Lovers

Reunited

We walked out of the airport, Enid caring my big bag saying she "wants to be a good host", we loaded the bags into her grey Audi and got into the car, I will say I'm surprised, I didn't even know she had her license yet.

"When did you get your license?" I asked her as she started the car.

"About four days ago" she replied and I nodded, trying to hide my sudden unease, I'm gonna die.

Enid drove us through the busy streets of Los Angeles, I couldn't help but to feel nervous, not only because of her driving but because I'm going to her house, I'm not really sure why I feel nervous, maybe because this is the first time I'm sleeping over at a friends? I'm not sure.

"So you got your license four days ago?" I asked, trying to sound as casual as usual as she drove.

"Yeah, but don't worry I will get us home safely" she replied with a smile.

We continued to chat nervously as she navigated the streets. We talked about what had happened during the week we haven't  talked and Enid told me that her little brother, Daniel had broken 2 windows and her mom was currently away on a business trip so her grandparents stayed at their house to help with everything in while she was gone. She also told me that her and Ajax hadn't talked much since that night, maybe a meme or two but nothing more than that and that for some reason made me feel relieved. Finally we arrived at her house.

"See, I told you I would get us here in one pice" she told me as she parked her car proudly.

"Surprisingly" I mumbled under my breath as I stepped out of the car.

"Oh yeah, I might have forgotten to tell you this but we are hosting this big ass bbq in like 2 weeks, for my brother's birthday and the Fourth of July" she said and I nodded, she did indeed not tell me that.

She took my bags from the car and insisted on carrying them inside herself, so she did. She unlocked the front door and gestured for me to enter first.

Inside, the house was adorned with family photos covering nearly every wall. As soon as you stepped inside the door, a grand staircase greeted you. To the left was the living room and to the right was a corridor that I assume lead to other parts of the house.

"WERE HERE" Enid yelled as she stepped inside behind me and rushing into the hallway came one of her brothers.

"This is Ollie" she introduced me to the little boy in front of me.

"Hello" he said, with a smile on his face "I like your glasses"

"Thank you" I reply back, shortly "wanna try them on?" I ask and he nodded quickly.

I took them off and handed them to the small boy that couldn't be older then 5, he carefully took them and put them on, then he turned to the mirror and looked at himself before striking a pose, yup he's related to Enid.

"What's your name?" He asks me, handing me my glasses back.

"Wednesday Addams"

"Like the week day?" He asks and I hear giggling behind me, Enid.

"Yeah, just like the week day" I reply.

"We should get these bags upstairs" Enid then said and I nodded.

We then went upstairs, Enid lead me to her room and when she opened the door, and the room looked just like you would imagen. Colors everywhere, stuffed animals covering her bed, a big tv on the wall, posters of different boy bands on the walls and a big window.

"I know you don't like color, but unfortunately my grandparents are taking the guest room so you have to stay in here" Enid informed me.

"It's okay" I reply.

Enid then helped me settle in, we got a spare mattress from one of the closets for me to sleep on and made the bed and then she showed me around the house, telling me where the basics were. Then my phone went off. Xavier had texted me.

Xavier: Hey Wednesday, I just wanted to see how you where doing and if you are free some time during the break? Would you maybe wanna go grab coffee sometime?

Oh my god, can this boy not take a hint?

Me: No.

"Who was that?" Enid asked me, peeking over my shoulder.

"Xavier, he asked me if I wanted to grab coffee with him sometime" I replied, rolling my eyes.

"Oh, that's stupid, how many times haven't you rejected him?!" I nod as a response.

Me and Enid joined her family downstairs for the rest of the evening. We sat together at the dining table, eating steak that her grandparents had prepared while talking about our day, Enids family did most of the talking tho.

As the night went on we talked more about life at nevermore and what had happened that night, well I didn't really say anything about it, I just listened as everyone else talked about it, carefully touching the scar going across my stomach. 

Later that evening Enid and I retrieved to her room. We took turns taking showers and then got in bed.

"Wanna watch a movie?" She asked me and I nodded.

"Do you wanna come up here or can I come down to you?" She asked me, respecting my boundaries.

"I can come up" I say, standing up and sitting down on her bed instead. She scooted over to make more room for me and then gave me some
Of her blanket to share.

"What movie do you wanna watch?"

"I doesn't really matter"

"How about... white chicks?" She asked me and I nodded as a short response, after the evening with her family I was pretty tired and I'm not sure if I will make it through the whole movie.

"Do you have anything planned for tomorrow?" I ask, trying to stay awake as the movie begins.

"No, not really, do you have any suggestions?" She asks.

"Go grab coffee?" I say and she nods with a smile.

"I'm really happy you're here" she says. "I mean it, I have missed you, even to it has only been a week"

"I'm glad I'm here too" I response, resting my hand over hers.
