Welcome to Assassin's Creed

Taken

It had been an entire month since I first stepped into this world, Jacob had been training me in hand to hand combat and was surprisingly a good teacher. He was patient and never hard on me whenever I messed up. Not like he had to since whenever I didn't block his attack I ended getting knocked to the ground. Jacob always encouraged me and I could tell he felt bad everytime he hit me but I reassured him to not go easy on me and if I was going to survive here the training needed to be as realistic as possible. When we first started I felt like my limbs were going to fall off but after a whole month of constant training, my body became lean. Hey I wasn't complaining, I looked damn good in the mirror and of course, Jacob made a comment about it as well when we were going to bed one night. I felt too good about myself to make a remark so I said thank you for once and the look on his face was priceless. Anywho, I had been helping the twins as well, Jacob with Starricks Soothing Syrup and Evie with the Shroud of Eden. In general, it had been an interesting month, to say the least.

"Are we going to train today?" I asked Jacob as I looked up from my book, we were both sitting on the loveseat but my legs were resting on his lap while he was busy checking the mechanism of the hidden blade on his gauntlet. Hey, it was his idea the first time he pulled my legs onto his lap but I have to admit I found myself doing it automatically whenever we were lounging on the loveseat, in an odd way it brought a sense of comfort whenever we did this.

"Sorry not today love, I'm close to finding out who made the syrup and I might have a lead so I was planning on looking into it today." He responded as he looked up at me with apologetic eyes. I gave him a reassuring smile as I saved my spot in the book before closing it.

"It's okay no biggie, I know Evie has been wanting to head to the bookstore with me so this is the perfect chance."

"Well I guess that's understandable since it's always good to spend time with the future sister in law."

"If that was a proposal it was a lousy one."

"Oh don't worry the real thing will be with a full moon to make the ring glitter."

"Don't forget the rose petals and candles, a nice view wouldn't hurt either."

"Anything for the future bride," Jacob said with a wink as he grabbed my hand and kissed the back of it. Yeah, this is where our little banters lead to now, with his constant flirting it didn't take long to get used to this type of back and forth.

"How long will it take until you guys finally kiss?" Evie asked with a smirk as she walked into the cart.

"Hey I'm trying here Evie but she's playing hard to get."

"Come on (Y/N) just give in already, you know it's going to happen sooner or later" Evie teased and I looked at her with an arched eyebrow.

"Oh? Like how you should give in to Henry because of the major crushes you guys have on each other?" I responded innocently making Jacob laugh loudly while Evie blushed.

"Lunch should be done so I'll meet you both in the dining cart." She said quickly before retreating to the dining cart. Jacob was still laughing as he gently patted my legs.

"Oh love that was good, her face was priceless," Jacob said with a little giggle as I removed my legs from his lap to stand up.

"It's only fair, and what better way to bond then to tease each other about the men we might possibly like," I said with a smile and Jacob gave me a thoughtful look.

"So you like me?"

"I knew you were going to say that so that's why I said possibly it's not a yes or a no."

"So it's a maybe?"

"It could be a maybe, a hell no. You have no way of knowing."

"I could certainly take a guess love."
