(Sorry for not updating yesterday! Thank you so much for all your support guys, omg it means so much. Thank you thank you thank you! But yeah, I've been stressed lately, I'll try my best but like I said, try to update every two weeks. Here's a long chapter for you guys :D)
Elsa walked back awkwardly towards the others with Eric's phone number, a brown paper bag with the words Bread King printed on it and a whole lot of guilt, "One order of Eric's phone number and four chocolate croissants."
Punzie squealed, "Ohh, his name is Eric? What a hot name…"
"How can you- you know what, never mind," Elsa didn't even bother.
Olaf grinned, "So does this Eric guy have a chance?"
"I guess, he looks pretty decent, and he seems really nice…" Elsa didn't believe a single word she had said, she knew she couldn't get over the feelings she had for Jack by this guy who she has barely known for more than five seconds. But on the other-hand, she knew she had only known Jack for a few weeks, what if what he's showing her now is his true nature? And that he just seduces girls into loving him then throws them away like a piece of trash the next?
"Well you won't know till you give it a shot, right?" Anna smiled broadly at her sister.
"Yeah…. I guess…" But Elsa knew it would be a bad idea, she gave Jack a shot, she opened up to him, and this is what she gets out of it, what if the same happened to Eric?
Olaf sighed, "Elsa, I know you're thinking about what if I open up to Eric and he turns out to be the same as Jack… But look, what if he's the one you're meant to be with? I know we're still young, but what if he's the one and Jack isn't?"
'And Jack isn't' the words hit Elsa like a bull had just charged through her, what if Jack wasn't the one? What if she was being too obsessive over him…? "You're right Olaf, but it's kind of creepy how you answered a question I hadn't said out loud."
Olaf giggled, "I am a mind reader, ohhh, be careful, don't go thinking dirty thoughts or else I'll know them all."
"Hey! I don't think those things!" Elsa slapped him playfully on the arm.
The others gave her the 'sure you don't' look and laughed.
"What you guys laughing about?" A deep voice called from behind them.
Anna's mouth hung open and Punzie's eyes were glowing as bright as the sun, "Elsa… I think you should turn around…"
Elsa turned around, still laughing and was face to face, well face to chest with Eric, "Oh. Oh oops! Hello, again."
Eric was much taller than Elsa, about a head taller than Jack; he had finished his shift and was dressed in a white t-shirt with black jeans. His t-shirt fit snug on him and Elsa could see his muscles that you had. He obviously worked out often; sweat still clung onto his forehead from his last shift. Elsa felt a small hint of resemblance to someone who she knew, but she couldn't quite wrap her finger around it.
"Hey, care if I join you guys? I got nothing better to do, unless you already don't like me…" He smiled.
"N-No, it's fine," Elsa looked back at the others, "He can come with us? Right?"
Rapunzel snickered, "Haha, sureee, you can."
Eric laughed, "So where to first?"
"Boxers hunting, boxers hunting!" Olaf cheered, dragging Anna and Punzie off towards Black's, a store that sells everything that a guy would ever need.
Anna and Punzie didn't even bother struggling; they just sighed and walked along with Olaf, "Shall we?" Eric asked, holding out his hand for Elsa to take.
Elsa smiled and took his hand, "We shall."
As Elsa's hand came in contact with Eric's hands, she didn't feel the same electricity she felt when she held Jack's hands, it didn't send tiny shocks of joy through her veins, Eric's hands shot teeny-tiny shocks of pleasure, about 0.0001% of what Jack gave to her. His hands didn't warm Elsa's like Jack's did. They remained the same, cold temperature, as if Eric didn't give off body heat either…
"Does he like, really enjoy Boxer Hunting?" Eric asked, as they walked hand-in-hand after the others.
Elsa laughed a fake laugh, "He's been cheering about it ever since we got into the store."
"Well you can help me pick up some boxers, I need some too," he sent another one of his signature winks at her.
Punzie looked back at them and yelled, "Guys! Stop flirting and let's go!"
Red crept up Elsa's face, "W-We're not flirting!"
"Yes we are, don't lie- Oh no, I don't think I ever caught your names!"
Elsa looked down at her beat-up Converse, "I'm Elsa, the one who wants to go Boxer Hunting is Olaf, the blonde is Rapunzel, but call her Punzie, or else you'll have like three people yelling at you." Elsa let out a happy sigh, recalling the moment when the guys yelled at her, "And the other girl is Anna, my sister."
She felt Eric tense at the sound of her sister's name, she looked up and saw that Eric's lips were set in a hard line, "Ah, I see…" His eyes were masked over with guilt, Elsa could tell in an instance.
What with this situation? Why is he so tense at the sound of Anna's name? Elsa thought to herself.
They reached the front door of Black's and Olaf stepped in, as Anna and Rapunzel tried resisting, yelling 'Eww!'
Eric quickly recovered from his awkwardness and approached them, releasing Elsa's hand. Her hands felt warmer as soon as he had released her.
"Girls girls, it's just boxers, we, the guys, need your honest opinions on them, so we can woo the girls," Eric laughed, helping Olaf drag the two in.
Elsa stepped between the two boys and said, "Hey now, what if we do not care to see you guys picking up boxers? Would you like to watch us pick out bras?"
"Yeah!" Anna said quickly, supporting her sister's argument.
Eric and Olaf exchanged a look; "Ewwww!" was what they both said.
"There you go, point proven, now go get your boxers." Elsa replied calmly, shoving the boys inside the door.
"Yes ma'am," Olaf yelled, walking giddily into the store with Eric close behind.
The girls took a seat on the edge of a fountain and sighed, "Boys…"
Inside the store, Olaf was already hard at work at doing his business, but he had suddenly lost sight of Eric. He picked up two pairs of boxers with reindeers, then a pair with dinosaurs, and snowflakes. Hehe, I know Sven likes the reindeer ones. He smiled at himself.
After he had picked up his boxers along with another cream-colored sweater and black jeans, he ventured off to look for Eric. He tip-toed around, when he found him, he would jump out and scare him. Olaf looked around the store, his eyes peeled for chocolate-brown hair. He crossed into the t-shirts section, one of the most abandoned sections there were, and found Eric. The t-shirts weren't that great to be honest.
Just as he was about to jump out and scare him, he heard Eric's phone shrill, Olaf decided to stay hidden, just to eavesdrops a bit, what harm can that do?
"Brother," Eric said into the phone, Olaf with his weirdly keen hearing, heard a voice on the other line say, 'How are you doing in seducing Elsa to fall in love with you?'
What? Olaf was confused, he kept listening, and Eric replied into the phone, "Yeah, she doesn't know I'm brothers with you so it's good."
The other person replied, Olaf also heard a weird panting noise, 'Oh yes, good job my brother, now, if you end up marrying her, then we can take over the Frozen Skates.'
Why does this sound so familiar…? Olaf thought, rubbing his head, and then it dawned upon him.
Hans.
Olaf's delicate hands clenched into fists, dropping his items on the floor how could he?
"Brother, I-I don't want to go through with this anymore…" Eric whispered.
Olaf had had enough; he picked up the dropped clothing and set them down on a shelf and raced out the door, causing the guy at the front to give him a weird look, "Elsa! Anna! Punzie! We're leaving, now."
Anna looked up from her phone, "Did you succeed in your mission?"
"It doesn't matter, let's go, now." Olaf's mouth was set in a hard line.
"Olaf, what's wrong?" Elsa asked, standing up.
"Eric, he's Han's brother, I heard them talking on the phone. Hans is planning to use Eric to get you so they can take over Frozen Skates," Olaf was already walking towards the exit.
Elsa sighed, "Calm down Olaf, tell me everything you heard."
Olaf took a deep breath and replied, "Eric's phone rang in Black's while I was looking for him, and I thought I would eavesdrop, not knowing what he would be talking about. Then I heard Hans say how good Eric was because of the fact that he's already making you fall in love with him."
Elsa fiddled with the ends of her hair, indicating that she was nervous, and "So Hans is using Eric as revenge on what we did to him?"
Olaf nodded, sitting down on the edge of the fountain. He opened his mouth to speak, but before he could, Eric walked out, "Hey, where were you Olaf?"
"Uh," he looked back at Elsa, Elsa gave him the don't-let-him-know-that-we-know look, and "I didn't find any cool boxers there, so I left. Sorry bro."
Eric nodded and said, "No problemo, so what now?"
"Hm, how about we split up? I kinda want to hang-out with Eric for a bit," Elsa said, hinting that she was going to get some information out of him.
Punzie got the hint and replied for the other two, who obviously didn't get the hint, "Sure, we'll meet you at five here?"
Elsa nodded and dragged Eric towards the food-court, "Food first."
"Sure, whatever you would like," Eric laughed, following Elsa.
They stood in line at SuperDill and ordered two slices of cheese pizza, "So… Tell me about you," Elsa asked him, taking a bite at her pizza.
Eric hesistated for a moment, but replied, "Uhm, I have an older brother… I'm eighteen, I just moved here a week ago, and I'm going to attend Arendalle University this following Monday."
Crap, really? Just my luck… First Jack, now Eric…Elsa thought to herself.
"Oh, I got there too, what are you majoring in?" Elsa asked.
"Business."
Just my luck! Elsa was mentally throwing her hands up in the air.
Elsa looked around nervously, "Well if you have any qu-"
Before she finished her sentence, someone had caught her eye, a certain someone with silvery-white hair, who wore a blue sweater and brown jeans, who was also with someone else who Elsa disliked a lot.
Jack and he was with Tink.
