Unspoken [Enoch O'Connor fanfic]

Chapter 11

I walk down to Enoch's room swinging the door open so quickly he seemed to jump just a little.

"Are you trying to break my door?"

"What is beach day?" I ask ignoring his question and sit down on a stool next to him

"Oh, yeah, that." He says unenthusiastically and gets back to making a new creepy cute doll "wait where did you even hear that from, I saw you only 10 minutes ago?"

I panic trying to think of an excuse on the spot, I can't exactly say 'your dead best friend told me, oh yeah he's been popping up by the way'

"I overheard Claire and Olive talking about it on the way here" I internally pat myself on the back for my quick thinking

"It's exactly what it sounds like, we all go to the beach for the day, we do it every so often" he doesn't bother looking up, I'm sure he's done Beach days numerous times, I'm not surprised it's a boring subject for him, although most subjects are Boeing to Enoch.

"And you go to these Beach days? Enoch who never leaves his room?" I asked in a confused voice

He looks up with a frown "what's this I don't leave the room thing everyone is always on about? I go out for dinner every night do I not?"

"Ok sure but I have only seen you outside in the sun once" I point out

"I have delicate porcelain skin, sue me" he says in a joking tone, he is actually surprisingly tan, golden skin with dark hair and eyes, I've said it before but he really is quite handsome.

"Well what do I need to bring for beach day?" All I can imagine would be to wear a swimsuit and bring a towel.

"Just wear a swimsuit and bring a towel" he says

I Pause for a moment and stare at him before asking "Can you read my mind Enoch, be honest"

He looks up with a serious expression, also pausing for a second before answering, "yes, I can"

I slap his arm lightly "I'm serious dont joke about that"

He laughs at my reaction and leans back in his chair whilst looking at me "of course I can't, I don't think I'd want to you're insane, and that ridiculous question just proves it"

"Oh jeez thanks Enoch you're just the sweetest" I roll my eyes and say sarcastically

He starts working on his doll again, "just to you love" he replies also in a sarcastic tone but that doesn't stop the blush from spreading on my cheeks.

After freshening up I head downstairs to have dinner, and for once I'm there before Enoch, Claire and Olive have already sat down next to each other whispering and giggling at I have no clue what. Hugh is spitting bees towards Horace and laughing at his yells back, Millard is also laughing along. Emma and Fiona I'm guessing are helping with Dinner and that leaves us waiting for Enoch and Bronwyn.

Bronwyn is next to arrive and gives everyone a quick hi before sitting next to Claire and Olive joining in on their conversation.

Emma and Fiona finish setting up Dinner and we all thank them as they do so, as they are doing the final touches Enoch walks in and sits in this usual spot on the end of the table to my right.

Once Miss Peregrine joins we all begin eating.

"Victoria are you excited for beach day tomorrow? I'm so excited I'm going to build so many sand castles and Hugh better not destroy them again" Olive asks and glares at Hugh whilst saying the last part.

"You made like twenty how is it fair that I'm not allowed to destroy a few" Hugh says trying to defend himself

"I'm very excited, I haven't been swimming in quite a while" I smile and hope Enoch translates for me

"Damn so no hope of you drowning then" he says looking at me with a smirk on his face

I frown at him "you know what, I wouldn't recommend getting in the water tomorrow, never know what could happen"

He fakes a gasp "is that a threat Miss Green?"

I lean in closer and smile slightly "it's a promise O'Connor"

Both smirking slightly we stare at each other for a bit, immersed in this little bit we stated before hearing Miss Peregrine clear her throat, we both snap our heads towards the rest of the table with slightly wide eyes.

"I only understood half of what was said but I could still cut this tension with a knife" Emma mumbles to herself with a smirk as she plays with her food.

Horace has bright eyes and a wide smile "I don't think I've been quite this excited for a beach day in while"

Bronwyn with a matching expression nods her head "tomorrow is going to great"
