Leavin It On The Ice ch. 23
Elsa's POV
I definitely wasn't expecting Jack to in town let alone before our surprise instructor but I am really excited for this because it means that I get to spend with my older brother that I normally don't get since he's on the road a lot. He was a little miffed at me because I didn't tell him right away that I made the team but it slipped my mind along with me winning the first game but it doesn't matter since he's going to be coming to all of my games.
Jack sits in my desk chair, spinning around in it like a child but I have come to expect this from him because he can be very mature at time but then there are times that he acts like a child like right now as I shake my head at him. Anna wasn't helping the matter by sitting in his lap, squealing like a school girl but this is Anna that we're talking about and she has her childish tendencies as well, making me think that it's part of the reason why the two get along so well. Marshall sits next to me on my bed with a confused look on her face before turning to look at me with a raised eyebrow before gesturing to the two as I just shake my head with a small smile on my face.
"Your brother?"
"Yup" I said with a nod.
"Your girlfriend?" Marshall asked with me not paying attention to the question.
"Yeah… wait?!" I squeaked out.
"I knew it. Kristoff, owes me fifty bucks" Marshall said laughing boisterously.
"What?! You two dating?" Jack asked no longer spinning in my chair.
"N-No, Elsa and me aren't dating. Not that I wouldn't date Elsa because she hasn't asked me! I mean that I expect her to ask because I haven't asked her either. I never asked a girl before because she's gorgeous and I'm awkward. I'll just stop talking" Anna said blushing profusely.
"I see that some things never change" Jack said laughing at Anna's rambling.
"S-Shut you Jack" I said glaring at him then Marshall was holding her stomach as she continues to laugh. "You too, Marshall"
"Why? I didn't do anything" Marshall said through her giggling.
"You know what you did and my love life isn't something for you to bet on" I said crossing my arms.
"What love life?" Marshall and Jack asked simultaneously.
"I have a love life… I just don't date that often" I said feeling uncomfortable with the three staring at me.
"Elsa, I know and you don't have a love life. You're one to go out and ask someone because of your awkwardness and shyness" Jack explains.
"Just because I'm little awkward and shy doesn't mean that I can't ask someone out" I huffed out.
"I'm not saying that either but it does stop you from making the first move though. If someone asks you out than okay but I don't see you doing it" Jack said shaking his head.
"I'm sure that Elsa can do it if she wanted to" Marshall said nudging me with her shoulder.
"Yeah, I can ask someone out if I wanted to" I said hoping I sounded more confident then I was feeling.
"I don't think pressuring Elsa into asking someone just to prove a point is a good idea. If she wants to ask someone out then it should be on her own terms" Anna said reprimanding the both of them. "So apologize"
"Sorry Elsa, we were wrong and unfair to you" Jack and Marshall said apologetically.
"It's okay and I forgive you" I said smiling appreciatively.
I am definitely glad that Anna was here to stick up for me because I didn't want to go find a girl to ask out because there's only one girl that I wanted to ask but I don't think that I have the guts to ask her just yet. I look at the cheerleader and she has this look on her face that says that she was upset with the two for what they did but also she was upset about something else but I'm not sure what has upset her but before I could ask what was wrong, she gets from Jack's lap because she has early practice in the morning.
"I'll walk you to your room" I said standing up.
"You don't have to do that, Elsa" Anna said shaking her head.
"I know but I want and what kind of gentleman would I be if I didn't walk a lady back to her room safely" I said smiling. "Jack, don't go through my things while I'm gone because I know you will"
"I am offended that you would think that I do something like that. What king of brother do you think I am?" Jack asked holding his hand to his chest.
"You're my brother and snooping is something that you would do" I deadpanned. "Marshall, watch him"
"Gotcha roomie" Marshall said with a mock salute.
I closed the door behind us as we walked down the hallway towards Anna's room and oddly enough she was pretty quiet, looking very confused in her thoughts when I reached out to take her hand in mine. It does the trick to pull the head cheerleader out of her thoughts as she looks at our jointed hands then up at my face and I smile at her, making her smile back slightly but it went as quickly as it came before she drops her gaze to the floor. What was that about? Why does she look so sad? Did I do something upset her?
"Anna, are you okay?" I asked concerned.
"Do you… do you want to ask someone out, Elsa? Do you even like anyone?" Anna asked quietly.
"Well um there is this one girl that I like and I want to ask her out but I don't know if she like me back" I said rubbing the back of my neck.
"R-Really? Is she pretty?" Anna asked not looking at me.
"Actually she's very beautiful. She's the most beautiful girl that I've ever laid my eyes on and she has this smile that could light up a room. She has this eyes and when she looks at me makes feel like I could fly if I wanted to" I said giggling softly.
"She um she s-sounds amazing. You should ask her out"
"I don't know. I don't think she likes me the way that I like her and I don't want to mess up our friendship" I said shaking my head.
"You'll never know. She might feel something for you but doesn't know how to tell you" Anna said as she slips her hand out of mine.
I look to see Anna was still looking down at ground but now her bangs was covering her eyes, her shoulders were sagging and I see her trembling slightly causing me to worry and I know for sure that something is wrong. I reached to touch the cheerleader's shoulder, making her look up and I see the tears in her eyes as they stream down her freckled cheeks but she was forcing a smile as the look of hurt is obvious.
"Anna, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" I asked taking her face in my hand, wiping away the tears.
"I'm sorry Elsa. I don't know why I'm crying this time but I can't help it. It seems like all I do is cry but they just won't stop" Anna said hiccupping.
"Baby girl, I'm need to take a deep breath so you'll calm down" I said gently. "Do you think that you'll be able to do that?"
Anna nods as takes in a few deep breaths until her breathing even out before pulling her into my arms but she places her hands on my shoulder to push me away causing me to look at her confused. Did I do something wrong? Why is Anna pushing me away?
"I'm sorry but I thought I could do this but look like I was wrong" Anna said shaking her head.
"Do what? What are you talking about, Anna?" I asked confused.
"I thought that we could be friends, I really did but I don't when or how but somewhere along the way my feelings turned from being friendly to romantic. It hurts too to be your friend and knowing that you have feeling for another girl. I-"
I cut Anna off as I smash our lips together before pressing her up against the door of her room as our bodies meshed together perfectly with our lips dancing around each other in desperation to feel connected to each other. The head cheerleader lets a small moan as she holds onto my hips and I would've kept kissing her if the need for air hadn't become too great for the both of us but I rest my forehead against hers before giving her a quick peck on the lips. Anna's eyes slowly flutter open as she looks at me through hooded lids, staring at my lips for a moment then looking at me in the eyes with confusion written all over her face.
"I don't-"
"I like you, Anna. It's always been you and it will always be you. I just too scared to tell you because I didn't think that you felt the same way"
"I like you too, Elsa" Anna said smiling.
"Good because I want you to be my girlfriend" I said smiling.
"Yes"
"Yes?"
"Yes Elsa" Anna said giggling. "I want to be your girlfriend"
"About damn time" Meg said through the door.
"Meg!" Anna whines.
"What?"
"Stop eavesdropping" Anna said blushing like a tomato.
"If you two will stop dry humping on the door, I wouldn't have to" Meg said cackling.
"God, she's so embarrassing" Anna said burying her face into my shoulder.
"Your friend" I said giggling.
"Elsa?"
"Yeah"
Anna gets on her tip-toes and kisses me on my lips before pulling back slightly, smiling shyly then slipping into her room, leaving me alone in the hallway with a goofy smile on my face. I bounce up and down excitedly before dropping into the air, making a noise of excitement before covering my mouth as I quickly run down the hallway before someone comes out the room as I make my way back to room to find Jack and Marshall playing poker on her bed. The two look up at me to see the wide goofy grin on my face as my brother hold out his hand towards the artist as she slaps something into his hand as he looks at me with proud smile on his face as he gets up to pat me on the back.
"Get some sleep, Squirt because you have 5 am" Jack said chuckling. "It's about time you got the girl"
"What?" I asked dazed.
"Nothing" Jack said shaking his head as he leaves.
Anna's my girlfriend. Ann's my girlfriend. Anna's my girlfriend! Today is the best day ever!
