CHAPTER 4
"Elsa. You look awkward." Rapunzel scolded her. "Just be natural on the camera. Smile. Oh yeah. Right. Your famous smirk then."
"Tell me, why do we need to do this?" I asked her, clearly irritated for making me do this so called selfies.
Rapunzel huffed and snatched my phone. "Well dear cousin, this is the first step. Social media rules the world. And once your fans see your legit account, they're going to foll- Oh look! You have more than a hundred followers and still counting. This is so great!" Rapunzel squealed in delight.
"Why do I need to have more followers?" I asked.
Rapunzel sat beside me, "So they could see your posts and all especially the one with Anna in it. And then the news will spread widely, and soon enough everybody knows that you have a girlfriend."
I blinked. "Okay." Then I asked. "Is this really a good idea?"
Rapunzel crossed her arms in pride. "It's a brilliant idea Elsa! Just go with it."
The doorbell rang and Gerda, my housekeeper, answered it.
Rapunzel shouted. "It's just probably Anna. Let her in, Gerda."
"Okay ma'am."
My hands felt sweaty as I heard footsteps of Anna approaching the main living room. I bit my lip as soon as I saw her. She looks so adorable and cute in her short shorts that should be considered illegal nowadays. Her signature twin braid matches her sleeveless top. Those legs. Woah.
Rapunzel snickered beside me as she elbowed me. My cheeks reddened in embarrassment as she noticed me checking Anna out. I was that obvious.
Luckily, Anna didn't seem to notice as her attention was on Gerda, thanking her for letting her in.
"You look wonderful Anna." Rapunzel clapped her hands as she walked towards her. She pulled Anna's wrist and walk towards me with Anna behind her. "So what do you think, Elsa?"
"What?" I uttered in shock.
"What do you think of Anna? Isn't she pretty?" Rapunzel winked at me. "And sexy?" she added that made me widened my eyes.
I was about to say something, when Anna beats me into it.
"Oh. I'm not sexy. Clearly, I'm not." She tucked an invisible strand of hair behind her ear. Oh! That's just so cute.
"Have you seen yourself Anna? You look absolutely HOT!" Rapunzel replied then she turned her attention towards me again. "Am I right, Elsa?"
Finally, I had the courage to speak up when Anna's eyes met mine. "Y-you look amazing Anna." I replied.
"You think so?" Anna asked smiling at me.
I smiled at her. "Absolutely."
Our eyes met again and my heart hammered inside my chest.
Rapunzel cuts our moment by shoving Anna to sit beside me. "Stop eyefucking each other and let's get down to business here." She said, her tone teasing.
Wait, what? Did she just say eyefucking?
Blame my pale skin; I am so sure that I look like a reddened tomato right now.
"So, here is Elsa's instagram account. Do you have yours, Anna?" Rapunzel asked as she towered in front of us. Anna and I are sitting on the couch while Rapunzel looks like a teacher instructing both of us.
"Yes. I have." Anna replied, fishing her phone inside her bag.
"Okay then. You follow her account." Her cousin said.
"Woah. You have so many pictures here, Elsa." Anna said, her eyes glued to her phone. "You look pretty here. Oh I like this one. And this one. And these."
My phone buzzed and I saw the notifications. Anna liked all of my pictures. I bit my lip to prevent me from smiling.
Rapunzel looked at me with those sparkles in her eyes that I have to glare at her. She is clearly teasing me. She doesn't have a clue that Anna has serious crush on her.
"So now, both of you. It's time to take pictures together." Rapunzel said, then she took Anna's phone. "We'll use Elsa's phone first."
"Okay. How do we do this?" I asked.
"You do know how to take pictures, right Elsa?"
I glared at Rapunzel. "Of course. Even though I don't like taking pictures of myself."
"I'll do it." Anna took my phone. Her fingers brushed into mine that I shivered. What was that?!
I don't know if Anna felt it too but she looked at me, and our eyes met again. She is so close. And then I heard a click. Rapunzel took a picture of us staring at each other.
"Woah!" Rapunzel screamed in delight. "This is just perfect!"
"Let me see!" I demanded.
"Wait. I'll just upload it in Anna's account and then I'll tag you." She said.
Seconds later, Anna gasped, she is still holding my phone, "Wow! We look so-"
I took a glance at my phone as I leaned into Anna. I was speechless.
"So in love?" Rapunzel added.
"Yeah." Both Anna and I said in unison. And then we realized what we just said. We both looked away from each other.
"You both are just so adorable!" Rapunzel exclaimed.
"Stop it with the teasing, 'Zel." I said in irritation. But Rapunzel just laughed at me.
"Anyway, so now, let's do your selfies again. Anna, you have to kiss Elsa on the cheeks and then take a shot." Rapunzel said in a serious tone.
"Wait, what?" Anna asked, clearly shock. "But I thought-"
"Just do it, Anna. You are a couple remember?" Rapunzel replied.
Oh my god.
"Okay." Anna replied.
Oh my god.
Anna positioned my phone in front of me, clearly getting a shot. I look at myself on the camera. I look completely awkward. My heart is beating fast. I prayed so hard that Anna won't notice that.
And then I felt Anna's lips on my left cheek. Her lips stayed there for a second. Then CLICK.
Oh my god.
I bit my lip to suppress a moan. Her lips feel so soft against my skin.
Oh my god!
Then Rapunzel grabbed my phone from Anna and she started typing whatever. "Wow!" she exclaimed.
I took a glance at Anna beside me, and I noticed her looking at her hands on her lap. "Are you okay?" I asked.
She lifted her eyes to look at me. "I am, are you?"
I looked at her lips. Her lips are so red and perfectly shaped. Damn! I want those lips against mine. Again.
"Definitely." And then I realized that I'm staring at her lips and I was so completely embarrassed. I stand up abruptly. "Excuse me. I just need a glass of water. Do you need anything, Anna?" I have to go far away from her to hide my embarrassment.
"Nothing." Anna said simply.
The word spreads fast even just for a day and before I knew it, everybody greets me on Monday. My cheeks are completely flushed when I remember the scene that happened awhile ago.
"Woah! Anna! I didn't know that you're romantically involved with Ms. Arendelle." One of the employees said to me inside the elevator.
"Uhm… Well…" I was about to reply when the elevator door opens again revealing the love of my life, Elsa Arendelle.
"Hi babe." Elsa kissed me on the cheek and interlaced our fingers. Then the butterflies never stop dancing inside my stomach at that gesture. I was so overwhelmed even if I knew that this will happened as Rapunzel instructed yesterday.
"Good morning." I replied softly.
And then Elsa turned towards the employee beside us. "I would appreciate it if you don't bombard my girlfriend with so many questions regarding our relationship." She said, with her authoritative, icy tone of hers.
"Yes, Ms. Arendelle." The employee nod in fear as she exited the elevator.
Now we're alone inside the elevator and my heart beats so fast that I'm sure it could lead to heart attack.
"You don't have to do that. I can handle them on my own." I replied softly.
She dropped my hands and I felt disappointed. Oh right. That is just for the show.
She looked at me, and I was forced to look at her. "I just don't want them to think badly of you. You are still my employee and I don't want them to talk behind your back." She said.
"Okay." I replied. My own knight in shining armor. Oh Elsa!
My office phone rang and I answered it enthusiastically when I saw Elsa's office number flashed. "Anna. Can you please come inside my office?"
"I'll be right there." I replied.
I walked towards Elsa's office and she instructed me to lock the door.
"Do you need anything?" I asked.
Elsa looks hot in French Braid but her hair in a tight bun looks hotter too especially with those eyeglasses on. Not to mention her tight pencil skirt and collared suit. She just looks so damn hot.
"My Aunt and Uncle, Rapunzel's parents, are coming sooner than we expected." She began then she removed her eyeglass and then looked straight at me. "
"Okay." I replied as I made my way towards the chair in front of her desk. I sat down and waited for Elsa to speak.
"I need you to move in with me as soon as possible."
"Oh." I blushed. Oh god, moving in with Elsa. I know that this will happen especially because it was mentioned in the contract but hearing it in reality from Elsa herself made my heart beats fast again.
"Are you okay with that, Anna? I mean, if you're not yet ready, I completely understand it." she said as she massage her temples.
"It's fine, Elsa. When are they coming?"
"In three days. They saw the news and they want to meet you as soon as possible. Apparently, I underestimated my popularity in social media. I have thousands of followers now and it's only been a day. And I am also in every Hollywood entertainment news. As Rapunzel told me. I don't know if they are shock of me coming out of the closet or the fact that I'm in a secret relationship that is now publicized. Anyway, they want to meet you. And we have to look more convincing. It was really Rapunzel's idea to make you move in with me."
I nod my head. "Okay. When will I move?"
"Are you sure, Anna?" Elsa stared at me.
I smiled sheepishly. "Well, its states in the contract so…"
"Oh."
"Yup. Rapunzel includes it there. Remember?"
"Right. I completely forgot." Elsa muttered.
"It's fine Elsa. We'll be okay. I'm a good actress." I grinned, trying to enlighten the situation. "Besides, I enjoyed spending time with you…" I blushed at my word vomit, and then I immediately added, "and Rapunzel."
"Yeah. I think Rapunzel likes you too." She said softly.
I smiled, well atleast I got the approval of the cousin. "Really?"
"Yeah. She does." She replied.
"That's great." I clapped my hands. "So, when do I move in?"
"Later, I guess." Elsa said, the tone of her voice seems sad. Then she started to fix the papers on her desk.
I bite my lip nervously. But I still have to ask. "Elsa."
"Yes?" She didn't look at me.
"A-are you okay with me moving in?" I lowered my head down.
"Of course, Anna. I'm just. Uhmm. I just have a headache." She said and then I look at her massaging her temples.
"Here, I'll massage it." I stood up and go straight at the back of her chair.
"Oh Anna. You don't-"
She stopped talking as soon as my fingers massage the side of her head expertly. "Better?" I asked softly.
"Oh god. That feels so good Anna." She mumbled that made me smile.
I continued my massaging techniques at her, until I heard a barely there moan coming out of Elsa's mouth. Oh god. Was that a moan?
I didn't notice that I stopped my movements and before I knew it, Elsa stood abruptly.
Her pale cheeks are now tomato red. "I-I'm fine. Anna. T-thanks for that. Go back to work now." She stuttered.
"Oh. Right." I am so sure that my cheeks are red too. This is awkward. "I'll go now. Thanks for uhmmm… yeah. S-see you later then."
I walked towards her door and immediately unlocked it.
As soon as I left her office, I immediately went into the restroom.
Oh my god.
Elsa's moan.
Elsa moaned because of me!
I just carried one luggage with me as I drove towards Arendelle Mansion. I suddenly felt nervous as the huge gate opened for me. This will be my home for the time being and I should be screaming with joy. But my nerves are killing me right now. I don't know what to expect.
"Anna! You're here!" Rapunzel welcomed me with open arms. "Where are your luggages? I'll tell Gerda to help you-"
I shook my head. "There's no need for that. I only carry one. It's not that heavy anyway."
"Oh. Okay. Then we'll just shop for more clothes then. I want a shopping buddy anyway." Rapunzel said.
"Why?" I asked. "We need more clothes? I carried enough office clothes. Otherwise I'm fine."
"Elsa didn't tell you?" Rapunzel asked.
"What?" I stared at her.
"Oh, you both are on leave. Well, she has a vacation leave and of course, as her personal assistant, you don't have to work in the office too. So you're both be spending a lot of time together outside the premise of her office. Thus, spending time here in the mansion and outside." Then she grabbed my arms, and we both walked towards the mansion, "We need to get our story straight, you know. And you have to be comfortable with each other minus the severe awkwardness that was always present between the two of you." She said, grinning widely.
"We're awkward together? I mean, yes I'm totally awkward sometimes. Well most of the time. But it's just because I li-" I stopped myself before I could tell my deepest secret to Rapunzel. I remembered the contract I signed. I can't reveal my feelings.
Rapunzel giggled softly. She puts her arms around my shoulders and whispered against my ear. "Just trust me."
At that, Elsa came into view. "Oh. Did I disturb something?" she asked, her voice different as she looked at both of us.
Rapunzel chuckled. "Don't be silly, Elsa." She said. Then she took my right hand.
I gasped when I felt Elsa's hand on top of me. Rapunzel puts them together, my heart beats faster again. I can feel the electricity flowing between our skin.
Rapunzel walked inside first.
"Thanks for this, Anna." Elsa said softly.
I smiled. "I'll do my best, Elsa." Then with the courage I didn't know I had, I tiptoed and kissed her on her cheek.
I heard Elsa gasped.
"Oh sorry." I immediately apologized. "I just thought that we should practice. But if you're not comfortable-"
Elsa cuts me off by putting her arms on my shoulders, "I guess you're right." Then she leaned into me and kissed me on my right cheek. My mouth was agape in shock. I didn't expect that.
Then she pulled away but her face remained closer to mine. We were staring at each other's eyes. I can't handle the staring contest anymore so my eyes shifted downward but then my eyes caught Elsa's lips. Oh god. Wrong move.
I bit my lip to prevent myself from leaning in. Get a grip, Anna! Don't do it!
Don't kiss-
Someone cleared her throat and just that, the moment was gone.
Elsa pulled away immediately. And I pulled away on the opposite direction too.
"Yes Gerda?" Elsa's voice sounds different. Then she cleared her throat.
"Ms. Summers' room is ready." Gerda said.
"Thank you." I said softly. My voice sounds different too.
Gerda left and once again, Elsa and I were alone outside the door of the mansion.
"Uhm.. Let me accompany you to your room Anna."
I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear as I replied. "Sure."
