I finally gotten round to writing this chapter sorry for the wait. It's the first time I've done it like this properly so I'm not sure about it. Most of it is dialogue from the script Gangster but near the end there's a couple of bits that I've added in. This is probably more of a what are they thinking about during this part. Enjoy and let me know what you think.

"So your just going to parade around the flat doing a catwalk in clothes Al Capone's making you wear, are you?" He was jealous. Really jealous. He wished he could afford to buy Lucy expensive gifts but he couldn't. He was working on it though. Trying to find a better job than being an ice cream man but he was getting nowhere.

"He's not making me wear anything," Lucy defended. She had her own rights and it was her decision on what she wore and everything else for that matter.

Lucy could tell Lee felt a bit put out but she was working on telling Guy that it was over but then he walked in and said that he'd booked secret holiday and she couldn't say no and in front of Lee. Guy was going to kill them both when he found out. Maybe he'd booked the holiday because he felt guilty about Thailand but she really didn't want to go.

Sighing Lucy pulled out the next item out of the bag and she could feel Lee's eyes light up slightly.

"Actually, what do I know. I'll go and choose some music," he exclaimed as Lucy smirked. Maybe she could make it up to him a bit.

"Go on then. I'll be there in five," Lucy had to laugh as Lee's face lit up and as he scampered away from her.

NGONGONGO

"C'mon Tim come with me. I'm just trying to protect Lucy," he really was. Lee didn't want anything to happen to her. He couldn't take that risk. He loved her.

NGONGONGO

"Hello," Lee said quietly as he and Tim entered Guy's office. The desk chair had it's back to them. There was a gun like sound and they both jumped.

"If anybody moves, I'll kill ya. What have I done to make you treat me so…disrespectfully?" Said a husky voice on the seat before Lucy turned around with a hat and hole punch. He was going to get her back for that later.

"How did you know we were here?" Tim questioned as Lee ducked his head.

"I heard you," Lucy admitted as Lee blushed. She was hiding in his wardrobe when Tim had gone over to talk to him.

"We were whispering," they were because Tim was scared Lucy would hear through the door but even the whispering was loud enough to make it through the wood of the wardrobe.

And who taught you to do that? Ian Paisley! So you're not letting this gangster thing go then?" Of course Lee wasn't going to let this go. He was only trying to look after her.

Deciding to get a little dig in for scaring him earlier he said, "If we're going to talk about this properly at least take the rest of the tissue out of your mouth."

Lucy answered with a slight sense of disbelief in her tone, "I have."

"Oh. So where's Guy?"

"He popped down to the stables to measure some heads for your beds," she may as well scare them some more whilst she as at it. Plus it was payback for what Lee said. It was only teasing but she couldn't resist the little digs. It's what made them 'them.'

"Yeah laugh it up. You wouldn't be laughing if you had seen what I saw this morning," and he wasn't on about what they both saw that morning and he knew the retort Lucy had lined up and he couldn't say what he wanted to because Tim was there.

"I bet I would," and there it was.

Making his point clearer lee answered with a slight tone of worry in his voice,"Guy receiving a package in the back alley. And he was looking round suspiciously."

"Well he would."

"Oh hi. This is a pleasant surprise. And Lee as well," Guy exclaimed as he entered and Lee had to roll his eyes and glare at him a bit.

"Just came round for a bit of advice, actually. I need to send a package that's quite urgent," he said making something up on the spot as Lucy kept her eyes trained on him.

"Cashier number five, please," again she couldn't resist.

"Yeah that's right it isn't a post office, Lee – it's a lap – dancing club," Guy backed up as Lee seethed.

"Sex booth number five, please. It's just saw you having a package delivered. I'm guessing that was a courier service," Tim added helping him out a bit.

"No. That was Jerry my driver. He was just dropping off my passport for this weekend."

"Passport?"

"Yeah. It's a bit like you Blockbusters membership card but you get to go abroad," Lee didn't like him that much anyway but that sarcastic comment really made Lee dislike him.

"Anyway, I'll show you both out," Lucy decided to interject as she got up off of the seat adding,"Aren't there a couple of lollipop ladies you need to harass over a suspected dinner money racket?"

"So what exactly are you planning this weekend?" He needed to know.

"It's a secret. I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you," and with that Lee bolted for the door.

Once outside Lucy was waiting for him by the door frame,"Tim's gone out to get the car. I said I'd wait for you so you wouldn't get into anymore trouble," she explained as Lee nodded his head. He could see her point.

"You're not really going on holiday with him, are you?" Lee questioned desperately as they rounded the corner. Grabbing his hand and giving it a quick squeeze she answered him.

"Of course not. I'll tell him. I promise," and Lee hoped she'd keep to it.

"Wow! This one looks…cruise-shippy! I'm sorry, I'm not sure about it," she hated the dress.

She had to sigh when Guy replied, "Don't be silly, you look amazing, Lucy! It'll go great with the necklace." He could be so...controlling.

"Oh, yeah, the necklace," truth was she completely forgot about the necklace, anymore sparkles and she'd look like a disco ball,"Sorry about Lee. He's never met people before."

"Oh, it's ok. It's not your fault he fancies you and is insanely jealous."

Huffing in pretence and turning back around to face the mirror Lucy answered,"Don't be ridiculous. There are only two objects of Lee's affections, and they're both attached to Fern Britton," not actually true but she couldn't break up with him now. Not when she was alone in the flat with him. "Actually talking about the necklace, it's a really lovely thought, but don't you think all the sapphires, there's a danger it might make me look a bit…" She really didn't want the necklace.

"What?"

"Bling-bling," she tried to explain in simple terms.

"I don't see how wearing a necklace can make you look like a panda," what was she thinking when she decided to go out with him? "No, it'll look fantastic on you, especially with that dress."

"So it looks like I'm wearing it, then," she wasn't going to get out of this unless she broke up with him but now wasn't the right time. Frustrated with herself and Guy she made an exit for her bedroom. Lucy had to explain to him what she meant by bling-bling,"Actually erm…bling-bling's a rap thing, by the way."

"I know, it was a joke – I may be ancient but I have heard of 50 pence," seriously what was she thinking?

"So you not going to go after her?" Barbara questioned as she sat down next to Lee on the sofa who had his head in his hands. Tim was in the kitchen pacing back and forth to take his mind off of everything.

"What's the point? She clearly chooses Guy. Why would she want to stay with a lay about who's got hardly any money?" He sighed, willing himself not to cry.

"The point is you love her and she loves you...might have accidentally...opened her diary and read it but she does love you. Just with the holiday she hasn't found the right time to break up with Guy," Barbara explained as Lee's head shot up.

"She loves me?" That he couldn't get over. How could someone like Lucy love him?

"One hundred percent."

"Tim c'mon we're going to the airport!" Lee shouted as Tim bolted out the door. He'd obviously been waiting for Lee to say that, "thank you."

"I'm good for something," Barbara said with a flip of her hair. And with a roll of his eyes Lee grabbed his jacket and followed Tim out.

NGONGONGO

"Hang on," Lee exclaimed as he and Tim stood in front of Lucy and Guy.

Lucy looked relieved and happy and Guy...a Guy just looked pissed off. Winking secretly at Lee he knew Lucy was going to play along for now. So the conversation went ahead with Lucy hardly saying anything. Then Lee's heart jumped in his throat as Guy got down on one knee.

"Will you marry me?" Flipping his head back and forth between the pair he had to interject. He couldn't lose her. Not now.

"Alright, maybe he's not a gangster, but he's still not right for you, Lucy. You're an independent woman with independent thoughts; you don't need some man making decisions for you," Lucy's eyes had been constantly trained on him throughout the speech and she looked sorry. "So tell him you'll say no," maybe she'd listen to him.

NGONGONGO

She'd actually left. Lucy had actually left with Guy. Barbara was obviously wrong then. Falling back on to the sofa Lee leant his elbows on his knees and sighed. He should have known Lucy would have picked Guy. Inwardly groaning as the door opened again, he assumed it was Barbara.

"Hello," Lucy sighed as Lee's head snapped up to see Lucy making her way towards him. A small relieved smile on her face but she was still unhappy.

"What are you doing here? Thought you's be in Sicily," he honestly did think she'd have gotten on the plane and gone with Guy.

"I was never going to leave you," Lucy replied automatically as her hand went to his knee, Lee placing his on top of hers, interlacing their fingers.

"Does he know?" Lee questioned as Lucy nodded her head.

"Yeah I came clean and he did the same. Turns out there was a woman in the hotel room with him and they slept together so he doesn't blame me or you," Lucy replied honestly as Lee nodded his head.

"Are you ok?" Was Lee's next question as he tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

"I'll be fine. I'm going to take a bath," she announced as she stood up off of the sofa. Lee knew she needed some peace so nodding his head he stood up and gave her a quick kiss before letting her go, "you could join me?" Lucy asked shyly as Lee's head snapped up. That was the second time she had seen him move so fast.
