CHAPTER 3

"You're what?! Wait. I'm confused." Kristoff's eyes widened for a while and then he furrowed his eyebrows. "You're Elsa's girlfriend? How?"

I closed my eyes as I took a deep breath. I don't know if I'm allowed to tell Kristoff about this. But he's my best friend. And I trust him.

"Anna." He said impatiently. "How did you manage to get Elsa to be your girlfriend?"

"Well." I blushed hard. "Kristoff, you have to promise me that you won't tell this to anyone."

"Pfft. Of course." Kristoff said.

"Well it's more like a business deal, you know."

"Business deal?" He asked, clearly thinking. He looked totally dumb right now and if the situation is different, I would have laughed at his face.

"Elsa asked me. Well, Her cousin asked me to be Elsa's girlfriend. I mean, to PRETEND to be Elsa's girlfriend." I lowered my head.

"Shit! Are you out of your mind, Anna?!" Kristoff shook me, as he grabbed my shoulders.

I looked at him.

He shook his head. "You're going to be hurt, Anna. I don't want to see you hurting just because you have this obsession over Elsa."

I glared at him. "I am not obsessed at Elsa."

"Oh, yes you are." Kristoff glared at me. "It's not even healthy anymore."

I took a deep breath. "Well, I don't want to see her with another girl pretending to be her girlfriend." I crossed my arms. "Elsa is mine."

Kristoff rolled his eyes at me. "See the obsession?"

I stand up and walked towards the fridge, completely aware of Kristoff's pity eyes. I just don't want to look at him looking at me like that.

"So what's the plan?" He asked, as he followed me at the kitchen.

I gave him his beer while I drank mine. "Well, it happened like this…"

I should be at home enjoying my day off but I'm here fidgeting my nails as I wait for Elsa and Rapunzel to arrive. My heart hammers inside my chest as I stare at the clock in front of me.

Elsa's girlfriend? I am going to be Elsa Arendelle's girlfriend. A dream come true. But it's far from fairy tale. This is just a business proposition. I can do this. I just have to shut my heart down for a while.

But how can I shut it off if all I can think of is Elsa. Elsa. Elsa. It's like my heart beats for Elsa. For Elsa alone.

I realized that I was in love with Elsa when I was 15 years old; she was 18 years old at that time. My father and I were invited at her debut party and I was mesmerized. She looked like a goddess on her gown. She was so unbelievably gorgeous. I couldn't take my eyes off of her. We didn't talked because Elsa was so elegant and regal and I felt like an awkward teenage girl. I am so sure that she didn't even notice me. I wasn't that pretty. I just looked plain ordinary compared to her. And it's not really a surprised that Elsa didn't even recognize her in her office last week. Elsa clearly doesn't know me. Like at all.

My short trip down memory lane was disturbed when Elsa appeared in her office. "Oh god. I'm so sorry Anna. I'm late."

I smiled at her. "It's fine, Elsa."

She was carrying two envelopes, and she handed me the other. Her hair was in a messy French braid, which even makes her gorgeous. She looked very pretty even with her casual clothes on. She looked hot in jeans and sleeveless vest.

I am gaping at her like a fish out of the water. Snap out of it, Anna!

"I'm sorry for my clothes. I usually dress like this out of the office." Elsa said, her cheeks blushing.

Oh great! She just saw me checking her out. I looked down, embarrassed.

"You look good, Elsa." I said after a while.

"Thanks." She said simply.

"So…" I started.

"So…" She continued. Then she cleared her throat, "Rapunzel prepared this for me. I mean for us. A-and… I h-haven't read it, soooo…."

I nod. She looked so cute when she stutters like that.

"Where is Rapunzel?" I asked.

She looked at me, "She's not here. She went barhopping last night and she's not even awake yet. She told me to take care of the rest." And then Elsa looked down, "Do you want her here? I mean, we can talk about this next week if you want?"

I shook my head. "It's fine. Let's just get this over with then." I mumbled, my cheeks reddened as I imagined myself being Elsa's girlfriend.

"Okay. Let's start then." Suddenly, Elsa's tone became business-like. "Let's read it first then we'll talk about it after."

I opened the envelope and put out the papers inside it.

LETTER OF AGREEMENT

Between Ms. Arendelle and Ms. Summers

I, Anna Summers, hereby agree to a full disclosure of this agreement to become girlfriend of Elsa Arendelle for the time being. I cannot tell anyone about this and thus, I will continue to be her girlfriend until she said so. I will accompany her in events and family gatherings. We will remain a couple in publics' eye until Ms. Arendelle said so. I will remain at her disposal until she said so. I will be loyal and faithful to her and avoid to be seen in the arms of someone else for the time being. I will be her official girlfriend starting at this day.

Then I flip the second page.

Due to Ms. Arendelle's request, there are certain rules that is needed to be applied:

Anna can't touch Elsa until she said so and vice versa.

Anna can't kiss Elsa until she said so and vice versa.

There are no physical contacts involved unless it's in public.

Anna must move in with Elsa for the time being to make it look more convincing.

An instagram account will be provided for Elsa and Anna to spread the word of being together (courtesy of Rapunzel)

Anna and Elsa should expect a lot of interviews of them being together because of Elsa Arendelle's fame. They should have a similar story to tell.

Anna should never fall in love with Elsa and vice versa. This is just an agreement.

Anna will receive compensation regarding this job: A brand new sportscar, a penthouse apartment on one of Arendelle's hotels, a considerable amount of money as per Anna's request.

My mouth agape when I read the two last part. I looked at Elsa and she was looking at me expectantly. "Well?" she whispered. "What do you think?" she asked. Her tone sounds nervous.

I closed my eyes for a second. I crossed the part for the compensation and signed the contract at the bottom. The one with the 'Don't fall in love with Elsa' made my heart ache so badly.

Elsa looked at me, her eyebrows furrowed. "Why did you cross that out?"

"I don't need any compensation, Elsa. I just want to help you." I said genuinely.

"But-"

My heart ached as I spoke. "I won't touch you. I won't even kiss you. I will be available at your disposal. I will move in with you. I will do interviews with you. I will be available whenever or wherever you want me too. I also won't fall in love with you." I swallowed a lump on my throat, "but NO compensation." I looked at her, her eyes wide. "Please." I added with a smile.

"Anna." She said softly. "I'm so sorry for this. If you want to refuse, it's fine. Rapunzel is just so adamant, she even made this contract. I am completely embarrassed right now."

"It's fine, Elsa. I want to help you. Anyway, I'm your personal assistant right? I'm your apprentice. All I ask of you is to teach me. That is the compensation I am willing to accept." I said softly smiling at her. "Anyway. I just have one thing to ask."

"What is that?"

"Why? Why do you need a girlfriend Elsa?"

Elsa bit her bottom lip, and I was mortified by my sudden reaction at that gesture. That was so hot.

She cleared her throat, "Uhm, Rapunzel's parents are coming in two weeks and they're bringing someone with them. A man. And I just don't want to tell them face to face that I don't like it. I don't want to be manipulated but I also don't want to hurt them. They are just looking after me considering that I'm alone and all. So we figured, well it's my cousin's idea, that I need a girlfriend to shove their plan subtly. They would be happy to know that I have someone special. And then they'll stop worrying."

I nod. But there's something bothering me. I want to confirm it. "Why girlfriend?"

Elsa looked at me, and then ducked her head. "Well, I'm not attracted to guys."

I swallowed nervously. "So, you're really into girls?"

Elsa nods her head and avoided my gaze.

Oh wow. Elsa plays on my team.

"Are you?" She mumbles softly but I heard it nevertheless.

"I am." I said proudly.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" she asked after a while.

I shook my head. "None. Never had."

"Oh." Then she looked at me again, "Why?"

I gulped. "I have a huge crush on this famous girl and uhm…" Oh god Anna. Please stop. I blushed hard.

"Oh."

Then our eyes met.

Before I could speak, Elsa arranged the papers on the desk. "I think this would be a great opportunity for you to be famous too like your crush. She would know you and then you get a chance with her."

"I hope so." I mumbled sadly.

"You're a martyr Anna. A stupid martyr." Kristoff hissed at me. "You shouldn't have agreed with this. That contract is stupid. Well except for the part with the brand new sports car and the penthouse apartment and the money."

"Which I didn't agree." I corrected him.

"Yeah. That is the stupidest part of all the stupid things you've done!" Kristoff scolded me. "If you don't want the car, you should have given it to me."

I rolled my eyes. "I don't want to be paid like a whore okay?" My eyes are about to burst into tears.

"Oh Anna." Kristoff hugged me tightly. "I just don't want you to be hurt."

I wiped the tears away, "Well, it's too late. I am hurting. But guess what?" I pulled away from him. "I get the chance to be with her, right? Even for the time being. And then I'll move on."

"Move on? Can you even do that?" Kristoff asked. He doesn't believe me.

"I promise. I'll move on after this. I promise, Kristoff. Just let me do this. And support me. This will just be a dream that I don't want to wake up but I need to." I said softly.

"Okay Feisty Pants. Whatever you say. I believe you. Just guard your heart to the fullest. It will be a rough ride." He whispered and kissed the top of my head.
