Keep Me in Your Thoughts (28)

Rhaelle and the rest of her family move along up the stairs to there spots in the box, she had thoros right arm and valaena had his left arm as they help him up the stairs. Valaena soon let go to take her place behind her mother and step-father, she sat between corwyn and aeron as baelor took a seat on the other side of the box with marra and their guards next to them.

Thoros was slowly lowered down by rhaelle before she took a seat next to him, she look over at the empty seat on her left making her wonder where daemon was. She hasn't seen him for a well, it feels like his hiding from her, but she knows that isn't true since he stills comes visits are during the night. But, he acts weird when they finish the act and talk to each other, he would avert his eyes whenever she brought up Xoro and Meleah acting weird around her or try to distract her with his lips when she bring up her nameday. She knows that daemon got something for her nameday, it was easy to get it out of meya when she notice that her daughter was acting weird too, but what she didn't know was what was this special surpise that daemon got her.

As if he knew rhaelle was talking about him, daemon talk from behind the wall and down the steps. She is brought out of her thoughts at the hush whispers and gasp that came from her daughter, rhaelle glance over to see daemon but her bright eyes turn to wide eyes at daemon new look.

"Your highness," Daemon bow his head at thoros who smile at him and doing the small slightly, daemon look over at rhaelle who gape at him like a fish put of water.

Daemon moves to down the path to his seat watching as rhaelle look at him shock, "My Queen." He purrs low for her ears only already sitting, he smirk at her as she tries to get words out.

"Your...Your hair? It's short...like really short." She said surpise moving her hand to play with a loose of short hair, daemon felt his whole body shiver with rhaelle's fingertips brushing his hair behind his ear and trailing it down to his cheek making him lean into her hand.

"Do you like it?" He ask in a whisper moving his eyes to glance into rhaelle's eyes, he was a bit skeptical when meleah mentioned doing something about his hair, it took him a while to walk up the stairs to the box afraid that rhaelle wouldn't like or like it too much.

Rhaelle smile at him as she drop her hands from his cheek to his hand squeezing it in comfort, "...I love it," she smile making daemon smile a bit, "But, I like your long her more." She said again making the small smile grow at her words.

"Thank you, my belove." Rhaelle gave a single nod before turning her attention to the stage when she heard the curtains open revealing Xoro, the candle light chandelier was illuminating the stage and xoro.

"Ladies and Gentlemen. Lords and Ladies from the East and West of the Serpent Isles. It gives me such pleasure to present to you all. A tale of love and tragedy a marvelous present to the queen from her significant other for her nameday." Xoro voice carried around the theater making the crowd clap as they turn their gaze to rhaelle, she stood smiling and waving at the people of her court before taking taking a seat.

"Without further of due I present my creation, 'The Tale of the Serpent Witch and the Dragon Prince', enjoy." Rhaelle clap along with the crowd as xoro bow with his arm held out before the curtains closed for a moment before reopening to reveal a brown skin woman with dark hair.

Daemon watch from the corner of his eyes as rhaelle sat forward to look below at the actress who was talking, he would look back and forth between the actors and rhaelle to read her face. Rhaelle giggle along with everyone when the serpent witch insulted the dragon prince, daemon smile hearing her laugh, ever time she does it was like music to his ears. Daemon look over the railing to the play below, he watches as the actors act out what he wanted xoro to put in the play. As the play goes on he glances at rhaelle from time to time to see her reaction at the scenes before her, he would laugh along with her and during one scene when the dragon prince brought the serpent witch a sheld necklace made of gold.

He felt rhaelle's hand on top of his own, he look at her as she look at the stage with a tender look. Daemon smile as he moves his hands to thread them with hers, rhaelle caress her thumb against the back of his hand with a light smile.

"I never imagine that I will ever find someone to make me feel the way Draco made me feel..."

The actress spoke looking at the audience with a somber look. The sea witch, Mira, greives the death of her lover, the dragon prince. After he founds out that his wife tricked him into believing that Mira curse their child, he sails to the end of the earth to find Mira only to be killed by his younger brother.

"...I always knew that the gods were unfair creatures, but it seems my belove made me believe that they weren't. Curse them."

"Curse the whore who called herself his wife. Curse his brother. Curse his kingdom. I curse them all for coming between us and causing me so much pain."

The Sea Witch hollers before she looking down with heartache.

"And curse my belove most of all for making me love him,"

"Curse you. And I love you. May we meet again in another life."

The curtains closed making the crowd rise with joyous as they applauded, many people in the box stood as well at the performance.

Daemon was one of the people in the box to stand and applaud, he looks behind him at valaena to find her standing up with a smile as she clap. She look at daemon giving him a wide smile and tilt of her head to gesture an congratulations, daemon return the smile and look forward again.

The curtains reopened with the cast and xoro in the middle, he bow with the others as the crowd scream for an encore.

Daemon retook his seat and look at rhaelle, she was lean back in her chair staring ahead with wet eyes. He look at her worried and concern, he knew the play would bring up some hidden memories from their time together back in the Red Keep. Maybe, it wasn't a good idea to do this maybe he should have stuck with his original plan.

"Rhaelle, are you okay?" Daemon whisper making rhaelle look at him, she nods with a small smile.

"Yes," he watch her as she wipe at her eyes and made sure she didn't have any tears on her cheek and neck.

"Are you sure?" She nod again before sniffing, the sound of baelor's voice stop daemon from consoling her.

"Mother, can we stay for the encore." Rhaelle forward to look at her son who look lean forward with marra as they look at her with pleading eyes.

"Of course, my dear." She said before standing up requesting an encore which made the crowd cheer.

Rhaelle sat back down after Xoro nod his head at her, she lean back before looking at her husband.

"How are you faring, husband?" Thoros look over at her with a smile.

"I am fine, wife. But, as much as I love the performance, i think I will call it a night." Rhaelle nod before standing up again making a guard come down to help thoros up.

"I will you like me to accompany you back to your chamber, my king." The guard ask making thoros shake his head as he lean on his cane.

"I rather have the young prince daemon accompany, if he does not mind." Rhaelle look at her husband with pinch brows before looking at daemon.

"Of course," A wave of uneasiness wash over rhaelle as she watch daemon stand up, the feeling wasn't towards daemon but to her husband.

She worries that thoros doesn't like daemon much, even though the two never talk but before he became bedridden. Thoros did not like Viserys and she fears that his dislike for daemon's brother would cast onto daemon himself, and she doesn't want that to happen not when things are starting to look up for her.

"Why don't I go with you instead, husband." Rhaelle says looking back at her husband, the older king shook his head and held out his hand for her.

"No,no, you stay and enjoy." He patted her hand before leaning in towards her making her ducking her head to hear him, " I promise I'll bring you him back intact." He jest low making rhaelle pull make with a small smile before nodding.

"Come along, rogue prince." The guard handed the king back his cane before taking daemon's arm.

Daemon look back at rhaelle with reassuring smike before turning back at his task, rhaelle sigh before taking a seat just in time for the curtains to open. As the actors begin to act, rhaelle thoughts were somewhere else.

Yuna's pov

Walking into my new restaurant felt like stepping into a dream; I never imagined I'd get this far. As I walked around my finished project, tears welled up in my eyes. I was so proud of myself because I did it not only for myself, but also for my children.

I walked to back to the kitchens and did a little happy dance before exiting the kitchen into my Office. I came to my desk, sat in my chair, and leaned back, grateful for what i had done for myself.

Growing up in Jamaica, I saw my parents work to the bone, and when we moved to London, the work didn't stop. Then, when we relocated to California to establish family business, we became stronger and our businesses grew.

My father established his own wine corporation in California, New York, and Washington. My mother owns two jewelry stores in California, and my sisters does photography. My brother is the corporation's CEO. My family has come so far, and I am so grateful for the opportunities we have been given.

I was so into my own little world that I didn't notice the person calling to me. I sat up, confused; there shouldn't be anyone in here. Because we aren't open yet, I won't have my grand opening until next week.

I stood up and began walking out my office, through the kitchen, and to the front door. And when I got to the front I smiled brightly.

And as I got closer to the lady, my smile faded, and it felt like my entire world was crashing down. She looked at me with tears in her eyes, covering her mouth and swallowing her sobs. I felt like I couldn't breathe, and everything around seemed to vanish.

My only focus was on the woman in front of me, but seeing her wasn't the worst part. The three men behind her had me feeling like I was seeing ghost. All Of Them was like I was looking at GHOST!! I clutched my stomach feeling like I was going to vomit.

The lady approached me slowly and cupped my cheeks, tears streaming down my face. She hiccuped as she sobbed and said something that I couldn't make out, I started to hyperventilate and my body began to shake. But I did hear one thing that came out her mouth, and it made everything stop again. "Yuna?" She said, and Just like my surroundings I stopped moving, took a staggering breath and blacked out.

Hi, could you do one for Tommy shelby on what it would be like on hid wedding day. Could it be black reader please 🤍

Every Time

Spencer peek through the clear glass window of the BAU looking for you, he slowly opened the door looking around as walks to his desk.

Spencer been avoiding you as of late, which is hard since you two work and travel together. The two of you been dating for a good six months, he is your first real relationship that you since you spend more time working than having an actual social life like the rest of your colleagues.

"Prentiss. Morgan. Gracia." Spencer came up to the trio standing near the coffee pot with mugs in their hands, they all mutter out a good morning to him as he came to stand in front of them.

"Are you alright, spence?" Prentiss ask watching him look around the office before back at them.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Look what I got." The three look at each other puzzled before watching Spencer dig in his bag and pull out an black medium square box, Penelope gasp putting her hand over her mouth as Emily stare at the box with wide eyes and Derek choked on his coffee.

"Reid, i-is that what I think it is?" Gracia ask with her hand on her chest looking at the box.

"Yeah," he smiled opening the box, "I got her a necklace for our six month anniversary," Gracia shoulders slump with a frown at the necklace inside.

"Why is it in a ring box?" Prentiss questions as they walk to their desk.

"No idea, but look..." he shove the box in their peripheral vision, "I had someone make a roman pendant of Salus, she was a roman goddess of safety and well-being as well as health, welfare, and prosperity. She is sometimes equated with the Greek goddess Hygieia, though their functions differ considerably."

Spencer discharged his messenger bag on his desk and lean against it as the trio pass it around to take a good look at it, Prentiss handed it back to Spencer making him look down at it with a smile.

"Must have cost a fortune." She said, Spencer shrugged his shoulders, it cost a lot but you were worth it.

"I like it. It's thoughtful." Penelope said with a smile looking at Reid.

"Thank you, I'm actually having a hard time contemplating when to give it to her," he said looking down at the box in his hand.

"Well, you better think quick because she's coming through the door now," Morgan said leaning bsck in his chair, Spencer look up to see you walking behind Rossi and Hotch looking at your phone with an coffee in your other hand.

"Okay, I'm doing it." Penelope gave him two thumbs up, Prentiss went to Derek's desk leaning against it.

"How much you wanna bet, the box is gonna be close when he gives it to her." Morgan grin muttering 'deal' before reaching into his pocket for his wallet, Prentiss smiles as she crossed her arms and look over at Spencer walking towards you.

You glance away from your phone to see reid coming towards you with his hands behind his back, you stop midway watching as he nod towards Rossi and Hotch.

"Hey, babe." You say as reid stop in front of you.

"Hey," he says back with a wide smile, he stares at you for a while making you narrow your eyes at him.

"What you got there?" You ask motioning towards whatever behind his back.

"Something special," He said swaying his body.

"You don't say," You bring the coffee cup to your lips and drain the rest of the sweet caffeine.

The group watch as reid remove his hands from his back and show you the box, your eyes widen and you choke on your coffee.

Prentiss grin in triumph as Morgan hand his head back in defeat, Reid patted your back as you cough. When you finally calm down and ask him why he haves that he chuckles and opens it up to show you the necklace inside.

"My gift to you," he said taking the necklace out and moving around to go behind you, you felt the cool medal against around your neck and against your chest.

"Spence, I love it, but..." You say looking at the necklace of the Roman goddess, Salus, the only reason you know who it is is because your fan of roman and Greek mythology, "Whats the occasion." You ask walking ahead of him to throw away your coffee cup.

"It's june." He says, you furrow your bows slightly as you open the fridge and grab a water bottle that you left a day prior.

"Okay," You say bit confuse as you twist the cap from the bottle as you face reid, he frown and then told you it was also the seventeenth.

"Hmm." You walk by him making him follow after you to your desk, you took a gulp from the water before putting it on the desk and removing your coat.

When you look back at Spencer, your brows deepen when you see him staring at you with his hurt puppy dog eyes and small frown.

"What?" You watch as he clench his jaw and look at you.

"It's june 17." He sigh making you shrug your shoulder and look over at the group as they watch with frowns before looking back at him.

"You said that and I still don't..." you stop and blink at him, "oh, crap." You screw close your eyes and curse yourself.

"Yeah," he crossed his arms, you open your eyes and look at him.

"Spence–" you cut off by hotch's door, you all look over at him as he held up a file before making his way to the conference room.

The others grab their things and made their way up to the room, you look back at Spencer as he was already stating at you.

"We can deal with this later." You said before walking away up the stairs, Spencer sigh looking down at the box.

He walk over to the trash can next to your chair and threw it in before going to work.

🎁

You wring out your arms and move your stiff neck side to side, the plan ride was a bitch especially since you didn't have your favorite pillow sitting next to you. You and the rest walked into the office around ten thirty, thank god it was one of those days where nobody got hurt, you move to your desk and grab your coat. You look down and see the box that the necklace was in, you move away and follow out the rest of the team to the elevators.

You and Spence wave to Penelope and Derek as they walk to their cars, you turn away from them to see Spencer walking to your car making you roll your eyes and jog after him.

"Hey, you wanna come back to my place, we can order out. " you say when you drop into the driver's seat, you look at Spence as he let out a yawn that sounded a bit fake and rub his eyes.

"I think I'm just gonna go home, and call it a night." he say leaning back into the seat.

"You can sleep at my place," he shook his head.

"None of my work clothes are at your place, and I really do not want to wake up early to drive across town to get ready, so yeah."

"Tommow our day off." You said as you start the car, reid fold his arms and lean against the car door.

"You can remember that but not our anniversary," you look at reid as pretends to sleep making you shake your head and pull out of your parking spot.

The drive was spent in silence with only the jazz station playing in the background, you tried to change to something a little bit more beat but reid would always smack your hand away. You thought he was suppose to be asleep but you guess his mad enough to wake up and slap your hand away from the dials, you pull into a parking spot and cut off the car making you unbuckle your seatbelt.

Reid opened his eyes and look out the window before sitting up and looking at the familiar setting through the windowshield.

"This isn't my apartment building." He said.

"Get out of the car, Spencer." You pull the key out and into your left pocket.

"You know I can hot wire your car, right?" Your door was open when you look at reid.

"You know I have a gun, right?" You said back making reid grumble under his breathe and unbuckle his seatbealt, you got out and wait for Spencer to do the same.

You walk up the stairs to your flat as reid stand couple feet behind you brooding.

"You know this is consider kidnapping, you forcing me to be here is kidnapping." He said as he stood behind you making you sigh as you dig in your pocket for your keys.

"Reid, I know I screwed up, but maybe we can still salvage the rest of our anniversary with a dinner and a movie." You say finally finding the key and putting it in the keyhole.

"No, thanks. I rather just go to bed and forget this entire day ever..." Spencer trailed off when you turn on the lights, he stood in the archway in awe at your flat.

There were red strings everywhere with red balloons all over the floor and roses that painted the couch, you grab reid's hand pulling in before shutting the door as he move further into the apartment. He looked into your kitchen and say a small white cake with red writing on it say 'happy anniversary spency', along with a couple more floating balloons just hooving there.

"HM6SA?" He said looking at the floating purple letters and number.

"Happy 6 Month Anniversary, Spence." You said, Reid turn around to look at you as you smile at him, you laugh when he march over to you and engulf you in a hug.

"Your the worst." He said.

"And yet your still here, so I can't be that bad." You giggle again as you rock him in your arms, "And, hey, I still got some more stuff up my sleeve," You said pulling away and going over to your drawer near the stove and taking out your gift, you walk up to him and held out a rectangular box for hin to take.

"Hmmm, by the length and width of the box, along with the perfect wrap wrapping paper around it–"

"Open the present before I fling it into the trash can and really ruin our anniversary," Spencer brows bounce before he took the gift and unwrap it making you watch anxious, you look at his reaction as he open the box.

"I didn't know what to get you, so I saw this cool thing that gracia sent me on pinterest a well back and thought of you." Spence look at the bracelet in the box that were suppose to be the eight planets of the solar system, he look up at you with a small smile.

"This is the best gift you could have ever given me," You glance away with smile feeling a bit bashful, he ask you to help him put it on and you did just that before getting up on your tippy toes to give him a peck on his lips.

"Happy Anniversary, babe." He smile.

"Happy Anniversary."

Dance to a Different Tune

The sound of the alarm clock woke you making you slam your hand against it to shut it off but that didn't get you to get out of bed just yet, the big bear you called a husband next to you shuffled in bed as he leans over to you and pressed multiple kisses on your back and shoulder just waking up.

"Morning, pet." He whispered before kissing your cheek, the smile that spread across your face made you crack one eye open and turn your head slightly to kiss his lips.

"Morning." Alfie patted your butt before getting out of bed and heading towards the bathroom, you closed your eyes again trying to go back to sleep before being force to get up soon.

You listened out hearing the toilet flushing and the sink turning on and off made you continue relaxing, she heard alfie grunt as he walked out of the bathroom and back to bed she perked up as he pulled her into him by her waist.

"Shouldn't you be getting ready for work?" She asked.

"I'm the boss. I'll get there when I choose to." She chuckled lowly as she felt him melts into her, she sighed in bliss she loved mornings like these with alfie where they just laid there not saying a word just melting into each other. It's crazy how life turned out for her one minute shes' fucking men for money now she's working in her own bakery and married to camden most notorious gangster, a life she never imagined having but here she was with him enjoying this beautiful quiet morning.

The voice of their oldest daughter, Dinah voice boomed through out the room causing both alfie and you to cringe as more footsteps ran down the hall to your room.

"Mama! Papa! I want pancakes."

"And I want bacon and eggs."

The shouts of the twins made you bury your face into your pillow as you just wanted quiet morning little bit longer, she sat up hearing a painful grunt coming from alfie seeing the little boy and girl crawling on their father's back before sliding off to get into my lap.

"Alf? You okay, babe." His face was buried in his pillow muffling his words, "what?" she says leaning closer to him.

"...fuckin peachy." He grunts out making her give him a small mock pout as she rubbed his back, he twisted onto his back before huffing like a bear he is and looking up at the ceiling as she put ella and david on the bed.

"Do you want me to do that thing that help with the pain?" She asked getting out of bed and going to his side, he looked at her up and down slowly before a small grin made its way onto his face as dirty thoughts ran through his head.

"Oh, darlin not with the kids around." He mutters making you glare at him with a small smile.

"...you guys are gross." Dinah says disgusted before walking out of the room, alfie's index finger trailed its way slowly against your warm thigh making you slap it away gently.

"Stop that," She whispered rolling her eyes when alfie laugh.

"What? We could start on baby number 6." He grins slowly sitting up making me back up a bit.

"Let the one brewing in my belly form first before we start talking about baby number 6." I watched him get off the bed before looking down at her with his hands on her hips.

"I told you when I married ya I wanted a litter of them, didnt i." I let out a mocked laughed making him give her a toothy grin.

"Not that I could recall." I say as him massage my hips, the twins throw their arm around alfie's shoulder as he got up making them giggle as they cling to the man.

"Why don't you take the munchkins to get ready for the day, well I wake the beast from his cave." Alfie nodded giving me a peck before you moved to kiss the twins on their cheeks.

They walked out of the room with you watching as alfie held both twins over his shoulder to the their room well you walk to your oldest, I knocked before peaking my head insides my son's room to found him still asleep, I smiled a little as I make my way inside and take a seat on the edge of his bed. I ran my hand through his silk brown hair stirring him, he turned towards me with his face against his pillow as he crack open one eye.

"What time is it?" He croaked out.

"A little before seven fifty." He groaned as he closed his eyes again.

"...give me five more minutes." He mutters drifting back to sleep, I moved my hand from his hair making him frown a little.

"Okayyyy, but I have to warn you, your father is making pancakes." I song getting up he groaned knowing that if he didn't get down stairs before his father finish cooking he only be left with scraps of bacon and sausage.

"...I'll be down in a minute." He sighed pulling the covers over his head, I giggled before walking out and going back to my room to get dress for the day.

I finished doing my hair with the curling iron before sliding on my black step in pumps, I looked in the mirror one last time as I fix my black bow brooch tie before walking out. I saw that Joseph's room door was left opened i looked inside not seeing him, I closed the door before making my wsy downstairs with the rest of the family.

"Good morning, family." I said walking over to the coffee pot on the stove, my childern spoke over each other as they wish me a good morning. A hand went to my waist as I pulled out a coffee cup and sat it down next to the stove, Alf got a cup from the same cabinet placing it next to my mug waiting for me to pour him some coffee.

"I saved ya a plate." He said lifting the plate from behind his back towards me making me smile in appreciation.

"Ah, thank you, my love." I took the plate of his hand and laid it on the island behind us, he was press to my side like a fly on honey staring at me.

"Can I help you, Mr. Solomon." I asked lifting the mug to my lips taking a sip as I look at him.

"Nope just waiting for my thank you kiss." I raised my brow at the man.

"Thank you kiss?" I asked, he nodded as his hand on my waist made me come closer as his hip leaned against the counter.

"Yea, I basically had to beat those heathens off with a stick to save ya food, I think I deserve a little kiss don't ya think." He said tilting his head to the side with a grin making me smile behind my mug as I thought about it, I held my mug as I set on the counter before leaning in with alfie doing the same and brush my lips against his only for a second.

"...mwah, there you go, happy." I smiled at him as he narrow his eyes at me.

"What was that?"

"That was a kiss." He scoffed.

"You called that a kiss?" He asked crossing his arms.

"You said you wanted a little kiss, so I gave you a little kiss." I shrugged before turning towards my plate of food.

"Don't play, (y/n). Give me a real kiss." I rolled my eyes as I put down my half eaten bacon and turned back to my husband who had his arms open for me, I stepped into his hold putting my arms around his neck and giving him his kiss. A large gasped left my lips when alfie dipped me making one arms go around my waist and one if his hands to take hold my butt making me smile against his lips, his lips moved away from my lips to my neck causing me to laugh loudly as he bites and suck on my neck where I'm ticklish.

"Mum! Dad! The bus is here. " Joseph call out, making alfie pull me straight up I smiled widely at him as I slap his chest for that stunt he pulled causing him to laugh whole heartily. Alfie followed behind me with coffee in hand as we walked Joseph and Dinah outside where the bus came up in front of house, we peppered them with kisses before letting go and watching them ran up to the bus and get in I waved one last time as the bus drove away before reaching in my skirt pocket and taking out the car keys that I brought myself a long time ago.

"I'll see you after work, my beloved." I said as Alfie walked me and the kids to the car.

"See ya after work....you two be good for your mum, now." Alfie says before binding down as the twins nodded planting kisses on his cheek as they hug him making me smile.

"I love you." I said when he stood up straight making him look at me starstruck as if I never said those three words to him before every morning.

"I love you too, lovely." I unlock the door and buckle the twins in with alfie help before Alf opened my door. I took his hand as I got into the drivers seat he shut the door before leaning his head in kissing my lips for a minute.

"...have a safe drive." He whispered pulling away a bit to look into my eyes.

"I will...," he smile but I could see he was still a bit worried that I didn't have his men to drive me, but I made it clear long ago that I could take it with his men being at the bakery but to drive me around was too much. He nod before he patted the roof of the car as I put the key in the ignition, the kids bid their dad a goodbye as I started to pull out of the drive way he waved as he stood in his same spot. I smiled at him one last time before driving down the road of our street to the bakery.

Ella and David sat in one of the four tables in the shop drawing when I was talking to a customer, I slide the pie towards to the woman with a smile as she thanked me and walked out. I looked over at the time seeing it was almost time for the kids to get out of school, my head turned to the swinging doors where Rosie came out with more fresh bake goods.

"Hey, I got a new batch and there a man in the back that need you to sign some papers." She said putting the cookies in the bakery case.

"Alright, I'll be back." I wrapped my hands on my apron before going to the back and walking past my two other employees, the man turned with a clipboard I smiled at the familiar face and take the pen out of his hand as I sighed my signature on my supplies.

"Thanks, Mrs. Solomon. See you next week. " He tipped his hat towards me.

"See you next week, simon." I smiled as his men put the bag of flour in their usual spot as I go back in the front of the shop, as I walked out of the back dinah and joe walked through the door.

"Hey, how was school." I asked walking up to them and give me a hug.

"Great! My teacher was out so we didn't have to take her test today." Joe said happy as he walked behind the counter with his sister sitting down their backpack.

"Luck you."

"I know right." He said with wide smile making his sister roll her eyes.

"And that's wasn't the best part of the day, a boy in my class got in a fight with a kid a year above us and he won. It was unbelievable." He said ecstatic.

"Well, it's good to see you a great day, how about you dinah how was your day." I asked looking at the little girl who took tied her hair in the back before putting on her apron.

"It was alright I got a A on my science test and got the part of wendy in the peter pan play." I squeal pulling her in a hug.

"I always knew you could do it, baby." I kissed the top of her head still holding her, "I can't wait for all of us to go watch it." Joe groaned.

"Do we all have to–"

"Yes." I cut him off making him scrowl softly, as I let her go the bell to my shop ring.

"Welcome to Lovelie's Bakery, what can I–" I turned towards the door before stopping and seeing who it was.

"I knew it was you, you haven't change a bit." I looked at the person speechless.

"Mum? Who is that?" Joseph asked making the lady look at her son, I could see the gears in her head as she study my son and daughter who was next to me.

"She's...she's um..." I couldn't come up with words to tell my son.

"I'm an old friend...she and my husband were old acquaintances, isn't that right?" Lizzie asked looking at me with a wry look making me roll my eyes.

"Hey, Rosie. Can you take the kids in the back and get started on the cookies." I asked my friend she looked at the woman and back at me nodding as she walked over to the twin.

"Come on, guys. Let make some Christmas cookies." I watched as they shouted in excitement and drag her to the doors, dinah followed right behind leaving Joe to still stand by my side. I put a hand on his back making him look at me.

"I'll be fine, go." I motion to the door with my head making him glance at the woman and nod before walking in the back as I watched.

"Their beautiful...the boy looks like his father." My eyes snapped back to her with a vacant look.

"How old is he? He looks like he a bit younger than charlie–" lizzie looked taken back when I cut her off.

"What the hell are you doing here." I asked coming from behind the counter and standing in front of her.

"I was in the area and thought I could go for a cookie." I scrowl taking a step closer to her as she taunt me.

"It's really not a good idea to mock the wife of a gangster in his territory." I glared as she put her hands up.

"I didn't come in here to fight." I scoffed crossing my arms.

"Then why are you here." I asked impatient, she shrugged sighing before moving some hair out of her face.

"I don't know I saw you from across the way and then I saw your kids, and I just–I guess wanted to see if any of them belong to Tommy. " She said.

"Lucky for you and me, none of them are, so." I held up my arm up motioning towards the door.

"How could you be sure?" She asked stepping closer making me look her up and down.

"His still cheating on you." I stated she didn't say anything making me sigh.

" I haven't seen Tommy or been to small heath in over seven years, and I'm not the type of woman to cheat on my man." I let my arms fall to my side, lizzie nodded looking down onto the floor.

"You know you were his favorite. After Grace, he somehow found his way to you and he found you special, why?..." She asked looking up at me I didn't notice earlier but a bit of her mascara was smudge under her eyes as if she was crying earlier today, I wiped my face looking over at the doors behind me before turning back to her.

"Ask him. I let you overstay your welcome long enough, now leave." I turned to walk away when I felt her hand wrap around my forearm.

"This will not last your perfect life...he will get bored they eventually do, and hopefully you feel the same heartache and misery you caused me." I snapped my arm out of her grip and glared at her.

"Let go of me before your husband found your body floating in the–" I shut my mouth when the door creaked.

"Mum? Eveything's alright." Joseph asked.

"Yea, my old friend was just leaving." I turned back to lizzie with a agitated smile, she gave a tight lipped one back before backing up and leaving out of the shop, i huffed rubbing my head before turning and stirring my son back to the kitchen.

When I got home I didn't tell Alf about the visit from mrs.shelby, neither did the kids especially since they could tell that something wasn't right when I came back into the kitchen. Even though i know lizzie was chatting shit it still planted a seed of doubt in me I know Alf and I know he loves me, but his eyes likes to wonder to other woman when we go out and we always laugh about it when I catch him. It's our thing. I trust alfie and he trust me. That what makes our marriage work.

"We be back around midnight." I told Ollie, he nods as he followed me around the house as I told him what the kids can and can not have well we're away.

"If they get hungry we have left over meatloaf in the oven." Alfie was already in the car waiting, I turned over to the sitting room to see the kids lounging.

"Alright." He said as I kept looking at them, alfie was invited to this function by one of his associates and brought me along to distract from boring rich people talk.

" You don't have to worry (y/n), they in safe hands." I turned to Ollie giving him a sweet smile.

"I know they are." I squeezed his arm before stepping closer to the living room.

"I'm going...be good for Ollie, alright." They mumbled a yes before going back to what they were doing before entered the room, I rolled my eyes smiling one more time at Ollie before walking out to the car.

"I don't think asking Ollie to watch the kids was a good idea, you know the twins can smell weakness." I giggled as I link my hand to alfie free one, we were driving out of london to the countryside.

"That's why I told Rosie to drop by when she close the shop to make sure everything's okay." Alfie shook his head.

"...still playing cupid I see." I shrugged a little before looking out the window.

"She likes him and he likes her, I don't see the harm in interfering." She heard alfie snort, we stayed quiet as the music on the radio played through the car, after an hour and half we finally pulled up to a nice-looking mansion.

"...rich pricks." I heard alfie whispered as he tried founding a space to park the car, he got out swiftly before opening my door i smiled at him as he grabbed my hand helping me out. I hook my arm around his own and started walking up the steps the door was opened by an old white man, he stepped aside letting us in as people stood around mingling.

"Remember we only here to show face and get the hell out, okay?" I nodded as I took a glass from a tray before drinking it, the night was spent being pulled left to right by alfie as associates of his introduced him to their friends. I was on my sixth glass when we were brought to the drawing room, a bunch of people was standing near the fireplace when we came up to them.

"Alfie this is Oswald and his wife diana...." I looked up and see a man with mustache standing straight as if he as a stick up his ass, he bend his head down a bit greeting.

"How do you do." He said, he glanced over to me for a second before looking away, I didn't take no offense I know how his kind is. Alfie nod back not saying a word.

"...and you already know Mr. Shelby and his wife." I turned my head a bit looking for a waiter, I wasn't going to pay them no mind especially Thomas I just hoped that his whore kepts a muzzle on about what happened–.

"Hello, (y/n). It's good to see you again." Lizzie said, I look at her giving her a quick smile before looking away.

"How the kids?" She asked, I could feel alfie's eyes burning the side of my head.

"Their fine." I said again, I smiled again when the waiter took my empty glass and gave me new one.

"That's good maybe we could do a little play date with the–" I gave her a uninterested look as alfie spoke up.

"Hold on, now darling. When did you two..." he waved a finger between me and lizzie, "...meet?" He asked looking at me, I let out a nervous laugh shrugging.

"Oh, that it was weeks ago." He narrowed his eyes at me before glancing over at Thomas who was watching us.

"Did you know anything about this?" Thomas took the cigarette out of his mouth.

"Lizzie mentioned it." I rolled my eyes as I downed my drink.

"Funny. Because me own wife didnt." He said.

"It slipped my mind." I refrained myself as the others were watching us, I could tell that lizzie was eating this up so I calmed myself down and grabbed his hand so he could do the same.

"Alfie let's talk about this later." I whispered looking him in the eye trying to get him to see that I didn't want to argue, but he wanst having it.

"I think I want to talk about it now." He said gruffly, I gave him a look as he glared at me.

"Alfie–" I stressed glancing at the prying eyes.

"What? Am I embarrassing you in front of your little boyfriend." He said heated, I looked at him eyes widen in shock.

"You know what..." I let out a deep breathe, " I can't talk to you when your like this so I'm going to the restroom." I grabbing my clutch from the table.

"Come found me when your in the right head space, okay, Alfred." I glowered walking past him and away from the group, after taking a break and hiding out in the bathroom for a good twelve minutes I think that gave me and alfie enough time to gather ourself. I was finishing wiping my hands with the towel when someone knocked on the door I walked over thinking it was alfie

"Hello." I furrowed seeing oswald mosley standing at the door.

" Mr. Mosley–" he cut me off with a wave of his hand.

"Call me Oswald." I looked over his shoulder for anyone as he made me back up back into the bathroom I watch him shut the door.

"You know when lizzie told me you used to be a whore, I couldn't help but be intrigued..." I watched him closely as he walked closer to me.

"I never been with a woman of your complexion before I always heard your kind tasted divine," he said undressing me with his eyes, a bit of bile came up making me gag mentally.

"Whatever that gutter trash told you I don't do that anymore." I shut down.

"Not even for the right amount of cash, you know I have it. Especially with how my political party is going." He said proudful.

"I rather eat glass and I didn't take you for a man with taste." He chuckled at my comment with a small smile.

"And why is that?" I shrugged as I walked around him.

"Well, I heard from the grapevine that you like to keep it in the family, mr.mosley." He face turned sour causing me smile innocent at him.

"Rumors." He rolled his eyes.

"Of course, they are..." I said patronizing, before he could grab hold of me I clocked him in the nose causing him to fall to the ground.

"You have balls I can give you that, but let this be a lesson to you." I said throwing down the towel I was once holding on the floor near him for his bloody nose.

"Never corner a women like this ever again." He was slowly getting up when I landed a kick to his stomach causing him groan again and collapse back to the ground.

"Oh, yeah one more thing...your cause is shit." I turned on my heels and threw open the door and stalked out leaving that pathetic excuse of a man in agony.

I was looking in my clutch when I ran into Tommy, he held my arms to keep me from stumbling.

"Where's the fire?" He asked glancing at me, I shrugged his hands off me and walked around him.

"Will you fuck off." I hissed at Tommy as he blocked my way, "It's bad enough I was drooled on my a fascist pig, I don't want to be around you of all people right now." He looked taken back at me.

"Are you okay?" He asked looking at me.

"I'm good but your friend on the other hand is not." I pushed my hair over my shoulder.

"His not my friend."

"Whatever. I need to find alfie." He still didn't move making me glare at him.

"Seriously, shelby you need to get out of my way." I snapped growing impatient.

"Did you know how much it cost to get you out of there..." he asked, I gave him a blank look as the though of punching him was playing on my mind.

"Is that a rhetorical question orrr..."

"Alfie gave me thirty percent of his business to me, plus the rest of money you had to pay your debt." He says, I blinked at him taking in his words.

"I guess he knew I wasn't going to let you go so easy so he sweeten the pot, he choose you over his business." I looked up at Tommy hoping to detect if he was lying but he wasn't.

"I need to go."I whispered before pushing past him he grabbed my wrist and making me look at him again.

"Before you find alfie you should know something..." he said.

"What?"

"His drawn to you. His faithful. He loves you." I looked down at the floor.

"How would you know. You and alfie don't seem like the type to talk about those sort of stuff during business hours." I said.

"We don't, but i can see it when he walked in with you and how he held you by his side the whole night. It's exactly how I was with my grace." He said letting go of my wrist before walking away, I let his words sit with me a bit before walking to find my husband.

After a well, I found him outside looking into our car, "Alfie? What you doing." I asked walking over to him, he turned sighing meeting me half way pulling me into a tight hug.

"...fucking looking for you." He said pulling away.

"I told you I was in the bathroom." He rolled his eyes.

"You never told me which fucking bathroom I comb through this entire fucking house looking for you." He looked angry but happy to see me alright.

"I'm sorry." I apologized, he shook his head putting his hands on my waist.

"Don't apologized, pet. If I wasn't so hot-headed you wouldn't have run off in the first place." My hand palm was against his cheek as my thumb caressed his cheek.

"No, you had every right to be mad I should have told you about her visiting me, I knew it was wrong keeping it from you. She got to me." I whispered the last bit.

"Is she still getting to you." He asked, I shook my head.

"No not anymore." I smiled up at him, he smiled back.

"Let's go home. It starting to smell like cow shit, i dont know how these rich pricks could live out here." I laughed as alfie pulled me to his side before I climbed in through the driver's seat.

"I don't know, Alf. I think the country side is a great place to raised a family of six and counting." I grinned looking over at him.

"...let the one brewing in ya stomach grow first before we start thinking about moving, ya."
