CHAPTER 25
Y/N'S POV
I didn't dare go to the library, not after I had rejected Brooke. So for the rest of the week I spent reading in my room enduring the pampering of Yoko with her Divine girlfriend. What was the need to be so cloying? It was Saturday afternoon night when they both decided to go on a date to the town, mentally I made a party because I would get rid of them. But as they walked out the door, Enid would come in by closing it and greeting me energetically.
-Y/N: Oh, I thought maybe you'd go to town with them - I said surprised - I've heard that Xavier and Wenny are going too.
- Enid: Yes... - she walked slowly until she reached my desk and stood next to me - They are going on a double date, I have nothing to do with them today.
- Y/N: Wait... Is my cousin going on a date? - I asked really confused - I thought that after Tyler, she would be away from such dramas for a while.
-Enid: Well, we can't forget that Wedns is a teenager like the rest - she smiled and shrugged her shoulders - It's normal that she wants to go on dates and fall in love.
I nodded and tried to assimilate the truth of the she-wolf's words. My cousin could fall in love and go on dates like normal teenagers. That meant I could too, didn't it? I turned my eyes back to the book I was reading when suddenly I noticed Enid's hands resting on my shoulders, she was obviously demanding my attention and I had no choice but to get rid of the idea of continuing reading.
-Y/N: - I turned to look at her - Do you want us to do something?
- Enid: It depends... Are you planning to keep investigating or are you planning to keep discovering us?
-Y/N: More like the second thing - I got up from the chair - Although we've already kissed on the odd occasion, I haven't given you the opportunity to go deeper into that matter because the books have completely absorbed me. So - I clapped my hands - I'll do whatever you want tonight.
- Enid: Are you serious? - she asked uncertainly - Are there any restrictions? Any rules to keep in mind? - she raised an eyebrow questioning me and crossed her arms - If you don't talk now Addams, then you won't have the right to complain. Understood?
-Y/N: All right, all right... If we have to make a rule, it will be on the condition that we spend the whole night together. Is that okay with you?
- Enid: Good to me? !! - she jumped for joy - You just asked me to sleep together... It's obvious that I want to!
-Y/N: We don't have to sleep... - I muttered to myself.
Enid forced me to take a shower and then made me wear the cat hoodie she had bought me in Jericho. The sweatshirt itself was cute, but I was hundred percent sure that she would look much better on it than on me. When she was satisfied with my appearance, she dragged me to her room and made me take a seat on her bed. Nothing but for the look of happiness continues on his face, it was worth letting her do everything she wanted to me.
-Enid: One of my favorite activities is getting a manicure, but you already know that... It's one of the first things we did together - she smiled - Do you remember?
-Y/N: It was the first time in my life that I wore something colorful - I pulled out the claws - Curious that they were my claws - I smiled - Are you going to paint them again?
- Enid: May I? - she gave me puppy dog eyes to which I replied nodding - Great, I see that tonight you are willing to let yourself go. I like that, we will be able to do a lot of things - she smiled and with Alexa she put on background music - Do you recognize this song?
-Y/N: It's from your favorite band, Seventeen - she nodded as I smiled and she started painting my claws - It's titled "To you", and I think it's the first one you made me listen to when we were sitting near the fountain in Jericho - she stopped painting my nails and stared at me - What's wrong? Did I say it wrong? Maybe I have confused the title of the song with another one...
-Enid: - she shook her head - No, it's just that I'm surprised that you remember and have memorized all those things. I didn't think you would have given so much importance to what I've been telling you and showing you - she smiled nervously - It makes me think that you've been interested in me for a long time.
-Y/N: I mean... It's possible - I said something embarrassed and cleared my throat - It's not like I'm going to say something like I fell in love at first sight or something, because that's not my style. But it is true that you have awakened an enormous curiosity in me since my eyes and yours connected for the first time.
-Enid: - she stared at me once more while smiling sheepishly - For your information, the feeling is incredibly mutual. I never thought I would cross paths with such an intense gaze as yours - she let out a giggle - I mean, Wedns looks at me intensely every day, but it's more with the thought of wanting to murder me - I laughed too - It's true! Last year I became afraid of falling asleep because I thought she would be able to drown in my dreams.
-Y/N: And you weren't wrong, she's totally capable of that and more - I laughed again - But you're her best friend now, you have nothing to worry about.
We stayed for a while listening to her favorite songs while we waited for the nail polish to dry, normally I would have been impatient being so long sitting without moving, but the time next to the blonde was passing frantically fast. When they finally dried off, she ran to his desk in search of his laptop. She got on the bed and asked me to lie down next to her.
-Y/N: What's the plan?
-Enid: I thought we could watch a movie, because we can't have a normal sleepover.
-Y/N: Why not?
- Enid: Because... Are we really going to ask ourselves about who we like and so on? - she smiled and placed a light kiss on my cheek - I think we can skip that activity and just enjoy the tranquility of being together.
-Y/N: It seems like a perfect plan to me - I smiled and lay back enjoying the scent that all the stuffed animals and cushions were giving off on her bed - Everything smells like you, Enid.
-Enid: I know you like it, you won't be able to hide the smile you have on your face right now - she said amused before lying down next to me and playing the movie - It's one of zombies, I know they're your favorites.
-Y/N: You've been paying attention to everything I've been telling you too, huh? - I looked into her eyes and saw her smile as she used her hair to hide one side of her face - Why do you always hide part of your face?
- Enid: Oh, you just know... The fight with the hyde was very hard and left me some really ugly scars - she moved to hide them - Don't give it any importance, let's watch the movie.
For about half an hour I concentrated on looking at the screen and following the movie despite the multiple little screams that Enid was letting out every time a zombie appeared or some character died. She was terrible at watching that kind of movies, definitely horror and suspense were not her genres. The truth is that it was interesting, the plot and everything, but I could not do more than think about the insecurity that the wolf felt with her scars.
It was in a quick movement that I got up and sat down thus attracting her attention. She looked at me confused and then I gently took my trembling hand to her hair and pulled it back to have a complete vision of what she was so self-conscious about. It was the first time I had dared to caress someone, and for a moment I was afraid of being too abrupt and rude. She closed her eyes tightly when she saw that I was observing them in detail and then I took that opportunity to bend down and leave small kisses for her scars.
- Enid: Y/N? - she said in a voice thread noticing how I had practically straddled to kiss her marks - What are you doing?
-Y/N: I don't think they are ugly marks - I stared into her eyes - They are signs of how brave you have been in the past, they are beautiful because of how strong they make you look. Don't hide them, they are another part of you that shows how great you are taking risks to save your friends - I clenched my jaw before continuing - My cousin is alive thanks to you, don't be ashamed of such an incredible feat.
-Enid: It's the first time someone has said something like that to me - she started to tear up - I hate scars on my face, I always try to hide them with makeup and stuff because I feel like they don't fit me... Well, also because of the idea that no one would like me and that I would end up alone for the rest of my life - I covered her mouth with my hand.
-Y/N: That's nothing but nonsense, everything about you is disgustingly beautiful - the window suddenly opened letting in a draft of air - Oh, yes it's windy... I'd better close it again - I said pulling away from her.
-Enid: Y/N - she held me by the wrist - Don't move, I like to have you this close - she suddenly said with overflowing confidence.
I decided to stick to the rule of letting her do whatever she wanted with me that night and I didn't move as she had ordered me to. Then she sat down and I stayed sitting on her lap while our faces were just a few inches apart. My heart started beating fast and just then Enid leaned her head against my chest.
- Enid: Is this what I provoke you to? - she smiled - It beats very hard.
-Y/N: Ah, well... It must be because I love you from here to the moon - I blurted out without thinking.
- Enid: What did you say? - she looked at me surprised - Tell me again, please.
-Y/N: I said I love you from here to the moon, Enid - I said seriously - I don't think I have eyes for anyone but you.
- Enid: Is the moon thing because I'm a werewolf? - she said hugging me tightly.
- Y/N: Huh? No, it has nothing to do with that - I laughed nervously - I had said it in a slightly deeper sense.
- Enid: Explain it to me - she said seriously while pouting at me - I want to know what it is about loving me from here to the moon.
I got off her lap and lay down next to her before giving her the explanation that she was demanding so much from me. In fact, I tried to divert the topic by asking her about the movie we were watching, but she turned off the laptop and insisted again to explain the meaning of my huge confession. I sighed and watched her play with my hair before I started talking.
-Y/N: The heart pumps about 2000 liters of blood a day, which is equivalent to the liters of gasoline that are used to travel to the moon - I sighed ashamed of what I was telling him - So by telling you that I love you from here to the moon, I'm basically telling you that I love you with each and every one of my beats.
I could see how the girl's face lit up a color redder than that of tomatoes and she made an attempt to hide her face among the huge mountain of stuffed animals. Had I gone too cheesy? Definitely yes, it had been too gross and cloying for my taste. Although I don't think I could have found a better way to express what I had started to feel for her.
-Y/N: I think I've gone too cheesy - I sighed - Let me go hang myself in the closet one more time, please.
- Enid: Y/N... - she half covered herself with a cushion leaving only her eyes in sight - I love you too from here to the moon. I think even further, because with you my heartbeat goes stupidly fast and I am able to pump up to 3000 liters of blood.
-Y/N: - I smiled nervously - I think this talk was the equivalent of asking each other about who we like at a sleepover - I intertwined my hands with her - It's been a great night - I said getting comfortable.
-Enid: - she nodded and tucked us both in - I always have the best nights of my life with you - she laid her head on my chest - Let me sleep like this, please...
-Y/N: You know I'm against excessive physical contact, but - I smiled - I promised that I would let you do whatever you wanted without regretting it afterwards. So... Good evening, Enid.
- Enid: Good night, Y/N - she left a light kiss on my cheek before settling back down and closing her eyes to get ready to sleep.
