Chapter 14
<<<ELSA'S POV>>>
I'm shattered, that weekend was so stressful. I remember Mama said she was sending me a phone number for a big company! I sure hope it is worth my while! I have had business calls from Canada now as well! So exciting! I'm now known abroad a lot more, not just America.
"Hey, Mama. It's me, I'm free today. Do you have that number?" - Elsa
"Of course I have, dear. Are you at your house?" - Mama
"I am, yes. Would you like me to turn the kettle on?" - Elsa
"Please, dear. Thank you, I'll be there in about thirty minutes?" - Mama
"Okay, Mama. See you soon!" - Elsa
I have a brisk shower and quickly dried my hair. Well thankfully, I am free all day today! I can finally clean the house. I'm just going to wear some black leggings, long sleeved blouse with the sleeves rolled up and white vans. I'm not going anywhere special, plus I am wearing wearing two things that are designer brands. The blouse and my gold watch. I walked downstairs and flicked the kettle on, Mama hasn't arrived yet so I quickly vacuumed all the downstairs and the upstairs. Mama can be very picky, but that's the only thing she is ever really picky about. I fluffed the pillows on the couch and quickly made Mama her herbal tea. Mama likes to be surprised about her tea and she has to like it, of course. Ding dong. There goes the doorbell! I got the door and it's Mama. I gave her a hug and let her in, I led her into the living room and we both take our seat.
"Elsa, sweetheart. How are you?" Mama smiled.
"I'm going okay! Thanks, Mama. How have you been?" I asked.
"I'm doing quite alright, thank you. I'm going on a business trip in two days with Papa," Mama informed.
"Oh? Where is the business trip?" I asked.
"It's in New York with the Deeley family." Mama replied.
"So, I saw something on Celeb TV yesterday..." Mama said on the verge of squealing.
My eyes widened in shock. Mama saw that?! Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh! I thought that Mama didn't watch that show! Oh no.
"I-I didn't know that you watched Celeb TV..." I stammered.
"Not usually, but I got bored." Mama shrugged, "So, who is going to be my son-in-law?"
I choked on my drink. Mama just looked at me innocently. I face-palmed, she sure can be crazy sometimes!
I sat up straight and said, "Mama, I haven't even went on a date with him yet, I haven't even accepted the offer yet."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. You haven't accepted the offer yet?!" Mama exclaimed.
I shook my head, Mama sighed and opened her arms. I hugged her back and she was rocking me. Mama always knows when there is something wrong.
"C'mon, darling. Why haven't you accepted the offer?" Mama asked.
"I...I don't want to get hurt. I don't want Tadashi to do what Papa did..." I whimpered in tears.
"Oh, Elsa..." Mama said soothingly as she rocked me in her arms.
Mama always tried to stop Papa, but he was a complete control freak. I know that he may regret it now, but he is too late. He should have changed years ago.
"I almost forgot!" Mama laughed.
She grabbed a piece of paper from her black Gucci bag. It's a number on a piece of paper, must be the number she was talking about!
"Did you say Tadashi? As in Tadashi Hamada?" Mama asked.
I nodded. He seems like a really nice guy, but I remember one of the girls who was at my High School was just getting used and beaten by her abused boyfriend...I don't want that.
"Elsa, listen to me. Tadashi Hamada is a very sweet boy. Lucy, his mother brought him up the right way, not a user or a woman abuser. Trust me!" Mama smiled.
I took a deep breath, grabbed my phone and dialled Tadashi's number. Ringing, ringing,
ringing...
"Hello, Tadashi Hamada here." - Tadashi
"Hi, Tadashi. It's Elsa, Elsa Winters." - Elsa
"*Something drops*" - Tadashi
"Tadashi, are you okay?!" - Elsa
"Y-Yeah!" - Tadashi
"So about your offer...is it still up for grabs?" - Elsa
"R-Really?" - Tadashi
"Yeah, so is it still up?" - Elsa
"Of course, it is! Shall we say tomorrow?" - Tadashi
"Tuesday? Sure!" - Elsa
"Dress fancy, I'm taking you to Viva La Pari!" - Tadashi
"Viva La Pari?!" - Mama
"Are you okay, Elsa?" - Tadashi
"Yes. I'll see you tomorrow, what time?" - Elsa
"Seven?" - Tadashi
"I'll see you at seven tomorrow!" - Elsa
"See you soon, Elsa!" - Tadashi
"Bye!" - Elsa
The phone went down and Mama was running around the living room squealing like a little kid. I was laughing at the scene. Ding dong. Who could this be? I got to the door and it's Anna!
"Anna, what are you doing here?" I asked.
"I'm giving you the contract for the modelling for a month, of course! There is nothing to worry about with Papa, because he will be in New York. Mama is going for a week." Anna smiled.
"Elsa, you are modelling for the company?!" Mama gasped.
Anna jumped. She obviously didn't know that Mama was here. She ran to Mama and gave her a hug, Mama hugged back. I take it Anna wanted to give Mama a hug before she left.
"I'm going for about a week in New York. Your father will be there for three weeks." Mama says.
"Do you have to go?" I asked sadly.
"You'll be fine, Elsa." Mama smiled.
I don't want Mama to go...I know that she goes for them all the time, but I just don't want her to leave. I'll miss her, even though she is coming back. Me and Mama always meet up...I guess this is why she wanted to meet up now.
"A couple days after I come back, I have to head off to Alaska for a couple days. There has been some problems there." Mama said.
So Mama is going be gone a week and a bit? At least, I can meet Mama back at her house. I haven't been back to that house in six years...I remember the music room - I went there a lot to sing.
"Girls, could one of you look after the house? If you do Anna, no cooking!" Mama laughed.
I let Mama and Anna talk. I walked into the kitchen and called the number Mama handed me.
"Hello, this is Periwinkle." - Periwinkle
"Hello there, this is Elsa Winters. You handed your number to my Mama?" - Elsa
"Oh, oh! You must be the caterer!" - Periwinkle
"*Laughs* Yes, this is she. How can I help you?" - Elsa
"My boss is going to be celebrating the companies fifth anniversary. He needs a caterer for the event. It is in three weeks on Friday!" - Periwinkle
"Three weeks on Friday? I can do that." - Elsa
"Thank you so much, it is with Frost Industries." - Periwinkle
"Oh my gosh, thank you for this opportunity. I will get everyone in my business on this!" - Elsa
I put the phone down and started squealing. A job with Frost Industries! My caterer business will be well known over the world! I can't wait, I would like to see some different countries. Speaking of which! I'm planning a holiday to Ibiza. Me, Merida, Anna, Rapunzel and Daisy.
"Elsa, Mama just left." Anna said from behind me.
I turned around and Anna had a small smile on her face. I just nodded in response to that, I'm trying to avoid her for a reason. Anna made everything much more fun, but now she is going...
"Elsa, why aren't you talking to me like you normally do?" Anna asked sorrowfully.
I remembered what Rapunzel said...but I just can't tell her. Anna will only feel bad and I don't want to lose what I have with my little sister.
"I'm busy is why." I muttered.
She is still behind me, I can feel her presence. I turned around, I noticed that she was wearing a necklace with real diamonds and rubies!
"Anna, where did you get a necklace like that?!" I gasped in shock.
Her eyes widened in shock and fear. I raised my brow, why the shocked and scared facial expression? Is she hiding something from me? Speaking of that, I need to talk to Pitch about his detective.
"So where did you get the necklace, Anna?" I asked.
"F-From Diamond, of course." Anna stammered.
"You are acting weird and you have been acting weird." I said suspiciously.
"C-Can you just sign the contract?" Anna stammered.
I stared at her for one minute, normally she would crack, but she didn't crack at all. So, I signed the contract and handed it to her. I will find out why you are acting weird Anna, I will. Anna left with the contract without looking back.
Elsa Winters - Pitch is your detective back yet?'
Pitch Black - Actually, I was just about to message you, yes
Elsa Winters - Excellent! She is acting weirder and weirder by the minute!
Pitch Black - When would you like him to start?
Elsa Winters - Tomorrow please. When are you leaving for your business trip?
Pitch Black - I'm leaving at nine tomorrow night
Elsa Winters - Aww, I'm going to miss you :(
Pitch Black - I will miss you too, Elsie :( Hey, for a last hurrah shall we watch a movie tomorrow?
Elsa Winters - Sure, but it will have to be about one. I have to go to the mall for some stuff tomorrow morning
Pitch Black - What are you buying?
Elsa Winters - I'm going to buy a new fancy dress, shoes, jewellery and stuff
Pitch Black - Wow, that's a lot of stuff for you to get! What's the occasion?
Elsa Winters - My first date!
Pitch Black - First date?
Elsa Winters - Yeah! I hope it all goes well...this is my first date after all!
*Pitch Black is now offline*
Huh? Why did he just suddenly come off? That's really weird. Well, he is a very protective best friend. He has been my best friend for years! The door knocks. Now, who is it?! I went to the door and looked through the peephole, it's Michelle! You have got to be kidding me, right? She knocked again and I crept upstairs. Heck no. I'm still not talking to her, just no. I walked upstairs and looked at Anna's old bedroom. Empty...I sighed, this will be my home office again. It's going to be weird not having Anna here. Hey, I might buy a grand piano and put it in here. There is a free corner, so why not? My phone went off, I wonder who that could be. It's Merida!
Merida Scott - Hey, Els
Elsa Winters - Hey, Mer! How's the cake business going?
Merida Scott - It's going good, but Mum is trying to get me to date again...
Elsa Winters - You have got to be kidding me, right!
Merida Scott - No...speaking of dating! I saw your interview on Celeb TV! Are you seeing Tadashi as a potential partner in the future then?
Elsa Winters - He well could be. I will find out after the date tomorrow
Merida Scott - YOU TOOK HIS OFFER?! :D
Elsa Winters - Jesus, someone is happy XD
Merida Scott - Where are you going on the date?!'
Elsa Winters - Viva La Pari, nothing big or anything
Merida Scott - WHAT?! Nothing big?! Elsa, Viva La Pari is THE most fanciest and expensive restaurant in America!
Elsa Winters - Mer, I was sarcastic! XD'
Merida Scott - Oh...I knew that!
Elsa Winters - Uh huh! Suuure. I'm going to the mall either later or tomorrow for the stuff for the date
Merida Scott - Why don't you do it out the way tonight?
Elsa Winters - Hmm, that is a fair point! Only I need to start cleaning out Anna's old room, order new books, start setting up the office and putting up the shelves
Merida Scott - That room is going to be your home office again?
Elsa Winters - Yeah. I mean it's not like I will have guests staying over, will I?
Merida Scott - You never know, Anna might have to come back again XD
Elsa Winters - XD Anyway, I have paid for some cooking classes for her, so she won't burn down her place again!
Merida Scott - She really needs them! She is the only person I know who can burn hard boiled eggs, toast and microwave noodles! XD
Elsa Winters - I know, she is really bad at cooking!
Merida Scott - How do you put up with it, Els? You are a caterer and your sister can barely cook! XD
Elsa Winters - I feel sorry for her, if she has kids one day. She will have to cook for them!
Merida Scott - I know, right XD. I just got off my shift. I really want to play basketball today, but I don't know
Elsa Winters - I'll join you! Well, after I have set up the shelves and desk! LOL
Merida Scott - Oh, cool! I didn't have anyone to play with today and now I do!
Elsa Winters - Just the loneliness XD
Merida Scott - Wow, thanks Els -_- :D
Elsa Winters - You're welcome! I'm going to start fitting these shelves, talk to you later!
Merida Scott - Talk to you later!
I put my phone on charge and went back into the empty room. I sighed heavily, the memories over the last seven months with my little sister.
"I had better get started, I guess..." I sighed.
I started fitting the shelves. I will need to re-decorate my office, but that will take at least a week. I've actually been thinking about moving to a four bedroom house. I could use two of the bedrooms into bedrooms and the other two can be made into different rooms. I think I'm going to move...then Papa won't bother me! Well, Mama and Anna will know where I live though. I got on my phone and looked into estate agents. The best site has to be The More, The Merrier. Yeah, I will! I will look more into this. If I do move, it will have to wait at least a good three to four months though. Finally, the shelves are up! I really needed to get this done and I have. Now, time for basketball with Merida! I would have really liked to go swimming though, but oh well. Better than nothing! I got changed into my yoga pants and sports bra.
Elsa Winters - Hey, Mer. Finally, after thirty five minutes that's a wrap! I'm heading to the basketball court now
Merida Scott - Are you bringing your car? I haven't and I may need a ride. Hehe...
Elsa Winters - Haha, okay. I will bring my car. Only for you though, Meri ;)
Merida Scott - Aww, why thank you! I feel loved :'D <3
I couldn't help but to laugh. Oh, Merida! You are quite the nutcase sometimes, aren't you? Well, you are a good friend of mine and I can seem a bit insane sometimes. Just some regular basketball fun will be perfect! I'm spending my time with a good friend. After having hassle searching for my inhaler, I jumped into the car. Inhalers are complete pain up the butts, just fabulous! Note the sarcasm.
"Where is that stupid inhaler?!" I groaned.
This always happens! I checked the back seat, bingo! Inhalers are useful, but they get lost way too easily. I wouldn't survive a zombie apocalypse, that's for sure!
"Off I go to play some basketball with Merida!" I cheered.
Merida is practicing already. Well, weirdly and luckily no traffic! It's going to be great, just some very competitive one v one basketball game against us sports freaks! Back in High School, people only knew how me and Merida were friends by being sports freaks.
"Hey, Mer!" I called as I jumped out the car.
"Hey, heads up!" Merida exclaimed.
The ball was coming my way, I jumped high and caught the ball. Time to show off my awesome dribbling skills with this basketball. I don't know why, but Merida has always said she is jealous of how well I dribble the ball with complete perfection. Simply, just takes time and practice!
"Let's get this game on!" I yelled with glee and determination.
I won! I won! I won! Merida's face is as red as her hair! It's actually pretty funny, but she really will kill me now. Just don't tell her I said that, but I'm a really fast runner I'd be able to get away! Hopefully, at least...
"Well, Els. This was fun! Unfortunately, I have to head back for a nice chat with my Mum." She said rolling her eyes in annoyance.
I patted her shoulder. Thank Goodness that my Mum isn't like that! Well, Merida's Mum is rarely every of his back. So much damn stress!
"I'll give you a ride, are we heading to yours or your Mum's house?" I asked.
"My Mum's house." Merida groaned.
I nodded and started the route up for Merida's Mum's house. Hopefully, her Mum doesn't go as extremely as she always does. Her Mum tries to get her to date one of the worst guys on Merida's list. Merida is Scottish you see and her Mum wants Merida to be with a Scotsman.
"We are here." I smiled.
"Thanks, Els." Merida said gratefully.
She walked away and into her Mum's house. I just hope it turns out to be nothing, because Merida doesn't need her Mum on her back twenty four seven. She is a grown woman and needs to make her own decisions, if only Merida's Mum could just open her eyes and see that too.
