...
Undesirable girls, blessed and cursed at the same time, that is what they believed they were and that many before their real family, thought about them. The story of the twins is full of misfortunes, many of them, but right now is not the time to remember them, in fact, when Miss Peregrine took them in and gave them a new family, they left those bad memories behind and dedicated themselves to living the new life that Miss Peregrine had bestowed upon them, a happy life that they deserves.
However, Jacob may not have felt like the rest of their family and it is possible that he was disgusted by them, ever since Jacob first entered in the loop, that was always a thorn in their hearts.
After Claire's confession I thought about it for a moment... No, just kidding, there was nothing to think about because everything that should have been thought of was thought of days ago and right now there is nothing to think about, as I decided a long time ago.
"What do you answer, brother?" – Claire asked expectantly.
The three girls were nervous, their hearts were pounding, and they were even sweating a little, never, since they were taken in by Miss Peregrine, had they felt so nervous and it was the first time in dozens of years that they felt nervous.
"What do you think I should answer?" – I said with a smile.
"Brother, don't make fun of us; we're very nervous!" – Claire said puffing out her cheeks.
Did he really want to joke with them at this point? It was a very serious moment!
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, of course I accept. Why wouldn't I want girls as beautiful as you as brides?" – I said with a smile.
At first, the three of them stood still, incredulous at the answer they had heard: Had Jacob really accepted their feelings? Wasn't it a dream from which they were going to wake up the next moment? It must be said that they harbored doubts because they knew perfectly well that they were quite childish, like kids and they believed that Jacob would not accept them because of that, because he believed that he could commit a crime if he date with them, but he didn't actually reject them; He accepted them!
"Aren't my new girlfriends going to give me even a hug?" – I asked sarcastically.
"Brother!" – Claire said immediately.
Those words were enough to wake them up from their trances, returning to reality.
As they reacted, the three rushed toward Jacob and hugged him tightly; as if they feared he was going to go away and disappear.
"Brother, brother!" – Claire said as she hugged me tightly.
Although they couldn't speak, the twins also looked very excited, too bad they couldn't talk at this moment.
"You don't need to hold me so tightly, I'm not going anywhere" – I said while reciprocating their hug.
The girls' hug was so strong that I was even starting to hurt at the waist (which is where their height allowed them to arrive), so I had to politely ask them to hug me a little looser.
The three of them nodded and hugged him gently, staying like this for a long time.
…
Some time later.
The hug lasted for a long time, but after a while, they calmed down and separated.
"Brother, now that we're dating... Could you...?" – Claire tried to say.
"What do you want me to do?" – I asked curiously.
Without saying anything, Claire pointed to her pink lips, indicating what she wanted me to do; what she wanted from me.
"I know I'm like a child and you may think it's not time yet, but for this time, at least for this time... I want one" – Claire said.
Without answering, I smiled, bent down, gently grabbed her small chin and kissed her delicate little lips.
It was a completely innocent kiss, devoid of any lust that might exist, in fact, it was even quite short, but it lasted long enough for Claire to be satisfied and the two of them to express their love.
"Wow, that was... wow" - Claire said dazed.
She never believed that Jacob was going to kiss her, She simply asked for the kiss on impulse, in fact, she didn't even plan to order one today, but the atmosphere they had created was just perfect and she wanted to try her luck: Who would have thought it actually worked?
The twins, jealous of seeing this, tugged at the corner of Jacob's shirt; as if they were waiting for something, but deep down, they knew this was nothing more than a dream. Although they were Jacob's girlfriends now, they couldn't even kiss him, What's more, they couldn't even touch his bare skin or else Jacob would be shocked, that was why they always wore gloves and socks, to avoid touching anyone, even if it was by accident and causing them a kind of shock. To give you an idea, being touched by them would cause the headdress to suffer a small shock similar to that of a taser, that's why they didn't even show their skin, although even if they didn't have that capacity, they wouldn't show it either, after all: Who would want the horrible skin they had? Their entire bodies was covered with scales, it was disgusting: Who in their right mind would want to see their disgusting skin? That is why, even if they did not cause anything, they would cover all their skin anyway.
Seeing that they were pulling the corner of my shirt, I could understand that they were jealous, so I turned and got at their level, to see them face to face, their masks were very ugly, but I'm sure that behind that mask, behind that ugly skin, hides an unparalleled beauty and I'm sure they're both stunning beauties that are hidden under a disgusting layer of scaly skin.
"Girls, I want you to listen to me carefully because I'm going to tell you something very important" – I said staring at them.
The twins stood completely still, staring at Jacob to see what he was going to say.
"I want you to know that, although I can't kiss you now like I did with Claire, in the future I would can, in the future I will find a way not only to kiss you, but also to help you get your true faces back, right now I can't explain how I'm going to do it, but believe in me, one day, your faces will return to the way they were before you awakened that peculiarity. Believe in me, I will make it" – I said convinced.
The twins remained static in place, like statues that couldn't move. Was Jacob really going to find a way to bring them back to their original faces? Is that what they had dreamed of all these years; since they awakened their peculiarity. It should be said that they were not born that way, but were born normal, like any other child, but their peculiarity began to manifest itself when they were 10 years old, at first, they simply grew scales that could be easily removed, but as time went by, they became like that, causing chaos in the place where they lived, a sad story, very sad, at least until Miss Peregrine saved them and took them to the orphanage, there, they lived happily and without worries.
*Note: I feel very sorry for the twins so I want to make them happy. Don't you think the same as me? Think in it carefully.
Hearing my words, their hands trembled.
"Girls, if Brother Jacob says he will help you get your face back, believe him, he will do it; I'm sure!" Claire said.
She blindly believed in Jacob and If he said he would help them get their face back, she was sure he would, she had no doubt about it.
The twins thought about it for a moment and decided to believe Jacob's words, they didn't know how Jacob could accomplish something so complicated, something they have tried for years, but now they were his girlfriends and as his girlfriends, they must believe in him.
"I promise you and I always keep my promises" – I said.
Then, I brought my lips close to their masks and kissed them both.
"This is the only thing I can do for now, I hope that for the moment you will be satisfied with this" – I said with a smile.
No one could see their expressions, but underneath those masks, they had blushed, because Jacob had kissed them, yes, it had been over their masks, but... He had kissed them!
"Girls, i would really like to continue spending time with you, but I have to go" – I said.
I didn't want to ruin the atmosphere, but I have to come back for today.
"What? Can't you stay a little longer?" – Claire asked dissatisfied.
Now that they were his girlfriends, they wanted to spend time with Jacob. It was normal, right?
"I promise you that tomorrow I will spend more time with you, but my father is a little unwell and I have to go help him" – I explained.
There was no need to hide the truth.
"Really? what's wrong with him?" – Claire asked curiously.
Now his father was also her family, after all, she was now Jacob's girlfriend, and therefore her father was part of her family, Claire was thrilled by this fact, although they didn't know him and probably never would, just having another family outside the loop excited her.
"He's a little depressed about something that's happened to him recently and I want to try to cheer him up a little bit, but don't worry because whatever happens, tomorrow I'll be back and we'll have a good time together" – I said.
Explaining the whole story to them would be boring and tedious.
"I see, then we'll walk you to the exit of the loop" – Claire nodded.
The twins nodded as well, they also agreed to Jacob leaving, after all, if her family was unwell, it was normal to help her, they would not be angry with Jacob for coming to help his father, although they were somewhat disappointed that they couldn't spend the rest of the day with them.
"Thank you" – I said in a grateful tone.
Next, we walk to the exit of the loop and after saying goodbye with another kiss from my cute girlfriends, I came out of the loop hoping to try to help my father one last time.
