As Elsa drives up to the shop, she looks down at her dash clock and sees that it was 4:39. As she looks up her eyes land a woman leaning over a car engine. Her face is turned away so Elsa can not see what she looks like, but the girl's body is something to long for. She has long raven hair that is braided down her back.
She has strong arms, that at the moment, looks to be tightening or loosening a bolt on the engine, and her grey shirt has rode up so that a toned stomach covered in tanned skin, and looks so smooth.
Elsa's mouth goes dry as her eyes drift down the rest of her to see long, tan legs clad in a pair of black jean cutoffs.
Elsa is ripped from her thoughts when a hand falls on her shoulder and she jump. Elsa looks up at the big man next to her and glares.
"Don't scare me like that Kristoff, seriously. You almost gave me a heart attack."
"I said your name like five times, but you were to busy staring at my new mechanic." The blonde says with a laugh, backing up to let Elsa out of her car.
Standing and closing the car door, Elsa, shaking her head, turned to face the woman working on the car. She had stopped working and turned to look at the two of them.
The woman had emerald eyes and long lashes. Her hair had come loose and some bangs hung in her eyes and stuck to her forehead. Her full lips were slightly parted as she breathed deeply.
Noticing Elsa's staring, she raised an elegant eyebrow in a question. When Elsa didn't look away, she scanned Elsa's figure and winked. Elsa felt a jolt of electricity through her body and shivered.
The mechanic stood up, a smirk forming on her lips. She walked over to Elsa and held out a hand. "The name's Lindsey, Lindsey Summers."
Elsa could feel the heat crawl up her neck. She reached out and took Lindsey's hand.
"I'm Elsa." She said sheepishly. Elsa was not used to being caught off guard or caught staring, but there was something about Lindsey that was so enticing.
As Elsa pulled her hand back she looked. It was covered in grease. She looked up at the sound of laughter. Lindsey was smiling and shaking her head.
"Sorry about the hand. Forgot to grab a rag before I came over here." Lindsey said as she wiped her hand off on her jeans shorts. Which only seemed to dirty her hands more.
"No, it's fine. I don't mind getting dirty. It's the cleaning up that I hate. I can never get those grease stains out of my clothes. That's why I stopped working on my car and started coming here."
"You sure it wasn't me and Anna insisting that I could do it and that it would take half the time it took you to fix it." Kristoff said with a grin as he walks back to the office. As he goes, he looks over his shoulder at Lindsey and says. "Elsa is Anna's sister, The Ice Queen."
Elsa glares at him as he disappears and turns back to Lindsey. The amused look on her face wipes away all the anger on Elsa's face and is replaced with an embarrassed on.
"They only call me that because I keep my house so cold." Elsa looks at the ground the back up when she hears Lindsey laughing once more. Her laugh was the sweetest sound that Elsa had ever heard.
"It's fine, I like the cold too. So, what's wrong with your car. I think it's safe to assume that this wasn't a social call since neither Kristoff nor Anna said anything about you coming."
"Uh, what? Oh, yeah, the car keeps making a grinding when I start the car. I think it might be the starter." Elsa says as she gestures toward. Her usual confidence coming back.
"Why don't you drive the car into the shop and onto the lift, so it'll be easier to get under the car later." Lindsey said, nodding in the direction of the empty garage.
Nodding, Elsa walks back to her car and hops in. As she pulls into the garage, she can feel Lindsey's eyes on her. Once the car is on the lift, Elsa turns it off and hops out.
"Do you want to wait in the office while I look at your car or would you like to take a rental and I can call you when I have this figured out?" Lindsey says as she lifts of the hood of the car and turns to hook up the light.
"I usually help Kristoff or Sven while they work on the car, if you don't mind. If you do, I can go wait in the office." Elsa says as she leans on the car. Lindsey looks up and nods.
"I don't mind if you stay, but you might want to put something on ever your clothes."
"Nah, it's fine, these are the clothes I usually work in." Elsa says as she takes off her jacket, to reveal a stained t-shirt. Throwing her jacket into her car, she walks over to the hood and nods.
As the two get to work to find the problem they fall into a rhythm and soon they determine that it wasn't anything on the top of the engine so Lindsey raises the car and so they can crawl underneath it. As they do so Elsa realizes that she will need to take off her t-shirt so she will be able to crawl underneath the car without getting caught on anything. As she started to take off her shirt, LIndsey's eyes widen and she looks worried.
"It's okay. I have a tank top underneath this shirt. I don't want it to get caught on something and rip." Elsa explains to lindsey as she continues to take off the shirt. The t-shirt joins the jacket in her car and she follows Lindsey under the car.
As they continue to search for a problem, Elsa notices that Lindsey is having trouble focusing on the car. She decides she will have a little fun while she is at it. Every chance she gets she brushes her hand against Lindsey's and every time Lindsey stutters out an apology. Soon they discover that Elsa was right, it was the starter that was the problem.
They crawl out from underneath the car and Elsa stretches and looks at her watch. Seeing the time, seeing that it is 7:00, she wonders where it went. When Elsa looks over at Lindsey she sees she is staring and tries to catch her eye, and when she does Lindsey blushes and mumbles something about going to the order a new starter for the car.
Elsa chuckles to herself and goes to tell Kristoff that they found the problem and that Lindsey was ordering the part. As she walks in she sees Kristoff standing with Anna pressed against his front, lip locked.
"Ew ew ew ew, stop it! When I open my eyes your hands better be to yourself. And I mean it." Elsa says as she covers her eyes. That is not something she wanted to see. She slowly lowers her hands and opens her eyes to see both of them smiling and shaking their heads.
"You know, you're going to have to get over seeing us kiss. Because on our wedding day you'll be seeing lots of it." Anna says with a smile, walking over to hug Elsa. As Elsa wraps her arms around Anna, she shakes her head and pouts.
"It's not just me being grossed out by you two kissing, it's you two kissing. I can be overprotective if I want to be."
When Anna lets go of Elsa, she goes and leans against Kristoff's chest and he wraps his arms around her. Elsa looks for a chair and sits down. Elsa opens her mouth to ask about Lindsey but changes her mind.
"Me and Lindsey found the problem. I was right, the problem was with the starter and she is ordering a new one with me." As soon as Elsa finishes her sentence Anna is smiling ear to ear.
"So you have met, I hope you guys like each other. I mean as friends, but if you like each other more than friends that's fine, well that's awesome, but if you don't like each other that's okay too..." Anna rambles on and then seems to stop, noticing Elsa's confused look.
"I don't know what you mean, are you saying you hired her for me, because you want us to be together?" Elsa says as she sits back in her chair watching Anna. As she says this Lindsey walks in, keeping Anna from answering the question.
"Um, Elsa, that starter will be here sometime next week, so if you want to take a rental or to take your car, that's up to you, but I would suggest leaving it here, up to you though."
Elsa mulls it over for a few minutes and decides that she will keep her car until the starter comes in.
"I'll take my chance with the car. I would like to help you put in the starter, if that is okay with you."
"Okay, and that's fine, you seem to know your way around a car. I will make sure to call you as soon as it's in." Lindsey said nodding looking around, seeming to search for something. "And if your car gives out on you before the part comes, call me, I'll pick you up with the tow truck out back."
Elsa reaches out to take the slip of paper and their hands brush and it was like a spark of electricity was sent up her arm. Elsa looked up and saw that Lindsey was staring at her. Their eyes held Lindsey started to lean forward.
And they were interrupted by Anna clearing her throat. Lindsey looked at the floor, a light blush gracing her face, and Elsa looked at Anna and blushed.
"I guess I'll go now. I'll see you and Kristoff this weekend at mother's. Love ya." Elsa said as she stood from her chair and waved bye to Anna. She looked at Lindsey one last time and sees she was still staring at the ground.
Elsa walks out the door and back to her car. Realizing that it was still on the lift she started to lower the car.
When the car was back on the ground she climbed in and threw on her shirt and jacket. She then reached for her phone and debated putting Lindsey's number in or leaving it as it was on the paper. She decided to put it in the phone and started the car and pulled out.
On the drive home she thought about the raven haired woman and wondered about her past and how she got hired by Kristoff. She had a suspicion that Anna had a hand in it the way that she reacted when Elsa said that she and Lindsey had found the problem together.
Putting it out of her mind, she concentrated on driving and the drive home took less time than she thought. As she pulled into her driveway she looked at the clock, 7:30. Twenty minutes? It usually took about 30 to 40 minutes to drive home.
As she got out of her car she felt something brush against her leg and looked down to see her white cat.
"Oh, I'm sorry Olaf. DId I lock you again? Never mind that, I can see that you were at the neighbors again. I don't understand how I forget to make sure that you are in the house before I leave." Elsa reaches down and picks the cat up. As she walk toward the house she locks the car and Olaf begins to purr. He always loved being held.
She puts Olaf down to unlock the door and lets him in first. She follows him in, then shuts and locks the door behind her. She removes her shoes, puts the keys in the bowl on the table next to the door and heads to the kitchen in search of food. She opens the freezer and sees a miniature frozen pizza and pulls it out and turns on the oven.
Once she has put the pizza in the oven she reaches for the fridge to see what she has to drink with dinner. She spies a lonely can of root beer and decides that it will be the perfect thing to drink with it.
Once she pulls the out can, she sets out to fill Olaf's food and water bowl in the bedroom. When she walks in, she sees that he has already fallen asleep on the bed. She pushes him onto his side of the bed and fills his bowls.
She then returns to the kitchen to take the pizza out, cut it, snathces up her soda and grabs a book she has been trying to read. If it is good, she'll buy a copy for the library. Once she finishes the pizza and the root beer, she looks at the clock and sees that it is 8:59.
She reasons that she should get to bed because she has to open the library at 6:00. So Elsa walked to her room and changes her pajamas, which usually consists of a pair of shorts and a tank top. As she crawls into bed, Olaf curls up next to her and she drifts off to sleep listening to his purrs.
