-Atoms in a covalent bond are held together by electrostatic forces of attraction between positively charged nuclei and negatively charged shared electrons. -Electronegativity (see Patterns in the Periodic Table) is the measure the attraction of an atom involved in a bond has for the electrons of the bond.

Like charges repel each other and unlike charges attract each other.
When 2 oppositely charged charges say a proton and electron are separated from each other by some distance, they exert an electrostatic force on each other. Since they have opposite charge, this force tends to be attractive. So, basically, electrostatic attraction is an attractive force which 2 unlike charges exert on each other when they are kept some finite distance apart. Do you an interesting thing, that like charges can also attract each other. However there should be large difference in their magnitude like one is 2C and other is 2000C. Electrostatic attraction is just an electrostatic force that unlike charges exert on each other.
