The morning after i arrived back home was the same as before, expect with a pounding headache from last nights extravagant 'welcome home party' Ada kept repeating when in fact it was just drink that went overboard. I had already set my intentions of finding a job for myself today, which I'm fairly quite excited for, I've always loved work no matter what it is, as long as I'm earning money, I can provide for myself.
By the time 12:00 rolled around I was ready my thick hair the way it is like always, my waves loose, swaying when I walk. My long lilac skirt paired with my all time favourite white blouse, Seen many times before.
Pulling on my coat and my little bag I set off, planning to see the Ada before I go to find myself a job. Knocking on their door, I waited patiently for my friend to open, but no answer, I knock again, it was unlike Ada to not answer a door as the Shelby's always seemed to be expecting people. To answer my confusion the door swung open, showing the exact opposite of who I wanted it to be, Thomas Shelby, one thing I didn't notice last night was that he looked tired, more than usual, more then before, before the war, I could tell it took a toll on him.
With an sigh i cock my head to the side an attitude accidentally seeking through and i raise my eyebrows "Is Ada there Thomas?"
He mirrors my exact movements, yet looking down on me "Since when was it Thomas to you, ay?"
As if he was trying to intimidate me, although didn't work, I knew Tommy
"Is she there or not?" I roll my eyes
The hangover not helping the bitterness I had towards him
"No she isn't" He says, visibly growing impatient
"Polly?" I raise my eyebrows
"No, is that all?" Sighing towards me
"Have you got somewhere to be Thomas, I really don't want to be holding you" I accidentally snap towards him, in no way was it meant to be a dig, I actually really do not like to be the cause of things
He stares at me for a moment longer, unsure of what his intentions are, with a swift movement he shuts the door back
I hold in a snort of laughter "Right then" I say still staring at the door
No more then a few seconds a begin my journey down to the garrison, hopping the landlord Harry would let me take on a job I had seen in the newspapers. __
Walking in to the Garrison it was quiet not like how It was last night when it was so lively yet still so dull, now it's just still.
"Can i help you?" A thick Irish accent startled me
A women, A rather beautiful women may i add, blonde hair that stops just below her shoulders, eyes you would dream off
Don't get my wrong I wasn't jealous, I rarely envy another's beauty, i knew I had my own just like she had her own as well, we were the exact opposite of each other in so many ways, yet I could tell we were also so alike
I give her a warm smile in which she returns
"I'm just looking for Harry do you know where he could be?" I walk towards the bar
"He's just around the back, I can go get him if you like" she puts down the rag she was using to clean some glasses
"If you don't mind" I smile
The woman walks off
Not long after she comes back around Harry following after her
"Oh hello Elle, when'd you get back?" Harry smiles towards me
I giggle at him
"Last night, did you not see me I came in here for a couple of hours"
He scratches his head as if he's trying to remember making me laugh even more
"Anyway, I was wondering if that job is still open you were offering" i give him a cheeky smile
"Well that spots just been taken by grace, Sorry Elle" he frowns at me, pointing towards the petite blonde woman
Oh, so her names Grace, She must of only came to Birmingham recently I suppose then
"Oh please Harry, I reckon we'd work well together, and you wouldn't have to be in so often" i give him the puppy dog eyes that used to work on my mother constantly
He sighs, and look towards grace, she gives him a small smile
"Right, only because your a right stubborn cow" he sarcastically digs at me
"Thank you, thank you" I repeat
He grunts and goes back into the back carrying on what he was doing
I turn towards Grace and hold out my hand "I'm Elizabeth"
She looks towards my hand for a moment before embracing it with her own
"Grace" She smiles
We let go and i begin straightening out my coat and skirt
"Right then grace, I shall see you tonight" I begin walking toward the door
She doesn't say anything but instead she gives a polite nod towards my way.
Once outside, I feel a beam of happiness i now have a job back where my home is, no matter if it is small pay it will get me through _______
I try the Shelby household once more, and easing my nerves Ada opens the door
"Finally, guess what" I barge past her into the small house
"Hello to you to" She laughs at me
"I've got a job, at the Garrison, how exciting" I plop myself down on of the dining chairs
"Wow yes, very exciting" She claims, her words laced with sarcasm
We both laugh together despite nothing was really funny
We are both still filled with excitement we are together once again
All is well, just like how it used to be...
_________ I promise it's going to get better and chapters will be longer I'm just so tired lol😗
