Chapter 3: Kristoff's POV
I stood by a window and watched Anna run off and then trip over and fall on a lady and apologize continuously.
Cute, I chuckled. Anna was way too clumsy, I was cautious of her working here at the cafe. I must admit I still am, she's always managing to have at least one accident a day, today she dropped a cake on Mr. Stride's head. I smiled remembering her face, she's gorgeous... I sighed looking down, oh Anna how can I tell you I love you? We have known each other for years, I hadn't always been in love with her though. Maybe it was because of our age gap, three years can be pretty awkward when you're young.
The day I fell in love with her was the day she finished school, her friend Rapunzel threw a party in celebration of being finally "free". I was invited to the party, and I remember standing next to the fridge drinking beer with Eugene, Rapunzel's trouble making boyfriend, when Anna arrived. I can't put into words how she looked, all I could say was wow, she was wearing a pair of brown jean shorts and a green top, she had done her makeup beautifully and just wow. Ever since that night I had been in love with her, and just wished I knew how to tell her...
Elsa's POV:
I switched my sitting position on the sofa, come on Elsa you have to write, you've been stuck on chapter 8 for months! ugh! I've been wanting to write a novel but have been struck by a severe case of writer's block. I crashed my head down on a cushion, it was no use, I had a serious case of writer's block and now all I could think about was Anna.
Anna, Anna, Anna.
God she had taken over my head today! No girl has ever had such an effect on me, even my ex girlfriend Aurora who I was with for over two years. I wondered if Anna saw me, what would she think? Would she not care at all or would she act like me, a love stricken stalker?
I wonder what she thought of my note... what if she thought it was weird and creepy? My chest tightened, of course she would, wouldn't you, Elsa? I began to breathe heavily, what did I do? You idiot, you stupid fool! Now she's going to hate you! I began to wheeze from the panic attack I had given myself, way to go Elsa. I grabbed a paper bag from the coffee table, I always made sure I had one around me; I suffered from severe anxiety which caused a lot of attacks. I placed the bag to my mouth and took deep breaths, conceal it, don't feel it... conceal, don't feel...
Soon I got my breath back to normal. When I was younger my father told me to conceal it, to not feel the fear. I miss my dad...
My mobile began to ring, it was Olaf.
"Elsa!" he shouted.
"Yes?"
"We've been invited to a very special party!"
"Ok..." I bit my nails, god I hated parties, too many people "why is it special?"
"It's a secret"
"Look Olaf you know I don't do parties..."
He cut me off "Ok fine, its special because Anna is going"
"What! Really?" I asked excitedly.
"Yeah, oh! And I've been doing some research on her and well I found her facebook page, her name is Anna Summers and she likes chocolate, like really really likes chocolate. It's actually kinda weird, most of her pictures are of her eating chocolate or chocolate she bought from the shops, there's over one hundred"
I giggled, god how much more cute can a girl get? "So did you add her or…?"
"No, no not yet, I might later, after the party but only maybeeeee…."
"What's up with the maybe? You said it weirdly?"
"Oh, no I didn't! Um no"
"Olaf?" I raised my eyebrow.
"Just trust me"
"I really shouldn't but ok, I will only because you managed to get us invited to a party Anna is going to. Anyway how did you get us invites?" I questioned.
"Umm well you see... see you tomorrow!", and with that he hung up.
Damn it Olaf, what are you planning?
~~x~~
"Once again, Elsa, you fail to write something remotely decent!", Hans snarled at me.
"And once again, what's wrong with it?" I sighed.
"Everything!" He pinched the bridge of his nose. "I need some coffee, maybe you could be useful once in your life and get me some coffee."
I laughed, "I'm not the coffee girl, get your own damn..." an idea came to my head, what if I did become the office's coffee girl? I could see Anna everyday... "so what coffee do you want?" I smiled.
Hans looked at me suspiciously, "umm okay, I guess I'll get a latte" he slowly gave me money.
"Shouldn't be too long!" I said leaving the room to the next.
"Hey Olaf, Marshall, Merida, Mulan!" they turned to me, they all wrote the sports article, which made sense because they were all pretty athletic, except for Olaf; I really wasn't sure why he wrote for this article, maybe because his little brother Marshall wrote this too. "Do you guys want me to get you some coffee?"
"Oh, that would be great if you could", Merida said in her thick Scottish accent.
I quickly wrote down their orders to avoid any possible mistakes. I then moved to the fashion room, only Edna wrote for this article. As I entered the room, the tiny lady walked up to me and looked me up and down.
"Oh, darling you really must change your style, a pencil skirt and blouse makes you look like a dying old woman."
"Hi, Edna", I giggled, she was the Hans of fashion "I'm getting everyone coff-"
Edna cut me off. "Yes yes, a mocha will do", she shooed me out of the room.
"Wait Edna, you need to pay me for your ord-" she already closed the door on me "Never mind."
I made my way to the cafe, it wasn't as busy as yesterday, but it was still busy. I could see Anna, she was singing. God everything about her was so beautiful.
I waited in line to order, wanting to write to her again; I had post it notes with me. Finally it was my turn to order; at the counter in front of me was a giant blonde man, he looked rather familiar.
"What can I get you today then?"
I looked at my list of coffees "Uh, two lattes, two mochas one espresso and one cappuccino to go, please"
"Alright, just promise me not to drink it all in one go, I can't afford for another customer to have a heart attack", he joked.
"Does that happen often?" I smirked, handing him the money.
"Unfortunately, yes" He points out an old man with an oxygen tank sitting down reading a newspaper. "Old man Peters has a bad heart and has had three heart attacks here so far, we make sure he doesn't drink coffee or have a fry up, but sadly it doesn't help much though", he shrugs.
"That's terrible..." this guy is really nice... I wonder if he and Anna are close... oh for goodness sake, Elsa! "I-I should let you serve these people behind me", I smiled weakly, standing aside while my coffee was being made by some dude with brown hair.
My eyes wandered to Anna, she had just finished her song. She is so short I thought, cute! She again disappears into the back room leaving behind her guitar inside and comes out again picking up several coffees.
"Uh, you ordered two lattes, two mochas and..." she asks me.
"Y-yes, thank you", I blush taking the coffee.
"Have a nice day!", she chimed, her face close up is gorgeous: I can see every single one of her freckles on her face, its so cute and oh lord her lips wow... I suddenly realize I'm staring "Uh... y-yes, you t-too", I stutter walking away. I swiftly hide behind a ridiculously large man and quickly got the post it notes out along with a pen, can't let Anna see me. Once I finish writing, I stick it onto the back of a nearby chair and went back to work.
~~x~~
I applied my red lipstick; Olaf was coming to my flat in a minute to take me to the party. Tonight I wanted to make Anna notice me. I wore a short ice blue dress, with heels to match and decided to have a single braid with the bangs pulled back. I had spent an hour debating whether or not I should wear purple eye shadow; I've been told in the past I look pretty with it but I was scared I would look like a hooker, with the red lipstick short dress and all, I decided in the end to take the risk.
There was a knock at my door, I went to open: Olaf stood there wearing this ridiculous snowman t-shirt.
"Wow, Elsa you look tall"
I laughed, I have always been much taller than him but in heels I truly towered over him.
"And you look kinda pretty, too, I guess?" I rolled my eyes at his attempt of a compliment.
"Am I too overdressed?" I asked nervously; I wanted to look perfect tonight, for Anna.
"Oh no, not at all, don't worry, girl, I'm sure Anna will think you look amazing", he smiled.
"So shall we get going?" I smiled leaving my flat and locking the door.
~~x~~
We soon arrived at the house and dear lord, it was a wreck. Outside, beer cans and food littered the floor, there was a girl throwing up a load, and the music was deafening. "Oh god", I said under my breath, my anxiety building up.
"Come on", Olaf grabs my hand and takes me to the back of the house, to an open window.
"Um, why are we here?" I asked, raising my eyebrow at him.
"Elsa, I love you, but I haven't been a hundred percent truthful to you. Now can you give me a boost into this window?"
"We're not invited are we?" I sighed.
"No we are not"
"I can't believe you"
"Yeah... boost?", he tried again, checking our surroundings so that no one would see.
"Fine!", I grunted helping him up into the house. I then handed him my heels and climbed in. We entered a pink bedroom, with a bunch of painting of lanterns. "Pretty", I whispered, putting my heels back on.
"Come on", Olaf drags me out of the room.
We make our way to the living room; it was full of people, all very drunk and possibly high on something.
"Be right back, you wait here, ok?" Olaf shouted, leaving me next to a table full of drinks; I nodded in response and grabbed myself a strawberry cider. I put the sweet drink to my lips and began to drink. Normally I didn't drink at all but tonight I needed some confidence if I was going to speak to Anna, where was she anyway?
I hear a cute squeal from behind me, I turn around and its Anna smiling at me, fuck fuck fuck I'm not ready to speak to her.
"Hey, you look so familiar!", she said to me smiling, fuck fuck.
"Oh uh h-hey", I gaze into her amazing teal eyes, fuck.
She strokes her chin "Hmm...oh, help a girl out, who are you?" she winks at me.
My jaw drops. Oh god she just winked at me, Anna just winked at me. "Oh, y-you, I-", she quickly interrupts me.
"You must be Rapunzel's cousin!", she gives me a big hug.
No "Yes" I responded automatically, what the fuck, brain?
"Emily, right?" she asks pulling away from our hug, our hug.
"Y-yes" seriously what the hell, Elsa?
"Oh god its so awesome to finally meet you! All Punz does is tell me cool stories about you."
"Oh yeah, cool, I'm glad Rapunzel tells you good stories about me and not the embarrassing ones" might as well go with the flow.
"You're like my hero, I mean not my hero, I mean you sound epic and you're like, wow, this is awkward, not that you're awkward, I'm awkward, you're gorgeous! Wait what?", she blushes.
My eyes widen, HOLY CRAP THAT'S ADORABLE, and she just called me gorgeous wow…
"Thank you, you are beautiful yourself", I smiled, keeping calm unlike my brain.
"Oh thank you b-but you look beautifuller", she paused, god so cute, "that's not even a real word...", she turns around and screams running towards a girl with short brown hair "Hey Rapunzel! I found your cousin Emily!"
FUCK NO.
I quickly ran to the nearest room, why did you lie? Oh god! Oh god I can't breathe! Conceal, don't feel… I find myself now in a bathroom, there's a tall blonde guy pissing oh come on!
"Uh..." the guy turns to me, its the nice guy from the cafe.
Oh for fuck's SAKE! I suddenly collapse and all around goes black.
