Have a good day :)
...
There was a very good atmosphere between us.
After eating, Fiona got up and looked at me.
"Do you want to see what I like most about this place?" – she asked shyly.
The words from before still echoed in her mind, but she couldn't afford to stay daydreaming all day.
"Of course" – I nodded.
Fiona nodded as well and picked up the other little bag that was tied to the other side of her body.
"These are flower seeds that I was able to gather before Miss Peregrine saved me. Unfortunately I can't collect any more seeds because the next day they will disappear. However..." – she said.
Then, she picked up a pile of seeds in her hand and spread them gently on the ground, a little away from the two fruit trees from which fruit was still hanging.
Apparently, like everything in this loop, the items that the Peculiars collect within the loop, will return to their original place after the restart; so it doesn't matter if Fiona collects new seeds or not because the next day and after the reset, they will return to where they were previously. However, all this makes me wonder one thing. If everything restarts. Wouldn't it mean that the food in their stomachs would too? After the restart the food would return to the store. I'm sure it works like that, but then... Don't they feel an excruciating hunger after the reset?
However, I think I know the answer. They probably ate before entering the loop and just before the reset, so when they restart the day and even if the food returns to where it was at the beginning of the day, they do not feel hungry because they ate before entering the loop. That is what makes the most sense.
"However, I managed to collect these precious ones before entering the loop. These little ones have always been with me for all these years and whenever I feel a little sad or melancholic or just feel like being alone, I come here and surround myself with all of them" – said Fiona.
Then, Fiona put her precious hands on the ground and in a few seconds, the entire ground, previously completely devoid of any plants, began to be covered with beautiful flowers. Flowers whose seeds sprouted and grew immediately; beautiful flowers of all colors. I'm not an expert on flowers or plants, but I was able to recognize some of them, while others I just didn't know about completely.
"Being among these little ones makes me feel at peace..." – Fiona said.
The atmosphere was filled with a very good aroma. These flowers gave off such a good smell that it was even intoxicating.
"What do you think?" – Fiona asked.
She looked a little nervous, as if she wanted Jacob to praise her or something.
"They are beautiful and smell wonderful. No wonder you come here to relax" – I said sincerely.
I was not lying. I was being completely sincere. The flowers were beautiful and the aroma was intoxicating and I totally understand why Fiona liked being in this place so much. This place, full of beautiful flowers, emanated a feeling of indisputable peace. A feeling of peace that would calm down the most ferocious beast. It even made you want to sleep.
"Yes... Also, because I usually eat here when that happens, I sit; lean against a tree and contemplate the landscape" – said Fiona.
Then, she leaned against the trunk of the apple tree and sat down.
"Can I sit down too?" – I asked.
"Of course" – she nodded.
Without a second thought, I sat next to her, gazing at the beautiful field of flowers that stood before us. A beautiful field of flowers that emanated peace. A beautiful field of flowers whose aroma was intoxicating. A beautiful field of flowers that...
But I couldn't think of anything else because my consciousness vanished completely.
The sweet aroma and the breathtaking views had made them both fall asleep. Fiona rested her small head on Jacob's shoulder while Jacob gently rested his head on Fiona's. Seen like this, they looked like a newlywed couple. A couple who were on their honeymoon. A couple in love.
The time flew and it was already sunset. Jacob and Fiona had slept right up until this moment, when suddenly, they both woke up.
"It looks like we've fallen asleep" - I said.
"Yes... it happens to me often" – she nodded.
I couldn't contain myself. I fell asleep without even knowing or wanting it. It felt so good to be here. The beautiful views, the intoxicating aroma and the presence of a beautiful girl next to me. All this made me relax and fall completely asleep. But now, awake, I was not nervous or hurried to get up, but sat there, watching the beautiful sunset.
The sun was setting and we could see it perfectly because the roof of the greenhouse was almost completely broken, allowing us to see the entire exterior without problems. The beautiful landscape and the position we were in, began to create irremediably, a romantic atmosphere between us.
Fiona was beginning to feel more and more attracted to Jacob. She already fell in love with him from the first time she saw him and it had nothing to do with whether he is Abe's grandson or not. Fiona fell in love with Jacob, the person and not Jacob, Abe's grandson. To her, Abe was a member of her family and a very dear friend. But unlike Emma and Olive, she was never in love with Abe, she simply saw him as mentioned before, her family and her friend. But with Jacob it was different.
It wasn't just his appeal (though that played a small role as well), but because of the aura that surrounded him. It was hard to explain, but his very presence made Fiona enraptured. They had been together for only a few days, but her love for him was already irrepressible. Every time she saw him she wanted to give him a hug, to kiss him, to confess her love. But her shy and withdrawn personality prevented her from doing so. Besides, she didn't want Jacob to think badly of her, either. And there was also one more problem, all the girls in the house liked Jacob. The good thing is that they agreed to share him. The bad thing is that each one had to make an effort to seduce him, something very difficult for Fiona, a shy girl who had a hard time relating to others. How was she going to seduce and make Jacob fall in love with her? It was almost impossible!
After a lot of thought, the girls came to a conclusion. Each girl would go on a date with Jacob and they would have to find a way to seduce him. The first was Olive, followed by Emma and then her. She had three long days to think about what she should do and this is what she came up with. Take him to her favorite place. She was sure that this would create the atmosphere she wanted to create.
But now, in this environment, surrounded by her favorite flowers and with the sunset before her eyes, the perfect environment had been created; she could not afford to miss this opportunity.
Watching as the sun set and surrounded by these beautiful flowers, our hands touched and without thinking twice we intertwined our hands. As we do this, we both stare at each other. Fiona's beautiful face was a few inches away from my face and maybe it was because of the atmosphere that had been created or something else, but our faces were getting closer little by little until our lips touched, sharing a small innocent kiss that didn't last more than a minute.
"I'm sorry... I didn't want to kiss you against your will" – I said quickly.
I didn't want her to think I'm some kind of pervert or something.
"Don't worry... I liked it... besides, I also collaborated..." – she said shyly.
We both looked at each other again and shared another small kiss. Fiona's lips were sweet and her scent was as addictive as that of flowers, making the kiss for much longer.
But the lack of air meant that we had no choice but to separate.
"I like you, Jacob and I want you to be my boyfriend..." – Fiona said.
She said it; she was able to confess her feelings; not even she herself knew how she had mustered up the necessary courage; but she did; she confessed her feelings she has for Jacob!
"I like you too. You're such a beautiful girl. Kind, caring, calm and I love your personality; I would like you to be my girlfriend" – I said.
It seems like this time it was going to happen. This time I was finally going to have my first official girlfriend (Olive and Emma don't count until they clear their feelings for me).
"Yes. I'll be your girlfriend" – she nodded.
Filled with irrepressible joy and euphoria, she kissed Jacob and the two shared their first kiss as a couple.
"Fiona. You must know that Emma and Olive also confessed to me and..." – I tried to say.
"I know and I don't care- I know they're in love with you too and I don't mind being the third or something. For me, the important thing is to be with you, for me the important thing is that you love me and always be with me" – she said.
Her feelings were so strong that they even overwhelmed and moved me. For some reason I even felt my soul pick up on her feelings for me. Is that possible?
"I love you too, Fiona and I promise to always be with you, protect you and love you. I will never be separated from you and I will protect you with my life" – I said.
For me, the family is the most important thing, so you can imagine how I will treat my women. To begin with, I will treat everyone equally regardless of whether they have become my girlfriends before or after, for me there is no distinction. My women are untouchable and if someone with bad intentions tries to harm them, I will annihilate that person without compassion. I will protect my women with my life if necessary. That's how deep my love is. I'd be lying if I said I'm not possessive, but I'm not going to limit my girls and let them do what they want to do. I will never impose anything on them, they will be free to do what they want and desire and they will have my full support. As a defender of gender equality, I will never oppress a woman and deprive her of her freedom. That's how deep my love and respect for my women (and for all women in general, but especially for my women) is. I'd rather die than let something happen to them. That's how deep my love is...
