CHAPTER 8

As soon as the bathroom door opens, I hurriedly ran towards it. I barely glanced at Anna who was wearing a robe on her way out.

"Elsa why are you runni-" I heard her say but I slammed the door shut before she could finish her sentence.

I breathe hard when I realized I am now alone at the confined of my bathroom. I combed my hair with my fingers as I inhaled the smell of Anna in my bathroom. Oh god! I guess I should have waited a lot longer for the amazing scent to come off.

Now, all I could think of was her. Anna. My wife.

I touched my chest. My heart is beating wildly. How will I survive this night without even touching her or kiss her?

The kiss.

The passionate kiss we shared twice earlier made my mind dizzy. She is just so delicious. She taste damn exquisite. Her tongue made me complete my name.

Dammit Elsa! You are a writer. Don't be so overly dramatic with that kiss!

But it's true. It's just so… It feels so… DAMN AMAZING.

Oh Anna! What would I do to have the opportunity to kiss you like that AGAIN.

Ugh. This is so NOT helping.

I lowered myself on the bathtub and closed my eyes. I need to calm myself.

What is taking her so long? Will I wait for her? Will I knock the door and ask her to come out so we can now consummate our marriage?

Wait, what?

Is Elsa ready for that? Well, I am pretty damn sure that I'm ready. I've waited for so long for this opportunity to happen. I just can't- Oh god! I need to top being a hormonal lesbian perv. I should wait for Elsa to decide on that. I hope she would agree to consummate this.

Ugh. Maybe I'm not that sexy enough? Maybe I'm not alluring enough for her. I mean, models usually surrounded her and I am just an ordinary girl. Why would she want me?

I glanced again at the bathroom door, and sighed. Guess I just need to sleep then.

The bathroom door opened as I tucked myself on her king-sized bed. Elsa stepped out of the shower with her robe on and I sucked on my breath.

She just looks so damn HOT.

Her hair cascades on her shoulders, the robe reveals just enough cleavage that made my mind swirls. I bit my bottom lip as my eyes lowered on her sexy legs.

I realize I was ogling at her just when the said goddess cleared her throat.

Shyly, my eyes met hers.

"Anna."

"Yes, Elsa?" I said, nervously. Tell me you want me, Elsa. Tell me you want me. Tell me… Please…

"Is it okay if I take that side of the bed? I usually sleep on the right." She said that made my jaw dropped. Guess not.

"Oh, okay. I'm sorry, I didn't know." I said, trying to hide the disappointment on my voice. I move away on the other side immediately.

"It's fine, Anna. We'll get used to this." She said softly as the bed dipped on her side.

I should have turned away from her but I can't help myself so the next thing I know, we were looking at each other's eyes.

The staring contest began and I don't have the power to look away from those blue orbs. Silence enveloped us.

Then I found myself studying the few freckles on her face. And then my gaze lowered and I am now boldly staring at her lips. I want to taste those lips again. I want to taste Elsa again.

I was about to make a move when Elsa spoke, "Goodnight Anna." She said and then turned away.

I was left speechless. And frustrated.

A knock on the door awoke me. Before I could stand up, Elsa beats me up to it.

"Who is it?" she asked.

"It's me. Are you two decent? May I enter?" Rapunzel said, her voice teasing.

I sat up on the bed immediately when Elsa opened the door.

"Stop with the teasing-"

But Rapunzel cuts her off. "Oh my. This room reeks of sex." She said, grinning widely.

I blushed hard.

Elsa smacked her arm. "We didn't do anything and you fucking know that!" she said way too angrily.

Rapunzel scoffed, "Geez. I was just kidding. Why are you in a foul mood anyway?" she glared at Elsa who just rolled her eyes. Then she walked towards me, and sat on my side of the bed. "How are you, Anna? Did you enjoy your sleep?" she said, her hand caressed my hand.

I smiled at her. Rapunzel and I had been close to one another ever since I moved in here. She helped me with the preparations of the wedding especially when Elsa wasn't around.

"Yeah. I did." I answered.

"I'm sorry for your room but you can always move in with me if you're uncomfortable with the foul-mood Elsa here." She said, and giggled.

I look at her dumbfounded. We were close but not this close. Why does she want me in her room now? What is her deal? And besides, what would Aunt Primrose think?

"I- Wh-" I stuttered.

Elsa cuts me off, "Foul-mood? Really Rapunzel?" she said, clearly irritated. "Besides what would your mother thinks?" she glared at her.

Rapunzel smiled at me, and then surprisingly, she caressed my face. "I'm just looking out for Anna. I don't want her to be uncomfortable."

"Isn't that my job? As her wife?" Elsa said in a scorching tone.

Rapunzel shrugged her shoulders, "Have u consummated the marriage, dear cousin?"

Elsa gritted her teeth.

"Figures. And besides, you're wedding is just like a business contract and I know exactly the details, remember?" Rapunzel grinned. "See you at breakfast, Anna."

Rapunzel walked away and slammed the door shut.

I saw Elsa clenched her fists.

"Elsa?" I walked towards her.

Elsa breathed. "She is getting under my skin." She said angrily. "She is manipulating me. I know her too well. This is just one of her silly games."

"What games?" I asked.

Then Elsa looked at me. Her eyes piercing into my very soul, "Do you still like her?"

"Huh?"

"Rapunzel. You told me you like her." she said, her voice devoid of emotions.

"Uhh… yes." I lied.

"Then we will make her jealous." She said unemotionally.

"What?"

"I thought you want her to be jealous?" she said.

Right! Kristoff's plan 101.

"Yeah. Right." I said, looking away.

"Then we will do it." Elsa said.

Elsa wasn't kidding. She did everything in her power to get back at Rapunzel. She was way too caring and sweet towards me that it was so obvious that this is all for a show. Well atleast for me and Rapunzel. Aunt Primrose and Uncle Thomas were way too happy to notice.

I wasn't even happy about it. I mean, I should because Elsa was so touchy-feely towards me but this wasn't how it supposed to be. Elsa just wants to get back at Rapunzel and the true purpose of my plan was way forgotten. Ugh. I'm going to kill Kristoff for this.

"Excuse me." I said, clearly not in a mood to finish my breakfast.

"What's wrong dear?" Aunt Primrose asked.

"I'm fine, Aunt Primrose. Guess I just need to rest for a bit. If you may excuse me." I said politely.

"Oh okay. I completely understand." She said, giggling like a schoolgirl. "Oh Elsa. You should have let your wife rest, you should be more considerate given that you exhausted her last night."

I blushed hard at the implications.

I looked at Elsa and she was blushing hard too. She cleared her throat. "I'll escort my wife on our room then, if you please excuse me."

"Elsa, I need to talk to you about some business matters after breakfast." Uncle Thomas said.

Elsa nods. "I'll be right back then."

Then Rapunzel stood up, "I can escort Anna instead. You can finish your breakfast, Elsa."

Elsa's face hardened as she stopped. "It's fine. I can do it. Besides, Anna needs me in our room, I think you all know what that means." She continued, her eyes filled with mischievousness that made my heart faint. If only it was true.

As we walked away, I could still hear their laughter and teasing. It just made me blush harder.

"Are you okay, Anna?" I asked her as soon as we were inside our room.

"Yes. I'm fine." She answered.

"Are you not feeling well?" I asked again, as I caressed her face. She stiffened.

"I'm just exhausted." She said, looking away from me. I felt guilty. Did I push her so hard by being overly sweet in the dining room?

"Did I make you uncomfortable?" I whispered softly.

She shook her head. "No."

"Then what is it?" I asked, cupping her chin to look at me.

My eyes met hers.

"I just felt that my heart is being played over and over." She said softly and that broke my heart.

"I'm so sorry, Anna." I said, my voice full of regret.

"It's not your fault, Elsa." She said.

I don't believe it one bit. I made her do this. I made her accept this stupid arrangement. Yes, I didn't force her but I shouldn't have accepted her help. I should be the one to blame.

"It is my fault." I said, closing my eyes.

"It's not y-"

I cut her off. "This marriage. It's a mistake." I said.

"No no no no Elsa. No. This is not a mistake. I don't blame you. I chose this. I agreed to this." She said in a loud voice.

"But-"

She cuts me off by pressing her lips against mine. Her lips were unmoving at first but then my hands gripped on her waist. I felt her hand on my neck pulling me tightly against hers. I surrendered at her touch.

I pulled her against mine and she just tightened her grip against my neck. My lips responded on her assault. Her tongue expertly moved inside my mouth that I moaned.

"Mmmmm…" I gasped as her tongue made contact with mine.

My mind is swimming and I felt hot all over. I wanted to take her. So badly.

I wanted to make love to her. I wanted to-

But then I realized something that made me stopped.

"It doesn't have to be real, Elsa. I know that this is just for a show. Besides, this might be the only way for me to get noticed by certain someone. So, this is also a win-win for me, you know."

"What do you mean?"

"I can make someone jealous."

"Maybe you could help me?"

"I don't understand."

"Maybe if she saw me with another woman, then I'll be desirable for her."

"It is Rapunzel, is it?"

"Yes."

I pulled away abruptly.

"Elsa?" She said as she caught her breath.

I straightened my body. "This. This can't happen again."

"What?" Anna asked, "Why?"

"You know exactly why Anna." I said, my voice cold.

"We're married-"

I cut her off. "This is just a fake marriage, and you know that. You don't have that kind of obligation to fulfill as my wife." I said, my voice filled with authority. I can't do this with Anna knowing that she loves someone else. I can't afford my heart to be broken. My heart remains with me and I am quite happy with that while her heart belongs to someone else. This will just end up badly.

Anna nods. She looked hurt but then her expression changed in an instant and smiled at me. "Yes, Elsa. I would never forget that."

I closed my eyes painfully as I looked at her figure walking towards the bathroom.

Days passed and we never talked about it anymore.

That night, when I came back into the room, Anna was already asleep. I heard from the maids that she and Rapunzel together with Aunt Primrose ate dinner together. Uncle Thomas and me took a long time discussing the company's business matters that we missed the dinner.

Anna and I just talked casually with each other during the day, no more intimate stuff happened. Usually when Aunt Primrose and Uncle Thomas weren't around, Anna ignores me most of the time. It made my heart clenched painfully but what can I do? This is for the better.

Our vacation leave was over and we're now back on being boss-assistant relationship. Anna was acting very professional and reserved when we were alone but acting differently in front of my employees and of course with my Aunt and Uncle. Sometimes I wonder if I like this kind of arrangement or not. I miss bubbly Anna. So bad.

"Ms. Arendelle, your meeting with Director Oaken is this afternoon at 3:00. Is that okay with you?" Anna said.

I looked at her. "Is there any chance that I could cancel it?"

"We cancelled it last time, I don't think he would be happy with that, Ms. Arendelle." She said, her voice filled with professionalism that I want her to snap out of it. But I can't. This is for the better.

"But Aunt Primrose and Uncle Thomas flight is this afternoon." I said.

"I am well aware of that. If you want, I could go with them. I'll just tell them that you couldn't make it." she said. "But if you really want to cancel the meeting, I could still make changes."

I breathe deeply. "We can't cancel any more meetings, I know. I'll just call them and make them understand that I can't bid them goodbye personally."

Anna nods. Without a word, she left my office.

"I'm going to miss you both." Aunt Primrose said.

"I'm so sorry that Elsa couldn't make it here. She has a lot of meetings that she couldn't cancel." I said.

"I understand, my dear. That niece of mine? She is really something, right?"

I nod. I tried to smile but it came out as a grimace. It's been weeks since Elsa and I had that talk. She wants nothing to do with me. I really thought that she likes me even for a bit given the intensity of the kiss we shared at our wedding. But clearly, I'm wrong.

Aunt Primrose hugged me tightly and then she whispered something at me that made my eyes wide. "Make her fall in love with you, my dear. This contract or agreement, whatever you kids called it, should be forgotten. You have my blessing, Anna. I like you for Elsa. I really do."

"What- No- What…" I stuttered. "You knew? All this time?"

Aunt Primrose chuckled. "Oh Anna. You think I'm too old not to noticed everything?"

I blushed hard. "Why did you force us to marry each other if you knew already?"

"I want to teach my daughter and Elsa a lesson for trying to deceive us, your poor old Aunt and Uncle." Then she laughed lightly. "But then, I got to know you and I realized how deeply in love you are with my niece so I decided to help you."

"Y-you knew that too?" I lowered my head in shame.

"You don't have to be ashamed my dear. I want my Elsa to be happy and I know you will make her happy." She said.

"You believe in that?" I asked, my voice sounds hopeful.

"She loves you already. She just doesn't realize it." Aunt Primrose said then she whispered against my ear again, "Make her realize it, Anna." she kissed me on the cheek and bid me goodbye.

I was left speechless.
