You know all the usual stuff, don't read if it's illegal or you don't like sex or if bisexual sex offends you. All characters are purely fictional, and any likeness is coincidence. Joshua Glynn reserves all rights to this story, the characters, and the world they live in.
This story is about a young man, the brother-sister twins he is in love with, struggling with the gifts they all possess, and trying to find out where they all fit in the world.

The Girlfriend Problem: Gifted Book Two
Prolog:
Rocky Waters
Joshua
Quite a lot can happen in a year. Me and the twins had started at Crimson University, and things were going great until about halfway through the first semester. That is when our relationship took a right turn Albuquerque. Looking back, if I am honest with myself, the signs had been there a while, but in a lot of ways my relationship with the Twins was still new, or at least it still felt that way to me.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. My name is Joshua Kingston and I have a unique set of gifts... I can read minds and I also have an enhanced strength that I am still trying to get a hold of. Over the last year, I have discovered that I am bisexual and am currently in a relationship with brother-sister twins, Carrie and Casey Toma. We share a mental bond with each other... It was created by my gift, that forms a permanent bond with your soulmate. My Soul mates turned out to be Twins. You might say we truly share a soul between the three of us. The bond has given the twins some of my gifts as well.
I know this may sound like we are chickens, but we were still trying to figure this whole thing out. We did not feel ready to go public with our "strange" three-way relationship yet. To avoid people asking strange questions, officially, me and Carrie were boyfriend and girlfriend, and Casey was my best friend... so obviously, we would all hang out all the time. In private we were all three lovers. The Twins, were not so much into having sex with each other, as they were having sex with me, at the same time... It was an arrangement that so far had been working out great for us.
However, and I think this might have been the foundation for our upcoming problem, to the rest of the world, me and Casey, were just best friends. The only time the three of us were ourselves around anyone, was with my Grandad or my Father, and then later my sister Andria. They were the only ones that knew what was really going on. At the time, it seemed like the best plan. We would want to come out eventually, but for now... why mess with a good thing right?
Dad and Grandpa, both, had been training us. Dad trains mostly with the twins, honing their newfound mental abilities that our bond brings. Both my Father and Grandpa were amazed at their potential. According to Grandpa, they should have only a limited use of the mental abilities we all have, but they have grown to level near our own. Grandpa thinks it is the combination the gifts I give them, plus the natural Twin mental thing that most twins already had with each other, the two abilities feeding off each other.
Grandpa has been teaching all of us martial arts and working on strength control. Grandpa was not sure if the twins would have had the use of the 'strength' I have, he had said it did not always pass with the bond. It is a really rare gift in our family anyway. It had not with my Grandma, she only had the mental abilities, and those were limited. But the twins started noticing the strength within just a couple of weeks after the bond. They were not nearly as strong as either me or Grandpa yet, but we still didn't know where they would start to top out.
And all the hard work had really been paying off. Grandpa had been using a gifting mental transfer with them during his training, so they could feel the techniques the way Grandpa did. This greatly sped up their Training. Casey had only taken a few martial arts classes as a kid but had never went anywhere with it. But now both of the twins had reached a low black belt level in just a little over six months. That was when the real training began.
Starting over the summer, Grandpa had started taking us out once a month to play paintball. He was currently renting out an entire field for us, not too far the campus. He would then use paintball markers (paintball guns) for agility drills, and speed. We have all gotten to a point where we're all good at dodging paint balls... that is right, four hundred mile-per-hour paintballs... we dodge them! And not just from one hundred or more feet away, sometimes from just a few feet. Grandpa runs the markers at higher speeds than it is safe to normally do, by almost a hundred mph, it makes them a lot harder to dodge. And let me tell you, they hurt when they hit, even with our 'strength' offering us a good bit of protection. I play football, and have taken hits that would have injured most players, but got up without a scratch... but high speed paintballs, HURT.
Training aside, the past year had also strengthened our relationship. Our love for each other had just grown into something deep and strong. Some of you may think that we have a rather odd relationship, two people in love with one person, with no real jealousy, or the usual baggage you hear horror stories about. Oh, I am not saying we don't get into fights from time to time, but the nature of our bond means that we don't have the problems most couples have of misunderstanding what the other person is trying to tell you.
Example: "Does my butt look big in these pants?" well most guys, if they are smart, would just not answer... however, through our bond, I know when Carrie is wanting me to say, "Yes, and a Fine butt it is," or "No, No, it looks great on you!" and yes, she has wanted me to give her either of those answers on a given night out depending on what the night's planned events were. I can really see where most guys get screwed without meaning too.
For us, though, this whole relationship thing had just felt, well, natural. It already felt like we had been dating for years. We already knew the likes and dislikes of each other. But that does not mean things were boring. And speaking of not boring, our love making was always full of passion, and excitement. And we were constantly doing spontaneous things for one another, and we were very conscious about each other's needs. Or at least we thought we were.
