You worked at a library since you were 13 years old. You parents needed you to work so we could survive. So they asked the librarian if they had something for you. You were so happy that you parents not put you on the street trying to get some chain. They wanted a better life for you.
The library became your second home. If you felt sad, alone you came here. These was the only place you could feel safe from the world outside.
"Tommy Shelby in a library." You hear someone say behind you. You looked towards the voice and yes it was the true. Tommy Shelby was in the library. You looked at your books hoping he doesn't see you here. This was you safe place. Even being friends with Tommy, you didn't want him to know this was your safe haven.
"Y/N" Your heard someone say next to you. You looked towards the person and you saw Tommy staring at you.
"What are you doing here?" You asked him. He gives you a little smile and says "I'm here to pick a book." He says staring at a bookcase in front of him. You giggled a little bit. "You are here to pick up a children's book?" You said to him. He now reads one of the books in the bookcase.
"Yes.. voor Finn" he says
"What are you really doing here Tommy?" You ask him
"Ok.. I'm here to see you." He says looking straight at your eyes.
His light blue eyes just kills you. You had feelings for this man. But you promised yourself that you will never give in on this feelings. You wouldn't want to be in his world.
"Why?" You asked him.
"I want you to come with to a diner with me." He says to you. You look away from him.
"Why can't you ask somebody else?"
"Because I trust you Y/N"
"What do I have to do at the dinner?" You asked him. If you went somewhere with Tommy you know you had to make someone entertained. That was his way. He had business to take care off and it was person who accompanied him who entertained the people. That's what all the woman told you and what you heard from Arthur and John.
"Nothing" he says to you
"Come on Tommy. I know you. You don't just ask somebody to accompany you to dinner if you didn't need them to do something." You said to him.
You walked to a little table in the room. You took some books off the table and started walking towards another bookcase. Tommy was looking at you, seeing every movement you made. When you stood in front of the bookcase you had to be, Tommy starts walking towards you.
"I don't need you to do something. I just want you to go to dinner with me." He says in another tone you never heard him say. You looked at him. He was staring at you again with his blue eyes. You didn't say anything to him and kept doing what you were doing. "Maybe I should ask it different." He says. You stopped and looked towards him. He was looking down, he took a deep breath. looked you in the eyes and said.
"Will you go to dinner with me Y/N? Only the two of us."
Wait did you really heard it right. You were surprised. You didn't know what to say.
