A/N: Hello again everyone! Sorry for the late update.
To Annanarra:
Of course I do understand you, thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings. But I cannot promise you anything, because there are some things that keep popping in my mind and I'm afraid that I would write something in the future chapters that wouldn't look to pleasant to you. But I tell you one thing that I'm sure…if something really would happen…then it's nothing really too explicit…maybe implied or less detailed scenes. Just not to the point that it would be categorize as lemon already. I'm sorry if this has to happen. I wouldn't mind if you would stop reading this, being with me for few chapters was enough to make me happy. Thank you so much.
TO Pipergrace983:
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, I also want it when Elsa has this power in her…and the effects it has on Jack, who would surely admire her even more. Also writing parts wherein Elsa has the control is awesome…like you also have the power in everything if you know what I . Anyway, Thank you for your review and here's chapter 5 for you!
To Guest:
Thank you for your review. Bout my update schedule?I'm not sure so myself. I don't have classes during Wednesdays and Saturdays and Sundays so maybe in those days I would be able to update a chapter, unless school wouldn't be too stressing. I hope you understand.
To BleepBloop1:
Triple cho fudge brownies? Cool! Hehehe it would surely boost everyone's energy. –Sigh-, being in a uni is totally different from being a highschool student…but it is fun! You just have to keep your focus during your periods or else it would be hell unlike in highschool you can still talk to your seatmate yet you can still follow the flow of the lesson. Their teaching skills are way too different. Independency is really emphasized in being a college student. I'm sorry for blabbering…anyway, thank you for your concern. I hope you are also having enough sleep every night so don't read too much Jelsa fics at night okay? hehehhehe…thank you for not planning to abandon this story..thanks for your support. Awww..thank you for the nickname. I love it! Can I call you 'Blee' too?

To Cherisebrady:
Thank you for your review, I hope this chapter wouldn't be boredom to you. Please stay tune!
oOoOoOoOoOoOo CHAPTER FIVE oOoOoOoOoOoOo
She couldn't sleep.
Her mind was thinking too much—too much that it hurts. Awhile ago, she almost accused Eugene about cheating, but after hearing what he said…guilt suddenly filled her. She realized how much she really meant to Eugene, to the point wherein her fiancée would work himself too much just for her and their future.
But that guilt didn't fade away.
Because right after his fiancée left their apartment, she realized that the one who should be accused of cheating was not Eugene…
…but her.
'For goodness sake! Elsa you are not cheating…you don't even have a relationship…with that guy!'
That's the problem. She knew that there's nothing to be guilty about, she just met Jack Frost and had a lunch with him and nothing more or nothing less…but…there's something in her that made her feel ashamed of herself that she couldn't even look at Eugene's eyes.
She's having weird feelings just thinking about Jack Frost, and she was afraid to name that weird feeling of hers.
She uttered a curse before tossing on the other side of the bed.
"Elsa, you have to calm down." She said to herself. A light from her phone suddenly flashed, she reached for it and looked at the message icon displaying on its screen.
To Elsa:
Good evening Love, just wanted to text you before I entered our boss's office, because once I go in in this room, I won't be able to hold my phone anymore you know how much of a strict he is. Anyway, take care of yourself once I'm gone, don't forget to eat and sleep you need that. Don't miss me too much okay? Though I don't think that can stand it when I won't be seeing you. Take care always, and don't overexert yourself.
I love you.
-Eugene
She smiled as she read the massage she got from her fiancée. Oh how She felt the love Eugene had for her, it was so heart-whelming and—
She gasped when a familiar message flashed on the screen after she accidentally touched the 'next' button on her phone.
'How are you Pr—
She pressed the locked button immediately before she could finish reading the message.
If she felt over-whelm about Eugene's message, on Jack's she thought that she might have a heart attack. Her heartbeat suddenly went vivid that it's too painful to bear, not just because of guilt but also… of giddiness as well.
And she was scared.
"You just have to tell Jack that you're engaged already with someone," she murmured.
'Hey, it's not like he's asking you on a date or that he likes you, okay'
She face-palmed. Of course, it wasn't like Jack is hitting on her or she's having an affair with him to feel guilty. So there's NO problem at all. It wasn't like they kissed or worse had one-night-stand; they just ate lunch and all. So there's no big deal, no need to be guilty and to be ashamed of.
'Really? But you're feeling it right now because of the weird sensation you're having just a thought of him'
"SCREW YOU," she cursed her unconscious mind.
Groaning, she tossed again on her bed and tightly closed her eyes. She forced herself to sleep, wishing to never see him again.
And that wish failed to happen
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
It was Sunday in the morning and Elsa decided to go to her favorite coffee shop. So many things had happened yesterday and she wanted to clear those things on her mind with a hot coffee on her favorite shop. After this she was planning to go shopping, she really just wanted to be by herself for now. No Anna to ask her questions, and no Rapunzel and Merida to say accusing things on her fiancée.
She thanked the man on the counter before carrying her cup of coffee towards the booth on the corner of the shop.
She smiled to herself and took her seat, "So…it was just me, myself and—
"Jack!"
"…and Jack," She smiled drinking some of her coffee, which she almost spat when—
It hit her.
"AND JACK?!" she exclaimed. She calmed herself down when a familiar laugh came behind her.
"Hello to you too, Princess," Giving her his trademark smirk, he gestured the seat in front of her. "Do you mind?"
"Yes…I mean No!" she bit her lip to stop herself from trembling. 'Of all people why JACK?!'
"Of course!," smirking at her once again, he sat on the chair. Elsa quickly looked down at her cup when their eyes almost locked.
Jack pouted at her, "You didn't respond to my text last night."
"I didn't receive any," she answered bluntly.
"Really?"
"Yup, you probably sent it to a wrong person," she said as she grabbed her phone and scanned it, making sure that she wore a blank face.
Jack raised his brow, "Why would I? I'm pretty sure that I send it to you, correctly."
She shrugged.
Jack cleared his throat before leaning on the table, "Are you avoiding me?"
She shook her head, "No, I'm not."
"Really?"
"Yup!"
The silvery-white haired man, pursed his lip. Surely, she was completely avoiding him, but why? Yesterday, he knew that they met in an unpleasant way yet he tried to made it up with her, had lunch with her that he was completely sure that they were already comfortable with each other. They even exchanged numbers…'You kinda just forced her actually,'. He sighed…she was still uncomfortable with him, probably. "But why do you look like that?" he whispered sadly.
"Like what?"
"Like you just wanted to leave the moment I sat on this chair."
Elsa bit her lip to prevent her gasp. Was she that obvious? She sighed feeling guilty for acting rude, but she cannot be too close to him knowing how dangerous he was to her, that's why she's trying too avoid him as much as possible.
'But he just wanted to be friends with you'
Letting out a huge sigh, she earned her strength to look at his eyes, "It's not like that. It's just I'm not feeling well right now because of the problems at home." she said giving him a look that will convince him that what she had said was true.
Jack felt relief knowing that he was not the reason of her actions, that's why he showed her his friendly attitude as he smiled at her in comfort, "Want to share it with me?"
Elsa mentally cursed, if she could only screamed at him that he IS one of her problem. She cleared her throat before straightening in her seat, "Well, it's just my sister."
Jack seemed to be interested as he leaned on the table and looked at her, resisting the urge to just gaze at her face.
"There's this guy that my sister just met, and she had this sort of weird feelings towards that guy." She wasn't complete lying, what she had said actually happened but not to her sister…but to her.
"Weird feelings?"
Elsa nodded, "Maybe similar to attraction."
Jack narrowed his brows, "I can't see what's wrong with that."
"Yup, there's nothing wrong with that unless you are already committed to someone." She almost cringed at her words.
"You mean—"
Elsa nodded, "My sister already has a boyfriend for about five years, and she was scared that their relationship might get ruin because of a guy that she just met." Then she stopped, somewhere in her lines she just unconsciously admitted to herself that she was somehow attracted to the man in front of her and that he might probably just ruined her relationship with Eugene. How she wanted to smack herself from saying things that causing her to shiver.
Jack slowly nodded his head in understanding, "And you are worried about her too, right?" she shook her train of thoughts as she decided to go with the flow of her story.
"Mhhmm."
Jack smiled at her, "Can I say something crazy?" he asked her innocently, making Elsa taken aback.
"Uhhh…sure."
"Well, there's nothing wrong about falling in love. Just because you are in a long-term relationship, it does not mean that you are in love. Perhaps you were once, but the same way that we fall in love, we can fall out of love. Maybe your sister's boyfriend seems to be lacking something that she tends to find that missing quality in someone else." Jack said looking intensely at her eyes.
Listening at his words, she couldn't help but to agree with him. There might be something that Eugene failed to give her as of now, and that might be 'companionship', she was bored inside their condo being left alone and no one to talk to, and that companionship…she found it in Jack. Thinking about yesterday, she would be lying if she said that she didn't enjoy herself, because even if they just played '20 questions'she really did have fun…and that made her worried; because if she got used to having Jack there would be a time wherein she would be seeking Jack's companionship and have 'fun' with him again and again, even worst was when Eugene would be finally there yet she would be still looking for Jack's.
She sighed, "But isn't it not worth doing? Because Anna; my sister, already have someone who loves and cares for her a whole lot, and not because he lacks a few qualities… that doesn't mean that she should throw it all away for someone that has this one quality, especially when she just met him." She said as she absorbed her words in her heart.
Elsa held her breath when Jack leaned closer trying to see through her eyes, "What if the situation differs? What if your sister's boyfriend doesn't love her anymore, that he just continues to stay by her side because he feels oblige by committing himself with her? What if he just thinks about their relationship as a commitment? A relationship with love and commitment is different from a relationship with just a commitment, Elsa. Commitment is when a person decided to be with someone and remain true with them, surely it does sounds nice, but isn't being committed with someone while loving them sounds better?" Jack's eyes widened when a thought occurred to him, "Wait, what if your sister's boyfriend doesn't just love her anymore but also has been breaking that 'commitment' that they have with someone already?"
Elsa's heart churned. Why did Jack's words pierce her like he was directly saying it to her, he may not know about her current status, yet his words… why does she felt like they were meant to be said to her? She couldn't help herself from thinking. What if Eugene really didn't love her anymore and just felt oblige about asking her hand in marriage? Wait…what if she was the one who was acting like that? What if she was the one who has been slowly drifting apart and slowly breaking their relationship? There were so many what ifs' and that made her feel worst.
She rubbed her temples, it has been aching because of the complicated mixed feelings and thought that she was having.
"Are you alright?" Jack asked her in concern.
She tried to smile, "I'm fine…just worried about my sister."
Jack looked at her before standing up from his seat and reached out a hand.
Elsa looked at him in confusion, "What?"
Jack grinned at her, "Come on, you seems stress out lately. Why don't you try to unwind yourself?"
Elsa rolled her eyes, "Well, FYI Mister that was what I supposed to do this morning until someone just ruined my plan on 'being alone for awhile."
Jack smiled sheepishly, "Well, the moment I saw you I thought that there was something wrong on the way you sigh, so I couldn't help myself to approach you because I'm worried, plus I cannot take the guilt that I will have if something happened to my princess."
Elsa glared at him, in reality she was squirming inside, "Jerk."
The man laughed, "A handsome jerk you say."
"Whatever."
"So?"
"So?" Elsa raised a brow.
Jack rolled his eyes at her cluelessness, "Are you coming with me or not."
Elsa fidgeted on her seat, should she go with him or not? Its not like they were going to do something bad, she just wanted to escape from her dilemmas right now.
'But isn't he one of your so-called dilemmas?'
She groaned whatever…she just wanted to clear out her thoughts and even though she thought earlier that she would be doing it alone, she changed her mind. Maybe it would be better to unwind yourself with someone.
Grabbing her things, she stood up from her seat before reaching out for his hand when she remembered something, "Ummm… I didn't bring my car."
Jack smiled, clasping her hand he winked, "I have my car with me, Princess."
"Oh, cool."
"So, where to?"
Elsa grinned evilly, "Shopping!"
She couldn't contain her giggles when she saw the horror in Jack's face.
oOoOoOoOoOoOo oOoOoOoOoOoOo oOoOoOoOoOoO
"Seriously? In every stall that we go you always grab pieces of junk." Jack grumbled when Elsa again threw another piece of cloth…a tank top he guessed.
Elsa rolled her eyes at him, "For your information, those things inside that trolley are not junk…they are called fashion." She grinned before bouncing to another stall.
Jack rolled his eyes, "Women." He grabbed the handle of the trolley and pushed it towards the squealing Elsa.
"Jack! Which one is better?" Elsa asked him as he held up two dresses; they both have the same design but different in color; off-shoulder dress that reached her mid-thigh with ruffles at the hem. It was a simple yet nice dress and it would be even better if Elsa was wearing it while going out with him on a dat—
'Whoah! Easy Jack…you're going too far.' He thought.
'But aren't you two going out a date right now?' his unconscious mind said.
'This is not a date.'
'Pffft. Then have fun on your not-a-date.'
Jack groaned to himself. He would be lying if he said that he didn't want to ask her out on a date, in truth he even imagined himself with her on a candlelit dinner and on an amusement park…it's just its too early for him to ask her out. They just met yesterday, yet he was sure that he was somehow attracted to her and he was scared if he told Elsa that for she might probably thought weird things about him.
"Jack?"
"Huh?" he straightened his posture and smiled at her.
"Ummm…what do you think?"
"Of what?"
"Which one is better?"
"Better?"
Elsa face-palmed, "Geez, you're dozing off! I asked you if which dress is better, the blue one or the pink one."
Jack scratched the back of his head, "The blue one."
Elsa beamed, "Really?"
"Uh-huh."
"Okay!" throwing the dress on the trolley, Elsa turned and was about to head to the next stall, when jack grabbed her elbow preventing her to do so.
"W-what?" she asked feeling the heat on her face when she felt the way his hold brought sensation on her.
"Come on; let's go somewhere this place is kind of boring." Jack said as he dragged her towards the exit hall.
Elsa staggered from his grasp as she looked behind her, eyes wide with shock, "W-wait w-what about my clothes! It took me an hour to choose those dresses an—"
"And you have to leave it there, because were going somewhere else where we can both have fun."
"But my babies!"
"More like trash!"
oOoOoOoOoOoOo oOoOoOoOoOoOo oOoOoOoOoOoO
Jack couldn't believe it.
He really didn't want to believe it.
Jaws dropped from too much shock and eyes wide as plates dumbly stared at the screen in front of him.
On the screen was big letters that said 'You Lose' with his favorite character 'Hwoarang' lying on the ground.
He didn't believe it, he just lose!
His Hwoarang had just lose when he was completely sure that he would won because he had just mastered all of its moves and special attack, plus…his opponent was only a newbie! He couldn't accept his defeat with that fact!
He glared at the tall blonde girl on the screen 'Lili', before looking at the back of the machine wherein his opponent sat and holding her own joystick.
"Can't accept your defeat?" Elsa smirked.
Jack gritted his teeth, "Know what? Let's just go back to your shopping spree."
"Oh, come on Jack! I'm enjoying myself here!"
"But you're babies are waiting for you."
"I don't care, I still have time to buy some, lets just finish this game!" she squealed when the screen flashed 'Round 2'.
"Come on Jack!"
Jack grumbled on his seat as he gripped his joystick. He couldn't swallow his pride, how could he? He had been mastering Hwoarang for ever since his teenage years and he was proud of that, that he was expecting his win when he challenged Elsa to play 'Tekken' knowing that the latter was inexperienced playing games. Oh how it hurt his ego when in 30 seconds his bias Hwoarang got defeated. He sighed to himself, well at least Elsa was enjoying herself and that's what important…if his defeat was what would make her happy then he was willing to give it to her. 'Whoah! Did you just say that?'
He cleared his throat unconsciously.
"Now prepare for your defeat Jack!"
oOoOoOoOoOoOo oOoOoOoOoOoOo oOoOoOoOoOoO
After rounds of playing 'Tekken' and 'Time Crisis', the two decided to rest for awhile and to cool themselves at the ice cream parlor nearby.
They sat on the bench after having their orders. As he licked on his ice cream, Jack had an idea to kill time, "How about we continue our game?"
Elsa looked at him in confusion, "Game?"
Jack pouted, "20 Questions remember?"
"Oh!," she exclaimed remembering their game yesterday. "It's my turn already, right?"
"No its mine already!"
Elsa narrowed her eyes, "Well…If I remembered correctly, it was already my turn because you're the one who last too his turn yesterday by asking suddenly for my phone."
Jack smiled at her sheepishly, "I thought you would forgot…fine go on ask me!"
Elsa pursed her lips as she thought of a question, "What's the most embarrassing thing you've ever done?"
Jack paled, "Well…more like the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to me."
Elsa shrugged and smiled as she noticed the way his forehead sweat.
"Ummm… I think it was when I peed on the pool." He whispered.
Elsa's eyes bulged-out, "What?!"
Jack bit his lip, "Well, Pippa and I were swimming and then suddenly I felt that I have to pee, thinking that no one would notice because where in the pool…I decided to pee in there…but then…I didn't notice that as I pee…something also came out from my butt."
Elsa held her hand on her mouth, preventing herself from laughing, "W-wait…lemme guess…so you didn't just pee?"
"Uh-huh."
Elsa couldn't contain herself anymore she let out her laughs, making the man beside her reddened even more. "W-what happened?"
"All the kids climbed out of the water immediately as if they just saw a shark or something…and I was left alone there."
Elsa faked pity, "Aw…poor Jackie." Then bursting out again. "Y-youre…hopeless!"
"Hey I'm only eight at that time!"
Elsa continued to laugh.
Jack grumbled, "Okay my turn. So…what's your favorite movie?" he asked as he swallowed the last bits of his cone.
Elsa beamed, "I like all the Disney movies!"
"Screw that, Dreamworks is better."
Elsa finished her ice cream immediately before standing up from her seat in complaint as he looked at Jack seriously, "No! Disney is way better than Dreamworks. Just imagine how influential the movie 'Winnie the Pooh' is, it captures the heart of not only kids but also adults! And the Disney Princesses? Did you notice how wonderful they are? The way they—"
Elsa continued to blabber about how the Disney was more interesting than Dreamworks; sure it was nice hearing her opinions and he would gladly object in everything that she would say, but Jack didn't care anymore. He continued to stare at Elsa, her round blue eyes that would attract everyone full of wonder and innocence, her platinum-blonde hair that was so silky and long laid on her shoulder tied on a braid, her porcelain like skin that even sun cannot penetrate through that he had the urge to caress to feel its smoothness and softness, lastly her lips… it was unbelievably natural the way her red lips moved in every word that she said…it looked so irresistibly sexy and tempting…too much that made him want to kiss her. Then something caught his eyes, it was a smudge of brown at the corner of her lips…was it chocolate?
Realizing what it was, Jack slowly stood from his seat until his eyes leveled her lips. He could say that Elsa stopped from her talking because of the gasp that he heard from her, but he didn't care. It was now or never, he slowly leaned in, breathing in her scent that he got immediately addicted to, and ever so slowly brought his lips near hers and licked the tiny particle of ice cream laying on the corner of her mouth.
Elsa on the other hand stood still from her position, she was too shocked to move…seconds ago she was telling him the reason why Disney is better than Dreamworks then suddenly his face suddenly got neared hers.
She could feel his breath fanning her face and the way his tongue met her skin, just a simple action made her lose all her energy, was it just her or it was already taking too long? She bit her lip and let him do his task. She lacking of strength since she's holding her breath, she reached for his arms and held him tightly.
They stayed from that position lost in the sensation it brought to their bodies, no one moved or backed away. Even though her mind and heart were already debating about what to do with their current situation, Elsa continued to stood there holding his arms as Jack stopped licking and just pressed his lips on the corner of her mouth.
Elsa feeling the need to move her lips to meet his was about to take the action, when they both felt vibration on Jack's pocket.
With the sudden interruption, they suddenly broke from their own world and were brought to reality. Noticing the distance between them, Elsa step backed and looked at the ground to shy to face him now.
Jack sighed from being interrupted; he flipped out his cellphone and frowned when he noticed who the sender was. He looked at Elsa who was looking at him questioningly, "Pippa." He answered simply.
"Is she looking for you?"
Jack nodded, before reaching his hand out to her, "Come on, I'll drive you home."
Elsa let out a small smile and accepted his hand.
oOoOoOoOoOoOo oOoOoOoOoOoOo oOoOoOoOoOoO
Their drive was filled with silence but not an awkward one, like they had yesterday. No one talked about what happened…they just sat there enjoying the moment.
Elsa looked at the window as images of earlier events filled her mind. Did she just think about kissing Jack earlier?
She sighed, once again guilt started to envelope her, how could she forget about Eugene everytime she's with Jack?
The answer was…
She didn't know.
But there was one thing that she knew.
She really did enjoy the sensation his lips brought to her skin.
The car put to a stop, and Elsa realized that they were at the front gate of the condominium. Jack opened the window and ushered Elsa to wave at the guard, the guard recognizing Elsa as one of the condos tenants, smiled as he let them enter the gates that he opened. Elsa told him her building.
When they finally reached their destination, Elsa slowly slung her back on her shoulder before smiling at Jack.
"Thank you…for everything; I really did enjoy your company."
Jack grinned at her, "Me too…I hope to see you again."
Elsa giggled, "Of course, we will meet again…at school maybe?"
"Right…I have to drive Ethan at school tomorrow."
"What a good uncle you are."
Jack smirked, "Told you I'm a good boy!"
Elsa shook her head, before opening the passenger's door and stepping out of the car and closing it.
Jack rolled down the window and peeked out of it, catching Elsa's gaze. "Elsa, can I use one of my turns now?"
Elsa giggled, "You're no fair…always using turns at the end of the day."
"Come on…please."
"Okay."
Jack gulped and prepared himself, "Are you currently dating anyone?"
Elsa paused, too taken aback from his question. She unconsciously looked down at her hand and groaned mentally when she felt relief about the fact that she forgot to wear her engagement ring.
She decided to tell him the truth now, before it's too late and one of them would get hurt. She would tell him about Eugene and that they were engage and were planning to get married. She would tell him everything now. So she breathed out and looked at him.
She uttered out her words.
Then Jack beamed.
She raised a brow from his reaction. He was smiling at her, it was so sweet and happy and full of hope. He bid her goodbye and winked as he rolled down the pedal of the window, not before smiling sweetly at her again.
That's when everything had sink in.
And she wanted to punch herself right now.
Instead of turning away from trouble…
She just took one step closer to it, as she remembered her answer earlier.
"No, I'm not dating anyone."
