To Guest: Thank you for the encouragement, it means a lot to me to know that you really like my story :) So, this is for you, the loyal readers who read and review the story every chapter !
"Anna ! Come in." Kristoff says enthusiastically as he holds the door opened for Anna to come in.
She hugs him, it's been quite a while since their last encounter. "He Kristoff."
Kristoff gives her a tour through his house and she's impressed. It's a modern house with a lot of grey elements. The kitchen is grey, a few walls are grey and his couch is grey. "I guess grey's your favorite color ?"
He nods. "Yup, I think it's a beautiful relaxing color." He says as he pets the Great Dane standing next to him. "And it's the color of my dog. Want something to drink ?"
"Do you have hot chocolate ? I mean, it doesn't have to be hot, it could be cold. Although, I prefer hot of course. But Elsa always wants it cold so to be not out of the loop, I drink it cold too. But it gives me the chills, not that that's so bad, OHHh and I like marshmallows in my chocolate ! But like I said, it doesn't have to be hot chocolate. It also could be something else ? Ehm let's think, OOOH, what about brewed chocolate coffee ? That sounds really delicious. But I don't know how that'll taste, I've never had coffee before. Ehm ok, I don't know. What do you have ?"
Kristoff chuckles. This girl is just unbelievable ! "How about some tea ?"
"You have that ? Then I'll take that, thank you !"
He goes back to his kitchen to make something for the two of them. Anna places herself on one of the grey couches. The big dog comes over and lays his gigantic head on her lap. She squeals.
"Are you alright ?" Kristoff's head pokes around the corner to see what had happened. As soon he sees Anna's position and his dog resting his head on her legs, he laughs. "That's alright, Sven won't hurt you."
"His name is Sven ?"
He nods.
"That's a really cool name !" Anna turns to the dog. "Hi Sven ! Nice to meet you." Sven lifts his paw and looks at her adorably. Anna shakes it and cheers. "AAwwww, Kristoff, he's totally adorable. He's one big softie !"
"I'm glad you like him. He's usually not really into people but he seems to like you too." Kristoff says while he holds a tray with tea and bonbons.
Anna notices the bonbons. "O MY GAAWWWD, are those French Bonbons ?!" He nods. "YAAAYYY, you know. Those are the best in the world ! I love bonbons, I love chocolate. O my gosh, can I have one ?"
"Of course." He chuckles while giving Anna a few chocolates. She stuffs them all together in her mouth.
"Hmmmm, bwats weally tasy !"
Kristoff sits next to her on the couch and pets Sven. He smiles. She's really one of a kind.
"So. How long do you live here ?"
"I moved in a year ago, I think. I love the city and I wanted to live near my work. I didn't have Sven at that time but if I had had him, then I probably lived near the forrest because he needs a lot of exercise."
"He's really beautiful, where did you get him ?"
"Well, I didn't specifically get him anywhere. I found him."
Anna frowns. "You found him ? Where ?"
"I found him in the woods. I was walking that afternoon and I saw something tied to a tree, left for the wolves. Turned out that it was this cute little dog and he was starving. So, I untied him and took him to the vet, he got treated for three weeks and then I adopted him. He became my best buddy and since then, we're inseparable." Kristoff smiles and pets Sven. He's so lucky to have a buddy for life !
Anna melts. "D'aaawww, that's so sad and cute at the same time. I hate it that people mistreat animals, especially dogs. You're an angel, saving him like that. I, myself, am a huge fan of animals. When Elsa and I were little, we never had pets. But now, Elsa has a white german shepard dog and he's the best. And I love horses. I think they're cute and you can ride on them and they'll carry you to where ever you want."
"So you're also an animal lover."
Anna nods her head so hard that it might have fallen off if it weren't connected with the body.
"Then we have that in common !" Kristoff cheers.
They sit for another two hours, talking about family, friends, food and animals. Anna is having a great time, she really likes Kristoff and he really likes her. She realizes that the more they talk, the more she discovers that they have a lot in common. He's just so amazing ! I never knew this kind of feeling, it's weird and exciting at the same time. Myabe Elsa knows what it is ? In the afternoon, Anna has to go home and Kristoff decides to walk her out with his dog.
"I really had a great time." Anna informs.
Kristoff smiles shy. "That's good. Me too."
"So, how's your family doing ?"
"Ehm my family is doing great I think. I dunno, we're not so talkative and we don't see each other that often. But if there's something wrong, they will let me know."
"My family isn't that talkative either, although, Elsa is getting much more now. My dad just talks, but not about everything. My mom did talk a lot so it was her and me talking all the time, leaving my dad and sister silenced at the dinner table. They were completely comfortable with it, I think they liked listening to our rambling."
Kristoff nods. He never has been that talkative, he finds it much more interesting to listen instead of talking. The stories he has heard during his life are amazing and he can't wait to hear Anna's story. At school, Kristoff never had been the popular guy. Sure, he was attractive but he was hopelessly shy and didn't dare to talk to girls. He was a very bright kid and loved to cook, Julia Child was his role model and he'd do anything to cook her dishes. At the homefront, things were normal. His five brothers, Kristoff's the third, were always very kind and they cared for each other a lot. The relationship between them was civil, they had their arguments, but never really fought. Animals has always been a big deal in the family, they lived on a farm and bred reindeers for a living. His dad was Scandinavian and loved the animals from the woods. Kristoff and his brothers had always taken care of the calfs and mothers until an illness hit the animals and they all died. It was a very sad day because the family really had a bond with the animals. It took them three months to recover, then Kristoff's uncle started a restaurant, Oaken's Family Dine & Sauna, and involved the whole family. Now their restaurant was a well running business and Kristoff's dad and uncle own a few restaurants on several locations.
"So ehm yeah, this is my house." Anna points at the house.
"Ok, than this is the moment we have to say goodbye I guess." Kristoff rubs his neck.
Anna leans over and kisses him soft on the cheek. He turns as red as a tomato, Anna chuckles. "I had a really nice afternoon, we should totally do this again !"
"I liked it either, I'll call you..." He says and turns around. Anna watches him walk away slowly, hands in the pockets, humming softly. She giggles. Please turn around, please turn around. She thinks hopeful.
Kristoff walks away, really slowly. Should I, or should I not ? What if she thinks I'm weird ? But we've been seeing each other for a few months now. I'm going, I don't care ! He turns around and runs back to her. He grabs her back, pushes it against him and kisses her deeply on the mouth. Anna squeals, then she relaxes. She puts her arms around his neck and kisses him back. It's a long passionate kiss, but then Anna has to pull back because she's running out of breath. Kristoff is even redder than a tomato. Anna inhales dramatically.
"Oh MAN, I did not expect that coming ! I mean, not that I mind because I totally didn't. But don't think I didn't like the kiss because I did. I mean not that I loved it. Oh man, this is awkward. I mean, not your awkward it's just that I'm awkward. You're an amazing kisser and I just... Well, this is my first kiss so." Anna says sheepishly, she's totally embarrassing herself.
But Kristoff doesn't mind at all. Without thinking, he bends over and kisses her again, short this time. "See ya." He says with a smirk and turns around, leaving Anna with a confused face behind.
She is still not really herself, she's swooning over the fact of her first kiss and how good it had felt. She waves excitedly goodbye, then she jumps multiple times high in the air and screams. "OMG YIIEEHAAaaaaa, he just kissed me ! This was definitely the best day of my lifeeeee, my li-i-i-i-iiifeeee !"
It's the break of dawn and the sun rays hit John in the face. He slowly opens his eyes and stretches. Then he looks next to him and sees that Elsa is still asleep. He smiles, she's always been a vast sleeper. Always slept very quick and rarely woke up throughout the night. The sun rays hit her face perfectly. John studies her face, it's almost perfectly symmetrical and flawless. She has long eye lashes and thin eyebrows. A slim nose bridge separates the eyes and it ends in a perfect, slightly turned up nose. Under the nose are pink soft lips. The face is ended in a perfect sharp jawline till her ears. A long slender neck connects the body with the head. John lets his finger glide over the surface of her face, feeling every part of it. His hand then moves to her shoulder while his lips kiss her cheek. Elsa moans as she slowly wakes up. She turns her face towards his and opens her eyes. When she sees John, she smiles as he kisses her forehead.
"Morning, sleepy head." He says lovingly while his fingers stroke her shoulder.
"Hmmm, good morning darling."
"Do you remember anything from last night ?"
Elsa frowns. "Last night ? No, I was so tired, I think I didn't even get to see the end of the movie."
"You didn't even make it to the half !" John laughs. "But don't worry, I got you safe in bed."
Elsa's hand cherishes John's face. It's a very handsome face. Two gorgeous intense eyes, decorated with two thick eye brows. The nose bridge is sharp and looks like a bird's beak. His mouth is slim and he has a stubble which makes him look very playful. Her hand goes through his hair and plays with the strands.
"I've been thinking." John begins. "I want to take you out, like on a date."
"A date ?"
"Yeah, a date. Except, this date is not really a date. I thought, maybe we could invite Anna too ?"
"You mean, just spending some time with each other ?" John nods. "Yeah, sounds fun. What do you want to do ?"
"I thought... Ice skating perhaps ?"
"Oh yeahhh ! That would be great, it's been so long since we've done that. Oh we should definitely invite Anna, she adores ice skating even though she can't really skate. I'll ask her."
"Good, I was thinking about saterday ?"
"Sounds lovely, honey." Elsa stands up. "I'm going to take a shower."
Elsa goes to the shower and leaves John in bed. So, that's set. He thinks while leaning his head into his hands. I have to shower too, I'll be meeting Louis within one hour and it's really important ! But I can't just walk into the shower, or can I ? Elsa is known for taking long showers. If I wait, I'll never make it in time...
John stands up and walks to the bathroom. Elsa is already standing under the shower, softly humming. He undresses himself and steps into the shower.
"IIEEEHHH, JOHN. What are you doing ?!" Elsa screams, he scared her, showing up like that.
John smirks and wraps his arms around her wet body. "I came in to shower, I'm in a hurry you know."
"And you couldn't wait ?"
"Well, you're known for taking long showers and yes, I couldn't wait." He stops talking to look at her. "But I like what I see..."
"OHhh, you !" She says giggling while spraying him with water. "Ok then, let's shower together."
After the shower, John goes out. He told Elsa that he wanted to walk with Seth but that was just a lame excuse for what he's really going to do. He walks to a little shop where he has an appointment with the owner. It's a fat, short guy named Louis Slight. Although, Fat Louis would suit him better.
"Hahaaa, John ! I knew you would come !" Louis roars while he slaps John friendly on the shoulder.
"Hey Louis, I see I'm in time." They enter the shop.
"Well, come on in boy. Let's see what we have." Louis bends over and searches something. "This ?" While he's showing John what he has.
John nods his head. "No, it has to be really special. Like really pretty and special, something you see rarely."
"My my what a demands. Hahahaaa. Ok, maybe this then ?"
John studies the object Louis is holding. "Hmmmm, no it's too big. Can it be a little smaller ?"
"Is price a problem ?"
"Ehm no, it's not. It only has to be perfect and I'll buy it."
Louis nods. He searches further and opens a new closet. He pulls out the most beautiful things he has and shows them to John. "Ok, maybe this ? This one is really likable because of the details it has and it's still not too much. You know what they say, less is more !" He says while holding one up.
"Yes, that's it ! I really like it, it's perfect." John cheers. The object is indeed perfect, not too big, not too small. Just perfect. "That'll be it !"
He watches as Louis places it in a little box. "Well, it's nice doing business with you. You know, next time you need to buy jewelry for the lady, just drop by !"
"Will do. Thanks for the help Louis." John says as he walks outside with Seth and his little box. He opens the box to see his freshly bought jewelry again. The ring is beautiful, it's small and entirely made of gold. In the middle is a figure that resembles a snowflake, the snowflake is surrounded by blue diamonds. They reflect the sunlight beautifully. John smiles. She's gonna love it !
"OMG, Elsa. You never guess what happened today !" Anna screams through the phone.
"Tell me."
"Well ok. You know that today, Kristoff and I were going to meet ? Right, well I went to his house and he has a really nice house. Really modern, so beautiful. Anyways, we were talking and OHH, he has a dog ! A Great Dane and his name's Sven, Kristoff got him from the woods. Isn't that sad ? I really like his dog, he's a big sweetheart. So then we talked and then I had to go home and then I said him goodbye and gave him a kiss on the cheek. You know, a sweet kiss to let him know I was thankful for spending time with me. So he walked away and then he came running back at me and kissed me full on the lips ! I was like OMFG, a man just kissed me on the lips. And then I kissed him back, and then I had to pull back because of lack of oxygen and then I got all awkward about it and then he kissed me AGAIN but not long this time and then he walked away..."
"Wauw, Anna ! You had your first kiss ! Congratulations !" Elsa cheers. "That's so romantic, I can clearly remember my first kiss. It was, I don't know, magical !"
"Yaaaayyyy, it took him so long you know. I honestly expected him to kiss me earlier. But I don't care, he's a great kisser I have to say. And I think of him all day and I even dreamt of him last night ! And he's just so awesome you know, and he even smells good. And he's a chef cook so he can cook, which a lot of men can't, so he has some great qualities."
"Oh Anna, I think you're falling for him." Elsa giggles.
"Ya think ? You think he likes me back ?"
"Of course, who doesn't like or love you ?"
"Ehm, a lot of people from my class Elsa." Anna says deadpanned. "You know, Nicole, the uber bitch and her clan !"
"Well, tell her that your big sister says that she's crazy to not love you."
"OMG, YAAASSS you have to do that. Go to her, wearing your suit and your hair tied in a knot and your reading glasses on. Nicole is going shit her ass !"
"No Anna, I'm not going to do that."
"Aaawwww, please ? For me, your dearly beloved sister ?" Anna whines.
No Anna, really. I am not going to do that. But I'm really happy for you Anna, you deserve this so much ! We should totally celebrate ! You know, John asked me this morning if I wanted to go ice skating with him ! Maybe the two of you would like to come a long this saturday ?"
"Oh, you mean like a double date ? Sounds fun, yes, we're totally in !"
"Good, that's set then. I'll speak to you soon, and congrats again. What did dad say ?"
"I haven't told him yet, I thought I'd call you first. I'm going to tell him later. See ya sis !" And Anna hung up.
Elsa chuckles, her little sister is getting big. She shared her first kiss ! Elsa is proud of her, she's doing great in life, soon she's moving out and is going to live on her own. She grew up so fast, yesterday they played together in the snow and now she just kissed a boy !
