Telling Father
Well for the past three hours father has been sleeping on the sofa, while trying to sober up. Jacob looks at me saddened.
" I have to leave," Jacob says, I look up at him pouting. Jacob sighs, " Emily, if I don't leave now Evie will be even more angry at me," I weakly smile.
" Jacob, father deserves to know about us," I say to him. He grins.
" I thought you said he wouldn't approve," he says mockingly.
" I know but...." I start to say," I realize he probably won't approve of you at first, but once he gets to know you he might have a change of heart,"
" So you think he might approve eventually?" he says.
" Yes," I answer, " Jacob, I want you with me when we tell him," I say to him.
" Okay, I will be here in there the morning," he says and then kisses me goodbye.
The next day
The next day I wake up feeling refreshed. I get up from my bed and get dressed in a light green dress. I walk drown the stairs and I see that my father is still asleep.
Last night my brother had to go to a hotel.
I make breakfast for uncle, father, and myself. I just make hot cakes ( pan cakes) and coffee. After I make breakfast, I hear a groin from coming from my father. He wakes up. I hand him his coffee.
" You know, it's your own fault, you shouldn't have drank too much," I tell him. He laughs sarcastically, " I made breakfast," he drinks his coffee and looks at the table where the food was set. He gets up and eats.
" It's good Emily," he completed my cooking.
" I'm going to go and wake up uncle," I say and he nods. After I wake up uncle we eat quietly, it reminded me of all of the quiet meals I had in Scotland with father, mother, and Erik. After we eat Erik looks walks in, he sees me picking up the plates.
" You didn't save any food for me," he says a little hurt. I sigh.
" Do you want me to make you something?" I say. He smiles.
" No, I already ate," he says. I shake my head, " So what is my sister doing today?" I look at him.
" Actually, I think I'm staying here," I say, " I had a big day yesterday, so I just don't want to do anything today," I hear a knock at the door. I get up to get it. When I open the door Jacob is there. I smile,and I let him in.
" Ah, Jacob," Erik says and shakes is hand. Father walks in, and he sees Jacob.
" Who's this?" Father says. I look at Jacob.
" Father, this is Jacob Frye," I smile, father just looks at him.
" Charmed, I'm sure," he says, " So Emily, these are the people you expose yourself to," he looks at me with disappointment. I get a little mad at him.
" Who I expose myself to is none of your concern," I say calmly. Father just looks at me.
" Well it is, because you are my daughter," he says harshly.
" So you want me exposed to the boring life that I was raised in, to be unhappily married to a man that thinks the only thing I'm good for is having babies, cooking and cleaning," I glad at my father.
" Emily, I want you to be happy, but I don't you around the likes of him," he say pointing to Jacob. I'm just going to break it to him.
" Jacob is my fiancee," I say and walk away from them.
