Polly walked into the house in Small Heath, the fire still lit as she shut the door.
The woman stood in front of her couch, noticing the Finn and Jessy laying asleep.
Sitting down next to the duo, she shook Jessy awake, "wake up Jess, I need a favour."
The brunette groaned after being woken up, rolling over into Finns chest before being shoved once again.
Polly just rolled her eyes, grabbing the girl and yanking her up, "Polly!" She shouted, waking up Finn at her loudness.
"Why the fuck are you shouting at this time?", Finn muffled as he rubbed his eyes, not noticing his aunt stood in front of them.
Jessy stood up, quickly running to the bathroom, "Tommy told you Finn, he told you to stay away."
Polly smacked the boy around the back of his head, "do you want her father to hunt you down!" She shouted
Finn just shook his head, standing up himself and lighting a cigarette, "it's fine Poll, we've been sneaking around for weeks; Toms oblivious."
Polly just threw her head back, "boys know nothing but their dicks." She said, slamming the front door behind her.
Finn sat back down on the couch, watching as the brunette he adored walked back through the hallways towards him.
Jessy sat down next to him, plucking the cigarette out his mouth and placing it into hers, "who would have thought Polly would be so bothered." She laughed.
The peaky blinder put his arm around her, bringing her closer as he felt nervousness in his stomach- it soon becoming evident to Jessy as the nervousness moved to his face; in the shape of a frown.
The gypsy girl grabbed his face, moving it to look at him, "look at me Finn.", she whispered, the only other sound being the busy, bustling street that was past the door, "Tommy will find out, and when he does he'll deal with me okay."
Even though Finn knew she was right, he still couldn't bare the idea of Tomas being disappointed in him over something that could have been avoided.
Standing up Jessy looked down to the beautiful ginger male, "now, I have to go do god knows what with Polly; wish me look Finny."
-
Polly and Jess sat around a table, Jess still not knowing why she's was there, "are you going to tell me Poll or are we gonna sit here forever?", she asked with an annoyed tone.
Polly scoffed as she lit her cigarette, "Tommy has a job for you, but you are coming with me; we're visiting Michael."
Jessy could see the smile Polly had on her face when she spoke about her son Michael, although she herself had never met the man, she knew he meant the world to Poll.
-
Once arriving at the hospital, Jess noticed the other Peaky boys guarding the door, "who's that?"the brunette asked.
The pair saw a woman walk out of Michael's room, wiping tears as she walked in the opposite direction.
Polly suddenly sped up, "Michael! Michael!" The woman shouted, soon pushing the door open.
Jess was stopped at the door, "can't go in miss." A man said, his voice so monotone that Jess could practically smack him and it would stay the same.
"Excuse me, let me past or it won't be Michael needing a hospital bed." The voice of Jessy was sickly sweet as she took the hat which had blades in off the mans head.
He suddenly snatched it back, moving aside for her.
Once entering the room, Jess looked at Polly then to Michael, noticing the annoyance displayed on his face.
"I can smell her perfume Michael.", Polly's voice was the sound of hurt, and clear frustration.
Michael sat back down on his bed, groaning as he leant for a cigarette- offering one to Jess.
Once he lit his and the girls he looked to his mother, "I don't know why she came here mum.", he sighed, "she came to drop something off and left that's all."
The two women knew it was more than that, choosing to ignore what it could be as Thomas, Lizzie and Ada walked through the doors.
Jess quickly made her way to the woman who had became like a sister to her, "god Ada I've missed you."
The Shelby tightly hugged her back, before pulling away and sitting down with the others following.
Tommy sat down in front of Jessy, "I have an opportunity for you Jessy Gold, and I need you to take it."
The brunettes stomach turned at the idea of doing anything for him, "what the hell do you want from me, I've been training Bonni- should be happy enough with that." She scoffed, rolling her eyes at the blue eyed man.
Thomas just looked at her, nodding for Polly to continue, "we were needing Arthur here but the bastard is late as is so he'll just need to be caught up."
Jess looked at all family member confused, "why am I here, I'm not apart of this family?", she asked staring at Tommy.
Lizzie scoffed, smiling at the girl, "that's not entirely true now is it.", Jessy kicked the woman under the table, sharing a glare that could have killed.
"Oh you're one to talk."
Tomas coughed lightly, getting her attention, "as most of you know, besides Jessy and Michael, Luca Changretta visited me not too long ago."
"And if you look," he spoke passing photographs to everyone, "that person right there is him."
Jessy could swear she had saw the man before, "wait, isn't he the one me and my dad were told to shoot a few days ago?", she asked, taking a better look at the picture.
Tomas took a deep breathe, "yes, and he is also the one that nearly made you loose your arm."
Just remembering the pain that one bullet caused sent a shiver up her arm, the shoulder still hurting her, "look I have a favour."
Jessy was still confused, "what do you need from me, I help Bonni so he can make you money, that is all."
Tomas didn't know how to ask such a favour, knowing it would result in a smack from the girl, "we need you close to him, he doesn't know you."
She threw her head back, snorting in a way that was more mocking that anyone thought she intended.
"You are having a laugh aren't you, why would I do this for you!" She shouted, standing up.
Tommy followed her actions, standing in front of her, "because, if you do this. You'll have my blessing with Finn."
Jessy couldn't stop herself as she harshly smacked the peaky blinder across the face, "how dare you use the affection I have for you brother against me.", her voice calm but sturdy.
Tomas smirked, earning another smack to his face, "if I want to be with Finn. I will be with him, I'm not risking my life for your stupid games- my father and brother already do that enough for you."
Michael had watched the twenty year old who he hardly knew, he was amazed by the courage she had.
Once she had stormed out, the Shelby turned to his family- who all held shocked looks on their faces.
Polly and Ada soon stood up to follow the girl, "just fucking Christ Tom. She's a girl, not a soldier in France." Harshly spoke Ada, "she loves our Finn, let them be happy before she ends up in a box, from running around after your favours."
