It felt like a nightmare come true. She never would’ve expected Shane O’Neill to propose, but there he did. After months of him staying around, hanging by her side, honestly how was she so naive to believe he simply wanted friendship?

Shane wasn’t a bad man, he was someone she quite enjoyed the company of, someone she got along with, someone she cared about, but he wasn’t the person she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. He wasn’t the love of her life. That was Billy. But with everything Shane was, a Lord, a wealthy man, a man with goals and ambitions that were good and kind, her family would strongly disapprove of her saying no. 

But she would if Billy told her to. She would tell her family to sod off, she would run away with Billy, she would dedicate herself to him utterly and completely. She knew deep down he was the one she wanted more than anyone, or anything.

“Will,” she spoke as she approached, after all this time still calling him this. By now she knew what everyone else called him, Billy, or in formal cases William, but Ann liked to think of Will as her name for him. No one else’s. “I need to speak with you. It’s urgent.”

@shcrpwits continued from here.

Did she understand the dangers that were at hand? Yes, yes she did. Being in this time period was a danger itself, and that was exactly why she wasn’t listening. If anything else would have been stolen from her, she probably wouldn’t be caring as much as she was. No, it just had to be the one thing she brought with her to this era, the time machine. Kay was pretty sure those neanderthals that took the machine didn’t even know what it was or how to use it. 

It was shiny, and looked pretty, and that seemed to be all the excuse they needed.

“Look, if I don’t get my belonging back then I’m as good as dead anyways.” She didn’t have much, if any, skills with a gun. Certainly not one from this time period, which definitely put her at a severe disadvantage. Take away the guns though, and Kay was pretty certain she could hold herself in a fistfight. Going in and making a show wouldn’t work anyways, but maybe something more stealthy would. He was pretty adamant about her not going alone, and she wasn’t complaining about that considering two heads were better than one. 

“You don’t want me dead? Then you come with me. Since he’s got the firepower and the men, we’re going to have to be sneaky about this. How good are you with stealth, or making a distraction?”

Billy chuckled, nodding, remembering the memory vividly in his mind that he told her about with some of his old gang members. Obviously, he left out that they were gang members, he said they were friends. Which they were, just they were in a gang that Billy was in as well.

“Speaking of parties,” he looked over at her, leaning against the bar in the saloon, “I heard there was a party being hosted here in town. Some sort of dance hall sort of thing going on. I’m sure we could sneak in and I could charm my way into getting us free drinks if you wanted to go.” Maybe it was stupid of him to invite a person he just recently met to a party, suggesting the idea of getting free drinks.

He didn’t know if she had a criminal past or was an innocent civilian, on the right side of the law, so he didn’t open up about his criminal past. He would bring it up if he trusted her more. Billy loved to make new friends and to socialize, but he still was cautious. He wasn’t stupid, he wouldn’t detail every part of his life and something that could get him in jail again. He was on the run, it would be foolish of him to do so.

It was a breath of FRESH AIR, to say the least. To not have to worry about someone coming after her for all the wicked things she’d done this past week. To not have a conversation with someone just for her ‘ business ’. Mariana was still mindful and cautious of those she spoke to, but god forbid she should not have some fun every once in a while. Where was the thrill if there were no risks involved? This woman seeks thrill and danger at every corner, though sometimes, not for the best reasons.

“ It’s SAINT DENIS, honey. There’s always a party goin’ on! ” she chuckles, taking a lit cigarette to her painted lips. After a good inhale, she sighed. “ I ain’t see no harm in sneakin’ in and grabbin’ a few drinks. Maybe we can cause a lil bit o’ trouble too, if that’s yer kind’a thing. ” she raised her brows, leaning in towards him with an added emphasis. 

She may not know a lot about him, but this was the perfect opportunity to find out.

starter call// accepting! @shcrpwits

“John is irritatingly in love with me.” she spoke with a small smirk. “Last week he proposed with such confidence I would say yes, he was even going into detail of what side of the park we should live. He went around looking as though a bucket of cold water had been thrown on him after I refused. I had to spend the next hour cheering him up.”

A few days, at most, was the time spent away to her modern era. Kay didn’t think anything of leaving Billy on his own, she knew he was fully capable of taking care of himself. She was even assured before she left that no one was after him, and he would be safe. 

Despite it all, that failed to be the case.

Arriving back to the past, her search for the cowboy was cut short upon hearing a conversation between two of the townsfolk. There was talk of the “menacing outlaw” being held in a cell at the sheriff’s department in the town. A million questions raced though her mind, the one standing out most being, “How am I going to get him out?”

To say she was hesitant would be an understatement. Kay paced around outside the building, going over the plan one, two, three more times before finally marching up to the door. Maybe - hopefully - no one would be inside except Billy and she could just break him out. She figured that wouldn’t happen, and began thinking of excuse after excuse to distract the lawman with and get him to leave.

As soon as she was inside, Kay glanced around for any sign of Billy or the sheriff. The former would be preferred.

@shcrpwits 

They had been together a year now with her birthday today. Ann was officially nineteen and she felt happiness. Genuine happiness. Her boyfriend Billy, who she still affectionately called “Will” even though by now she knew that most people called him Billy, was who Ann considered the source of such happiness. Her father didn’t approve of the relationship, but he mostly remained quiet about it. Like usual, he didn’t pay too much attention to Ann. Thankfully this meant, at least, that she could do as she pleased. 

Still though, there were certain annoyances she wished to escape. The comments from her father when he did pay attention, watching him fawn over her younger sister. She loved Laura, she didn’t resent her in any way; it was her father who she resented, because it was clear that she was their father’s favorite. Along with this, her cousins, uncles, aunts, they were far more vocal about their thoughts regarding Ann’s relationship with Billy. He still worked for the family, and they considered him to be far below Ann’s class. 

They were especially disproving when she invited him as her date for her birthday party. 

“Of course he’s my escort.” Ann insisted to her aunt. “We’re together.”

The older woman tightened Ann’s corset. “I suppose you still insist on trifling with this phase of yours.”

“He’s not a phase.” she murmured. 

Billy had been with her to more formal events before, but never one of her family’s and never one where he had to actually dress up. She could hardly even imagine him looking so fancy. She didn’t know what he would look like tonight, though frankly she didn’t care. As long as they had time for him to roughly kiss her when no one was looking, she would be happy. Hell, even if they were looking. So, she waited for him to arrive before walking into the ballroom. After all, she was to make an appearance only with an escort on her arm.

😘 Billy obviously // shcrpwits

Send 😘 for my muse’s honest opinion

@shcrpwits​

Them as a person:“You’re interesting, even more so when I get to be by your side instead of hearing stories. You seem to mean well, too.”

Level of attractiveness:“I honestly never thought I’d like the whole cowboy aesthetic, but… You’ve changed my mind.”

What annoys them most:“You’re not exactly the most loved by people… That and being wanted. It makes for a dangerous life.”

What they like the most:“Your smile. Sometimes it seems like it’s bright enough to rival the sun. It’s why I like when you’re joking around or, of course, when you’re happy.”

What they’d do if they were locked in a closet together for 4 hours:“I figure if we’re locked in a closet together, it’s probably because we’re hiding from someone… Which doesn’t make for the most fun situation to be in.”

Overall opinion:“You’re helpful and kind, though troublesome at times. A cowboy of wit and charm, to no surprise. You… Mean a lot to me though, and that’s the important thing.”

Rating:“Nine out of ten.”
