Opposites attract

Lets talk

Wednesday's pov:

-"what's for dinner?"
Pugsley asks happily as he skips over to my parents.
-"grandma didn't make it right?"
My parents smile.
-"no don't worry"
My dad replies with a slight laugh.
-"what is for dinner?"
I ask.
-"we figured we'd do like a taco bar tonight"
My mom replies.
-"you know the works, tacos, guacamole, ceviche, exedra"

-"sounds delicious"
I reply, taking a seat.
-"mhmmm"
My brother exclaims happily as he grabs his utensils.
-"steak tacos or just shredded beef?"
He asks.
-"both"
My dad replies, taking a sip of tequila.
-"children come make your plates"
My mom calls out from the kitchen. Me and Pugsley stand up and grab our plates.

-"so, Pugsley, how was school?"
My dad asks, taking a bite of his taco. Pugsley nods.
-"it was fine"
He replies. I frown a bit.
-"do those boys still mess with you?"
I ask. Pugsley smiles.
-"nah ever since the pool incident no one's picked on me"
He says with a slight laugh.
-"glad to hear it"
I reply, taking a bit of my taco.

-"I've even made a few friends"
He continues.
-"oh. Congratulations"
I reply. My mother smiles.
-"how's it been with your friend?"
Pugsley asks.
-"which one?"
I reply. My brother blinks and looks confused but a smile slowly forms on his face.
-"woah you made more than one friend??"
He asks excitedly. I roll my eyes from embarrassment. My mother clears her throat.
-"yes darling tell us about your friends, I don't think me and your father really knew of any other than Enid"

-"yes well I even had a boyfriend"
I reply, pouring myself some tea. My father chokes on his drink.
-"a boyfriend!?"
He exclaims.
-"por qué no lo sabíamosss?"
He asks in a dramatic pout.
-"it didn't last long. He ended up being a murderous monster anyways"
I reply duly.
-"o-ohh"
Pugsley replies nervously.
-"so what of your other friends?"
My mom asks. I think for a moment.

-"well Xavier is the one I got the phone from, oh Pugsley you might actually like this, his father is Vincent Thorpe"
My brothers face lights up.
-"he's an artist who seems to like me"
-"wow looks like our little girl charms both guys and girls"
My father says with a semi astonished look.
-"aside from Enid another close friend of mine is Eugene. We're part of a club at school together, bees are practically his life. Hmm...I suppose another friend of mine is also Bianca. Me and her got into a bit of a power battle because of fencing, school, and Xavier"
-"I trust you beat her in fencing?"
My dad asks, taking a sip of his drink.

-"a-actually no...somehow she was able to beat me. She's certainly a worthy opponent"
-"must be if she can beat my little girl"
He replies. I nod.
-"another semi friend I have is Yoko. Well technically she's more Enid's friend than mine but she's still nice I suppose"

Enid's pov:

After my shower I realize I haven't checked my phone yet. I rummage through my pockets until I find it. There's 4 messages from Wednesday.

WEDNESDAY:
-'I am SO sorry I didn't answer earlier'
-'I had my phone on silent and then had lunch with my parents'

Ugh she's so cute.

WEDNESDAY:
-'but yes this is kinda about when you asked for my number'

Shit I knew it. I fucked up.

WEDNESDAY:
-'I think we should talk later, there's something I need to tell you'

I feel my stomach begin to turn. Is she gonna end the friendship? Should I text her? I feel my heart begin to pound nervously as I pick up my phone.

Me:
-'um hey Wednesday'
-'sorry I didn't respond earlier I got busy with dinner and stuff yk?'

WEDNESDAY:
-'no worries I just got done with dinner myself actually'

I take a deep breathe and steady my heartbeat. If Wednesday was upset and wanted to end our friendship she would've done it already.

Me:
-'so um what's up?'
-'I'm really sorry about earlier yk like after getting your number...'
-'if your upset I totally understand'

WEDNESDAY:
-'no no nothing like that'

Wednesday's pov:

Ok this is it. Time to officially confess my feelings to Enid. I look down at my phone screen and feel my heart begin to beat faster. I don't think I can do this over text.

ME:
-'But umm I think we should call'
-'if that's ok?'

A few minutes pass before Enid replies.

Enid:
-'yeah that's fine, you can call whenever'
-'FaceTime?'

ME:
-'um sure that works'

I take a deep breath and click the call button. It rings for a second before Enid's face pops up on the screen. I feel my face instantly heat up and I fall off my bed.
-"omg Wednesday! You ok??"
I hear her ask.
-"justtt swell"
I reply sarcastically. I pick up my phone and sit back on my bed. Enid bites her lip.
-"so uhh what was it you wanted to talk about?"
She asks.
-"right so um-"
-"I'm sorry I kissed you!"

She interrupts, squinting her face cutely.
-"um huh?"
-"I- I-it was a spur of the moment thing I don't know what came over me it's just I'd been wanting to do that and then you were just right there so- so ughh so I just wanna say I'm sorry"

Enid's pov:

Wednesday doesn't say anything for a moment.
-"Enid Sinclair I like you"
She says suddenly. I fell my eyes widen and my face burn up ferociously.
-"h-huh!??"
I exclaim, unable to think properly.
-"as shocking as it is yes, it's true. I think I've developed feelings for you. Romantic...feelings..."
She says, averting her gaze from the camera.
-"i-"
-"I don't expect you to like me or anything I just...wanted to tell you so...yeah."

I can't bring myself to say anything I just kinda stare at her, blushing like an idiot.
-"I-is this really happening?"
I whisper to myself without thinking. I quickly slap my hands over my mouth.
-"huh?"
-"I- sorry um are you like being for real right now?"
I ask.
-"look I know it's weird but yes so can you just reject me alr-"
-"no! I like you too!"

Wednesday's pov:

-"wait. What?"
I ask. I can feel my face burning up but I can't bring myself to believe her.
-"I um...I like you too Wednesday"
She says with a slight smile. A smile spreads across my face.
-"like...actually?"
-"mhm! Mhm!"
She say's nodding her head like an excited child. My face just continues to heat up more and more.
-"um I've never done this before...what happens now?"
-"um w-well uh..."
Enid takes a deep breath.
-"Wednesday Addams will you be my girlfriend??"
She blurts out.

Enid's pov:

I know we just admitted we like each other but I feel like maybe I was too sudden by asking her to be my girlfriend.
-"um well if not that's ok too just whatever makes you comfortable"
I say, backtracking a bit. Wednesday thinks for a moment.
-"what would us dating consist of?"
She asks.
-"well uh you know like...I HATE to use this for comparison but like you and Tyler. But better!"
I reply, slamming my fist into my other hand.

-"w-we'd kiss...and hold hands and um hug...I'd always be there for you and w-we could go on dates?"
I continue. I feel like I'm really tryna sell the idea to her.
-"w-we could do all that? And it...wouldn't be weird?"
-"not at all!"
I reply, practically yelling. Wednesday laughs a bit.
-"in that case I'd...well I'd love to be your girlfriend"
She says with a smile and I feel a stupid grin grow on my face.
