Expect The Unexpected ch. 7
Elsa's P.O.V.
Anna and I had to part ways because her boss called and asked her to take an extra shift. The redhead could not turn down and apologized profusely about leaving me like this. I told her that it was okay an that she should go. The photographer promised to meet up with me later in the week when both of our schedules are free. I waved at her as she left the park and it was not even 5 minutes when I received a text from Adrian, asking me to meet him and Jasmine at this café down the street from the studio. I text him, saying that I would be there in a few minutes.
I walked out of the park and passed the studio. It was not that far of a walk and I saw the brown haired photographer and the raven haired model sitting at one of the tables outside of the café. I pulled out a chair across from Adrian with Jasmine in between the two of us. The photographer sets a cup and a chocolate éclair in front of me.
"What is this for?" I asked raising an eyebrow at him.
"No reason. So who's Anna?" Adrian asked batting his eyelashes at me.
"I see what this is about. You asked me to meet you here because you want to get information about me" I said leaning back into my chair.
"Oh come on, Elsa. Yu never being anyone to the studio and all of a sudden you bring this girl. She has to be pretty special to you" Jasmine said smirking.
"She is a friend" I said taking a sip of my drink.
"There's no way that you two are just friends. Not with the way that she was staring at you when you left to get change and when you were in nothing but lingerie. The poor girl is in love with you" Adrian said knowingly.
"Did you see the way that she was glaring at me through the whole photo shoot? I mean I felt she was trying to turn me to stone with how hard she was glaring at me especially when I put my hand on your hips. When I did that, it looks like she wants to claw my eyes out" Jasmine said shuddering.
"I asked her about that"
"What did she say?" Jasmine asked amused.
"She said that she did not like you and had a bad feeling about you" I said giggling a little.
"What? I didn't even do anything yet and she already doesn't like me, damn. Your girlfriend is tough critic" Jasmine said shaking her head.
"Why does everyone think that we are dating? We are not dating" I said sighing.
"Can you blame us? The way she looks at you and with you bringing her to the studio. We assumed that you were dating" Adrian said shrugging.
"I do not know but we are just friends. I am just getting to know her" I said taking another sip out of my drink.
"Friendship is the first step to dating then it's marriage then it's adopting babies" Adrian said snickering.
"Will you two quit it with dating jokes? Beside if we do date and get married, I do not think that we have to worry about adopting kids"
"What do you mean? You don't want kids?" Jasmine asked raising an eyebrow.
"I do want kids eventually but I do not know if Anna does" I said shrugging.
"That's understandable. Not everyone wants kids and I'm not sure if I do either" Jasmine said looking down at her cup.
"Trouble in paradise?" I asked curious.
"No, I don't know if I would be a good mother" Jasmine said distantly.
"I am sure that you would be a good mother, Jasmine. You are one of the most caring and loving people that I know" I said placing my hand on her shoulder.
"Thanks Elsa, I appreciate it. So… how long have you and Anna been dating?" Jasmine asked quickly changing the subject.
Jasmine and Adrian started laughing their heads off as I glare at the both of them. It is like everything that I have said about Anna and I not dating is going in one ear and out the other with this two. They are having a field day with this. Sometimes I really know how or why I am friends with them. It is not like I would not mind dating the redhead. She is sweet, easy to talk and makes me laugh but it feels like she is holding back.
There is this sadness and that she is hiding inside and I want to know why but pushes me away everything it comes up. The photographer just smiles and changes the subject. She has just a low opinion of herself and sees herself as a burden on others. I know that it is the furthest from the truth but I change that and make her see how special she is but how.
"You know she's thinking about her girlfriend?" Adrian said nudging Jasmine with his elbow.
"Who else would she been thinking about? Those two are so Velcro but it's too cute. Hopefully Anna won't get too jealous when she finds out that her boo thang is here with me" Jasmine said giggling.
"For the last time, Anna and I are not dating" I said glaring at the both of them.
"Okay, okay Elsa we heard you the first time" Adrian said holding up his hands.
"Thank you" I said feeling annoyed.
"Hey Elsa, do you think that you could convince Anna to come to work with you tomorrow?" Adrian asked curious.
"Maybe if she doesn't have to go to work tomorrow. Why?" I asked raising a eyebrow.
"I have an idea and if she comes, tell her to bring her camera and her portfolio" Adrian said smirking.
"Just do not do anything to crazy to her, Adrian. I prefer my friends in one piece"
"She'll be fine" Adrian said waving me off.
Anna's P.O.V.
I was glad when my shift was over because I had to deal with some assholes that thought that they could get away with slapping Tiana on the ass like she was a piece of meat. She was too stunned to do anything but that's where I am came in. I decked him square in the nose and he ran out of the restaurant like a bitch but that took care of them. What is with guys and thinking that they can get away with shit like that? I mean seriously, didn't their moms teach them any manner or how to respect women. I can't stand guys like that.
"Anna, thanks for earlier" Tiana said smiling.
"Hey no problem, I got your back. He's lucky that I didn't grab the back of his head and slam his face into the table" I said bumping my shoulder with her.
"I really do appreciate it. I can't wait until I get my own restaurant then I can quit this job" Tiana said stretching tiredly.
"I can't wait until you get your own place so I can eat for free" I said laughing.
"Who says that you would be eating for free?" Tiana asked raising an eyebrow.
"Awww come on Tiana, don't be like that. You know how much I love eating your beignets" I said pouting.
"I know but you're not eating for free. The first three meals for you will be free but after that, you'll have to pay like everyone" Tiana said she locks up.
"I'll take it but you know that you work too hard, Tiana" I said as we walked down the street.
"Yeah, I know but I can't help it. I want to get that place by Petersons and 2nd Street and I almost have just enough for the down payment. I am almost there that I can taste" Tiana said squeezing her hands together in excitement.
"When you get enough for the down payment, I'll go down there with you and help you set everything up" I said wrapping my arm around her shoulder.
"Thank you Anna, you're a friend" Tiana said giving one armed hug.
"You have a friend in me" I said grinning.
"Quoting the movie 'Toy Story' again" Tiana said playfully her eyes.
"don't roll your eyes at me. It's a good movie"
"I'm sure it is. I'll see you tomorrow" Tiana said as she crosses the street.
"Later Tiana" I said waiting for the light to change.
When it finally change, I crossed the street and it wasn't the far of walk to get to my apartment. I walked into my apartment before up the stairs to my apartment. I pull my key out of my back pocket and unlocked the door to find my two best friends sitting on my couch. They have my laptop hooked up to a project pointing at the opposite wall as they watch a movie on my Netflix account. I am starting to consider changing the locks on my door and not giving them the key.
Kristoff was too into the movie that they were watching to notice me walking in through the door but not Hans. He looks at me with a amused look on his face as he chuckles a little.
"So the prodigal daughter returns" Hans said crossing his legs on my coffee table.
"Why are you two here? Why are you in my Netflix account?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
"We were waiting for you to get home and we got bored waiting. You really need to change your password to something a lot harder" Hans said shrugging.
"You're lucky I'm too tired to throw ya'll out" I said flopping on my recliner.
"So, why was you looking up Elsa on your laptop?" Hans asked smugly.
I still froze as my eyes grow to the size of dinner plates. Fuck! I should've clear my search history before I left the house this morning. Dammit! How am I going to explain this shit? Wait a minute, I don't have to explain nothing to him. I wouldn't have to look up Elsa online if he hadn't made me go that night. We're friends now sure but at the time, she was a complete stranger and she could've killed me while I was drunk. I look at the male model and glare at him causing him flinch a little under my gaze.
"Hans, leave it alone" I said glaring at me.
"W-Why are you s-staring at me like t-that?" Hans asked slightly afraid.
"Dude, you let me go home with a complete stranger last night so of course I looked her up online. You're lucky Elsa isn't some crazy person" I said sighing a little.
"Like what you saw?" Hans asked wriggling his eyebrows.
"S-Shut up Hans" I said the heat creeps into my cheeks.
"You're turning red. Awww, you like her" Hans said snickering.
"We're friends so why wouldn't I like her" I said rolling my eyes.
"No, I mean you like like her. That's great Anna, it's about time you get back into the dating scene" Hans said patting me on the shoulder.
"I'm fine with it just being me, myself and I. If I did like Elsa that way, there's no way that she would be interested me" I said dejectedly.
I know that Elsa wouldn't be interested in me. I'm not even her type if she had one and doubt she's into freaks. That night at the club was a definite fluke with the help of alcohol and I highly doubt that there's gonna be a repeat performance of it. I just gotta accept it and move it. No use crying over spilled milk, right?
"Did she tell you that?" Hans asked raising an eyebrow.
"No but come on, girls like Elsa don't go out with girls like me. It's the natural order of things"
"Come on Anna, that was high school but this is the real world"
"Not much has changed from then and now"
Hans opens his mouth to say something when my phone starts vibrating in my pocket. I raised an eyebrow as I pulled it out and looked at the caller ID. Hans looks over my shoulder and reads the caller ID before smirking. It's Elsa.
"Dude, she's calling you. You lucky dog" Hans said grinning.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Anna, hi" Elsa said smiling.
"H-Hey, what's up?" I asked nervously.
"I have something to ask you"
"What is it?" I asked curious.
"Are you busy tomorrow?" Elsa asked nervously.
"Well I have work tomorrow at 5 but I don't have anything to do until then. Why?"
"I was wondering if you wanted to come to work with me again. It is Adrian's idea and told me to tell you bring your camera and your portfolio" Elsa said nervously.
"Why does he want me to bring my camera and my portfolio?" I asked confused.
"I am not sure. I tried to pry him for information but he would not budge. You do not have to come if you do not want to"
"Do you not want me to come?" I asked sadly.
"Of course I want you to come. I just do not want to force you"
"You're not forcing me and I'll come because you asked so nicely" I said teasingly.
"I will pick you up around seven and try not oversleep… again" Elsa said picking up the same teasing tone.
"I'll try but I can't promise anything" I said laughing a little.
"I will see you soon" Elsa said smiling.
"Okay" I said smiling.
I hung up and stared at my phone a little. I don't know if I can make it through another lingerie shoot. I don't know how I made it through the one today but I already agreed to go and I can't back out now. Why does Adrian want me to bring my camera and my portfolio for? That's a little weird but I'll find out what's that's about soon enough. I put my phone in my pocket to see that Hans staring at me with an amused smirk on his face.
"Not a word out of you" I said pointing an accusing finger at him.
"I didn't say anything" Hans said chuckling.
"I know and you were going to" I said frowning.
"Yeah, have fun on your work date though" Hans said snickering.
"It's not a date" I said rolling my eyes.
"Riiiight and you can separate business from pleasure so well. Remember Ariel?" Hans asked raising an eyebrow.
"Okay that was a one time thing. A fun one time thing but one time thing nonetheless" I said leaning back into the recliner.
Okay, let me explain. There was once this girl name Ariel who I really like back in high school. She asked me to do a family photo shoot for her family because her Dad wanted a picture of the whole family so she came to me. I was one of the best photographers in the photography club so the redhead asked me to do it but I was a little skeptical about doing it. I told her to pay me with the money up front and I would give her the best pictures for her Dad.
She had other plans of paying me and I accepted them without thinking about the consequences. After the photo shoot, Ariel snuck up to her room and I lost my virginity that day but we got caught in the heat of the moment by her Dad. I jumped out of a two story window into a bush as I struggle to put my clothes on. The dude threw a triton at me! Still I don't know how he got it from or why he even had one in the first place.
I got lucky that he missed. I never saw Ariel after that but I never bothered to look either. After that I refuse to accept sexual favors for my services and not like anyone wants me like that no ways. I learned my lesson after that. Never again, I'm telling you never again.
"I remember and that's not going to happen" I said shaking my head.
"Good but good luck with Elsa. Try to be professional but get her to fall in love with you at the same time" Hans said wriggling his eyebrows.
"You don't know when you quit do you?" I said frowning.
"Nope" Hans said shaking his head.
