December •1908• Mariana's POV
After spending an afternoon in bed with Tommy, we'd laid speaking about every thing How we were coping How we weren't coping Arthur and John. Poor little Finn. David and Nala
Us... "I'm just suggesting you... we don't see other people" he said "I wasn't anyway" I said "Good, me neither" he confirmed, and it settled the flutter of worry in my chest
I'd never thought of Tommy with... someone else He'd never had a girlfriend, he'd never had a girl in his bed He spent all his time with me and Freddie
And before I knew it, I became the girl in his bed.
"So what does this mean?" I asked, unsure of where we were "It doesn't have to mean anything, it just means that we only fuck each other" he said "Is that all we do? Fuck each other?" I asked "No" he said after a pause "We... you're more than a fuck, you know that" he said
"Do I?" I asked quietly "Yes" he said, grasping my cheek in his hand "You've always been more" he said, kissing me again.
"Mar I... I wanted to tell you but I just... every time I try to I get nervous or we get interrupted and well... I lo-" And a knock on the door cut him off "What we're you going to say?" I asked, ignoring it
"You should get that" he said "Tommy?" I asked "Just... get the door" he said, seemingly deflated Oh. Was he going to say he... loved me?
I stood up, grabbing my dressing gown before answering the door And there stood John, holding Nala "John?" "I found her in the pub, Kinney was drinking with some guys, they asked him to join them to the next pub, he said yeah and he left her behind, he was so fucked Mar, I don't think he even knew where he was" he explained, following me into the living room.
I took her off him I trusted him, I trusted the fucking idiot. "Thanks, for bringing her home" I said "It's okay, it's my job ain't it" he laughed "What do you mean?" I asked "Tommy he... asked me to follow Kinney" he said unsurely.
"He what?" "Yeah I thought you knew" he said "No, I didn't" I said "Shit, well I've got to go" he said, heading to door Idiot...
"Who was it?" Tommy shouted from upstairs "John, he found Nala at the pub, Kinney left her" I explained, gaging his reaction "Shit, is she okay?" He asked, getting up "She's fine" I said, putting her down in her crib She was smiling, babbling to herself, so thankfully she wasn't distressed.
