A/N This is Elsa's POV, which I portray.
Chapter Two: Call Me Later
I walk out of the coffee shop trying to keep a calm and cool composure.
I like their green tea a lot, it was better than that other shop I went to last week. But there was something else that made me want to go back right away. Namely, a cute redhead with the most adorable blush and soft hands.
Okay, a little weird maybe, but I did make sure to brush our hands together on purpose when she was handing me the drink. It was totally worth it to see the look on the girls face. I smirk to myself. 'Yea, I am definitely going back.'
Glancing down at my watch I realize that my break was up. I race back to my office building silently cursing myself. I need to have a plan when I go back, a way to get her interested.
Well she seemed interested already, but I really need to seal the deal. One just can't let a girl like her go that easily now, can they?
I wake up earlier than normal. What day is - oh yeah Tuesday. It's a day off for me luckily, but damn I am too excited to really be bothered by the lack of sunlight in the sky.
The sky wasn't even awake, and yet here I am. Giddy like a kid, humming to myself as I pick out something to draw this Anna in to me. This is so unlike me, but whatever. I've got a date to make.
I wait for the morning rush to get out of the shop. Can't they get their fix somewhere else? I sweep my hair out of my face yet again, hoping it will stay this time. I look down at my clothes, a fitting purple shirt with black skinny jeans. They look good on me of course, but I find myself hoping that she'll find them… enticing. I don't know, normally I could care less about this stuff. It seems boring, and cliché to the max. But for some reason I could not help myself yesterday and just started flirting with her.
I straighten up and brush myself off, even though nothing was on me. Moving from the wall I was leaning on, I finally walk into the shop.
A giant blonde man looks over from behind the counter and gives a grumbled hello and a nod as he finishes cleaning something up. He calls for another employee to work the register before lumbering away. Huh funny, I don't remember him being here yesterday…
"Hey…" Damn it, and I was hoping she would be here too. I stand back and glance at their menu board before I hear a commotion from what I guess is the stock room. In an instant she's hopping out and jumping to the counter.
It takes a moment before her eyes flicker with recognition, a faint hint of a blush on her perfectly shaped cheeks. She cheerfully asks, "Hello, how may I help you….?"
I put on a sly smile and strut to lean on the counter.
"Elsa. It's a pleasure to see you again, Anna." This makes her face turn pink and she bites her lip just a little. I think I'm doing pretty well with this so far. Our eyes lock for a moment before I break the silence.
"I was wondering what you might recommend? I liked the tea yesterday, but I feel like trying something a bit different." I raise my eyebrow and smile at her again. I could get used to this real quick.
"I - uh well, my favorite is the hot chocolate! With marshmallows of course, but you don't have to have those if you don't want! We have other toppings too! The - the coffee's great and all too but y'know."
She's blushing and stuttering and sneaking shy glances through her embarrassment. Oh goodness is she cute! I really, really want this to work out.
"In that case I'll take a hot chocolate, the way you like it, please."
She nods quickly before preparing the drink. I watch her work the whole time, my eyes roaming over her form, every movement she makes has liveliness about it, and she seems pretty graceful despite her frantic race out of the back a few minutes ago. She is focusing on something about my order before smiling brightly as she turns around with it in her hand.
Just as she reaches out to hand it to me, I graze my fingers against her smaller ones as innocently as I can. I look down and see that she made a smiley face with the marshmallows she mentioned. Could she get any cuter?
I give her a wide grin, which makes her beam with pride. "One hot chocolate, just the way I like it."
I take a sip carefully, keeping eye contact with her. I have to suppress a delighted groan because damn! That chocolate flavor is perfect!
I move the cup away with a satisfied smirk. "It's perfect Anna." She starts giggling and I raise my eyebrow in question.
"You have a chocolate moustache! Here." She grabs a napkin and hands it to me, and I swear she brushes her hand against mine this time.
"Thank you." I quickly wipe it off and set the cup down. I slide the money towards her and she punches it into the register quickly, handing me some change. I pull out a slip of paper from my pocket and hand that to her, along with a tip.
She looks at it and then at me in surprise. "I'd ask you out to coffee, but that seemed a little ridiculous. So maybe dinner and a movie sometime?"
Anna only stares at me, still in shock. My heart seizes a little, but I have to play it cool. "Let me know… And thank you for the drink, Anna." I wink and leave the store with as much grace as I can manage. Once I'm a block away, I stop and shake my head.
"Shit, what if she's not into women?"
