Once I return to my PC, Anna is gone, I sigh in relief for not founding any texts on my phone. This time no one saw us.
The rest of the day go well, I call Phil saying I hadn't received any e-mails from the unknown, only some working stuff. He says to inform him in case something happens.
As soon as I open my door Olaf greets me, barking happily. It's a good thing that I have someone waiting for me at home now, I don't feel so lonely like before. Olaf and I play a bit in the living room, I teach him some nice tricks, like how to stay sit down. He's such a obedient and smart dog. Someone told Siberian Huskies are intelligent. And they're loyal. I'm trying to teach him how to guard home, but for now baby-step.
Olaf is sleeping on his favorite blanket: it was a gift from my mother when I was little. I kept it because I like it very much. There are snowflakes in a nice icy blue background and in an angle my name is sewn in a yellow thread. One time she said that winter was too colorless and maybe a bit of yellow was nice, since her favorite color was yellow. Lucky me, Olaf is somehow aware of the meaning of that blanket for me and he treat it well. Animals are so smart and I think sometimes they are better than people.
I'm drinking a bit of water in the kitchen when I hear a ringtone from the living room. I reach my phone: no calls no messages. Then I look at my PC: someone's calling me on Skype. I should change the ringtones, I have the same one of Skype on my phone (I like that sound). I look at the caller. What should I do? Accept or refuse?
"Hello? Why are you calling me?"
"Hi Elsa, well.. you said I couldn't stay with you and from what I understood today we aren't supposed to be in the same room or something like that." She's on video-call as me. I see a little smile on her face, but suddenly it disappears. No, why aren't you smiling? You're so beautiful when you smile. "I hope this is a safe way to talk with you.. Can you explain me what's going on?"
I don't know if it's safe or not, but it's so good see her again. Who am I fooling? I can't stay away from her, it's like drug. I'm an Anna-addict.
"I don't know if it's safe, but I think it's right to tell you everything." I explain her what's happening in these days. She's listening, I can see a bit of worry in her eyes, but I'm not sure if she's worried about herself or about me. "I'm saying this to you only because I don't want something bad happens to you.. So please, be careful, you can't be seen with me, and I can't be seen with you."
"But Elsa, we don't know who this person is, maybe it's not even from the office. And you're always at the meeting."
"My officer friend is trying to find out who she/he is, but we have to be sly and careful. I'll be as usual at the meeting, it's my job after all. I hope they'll find out his/her identity soon." After a good minute of silence Anna opens her mouth.
"Okay then. If you're not receiving any messages after this call, we can talk to each other in this way. Using Skype." I sighed.
"Anna, I asked you to stay away from me until you decided what you wanted to do."
"I know, but I'm at my house, you are at yours, so.. I'm away from you." I can't help to smile a little. She sees it and smiles back. "I want you to know I'm thinking about everything, Hans, us. I don't want you to think this is just a phase. I care a lot about you." I don't know if she cares for real or not, but I know I do. She's my everything and I want her safe, and if this 'unknown-messages' problem doesn't come to an end I'm afraid she'll end up with Hans. I can't let that happen. I see Olaf looking at me, he's awake. Oh, thank God you're here buddy. He's by my side playing with my hand, that is resting on the couch.
"Elsa? What are you looking at? Something happens?"
"Ah, yeah.. well my buddy is here."
"Oh.. I'll leave you with him, or her, I guess." I smirk.
"It's just my dog. Olaf, come here boy, say 'hi' to Anna." He comes in front of my laptop screen he makes just one bark, the one that say "hi there!".
"Hi to you, Olaf. How are you? Elsa's treating you well?" I send her a glance, the only thing she did? Giggle. "Ehy Olaf, I need to tell you one thing, but don't let Elsa know about it!" He comes closer to the screen like he was saying "yeah tell me tell me!" She smiles and she whispers but I'm able to hear her words without problems. "Do me a favor? Take care of Elsa. I can't protect her, so it's your job now. Can you do it for me?" the puppy barks in approval. I blush and stay silent looking in her eyes.
Author's Note: Hi everyone! I'm sorry for the delay of the chapter but I hope you'll enjoy it! I was a bit busy and my imagination didn't want to be cooperative for the development of this story. I started a new story "Our Hearts Will Tell" and my inspiration came back (at least for now lol).
Thanks for your patience and for your support. Let me know what your opinions are and if there are some mistakes.
Have a nice day/evening
