“Morticia?” called a woman near this very beautiful girl.
“Yes, Mama?” replied the girl. The girl was really beautiful, not to mention that she is tall and slender. The girl talked very softly though her voice was low and icy cold. The girl is in her teens.
“Someone wants to speak with you,” the woman said.
“Who is it, Mama?” the girl asked curiously. She raised an eyebrow to prove her point.
“This little man,” the lady answered pointing into a very handsome man with mustache. The eyes of the girl twinkled when she saw the man. After the lady went away, the man extended his hand to the girl. The girl did not shake it right away.
“I am Gomez Addams,” said the handsome man.
“Morticia Frump,” said the girl showing no expression but inside she was happy that she already met this handsome man. She had seen him ever since they arrived to this funeral and she has been longing to meet him for she had a bit of liking for him. It is one of her rare talents to be aloof even if she was in her deepest desire.
“It is very nice meeting you, Miss Frump,” Gomez said extending again his hand to Morticia and finally, she shook it. But as their hands touched each other, as Gomez felt her soft palm and saw her red fingernails, as Morticia noticed that his hand seemed to be strong, they both pulled their hands quickly because they both felt electric friction in each other’s hand.
There was an awkward silence. Neither of them spoke. Finally, Morticia stood up and began to leave. But then, he grabbed her hand.
“Don’t leave yet,” Gomez nearly pleaded.
“What am I suppose to do here?” she asked. She raised an eyebrow at him. “We do not even know what to say to each other. Let go of me, Mr. Addams.” Morticia was really happy that he held her hand. He closed her eyes momentarily, feeling the strong yet gentle hand of him.
“Gomez, please. Call me Gomez,” he said letting go of her hand. “Stay for another five minutes or so.”
“Sorry, I cannot. Some other time, maybe, but not now. Nice meeting you, Mr. – er, Gomez,” she said and standing up again but he grabbed her again.
“I love you Miss Frump,” he declared straight out. At that point, she stopped. I love you, too, she thought. But she did not say it aloud. Instead, she laughed slightly.
Her laughter made Gomez do a double take to keep his cool.
“Please call me Morticia,” she said. She paused before continuing. “But Gomez, we only know each others name.”
“I do know more about you,” he said. “You are really fond of plants. And you used to where your hair in two braids.”
That really stopped her. What he both said was indeed true. But how did he know? She thought wildly.
“I do love you Morticia,” he insisted.
He called me by my name, she thought. “You are insane,” she said. “Let go of my hand, please.” Then she began to leave but he still have not let go of her hand and pulled her to sit down. Instead of sitting down, she stumbled backward and began to fall. Luckily, Gomez made one swift move and supported her body with his strong arms.
Not only was his hand strong, thought Morticia. But also his arms.
“Look at them,” whispered someone in the crowd, and then in an instant, everybody is looking at Morticia and Gomez.
“Don’t you understand?” she asked softly. “You knew me well, but I have yet to know you.”
But Gomez did not reply. Instead, he kissed Morticia on the lips. She was really surprised. Gomez is kissing me. Then she moved her hands from his neck onto his cheeks and began to dig her nails into his skin. What surprised Gomez was that Morticia kissed him back so passionately. They both stopped to catch their breaths.
Morticia was the first one to catch her breath. “I also love you, Gomez,” she admitted giving him a smile that made his eyes to gleam. She smiled back and as he pulled her closer for another passionate kiss.
The crowd clapped their hands and they both saw something stalking away, but they ignored it and continued their kiss.
A week after their award-winning kiss, Gomez and Morticia were getting married.
As Lurch played a wedding piece in the piano, Morticia started to walk down the aisle. She’s clad in a very beautiful tight black gown. Walking carefully and gracefully, she walked straight to the altar where Gomez who is really handsome under his silk cravat and Cousin Itt.
Cousin Itt started the ceremony.
“I, Gomez Addams will forever worship and devote this beautiful woman in front of me. I will give her my endless and eternal love,” Gomez said while putting on a white gold ring on Morticia’s slender finger.
“I, Morticia Frump, will give this man my unending love. I will give him happiness as I live,” Morticia replied while putting on a white gold ring on Gomez’s finger.
After Morticia finished putting the ring on Gomez’s finger, Cousin Itt said something that meant “You may now kiss the bride”. Before Gomez could kiss Morticia Frump Addams, a brunette girl stormed in the aisle. Unfortunately for the girl, two Addamses, carried her out the ceremony into a mental hospital. When the girl was gone, Gomez grabbed his wife’s slender hips and kissed her firmly. Morticia wrapped her arms around her husband’s neck and kissed back, too.
Then, both Morticia and Gomez woke up.
“It was just a dream,” they both whispered. “But it really did happen.”
“Our first kiss,” whispered Morticia, licking her lips.
“Our wedding,” added Gomez.
“Gomez,” she said softly.
“Morticia,” he whispered into the air.
“Forever,” they both whispered.
