Leavin It On The Ice ch. 26
Elsa's POV
To say that I'm nervous about my date tonight would be an understatement because I'm super nervous about it as my hands are clammy that I had to wipe them on the front of my pants. I had showered because I had practice earlier in the day and I don't want to smell like sweat but luckily the guys helped with my outfit which consisted of a simple formfitting black shirt, light blue jeans, jean hoodie with grey sleeves and hood and white Nike sneakers.
I stopped by the florist, picking up a bouquet of red and pink lilies before heading over to Anna's dorm and I raised a shaky hand to knock on the door when the door opens widely as two girls rush me. Before I knew it, I'm up against a wall with Ariel and Meg staring at me intensely with their arms folded over theirs chests, sizing me up and making me more nervous than I already am. I know that the two are good friends of the cheer captain and they are very protective of their friend but it's not like they don't know me or what I am like so they're not going to interrogate too bad… right?
"H-Hi l-ladies" I said nervously.
"What are your intentions with our Bambi?" Meg asked glaring at me.
"W-What?"
"Tactful Meg, very tactful" Ariel said rolling her eyes.
"What I need to know and I don't see the point in bullshitting here" Meg said shrugging her shoulders.
"Answer the question please, Elsa" Ariel said turning her attention to me.
"I'm just taking Anna to the movies with Nala and Simba"
"So you say but what are you planning to do after the movie, hm?" Meg asked raising an eyebrow.
"Dinner" I answered.
"After that?" Ariel inquires.
"A walk in the park then bring her back here afterwards"
"I want her back here, the same way that she left and you better treat her with trust or else" Meg threatens
"O-Or e-else w-what?" I asked fearfully.
"Lets just say that you don't want to find out" Meg said smirking sadistically.
I gulped loudly at Meg's threat because I know that the second-in-command with make good on her threats if you piss her off enough or endanger the people that she cares about and that's the last thing that I want to. I would have treated Anna with respect and like a lady even if the two hadn't threaten me but I have even more of a reason do to if I want to stay breathing and thankful the door of the door opens again.
"Will you two stop threatening my girlfriend"
I looked past the cheerleaders to see Anna in a simple dark green sundress that shows off her athletic body with heels, giving her a few more inches in height so she's standing two inches shorter than me. My girlfriend looks absolutely breathtaking and I'm finding it hard to think straight as I walk past her friends until I'm standing right in front of her, holding out the flowers towards her as she looks up at me with a mega watt smile before taking the flowers from me.
"Thank you Elsa. You didn't have to do this" Anna said smelling them.
"I know that I didn't have to but I want to and you look beautiful" I said smiling
"Thank you and you clean up nicely if I do say so myself. The girls didn't harass you too badly, did they?" Anna asked concerned. "I'll make them run stadiums if they did"
"Sorry for being worried about you" Meg scoffs mockingly.
"The thanks that we get for being good friends" Ariel said shaking her head.
"It's okay, Anna. They were just looking out for you" I said putting my hand on her shoulder.
"At least someone gets it" Meg said smirking.
"You're too nice" Anna said shaking her head.
"Maybe so but it can't be helped" I said shrugging my shoulders
"Come on, I'm sure that Nala and Simba are waiting for us. Later girls" Anna said taking my hand in hers.
We left the dormitory and walked towards the on campus theater to see Nala and Simba sitting on the fountain out front of the theater when the baseball player looks up to see us before walking over towards us. Simba waves at us with a smile when I noticed that his long red hair is pulled back into a high man bun which is really weird to see on a guy but I keep my opinion to myself because I don't want to offend the guy.
"You finally made it" Nala said smiling.
"You were right about getting Elsa to agree" Anna said giggling.
"Told ya" Nala said giggling.
"She got me right after practice and I was ready to drop" I huffed out.
"Don't worry buddy, Nala gets me the same way" Simba said patting me on the shoulder.
"So what are we're going to see?" I inquire.
"Central Intelligence. That good with you guys?" asked Nala
"I'm good with that" I replied
"Me too" Anna said with a nod.
We stood in line to get our tickets which didn't take too long as we moved inside to get snack before finding our seats in the back when the light dim and the previews start playing. Anna sat the tube of popcorn in her lap before bringing some to her mouth as I take a bite out of my Red Vine then the movie started and it wasn't ten minutes into the show when I risked a sideways glance at Nala and Simba to see that they were rather busy making out than watching the movie.
I don't know what to do or what I'm supposed to be. Should I follow their lead? Does Anna expect me to make out with her during the movie? Should I just watch the movie? I don't have a manual for this kind of thing and I don't know who I ask about this sort of thing because I ask Jack because he wouldn't take this seriously. Fuck! What do I do? What do I do?! I nearly jumped out of my skin when something takes a hold of my hand and I looked down to see that it's Anna's hand wrapped around me but her gaze's on the screen in front of her.
Her thumb brushes against my knuckles in a soothing matter, relaxing my nerves slightly as she doesn't expect anything from me as we continue to the movie and I never laughed so much in life but it is a Kevin Hart and Dewayne 'The Rock' Johnson movie. The two actors are hilarious together and should make more movies together when the lights finally came up as we exit out of the theater.
"That was a good movie" Nala said smiling in a daze.
How would you know if it was a good movie if you and your boyfriend were playing tonsil hockey through the whole thing. We walked to the pizza galleria to grab a slice of pizza and the conversation between the four of us flowed easily, talking about anything from school to our personal lives when the busboy walks up to us to take the empty pizza pan. I looked up to see that they busboy is someone that I know and I'm surprised to see the once self proclaimed bad boy Hans actually working and cleaning up after people.
"Hans? Is that you?" I asked surprised.
"Oh hey Elsa" Hans said smiling embarrassed.
"What are you doing here?" I asked confused.
"I worked here now. The Dean caught wind of my situation and decided to help me by letting me apply for a scholarship to cover my tuition as well as room and board but to pay for books and stuff, I had to get a part-time job and here I am" Hans said shrugging his shoulder.
"Are you okay?" I asked concerned.
"Yeah, I'm okay but I better get back to work. See ya around" Hans said walking away.
I can't believe that Hans is working now but I guess that he has to find some way to pay for school in order to stay here but I still can't believe that his Father just cast him aside like he was nothing. We walked out of the pizza galleria and parted from Nala and Simba as Anna and I took a walk through the park but I couldn't help but noticed how beautiful she looks under the lamplights when I stopped in my tracks causing her to look at me with a confused expression on her face. I take the cheerleader's face in my hands as I capture her lips with my own in a chaste kiss as she lets out a small content sigh, relaxing into the kiss before pulling back to see my girlfriend looking at me with dilated eyes.
"W-What was that f-for?" Anna asked breathlessly.
"No reason, I just felt like kissing you" I said shrugging my shoulders.
Anna smiles slightly as she pulls me in for another kiss and I couldn't help but think why right this feels as I never wanted it to end but the need for air becomes too great as we pull away but not too far away.
