That was quick. I really wanted to get this chapter out. After so much Drama we had reached a turning point in this story. there is a little surprise at the end of this chapter that I am sure you are going to like.
Elsa sat at her window once again watching the city lights go by. It soothed her, made her feel more comfortable, especially since she was feeling very lonely, despite the kitten that was curled on her lap.
It had been a month. 3 long weeks after getting Olaf, Elsa was still wondering when Joseph was coming home. They still talked every night, but that was no substitute for holding each other in their arms. Eve worse, there wasn't much for them to talk about. Joseph just kept saying how much better Kelly was doing and that he and Merida were doing just fine. Elsa never asked if she tried anything, but judging by Merida attempting to flirt with him, she suspected that Merida at least would try something.
Elsa knew that Joseph was one of the most honorable men that she had ever had the pleasure of knowing. He hadn't hurt her and she would never believe otherwise for a second. The problem was that Merida was his ex (and clearly his first), so any passion that they might have had could be ever so slightly tempting. Combined with being alone with her for a month, well that was why Elsa was worried.
Elsa was never one to define herself by the men in her life (not that she had many in the first place, due to her introverted nature), but she missed him dearly. All she wanted was for him to be here with her, where he belonged.
Elsa had done little work on preparing for her wedding. She of course had done some with Anna, but not a whole lot. There was still roughly five months left as it was anyway.
And what if Joseph didn't return. She knew that she didn't believe it; she had told Kai and Gerda that Joseph would never so callously betray her like that. but still there was the possibility that he wouldn't because of his duty to his family. So if that was the case (very unlikely) all her hard work will have been for nothing.
She knew that she was being ridiculous, but she was scared. She didn't want to lose him, especially not to someone who was trying to manipulate him by using a child of all things to try and keep him with her. There were worse things (at least he didn't leave her after she was pregnant like she was a one night stand), but that didn't stop Elsa from being angry with the situation that she was currently in.
She sighed, wishing that Joseph was here with her. He would have been holding her close, kissing her neck, in all the ways that he did whenever she was lying on the chair.
Her hand rubbed her neck. Too long had it been since he was here. She missed his touch, his warm presence. There were times where he would pick her up in his arms and kiss her senseless, before taking her to the bedroom, or the couch just so they could cuddle in each others arms.
They were supposed to be looking forward to their marriage, but being apart made Elsa wonder what she was supposed to look forward to. She wanted him here, just like he had always been.
Elsa walked in the room, Joseph (crutches and all) walked in behind her. It had been a few days after the incident with the mugger and finally Joseph was being released from the hospital, and Elsa after visiting him everyday, elected to be the one to take him home. Elsa had to admit Joseph's apartment was very nice, large enough for two or three people maybe. Well he was the CEO of a company, so there was that to consider.
Joseph noticed the look of awe on her face "yes Elsa, I live here.' He said, a slight teasing tone in his voice. Elsa looked at him, giving him a mock glare "oh excuse me Mr. Summers. I could not help but admire the fantastic conditions of your home." She said, giving herself a false British accent. Joseph laughed, before making his way to the couch, where he clumsily sat down on the couch, letting his crutches falling to the floor.
Elsa smiled. He looked very comfortable to be home. Of course after the attack, he must really have been happy. She made her way next to him, sitting down beside him. "How are you feeling?" she asked. She asked him that every time she saw him. The answer was always the same "I'm just glad that you're still alive." He never said, "I'm glad I'm still alive" he was always thinking of her, never of himself in the moment. Elsa felt touched by his concern for her.
She smiled and too his hand "Joseph… your impossible…" she said giggling slightly Joseph smiled "just like your beautiful Elsa." He said, without any hesitation whatsoever. Elsa's cheeks went pink from his words. Beautiful? It wasn't the first time she had ever been called such a thing, but never had anyone done it so casually to her before (except Anna, but they were sisters who said the same thing to each other all the time.)
"You really think I'm beautiful?" she asked, her voice small. God she sounded like a teenager again, being told that she was gorgeous for the first time in her life. Her eyes trailed down to his lips.
Joseph chuckled, leaning closer to Elsa "no. I know that you are beautiful." He said, before capturing her lips with his own. Elsa's eyes widened, feeling something she hadn't felt in a long time. Slightly hesitant, she moved her lips slowly in tangent with his. Her hands made their way to his torso, gently pushing him down on the couch His hands made their way to her shirt, gently lifting it off of Elsa, leaving her in nothing but a bra, Elsa hands made their way to his shirt, ripping it off. He parted from her lips, making his way down her neck, while his hands moved down her curves.
"Oh…" Elsa moaned before his hands came to rest on her backside. She gently rubbed against him, getting hotter by the second. Joseph moved back to her lips, silencing her moans. Elsa couldn't help feel like every fiber of her being was on fire, Josephs kisses setting her off.
Unfortunately, she pressed against his knee, causing him to groan in pain. Elsa quickly parted from the kiss, concern in her eyes. "Are you ok?" she asked. Joseph moaned lightly, gently pushing Elsa off of him. Elsa sat back against the couch pouting slight. "Sorry" she said. She could still feel desire pumping through her, but was glad that she hadn't gotten too far. She would prefer to at least spend a little more time with someone before she went that far. She blamed it on the fact that he was charming and attractive. That and she had spent several days with him.
Joseph sighed, "its ok… besides… I think we were rushing right there." He said, going red. Elsa felt her face flush and she grabbed her shirt hastily putting it back on. he did have a point. They had only known each other for a few days. too bad he was a bit more charming than she had initially thought (considering he was a playboy about 4 years ago. but none of that matter now that she knew the real person behind the tabloids.) he was quite funny and had a way with words.
That had been their first kiss. Elsa would have been lying if she said it hadn't been the best first kiss that she had ever received before. of course she had gone to receive many more of them over the past six months.
Elsa sighed, gently petting Olaf's soft fur. The cat was still sleeping even after he spent the drive home napping. Well he was still a kitten. So what else was his excuse?
She glanced down at her hand, which still had her wedding ring on it. She hadn't taken it off (except for when she showered), not that she wanted to. She had gotten a few looks from people and a few of them had even asked where her fiancée was. She responded by saying he was on a business trip and he had proposed to her before hand, and that they would get married. it was a logical and partially truthful statement.
The problem was that she would rather just not have to answer that question in the first place. But until Joseph returned from the Dunbroch estate, they were stuck being separated from each other.
She hated it, but it was the situation that was her life at the moment.
She looked out of the window, watching the sunset in the distance. She loved these moments; the quiet moments. They soothed her, especially in this time of need.
But this time, it just wasn't working. If anything it was making her even more agitated. She wanted Joseph back here. There were times that she missed with him and she wanted to have him back… because she loved him. they had been speaking those words over the phone, but it meant almost nothing compared to seeing the expression on his face when he said it himself.
Her heart clenched. What if she was saying to him? What if… had Joseph… slept with her? no, she refused to believe that. He had many opportunities while they were dating (mostly during socialite parties that he attended), but he as politely as possible said no to them. Elsa had watched him the many times there had been women shamelessly throwing them at him. Even she knew the reason. It was partly because he was charming, but also because he was a playboy during his younger years.
Elsa and Joseph sat at a table at one of the many company's parties that Aaron wolf (Josephs president friend) had to throw for benefits. It touched Elsa's heart that Joseph gladly had these benefits (mostly for children or impoverished areas) he was very kind and selfless. Granted Elsa did the same thing at her job, but it was mostly for the community. Joseph's Company had been international since his predecessor had been in charge of the company (so he couldn't take all of the credit.)
Elsa took a sip of her drink, which was just chocolate milk. Like Joseph, she hated alcohol, and preferred sweeter drinks (hence the chocolate milk.) most people would think that she odd because she wouldn't drink something a little more appropriate, but she didn't mind so why should they?
Besides the night was almost over as it was, as Elsa would rather just not be too intoxicated on the way home. She would like to sleep after her head hit the pillow, not while driving on the way home.
"so… had fun this evening Elsa?" Joseph asked Elsa gave him a grin "oh Joseph.. you know these aren't my types of things. We have different ideas of fun."
Yeah Elsa hated parties. So did Joseph, but he was forced to in the interest of his job. They normally did leave early though, just to escape the pressures of the party. Which was right about now.
They abruptly stood up and rushed to the entrance of the building that they were in., however before they could even get close, a hand reached out from the crowd and snagged Josephs arm. He stopped dead in his tracks, turning to see a familiar dyed blond, rather large busted woman whose name he had rather forgotten. Though he did vaguely remember having repeated kisses with her at some point during a drunken haze.
"Joseph… darling!" she purred her hands snaking up his shirt before resting on his chest "remember me?" she said, batting her eyelashes at him seductively.
Elsa tensed. These were the moments she hated the most when it came to these annoying parties. Josephs playboy days were over, but they would repeatedly come back to bite him. Sometimes quite literally as one drunken woman nearly bit his shoulder in an attempt to 'get a taste of the playboy' that time Joseph had been a little rough, 'accidently' breaking the woman shoulder when he pushed her away.
Watching this woman made Elsa want to do the same. No woman no matter how much they had mattered to Joseph in the past (which considering that he was drunk during the time, probably meant that he didn't care whatsoever.) had the right to touch him. She growled lowly, but the woman ignored her. Elsa couldn't start a fight here, lest they be thrown out
Joseph grabbed the woman's hand and pushed it away "considering I was drunk when I first met you no. Now if you don't mind I'm taking my girl home. He pulled Elsa away from the scene and they went home.
Elsa had to admit, Joseph could be rather cold to woman at times, but what else was he supposed to do when they threw themselves at him while he was dating her. he hated it just as much as she did.
Which was rather odd, because according to Rapunzel, Joseph never once dated a woman prior to the incident with Merida. So apparently Merida was the reason he got a little more confident (or perhaps a little more reckless). While Elsa didn't exactly like Merida at the moment she supposed she could be thankful for that. Had Joseph never dated Merida, would Elsa have ever met Joseph? Or would she have ignored him and gone on their own separate ways in life?
She sighed. These were the mysteries of life that she would never understand. It wasn't like it mattered either. She leaned back against the wall, groaning in annoyance.
"Joseph…" she groaned.
Olaf, who was still in her lap, looked up at Elsa, before walking up her chest and reaching her cheek, giving it a gentle lick. Elsa giggled grabbing Olaf, before nuzzling his nose. "Thank you Olaf." She said, before putting him down on the floor. Olaf stretched lightly, before scampering off to the bedroom, his favorite place to nap. Elsa sighed she wished that she could be as carefree as the cat that Anna gotten her. but life was never that simple.
She sighed remembering the morning after her first time with Joseph
Elsa woke up in her hotel room, wrapped in the arms of her, now lover (it was still a little too early to say boyfriend, even though they did have sex like any couple would have. She was stark naked and feeling slightly tender. She moved her legs slightly, only to find herself a little sore down there. She groaned. Why did it have to hurt?
Well at least it felt good.
She felt Joseph shift slightly beside her and his eyes fluttered open. He looked down at her, before kissing the top of her head. "Morning snowflake." He mumbled. Elsa giggled. Morning to you to love." She whispered, reaching up and kissing his lips. Joseph returned the kiss wrapping his arms around her tightly. Elsa climbed on top of him placing her hands on his face deepening the kiss.
She was rather enjoying the moment. Here she was naked with a man in bed, after having a passionate session with him. Yeah she was enjoying this.
She broke the kiss, giving Joseph a grin "did you enjoy last night?" she asked. Joseph gave Elsa a grin "shouldn't I be asking you that? Then again, you were screaming rather loudly last night."
Elsa blushed heavily, remembering last night. She had screamed rather loudly, but she had been enjoying herself. She smacked his chest "really, what about you?" she shot back.
Joseph laughed. Ok." He said, before kissing her again Elsa moaned. Oh thank god for delivering her a man like this. She pressed against him, moaning passionately. She could stay here a little while longer. Her flight home wasn't until the afternoon anyway.
Elsa laughed, that had been one crazy night and the morning hadn't been much different. Not long after that they had officially gotten together (much to Anna's delight) and Elsa had enjoyed every moment of it. as a matter of fact, she missed her flight back, mainly because she took her bags and flew back to Arendelle with Joseph instead. She had never expected such a thing to happen, but it was welcome.
The flight back hadn't been as steamy as the night of the wedding; (they mostly just talked about there status as a couple among other things on the way back. Over some drinks and chocolate) Elsa was quite willing to date him ever since the night of the mugger. Joseph it seemed had been willing to date her since the moment they met.
Honestly when Elsa had first met him, she did remember that he was a fairly popular playboy in the past, and was not in the mood to even try and get to know him, believing that he would just use her, just like Hans had done to Anna. She was standoffish to him that night, but every time he spoke he was sincere and he was friends with Rapunzel as well, so there was that. It was the night of the mugger that had turned her around. Hans might have left Anna to die just to save his own skin.
She wrapped her arms around her silently crying, no longer caring. None of it mattered any more. Joseph was gone. He was with Merida, his ex girlfriend and his daughter Kelly. Je made no mention of the court date that he was supposed to go to for the custody hearing, so it obviously hadn't happened yet.
A moment later her doorbell rang, startling Elsa from her saddened stupor. Getting off of the seat, she made her way to the door and looked into the peephole. A moment later the door swung open and in walked Joseph, who closed the door behind him. Elsa jumped onto him and was swept into the arms of the man she loved, kissing him passionately, before he carried her into the bedroom, shutting the door behind them.
Like the surprise? The next chapter will reveal what happened and why Joseph has returned to Elsa.
