Expect The Unexpected ch. 21
Elsa's P.O.V.
The last couple of days have been quite something. I cannot believe that someone could just leave their child on their child's other parent in the middle of night like this Ariel person had. Who knows what could have happen? There are tons of kidnappers and sickos in this city and they could have done something to poor Dylan if Anna had not open up her door that night.
I am just glad that the smaller redhead is safe and sound with the taller redhead. I can understand that the photographer being afraid of my reaction to the fact that sje has a daughter but I am not upset with her. I am upset with Ariel for not telling her about Dylan after so long. I know that it was in the past and everyone makes mistakes… not to say that Dylan is a mistake but I know that the younger woman would have stepped up to take care of her responsibilities.
It is just the kind of person that shorter woman is and I love and respect that about her. I know that Anna is going to be a great parent to her children and I see that every time I see her interact with the smaller redhead. I cannot help but feel myself becoming quite attached to Dylan and I do not know why. Maybe it is because she is an extension of the person that I love or that the little girl makes it rather impossible to not love her.
I have been spending a lot of time at the redhead woman's apartment with my two favorite redheads just to spend time with them because I know that I will be leaving for the east coast soon. I do not want to leave them but I do have a job to do and I have to honor that commitment. Right now I am in my room at home with Anna and Dylan packing the last of my things for New York and they are not making this any easier for me to leave.
Every time I put something in my suitcase, one of them would take it out and stare at me with this sad puppy looks with matching pouts. It almost makes me want to cancel my flight and just stay home with them… almost. They have been doing this for awhile now and I know that they do not want me to go but I have to. I stand in front of the them with my hands on my hips, letting out a exasperated sigh.
"Will the both of you stop unpacking me?"
The two redheads look at each other for a moment before turning to face me once again and shakes their head. They are really not making this any easier on me. I take my suitcase off of the bed and set it on the floor before returning to packing. Once I am done with the last of it, I zip my suitcase up and rising to my feet. Before I could open my mouth to say anything, a small body latches onto me and the tight grip around my neck does not let up. I look to see that Dylan has her head buried into my neck and hear small sniffles.
"Elsa no go. Elsa no go. I no wan you to go"
This is breaking my heart to hear Dylan cry. I do not want to go and leave her like this but I really do not have a choice. If I had a choice, I would take them both with me but I do not think it will be a good idea. I wrap my arms around the small child and hug her tightly.
"I do not want to go but I have to. I promise that I will be back sooner than you think and I will bring you something back" I said rubbing circles into her back.
"No go. No go" Dylan said shaking her head.
"I promise that I will come back, sweetie" I said trying to make her understand.
"She's not leaving forever, Munchkin" Anna said rubbing Dylan's back.
"Promise to come back?" Dylan asked looking at me up teary eyes.
"I promise" I said nodding.
"O-Otay" Dylan said sniffing some more.
"It will not for too long and I will call you every night before you go to sleep. How does that sound?" I asked curious.
Dylan nodded before hugging me tightly again. I run my hand through her hair before kissing the top of her head. Anna stands up and picks up my suitcase before following me to the front door. Olaf is standing in the living room by the door and the older redhead hands him my suitcase. He gives me a small smile before going to the limo leaving us alone.
I turn to face the photographer and she stands sheepishly where the kitchen and living room meet with her hands in her pockets. I walk towards the younger woman until I am standing in front of her before leaning forward to capture her lips in passionate kiss.
"I will see you in a few days" I said reassuringly.
I am not quite sure if I am trying to reassure Anna or myself but I do not want anything to change between us in those few days that I will not be here. I know that the redhead will be faithful to me and I trust her but I still want her to be here when I get back. The photographer nods before pulling me into a tight hug, squashing Dylan in between the both of us.
Leaving the both of them is so hard and I know that I am going to have to go through this every time I have a job out of the state or out of the country. Maybe once our relationship is out in the public than I can just bring the both of them with me. The media is going to found eventually and hopefully it will not be so bad. The younger woman reluctantly lets me go and I set the smaller redhead on her feet.
I place a kiss on Dylan's forehead before smile at her and she tries to return it but the tears in her eyes are a dead giveaway of how she is feeling. She is definitely Anna's daughter. Cannot hide their emotions very well.
"I will be back, okay" I said standing up.
I walked towards the door and grab the doorknob before a small body latches onto my leg. I look down to see that it is Dylan and the tears are free falling. I can feel my own tears threaten to fall when Anna walks over and detangle the smaller girl from my leg. I walk out of the door and down the flight of stairs to find my white haired chauffeur waiting for me with the door of the limo open.
I climbed inside and tried to collect myself. I honestly did not think that saying goodbye would so hard but I am going to miss the both of them. I wipe the tears off of my face with a tissue out of my purse and take a few calming breaths. Olaf drives off the curb and towards the airport. The ride is rather quiet and I am okay with it because I really do not feel like talking at the moment.
Usually I am excited about going to New York do a fashion show but all I can think about how are Anna and Dylan and I am not even on the plane yet. How am I going to get through this show? How am I going to get through these few days? It was not long before I reach the airport and Olaf carries my bags inside. I go through security and everything before having to board on the plane.
"Olaf, promise me that you will check up on Anna and Dylan for me" I said hugging my long term friend and confidant.
"I promise, Elsa and have a good trip" Olaf said hugging me back.
"Thank you" I said boarding on the plane.
I sit down and take a deep breath as I buckle myself in. I wish that I was not leaving but it cannot be helped now. All I have to do now is try to get through this fashion show as fast as I can and return home. The plane takes off and I am on my way to New York: The City That Never Sleeps. A few hours later, I am feeling somewhat jet-legged and unbelievably tired.
I put on my Ray Bans to hide how tired I am feeling and I know that the paparazzi are going to be there outside of the airport to take pictures. My bags are carried to the limo that is waiting for me to take me to the hotel that I am staying in. It is a 20 minute ride to the hotel and I check in while my bags are being sent up to my room. I collect my room key and walk into the elevator to take me to the 5th floor.
I finally reach my room and I pull my room key when someone calls my name. I look up and turn to my left to see Adam walking out his room which happens to be directly across from my own. He looks just as surprised to see me as I am to see him. I look at him and it is obvious that football is treating the brunette very well with all of his muscles showing through the tight long sleeve shirt that he is wearing.
Adam's sandy brown hair is pulled back in to a low hanging ponytail against his tanned skin from being out in the sun all the time. His blue eyes stare at me with joyous glint to them and I could not help but smile back at him. The football player is a sweet and humble guy as well as a gentlemen.
I know that any girl is going to be very happy with him but I do not want him because I am in a serious relationship and we are never getting together no matter how the media proclaim that we already are. You take one innocent picture with the guy and they are ready to marry us off.
"Oh hello Adam, I did not how that you were going to be in this hotel" I said smiling.
"It's good to see you too, Elsa. It's a surprise. What are you doing here?" Adam asked curious.
"I have a runaway show that I am appearing in. And you?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
"Me too. My agent thought it would something cool to do but I don't know. I never walked down a runaway before so I'm a little nervous" Adam said sheepishly.
"I am sure that you will do just fine, just be confident in your walk" I said smiling a little.
"Thanks for the advice, Elsa. I appreciate it" Adam said nodding.
I nod before disappearing into my room and throw myself onto the bed. The bed sheets are very soft and warm. They must have come out of the dryer and I just want to sleep but there is something that I have to do first. I looked at the digital clock on the nightstand to see that it is 11:30 at night here and this mean that it is 8:30 in Los Angles. Anna should be putting Dylan to bed soon so I pull my phone out of my pocket and dialed her number. The phone rings three rings before I heard the redhead answer.
"Hello?"
"Hello Anna" I said smiling.
"Hey kitten, are you in New York?" Anna asked curious.
"I am. I just made it to my room. Is Dylan asleep yet?"
"No, she refuses to go to sleep until she hears your voice" Anna said chuckling.
"Will you put her on the phone for me please?"
"Okay, give a sec and I'm putting you on speaker… Hey Dylan, phone"
I hear footsteps running around rapidly and things being moved around. I get comfortable and set myself up against the pillows at the head of my bed.
"Elsa!" Dylan yells happily.
"Hello Sweetie, how are you?" I asked curious.
I cannot help the smile on my face as I hear her voice. The little girl's voice is music to my ears.
"I miss you. When you comin' back?"
"I will back in a few days and I miss you. You are being a good girl for Anna, right?" I asked in mock stern voice.
"Yes"
"No" Anna said at the same time as Dylan.
"What have you been doing since I left?" I asked curious.
"Nothin'" Dylan said quickly.
"She threw a tantrum" Anna said shaking her head.
"Dylan sweetie, I know that you miss me but you have to promise me that you will not give Anna any more trouble" I said sternly.
"I promise. I sorry Anna" Dylan said apologetic.
Dylan and I stayed on the phone talking until she falls asleep and Anna puts her in bed. We were on the phone for over an hour and it is almost 1 in the morning. I stop myself from yawning into the phone because I want to talk to my girlfriend and I want to hear her voice.
"You still there, Elsa?" Anna asked taking her phone off speaker.
"Yes, I am still here. How are you?" I asked curious.
"I'm good, just missing you" Anna said smiling.
"You did not throw a temper tantrum too, did you?" I asked smirking.
"I'm not a child, Elsa. I don't throw tantrums" Anna said pouting slightly.
"I know Anna. I was only teasing" I said giggling.
A yawn slips past my lips and I could not stop it. I know that Anna heard it and I did not want her to know that I am tired. I want to stay on the phone with her a little while longer.
"If you're tired Elsa, you can hang up. We can always talk tomorrow when it's not so late"
"I want to talk to you longer and besides I am not tired" I said yawning into my hand.
"I can hear you yawning and I know that it's one in the morning over there. You're gonna need your sleep and we can talk later, okay" Anna said smiling.
"Okay, I will talk to you tomorrow. I love you, Anna"
"… I love you too, Elsa"
