A Day And Night To Remember
Abby's POV:
I woke up to the sun shining in my face then opened my eyes looking around the car I'm in and remembered what Jacob did for me last night and smiled sitting up in bed 'This is really nice of Jacob to this for do me. How could I ever repay him?' I thought getting up out of bed and stretching feeling my back crack a little then I thought something I could do if he is not too busy.
I took off my nightgown, changed into my Assassin's outfit and decided to do something different with my hair seeing that I always have it in a French braid, I put it in a half-up twisted fishtail braid letting a couple of strands of my hair fall around my face. After I was done I opened the door and walked through the pub car then in the main car to see Jacob already awake "Good morning Jacob" I said smiling.
He looked at me and smiled "Good morning Abby. Did you sleep well?" he asked.
"Yes I do and thank you for giving me my own car"
"You're welcome" he smiled making me smile as well "I was wondering if you're not busy today, would you like to spend the day with me? Like a day off with no missions to do" I asked hoping he wouldn't say 'no'.
"I would love to" he smiled softly.
My smiled widen "Great! So what would you like to do?" I asked then heard my stomach growl making me blush, he laughed "Let's get something to eat" we walked off the train in the City of London heading to a nice restaurant that wasn't too fancy, "So what would you like to do today?" I asked him again after we got our drinks and ordered some food.
"I have a few ideas but only I will know" he answered giving me a cocky smile.
I gave him a side smirk taking a sip of my water "Should I worry or write out a will?" I asked jokingly, he laughed taking a drink of his ale "That all depends on if you will like them" he said.
I shrugged my shoulders "Then we will have to wait and see" I smiled a little moving a piece of my hair behind my ear "But I still think I should write out a will" I joked making him laugh even more, after we got done eating we walked out heading towards a park we walked around in silence enjoying each other's company then I saw a flower stand.
I walked over looking at all the different flowers "Which one do you like?" Jacob asked standing next to me, I looked at him then back at the flowers "It's very hard to choose which one" I said looking them "They are all so beautiful"
"Then let me pick for you" he said looking at them thinking, I watched him as he was looking and smiled when he picked lilies "Nice choice, sir" the lady said smiling as he paid her then turned to me handing me the flowers "For you m'lady" he said speaking like a gentleman making me giggle and blush.
"Thank you, good sir" I said speaking like a lady then took the flowers and smelling them "Nice choice you did made there Mr. Frye. Lilies are one of my favorite flowers" I walked away smiling not noticing Jacob stood there for a minute watching me and smiled, we walked around the park some more seeing some of the Rooks and talk to them for a bit then we sat down on the park bench.
"Having fun so far?" he asked, I looked at him and smile nodding "Yes I am. Are you?" I asked.
He shrugs "Yeah but I am wondering about one thing"
"What's that?"
"When are we going to talk about why you followed me to the fight club one night" he said out of nowhere making me blush and look away 'Damn I thought he forgotten about that' I thought "I-I huh-wasn't following you" I said trying to lie but I couldn't lie to him.
"Abby..."
I glanced at him to see him look at me then looked down at the lilies sitting in my lap "I was just curious on where you were going" I answered hoping he won't get mad or upset with me.
"Why did you run away when I saw you?"
I sighed "I guess I got scared that you would be mad or upset with me for following you" I continue looking at the lilies playing with the leaves not looking at him till he took a hold of my hand causing me to look at him, "You don't have to be scared of me, Abby. If you wanted to know where I was going all you have to do is ask and I will always tell you the truth" he said looking deep into my hazel eyes as I looked into his.
I looked down at our hands lacing my fingers with his and smiled softly looking back at him "Okay Jacob", he smiled back giving my hand a little squeeze. We walked around the streets of London talking, laughing and joking around enjoying ourselves then we walked along Blackfriars Bridge as the sun started to set.
I stopped walking and watch the sunset as Jacob stood next to me watching as well "My dad would tell me stories about his missions while we watched sunsets together" I said smiling a little bit at the memories "He also told me the story how he met my mom"
"Really?"
I nodded smiling "He was on a mission in Moscow, Russia as was my mom, they both had the same target so they decided to work together. He said at first it was slightly difficult because he was use to working alone but as he spent time with her he liked being around her and she was very helpful. After they took care of their target he decided to have her go with him in his missions"
"Till they eventually fall in love with each other" Jacob said finishing my sentence.
I looked at him noticing he was staring off into the sunset 'He's thinking of his parents' I thought feeling myself frown a little "I'm sorry if me talking about my parents is making you feel uncomfortable" I said.
He looked at me and smiled a little "It's okay Abby" he patted my shoulder then we continued on walking till we got to the train station and waited for the hideout train, I sat on a bench waiting for Jacob to come back with the time for when the hideout train should show up then I noticed some Blighters passing by, they glanced at me and continue on walking.
'That's weird, they usually want to fight or at least start one' I thought raising an eyebrow at them but just shook it off like it was nothing then Jacob sat down next to me "The train should here in about 5 minutes" he said.
I nodded "Okay", we sit on the bench in silent till he said "Today was a nice day Abby. Thank you"
I looked at him and smiled "You're welcome Jacob. Maybe we could do this again someday"
He looked at me and smiled back "I would love that", once the hideout train showed up Jacob got on it I went to follow till I heard someone calling my name "Miss Abigail!" I quickly looked back to see Charles Dickens "Miss Abigail I need to have a word with you please!" he said.
"I'll be right there Charles" I said and looked back at Jacob handing him the lilies he gave me "Go ahead and put these in my car and I'll be back as soon as I can" I said to him.
"You don't want me to come with you?" he asked.
"It shouldn't take me long to talk to Charles. I promise I will be back soon" with that said I walked over to Charles "What is it, Charles?" I asked standing in front of him.
"Remember when you came to me asking if I could find out some information about any members of the Pride family?" he asked.
I nodded "Yes I do", about a week before I meet Jacob and Evie I went to Charles to see if he could find out if there are any members of the Pride family are visiting around London or living in Ireland. The only real reason why I want to know is because I don't want to accidentally run into them while on a mission and ask me questions about the future.
"Priscilla and Alistair Pride are the only family members that has been visiting but more so around Crawley, they were last seen around there a few weeks ago" Charles said.
'Crawley? That's where Jacob and Evie use to live' I looked at him confused "Is there a reason why they in Crawley?"
"Attending a funeral for a dear friend they lost. I believe his name was Ethan Frye"
'Jacob and Evie's father?!' this catches my attention but I nodded my head calmly "Thank you Charles" I went to turn and catch up with the train till he said "There is more Miss Abigail", I turned back towards him as he continued "About a week ago they showed up in London saying they're looking someone. Someone who they said they are interested to meet"
"Who is it?" I asked.
He looked down pulled out of his pocket a folded up piece of paper, he unfolds it revealing a drawing of picture. Of a young woman about my age but my eyes widen when I noticed who it is.
It's me.
