CHAPTER 10

ENID'S POV

I saw Y/N arrive with Yoko at the pentagon, however instead of walking towards us they went to the library where the vampire said goodbye to the kitsune. Where was Y/N going? Weren't she going to take her lunch? We still had to talk about the reward, although to be honest I hadn't made up my mind yet. What do you ask of someone you've barely known for a week and a half but already feel strangely connected to her? I also didn't want to step out of line and that by asking her to do something stupid, we would end up distancing ourselves.

-Yoko: I'm already here, you can stop crying - she said joining us.

-Xavier: No one would have noticed that you hadn't arrived - he said to annoy her but received a piece of cheese stamped on his face - Divine! It was a fucking joke... Why are you all so aggressive? !!

- Ajax: Right? Spending so much time with the Addams is not good - he let out a giggle - Her attitude is sticking to you.

-Wednesday: That's a good thing, better than leaving everyone stone cold with the little personality you carry - she blurted to Ajax making me unable to hold my laughter - Although, you know... If you are like the rest you end up being nobody. So I think it's more convenient for everyone to stay the way they already are - she said expressionlessly.

-Enid: So many hours putting up with the damn noise of the typewriter... It turns out that you do know how to say coherent things - I smiled - You're great roomie! - I hugged her.

- Wednesday: I said I'd break your arms if you did that in public - she glared at me.

- Enid: Yes, right, I remember it because you told me that while you were making me a brace and immobilizing me - I remembered the pain I had for the next few days to that event - By the way, Yoko. What does Y/N do at the library?

-Yoko: I don't know, she's just as reserved as her cousin - she shrugged - she almost never tells anything about her personal life or what she's thinking.

I bit my lip to hide the disappointment I felt at not knowing about her, although well, I also had no right to demand to know what she was doing at all times. We were just friends, weren't we? Although I was almost sure that the friends didn't look at each other the way we did. Oh yeah? I kept staring Wends straight in the eyes and noticing it she did the same until she splashed water on my face.

-Wednesday: I like creepy things, but that look was too unpleasant even for my taste - she said - What do you want?

- Enid: Nothing, I haven't opened my mouth - I said wiping my face.

No, it definitely wasn't the same kind of look as with Y/N. I tried it with Yoko too, but with those damn glasses I couldn't come to any conclusion. I had no choice but to try it with Ajax who had misunderstood me and was putting his arm around my shoulders. Months ago I would have been screaming with excitement, but at that moment I didn't feel very comfortable with his touch.

- Ajax: Is something wrong, sweetie? - he said in a low whisper - Do you need anything?

- Enid: Hmm, no. Everything is fine - I pulled his arm away from over my shoulders.

-Ajax: By the way, I've been thinking about it and it's been a long time since we had a date. Would you like us to go somewhere special?

To a special place with Ajax? Why did it sound like a terrible idea to me? He was supposedly my boyfriend and it was supposed to be the normal thing, just what we should be doing. But at that moment, the only thing that was going through my mind was the reward with Y/N. Maybe I could ask her to go somewhere fun... Wait a minute, that's exactly what Ajax was asking me. Did I want to have a date with Y/N? Why? No, that was not possible. I looked to Wedns for help and all I got was a nudge.

-Wednesday: Don't breathe so close to my face - she looked straight ahead - I'm bothered by other people's breath.

-Enid: Sorry - I smiled uncomfortably - Uhm... Guys, I think I should go.

-Ajax: But if you have barely touched the food on your plate, you should stay and eat a little more - he smiled - When you wolf out you spend a lot of energy and you need to be strong and healthy.

God, Ajax was so kind and so nice to me... I knew I was terrible at rejecting him, but all that was going through my head was the way Wends damn cousin looked at me and smiled at me when she did something to annoy me. That damn smile with airs of superiority, as if she knew at all times what she was doing, was driving me crazy. Almost no time had passed since our first meeting!

-Enid: I've remembered that I have to talk to Y/N about a matter - I excused myself and left towards the library.

What was I doing? If I had to describe it I would say that I was following my instincts, because everything about me was asking to meet with the kitsune. I looked for her everywhere in the library until I found her chatting with a girl who smiled at her too often for my liking. They both seemed to be talking animatedly, and the stranger was too close to Y/N for how much she kept her personal space.

I hid behind a mountain of books when I saw that they were turning in my direction. Why was I doing that? What did it matter if I was found out? Y/N was my friend and it was not uncommon for me to come and talk to her. I convinced myself and came out of hiding to join them, but then I heard the girl ask Y/N to accompany her to the town. Would they leave together? But in friend mode or in date mode? If it was a date... How long had they known each other for?

-Y/N: Sure, let's go together - she said putting her hands in the pockets of her jacket - Is this weekend okay with you?

-Girl: - she nodded - We'll meet up early in the morning, so we'll have more time.

-Y/N: Perfect - she took out his mobile - Can exchange numbers so we can meet at a specific time?

- Girl: Oh, yes - they exchanged numbers.

I don't know why but I was very upset all of a sudden, I didn't even know that Y/N had a mobile phone. Why didn't we exchange numbers? I didn't feel like watching them chat so richly anymore and I left the library to meet up with my friends again. Maybe going on a date with Ajax wasn't such a bad idea after all, after all Y/N was going to do the same. Right?

- Enid: About what you were saying earlier... Are we going to the town for a walk?

-Ajax: Sure - he kissed my temple - When do you want us to go?

- Enid: Are you okay with this weekend?

-Ajax: It's perfect - he smiled widely before leaving a light kiss on my lips.
