Ok I am going to give credit where credit is due and say that this chapter was inspired by a review of ComplexStatus. So if your reading this I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Elsa felt Joseph shift slightly. Clearly he was waking up. Slyly, Elsa leaned towards him, placing a gentle kiss on his lips. His lips captured her own and she could feel his tongue licking her lips, asking for entrance. She obliged.
Josephs hands moved down her curves, causing Elsa to shiver with excitement. Breaking the kiss she moaned slightly, before proceeding to kiss him again. Her hands played with his hair, raking through the thick locks of hair. Oh god what did she ever do to deserve this man?
Elsa broke the kiss once again this time gazing directly into Josephs eyes. She could she the love in his eyes. Not lust not desire; just pure love. Joseph leaned up to kiss Elsa once again.
Elsa however, pecked his lips, then snuggled into his neck. "good morning love." She whispered. Joseph gave her head a kiss, while running a hand down her back. "good morning snowflake." He replied.
The two just basked in the morning sun, not wanting to move or even breath. They just lied there.
Elsa sighed "Oh Joseph I can't believe this." she said, sounding very happy. "Just last night we- oh my god we're engaged!"
It was very rare that Elsa ended up becoming speechless. Usually she was very regal and precise, never missing a beat when it came to conversing with others. If she wasn't already an ice skater, she would have made a very good business women. Even so he could understand why. Just a few months ago she was watching her sister get married. Now, in just a few months she herself was going to be a married woman
Of course once they told Anna, no doubt she was going to make sure to plan the best possible wedding for Elsa ever. Elsa could already hear Anna's squeals of excitement.
Not to mention Rapunzel. As she was Elsa's cousin, no doubt she would want to be involved. Elsa just wanted to make sure that the wedding wasn't a complete extravaganza's like Anna's had been. The less of a hassle it was the better.
Joseph knew that as a CEO, his image was bound to be on the news if this leaked out. For Elsa's sake he would really just like to have a very quiet wedding filed with only friends and family. If the media so much as tried to walk through the doors, he would not hesitate to punch anyone with the offending camera. Still that would be very satisfying, if not a good idea.
Joseph kissed Elsa's head again, "well Elsa, I'm only to happy to agree with you; after all I am to one who proposed." He told her. Elsa laughed, before stretching her body, rolling off of Joseph's. "well then I guess we better get started." As Elsa was about to toss off the covers in an attempt to grab her robe and cover herself, Joseph simply grabbed her, eliciting a scream, before he covered her lips with his own.
"you know snowflake." He said "it is Saturday…" he mumbled before kissing her again "we don't have to do anything until Monday. We could just lay here all weekend."
Elsa gave him a grin "as fun as that would be… I have to tell Anna you know."
Joseph smiled releasing Elsa. She threw off the covers and grabbed her robe donning it. Turning she saw Joseph already putting on some pants and a shirt. Elsa watched him a moment, before asking "Perhaps it would be a good idea to cook pancakes this morning."
Joseph grinned "I thought the first thing you were going to do was call Anna."
Elsa scoffed "have you met my sister? if I tell her now she will be snoring halfway through the sentence; I would never get the chance to tell her until after noon."
"well you could always tell her that your baking some pancakes. She always did like your cooking."
Elsa gave him a look that said "are you serious?" before saying "if I tell her that she will be on a plane, begging me to make more for her; you know how much she likes my cooking!"
Joseph simply shrugged. "everyone likes your cooking Elsa. Its not my fault that Anna happens to be your biggest fan." He said.
Elsa gave him a glare "Anna likes my food more than you?" she said her voice playful. "that you don't like my food all that much?"
Joseph shrugged "what can I say? I just-" Elsa pounced on him knocking him to the floor, but she underestimated her Fiancé's strength and soon found herself on the floor.
Elsa stared up at him. Oh no, she knew exactly what was coming. This would not be good.
Carefully, she tried to escape, but she was pinned. Joseph had his knees at her hips and was giving her an evil smile. His fingers found her collarbone and he began tickling her viciously. Elsa squealed, desperately trying to escape the assault, but her laughter made it difficult for her to try and concentrate.
"Joseph… you… snort…. Ah… I'm... going… …to kill… you!" try as she might, Elsa could not sound menacing at all while she was reduced to this type of torture. Oh the humanity.
Joseph simply laughed, not stopping in his relentless tickle barrage. He just continued to watch as Elsa laughed.
Elsa however was not done yet and managed to get her arms free, her own hands finding Josephs shoulder blades. She pinched them, eliciting a sharp cry from him and he pulled back, giving Elsa a chance to grab him by the shirt collar and pull him down. Their lips met once again and Elsa found herself lost in the kiss this time.
They just lied there on the floor lost in their own world. At least until they heard their stomachs rumble. Joseph pulled back from the kiss. "It seems that the needs of our stomach outweigh the needs of everything else Elsa." Joseph said as he pushed himself off of her. Elsa followed suit, fixing her robe, before going to her vanity and brushing her hair.
Joseph however just stood their watching her brush her hair. He had a large grin on his face.
Deciding to tease him a little, Elsa, turned to him and said "you know if you continue to stare at me like that, we might not get to breakfast. Her eyes twinkled with mischief.
Joseph put a look of faux horror on his face "oh no! whatever shall I do. I will surely starve to death."
Elsa laughed "don't worry love. We will be eating very soon; just give me a few minutes." She told him
Joseph groaned "seriously" he said in faux annoyance "you spend way to much time at that mirror Elsa."
"Only to look my best for you love" Elsa retorted
Joseph smiled "you don't have to work hard for that, you know." He replied. Elsa blushed
"your such a charmer." She chided, before turning back to the mirror and continued to brush her hair. As she did so, she remembered the first time she had ever done this. it was after the wedding, after Anna and Kristoff came back from their week long honey moon. Joseph had called wanting to take her out on a real date.
Elsa stood by her wardrobe, watching as Anna sifted through it, going through the large amount of cloths that Elsa never wore. Oh god was it possible for Elsa to have this many cloths?
Anna continued to throw nearly everything that Elsa owned out of the wardrobe, either on the floor (no) or on the bed (yes). She wanted to make sure that Elsa looked her very best for her new boyfriend.
Elsa on the other hand was a little conflicted. Sure she knew that she should look nice, but after Anna's wedding night, well she just wasn't sure how to dress for this date right now.
"Anna, I don't see the big deal, I don't need to get that dressed up." Elsa told her sister. "its just two friends going out."
Anna looked at her sister with an odd look. "Elsa you and Joseph have known each other for months, and I saw you at the wedding. You lovebirds could barely keep your eyes off one another."
Elsa blushed knowing that there was indeed truth behind Anna's words. But she couldn't help it. After everything that she and Joseph had been through, they had become close and developed a bond.
Anna grinned seeing the look on Elsa's face. "yep. Your in love Elsa." She then proceeded to walk to the bed grab one of the dresses that was lying on it and tossed it to Elsa. Elsa caught it, looking at Anna
"well… Elsa go on and put on the dress!" Anna told her. Elsa stared at the dress, before flinging it to the floor. It was a bright red, not one of Elsa's preferred colors. It did not match her at all.
"no Anna, there is no way I am wearing that on my first date with him." she told Anna firmly.
Anna groaned "but I thought that was the best one." She whined.
Elsa shook her head "Anna, have you even seen me wear red before?" she asked.
Anna looked at her a moment, before sighing "no I guess not." She said, before turning back to the pile. She sifted through again this time coming up with one that was a dark purple. Sure it was made up of blue and red, but it was better than just red. "how about this one?" she asked Elsa.
Elsa stared at the dress. Indeed it was very beautiful, and definitely more her style for a first date. Taking the dress, she walked into her bathroom. Carefully, she stripped herself of her cloths and slipped into the dress.
Elsa had to admit that Anna had good taste. Taking a long look at herself, she couldn't help but admire how well the dress just seemed to fit her. It was breathtaking. Now she was just left to wonder if Joseph would like it. After all she was trying to impress him.
Still that didn't stop her from being scared about this date. It was the first she had ever been on in a long time. She had refrained from doing so ever since her last date. That had been several years ago.
With a slight smile on her face, Elsa exited the bathroom, catching her sister's eye. Anna gave her sister a grin "wow Elsa that is just… wow."
Elsa waved her hand "oh please Anna, its not all that." She said
Anna scoffed "Elsa did you even look at yourself? Your gorgeous!" Anna told her happily.
Elsa didn't know how to respond to that. Indeed she was beautiful. With a smile she just said "thank you Anna. For helping me out with this."
Anna smiled "its what sisters do Elsa, what did you expect? For me not to help you out with your love when you needed it? after all you helped me out."
That was true considering that if Anna hadn't left, she would never have gotten together with Kristoff and she would never have ended up married to him.
Then of course all the planning for the wedding. Anna would never have been able to do that alone. It would have been a disaster.
Elsa laughed before walking to her vanity and began applying some make up. she decided on some blush and some eyeliner. Anna just stood there trying not to laugh. Elsa just ignored it knowing the reason that she was laughing. Elsa had never gotten this dressed up for a date, so seeing her like this much really be something.
After finishing Elsa, turned to Anna a look of apprehension on her face. "how do I look?" she asked.
Anna stared at her a moment "Elsa you look beautiful." She said sincerely.
Elsa smiled. Truly she was quite the vision of beauty. She then walked out of the room content to wait.
"Thinking about our first date again?" Joseph asked her, startling her out of her daze. Elsa turned to him eyes widened and her mouth dropped open. How in the world did he guess that? She couldn't even believe that he had been that spot on with it.
"how in… did you just read my mind?" Elsa asked shocked. Joseph simply shrugged. "no." he replied "every time I ask that, you always get this look on your face, kind of like your dreaming."
Elsa giggled before turning back to her reflection. A few moments later, she put her brush down and turned to Joseph. "like it?" she asked.
"do you ever have to ask that?" Joseph said innocently before going over and kissing her.
Elsa wrapped her hands around his neck kissing him passionately. His hands wrapped around her back and he pulled her close.
After a few moments, they broke apart, Joseph having a grin on his face. Elsa knew that grin all to well.
Elsa simply snuggled against him "Come on Joseph, we had better eat some breakfast before we starve to death."
Joseph nodded and together they proceeded to walk into the kitchen. Before Elsa could walk into the kitchen and grab the supplies needed to cook the coveted pancakes they oh so desperately desired, Joseph stopped blocked her path.
"oh no Elsa not this time." He said giving her a dangerous smirk "this time I will be doing the cooking. For once you can enjoy my cooking skills."
Elsa gaped at him, knowing that would definitely not be a good idea whatsoever. Joseph rarely ever cooked. Sure he was not bad at it, but most of his meals amounted to basic and even then most of them were border lining on the edge of being edible. If she tried to let him cook the pancakes…
"Joseph" she chided "do you remember the last time you tried cooking something?" she asked.
Joseph flushed "it was not that bad." He defended himself lamely. It wasn't going to work. Last time he tried to cook something, Anna wouldn't eat it. you know you messed up when Anna wouldn't eat something.
He and Elsa had decided to go out on a picnic. They had packed the essentials, including sandwiches and chocolate desserts. The sad part was, Joseph had tried baking the cake himself and it didn't turn out very well. Elsa had taken one bite and had to resort to drinking milk to get rid of the awful taste. Elsa had then tried to give it to Anna several days later (she had arrived in town for the wedding) and Anna had spat the cake out almost immediately.
Elsa had decided then that she was going to be the one cooking this time. Without batting an eye she pushed Joseph aside and began searching through the cabinets for the correct ingredients. She grabbed the eggs, milk and flour, then grabbed the pots and pans.
Elsa followed the instructions, pouring each ingredient into the bowl then mixed it all together.
Joseph just stood watching her. It never ceased to amaze him the Elsa could manage to make every little action look as graceful as she was managing to do it right now.
Elsa then proceeded to remove the mixing spoon from the mix and pour the mix into the pan on the stove.
After a few minutes Elsa had managed to make the pancakes, and the two lovers just sat at the table eating in silence.
Elsa ate slowly, content with her own cooking. It had been one of the many skills that she picked up over the years while taking care of Anna. If it wasn't for Gerda teaching her how to cook, well, then no one would have been able to cook the food.
After some time, the two managed to finish the meal, content with what they had eaten. They had to agree, if Joseph had decided to cook no doubt would it have just prolonged the hunger that had plagued them before they had eaten the food in the first place.
Elsa and Joseph then grabbed the plates and brought them to the sink. Together they washed the dishes then moved to the couch. Sure they wanted to call Anna and tell her the news, but a grumpy Anna was the last thing they wanted to deal with this morning; it was the equivalent of trying to pet a wild tiger.
Still it was relatively early in the morning, so they were content with relaxing until then. They settled for just watching some TV to pass the time. They settled on a movie that they liked watching and just sat there watching it
Joseph held Elsa close not wanting to let go of her. Elsa was snuggled into him, holding him close to her.
"Oh Joseph…" Elsa said "I'm just… I can't believe it…." she breathed.
"knowing you I am pretty sure you have about the entire wedding planned out already." Joseph responded.
Elsa smacked his arm playfully "we just got engaged last night, how much planning do you think I've done?" she asked him
In truth, she already had a few ideas down, but she wanted to consult with her friends before making some of the more drastic decisions. First she wanted to explore all the options, then make the decisions necessary to actually make the wedding happen.
Joseph simply gave Elsa a smirk "your one of the most thoughtful people I know, you always know what to do."
Elsa blushed. Joseph always knew what to say to make her feel good. It didn't matter what the situation was, he could just manage to do it. Even the simplest of things, he could just make better.
Elsa kissed his cheek. "thanks Joseph" she said before snuggling close to him and the two settled for watching the television.
