safe and warm in his arms. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him into a big hug.
Why do I feel held together? With his company around, What the fuck is happening.
I could smell his rich scent of cologne, It smelled like, A dark subtle musk, That is not too strong yet enlightening enough for you to address it. His signature scent.
I pulled away smiling, "Happy birthday to the toughest woman I know".

Toughest Woman? So I'm like the Female version of al Capone?
"Appreciate the Birthday wish Hill".
"Alright did she eat? Is Amelia ready?".
Henry asked Jimmy and Paulie. They both nodded,
"That's if she wants to go". Pauline gestures.
I gave them both a confused look,

Where am I going? Should I even go?
"Gentleman you left out some information to me! What the hell is going on". I exclaimed, Henry looked at me, then to Jimmy, Jimmy looks at Paulie.
"Henry is going to take you to find a dress for your birthday, and I'm giving you some money. So you wrong have to spend yours".

Oh; how sweet, It's like, Asking me to have fun while browsing.
"Thank you, Guys, Today is going to be a amazing day, And Yes I'm going".
I reply.

"Alright, I'm going to be outside so whenever you're done here, I will be waiting Amelia".
Henry cooly spoke. Within that he turned around walking out to the door,
"Hey Amelia,-". Pauli's whispered, I snapped back from staring at Henry, directing my attention to Paulie.

Fuck, He can feel the energy he brings.

"That is never going to happen, Do you understand me?".

"What do you mean?".
"Henry likes you, we both can tell, don't try to pursue it, you'll end up fucking everyone over who works for our Business".

That's right . Business before anything.
"I feel nothing for him, we bonded one night and I opened up to him just a tiny bit. He feels as if he could be there for me". I shot back
Jimmy sighed, "Kid, take some advice, don't try anything". He said ever so coldly, he hasn't spoken to me like since, Since my mother... left

I nodded. "Yes, I understand".

"Good, Now go enjoy yourself, Here is 4000$ cash, get some jewelry dress yourself up and look beautiful". Paulie says.

Beautiful, A Tragic, Yet wonderful word.

I grabbed the money slipping it into my purse; It'll never ever happen, Henry Hill and me will never happen.
