Let Her In
It had been about a week since Elsa and Anna had their little make-up session, the two haven't talked to each other since. Granted, Anna was working on her final paper for her literature course, which was taking up the majority of her time.
Elsa was studying with Joan for their mythology final. Neither of them really needed to study, but it did give them an excuse to hang out at Joan's apartment. Elsa knew all the gods and goddesses like the back of her hand, and Joan, the only other subject she excelled in was history (more specifically the world war two era). Right now the two of them were "studying" their flashcards while munching on chips and telling stories.
"So anyways. It was my second date with Kristoff and he thought it would be romantic to take me on a reindeer ride."
"A reindeer ride?" Elsa asked chuckling abit.
"The man loves reindeers. What can I say. Anyways so we get in the sled-carriage or whatever and the coachman said that one of the reindeer was named Sven. Kristoff was like 'I have a friend named Sven, he's gay', the coachman said he didn't support gay marriage so when he got mad, Kristoff got mad mad too and they started hitting each other…."
"And then let me guess you kicked the guy's ass." Elsa said with a smirk.
"No. I sat on the sidelines and ate popcorn."
Elsa snorted at her friends humor.
"But then he took Kristoff's glove, that's when I stepped in."
"What did you do?"
"Let's just say I'm banned for life and the guy had to buy a new carriage... And hip." She added almost as an afterthought.
"You just love breaking things don't you Joan?"
"No I don't!" Joan defended.
"The first time we met you threw a guy so hard he flew ten feet and slammed so hard into his car he made a dent the size of a bowling ball."
"Oh so you didn't want me to stop that guy from touching your Norwegian ass."
"Oh stop." Elsa said pushing her friend playfully as she smirked "I came here when I was a baby. I have never even set foot in Norway."
"Whatever. You got me as your personal body guard though."
"You know Joan. Your pretty strong. Exactly how much can you lift?"
Joan looked at her, shocked that Elsa had asked such a thing. But then she shrugged and stood up, grabbing on to ELsa's arms and making her stand along with her.
"You know….that's a good question. How. Strong. Is-"
Then Joan grabs Elsa on the hips, Elsa turns red upon Joan grabbing her in such a way. A look of bewilderment in her eyes.
"Joan Simpson?" Elsa asks in a doubtful voice.
Joan then lifts Elsa high into the air. Elsa squeals and head smacks on the ceiling but she doesn't care. She's too busy laughing, kicking and screaming.
"Joan, put me down!"
But her face and tone shows that she's actually enjoying it. Joan looks up at her like a child gazing up at a toy she is throwing up into the air. She smiles and says….
"Whatever you say your majesty." Joan says in a mock tone before lowering Elsa down slightly then throwing her up into the air, being careful not to hit the Elsa's head on the ceiling again. Landing back into Joan's arms. Elsa looks at Joan,speechless, her face completely red. The blonde just looks at her with a mocking face and sets her back on the floor. Sitting down as well.
"Easy Elsa. I'm taken remember." Joan says teasingly. "Plus. You know I don't go that way."
"Dont worry I know Joan. And trust me, don't worry we're cool. You're hot, but your not my type." Elsa says cooly, but with a hint of regalness and condescension.
"What is your type Elsa? Redheads with freckles?" Joan says with a grin.
Elsa blushes hard, ice begins to form where she is sitting as the room temperature drops.
"I opened your computer and found some pictures of redheads in swim suits. I even found this one folder marked 'favorites' in your browser that had girls with a lot of freckles." Joan admitted. Elsa crossed her arms and looked away.
"I honestly don't know why people have a problem with freckles. I think they are cute. And redheads are hot as hell." Elsa admitted.
"So, begs the question. Why look at pictures when you know a cute five-foot-four copper-haired girl with loads of freckles?"
"Wait what? How can you even suggest that? Me with Anna Summers, please, I have just barely come to consider her an acquaintance." Elsa spat, her face still crimson.
"I didn't say Anna." Joan sang.
"Whatever. I can choose to not hate her anymore since we are little. But if you think I'm gonna just swoon over her just like that. You're wrong" Elsa shook her head. "And besides she dated Kevin and she has a boyfriend now..."
"Oh the boyfriend is Kristoff's gay friend." Joan said.
"What?" Elsa asked taken back.
"Anna isn't into guys. She just dated Kevin so her parents wouldn't disown her and Sven is posing as her fake boyfriend in public."
"Wait, wait, wait? Anna Summers. Frederik Summers' daughter. The man who was thrown out of office for being homophobic. IS GAY?" Elsa said in disbelief.
"Yeah. He couldn't believe it either. According to Kristoff he's been constantly on her back for the last three or so years because of it. One time Anna tried to kiss a girl and he almost threw her out of the house."
"Oh. That-that's terrible." Was all Elsa could say. Flurries of sadness began to form around her as she entered deep thought. She honestly couldn't believe that some parents would just throw away their own child because they didn't approve of their choice in a partner. Hell, when she realized what she liked when she was fourteen she told her father and he tried to set her up with a girlfriend! Elsa was lucky to have a father like that. And now he's gone. No. Elsa shouldn't be thinking of that right now, it's too sad.
No Elsa think of something else. Ok the freezer is frosting over, better calm down quick. The microwave is beeping and digital clock says 10:30. WAIT ten thirty!?
"Oh damn. I gotta go, Joan I promised Lewis I would be at work early today." Elsa said getting up and rushing out the door.
"Oh speaking of which Anna wants to see you again!" Joan yelled.
"Soon. Bye Joan." Elsa said as she closed the door behind her.
"See ya ice queen."
"Sorry I'm late Lewis!"
Elsa said as she burst through the doors of Olaf's Sandwiches. There Lewis was, minding the cash register. Elsa reaches over and grabs her apron before Lewis speaks.
"You can apologize by serving the redhead at table six." Lewis said handing Elsa a 9 inch long turkey and cheese sandwich.
Damn, red-heads! Like that's something I wanted to think about right now. Elsa growled in her mind.
"Oh, yeah sure thing Lewis." She said in a soft cover.
Don't even bring up red-heads. I'm still angry with Joan over Anna. How could she possibly think that me and Anna could be together. I mean I have just barely come to not hate her anymore. WHAT? SHE EXPECTS ME TO MARRY HER JUST LIKE THAT!? NO! Never! I will always remember Anna as just another bully I've had, the person who made my childhood hell. And besides, she'll go as far as to date a complete asshole and get a fake boyfriend just to please her homophobic dad. Never gonna happen. EVER!
Anyways table six.
"Here is your sandwi….." Elsa stops after taking her eyes off the sandwich to look at her customer. A green eyed adorable redhead with tons of freckles and a huge grin across her face.
"Oh hey, Elsa!" Anna squeals.
Elsa's face falls into a frown and glares suspiciously at the girl sitting in front of her.
"How did you know I work here?" Elsa said in a very cold tone.
"What? Oh I didn't know you work here." Anna quickly said raising her hands.
Damn, she even looks hot in an apron. Anna thought as she couldn't resist checking Elsa out.
"I mean, not that it seems like someplace you wouldn't work. No, wait….. not that I'm saying this would be a career choice, like for the rest of your life or something..."
And Anna just kept rambling on. Elsa couldn't help but smile.
Stop. Your rambling is too cute. NO! You barely like her remember!? Elsa chastised herself
"It's fine Anna." Elsa said stopping the redhead from continuing. She sets the plate with the sandwich down on the table and sits across from her.
"I'm actually just working here for extra money. Plus good experience with people. I think we both know I need that." Elsa said.
"Oh well. Good choice in experience-places. Oh I'm sorry I tend to mix up words when I'm nervous. And ramble. Kind of like I did before...like I'm doing now."
Elsa had to contain her laughter.
"Are you laughing at me?" Anna said in mock offence. Crossing her arms.
"Sorry you're just too-"
Don't you dare say cute.
"So what?" Anna asked. Raising an eyebrow.
Cute? Hot? Please either one!
"Anyways. I-uh talked to Joan about you. She told me about your relationship with Kevin." Anna widened her eyes in fear.
"Elsa let me explain!" Anna shouted.
"I know that you only got with Kevin to please your father and that you got with Sven so he doesn't know you are gay." Elsa said calmly.
"Shhh! Don't let people hear you. My father would kill me if word got out of my….abnormality."
Elsa looked at her shocked, she stood up both hands clenching the ends of the table.
"ABNORMALITY! WHO CALLED IT THAT!?" Elsa screams, causing the whole restaurant to look at her briefly. Then they returned to their lunches. When it seemed no one was watching Anna spoke.
"My father did." Anna said shamefully.
"Well my father believed that everyone should be free to be themselves. Not hold anything in. When I was in highschool and I first told my dad about my crush on a girl he..."
"Wait what? Your gay too?" Anna said, with a hint of a smile. Elsa's eyes widened and she mentally pace-palmed herself.
Crap I told her. Oh great please tell me she Isn't gonna be a female Jack!
"Um. Yes Anna. I realized that I didn't feel any attraction towards boys around the age of fourteen. But at seventeen I had my first crush. A girl. Named Elphaba."
"Was she cute?" Anna asked, but inside she helf a small heartbreak that Elsa had feelings for another.
"Well I thought she was. She had a beautiful face but she had a slight...condition. She had a green tint to her." Elsa said looking down.
"So. How were you two acquainted?"
"Well Anna you and your friends..."
"EX-FRIENDS!" Anna clarifies.
"Anyways. You weren't my first bullies and you sure weren't my last. The bullying continued up to high school. Sure I didn't have any Kevin's, but I was still an outcast. Elphie didn't have it much better, she was constantly bullied by this preppy blonde cheerleader named Galinda." Elsa said like she was disgusted with the name.
Anna was listening attentively. This seemed like a similiar situation to hers. Or rather Elsa's when Anna was picking on her.
"Anyways. So me and Elphaba hung out together for a while. We would participate in animal rallies, sing songs…"
"Sing Songs?" Anna chuckled.
"Yes. We used to write songs for fun. Elphie thought of one called 'Defying Gravity'.
"So...when did you fall in love with her?"
"I still like to think it was a crush. But I realized I liked her after the first few weeks. I didn't know how to handle it so I told my dad."
"What did he do?" Anna asked worried about the answer.
Threaten her? Disown her? Lock her in her room and tell her to conceal those feelings?
"He suggested that I ask her out."
"Wait. WHAT!?"
Anna was completely bewildered. First Sven now Elsa. Does everybody have nicer fathers than me!?
"Sooo. Uh. Did you?" Anna asked. Slightly worried about the answer.
"I didn't have too. I met with her at a park and before I could tell her anything she told me that she just got asked out by this boy she liked. Frido or something." Elsa said looking away from Anna, trying to clear her head. Immersed in sad thoughts.
Anna was looking at the woman in front of her sympathetically. Oh how this reminded her of the Liz incident. Elsa loved-or liked a girl once and she didn't return the feelings. At least she was spared rejection but still.
"Did you stay friends?" Anna asked with hope in her tone.
"After that I got angry and stormed off. Then I had to stay in my room for a few days because my...uh...emotions were out of control. I hadn't seen Elphaba for weeks and when my dad was finally able to convince me to go back she had moved on." Elsa said tensing up.
"What do you mean move on?"
"I don't know how it happened. But apparently Elphie and Galinda grew close when I was away. They offered me a chance to join them but. I've never been good at forgiveness." Elsa said, glaring at Anna. Who gulped and looked at her with sadness.
Oh man. She still doesn't forgive me. And wow, her face, that anger, reminds me of that scary ice lady from my dream. Elsa looks so much like her when she's angry. But no. I have to earn her forgiveness. Somehow.
"Elsa. I'm not saying that you should forgive anyone for the way they treated you. But you can't let anger dictate your life like that. And who knows, maybe someone who USED to be your enemy could grow to be….. a friend." Anna said, hinting how much she wants her to forgive her.
Elsa sighs "I don't know. But it feels good to talk to you Anna. Not sure why."
Anna gave Elsa a small smile and pushed her hand forward on the table, wanting Elsa to take it but she stared at Anna's hand for a while but didn't take it. Anna flinched her hand away trying to hide her mild hurt and Elsa's resistance.
Normally Elsa can't talk about such an emotional subject without causing ice. But looking around she noticed there was no ice there was no ice on the floor, icicles hanging from the table or frost on her seat. She looked at the people; no one was shivering or had goosebumps. Was it because of Anna? Elsa had to admit, it was easy for her to talk to this girl. Maybe it was just her sunny complexion, a warm glow that made the ice around her heart thaw just slightly. Elsa smiles at Anna and takes her hand. Anna's smile grew larger.
Yes i'm getting through to her!
Across the street. Wearing a gray jacket, dark jeans and a baseball cap, Kevin watches the two women from across the street in a window. He couldn't hear anything but he sure as hell could see. And he was picking up certain vibes from the women. He grins evilly knowing what to do next.
Please review.
