Chapter 5: Hans's POV
Elsa had just finished typing up her work and came to show it to me; I had to admit, she was an amazing writer, a lot better than me, but there was no way in hell I would ever admit that out loud.
"Why do you even bother showing me your work, Elsa? Its shit, no, beyond shit"
She rolled her eyes at me "if it's so shit, then why do you insist I write every day? Why don't you just go to the boss and make him fire me, hmm?" She put her hands on her hips and glared at me.
"Oh, you don't think I've complained about you a thousand times?" It was true, I had made a dozen complaints about her to the boss, my older brother Eric, but he knew it was out of envy of her good writing to why I'd complain, so he'd just laugh me off every time; I mentally growled at him, he was a fool, he didn't deserve that job, I did! I was far more worthy of it.
"Do you want a coffee?" Elsa spat.
"Would you please?!" I responded in a vicious tone, glaring into her ice blue eyes.
She then left the room after I handed her the money. God, I hated that stupid bitch. I huffed reaching into my pocket pulling out my mobile, my fiancée insisted I call her several times while I was at work. I searched for her name "Snow" and proceed to call her.
"Hey hunny" I tried to put on my best happy voice.
"Hey sweetie, how is work so far?" she asked happily.
"It's been ok, nothing special has happened"
"You sure?" her voice became a bit agitated.
Here we go again "of course hunny"
"So if I called into your workplace they'll tell me you're there?"
"Where else would I be?"
"In bed with another woman" she snapped.
"No hunny no, you know I love you and only you" Lie.
"Good, I love you too" her voice began to calm down "I have to meet father for lunch now, call me back in a few hours please?" she pleaded.
"Will do, love you Snow"
"Love you more, bye."
I hung up on her, DEAR LORD I hated that over obsessed pathetic bitch, more then I hated Elsa; the only reason I put up with her was because she was extremely rich. I began to drool at the thought of her money, once we marry it'll be my money, and at last I will be able to drop the prince charming act, the stupid cow would never dream of divorcing me. I laid back into my chair grinning evilly to myself.
Elsa's POV
I walked to the cafe with Olaf; he decided to tag along to apologize to me about the party the night before.
"I'm really sorry Elsa. Marshall wanted to come and he's way too big to climb through that window, so I had to sneak him through the back door. There was so many people, Elsa, I really didn't think you'd see Anna straight away" he explained looking at the floor.
"I fainted there, I fainted in a bathroom with a guy on my own, and that could've ended so badly"
"I know and I'm so so so sorry"
"It's fine, luckily he was a nice guy" I smiled remembering Kristoff "a very nice guy"
"What was his name again?"
"Kristoff"
"Oh... you know, you two looked a bit close… too close" Olaf giggled raising an eyebrow.
"What? No!" I laughed pushing my short friend playfully "we were just talking, he used to go to the same college as me, nothing happened" I said sternly, god Olaf would always get ridiculous thoughts and make a big deal out of nothing.
We soon arrived at the cafe, and we were about to enter before a thought hit me. Anna.
"Crap!" I muttered.
"What?" Olaf asked looking at me confused.
"Anna, remember? I told you I lied to her and got caught out!" I began to panic but before it could get any worse I heard a voice from behind; it was Kristoff.
"Elsa!" he smiled at me warmly.
"Kristoff" I smiled back.
"I see you got home safe last night" he chuckled, his hazel eyes only on me.
"Yeah... uh sorry about what happened back there…" I said quietly looking down at my feet.
"Don't be, it made my night"
Olaf nudged me and whispered "I'll get you the coffees and you talk to your boyfriend" I nodded wanting to kick him hard, Kristoff was just a friend. Olaf then left us
"Your friends seem crazy, you know" Kristoff smirked.
"Yeah, I guess they are a bit" I rolled my eyes.
"Are you crazy too?" he joked.
"Maybe" I rose my eyebrow at him "you want to find out?"
"Very much" his voice was lowered.
Crap... did I just flirt? Oh god no no no it wasn't meant to come out like that no...
I cleared my throat "uh well give me a bow and arrow and lock me in a room with my co-worker" I joked nervously, that was a terrible response but I think it at least killed the flirting mood.
He burst out laughing "you remind me of my sister's friend, a hotter version though" he blushed.
"Oh uh thanks…err how many siblings do you have?" please stop flirting with me, I don't love you, I love Anna... wait... I like Anna a lot, yeah that's right, not love, silly me...
"Nine; six brothers and three sisters, I'm the third eldest"
"Oh wow, that a lot"
"I come from a big family, a really big family. So what about you?"
"It's just me, literally just me; no family left" I shrugged, both my parents were only child so no uncles, aunts or cousins. My parents died when I was eighteen, it killed me to lose them and I was completely alone...
"Oh jeez I'm sorry about that, that's gotta suck… hey, want to take some of mine? it might make some more room in my house if you do"
We both laughed, all fears I had before were all gone now.
"Hey Elsa can I ask you something?" his face was bright red
"Sure what is it?"
"Well you're-"
I suddenly see Anna; I freeze up fuck fuck fuck.
"But really what I'm trying to say is-"
Crap, she's coming towards me, what do I do?
"-do you want to go on a date… like tonight? I-if you can, that is" Kristoff stuttered.
"Sure! Hey I gotta go now, bye!"
"Can I have your number then?" Kristoff asked grinning like an idiot, oh god she was close, so close I could see her freckles.
"Sure, Elsa winters! Bye!"
"Okay... then..." he sounded a bit confused.
I quickly ran away but then stopped after I heard Olaf behind me "El... Elsa!" he panted.
I stopped running now that I was far enough from Anna "oh sorry, Olaf"
"You're straight!" he points to me laughing wheezing a little.
"Huh?"
"You just accepted to go on a date with the freaky donkey looking dude"
"What?" I quickly thought back to what Kristoff had said "do you want to go on a date..." my eyes widened only registering now what he actually said, noooooo.
"Ha! You spoke before your brain could think again" he laughed "oh by the way, I gave Anna another note"
"You what?!" oh no no no.
"Don't worry, I just wrote she's beautiful and sorry that you're too shy to talk to her; I signed it with your signature Snowflake" he gestures to my left wrist.
"Ok, ok, where did you hide it?" I asked biting my nails.
"Uh... on the counter"
"Olaf..." I warned
"Don't worry, trust me"
"You said that before"
"Ok but this time don't worry, really"
"I hate you"
"Love you too"
Anna's POV
Finally it was the end of my shift, and today something amazing happened: a breakthrough with my Snowflake! Olaf, a regular here, came to the cafe to order a bunch of coffees and he handed me a note and whispered "it's from a friend, not me" and he left; I followed him, ignoring the several customers in the line waiting for me to serve them. I thought that if I followed him maybe he'd lead me to my Snowflake but when he got outside he ran off super quickly. I saw Kristoff smiling at me like an idiot before he walked off whistling a happy tune. Then I made my way back to work. Still ignoring the customers, I quickly read the note:
"Hey, I really love your freckles; they really make you look so cute. I'm sorry I'm too shy to speak to you in person, hell, I was even too shy to come in here today! It's just that you're so beautiful… sorry I had to make my friend give you this note, one day I promise I'll speak to you in person"
Signed by Snowflake. I smiled and kissed the note before going back to work dreamily.
My heart had skipped several beats, it was too amazing. They promised me they'll speak to me one day and oh god they think my freckles are cute and they also know Olaf… that should help, right? Maybe? …yeah, it helps! Now I just need to do some "research" on Olaf and meet my Snowflake!
"Hey Anna!" Kristoff called me while putting on his coat, it was also his end of the shift.
"Yep?" I turned around smiling brightly.
"So I asked that hot girl from the party out"
"And?" I awaited his answer, part of me wanted whoever this stranger girl was to say no to him, but he's my friend.
"She said yes" he grinned at me, he was lucky, extremely lucky.
"That's great!" good news all around…I grinned.
"Yeah, I'm taking her out tonight. I gotta go now, talk to you later yeah?"
"Yeah" I grabbed my guitar and left to go home.
