Wenclair - After That Night

Chapter 11: A Decision

Enid's POV

I wake up at the sound of my phone's vibration. I shuffled and checked what was making it go off so much. Wow, to my surprise, it was filled with Ajax's calls and apology messages. I rolled my eyes at his typical sorry messages.

He always does the same thing over and over when apologizing. It's getting tacky, exhausting, and soooo not cute. Can't he think of different ways to apologize? Like, bring me sweets, or the milktea I like, which is Matcha, by the way. This is getting tiring and cliche of the typical Ajax.

I thought he was being romantic for once, maybe even...well...rougher with me. Like, don't get me wrong, I like cute guys, but I'd reeeeeally wish that there was some dominance? Maybe some fun, I'm a wolf dammit. I wanna play rough, too.

I sigh as I finish my head ted-talk. I looked at my phone to check the time, and the sun was really getting on my eyes. Is it nine in the morning already? Damn, I must've cried too much to sleep for a few more hours, I thought to myself.

As I attempted to move, I felt a pair of cold hands hugging me. I held them. They were soft, cold, and familiar. I gently turned to see THE Wednesday Addams lying on my colorful bed. She even looks like she's...COMFORTABLE. Like, ACTUALLY comfortable, on MY COLORFUL BED.

Does she tolerate my bed that much? Sh-she's even hugging ME! Oh gosh, I must've slept on her when I was sobbing... SOBBING ON HER SHOULDERS!! Oh no, she's probably so annoyed with me now... I even look horrible with my messed-up makeup!

While I was panicking internally, my phone vibrated again. Resulting in Wens shuffling around as if she was about to wake up. I ultimately placed my phone on DND and did my best to have her go back to sleep.

Dammit Ajax, I'll deal with you later. I better not wake up this little witch so she won't realize what's happening. She'll SURELY smother me when she wakes up, oh dear... Maybe Thing can help?

I looked around to look for the precious hand. I see him sleeping on Wens's pillow. He looks like he's tired, too. I have no choice but to stay like this for a little while.

I stayed still and watched Wens as she stopped shuffling. She didn't seem to remove her braids as well. She also didn't get a chance to change into her PJ's.

She had no choice but to sleep here, hm? What made her sleep here, though, anyway? I mean, it's really surprising to see her SLEEP on a colorfully bed. She'll probably kill me later on if I ever mention that she clung onto me in her sleep.

I sighed of worry and looked at her. I kind of noticed she had a more soft expression when asleep. Vulnerable and not worried about what might come after her inside Nevermore. I do hope nothing will come after her now, she needs to relax and have a good time. She needs a break!

While having my breakthrough of ideas, she shuffled again. I watched as she gently shuffled and curled while sleeping. She's avoiding the sun light, hm? I giggled at her cute position at the moment.

I stood up and moved the curtains to a more suitable spot so that Wens won't get hit by the rays of sun. I looked at her comfortability when I covered some sunlight. She seemed more relaxed when I did that.

I went back to gently sit on the bed. I turned to Wens, and she's wayyyy more cute and preferable when her face is relaxed like this... I hope she'll be more open someday. I mean, I'm not counting much on it, but I'm hoping that she will one day.

She's been through so much, and I just have this sense of responsibility for her. I'm not sure, but it's possibly because... Well... She's my best friend, and I'd do anything to keep her safe.

I examine her features closely and instinctively caressed her. Her face was cold but soft, pale but alive at the same time. Her lips look so cold but must be very soft as well.

As I was about to place my hand on her chin, she held my wrist and pinned me to the bed. I yelped, and she seemed surprised to realize that I was the one touching her.

She looked frustrated? Flustered? Then cold? I've never seen her face shift from one expression to another in under a few seconds.

"What were you doing?" She asks as she lets go of me. She even got off the bed quickly, as she dusted herself, as if removing dirt from her clothes.

Once she reaches to her side of the room, she looks at me expectantly. I looked back, confused for a second. She raised an eyebrow while looking at me up and down.

"Well? What were you doing?" She asks me the second time. It sounds like she's more impatient. I should probably answer her.

"Oh! Well, I uhm..I was just checking to see if you were breaking into hives and if flesh was peeling off your bones, " I giggled as I tried to make up an excuse.

Wens seems to be surprised and slightly amused? By my answer. She probably didn't expect me to remember her colour 'allergy'.

"An amusing answer, now, what has compelled you to sob early in the morning?" She asks. Her tone didn't change much, I think. She may have shown concern? I'm not sure, but maybe? I'd rather not assume on it too much.

"Well, it's just an issue with me and Ajax... It's fine, we'll probably talk it out... Like always, " I sighed and rolled my eyes as I said that.

It's honestly getting tired of trying to understand him. It's like I didn't settle for anyone that would satisfy me or make me happy in some way. I'm not happy or even satisfied in being with him.

My phone vibrates continuously again. I look at it, seeing Ajax's name. Wens doesn't seem happy about it at all and takes my phone?! I try to grab it, but she moves away as she takes it.

"Make a decision, it's either you stay with the gorgon who clearly doesn't make you, well the normal... HAPPY you. Or you can leave him now and have him leave you alone forever. Leaving you to find for another man." Wens proposes it so casually it made my mouth drop slightly.
