Fighting Against Time (JELSA)

Chapter Eight.

Elsa's P-o-v

We arrived in a restaurant. I can't help but to be a bit excited,  I have never been in a resto like this because my meetings are always held in a fancy ones.

"What do you think?" He asked while we enter. The floor is wooden and it looked like the theme of a Vikings. There is a chaos yet welcoming in the way it is set up. I can't help but to stare.

I smiled. "It is wonderful."

"Good. I thought you wouldn't like it." He said. "I mean,  I thought you will enjoy time in a fancy one."

I frowned. "I actually went there every time I am in a tedious meeting and I can promise you one thing, I am not enjoying."

He laughed and nod his head.

A waiter came and ask for our orders. Jack made the orders and we waited. After a few minutes, they served the food and we began devouring it. It taste delicious. The flavors savours in my mouth while chewing.

"So,  what do you want to talk about?" I asked while we are eating.

He swallowed first. "I actually used that excuse to spend time with you."

I gasped. "Oh."

"Sorry." He said,  sheepishly. "Does it bothers you? "

"It is alright Jack." I smiled. "You're my friend,  after all."

He looked at me surprisingly. "You consider me as your friend?"

"Yes. Why?"

He smiled widely. "Nothing. I am just happy to be considered as your friend."

I giggled. "Okay...  Regardless with the state and circumstances, I am happy to spend my afternoon with you." I looked away,  I can feel my cheeks heating  up.

"Me too." He said.

I cleared my throat. "So,  tell me about your girl. is she pretty?"

He frowned. "Yeah. She is alright but just a typical school girl."

"Oh." I sighed. Why do I feel sad when I am the one who brought up the topic?  Stupid things that I do.

"Why?"

"Nothing . I apologize for being inquisitive." I responded.

He shook his head. "No. It is okay..."

I smiled. "Why didn't you brought her up with us today?"

"She is not interested." He answered. "As I said,  typical school girl."

I frowned. "It would be lovely to meet her."

"I will introduce her to you sometime if I dragged her going to the museum.." He laughed. "Which would be a hell lot of effort to do."

I chuckled lightly. "Okay then. Well, I do want to meet girls in a university and how their life have been with all those normal person will do."

"Well,  I can bring people with me next time." I chuckled. "Why are you so interested with that, by the way?"

I shrugged. "I don't know...  Living in a life like mine is a bit tiresome. Meetings and stuff. I mean, I don't know the life that people have outside the museum walls. I don't have any idea.. " I trailed off.

"You don't have any idea what a normal life is like?" He said,  continuing my sentence for me.

I nodded. "I am curious because my life is not normal and I want to experience being a normal person even a day."

"Same as always"  He muttered but not loud enough for me to hear.

"What was that?" I asked.

He shook his head. "Nothing."

I pursed my lips. "Sorry...  I just felt comfortable talking to you. I don't really know what I am saying."

He smiled. "No,  it's okay... "

After that conversation,  we finished our food and headed back to my home. The drive was quiet as if he is thinking of something,  he pulled in front of the grand stairs.

"So,  see you next time?" I said.

He nodded. "Yeah.  See you." He reached for my hand and kissed my knuckles. I can't help but to blush,  I just responded with a smile and went out while closing the door behind me. I waved good bye and went upstairs with the files in my hand.

Jack's P-O-V

"Jack!" A voice called in the hallway. I am in school and walking going to my next class.
I turned around and saw her. My girlfriend,  Rapunzel. She is wearing this dress up to the middle part of her thigh and high heels. Her hair is in a braid and her face is caked with make up.

"What?" I asked,  annoyed.

She rolled her eyes. "Where were you yesterday?  I tried calling you but you're not answering my calls."

"None of your business." I answered while beginning to walk away from her. I really regret defining her as typical school girl,  because she is not typical,  she became a slutty when we became seniors though she is a bit simple when we were a few years younger in College.

She frowned. "Don't you want to spend your time with me?"

"Punzie...  You know we are going to graduate and we need to focus on studying." I said. "I am going to be late for class. See you later."

She groaned. "Fine." Then she stomped away while I am walking going to class.

💙💙💙
I am in the cafeteria when my friend,  Hiccup sat beside me.

"Jack,  what's up?" He said while biting his sandwich.

"Nothing." I answered. "I am just thinking about someone."

"Thinking about who?"

I sighed. "The curator."

"Ooh. The pretty curator in Arendelle Museum?" He asked.

I nodded. "Yeah. I took her out a few days ago."

"Are you going to replace your girlfriend?" He enquired. "Well, she is better than Rap. I mean, who would know that she will be a curator in her age."

I rolled my eyes. "That is not it... I am actually looking for her a long time ago. Good thing that I found her now."

"You know that I didn't understand any of that,  right?" He said.

"I know." I chuckled. "She asked me to bring a few people in her place for company. Would you like to come?"

He nodded. "Sure! I could bring my girl. Besides,  we need some help for the finals."

I chuckled. "Seriously?"

"Come on. You wouldn't understand the hardship that we are going through. Heck!  You know the subject more than the professors. It is like you have lived in that time already." He frowned.

I just laughed but didn't answer.

"So,  when are we going?" He asked.

"Maybe the day after tomorrow. I am not sure. I am just going to call her first." I answered.

He nodded. "Okay."
