The Raven and The Wolf

Chapter 3: Is it...love?

The next morning, they were holding on to one another as if they finally found peace. Enid woke up first, she looked down at her chest to find Wednesday's head cuddled into her, her soft breathing ticking her skin. She looked relaxed, all her features were soft and she had a light blush on her cheeks. She was...breathtaking...Enid felt like the luckiest woman in the world right then and there. She wouldn't change anything for this moment, here with Wednesday cuddled into her arms, where she could protect her. Her strong-willed and independent Willa... She smiled fully, almost letting out a giggle but repressing it so as to not wake her sleeping love. She placed a soft kiss on top of Wednesday's head and closed her eyes holding her closer...

It was Wednesday's turn to wake up this time, she tensed up a little until her sleepy mind realized she was safe...safe in Enid's arms... Her head was fighting between overthinking and letting go, she had never felt this way before it was a bit overwhelming to define yet Enid made her feel safe, whole, as if she had been missing a part of herself all her life and she had finally found it in Enid, it was just Enid...her soul felt complete... "Enid," she sighed contently. She nuzzled her face into her, taking in her scent and smiling, as she pecked kisses onto her neck...

Enid stirred awake, stretching and with a smile plastered on her face, "Morning, sleepy head." She said kissing Wednesday's forehead. Wednesday leaned into the kiss and lifted her head to kiss her lips. The kiss was different, it was slow and adoring, as if they wanted to fill every space they had left while they were apart. A loud clank coming from the kitchen broke them apart. "Shit! I forgot Albert was coming in today..." Enid said a bit shaken.

"Albert?" Wednesday questioned frowning, a glint of jealousy in her eyes.

Enid giggled, "My butler, silly. Please don't be jealous my love..." she pecked her lips lightly and then whispered in her ear, "Although, you do look hot when you're jealous..." her voice was low and husky sending a chill down Wednesday's spine. She took advantage of their position to kiss Enid's pulse point and nibble on her ear, licking the shell of it slowly... Enid gasped and closed her eyes as she ran her hands down Wednesday's back, pulling her closer. Their naked bodies tingled with excitement as they pressed together... "The mark you have left on me is indelible, mi amor... I just cannot get enough of you..." Enid pulled back to look at her, remembering her words from when they were at Nevermore, she cupped her face and kissed her deeply, Wednesday's hands holding her tight, kissing back, sliding her tongue in her mouth, licking every inch... Enid turned them over so that she was on top, laying her down softly on the pillows, tracing kisses down her collarbone, sucking down, leaving a dark red mark. Wednesday moaned, loudly as Enid grabbed her breast, playing with her nipple between her fingers... "Dios mio, Enid...Me vuelves loca..." Enid smirked, "I love how I can make you speak Spanish like this..." She was about to go down on her when they heard a knock at her bedroom door... They froze...

"Ahem... Ms. Sinclair, sorry to interrupt but...your breakfast served..." Albert said from behind the door.

Enid flopped on top of Wednesday, hiding her face between her chest... "Thanks, Albert..." she groaned. "Oh!" She stood up, mouthing an apology to Wednesday as she looked at her with raised eyebrows... Had this happened at her home, anyone who dared to interrupt them, would be dead on the spot.

Enid walked around the room naked, looking for her robe. Wednesday's mood shifted completely when she saw the whole of Enid's body...her toned abs and shoulders, her strong-looking legs, was that a feather tattooed on her ankle? "Liking what you see?" Enid said with a smirk. Wednesday was pulled from her staring as Enid tied her robe around her. "I..." she managed to say.

"We'll continue this in a minute, η ζωή μου" Enid flashed her a toothy smile and then poked her head out of the door.

She poked her head towards the kitchen area, "Albert, the food looks amazing." She hadn't realized how hungry she was until she saw the food. "Do you mind making an extra serving...for my..." What were they...they really hadn't talked much...she zoned out as she thought...

"I'd gladly make some more for your guest, Ms. Sinclair. Would you be eating in the bedroom?" Albert held his composure and politeness.

"Yes! Also, thank you, you're a lifesaver!" Enid beamed at him. She was assigned a personal butler to help with her diet and cleaning while she had to film. She really liked Albert and had been working with him since almost the start of her career. She fought the urge to hug him and ran back inside.

Wednesday was up, wearing only her shirt... "I was thinking...I do not really have any clothes to leave in that are not Raven's..." she said awkwardly.

"I...hadn't thought of that..." Enid answered, "I can lend you something..."

Wednesday glared.

Enid rolled her eyes, "I do have black, white, and gray colored clothes Wends..." she giggled, walking straight to her and grabbing her by the collar of her shirt... "Besides, we're not done here..."

Wednesday stood straight, looking back at Enid's eyes, "No, we are definitely not done here..." she leaned in closer, "I want to hear you moan my name again and again..."

Enid's knees buckled, her brain becoming mush... "Wends..." Albert was knocking again... "I'll get the food so we can eat and get back to this..." Wednesday glared daggers at the door... "Come on Willa! Albert is just doing his job, he's nice, I promise!" she chimed, running to get the door.

"Hey, Albert!" She greeted him again. He was pushing a cart that held their breakfast. I dish of fluffy pancakes, coffee, an omelet, some nuts, juice, and a small vase with 2 red roses... "Wow..." Enid's heart filled with appreciation towards Albert. "Thank you, really... Everything is, just...perfect..."

Albert smiled at her, "Is there anything else you need, Miss?"

"Nope! Everything is great!" Enid said, bouncing on the balls of her feet.

"I'll be cleaning around the apartment then, let me know if you'll be needing anything else," Albert said with a bow and walked away.

Enid pulled the cart into the room and set everything on the small table she had there. Wednesday must have gone to the bathroom because she was nowhere to be seen. "Willa?"

"I shall be right out," Wednesday answered.

Enid waited, taking a rose into her hand, and playing with it while she waited for Wednesday to come out.

When Wednesday emerged, she was wearing one of Enid's smallest white t-shirts and grey shorts, she looked cute but her clothes still looked a bit big on her small frame, to which Enid giggled. She also looked refreshed, she had combed her hair and wore it in a loose ponytail, her face was bare, and she had washed off all her makeup and looked ethereal... Enid's jaw was on the floor, her eyes wide at the beauty in front of her. "You are drooling..." Wednesday pointed out, smirking. Enid closed her mouth and walked towards Wednesday, "I can't help it, Willa, you're a literal goddess among mere mortals..." She handed her the rose and smiled sweetly at her. "Willa, I...I don't wanna sound all Disney princess but...I love you..."

Wednesday blinked, it had finally clicked in her mind...love...Enid was her one true love... "Enid..." she said stoically, "In the eternal abyss of my heart, where darkness reigns, spiders have weaved their tapestries of affection, I have found myself drawn to your bubbly presence. You Enid, with your peculiar quirks and unsettling charm, have managed to capture my attention since our years at Nevermore, amidst the mundane and the ordinary. While my emotions might remain shrouded in shadows to everyone else, know that within the depths of my being, a sentiment akin to affection, or perhaps something eerily resembling it, has taken root. If I must venture into the realm of sentimentality, I would dare utter these words: You Enid Sinclair are the sun to my moon, the brightness in my gloomy days, the color to my monochrome self. And so, in the language of the living, I suppose that translates to... I love you." She held the rose between both their hands and kissed the outside of Enid's. Enid was...crying...she let go and hugged Wednesday with desperation and love, just like that night after their fight with the Hyde...
