Too Late To Say Goodbye | Tommy Shelby {1}

49.

Dinner with Ada was going wonderfully.

Bella loved being able to sit down and talk with her friend about anything and everything.

They talked about their childhoods, Bella told her all about her brother and father. While Ada told her what it was like growing up with the Shelby brothers.

They talked about what it was like taking care of Karl and Charlie. Ada even gave her some pointers.
That part was weird for Bella. Although she appreciated the advice, it was strange how natural the conversation came. She had been watching over Charlie for quite sometime now, but she wouldn't have it any other way.

"Where's one place you've always wanted to go?" Ada asked while sipping her wine

Bella scrunched up her face in thought. Traveling wasn't something she had done much of, sure she's been all over England and to Italy once with Vinny. But that's it.
"Mmm I'm always wanted to go to Paris"

Ada smirked at her answer "ahh the city of love, maybe Tommy will take you one day"

She smiled while rolling her eyes "I don't think so Ada"

"Oh c'mon I know Tommy is secretly a romantic! Just look at what he did for your birthday!"

Feeling a blush come onto her cheeks, she doesn't even know the half of it Bella thought

"He can be very romantic", she admitted

Tommy felt himself being dragged.

He couldn't see anything, his hearing felt like he was in a bubble and his head was pounding worse than it ever had before...

Soon he was dumped onto the ground. Trying to open his eyes, everything was a blur, but he could see a light and could tell he was in an empty warehouse.

Not being able to keep them open, his eyes would shut every few seconds. When he was able to open them, they would shut before he had time to focus on anything.

"You idiot, you nearly killed him. Told you we needed him fully conscious"

He heard a voice. One vaguely familiar. Attempting to open them again, he made out two silhouettes. Jarvis and Hughes.

Not being able to fully concentrate on what was being said, the only thing he could hear was the pounding against his skull.

That was until a rough kick shook him,
"Hey Mr. Shelby, I heard about your plan to kill a holy man"

Timmy heard him but There was only one thing on his mind "Bella?" He weakly asked

Jarvis squatted down "Shelby. Why were you planning to kill Father Hughes?"

Feeling Hughes rough hands grab his face when he was falling unconscious again before answering.

"Passing information" Tommy managed to croak out

"Fuck. He knows." Jarvis cursed

Having a few seconds of clarity, Tommy looked around "where am I?"

"Among the odd fellows...Now please count from 10 to 1." Jarvis asked

"Oh. Fuck you." Tommy said, then with one kick, his world went black again.

After a couple glasses of wine, Bella and Ada thought it'd be a great idea to teach Karl how to bake.

So the three of them were in Ada's kitchen, with flour and sugar everywhere. Having decided to bake cookies.
