Hello my dearies!
I bring you the next chapter!
Enjoy!
Elsa was excited to go to work the next morning. She even got up earlier than usual to get more alone time with Anna once she arrived to work. Her heart was beating in her throat and her face hurt from smiling so much.
The girl had forgotten her jacket there the night before and after a long intense internal battle with herself and Olaf, she slipped it on. It was warm and comfortable; it even smelled like the redhead. She had giggled to herself while in bed and then promptly fell asleep with it on.
She almost didn't want to give it back. She was eyeing it as she drove to the café.
Hmm, think I'll keep it till she asks.
Elsa smiled as she stopped at the café and saw Anna stand there, just about to light her cigarette. She bit her lip and got out her car. Anna saw her and waved with a smile on her face.
The older woman blushed slightly as she walked closer to the girl.
"Morning Anna," Elsa said with her own smile.
"Morning Miss Elsa, say I think I forgot my hoody at your place yesterday," Anna said and Elsa cursed internally.
"I'll have a look when I get home, I'll wash it for you," Elsa said and Anna nodded as she dragged on her smoke. Elsa bit her lip.
She'd been thinking of the girl none stop since she left. She felt like a teenager again. Anna was the bad boy or rather girl and she felt like a nerd, anything but a cheerleader that's for sure. She watched Anna finish her smoke before deciding on opening the café.
"So you enjoyed last night?" Elsa asked trying to make small talk. Everything felt kind of awkward.
"The making out part yes, the almost getting caught part not so much and the dinner part yea I liked that," Anna's voice had some amusement to it. Elsa turned to the redhead with an amused smile on her lips.
"So you liked the kissing hmm?" She purred as she moved closer to the redhead. Anna smirk she was making faltered and she gulped at the older woman's advances.
"Maybe you want another one?" Elsa purred more as she leaned her face closer to Anna's. Teal eyes flicked between icy blue and glossed lips. A blush formed on Anna's face as her eyes closed at the feeling of Elsa's breath over her mouth.
Elsa watched the redhead blink in confusion when the blond let out a giggle as she pulled back. Once it seemed like Anna understood what happened her confusion turned into surprise. Elsa watched as a twinkle of mischief settled in those beautiful teal eyes.
Elsa couldn't move fast enough as she reacted to Anna suddenly moving closer to her. The redhead had her in her grips as she started tickling the woman uncontrollably.
"Ann-ahhahahaha! Stop! Hahaha!" Elsa laughed as she squirmed in those strong hands and grip.
"This is your punishment Miss Elsa," Anna chuckled evilly and continued her assault. Tears were starting to form in Elsa's eyes from all the laughter and her sides were starting to hurt.
"Please hahaha stop or hahaha I'll wet the floor!" Elsa laughed and the tickling slowly stopped. She panted for breath as she relaxed in Anna's strong arms. The girl was smiling as she held the older woman, keeping her from falling to the ground.
Once Elsa regained herself she looked into Anna's eyes once more. The girl's smile was no longer a smirk, but rather gentle like she was admiring something. Her eyes had so much emotion, they were soft and twinkling. This made Elsa blush.
She cleared her throat and gave the girl a peck on the cheek before stepping away. They stared at one another. Not sure of what to do or what to say. The absence of alcohol was making it a bit more difficult. Elsa knew what she wanted, she just didn't know if it was the right thing.
"I'll, um, be right down, just going to…check a few emails," Elsa said softly before making it up the stairs taking them two at a time.
She just wanted to get her thoughts in order and check her mails like she told Anna. There were just the usual notifications of places closing for the holidays in December and a few high profile orders on chocolate decorations.
Elsa sighed and rubbed her face.
Elsa you need a break.
The blonde looked to the plush snowman on her desk. She was too tired to deal with him.
"I know that Olaf, but Hans has a lead and said he would follow up on it and let me know," Elsa said opting to not be angry at the snowman.
What about Anna? I like Anna.
The snow man was looking up to her with a slight pout. He looked like a kid that got scolded.
"I like Anna too Olaf. I just need a bit more time to think," Elsa said as she stroked a finger over his twig like hair and he smiled.
Everything will be okay.
Everything will be okay.
"Everything will be okay."
"What will be okay?" Anna's voice made the blonde jump in her chair and curse.
"Anna, don't scare me like that," Elsa panted softly as one hand clutched her chest and the other gripped her arm rest. The redhead sat down and took off her chef's cap. Elsa noted that she never really saw Anna without a cap or a beanie.
"Sorry, Miss Elsa, I tried knocking," Anna shrugged slightly. Elsa noticed that the girl looked nervous, not like the confident girl that first arrived for an interview. Anna bit her lip and took a big breath before opening her mouth.
"Can I ask you something crazy?" Anna asked and Elsa blinked.
"Well that depends…how much time have you spent with Rapunzel?" Elsa asked giving a slight smirk, trying to get the awkwardness to go away.
~Chocolatier~Chocolatier~Chocolatier~
Anna chuckled and smiled. She looked to her cap briefly before looking back to the icy blues she loved so much.
"Let's pretend," she started and saw Elsa frown slightly, "let's pretend you're not married. Let's pretend we don't know one another. That I'm not your employee and you're not my boss. Let's pretend were just two people who have an interest in one another," she continued.
"And what do we do with this pretending?" Elsa asked slightly intrigued.
"Go on a date," Anna said simply. Elsa blinked and leaned forward on her seat.
"Are you asking me out Miss Arendelle?" Elsa asked biting her lip. Anna noticed the twinkling in her eyes.
"Yes Miss Snøfnugg, I am asking you out on a date," Anna smiled as she leaned closer too.
"Wow, you're the first one to actually say that correctly," Elsa said impressed. Anna shrugged and smirked.
"Were both kind of Norwegian," Anna said and Elsa chuckled softly, "I think it's cute that Hans's nickname for you is the English version of your last name," Anna added and Elsa smiled.
"Alright and if I were to say yes?" Elsa asked making Anna smile wider.
"Well, I would take you to the theme park this weekend and see where that leads us," Anna said and Elsa nodded.
"Why a theme park?" Elsa asked an amused smile on her lips.
"Well, were both chefs, so food is out, anything involving alcohol is out too seeing as we get distracted when it's involved. Also the whole movie thing is a bit over used. Music concerts are out too, because our tastes are way different. I think a theme park is nice and interesting," Anna explained.
"You've been thinking about this for a while haven't you?" Elsa asked and Anna gave a nervous chuckle as she stroked a stray strand of hair in behind her ear.
"I might have spent a little more time than needed on this," Anna admitted and Elsa chuckled.
"It sounds very nice Anna, I'd like that," Elsa smiled shyly.
"So it's settled, theme park on Saturday, I'll pick you up at let's say 1pm?" Anna asked.
"Sounds perfect," Elsa smiled. Anna gave a nod before placing her cap back on and walking out the office. Once outside and the door closed behind her she grinned widely and did a fist pump. She made her way downstairs humming to herself. The others were just arriving as she stated setting her things out to continue the chocolate sled.
Anna had been thinking about their first date since she was a teen, but only planned it the night she returned home. She had felt a roller-coaster of emotions on her way home.
She didn't know exactly where they stood. At first she wanted to seduce the woman, then she wanted to be friends and then she wanted nothing more than to be with the woman again. She felt confused.
The older woman seemed to want nothing with her when sober but when alcohol was present the woman couldn't keep her hands off her. Anna knew that people tend to be more themselves when under the influence. So had Elsa wanted to be with her as much as Anna wanted to be with her?
Anna decided that she would just be herself and treat this as if they had just met and she had an interest in the woman. It would let Elsa decide what she wanted and if in the end it's to just be friends then so be it.
"Wow that's coming along nicely!" Rapunzel said as she stood next to the redhead. Anna blinked and looked to the brunet.
"Thanks Punzy!" Anna smiled as she finished the side of the sleigh. Now all she needed to do is put wood markings into it and half of the one side should be done.
"I'm going to have so much fun painting this," Rapunzel said smiling before heading back to her own work.
"Hey don't I get a welcome back?" Everyone collectively looked up to see Vanellope standing in front the counter.
"Val!" Everyone collectively cheered and left what they were busy with to say hello to the young girl. She was in crutches but seemed to put some weight on her foot.
"How you feeling girl?" Tiana asked and Vanellope shrugged.
"It hurt for a few weeks but it's getting better. Doc said it wasn't broken just fractured. I should be able to be back at work in about two weeks, ready for the holiday rush," the little girl said smiling.
"We missed you Val," Rapunzel said as she hugged the girl making her giggle.
"Aw shucks you guys, I missed you all too," she blushed slightly. Anna watched as a very large man entered the café. He could put Kristoff to shame.
"Come on munchkin let's get you back home," the man said as he picked the girl up taking the crutches from her.
"I'm not a little kid anymore Uncle Ralph!" Vanellope pouted as she crossed her arms over her chest. He just chuckled and waved to everyone before leaving with Val waving and smiling to them.
"That man is large," Anna said and everyone nodded.
"Why is everyone just standing around?" Elsa's voice came from behind them.
"Val dropped by, said she'd be back in about two weeks!" Rapunzel said and Elsa gave a slight pout.
"I missed her? Damn, but it's good that she's doing well," Elsa smiled. Everyone head back to their jobs. Anna was still smiling and humming happily, wondering about what she'd wear for their date. She spared a glance at the blond and caught her looking at her as well. She winked to the older woman and Elsa blushed slightly turning away.
Anna chuckled to herself as she worked, not knowing that Rapunzel was glancing between the two with a sly smile on her lips.
