The notification retracted back, but Elsa's eyes stared at the pixels it used to occupy. Every emotion she could think of hit her at once, her stomach screwing into a ball, palms getting sweaty and mouth becoming dry. She gulped and slowly moved her mouse from the 'yes' button over to 'no' and clicked, sparing her profile to live another day.
Elsa opened her email app and waited for her inbox to load, she clicked on the latest message, and it popped up in a new window.
'Hi I'm Anna,
Just seen your profile! Would love to meet and get coffee sometime? I'm free all weekend!
Oh and just a heads up, I think you've left your profile logged in and your friends have altered your bio?
Tell them I'd like to judge for myself ;)
Hope to see you soon!
-Anna'
Ok, she just wants to meet and have coffee, I can manage that! I just need to reply…but it's too soon, she'll think I'm desperate. I'll wait an hour. No I'll wait until the morning! Then it looks like I actually have a life!
At least she seems nice, even guessing right about the two fucks at work.
Elsa spent the rest of the evening gaming, only taking a break to order pizza. Eventually she went to bed, stomach still knotted because tomorrow could be a very different Saturday.
The blonde got up surprisingly early considering she hadn't slept very well, her mind was too active. Planning out all the different scenarios that could take place. She was now sat in front of her laptop, typing up her response to Anna. She had been at it for 45 minutes so far. Typing then deleting, then retyping. Nothing sounded right, it was either too formal, or too friendly - like she'd known the girl for ten years.
She read her latest draft aloud.
"Hi, I'm Elsa. I would love to go get some coffee, I'm free after lunch. I know a good coffee shop in the mall. Let me know if you're available."
This will have to do.
Her mouse hovered over the send icon. She closed her eyes, index finger putting pressure on the button. She sucked in a deep breath of air and clicked. Her eyes remained closed as she heard the sent chime play.
She kept her eyes closed and slumped into the chair, starting to day dream, her mind wandered back a few weeks.
Why the fuck am I doing this.
Elsa was in Kristoff's truck along with Olaf. They were going out for the evening, Kristoff's idea, he wanted them to go out for a meal. He thought it would be nice for them to see each other outside of the office.
Olaf agreed straight away, while Elsa took a bit more persuading. Eventually though she caved, and reluctantly agreed to tag along.
"We're here!" Kristoff shouted while undoing his seatbelt.
The three of them got out of the car and walked into the restaurant. They were greeted at the door and escorted an empty table.
The décor was old and warmly, a large log fire roared on the opposite wall. The waiter took the drinks order and glided over to the bar area.
"It's pretty nice in here" Olaf said.
"Yeah!" The larger man said. "It gets really good reviews online."
Elsa was looking around at the antique furniture that lined the walls, her eyes suddenly stopped when they fell upon an auburn colour a few tables forward and to the left. Holy fuck.
The colour was amazing in the low, warm light. It belonged to a young girl, Elsa guessed a year or two younger than herself, but she could only see the back of her head. The red head lifted her arm and tucked some of the hair behind her ear, revealing the right half of her freckled face. Holy fuck.
"Elsa!" Olaf tapped his hands on the table in front of the blonde.
Elsa startled, blinking her eyes a few times "What?"
Olaf pointed to the waiter who was standing on the right side of their table. "I said are you ready to order Elsa?"
"No sorry." She squeaked.
Olaf turned back to the waiter and smiled, "Just give us a few more minutes."
Elsa brought the menu up, covering her blushing face. She decided on what she was having and placed the menu back down when the heat had left her cheeks.
Eventually they ordered their meal and after a short while of Kristoff talking and talking, the food arrived.
During the meal Elsa's eyes would flicker over to the red head, checking in on how she was doing. Half way through her food she saw the girl stand up, and bend right over her chair to pick up her bag. Oh my god. Elsa swallowed causing a piece of food so scrape against her throat, she coughed and grabbed her water taking a soothing sip.
Placing the glass down her eyes looked over to the girl's empty seat, then quickly scanned the room. Her stomach clenched and heart jumped when she noticed the red head walking straight towards them. Oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck. Act normal. Act normal. Her eyes traced down the red heads body. Fuck me those hips! Elsa was subconsciously biting her lip, watching the red head make her way over. The blonde held her breath as the red head girl walked passed and entered the bathrooms down the hall behind them.
Elsa let out a loud sigh. And glanced up to Kristoff who had a massive shit eating grin on his face. What's up with him…Oh wait? No! She's mine! You keep the fuck away from her. I saw her first! The blonde's mind screamed at him as they locked eyes. Kristoff smile only grew larger, if that was at all possible.
The blonde girl heard her laptop chime, she looked around the restaurant confused. Her phone vibrated against her desk, brining Elsa back to reality. She looked around her study and rubbed her eyes.
God, was I that obvious.
She sat up in her chair, and grabbed the mouse waking the laptop up from its sleep. Anna had replied saying she's free, and to meet her by the water fountain in the mall after lunch. She'd given Elsa her number instructing her to text when she arrived.
Elsa jumped up from her seat and dashed into her bedroom. Flinging clothes left and right. She had absolutely no idea what to wear. She went through various outfits, not happy with any of them. We're just getting coffee. She pulled out a pair of denim shorts, a white top, and a blue blazer with the sleeves rolled up. She put her platinum locks into their usual braid. She glanced at the clock and set off for the mall.
Elsa sat on the bench that surrounded the large fountain, clutching her phone in her left hand. She'd just sent Anna a text, letting her know she'd arrived. She was enjoying the sound of water trickling behind her ear. Watching people walk from shop to shop. She wasn't too nervous until she saw a certain red head walk through the doors of the mall.
The girl was wearing a summer dress with blue, red and yellow flowers on it. The dress stopped just above her knees. The red hair was done into two separate braids that hung over both shoulders. She held her phone in her right hand.
Elsa squinted her eyes. Is that the girl from the restaurant? What is she doing here? Why is she looking at me like that? Oh shit she's coming over. Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit. Why is she smiling at me? Does she remember me? Oh god look at those legs! This is something Kristoff would plan, where the fuck is he?
Elsa glanced around, but couldn't spot the blonde man. Her eyes were soon back on the red head who was bouncing over with excitement. She stood over Elsa, the blonde looking up, subconsciously biting her lip and locking eyes with the girl.
"Are you Elsa?" The girl asked.
She asked a simple question answer her dammit.
"eeermm y-y-es." Elsa stuttered, fucking nice one.
The red head squealed with excitement. "Hi I'm Anna"
Anna? Why does that sound so familiar, like it was something I was supposed to do?
The blonde's eyes widened. Oh, fuck no.
"Should we go get that coffee?" Anna asked pointing over her shoulder.
Elsa nodded, that was about all she could do. She stood and took a step forward, suddenly realising that her legs didn't want to cooperate anymore. She started to stumble forward and instinctively grabbed the nearest thing, which happened to be Anna's arm.
Anna pulled her back to her feet and sensing the blonde's nervousness she sat them both back down on the bench.
"If you wanted to hold hands all you had to do was ask." Anna joked.
Elsa blushed and quickly let go of Anna's arm. Turning her head to face away from Anna, squeaking out a "sorry."
Fucking hell, it had to be her. This is going to be the most embarrassing day of my life.
"I must say they are pretty mind blowing."
What? Elsa turned round to meet the read heads gaze, she then followed her eyes down to her own chest. Oh. Elsa folded her arms across herself. Say something. Play it off, it's no big deal. She's smirking so it's just a joke.
"Thanks." Elsa squeaked. Fucking thanks? Kill me now.
Anna laughed, then cleared her throat "Well, I suppose I should tell you about myself. I'm Anna, I've lived in this town all my life, I love chocolate. I normally hate going on dates because I do this thing where I ramble on, then I get nervous because I think I'm boring the other person. But the nervousness makes me ramble even more, so it's like a downward spiral-..See I'm doing it now!"
Elsa laughed lightly bringing her hand up to cover her mouth. She was now feeling a little better and trusted herself to be able to walk to the coffee shop.
"Should we go get that c-coffee?" Elsa shyly asked.
"Sure!"
They both sat at a small table in a quiet corner of the room. On her left was the window looking out to the mall, and the water fountain. Both girls had a coffee cup and there was a tray of doughnuts in the middle of the table. Elsa was warming her hand on her coffee. She didn't know why, her hands were already clammy, but she couldn't find a better place for them.
Ok so, conversation starters let's see…
Anna was one step ahead. "So, you look really nice. I love your hair, and the colour! How do you get it to stay in place?"
"Thanks." Fuck me, is that all I'm going to say today? Think! "Erm, I don't know, I-It just falls into this s-style now I've been doing it s-so long." Why the fuck am I stuttering, I've never stuttered in my life.
"Well it's really nice, I wish I could do that with my hair. Your eyes are beautiful too!"
Don't say it, do not say it. "Thanks." Fuck sake.
"Well, we should probably try some of these doughnuts!" The younger girl said, carefully choosing one, closing her eyes and taking a bite. She let out a moan as the flavour hit her tongue, she slowly chewed and swallowed. She opened her eyes to look at the blondes blushing face. "You have to try this."
Elsa was just about to lift her hand to grab one when she noticed Anna leaning across the table with her own doughnut. Stretching her hand towards Elsa.
Wait she wants me to…Shit, shit, shit. Open your mouth or its going to go all over your face.
Elsa opened her mouth as the red head pushed the doughnut inside. Elsa clamped down, ripping off a bite. Her lips gently brushing against Anna's fingers. Holy Fuck. Elsa blushed bright red, the tips of her ears burring as she slowly chewed the delicious snack.
Why is she looking at me like that? Wait she knows exactly what she's doing! You little…
"You blush quite a lot." Anna said taking another bite. "I like it." She said in a husky voice.
Yep, she knows exactly what she's doing. You just fucking wait!
"I'm just going to n-nip to the b-bathroom." Elsa said. She got up and quickly made her way towards the door.
She stood, both hands on the edge of the sink. Looking into the mirror at her reddened face. Holy fuck, alright, five minutes to calm down. Then I'll play her at her own game. Elsa smirked, turned the water on and gently splashed her face.
After a few minutes Elsa returned to her seat, and took a sip of her coffee.
Anna was stirring her coffee with the wooden stick. Carefully spinning the liquid both ways, she looked up locking eyes with Elsa, smirk growing on her face. She opened her mouth slowly sticking her tongue out, her hand raised the stick, dripping with coffee and cream. She ran it down her tongue licking off the contents.
Elsa watched, biting her lip. Nope you win, I give up. Fucking hell that was hot.
Elsa jolted in her seat. She felt something on her leg, it was soft and gliding across her calf. The direction changed and it smoothly retracted in the other direction, before losing contact.
Elsa jolted again, hands balling into fists, as the foreign object made its presence again on her leg. This time moving a lot slower but using more pressure. Elsa looked to Anna, she was looking down into her coffee, eyes half hooded, biting her lip.
Elsa let out a shaky breath she'd been holding, this caused Anna to close her eyes and Elsa could see her bite harder onto her lip.
Elsa focused on the contact, she could feel the softness of Anna's leg she could feel the heat of her sun kissed skin. The movements sent waves up her calf and into her thighs, the blonde could feel herself growing warmer.
Bad idea, terrible idea, don't focus on it. Hey look a puppy! ... Oh my god you're going to have to stop Anna before something happens that I don't want to happen in the middle of a coffee shop!
After a few more swipes Anna retracted her leg, both girls letting out shaky sighs. Anna looked at her phone. "Oh is that the time, sorry, I best get going."
Thank fuck.
Elsa checked the time on her own phone "its ok, I-It's about time I g-got going too."
"This was really fun" Anna said as they both exited the coffee shop and headed towards the main doors of the mall.
Yeah, and that was with our clothes on!
"Elsa!" Anna shouted, smacking the blonde's arm.
Oh fuck, I'm going to have to work on these slips.
"You're going to have to woo me a bit more to get me out of this." The red head said gesturing to her dress.
Elsa blushed and smiled looking down to the ground.
Anna planted a goodbye kiss on the blondes cheek and whispered "Only a little more." Into her ear. She turned on her heal and headed towards her car. Elsa stood being unable to move, watching the red head bounce away, her hand coming up to touch her tingling ear.
A/N: Okay, so, less of Kristoff's shenanigans this time (don't worry he'll be back). Hopefully the Elsanna fluff made up for it.
The idea for this was for Anna to gain more and more confidence as the date progressed. Spurred on by the effect she had on Elsa.
Let me know what you think!
