Father and Brother
" Oh, no," I say.
" What's wrong?" Jacob asks concerned. I turn to him.
" I completely forgot about my brother and father coming, well I'm excited to see my brother, but I can't face my father," I ramble, "and knowing him he is going to bring a suter for another attempt to get me to marry,"
" Wait your marrying me," Jacob says trying to wrap is head around this.
" But my father doesn't know that I'm engaged already," I explain.
" Well maybe you should tell him," Jacob says. I know he is serious when he says it. But he is hardly serious about anything. I look at him with sadness. He wraps his arms around me.
" Jacob, you don't know my father, he will try to make me end it with you," a few tears rolls down my eyes. Jacob wipes them away with his thumb.
" I would like to see him try," he grins, I laugh a little. He leans in for a kiss, which I gladly accept. We stay like that, with his arm around my waist, and with my arms around his neck, with my hands playing with his hair, for a good 5 minutes. Until I hear a carriage pull up. I brake the kiss.
Someone opens the door, the person I see at the door is Erik. I pull away from Jacob and run up to him.
He has brown hair, and green eyes. He is about as tall as Jacob, around 5 foot 11. I'm about 5 foot 4, so they both tower over me.
" Erik!" I say excitedly. He holds his arms open, and I jump into them.
" Emily, missed you so much," he says. He spins me around. He looks over at Jacob, " Who's this?" he asks.
" Erik, I would like you to meet my fiancee, Jacob Frye, Jacob, this my brother Erik," I introduce them.
" Nice, to meet you Jacob," Erik holds out his hand signaling for Jacob to shake it, Jacob shakes his hand. Erik looks back at me.
" Emily, you were only here for a month and a half, and you are already engaged," Erik says a little shocked. I look around expecting to see uncle and father come in at any moment.
" Where are uncle and father," Erik chuckles.
" Oh, they went to a pub," I look at him can't be living of what I was hearing,
" So, that makes me feel so much better, that father would rather go to a pub, than see his own daughter," I say sarcastically.
" Oh, Emily they won't be long," Erik says trying to assure me. I nod my head, " Anyway how have you been doing?" Erik asks me.
" Fine, just fine. You?" Erik looks at me.
" Fine, you know I'm going to inherent father's company," he smiles.
" That's nice Erik," I was really happy for him. Erik looks at mother's locket, that I always wore around my neck.
" You still have her locket," he says. I nod.
" Emily, you never told me how your mother died," Jacob says. I look at him.
" Honestly I don't know what killed, not even the doctors knew what she was sick with," I explain," All I know is that she just started to wither away," Then the door opens, and I see my uncle, and my father who is very, very drunk and luckily, no suter. My uncle has to help him stand.
" Uncle, how much did you let drink," Erik laughs.
" Emily, is that you," my father slurs before he passes out. Jacob laughs a little.
" Okay that was painful to watch," he and Erik laugh harder. I think they will be fast friends.
