Okay I am officially excited for this one!

This chapter is way longer than the first and if I didn't cut it where I did, it would have been longer and that would be spoiling...

Love you all anyway!

Enjoy!


She'd been staring at the same paper for the past hour now. The clock showed that it was well into the morning. Nearly 9 AM. Elsa's been awake for three hours or was that four? She's not sure; she'd been rolling around for a long while before deciding to get up.

Her head was foggy due to the alcohol from the night before, but luckily she was spared from a headache. She still couldn't believe what she did the night before. How could she stoop so low?

Elsa groaned and held her head as she rested her face on the table. She would need to do so much to make it up to Anna for all of this. Her mother would not have been proud of her for doing this.

"Hangover?"

Elsa snapped upright, the paper she was resting against flying everywhere. Anna was standing in front of her wearing a simple dress that Elsa had asked one of her maids to lend the girl. The boss's jaw dropped.

So her alcoholic mind wasn't playing tricks on her. Anna was really beautiful, especially wearing just a simple green dress. She could feel her heart bang against her chest as her cheeks flushed. The girl's eyes were cold, no light inside them. That made Elsa a little sad, maybe she could at least make her smile after today.

"No, no I'm just a little tired," Elsa said as she stood up. Her eyes flicked to Kristoff and the man nodded before leaving to stand outside.

"I could come back," Anna said as she turned slightly.

"Please stay or we could go out right now if you want. We could go shop and have lunch after? You ate breakfast right?" Elsa asked, feeling nervous for the first time in forever.

Anna nodded as she looked down. Her hands clasped behind her. Elsa was trying to get over the girls accent, but was impressed with her English skills.

"Well then, let me just grab my things," Elsa said as she moved to her armoire. She always kept a spare suit in there for unexpected events. She grabbed her jacket and handgun. To complete her outfit she fastened a tie to her neck and placed her fedora onto her head.

When Elsa turned back around she found Anna watching her with a strange look in her eyes. The girls head was tilted and her eyes kept flicking to her hat and gun. Elsa felt herself blush slightly as she holstered her gun and pulled on her jacket. She then reached into a tin box on her table. Pulling out a cigar she freezes at the slight sneer on the girls face. Looking down Elsa clears her throat before placing it back in the box. Nasty habit, she should stop.

"Let's go doll, I mean Anna, I mean lady I mean…ma'am," Elsa face palms as she walks past the redhead. Why was she suddenly unable to function like a human being? Anna was just a girl! A girl like her! A pretty girl…get it together Boss!

"Kristoff, could you fetch the car please?" Elsa says as she opens her study doors. The man nods and jogs off to the front of the manor. Anna was silently following behind Elsa, looking down as she held her hands behind her back.

Elsa wanted to reassure her that she didn't need to act all shy and proper like some…well trained toy, but she had an image to uphold with the men that were in the manor. She squared her shoulders and walked out to the front, eyes darting to the men that stood guard at key spots. They all gave her polite nods and she relaxed.

Kristoff was already waiting outside with the car, the door open. Elsa took a deep breath before moving for Anna to get in first. The redhead looked to her briefly before ducking in.

"Kristoff, you did make sure to let the others know I'm coming right?" Elsa asked as she looked to the blonde man.

"Of course Elsa, you know me," he smiled to her and she felt some of her stress melt away. Once she slid into the seat next to Anna she felt all her confidence leave her once more.

"So, Anna, what can you tell me about yourself?" Elsa asked as she fidgeted with her tie.

"Nothing to tell," Anna simply said in her accent as she looked to the side.

Well there went that idea.

Elsa puffed out her cheeks as she let out a big breath she didn't realize she was holding. Her eyes traveled to the window and watched as they slowly entered into the busier streets of the business districts.

Anna gives Elsa a glance before looking down at her hands. Before she could gather her will to say something the car stops and Elsa gets out. The blonde holds the door open for the redhead and Anna slowly gets out. She looks around and gives a slight head tilt.

"I think we should try Lumière first, he's pretty good and owes me a few favors," Elsa smiles to Anna as she leads her inside the rather grand looking boutique.

"Ah, but if it isn't la patronne! Come, come I have new designs just for you and your new petite amie," A skinny yet tall French man says as he pulls off the measuring tape from around his shoulders.

"Petite am- Lumière! We are not…not," Elsa briefly looks to Anna who was looking to them with her head tilted before hissing at the man, "les amoureux!"

The man giggled and shrugged.

"Yes, we are, show the dresses," Anna said from beside them, making Elsa jump slightly.

The French man blinked before giggling to himself and pulled out a set of new styled dresses. Ones Elsa must say did look rather pretty. How she missed the days she wore dresses, now she had an imagine to uphold. Not that she hated wearing men's clothing; she just simply wishes she could wear dresses out in the open again.

Elsa watched as Anna stepped up onto the platform to get her measures taken. The girl followed the mans every move as he did his work while singing something in French. The girl looked like a natural beauty. Out the corner of her eye she could see other women that were in the boutique whispering under each other about Anna's somewhat unique look.

It wasn't everyday one saw a natural redhead with so many freckles and pale skin. They might actually be mistaking her for Irish, a lot of those around, not much women though. What really stood out were those beautiful teal eyes. Elsa shook her head. No, no, no this wasn't happening. She takes a deep breath and looks through the dresses he had pulled out for them.

"Lumière, were these perhaps inspired by New Orleans?" Elsa asked and the man nodded.

"Ah yes, yes, you see when I was on my vacances. I decided to travel and see different modes! I tombé amoureux de with their mode and made my own," he said with a bright grin. Elsa smiled and nodded before picking out a really beautiful green and black dress.

"Try this one Lumière," Elsa says as she hands the dress to him. He lights up even more and ushers Anna into a changing room with the dress. Elsa pulls out a suit she likes and was about to ask him to tailor it for her when the doors burst open.

"Ah Miss Winter, buying another outfit are we?"

"Good morning Officer Phoebus," Elsa greeted politely. This was one of the few policemen that did not fall for her charms and batting eyelashes. If she were to fall to the law it would be to this man. So she opted to be on her best behavior.

She watched as he looked over the hats before picking up a black fedora. He studied it and tried it on before placing it back and taking a light brown one. Elsa gave brief glances at her two men pretending to be customers. They gave her a look and she shook her head just slightly.

"You know, I think it would be in your best interest to know that the Westergård's are a little upset with something happening over near their casino, so far there's no reason for police to be involved, but I thought you'd like to know," officer Phoebus said as he looked back to Elsa.

Elsa felt her eye twitch before she cleared her throat. She swears if one of her lieutenants were looking for trouble again she's going to need to have an intervention again.

"I'll ask Hans what's wrong next time I see him, Officer Phoebus, want to keep the peace don't we?" Elsa smiled politely and he nodded.

They both looked to Lumière as he squealed. Anna had stepped out and she was looking spectacular. Elsa doesn't think the French man would even need to alter the dress, it looked perfect as is.

"A new pretty face in Sin City? How do you do doll?" Officer Phoebus said as he walked closer, a love struck look in his eyes. Elsa wanted to growl and punch him in the face. She could even see her men tense up, but again she gave them a short shake of her head.

Anna blinked at the man approaching her; she was walking down the three steps and stumbled a little. Elsa twitched to go catch her but Officer Phoebus moved faster. Anna on the other hand caught herself and just about avoided the man's helpful gesture like it would kill her.

Elsa bit her lip as Anna gave him a sneer before moving to stand at her side. She felt the girl grip her arm, making the taller look to her. Anna still had that cold look to her eyes and it sent a shiver up Elsa's spine.

"I really like this dress, Elsa, may I have it?" Anna asked. Elsa swears it sounded extra sweet. The redhead even moved her one hand down to hold Elsa's hand, like they were old sweethearts and Anna was pouting for a gift.

"Please?" She asked softly as she hugged Elsa's arm to her. It took everything in Elsa not to blush and babble like a moron.

"Sure doll, anything for you," she smiled. Anna smiled back and kissed her cheek. That made Elsa blush and it made her feel smug at seeing the look that flashed over Officer Phoebus's face. The man frowned and shook his head.

"A shame, but I will be on my way. Remember what I said Miss Winter," he grumbled before leaving. Elsa relaxed and let out a sigh. Anna let go of her arm before returning to the tailor.

Elsa was a little hurt by the sudden change, but can she blame Anna? The girl didn't want the man to advance on her, logical to show one isn't interested by pretending to be with someone else. Didn't mean it couldn't hurt.

"Lumière, get Anna whatever she wants and fit them to her," Elsa said before dropping onto a nearby sofa, rubbing at her eyes. She was tired and forming a headache.

She was about to actually doze off when there was pressure each side of her. She startled awake and groaned internally at seeing who was disturbing her. A quick glance told her that Anna was in the dressing room again, why she was nervous of her seeing this was beyond her.

"Looking snazzy today Boss."

"Real snazzy, got all dressed for us?"

Elsa wanted to die.

"Ah if it isn't the sisters, you know I heard Sebastian was looking for new talents, you two should go talk to him," Elsa said with a tight smile. They both perked up and gave the other a look before scampering out the building. The women were rather beautiful to look at, but their beauty was sullied by their obvious greed and standoffish attitudes.

"Sorry Sebastian boy, but they're your problem now," Elsa said under her breath before a light giggling caught her attention. Her eyes castes up and this time she actually smiled.

"My sisters bothering you again, Miss Winter?" The blonde asked as she smiled kindly.

"Ah the sister I actually like. You know, maybe I'll throw a twenty into the street and watch them fight for it," Elsa chuckled and the image. The woman giggled again.

"I tried steering them away when I saw you inside, but you know them? Once they get a whiff of money they go on the hunt," the woman said with a slight shrug.

"Don't worry about it, doll," Elsa smiled bright. A clearing of a throat to her side caught her attention. The look on Anna's face was enough to make her want o cower. Where her eyes were cold it now showed some form of anger and she swears she saw the girls lip twitch.

"I changed my mind, I do not want it anymore," Anna said as she dropped the dress onto the arm rest of the sofa and walked out. Elsa blinked and jumped up.

"My apologies Ella. See you around," Elsa said before grabbing the dress and walking out after the redhead. She was so confused, just a minute ago Anna wanted the dress and now she didn't? Why?

"Anna, Anna wait, hey what's wrong?" Elsa asked as she managed to catch up with the girl. Anna was standing on the edge of the side walk, looking up and down the street as cars moved past.

"Hey, I'm talking to you," Elsa said and went to gently take the girls clenched hand. Anna ripped her arm away and glared at her. The boss clenched her teeth, she was sick of this.

"I don't know what's wrong, but could you at least show me a little respect?" Elsa said, her years of being used to being respected finally waking up her pride. Anna took a deep breath and just folded her arms over her chest as she turned away.

"Silent treatment eh? Women, typical," Elsa huffs and rubs her forehead. The headache was now in full swing.

"I guess everyone is a doll to you," Anna snipped, catching Elsa off guard.

"Is that why you're upset? Because I called someone else doll?" Elsa asked, still mostly confused, but at least this was something. Anna remained silent.

"Let's just go get lunch, okay?" Elsa sighed, but the girl just kept being silent. Elsa closed her eyes and turned in the direction of the closest diner.

"Do you want me to never call anyone but you doll ever again?" Elsa asked after a few seconds as she turns back to the redhead. Anna's eye twitched but was still silent. This made Elsa sigh deeply.

"There's only you, doll…only you," Elsa said softly as she looked down. It was mostly meant for herself and she wasn't sure if she actually voiced the words.

"Lunch sounds good," Anna said and moved to stand beside Elsa. The boss was a little confused when the redhead linked her arm through Elsa's and then cling to her. It was almost possessive. Elsa wasn't sure what to think anymore and her heart was beating too damn fast for her to think.

Anna was one interesting dame that's for sure.


Yay!

Someone asked what year this is and me and my Beta Ice (thank you so much) have narrowed it down to 1938!

Really hope ya'll like this so far and I know most will be confused about Anna's somewhat bipolar-ness...there is a reason I assure you.

Till next time!
