The Idiot Assassin - Jacob Frye

Goodbye, Connor

As we reached our train hideout, Sam informed us that Evie and Connor were in need of Sam's help. So it was only myself and Jacob in the train.

I opened a cupboard that had all the alcohol inside, I took a bottle of vodka that was imported from Russia. "Do you want a bigger glass?" Jacob said sarcastically as he saw me pour 3 cups already. "Actually, might drink it from the bottle." I said as I put away the cup and drank straight away from the bottle. Jacob glanced over me and smirked.

After drinking half the bottle, I started feeling a little drunk. "Anastasia I think you should put that down. Let's go rest." He placed his hands on my bare shoulders. "You want to wrestle, hm Jacob?" I said giving him a smirk, as he looked confuse. "Anastasia I reassure you, that isn't a good idea." He chuckled. "Nonsense Jacob." I said as a pushed him on the sofa and jumping on top of him.

Jacob laughed loudly as he pushed me off of him, I grabbed his cloak making him fall with me, we broke some of the glasses and vases in the room, making a big mess. "You give up Frye!" I said rather proud on top of Jacob pinning him down to the floor.

"Alright, alright I give up." He surrendered, giving me a chance to win. His hands had a gentle grip on my arms, as I lowered myself closer to his face, his hands traveled to my waist. I breathed heavily as I looked into his eyes that met mine. We stared deeply into each other's eyes. As I got closer to his lips, Jacob placed his hand on the back of my neck and kissed me slowly and gently. His kisses traveled from my lips down to my neck, then to my bare shoulders as I moaned a little bit in his ear.

"Jacob..." I whispered his name loudly. "Mhmm.." He kept kissing my neck without paying attention to me calling his name. "Jacob we can't do this here.." I got up, pulling him with me. I was sitting on his lap, while his hands were on my hips. "Jacob I'm serious.." I said holding his face, trying to catch his attention. "Alright." He hissed as he carried me back to my cart, he threw me on the bed and locked the room door.

"Jacob..." I chuckled while my eyes were closed, I could feel myself getting sleepier by the minute. Jacob removed his shirt and sat next to me on the bed. "Anastasia...?" He wondered if I fell asleep or if I was still awake and just drunk. I was too tired to answer him. "Anastasia, I love you..." He whispered loudly, he kissed my forehead thinking I was asleep. He tucked me in bed and laid down next to me as he hugged my waist gently.

As I awoke tangled in my sheets, with no arms around me and the sun shining right through my window, I woke up and went straight away to my small wardrobe to find some clothes to wear. I wore a blouse and a pants that had spenders, I did not like wearing dresses unless I had to. I let my hair go and just combed it, it looked a little too messy.

"Jacob, I'd like to talk to you." Connor whispered into Jacob's ear, as he did not want Sam and Henry to hear. Jacob followed Connor into another cart as he was getting a little bit uneasy.

"What do you want?" Jacob crossed his arms and glared at Connor. "Please take care of Anastasia, as I know myself that you would. I see the way you look at her and how she looks at you. I know myself that I truly do love her, but I won't be committed." As Connor confessed, it took Jacob by surprise and did not know how to respond.

"I lost my chance, I know how Anastasia is. She won't give in unless she truly loves you. You are truly her first, don't hurt her Jacob." Connor patted my shoulder as he gave me a weak smile and left.

As I followed behind him, still surprised both my eyes and Connor's landed on Anastasia. "Come on Sam! Let me dress up how I like." She shrugged and sighed, rolling her eyes. I did think she looked adorable, no matter what she wore or did with her hair or face, Anastasia is always perfect and marvelous. "Where's Evie anyhow?" Anastasia asked, as she later realized that Connor and I were in there with them. She glanced over me, smiling sweetly.

"Evie, my sweet cousin, is doing a task." Sam said without making eye contact with me. "Everyone, Connor has something to tell everyone." Henry cleared his throat. "Oh what could it be?" Jacob said sarcastically as he left Connor's side to have a good look at him. "I'm needed in Russia to complete a task. I'll be leaving today, at night." Connor confessed.

"Well, I wish you all the best, my friend." Sam got up and hugged him. Jacob shook his hand and gave him a smile. I did not want Connor to leave with us being in a situation again, I had to move past that. I walked towards him, putting my hand forward for a handshake and I smiled. Connor eased up, knowing that I forgave him. "Good luck." He took my hand and shook it. "You too...Anastasia.." He said giving a sad smile.

--

Later on at night, Jacob, Evie, Sam, Henry and myself stood with Connor waiting for his train. "Write to us sometime." Evie said politely. "I will." Connor smiled back. "Tell me what happens back in Russia. Will you be going back to America soon Connor?" Henry asked. "After my task, I'll be returning to America, yes." He picked up his suit case as the train was about to arrive in 2 minutes. "Send my regards to everyone back there, for me and Sam." I said holding his forearm. "Yes, please do." Sam agreed. "Of course!" As Connor spoke, his train has already arrived, it was time for him to leave.

Connor hugged me tightly, catching me by surprise. "I'm sorry for everything, take care Anastasia.." He whispered in my ear. "Its alright, all is forgiven. You take care too." I broke the hug and gave him a smile. As he rode the train, we all waved goodbye and wished him luck, hoping he'd write to us soon. To my surprise, Jacob has been quiet the entire time, he seemed to be deep in his thoughts, surely something must be bothering him.

As we got back to our train, Evie decided to go to bed, while Henry and Sam had to go and complete a task, leaving Jacob and I together. "So, you are gonna be back in your own cart I see." I said rather disappointed, I got so used to Jacob being beside me this whole time. "I guess so my love, see you in the morning?" He walked towards me holding my hips. "See you in the morning." I reassured him, as he kissed my cheek goodnight. I walked to my cart and laid in bed, feeling rather empty and lonely. I got used to Jacob's musky smell, his arms around my waist and how he would pull me closer to his body at night.

I flipped and tossed around in my bed as I did not feel comfortable being alone. An hour has passed and I still did not fall asleep.

The cart's door opened letting out a small creaking sound. "Anastasia? Are you awake love?" Jacob walked towards my bed, crouching down near my face. "I thought you were asleep? What's wrong?" I said as I leaned on my elbow. "I couldn't sleep. To be honest with you, I can't sleep because you aren't sleeping with me. May I?" His cheeks went a faint rose colour, as I patted on the side of the bed welcoming him to join me.

I laid my head on his chest, much more comfortable and relieved. "I couldn't sleep too.." I confessed, as he flipped me and looked me in the eyes. "Can I sleep here with you from this day onwards?" He asked whispering loudly, enough for me to hear him. A smile grew on my lips, as I thought he would never ask. "Yes Jacob, please do." I kissed his lips, as he pulled me closer and kissed back.
