The mystery man looked at Tommy and then at Bella again chuckling. "Is this the date, Doll? Gotta say I was expecting more"
Bella scoffed "oh fuck off!"
He glared at her but before he could do anything in response, a gun was cocked.
To the side Tommy now had his gun in his right hand. He wanted this man gone and away from Bella. If he wasn't so close to her right now he would shoot.
"You heard the lady. Fuck off." He spoke threateningly
The man swallowed and stepped back with his hands raised. "Alright mate. Take it easy, just trying to have some fun"
His comment just pissed Tommy off even more, he tilted his head at the man "you have three second to turned around and walk out of here. Don't come back."
The man paused for a second. Then when he realized how serious Tommy was, he quickly turned and made his way down the rest of the hallway.
Tommy stood there watching until he was gone. When he was, he quickly put his gun away and walked over to Bella, who was still leaning against the wall.
Stopping in front of her, he gave her a once over, checking for any injuries
"I'm okay Tommy" she told him
still he checked again "I shouldn't have left you"
"Nothing happened. And you're here now." She reassured him
Moving his eyes up to hers. He watched her for a second, making sure she was truly okay before he nodded.
"Would you like to watch the races now?" He asked gently
She nodded and held her hand out, to which he smirked and took it, resting it in his elbow
"It was be my pleasure, Mr. Shelby" she smirked back at him
He led her down the hall and to the top balcony to oversee the race track.
Bella looked around in awe, she couldn't believe how big of a production this all was.
She looked up at Tommy, who was already looking at her. "Do we know any of the horses racing today?"
He softly shook his head and smirked "no but I would bet a lot of money on a horse named Black Jack"
She chuckled at this, knowing what he was implying. Just then the bells to start the race went off. Turning her attention back to the track to watch, she felt Tommy do the same as he did on the bridge. Put both arms around her to rest them on the balcony railing.
Bella smiled and cheers for the horses with the rest of the crowd. It was so exciting. And Tommy loved to see her this happy. He would take her to a million races if it meant seeing her like this.
Just as Tommy said, Black Jack won. Bella clapped and cheered loudly for him. And turned to Tommy, "this is so exciting, thank you for taking me"
He gave her his signature nod. Which translates to 'you're welcome' in Tommy language
Off to the right of the balcony. Bella can see a dance hall. She didn't know there was dancing here as well!
Tommy noticed her looking at this.
"Do you care to dance?" He asked
She kept her smile on her face, "you're asking me to dance, Mr. Shelby?"
He smirked a little "I am, Ms. Ray"
Her smiled widen "I would love to"
And with that Tommy led her down the stairs and towards the dance hall.
