"Intoxicated"

3

It was a cold Monday morning and the sun was shining bright.Y/n was walking over to the Shelby house as Tommy asked her to come there.She was wearing an oversized white button up shirt with grey pants ,a grey coat and a navy blue striped vest(pic above and ya it's gal gadot) Her hair was down and she looked stunning.All eyes of the town people were on her.Only her.She reached the Shelby house and walked through the front yard.She knocked on the door a few times.A girl finally opened the door.
"Ye-yes?she said surprised to see a gorgeous woman at the doorstep
"Hello I'm here to see Tommy Shelby"y/n said politely smiling
"Oh you must be y/n the girl Tommy was talking about"she said
"Ahem"Tommy said clearing his throat
"Hi Tommy"y/n said smiling
He simply nodded and asked her to come in.
"I see you've met my sister"Tommy said in his husky voice
"Ya my name is ada"she said shaking her hand
"I'm y/n"y/n said smiling
"Nice to meet you"she said
"Shall we?"tommy asked without any emotions
"Ya sure"y/n said following Tommy
Tommy couldn't help but notice how beautiful she looked.Her smile could heal wounds but he knew she couldn't heal him.No woman ever could heal a Shelby he thought to himself.He brushed it off and opened the door for her to his office
Y/n walked in and admired his office.
"It's pretty well maintained I like it"y/n said walking slowly towards the other end of the office
She lightly brushed her fingers against the wood table in the corner and then turned towards the large window.Tommy just stared at her and kept staring at what she was doing.Y/n slightly brushed her fingers against the velvet curtains covering the window.She slightly opened a curtain to reveal a sun ray lightening the room.Her brown hair no looked golden because of the sun and she simply closed the eyes as goosebumps ran down her body due to the warmth of the sun.Tommy just looked at her with his hands behind and never said anything.He simply looked at her and how her face lit up by the sun rays.He walked over to her and looked out the window too.Y/n opened her eyes and her brown eyes lit up by the sun to make them look lighter and more beautiful.He looked back at her and she looked at him
"So why did you call me here?"y/n asked
Tommy was looking outside the window again.He took a heavy breath but soon his senses were filled with the intoxicating smell of jasmine.It was her perfume.He felt lightheaded a little as to how it smelled.He took in another breath and looked over at her.
"Needed to discuss business"he said plainly
He walked over to his desk and y/n followed him.
"Well what do you wanna discuss?"y/n asked
He asked her a little more he wanted to know about the trade and she simply answered all his questions except one.
"What's you full name?"he asked
Y/n didn't reply and just looked at him.She was hesitating to tell him
"I can't tell you that"y/n said looking down
"No you have to tell me I have no fucking idea who you are how can I trust you ?"he said getting up from his seat
"No I won't tell you that this is not the time"Yn said
"Tell me now"he said coming closer to her
She could see he was getting impatient but y/n kept saying no.
"I-Tommy I can't tell you that"she said sighing
"Fucking tell me now"he growled
Y/n failed at her attempts of not telling him.So she finally gave in.
"Fine"she said calmly
Y/n walked outside the house and sat on the stairs.The weather was dull and a storm was about to come but she found it calm.He simply followed and sat with her.She entangled her one hand in the other and sighed.They were silent for a while until she finally said it
"I - I am "y/n paused closing her eyes
"I'm y/n Whitemoore"she said closing her eyes
The name she was ashamed of ,the name she promised she would never say slipped out of her mouth.She looked over at Tommy who was now looking at her with wide eyes.He soon rubbed the expression off and was now just looking at her plainly.
"You're a whitemoore"he said looking back in front
"Tommy please listen I am nothing like my parents.My whole fucking life I've felt ashamed for who I was.My whole goddamn life I've hated my parents for what they did."y/n said
Tears were ready to slip out but she was strong so she would handle it.

"I was in my room one day and was just like a little girl.I heard screams coming from the hall.They were so loud that the whole manor was filled with it.So I decided to walk up to the source of that noise.I walked over to the hall to see -to see a pregnant woman ,an innocent woman bleeding.My dad was holding a gun at her and he shot her right in the stomach.She saw me and she crawled slowly towards me and-"y/n said cracking up at the end of sentence
"She begged for me to tell my dad to stop.Dad saw me standing there and ran over to me.He picked me up and asked a servant to take me back in my room.The lady screamed for me and few hours later I get to know she -"y/n said as a tear fell down at the corner of her eye
"She died and so did the child in her....I never forgave my dad for what he did that day and I still haven't.He always apologised and promised he would never kill any innocent but he never stopped"y/n said closing her eyes and leaning back.
"Every single day of my fucking life I spend protecting whoever I can,Any innocent I can save and I just I can't help it.I am nothing like my parents and that's why I refused to be a whitemoore and was going to start a life of my own but that decision was soon interrupted when my dad died.And I have no idea if I regret not forgiving him or not it's just -"y/n said taking a deep breath
"My mother is the only one who understands me.But like a loyal wife she had to support dad no matter what and I don't blame her for that but it's so hard.I've seen 467 innocents dying in front of me.467 single innocents killed by him in front of my eyes.It hurts so much now that I can't even feel any pain it's just numb" y/n said quickly wiping her tear and sitting back down.
"There you go you know everything now"y/n said looking at Tommy
He was already looking at her with an unreadable face.But y/n was not someone who couldn't read him.She could she was the only one who could.She knew his eyes had seen innocents dying too
"You've seen them too"y/n said looking at him
He looked in the front and took a deep breath.Jasmine cologne,slightly wet mud and smell of cigarette filled his nose.His lightheaded feeling came back but this time he liked it.He opened his eyes again but y/n was now standing in his front yard.Her back facing him.She simply stood there with her eyes closed and feeling slight rain drops on her face.

"You're right I have seen them"Tommy said now standing with her
"Many of them"he said sighing and looking here and there but not looking where he most wanted too
"I know I saw it in your eyes.You can't lie to me Tommy.I can read you."she said as a smile came on her beautiful face
"No one can read a Shelby"he said laughing bitterly
"I certainly can Tommy.I think you've met your match"she said smiling at him
He looked at her an eyebrow raised.
"Really?"he said with a smirk
Y/n slightly chuckled.Her laugh was the most beautiful thing you could ever hear.
"Here"Tommy said giving her a white envelope
"What is it?"y/n asked
He said nothing and just let her open it.She opened it to see an invitation to a ball.
"You're hosting a ball?"y/n asked
He nodded slowly "I am"
"It doesn't seem like something you would do"y/n said scoffing
"Be there on time and wear some kind of dress"he said looking at her up and down.Y/n looked at her once and gave him a sarcastic smile
He slightly laughed and took out a cigarette.He offered her one
"It's morning"y/n said declining it
"Doesn't matter to me"he said in his deep voice
Y/n rolled her eyes playfully and started walking towards the gate
"Be there on Time whitemoore"he said a little too loud but luckily no one was near
She turned and gave him a wtf look but waved him goodbye and walked away.
Tommy stood there smiling.He really was surprised as too who she turned out to be.But he didn't care.He felt a little bad as too what she's seen in life and what she's been through.Instead of walking back home he decided to go to the garrison.
He soon reached the pub and opened the doors.Many eyes wanted to look at him but they knew what would happen if they would stare so they didn't.He walked over to the counter and asked for a whiskey.A blonde woman came outside with a smile on her face.
"Welcome mr Shelby"she said smiling
"Grace"he said nodding
"How are you today?"she asked with an innocent smile
"Usual"he said sighing not wanting to talk about his day because he never did but he sometimes used to with her.
She gave him his drink and simply smiled at Him.
He sat and drank there for a while.Days had passed and something was between them.They kissed once too.Grace really liked Tommy and he liked her too.He knew he did but something was bugging him.He asked her to be his date to the ball.Apparently he didn't think this one through.He thought the feeling bugging him was nothing but his own mind so he asked her out.
