Emily's POV

Me and Jacob leave the train and we walk to Aleck's shop, since we weren't that far from it. We were going to tell his about us, but one half of me wanted to tell uncle about us but at the same time my other half dreaded of what he would think. Would he be glad? Would he forbid it? Jacob realizes that I haven't talked for a while.

" Are you okay, love?" Jacob asks.

" I don't know, I was just thinking what if uncle doesn't approve? What if he tells my father? You have no idea what my father became after my mother died, he became so contr..." Jacob puts two fingers on my lips to make me stop talking. I look up at him.

" Emily, if your uncle doesn't approve we will just have to find other ways to see each other, and if he tells your father I will just have to make him approve of me,"

" I like the way you think Jacob Frye," I grad ahold of the collar of his shirt and pull him in for a kiss. He smirks. After about 20 minutes we reach uncle's shop. We walk inside his shop to our luck he was there.

" Uncle?" I say trying to get his attention.

" Ah, Emily, there you are I was worried sick, where did you go!" uncle says trying not to yell.

" Uncle, I'm sorry that I didn't tell you where I was going, I figured I didn't have to since Mary saw me walk out," I explain.

" Next time tell me where you are going, your father would have my head if he found out you were kidnapped," I laugh.

" No to more series matters," I say, " Jacob has something to ask of you," I gently pull him to my side," While doing so he gave me a frown that says ' thank you for putting me in the spotlight like that'. Jacob fake smiles.

" Mr. Bell," he says. I have NEVER use my uncles name so formally," May I ask you for your permission to court your niece?" uncle looked shocked. I feared the worsted that uncle would say something like' Emily he is no good for you, or,' your father would be very disappointed with you,'. But uncle simply smiled.

" Yes, of course you can," I sigh in relief," When your father and brother get here they would be happy," my happiness soon stops. I know my brother, Erik, would be happy, but my father, he wouldn't approve of Jacob.

" What!?" I try to be calm," There coming here?"

" Yes, what is the problem?" uncle asks.

" How long did you know about this?" I ask.

" Emily, I just got the letter today, they wont be coming for another week, when the Queen has the party," he explains.

" Well when Erik comes, at least I would be spending time with him," I say.

" That will be nice, would it?" uncle smiles," Why, I remember you two always playing in the shop or when you would say something insulting to Erik he would grab your hair and pull on it until you apologized," uncle laughed and so do I remembering the time I called him 'a bloody wanker' I laugh harder at the memory

" Emily, what is so funny? Jacob asks while hugging me from behind.

" Oh, I was just remembering the time when I called my brother 'a bloody wanker'," I smile. Jacob looks at me shocked.

" Emily!" I just laughed at him.

" I'm just lucky that neither my father or mother were in the room, because I would have been smacked," I say. Uncle stops laughing then he looks at Jacob.

" Jacob, if you ever hurt Emily in any way. I will personally gut you," uncle sounded stern and serious . Me and Jacob look at him shocked. I have never heard uncle sound like that. Then uncle smiles and laughs.

" Jacob, I'm kidding," I laugh nervously and I walk Jacob out. Then Jacob looks at me.

" Emily, you know that I would never hurt you right?" he says sounding a little sad. I place my hand on his cheek.

" Jacob, I know you will never hurt me," with that he gave me that boyish grin that I loved, then he kisses me.

Jacob's POV

I leave Aleck's shop after saying goodbye to Emily. I was glad that Aleck was okay with me courting Emily, I love her very much. More than anything. I couldn't help but notice how her mood had changed from happy to sort of pissed when Aleck said that her father was coming to London. What did he do to her to make her resent him? Well who am I to question her because I never had a good relationship with my father. But still.

I find the train hideout and luckily Evie wasn't there to lecture me about my handy work when it came to me assassinating my targets. So then I lied down on the couch then I went to sleep.
