What Do You Know About True Love? (Completed!)

Chapter 8

Anna walked up to Kristoffs run down car and opened the front seat passenger door. "Hey." She said sweetly. Kristoff scanned her, and blushed a little bit. He couldn't deny she looked beautiful in that sun dress. "Hey." He replies in a grumbly voice.
"Ah! I'm so excited!" Anna chirped as they descended on the road. Kristoff looked at her a bit through the rear view mirror and smiled, then nervously looked away. "Uh- well- a little forewarning though... My family can be a little crazy, and inappropriate... and loud. Very very loud. And-"
"They sound great Kristoff. Trust me! I'm excited."
He smiled again and gave a quiet sigh of relief. She could tell he was a little worried.
He parked on the side of the house, and the two of them got out of the car.
"Kristoff! Anna! You're here!" A motherly voice said from the front door. Anna jogged over to Bulda's open arms and gave her a big hug. Bulda then turned over and gave Kristoff a big hug as well, which made him turn a little red.
"It's a little- hectic in there, so you'll definitely be entertained. Come on in dear!" She placed her palm on Anna's back and gently led her inside as Kristoff led the way.
One thing was for sure, and that was He definitely had a big family. As she entered, many of them turned their heads to look at her, knowing she was an unfamiliar face. "Everyone, this is Anna." Bulda practically announced. Anna gave a little wave as her cheeks reddened a little bit.
She felt a gentle pull at the bottom of her dress. "Remember me Anna Banana?" She giggled and gently patted his head. "Of course I do Tiny!"
Kristoff picked up little Tiny. "Personal Space much?"
Anna laughed and shook her head. "Oh leave him alone, he's just playing around. Aren't you Tiny?"
Kristoff put Tiny down and one his relatives punched his arm playfully. "Finally you brought home a promising girl!"
He turned a bright shade of red. "No no, She's not-"
"-Oh she's so pretty too!" Someone else said. The two were practically surrounded by curious family members.
"We're just frien-"And she's wearing a ring?!" A relative practically shrieked. Anna's eyes widened and she quickly hid her left hand behind her back. The whole family bursted into a frenzy at the news, many scolding Kristoff for not telling them sooner, and asking Anna all the questions in the book. She looked over at him, and he looked as if he was going to explode from anger, or embarrassment. Maybe both.

"She is engaged to someone else, okay?!" Kristoff practically roared, rendering everyone, including Anna speechless.

Bulda broke the silence with nervous laughter. "Hey hey, dinners almost ready, why don't y'all get seated?"
Practically everyone except for Anna and Kristoff rushed to their seats for dinner. Kristoff couldn't even look her in the eye.
"Anna, I am so so sorry."
She placed a gentle hand on his shoulder and smiled. "It's okay, really. Let's go sit down."
They sat next to each other on the big table.
The air smelled amazing, no doubt Bulda was a great cook.

"You sure you don't want to make a run for it?" Kristoff whispered to her. Anna kicked his foot. "Ow!"
"That's what you get."
Kristoff laughed softly. "I love it here. Despite all of the embarrassing engagement confusion." She whispered to him playfully.

Bulda served a bunch of different dishes, all looking and smelling amazing. Anna filled her plate and quickly began stuffing her face. "This is sooo good Bulda! Thank you!"
"Aw, no problem dear, have as much as you like."
One of Kristoffs older relatives nudged Anna's arm. "So, Anna.Why are you holding back from such a man?"
She raised an eyebrow and chewed quickly before answering. "Uh- what?"
Kristoff's eyes widened. This could not get more embarrassing for him.
"Is it because of the clumpy way he walks?"

Nope, it definitely could.

Anna burst into a laughter, glanced at Kristoff's annoyed face, and tried to stop. She couldn't.
"Is it because he's-" Their volume changed to a whisper. "-Socially impaired."
"Hey, that's not true!" Kristoff whined while trying to cover his red face.
A relative seated next to him pinched his cheeks. "He just acts grumpy to cover up that he's so sensitive and sweet!"
"Awe." Anna said with a half smile. Kristoff rubbed his sore cheeks and returned the smile.
