Automatic Love ch. 52

No one is getting married anytime soon so please don't freak out. Elsa is simply asking Anna's Father for the right to marry Anna whenever they reach that point in their lives to want to spend the rest of their lives together.

Elsa: I'm still marrying Anna, right?

It's up in the air. It's possible that World War III could start before you guys married, I haven't the slight clue *looking off into the distance*

Oye, this girl. She isn't coming back from where she's go. On with the story


Elsa's P.O.V.

I was sitting in the library as usual with Anna's feet in my lap. I still don't understand why she like putting her feet there but I don't mind too much. I look up from the book that I was reading to looking the red head sitting next to me. This girl right next to me has been by my side through a lot over the last 2 months. Me getting beat by her now ex boyfriend Hans, a psychopath Ariel, my insecurities, me trying to push her away, kidnapped by Hans, getting humiliated in front of the whole school and the list goes on.

The cheer captain has stood by through all of it and loved me through it all. I am a better person because of her and I like how I am with her. She brings out the best in me. I want to do the same for her but I'm not sure if I can since she's the best already.

"You're staring" Anna said without looking up.

"W-What? How d-did you know?" I asked blushing.

"I could feel staring at me. Something on your mind?" Anna asked looking up from her book.

"You" I said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

A blush started to make its way on those freckled cheeks as she shyly looks away from me. I raised an eyebrow. Did I say something wrong? Why is she blushing?

"Are you okay, Feisty Pants? You're turning red" I said concerned.

"I'm fine, Snowflake. It's just that you make me feel like I'm in the only girl in the world" Anna said blushing.

"Quoting Rihanna's songs, are we?" I asked smirking.

"You listen to Rihanna? I thought I'll see the day that you'll listen to Pop music" Anna said giggling a little.

"I'm not. My car radio is struck on the Pop station you like and I never bothered to change it" I said shrugging.

It is true that I never bothered to changed station on my radio. I didn't have a reason to so why bother and I've heard some good songs that I like.

"But it's true though. You do make me feel that way and I like it" Anna said smiling.

"Good, because other girls don't compare to you" I said smiling back.

The red head squealed next to me before jumping into my lap. I wasn't expecting the sudden weight change and nearly got knocked over. The cheer captain wraps her arms around my neck to stay on my lap.

"You got to warn me before you decide to take us both out" I said jokingly.

"The best prize is a surprise" Anna said grinning.

"That was a horrible pun, Feisty Pants" I said rolling my eyes.

"I couldn't help it. I saw a opening and I took it" Anna said giggling.

I rolled my eyes again with the head hitting me on the arm for it. I was waiting for the cheerleader to get off of me but she did. She continued to sit on my lap, playing the end of my braid. Anna seems rather content with what she was doing so I went back to reading my book. I got through a few pages when I felt something tapping on my shoulder. I looked up to see that it was Belle standing over us with a knowing smile on her face and an envelope in her hand.

"Here Elsa, I want you to have this. I think that you'll know what it's in it" Belle said handing the envelope.

"Thanks Belle" I said taking it from her.

I put the envelope in my backpack before going back to my book. Anna stops what she was doing and looks at me with a confused look on her face.

"What was that about?" Anna asked confused.

"It's nothing" I said continue reading.

"It seems like something with the way that Belle was looking at you" Anna said frowning.

"In what way was she looking at me?" I asked raising an eyebrow. "She has that 'I want you' look"

"Belle wants… me?" I asked laughing a little.

"Elsa, I'm serious. I know that look anyway" Anna said frowning.

"Anna, that is ridiculous. There is no way that Belle wants me in any way" I said trying to contain my laughter.

"How is it ridiculous?" Anna asked confused.

"Because she's 5 years older than me plus she's engaged. To Adam, who's a huge line-backer with arm muscles that are bigger than my head" I said outlining my head.

"I didn't know that. I-I'm sorry just assumed" Anna said looking sheepishly.

"It's okay, Feisty Pants. If the envelope is bothering you that badly, I'll tell you what's in it. It's an invitation to Belle's wedding and I'm guessing that they're getting married soon. Do you want to go with me?" I asked curious.

"You want me to go to a wedding?" Anna asked surprised.

"Yeah, why not"

"I would love to" Anna said kissing my cheek.

It was 5 minutes before the bell rings and school is over. Anna gets off of me and my leg was falling asleep. I shake the numbness out of my leg before heading towards the parking lot. We hopped into my car and drive off towards Olaf's school.

It was his first day of starting the third grade and he was pretty excited about it this morning. I hope that he's fitting in well with his new classmates. Kids can be pretty mean when someone is different from them. We reached the elementary school and parked in the parking lot to find Olaf talking with an slightly older boy. The white boy noticed that we waiting for him and waved goodbye to the boy.

"Hey Olaf, who was that?" I asked curious.

"That was Andre, he's in my class. We sit together at lunch" Olaf said hugging me.

"I see that you're making friends, Bubba" Anna said hugging Olaf.

"Yeah, I like the hard work that we're doing" Olaf said grinning.

"Hey Bubba, wanna have dinner at my house?" Anna asked holding Olaf's hand.

"Sounds good, I'm hungry" Olaf said rubbing his stomach.

"You're always hungry" I said rolling my eyes.

"I'm a growing boy and I need the extra fuel. I feel faint, I'm gonna die if I don't get food" Olaf said falling to his knees.

"Now you're just being melodramatic" I said picking him up by his waist.

"Let's agree to disagree" Olaf said shrugging.

I was tempted to throw him in the trunk but there's child laws against that. Anna was laughing at us but I ignore it. The white boy climbs into the back seat before putting his seatbelt on. I drove home so Olaf can get a head start on his homework. It was 10 minute drive and my brother was rushing to get into the house so he can play with Jett. He and the puppy are inseparable and it's hard seeing one of them without the other running behind them.

I have gotten used to having the puppy around. Anna made Olaf get started on his homework who wasn't happy about it. I scooped up Jett into my arms so she wouldn't go run in after my brother and distract him. She wasn't happy about it but after 5 minutes of struggling, the white lab calmed down. Jett looked up at me with a happy look on her face and rolled her back, looking at me expectantly. I started rubbing her belly and she seemed content but I couldn't tell since she always has her tongue hanging out of her mouth.

"Jett seems happy with you rubbing her belly" Anna said giggling.

"I'm not sure since her tongue is always out of her mouth" I said rubbing Jett's belly.

"I'm sure she is since she's been in your lap for this long" Anna said smiling.

"Or she's buying time to escape for when I'm not looking"

"I don't think she would be that devious"

"You'll never know. A cute face can be deceiving" I said raising an eyebrow.

After 20 minutes, my hand was cramping up and I stopped rubbing the puppy's stomach. Jett rolled onto her stomach before hopping onto the red head's lap. Traitorous dog. But my hand can get a break. Olaf can down with his homework completed and dusted the dog hair off of my pants. My brother made sure that Jett had clean water and fresh food while we were gone. We drove out to the cheer captain's house to find Anna's Mother in the kitchen making dinner and Anna's Father sitting on the couch, watching a Lakers game.

"Hey Elsa, you made it. Come and watch the game with me" Grant said petting the seat next to him.

"Who are the Lakers playing against?" I asked curious.

"It's against the Spurs. Think the Lakers are going to win?" Grant asked curious.

"Not sure but I think they have a good chance" I said unsure.

"Not likely since Kobe Bryant is out for this game. Spurs got this one" Olaf said leaning against legs on the floor.

"Willing to bet on this one, little man?" Grant asked smirking.

"How much do you got, Old man?" Olaf asked looking up.

"Olaf" I said frowning.

"it's okay, Elsa. I'll bet you a dollar that Lakers win" Grant said confidently.

"Make it 40 and we have a deal" Olaf said holding out his hand.

Grant laughs heartily as he shakes my brother's hand. He's so gonna regret that bet, big time. As the game progress, it was rather close game but Spurs kept their 5 point lead over the Lakers. In the end, the Lakers lost the game and Anna's Father owes Olaf 40 dollars. Grant goes into his pocket and pulls out his wallet to give my brother's his winnings.

"That was a good call, Olaf. I am impressed" Grant said ruffling his hair.

"Thank you, Sir" Olaf said putting his money in his sock.

"First Elsa calls me sir and now Olaf is doing it. I'm not that old" Grant said frowning.

"If you want to believe that, Dad" Anna said from the kitchen.

"I take offence to that. Hey Elsa, do you mind if I talk to you outside?"

I nodded before following him outside. He sits on the top step and I follow suit. We sat silence for awhile an I wasn't sure what this is about. I'm glad that we're alone because there's something I want to ask Grant. I open my mouth to say something but the red head's Father beat me to the punch.

"Anna told about you getting kidnapped by Hans" Grant said looking down at the ground.

"Oh"

"I'm so sorry that happened to you. If he wasn't already in jail, I would've hunted him down myself and skinned alive" Grant said glaring at the ground.

"It's okay, Grant. It's over and done with and the only thing that I can do now is move forward with my life" I said putting my hand on his shoulder.

"You are a very strong young woman, Elsa. I admire that" Grant said smiling.

"Thank you but there is something important that I want to ask you"

"What is it?"

"Well I know that Anna and I have only been dating for 2 months now but I have to say that she's the most beautiful, amazing person that I have ever met in my life. She's changed me and made me a better person with just her presence. I would like your permission to marry her… later down the road" I said nervously.

"You know that marriage is a big step and you have a point about you two haven't been dating that long. But I know that Anna is madly in love with you and she cares very much about you. I can see that you feel the same way about her. I want to take care of her like the Princess that she is because if not, you will come up missing. Just don't get married too soon, I don't want to become a grandpa too soon" Grant said putting a hand on my shoulder.

"So I have your permission" I said surprised.

"Yes you do but wait awhile tying the knot" Grant said nodding.

"Thank you, Grant. You don't know how much this mean to me" I said grinning.

"If you don't mind me asking, why are you asking my permission?" Grant asked raising an eyebrow.

"My Uncle did with my Aunt when they got married and my Father did the same with my Mother. They all had long happy marriage because it and I want to continue the tradition so I'm old-fashioned" I said rubbing my neck sheepishly.

"I like that some kids are still interested in being old fashioned. I did the same with my wife and we're happily married for the last 25 years. I know that you and Anna will be the same. Let's go inside before Anna starts thinking that I've scared you off somehow" Grant said laughing.

"You haven't yet but let's go inside" I said following him inside.
