Thomas Shelby imagines-a new chapter

107.New year

"God it's the first New Year's Eve without y/n.When is she coming back even?"Polly sighed sipping on her drink standing next to Tommy at the fireplace watching the party he hosted at his house with people talking to each other and dancing,music playing and of course Arthur in the corner pissing Ada off.

Tommy shook his head pretending he was not bothered by her absence

"I don't know when she's coming Polly I didn't ask"he pretended to shrug of the idea of her but Polly very well knew that Tommy had her always in his heart

I mean she had once told him she loved old English mansions and Tommy when the need came bought one exactly like that

An old English mansion.But he had always pretended there was nothing in his heart for her.He always thought there was no place for love in his heart

"Of course you didn't ask.I just thought you'd know"she smirked turning her head back at the crowd.

"But you have to say she was the life of the party Thomas.Do you remember that one time Arthur got so drunk that she slapped him until he stopped singing so loudly"Polly chuckled and Tommy couldn't help but give a small smile himself at the memory

He very well remembered that day.He very well remembered how she looked,how she dressed up,how she smelled and how she smiled at him.

Tommy cursed himself for being so pathetic.But he thought his secret was in him only.

"And that one time when she got so drunk she was grabbing Johnny dogs and was dragging him out of the house to go see a horse.And then you came and slapped Johnny at the back of his head and grabbed her and took such good care of her"she smiled.Tommy looked down at his drink and drank the last sip of it

"Yeah Polly I remember.These things are only worth remembering...not living"he said and walked away from her.She looked at her nephew with soft eyes for she could see the love in his heart and it made her sign with relief that Tommy wasn't just stone cold and had room in his heart for love

He opened the back door to his house and took a deep breath.Tommy opened his cigarette case and took out a cigarette,lighting it for himself.

He blew smoke out and stared at his garden up front.Something about standing in there hearing her stories was suffocating him.

He closed his eyes and listened to the sound of nothingness.

"Gee Tommy you're standing all alone in the cold and don't even have a coat on.What are you,a madman?"he heard her voice and it made him open his eyes with a snap.He turned his head to the side to see her standing at the porch leaning against the pillar staring at him with one of her smiles

"What are you-

"Yes yes I know you would ask that and my business was done early in London so I'm here"she smiled and walked closer to him.Every step closer to him made her heart thump loudly for she missed his presence so much

She missed his cologne,his slight smell of cigarettes lingering on his collar.She loved his aura,the way he would give everyone a death stare,but look at her in the softest way.She missed his beautiful face,his blue oceanic eyes that had the power to finish her right there and then.

"I couldn't leave you alone on a new years night now that's just rude of me"she joked

"Why couldn't you?"he smirked leaning his head down a little to be closer to her to intimidate her

"Cause you're a boring cold man and you need me to give you company on such a special night!"she complained.Tommy chuckled right at her face and stared into her eyes

"Oh stop it!"she leaned back and looked away from him making him chuckle slightly.Y/n was his childhood friend,someone he knew every single thing about

And she was someone who had always been by his side at every single moment of his life.

"I bet everyone inside is missing me I could just leave you here you know"she turned around but Tommy's surprisingly warm hand grabbed her wrist and turned her around

She gasped slightly when she collided with his chest,her hand was resting right above his heart and she was gasping for breath.

Her stomach tingled immediately and her knees felt weak.She was afraid to look directly into his eyes knowing that she would fall for him again

But he refused to believe that for she was already in love with him and he brought his hand on her chin and slowly raised her head up.

The grandfather clock dinged loudly hitting the midnight hour and the whole house boomed with cheers and screams

Tommy and y/n smiled at each other knowing that this was the perfect way to start the year...by being in each others arms

"Happy new year y/n"he said and leaned forward kissing her lips.She closed her eyes and entangled her arms around his neck pushing him closer and kissed him back

The feeling was indescribable.His eyelashes ticked the skin of her cheek.She wanted more of him.The feeling was euphoria.It was better than any drug

Tommy softly pulled away,there lips making a soft sound.She opened her eyes slowly looking into his own.His eyes adored every feature of her face.Every freckle,every inch of her lips,her eyes,her nose he adored it all.

"Happy new year Tommy"she smiled.

"WELL THIS YEAR IS GONNA BE BLOODY AMAZING!"Arthur shouted raising his glass.The two turned to him to see the whole family watching them.Polly had her hand on her heart and Ada was leaning on Arthur smirking

"Oh give it a rest"Polly slapped his shoulder.Y/n went red and turned her head away.Tommy chuckled and covered her with his own body so that they won't see her and smiled looking down at her

"This year...I want you to stay with me forever"

"I'm promise I will"

Happy new year to all the readers out there.May god make this year a good one for u all LOTS OF LOVE!!!
