soft spot - TOMMY SHELBY - CILLIAN MURPHY

family meeting

a few days past since my last encounter with cillian and i couldn't stop thinking about him for some reason, i think it was the confusing fact that he infuriated yet intrigued me all at once. and i guess that was something i never experienced before

today was  supposed to be my lazy day, all i wanted to do is stay in bed and watch netflix. but no of course i can't do that because my parents want a 'family meeting' which at the least gives me anxiety, why do they have to label it, why cant they just say they wanna have a chat, putting the label 'family meeting' on it, makes it seem like a big deal and there for gives me anxiety... sorry my tangent is over! but foreal labelling it is so unnecessary.

i dragged myself out of bed and looked in my walk in closet for something to wear, i could not be botherd to put any effort in my appearance so i wore a plain white t shirt and some comfy grey jogging bottoms, my naturally curly hair was still straight from the day before so i just brushed it and left my dark brunette hair down, i had eyelash extensions so i didn't really need to wear any makeup today.

i yawned and made my way downstairs groaning wishing i could stay in bed longer.
making my way to the lounge i was startled by a loud knock at the door.
oh for fuck sake i'm gonna have to get that!
i marched over to the door unlocking it ...and to my suprise guess who was standing there,
with there perfect deep blue eyes and stupid hair and lips.
the one and only
cillian

this day couldn't get any worse.
"devyn" he said as a way or saying hi, tilting his head upwards slightly
"why are you here"
god that sounded rude, i didn't mean it in a rude way but im grouchy in the mornings.
" someone got up on the wrong side of the bed"
and again he doesn't answer my questions, he said this sarcastically pushing past me making his way over to my father.
" grayson " he said loudly walking to my dad as they patted eachother on the back
" cillian good to see you mate your just in time"
in time for what? what's going on
" ah there u are dev, sit down we need to talk"   my dad said brightly
" what's going on"
" god don't look so worried darling me and your father was just going to tell u that we're going on a buisness trip for a few weeks and because no family lives near by, we kindly asked cillian if u could stay at his for the time being, as he is a very close friend of ours and is almost like family! we know you'd be safe with him" my mother said casually
what the fuck are they actually being serious
" i'm a adult i'm perfectly capable of staying alone, i don't need baby sitting"
" look me and ur mother know that, we just think it would be safer if u stay with someone because come on darling do u really want to stay in this massive house alone, cillian wont bother u, he's at work most of the time, it's just so we know ur safe'
" i don't fucking need babysitting"
i stormed out the room fraustrated
what the fuck
why
why him
why are they leaving me with him
he's such a asshole

i went to my bedroom and threw myself on the bed madly, before i could even think i was interrupted by a knock at my door
" go away dad"
" uh it's not ur dad"
i heard cillians voice speak low
" come in"
cillian peeped his head around the door and slowley walked over to me standing near my bed
" look devyn i know u don't need babysitting and u don't have to stay with me but please ur dad is trying his best he just wants you to be safe, half the time i won't be there, my house will be yours basically" he said starring at me with his blue eyes
" plus u know i can actually be really fun at times" he went on
cillian noticed my eyes were red and glossy and looked confused
" cillian im sorry, it's not you, i just got angry because there always going on buisness trips, it's like the only time i get to come home and be with them while im not at college, they are just always working"
cillian looked shocked at this and sat at the end of my bed
" i know i get it, i get it, but don't be upset about it, just think of it as a good thing, if u was stuck around them all the time you'd get sick of them, i know it's weird staying with someone u just met, but it's just for security , ur parents know ur not a baby"
i smiled gently taking in all his words, maybe he isn't as much of a cunt as he seems to be
" trust me i don't wanna do this as much as you dont ,but i'm a good friend of ur dad, so i kind of have to"
okay never mind he's still a prick
"so hey why don't we just both agree to this and make it easy for ur parents"
he spoke again
i let out a deep breathe and agreed by nodding my head
" okay"
"when is this"
" on monday so next week" he spoke bluntly like always
" and how long is it"
" they said it could be up to 3 weeks"
" that's almost a month what?"
" oh come on i'm not that bad, ur making out u have to stay with the adam's family, it's worse for me, letting a teenager stay in my house with all there hormones and mood swings"
" you really agrivate me"
cillian smirked and walked out my room leaving the door a jar open behind him
.

a few hours later
.
.

Cillian had left and gone home and i was talking to my parents about the whole situation
" why him, out of everyone"
"devy you know we don't know many people who live nearby plus we wanted you to be near to ur college so it's best for u to stay with him"
"well what if he's a secret creep or something"
"trust me i know he isn't" ur dad let out a laugh
"darling if i had any doubt in my mind about you staying with him, i wouldn't let you, plus i think he's still in love with his ex wife" ur dad let out a giggle.
for some reason this made me feel jelous? i don't know why, or how but i just didn't like hearing about that.
