With the silence engulfing the freeze frame, Meg couldn't move. She didn't like this. Not at all.
"Nice dress, Meg. Well I say nice, I mean slutty" Elsa said, smirk on her face as she held onto Anna's hand. Meg's dress as a vivid red, there was triangle shaped hole showing off her midriff.
Anna hit Elsa's arm softly "Stop it" she tried to give her friend an encouraging smile "Meg you look lovely". It surprised her that Anna was still holding Elsa's hand, even after she insulted her best friend.
Ignoring Anna's comment, she gave Elsa a hard stare "You say slutty, I say eye-candy." A confident smile on her face, she walked over to the girls, deliberately swaying her hips. A plan forming in her mind.
They were kissing, so what. Anna has liked me longer. I'll remind her of that tonight. I'll get her drunk and show her. I'll get her back.
"Meg you, know I'm joking. You do look really wonderful." Something had changed in Elsa's face. She was looking at Anna, studying her, as if she solved all of her problems "Hercs will love it!"
"Hercs? Who's Hercs?" Anna's eyes, filled with curiosity, firmly attached to Meg's. Glass of wine back in her hand, she took a sip, pretending to be sophisticated "Do tell" A sly smirk on her face.
Meg was stunned. A blush forming on her cheeks. Who the hell cares about Hercules? Why are we talking about him?
"He's... He's just a friend" Meg stuttered.
"Just a friend? Do you even notice the way he looks at you?" Elsa stared at her friend in genuine disbelief. "Come, on I know we joke but seriously!?"
Meg sat down on the chair slowly. She didn't know what to say. All is fair in love and war, but would Elsa really stoop that low? Bring poor Hercules into this... wait what? Poor Hercules? That guy is is a self righteous ass-hole, why am I protecting him!
"Got a guy on the hook! Why didn't you tell me?" Anna was practically bouncing on her seat. Romance being her own version of heroin.
"He's an arrogant ass-hole, pretending to be a hero in shiny armour, but all he is, is a sneaky sleaze. He'll act like the most caring guy he can, using every line he knows, just so he gets what he wants! And that could be anything from being top of the class, to getting a girl to sleep with her!" Face red with anger and her breathing heavy, Meg realised she was ranting over her hate. For the first time since Anna had arrived, Meg was no longer obsessing over what her best friend was thinking. However now she realised it, looking over to Anna, she noticed that there was no jealously in her expressions. Nothing. Just an interest.
Meg felt lost. Not having Anna as an anchor, the one girl she could always count on, was draining her. She needed Anna to need her.
"Well it sounds like you care more then you should!" Anna winked.
"Well everyone should be here soon, and you'll get to meet him for yourself" Elsa chimed, loving Anna's innocent enthusiasm.
"Good! I need to make sure he's good enough for my girl!"
"Yeah, I can't wait for them all to arrive so I don't have to listen to this ridiculous conversation!" Searching for something to distract her Meg stood up "I'm going to need something stronger than this stupid wine … TO THE BOOZE" she stormed away from the girls and into her own room to find her hidden stash.
With Meg out of the room, Anna realised that the raging jealousy she usually felt when Meg talked about guys wasn't there. Anna felt free. Thinking about her reaction to Meg finding her and Elsa kissing confused her. I don't like Meg anymore, so why did I feel like I did something wrong? Meg's looked so upset. She tried to hide it but I know better. Maybe that's why I thought I was cheating, because Meg was... Meg was what? Damn, I think way to much about things. She probably was just shocked seeing us kiss. She's straight, why would she be upset!
"You're stuck in your head again" Elsa whispered. Anna didn't know when she had got there, but Elsa was sitting right behind her, arms slowing wrapping themselves around her waist and her chin on Anna's shoulder.
"I was just wondering what's going through Meg's head"
Anna felt Elsa's hold on her stomach loosen, a small sigh escaping her lips. Concern made her turn to face Elsa. The beautiful girl she has come to know. Her face seemed torn and hurt.
"Anna …" Hearing Elsa say her name caused a shiver run down her spine, but the tone of her voice made her body ache to hold her. She could see that something was heavy on Elsa mind, Anna wanted to scoop the girl into her arms. Nothing sexual, only comfort. The creases in Elsa's forehead send Anna body into an anxious spasm.
"What's wrong?"
"You .. you like Meg don't you?" Elsa looked Anna dead in the eye, a shimmer of tears threatened to escape.
What?
"Mm, you hesitated" Elsa sighed and pulled away from Anna, creating an unwanted and awkward distance between them that neither girl wanted "It's ok, I kind of guessed..."
"Wait no! I don't like her like that, well I did. But I don't anymore, I had an epiphany the other day. It was a long time coming, but it was because of you. You showed me that I just wanted to love someone. And that I was clinging onto her. The feelings I have for you are different and.." Anna took a breath as she realised she was rambling in her efforts to save her mistakes.
Anna took both her hands in Elsa's reluctant ones. "My feelings for you are real. They are small and building, but they are real. My feeling's for her were fake. I like her deeply as a friend, but I thought I loved her when I really just loved the idea of being in love."
Elsa looked searchingly into Anna's eyes. She didn't know what Elsa as looking for, but she hoped she found the truth. Anxiety held her as Elsa smiled sadly.
"If you say so"
Anna felt the world collapse around her. Tears daring to escape. But I chose you. Why don't you believe me? As fear gripped her, she didn't realise that Meg had re-entered the room with her classic Vodka and Lemonade. She didn't hear her announce that everyone will be there in a couple minutes. She didn't feel the glass in her hand or feel herself down the burning alcohol. All she did was stare at the empty space on the sofa where Elsa had sat and at some point she moved. But as she felt the effects of her warming stomach she waked her from her emptiness.
"Are you ok?" Meg sat down next to Anna "Alcohol hitting you already? You utter wetty" she giggled. Not waiting for a reply. Good because I can't talk right now. This is a first. "Where did Elsa go?" Anna wasn't sure if she asked or if Meg did.
The door barged open.
"Oh honey I'm home!" Sang a buffed up hairy man. He dumped the case load of beers on the table.
"Lets get this party started!" Another boy entered, this one was also stacked , but he looked clean cut somehow, showing off his muscles in a tight tank top while still managing to look non-douchey. His eyes found Meg and with a dramatic 80's style dance move he pointed at her and sang "Play that funky music white boy!"
A bunch of girls swarmed into the room laughing. One of the girls, hipster looking with brown hair grabbed a couple cans and practically danced over to Meg "Oh my God. Adam, Hercules stop! They have a new game Meg, its 'Only Speak In Song Lyrics' and Adam sweety your entrance doesn't count. 'Honey I Shrunk the Kids' is a movie not a musical"
She gave Anna a once over and a beaming smile crossed her face "You must be the famous Anna, I'm Belle" Clinking Anna's full glass (When did that re-fill?) with her can. Adam in the background practically shouted 'Don't Be Jealous of My Boogie' at Belle before he put on some real music.
Meg forced Anna to work the room and introduce herself to all of her friends. Anna did her best to join in conversations, but her mind and eyes were always wondering around the room in till she found Elsa. She was talking and laughing with a different circle of people, and whenever Meg and Anna went in her direction Elsa would skid past and join a different group. The 3rd time this happened, Anna gave up. Lets just have a good time, and talk to her tomorrow, when there is less people and less alcohol, because lets face it, you normally means an awkward conversation, add the dancing juice and we will have a problem!
Eventually everyone sat down and started on the drinking games. The classic 'Truth or Dare's and 'Ring of Fire' with new games that Anna didn't know, like 'Fuck You', 'Riddle Me' and 'Finish my Sentence'. Everyone was in fits of tears, laughing in till their sides killed.
"Wait guys, it's 10, we should get a taxi now!" Slurred Hercules. Anna had come to the conclusion that he as actually a nice guy, and Meg liked him too, she just didn't know it. Anna was planning on forcing Meg to talk about him later tonight. A sly smile playing on her lips.
Standing up Anna realised just how drunk she was. No more drinking tonight! Don't want to embarrass myself and throw up on Elsa. Elsa. Everyone was heading to the door, but Elsa was hanging around the table still, looking at Anna.
"Hey Anna, hurry up" Meg shouted out the door absent-mindedly clinging on to Herc's top. She so likes him.
"Hold on two secs" Anna shouted back, waiting in till it as only her and Elsa left in the room, she turned around to face the blonde "You've been avoiding me" doing her best to walk seductively towards Elsa.
"Didn't seem like you noticed" Elsa replied tight-lipped. Her voice seemed restricted, but her eyes were on Anna's hips. As much as she tried to deny her attraction to Anna she wasn't convincing enough to anyone.
Circling her arms around Elsa's waist, Anna pulled her forward and whispered into her ear "I like you" She planted a slow kiss under her ear, "I like you a lot" another kiss "And we are going to talk about this tomorrow" a hot neck kiss "When we are sober". Anna's hazed eyes seemed to ignore what her mouth was saying as they glued themselves to Elsa's cleavage. Her centre gave a thump inside her when she says Elsa gulp. A hot breath teased Elsa cold skin. Elsa. Elsa. Elsa. Anna couldn't think. All she knew was that she wanted her, and she wanted her now. Anna crushed her wet lips against Elsa's. Moaning as she felt the girl tremble. Picking her up, Anna shoved Elsa onto the table, climbing on top of her. She could feel Elsa's hands searching desperately for naked skin. A deep groan escaped her lips as she felt their legs slide in between each other. Hot, wet, passionate kisses sucked the air out of Anna's lungs. She wanted more, so much more. One of Elsa's hands dived into Anna's hair, pushing their mouths closer together. The other finally made its way to Anna's rear, she lifted up the dress and gained a firm grasp of her cheeks. Anna suppressed a weak squeak at the cold touch. Elsa pushed Anna down, their hips knocking together. Anna instinctively bucked against her, making Elsa moan. The glorious sound sent shocks through Anna's body. It sent her into a frenzy. Her kisses moved deeper. Her hands found the edges of Elsa's dress and pulled them up, so she could feel her slim cold waist. Elsa reacted by lifting her knee against Anna core making her gasp. The sudden lost of contact on Elsa's lips was uncomfortable, but Anna was soon forgiven as she trailed kisses down her neck. The heat in her body begged for more. She wanted to be touched. She needed to be touched. Elsa's thigh rubbed against her, and Anna could feel herself burning deep inside her. Yes she wanted to be touch, but she wanted to touch. Anna moved her hands down in till she found Elsa's waist band. She slowly lifted the elastic.
BUZZ BUZZ
"Fuck!" Elsa half-screamed.
"Sorry that's my phone" Anna replied breathlessly. She detached her hand from Elsa's clothes and sat up, so she as saddling her leg. Driving her hand inside her bra, she pulled out her phone.
"Don't apologise, that felt nice" Elsa gave Anna a hungry smile as she watch Anna practically fondle herself to get her phone. Her hands snaked up Anna's thighs, playing with her freckled skin.
Anna tried her best to keep her breathing calm and not think about what Elsa was doing. Instead of daring Elsa to move her fingers further up, she read the text and sighed. Stumbling off of Elsa, she rearranged her dress.
"It's Meg, she says to hurry up and get down to the taxi, otherwise it'll leave"
"Right … Meg..." Elsa huffed and climbed off the table.
Grabbing the girls hand, Anna kissed her palm "You know you have nothing to worry about with her"
Elsa walked towards the door so she didn't have to look at Anna, but she kept hold of her hand so that Anna knew that she understood. "Just talk to her … please? You two need to just … you need to talk"
They walked in silence to the taxi and hopped in.
"What took you guys so long" Slurred an over enthusiastic Meg.
Elsa stroked Anna's hand with her thumb "Oh just, talking" giving her girl a sly wink.
