The Gypsy Beauty

They're Back.

Scarlett's POV

"Finn, slow down!" I tell the youngest Shelby brother as we walk into the train station. We had gotten a letter saying the boys are coming home today as we've all been anxiously but excitedly waiting. "Sis, they're there!" Finn shouts as he runs to his brothers.

I smile when I see John, Tommy and Arthur. Finn runs into Johns arms as Arthur looks up and sees me. A huge grin spreads across his face as he spreads his arms. "There she is. My Scar." He says as I wrap my arms around him, smiling widely. "I've missed you." He whispers to me as I pull back. "I've missed you too." I tell him as he looks me over, nudging my chin affectionately.

Ada and Polly come over to us, hugging Arthur as I turn to John, who's already looking at me. "There's my girl. Come here, beautiful." He says, smirking as I wrap my arms around him, feeling him kissing my neck as he holds me tight to him. "Fuck, I've missed you." He groans before we pull back. "I've missed you." I tell him as we stare at each other.

"John." Polly says, breaking our stare as I turn around and see Tommy, already looking me at with a smile. A wide smile comes onto my face as I wrap my arms around his neck, as his arms wrap around my waist, squeezing me tightly. "Hi, my love." He whispers to me, pecking my cheek before we pull away. "Hi." I whisper back.

"Hello, Tommy." Ada says as I step away, Arthur wrapping his arm around my shoulder. "How the hell are you so beautiful? Boys, hasn't she gotten even more beautiful?" He says to Tommy and John, who nod agreeing with him. "I didn't think she could get any more beautiful." John says, winking at me as I smirk.

"Oh, you boys always know how to flatter me." I say making Arthur chuckle. "Well, it's the truth, doll." He says. "She is beautiful but you should see her in the ring. She's definitely a Peaky Blinder. She puts you boys to shame." Polly says, smirking as the boys look at me shocked. "You've been fighting without us?" They all ask me.

"She's amazing! Always takes them down like pow! Pow! They're done!" Finn says as I chuckle, walking away with the young Shelby boy. "Who let her fight?!" They all ask as I smirk. Answer...I run the ring now.

Johns POV

I've always been in love with Letty but I always thought she wasn't which is why I was with Martha. Letty was always talking to other boys at school and I thought she was more interested in them than me. Until one day, we were both home by ourselves and we just happened. Both confessing we were in love with each other and for the same reason, we both thought the other wasn't in love.

I've missed Letty more than anyone. Not hearing her laughter or hearing her talk to me. I've missed laying in bed with her and waking up with my arms wrapped around her. I missed seeing her beautiful smile or her cheeky grin. I've missed holding her hand and the smell of her perfume. I've missed my girl more than anything.

And boy, have I missed touching her. Spending nights alone in the trenches with nothing but my hand to please me, didn't even come close to feeling Letty's soft skin on mine. The letters the two of us sent each other didn't satisfy me, nor did the memories of us together. I was desperate to touch Letty, ever since I stepped of the train.

"Arthur was right, you know." I say to Letty as we sit in the back room of the Garrison, having our own time. "About what?" She asks lowly as my hand trails up her thigh, hiking her dress up. "About you being more beautiful." I say as her cheeks blush lightly.
