// A little something with the two of them sleeping next to each other.
xxxx
Arrow House, 1 AM:
Mary couldn't sleep. The night was one of the hottest they had known and despite their attempts at keeping the room fresh, Mary could feel her brown curl stick to her face, the sweat that made her nightgown cling to her curvaceous frame. Her green eyes were looking at the ceiling when she heard a slight shift on the bed. Tommy wasn't sleeping either, so she turned around, and laid on her sides while his cerulean eyes set upon her beautiful face.? He looked at the beauty spot above her upper lip and looked at her plump lips. Suddenly, all Tommy wanted to do was to kiss her, so he cupped her cheek. She gave him a soft smile and shifted on the bed, closing the distance between the two of them. His big blue eyes stared at her intently, as if he wanted to see her soul and read all the secrets that were hidden there. He wanted to know how she was feeling if she was happy if he was doing things the right way. He didn't know she went to visit Johnny Dogs and Curly and she hoped that he wouldn't know the truth until she was ready.
She leaned into his touch, a smile gently graced her features, and she kept her eyes on him. She didn't mind the heat, not when she could stare into Tommy's eyes and feel safe. They were used to not finding sleep from time to time so it didn't bother them to be awake and look at each other in silence. The silence was comfortable. She couldn't hold back a warm smile and gently brought her hand to the back of his hand. She had been trying to surprise The Shelby by learning everything she could about horses. She loved animals and she picked up Tommy's love for horses. He was either riding a horse, either taking care of the horses back in the mansion's stables, or...He was still in contact with May Carleton, the beautiful horse trainer he met a while ago. Mary had never been around horses before and she wanted to properly know how to care for them but never had the opportunity to do so until a couple weeks ago.
"Hey..." -She cooed to him.-
"Hey..." -He crooned- "The heat is properly killing me." -He joked a little before he leaned forward so their noses could brush against one another-
"The heat is killing me too.." -She whispered before she rubbed her nose to his- "Yet, you're still very close to me. Despite the heat."
"Despite the heat..." -He crooned, his thumb gently stroking the cheek of the young woman. She was beautiful, in the dim light of the bedroom. He couldn't tear his eyes off of her face, taking in the curves of her plump lips, the lovely beauty spot on top of her left eyebrow. He loved the way she was looking at him as if he was the most beautiful thing in the world-
Johnny dogs visited Arrow's house to see Tommy and Mary asked him to teach her about horses. She wanted to know all there was to know about them so she could take better care of the horses of Arrow House but also go on rides with Charlie instead of waiting for Tommy to be available. He questioned her because he could feel that she wasn't being fully honest with him and the young woman ended up admitting that she wanted to know how to ride horses so she could also go on rides with Tommy. She wanted to share something in common with Tommy, something that could help her connect better with Tommy. Horses calmed him and she wanted to be able to calm him in moments of need. Johnny was moved by her request and asked her to meet with him twice a week. He would take her to Charlie Strong so she would learn how to mount and proper care of a horse and he would teach her on her way there the fundamentals.
It was taking its time, but she knew how to ride by now. She learned how to feed them and was now learning how to groom the horses. She wanted to be perfect, to have the knowledge needed to be a good companion for Tommy. She wanted to see the smile on his lips when she would suggest they'd go for a ride. Her heart started to beat faster, to the point that he could notice the change in her breathing. His eyes narrowed and he lifted a brow, questioning her in silence about the sudden change. She pressed her forehead against his and whispered.
"I'm okay. Don't worry." -She gently cupped his cheek with one hand and she stroked his cheek.- "It is just a very hot night." -He pushed one of her heavy curls off of her face and smiled at her. She was telling the truth, which reassured him.- "Is it wrong that I want to kiss you right now?"
"Why don't you try and find out, eh?" -He crooned and cupped the back of her neck to keep her in place. She pressed her lips to his in a soft kiss, purring in between their lips as she gave him a tender kiss.-
He returned it in kind, not knowing her little plan or anticipating the way her little gesture would touch him. Mary was nurturing, She cared for Tommy in a way that he had never been cared for. She wanted him to feel loved, to know that there would be someone who would have his back no matter what. Little did she know that while she was planning something cute for the two of them, there had been people who didn't have their best interest in mind. Michael was one of them, but her mother -whom she wanted nothing to do with- was also fomenting plans to ruin her daughter's life and make her leave the UK. They were unaware and happy in their little bubble and that was all that mattered.
