Jessy walked into the busy pub, she'd heard from her friend who lived in Small Heath that the garrison was the pub to be in.

The girl walked towards the drinks that sat behind the counter, taking a seat in front of a male.

"What can I get you love?", the man asked, his voice was rough as he passed another person their drink.

Jessy thought for a second, settling on asking for a gin and tonic. 

She felt uncomfortable in the pub, although it was beautifully designed, with gold lacing the insides.

It was a huge contrast to the men and woman that filled it to the brim, shouting, laughing and dancing all night long till they saw the sun come up.

Once she got her drink, the brunette noticed that it became instantly quiet at the sight of the doors opening.

Choosing not to look around, the brunette kept sipping her drink; wanting to leave quicker than she thought.

Feeling a sudden warmth next to her, she turned around to noticed a ginger haired boy in a peaky hat and suit.

He had a delicate smile, which soon turned into a smirk on his face- this making the girl smile back before pulling out a cigarette.

She lit the nicotine, taking a drag before offering a new, fresh cigarette out of her black case to the boy.

He looked more nervous, he seemed different from the other men that wore that style of suit in small Heath; more innocent.

"My name is Finn by the way." The pretty Birmingham accent flowing out of his lips as he French inhaled the smoke.

"Nice to meet you Finn, mines Jessy.", the ginger looked at the girl in the eyes, they were a deep brown that seemed to sparkle in the dark pub.

She smiled up to him, even sat down he stood at about 3 inches taller than her height, "would you like a drink Finn?" She asked

The girl didn't know why but she wanted to make him smile, wanted to see him happy.

"I'd love to have a drink but I need to get to that little room over there" he says pointing to the back room, "but I'll definitely have one with you later on if you're still here"

With that, Finn placed a gentle kiss to her check as he disappeared into the room.

Jessy Gold drank the rest of her drink, not realizing that she was just kissed by a peaky blinder.
