Chapter 20 - That Year 10

Emily glanced over the room and started to pick up the things she will be in need. Her mind felt absent minded for a bit as she don't want to leave her comfy room. But her eyes sparkled with the fact that she will be living with Jake for fortnight.

She gathered all things she wanted to bring but that would make her carry two big bags! It should not be feel by Knight's that she want to live there for always! So she decided to filter the unnecessary things and only get that are necessary.

After her sorting she made up for one medium sized bag and looked around for her room in teary eye like she was never coming back!

She rarely left her home, only when there was work at company or week off at the village. Apart from that home and granny were always neared to her.

Emily carried her suitcase down to see her grandmother was elegantly sitting facing the window and Jake was sitting across her.

'Come here let granny look you for last time!'

Confused and sad Emily pouted with disgrace 'Granny why are you saying like this!'

'Dear I mean before you go to Knight's. It will be first time that you will be away from me for such a long time. How can I live without you!' Mrs. Stark sighed in bewilderment.

'Grandma are you okay? Is there something I don't know?' Emily was getting more and more nervous.

Ignoring her Mrs Stark shifted her gaze towards Jake and said with politeness 'Please take care of my Emily. And forgive her if she cause ruckus but it doesn't mean that you can't discipline if she breaks Knight's rule!'

Emily felt like her grandmother was teaching her son-in-law to be good husband to make her his worthy wife! But stream of thoughts were broken by Jake's words.

'Don't worry Mrs. Stark. Knights will surely take good care of Miss Stark. And I believe that Miss Stark have good manners that will never break any rules of the family as she was lessened by you!'

His sweet words made Mrs. Stark at relief and Emily into blush.

How she will be able to contain her emotions if speak like this everytime! He was definitely her's true crush, she was never amazed by any other person even Samuel. She even changed her schedule and skipped her martial art lessons!

What if she mistakenly relieved her true feeling and he rejected for much better and strong person so she need to be strong enough.

'Emily where are you blinking with no light?' Mrs Stark asked as she saw her granddaughter in trance!

'Huh?'

'Jake is calling you!'

'Hmm!' she nodded a little.

'Grandma take care of yourself and call me if you need. Please come soon. Love you.'

'Love you too! Take care'

As she walked towards the Jake car which was one of the exclusive limited edition . She saw he approached her and took her bag and placed it in the cars trunk and opened the door like a true gentleman!

She was caught in his action and her heart started to pump extra blood!

With small smile Jake looked at her 'Miss Stark!'

'Hmm'

Emily brought her long legs into his cars and glanced at her grandma for the last time!

'Goodbye Mrs Stark. Take care. We shall be leaving now.' Jake left his words in the air with his tall and proud figure.

And after a fraction of minute the car paced at fasted speed and with a vroom it vanished from the sight.
