It's been a couple days since I song to Tommy.... the pub was was loud with people singing I grabbed a Bucket of beer and walk into the private room
" whiskey?" I asked
" no just beer" Tommy says as he his eyes follow my every move
" why not whiskey Tommy expecting trouble?" ask Arthur holding cards in his hand
"Jesus Christ Tommy what the hell made you let them sing? They sound terrible!" John said with a laugh as I continue to scoop out cups of beer
" what did make you change your mind Tommy?" he asked again as Tommy Side eyed me as I try to hide my smile walking out of the room his eyes never leave me
I walk back over to the bar and start pouring drinks when suddenly the bar doors open I didn't look up not being interested in who it was
"Holy shit....it's billy kimber"harry says as I look over at the door to see
" is there any man named Shelby?" He question nobody answered him
BANG
Everyone let out a scream
"I said is there any man here by the name Shelby?" The man question again holding up the gun when the door to the private rooms opened
"Harry get these men a drink everybody else go home"Tommy said in the Matter of seconds everybody was out
"Ana hold this"harry said As I hold the trey in my hands Grace walks up behind me as Harry puts four glasses and a bottle on it
" take it love" he said as I walk over to the table setting down the trey Grace not far behind me
" go home" Tommy said to me as I was about to nod my head Grace cuts in
"But mr.r-" he cuts her off with a harsh glare and says
"I said go home"He said looking at her then back at me
" never approve of women in pubs. But when They look like her" The man called billy said looking at me up and down
" you said you wanted a man name Shelby you got three.... go home Anastasia" Tommy said I nodded and quickly went out the door making my way home
When I got home I put my hands together and Blow in them making a howling sound
" hello beauty" I said
"do ye wanna go for a ride?" I asked jumping on her back
"Come on" I said clicking my tongue making her go forward as she gallops out into the field

I was laying in the grass looking up at the clouds as beauty laid behind me with my head slightly resting on her belly
"Do ye like it here?.... I like it here....Can I ask you something?" I said looking up at the horse like she was going to respond
" do ye miss them?...mom,dad,coda?... i do" I said getting teary-eyed
" ye'll always be here right?" I asked and she very big nods her head
"Come on it's gettin late" I said getting up and she's at the same time getting onto her back and riding home

I was working my normal shift in the pub When I heard knock slightly glaring towards the window I see Tommy
" give me a bottle of whiskey and three glasses please" he says looking at me I look away
" Scotch or Irish?" I asked not looking at him
" Irish" he says as I grab the bottle and three glasses
" I decided not to go to the races... not unless you give me another 2 pounds 10 shillings...For the dress" I said handing him the bottle As he tries not to smile
" I already given you three"
" how much did ye pay for the suit ye'll be wearin?"
"Oh I don't pay..My suit are on the house or the house burns down" he says slightly tilting his head to the side as I give one small nod
"So ya want me to go look like a flower girl?"
"What I want makes no difference....It's not me your dressing for"He says taking the three glasses and the bottle closing the window i'm little disappointed
What are you thinking that he actually liked you? You thought to yourself taking a deep breath as you change your work
"hey Grace" I said smiling at her She smiled as she walks close to the window next to the private room it kinda look like she was listening?
Not your business Anastasia I think to myself shaking my head and continuing working suddenly she quickly moved away from the window looking at her confusedly as the main exit the room singing Tommy comes sets the bottle of whiskey down on the counter next to me as I wipe it down
" I thought you didn't like singing other than Saturdays" I said looking up at him smiling
" whiskey is good proofing water it tells you who's real and who isn't"
" and what did my countrymen want?" Grace said entering the conversation
"Oh they're nobodies they drink in the black swan in sparkbrook they only rebels because they like the singing" he said to her then look back at me
" you have sympathies with them?" she asked again as I walk away since I was not included in the conversation
"Will you work for me?" he asked me I only shrugged my shoulders as I kept wiping down the bar
" you coming to the races?"He asked walking over to me
" 2 pound... 10 shillings" he said putting the money on the counter
" Buy something red.To match his handkerchief" he said pointing at me and started to walk out
" who's handkerchief?" I asked but he did not reply quickly I grab the money and sliding it to me Looking over at Grace
"Your going to the races with mr. Shelby?" she asked looking at me
"Ya Tommy asked" i said continuing wiping down the counter
"Tommy? you call him his first name.... I didn't realize you were that close" she says I shrug my shoulders and continue working
" hey harry said I could have the rest of the day off so I'm off" Grace is walking to the door
"All right see ya" I said With a wave of mine hand
