...
When I heard her words, I could no longer contain my feelings and I hugged her tightly and thank goodness it was only me because if Bronwyn had done it, she would have broken all the bones in my body.
After a while of hugging warmly, we both separated.
"What do you think of my confession?" – Bronwyn asked red-faced.
It's amazing to see a girl like Bronwyn act like a maiden in love. Not even in the books was I able to see an expression as such of this girl. The film did not mention it for obvious reasons.
"What do you think?" – I asked with a playful smile.
"Don't be bad, Jacob! I'm so nervous I could crush that huge rock over there right now" - she said.
She was pointing to a huge rock that was several meters away from our position and honestly, it was quite huge. Was she really capable of breaking such a rock? Actually, I already know the answer, so it was better not to tempt fate or it's possible that she would want to break me and not the rock; of course, I'm kidding.
"I'm sorry. Actually, I like you too" – I said sincerely.
I liked her from the first moment I saw her in that orphanage in ruins of the present.
"R-Really? And tell me. What do you like about me?" – she asked shyly.
I was amazed at her shyness. Is this girl in front of me really the same Bronwyn who is able to lift and break huge rocks that a normal human could only break with the help of technology? It's amazing to see that some people have facets that don't correspond to their personality. But that's what makes her special too.
"I like everything about you. I think I already said it the other day when we went to the beach, but I like your beauty, your maturity, the maternal love you feel for everyone; even your shy side seems incredible to me" – I said.
I was being sincere. In the movie, Bronwyn was a child, so there was nothing to mention other than that she was quite pretty (I mean the actress). Whereas in the books, Bronwyn was a tomboy and pretty ugly if you ask me. I don't want to offend, but it's the reality and the same thing happened with Fiona. In the film she was a very cute girl, but in the books she looked like a caveman. There are many differences.
However, in real life it is totally different. Bronwyn looks like the 15-year-old version of the actress in the film just like Fiona and her beauty is stunning. No man could help but look at her face even once. And if she wore clothes of the present, she enhanced her figure and she would be more beautiful than a model. The bad thing is that the clothes of this century (1940s) covered practically the entire body and I could not see her amazing figure firsthand. Although... When we have sex, I'll take my time to admire her.
"If you don't stop, I'll die of shame" – Bronwyn said.
She was so happy and embarrassed that she didn't know where to hide. Jacob liked everything about her; She couldn't be happier about it!
It was you who asked me...
"I will say it as many times as necessary. Bronwyn, I love you and I want you to be my girlfriend. I know I'm being a bad person for asking you to be my girlfriend despite having another girlfriend, I know I'm being a bad person by asking you to share me with other girls, but I don't want to let you go and i want you to be mine; those are my feelings" – I said sincerely.
Well. I wouldn't really put it so cheesy. But I'm sure women of this century (1940s) and age love these kinds of cheesy phrases. Although that does not mean that I have told a lie, no, everything I have said is true; only that I would express it in other words.
Hearing that, Bronwyn couldn't contain herself any longer. Her love overflowed through every pore of her skin and her whole body desired Jacob; it was an obsession that overflowed from within her being.
"I love you too!" – she said hugging me again.
We both stayed in each other's arms for a long time. It was a warm embrace where we now expressed our love. It was a strange feeling because I could feel the great love that Bronwyn had for me, an overflowing love that seemed like it was going to materialize at any moment. I am extremely touched by this girl's love for me and I want her to know that I feel the same way about her too. For that, there are two ways to express it: the first is sex (but it is not the time yet) and the second is with a kiss.
"Bronwyn" – I said.
"Yes?" - she said.
We both looked at each other's faces for a moment, Bronwyn's beautiful face almost blinded me. Her beautiful face, her bright eyes and her beautiful blushing face. All this gave off a beauty that did not seem to exist in this world. It was impossible for any man to resist such beauty, so little by little, we both brought our lips closer, until, at last, our lips touched and we began to kiss.
It was an incredible kiss, a kiss that expressed our love for each other, a kiss in which anyone could see the love that surrounded the couple, a kiss, one of the strongest expressions of love. With a kiss, you can make your partner understand that you love them and that you want to spend your whole life with them (at least in this time), and that's precisely what I'll do. From this moment on, Bronwyn has officially become my girlfriend and I will protect her against all odds. I will not allow anyone to harm hwe and whoever tries or has the courage to do so... It will be better for them to prepare for the consequences that this entails because I will not forgive anyone who dares to harm my family and if I have to kill in exchange for the safety of my family and my women, I will do it without a single second's hesitation.
A few minutes passed and we both continued our kiss until then, but it wasn't a lustful kiss, but a kiss of love between two lovers who wanted to express their feelings for each other. After we parted, Bronwyn leaned her head against my shoulder like a delicate maiden while I put my arm around her shoulder, making us look like a 100% couple
"I love you, Jacob" – Bronwyn said closing her eyes comfortably.
"I love you too" – I said with a smile.
I was happy. Happy to have a girlfriend like Bronwyn, but I knew there was a problem. I knew that Bronwyn had a thorn in her heart and as her boyfriend, my duty is to help her. What is it about? Now you'll see.
"Bronwyn, I have a question that I want you to answer with complete sincerity" – I said.
"Of course" - Bronwyn nodded.
She was so cheerful and so comfortable that nothing in this world could disturb her happiness.
"I want to know why you have put on such a sad expression before" – I said.
Hearing this, Bronwyn opened her eyes and separated from Jacob.
"Was it so noticeable?" - she asked.
"A boyfriend can perfectly notice when his girlfriend is sad" – I nodded.
"Although at that time we were not a couple?" – she asked.
"But I noticed it anyway" – I nodded.
Bronwyn was silent for a few seconds. She looked at my face and then at the ground; doubting whether or not she should answer my doubt.
"Bronwyn, I know you're hesitating whether to tell me or not and if you're hesitant it's because it's something very serious, therefore, as your boyfriend I want to know and share your burden with me. Isn't that what you told me before? Besides, now we are family; lovers and if there is something that disturbs your heart, if you also have a cross that you must carry; I want to help you do it" – I said seriously.
Bronwyn opened her eyes in surprise, but she realized that Jacob was right. Now that they were lovers and family, Jacob had to know about her past, a past that was not at all happy and that began that fateful day.
"Follow me" - she said.
Then, she stood and started to walk without waiting for a response.
I followed her immediately and we continued until we reached the orphanage. All the way back, none of us uttered a single word.
"It's here" - Bronwyn said.
"In the orphanage?" – I asked curiously.
"That's right, but in one of the rooms upstairs" - Bronwyn nodded.
Bronwyn motioned for me to follow her again, and we both began to climb the stairs upstairs, but this time Bronwyn seemed to be walking silently and was looking a little nervously to either side; as if she didn't want anyone to see her there.
"What are you doing?" – I asked curiously.
"Miss Peregrine wouldn't really agree with showing you this yet, but you're right, we're lovers now and you deserve to know what cross I'm carrying" - Bronwyn said.
I see.
We both crept into one of the rooms at the end of the hallway. It was one of the first I visited in the orphanage of the present, but I found nothing there because everything was completely incinerated.
"It's here, quick, enter" – said Bronwyn.
Bronwyn opened the door carefully and we both entered without making a single sound.
When I entered the room I could see that it was quite pretty. Decorated in the same way as the rest of the orphanage. However, there was only one thing there. A huge bed. On this bed lay a boy with black hair, pale as snow and with his eyes closed; as if he were sleeping peacefully.
Seeing him, Bronwyn immediately knelt down and grabbed the boy's hand as he began to cry.
"He's my brother, Victor" - Bronwyn said through tears.
I see. I guess this moment had to come at some point.
