Chapter 30: Dance with Fireworks (Edited)
Elsa went into the recording room after having lunch with Brando. He was a bit of a chatterbox, who seemed to annoy Elsa; she had to admit, some of his stories were interesting but she paid no attention.
She scanned the room and saw no one, no one but North who was sleeping beside a table filled with papers.
"North?" said Elsa, trying to wake him. "North..." Elsa didn't receive any reply except for a snore. She sighed. "He'll wake up at the right time."
She stood up and walked out of the recording room and closed the door. It's been a long day and she was feeling a bit sleepy.
She went in the elevator and pressed the fourth floor button. She waited patiently; just when the elevator reached the third floor, the elevator door opened and in came a man and woman who looked like they work here; she can tell by their uniforms.
They both started talking, completely unaware of Elsa.
"So you think she's going to be in his list?" asked the man.
The woman shrugged, "I don't know. He seems to be hitting on her."
The man sighed. "When will Mr Clark stop playing with girls? It's getting annoying!"
Elsa raised an eyebrow. Were they talking about Brando?
"Yeah, how many girls as it been now?" asked the woman.
"I lost track. Maybe 10 or 20."
Elsa's eyes widen. Is Brando really like that? Now that she thought about it, she remembered Brando making a move on her by putting his hand on her thigh but she shoved it away.
"Could be. He's too handsome for girls to resist him so he always has his way," said the woman.
The man growled, "If only I could punch his face and make it ugly will be good."
The woman laughed, "Yeah right! As if you would actually do that."
"I hope the girl would realise who he really his and leave him. She's way too pretty to be played like that," said the man.
The woman nodded in agreement. "Yeah, maybe she's dating that handsome white haired guy."
Elsa furrowed her eyebrows. Yeah right! As if Jack would go out with someone like me.
"Now that you mentioned it, that guy looks really familiar," said the man. "Could he be-"Elsa walked out of the elevator when it reached the fourth floor.
She went in her hotel room. She took off her shoes and jumped on the bed, "Huh finally! Now I can get some sleep."
She closed her eyes but snapped it open when she heard her phone buzzing. She growled and covered her face with the pillow as she ignored the call. But it kept on buzzing; she threw the pillow up and reached for her phone in her jeans pocket.
She answered it with an annoyed voice, she didn't bother looking at the number.
E - Hello
There came no response, she furrowed her eyebrows and tried again.
E - Hello?
J - Huh...hey Elsa.
Elsa's eyes widen when she recognized the voice.
E - Jack? I don't remember giving you my number.
J - *Laughing nervously* Yeah I got it from Punzel.
E - Why would she give you my number?
J - Because I asked her nicely.
E - Okay so...what do you want?
J - I huh...I want you to come to dinner with me.
Elsa eyes widen, she almost fell down from the bed.
E - Huh where?
J - It's a surprise
E - Why?
J - Because there's nothing to do and you'll be bored doing nothing in there.
Elsa nodded seeing that he was right.
E - But there's TV
J - *Sighs* Is that a no?
Elsa could sense a little sadness in his voice. Was something bothering him? She took a breath and answered.
E - Yes, I think I can go.
She heard something banged at the other line.
E - Huh what happened?
J - Nothing! I'll come pick you up at 8:00
E - Huh Jack?
J - What?
E - We're in the same hotel
J - Oh right! I meant I'll come get you at your room. What's your room number?
E - 205
J - Okay, see you
E - See you
J - Oh and huh... I also have to tell you something.
E - What is it?
J - I'll tell you later.
E - Why not now?
J - I'll tell later, okay?
E -Fine.
J - And...
E - And what?
J - Wear something fancy, okay?
Before Elsa could answer, Jack hanged up. She stared at her phone; she grabbed her pillow and screamed in it.
Oh my God! Oh my God! Her mind was going crazy. Did he just ask me out? No it can't be! Elsa this is not a date! Elsa could feel her heart pumping fast. Oh what is wrong with me? Why does he always have this effect on me?
She looked at the time and saw it was 6. Good, she could have some sleep first and later get ready.
Jack
Jack couldn't contain his happiness. As soon as Elsa had said yes, he had fallen off of his chair. This was it, the plan was working.
He heard a knock at his door and said come in. In came North who was wearing a smile but soon it was replaced with a confused look.
"Huh Jack, why are you smiling like that?" he asked.
Jack went over to North. "North, I'm going to need your help."
"With what?" asked North.
"Elsa and I are having dinner," said Jack. "Is there a romantic place around here?"
"Romantic huh?" said North teasingly.
"Shut up!"
North laughed. "Yeah, where do you want that place to be?"
"Could it be on the roof?"
"Sure," said North with a smile.
"I can tell the workers to set it up."
"Yes, thank you!"
"No problem! Should we do it now?" asked North.
"Yeah, let's go." Jack and North walked out of the room.
~Skip Time~
Elsa went in the shower after she woke up.
After taking a shower she came out in a white robe and went over to check her suitcase.
"What to wear?" she said as she kept checking her bag. "Oh shoot, I didn't bring anything fancy to wear!" She ruffled her hair in frustration. "Now what am I going to do?"
She picked up her phone and called the one person who she knew how to deal with these things.
A - Hey Elsa
E - Anna, I need your help!
A - With what?
E - I didn't bring anything fancy to wear.
A - Fancy? Seriously? Why didn't you?
E - I didn't know I was going to-
Elsa stopped herself before she could say it. She didn't want to tell Anna about this, maybe later.
A - Going to what?
E - Just help me out here Anna!
A - Okay sis, you can just call hotel service and they can help you out. They have some people who always deal with girls who wanted to go to parties or...date.
E - Are you sure?
A - Yes Elsa! You're in Brando Hotel, they could help.
E - Okay thank you Anna, Love you!
A - Love you too
Elsa stood up and took the telephone that was on the small table beside her bed. She pressed the green button and someone answered.
? - Hotel services, how can we help you?
E - I need help
Hotel services Room
"Okay I'll send them right over," said a woman name Beth. She pressed numbers and before she could talk she heard someone behind her.
"Who was that?" She turned around and saw Brando.
"Mr Clark?" said Beth with wide eyes. "Huh that was a girl in room 205, she need help because she need something to wear."
Brando raised an eyebrow. That's Elsa's room.
"Is she on a date or is she going on a party?" he asked.
Beth shrugged, "She didn't say."
Brando smirked. This could be it! this is the time when I will make Elsa mine.
"Send the make up artist to her," he said.
Beth nodded.
Elsa
Knock! Knock
Elsa opened the door and stood there was a blonde lady. She smiled at Elsa. "Are you the one who needs help?"
Elsa nodded and let her in.
"Name's Lia."
"Elsa," Elsa shook hands with her
"So when is the date?" asked Lia.
"8 and it's not a date," said Elsa.
Lia raised an eyebrow. "Then why do want to dress fancy?"
"Because he asked me to," said Elsa. "I just need a dress."
Lia nodded. She lifted the suitcase she was holding and put it on the bed. "Here I have some dresses." Elsa smiled.
~Skip Time~
It was already 8:00. Elsa opened the door and walked out.
There she stood in a nice outfit.
Jack said he would come get her but she wanted to get some air first.
Before she could move, the elevator door opened and out came a person she was surprised to see.
Jack
Jack had everything ready. He was in Black jeans and dark blue button-up shirt; the sleeves were folded up to his arms.
"Everything's ready, Jack!" said North.
Jack smiled, "Thanks North!"
"So is it time?"
Jack looked at his wrist watch and nodded, "Its time. I'll go get her." He went out of the room.
Jack didn't want to take the elevator because more people were there; he decided to take the stairs instead.
He came up the last row of stairs and made a stop to take his breath. He opened the door and turned to the corner to Elsa's room; but something he saw made him halted and hid at side of the wall.
"Wow Elsa, you look fantastic!" said Brando.
Elsa smiled, "Thank you. Um what are you doing up here?"
Brando smirked, his dashing smirk that would make any girl faint and said, "I come to take you out on a date."
Jack clenched his jaw, that guy really had the nerve to ask her when he already asked her. He listened carefully for Elsa's answer.
"I would love to."
Jack could feel his heart aching at her response. He bit his tongue before he could shout at both of them. He turned and went into the elevator.
Jack was alone in the elevator. He punched the wall in frustration and anger. How could she do this to him? Was she just playing with him?
Jack stormed out of the elevator and bumped into North.
"Jack what's wrong?" asked North.
Jack did not answer him and dashed out of the hotel. North was in confusion; what happened?
Elsa
Elsa was surprised to see Brando when he came out of the elevator. He smiled and walked towards her.
"Wow Elsa, you look fantastic!" he said.
Elsa smiled. "Thank you. Um what are you doing up here?"
Brando smirked, "I came to take you out on a date."
Elsa's eyes widen a little. What was he playing at?
She gave him a little smile, "I would love to." Brando smirked at her answer, but his smirk disappeared at what she said next. "But I already have dinner plans with Jack, so no; I can not have dinner with you."
Brando blinked; he tried to come up with an idea. "But huh can't you just cancel it; I know you want to go out with me."
Elsa didn't want to roll her eyes. "Brando, even if I'm not going out with Jack I will still say no to you."
Brando furrowed his eyebrows, "What? Why not?" he couldn't believe that a girl is rejecting him; no one rejects him.
"How many are there exactly?" asked Elsa. "How many girls have you played with? Just because you're rich doesn't mean I would go out with you, I'm not a gold digger. Sorry but I don't want to be added to your list."
Brando clenched his jaw in anger. Who had told her all this? "Elsa you're making a big mistake! No one rejects Brando Cark!"
This time Elsa rolled her eyes, "Well someone just did!" She walked away from him and went into the elevator.
Elsa came out and looked around and saw North looking at the exit.
"North!" she called to him. He turned to her and looked weirdly at her.
Elsa walked towards him. "What happened between you and Jack?" he asked.
Elsa furrowed her eyebrows, "Huh, we were going to have dinner."
"Yeah I know that," he said. "But why did he just run out."
"How would I know?"
"He went up to the fourth floor to get you but then he came back down, did something happen?"
Elsa was confused at what he said. "Since when?" she asked.
"Just now," said North.
Elsa then remembered her conversation with Brando, was Jack there?
She groaned and slapped her forehead.
"What?" asked North.
"I was just with Brando and I think he heard us," said Elsa.
"What were you talking about?" asked North with a raised eyebrow.
"Brando was asking me out and I said I'd love to, maybe Jack had just heard that. But I rejected Brando."
North nodded. "Where did he go?" asked Elsa.
"He just went out of the building; I don't know where he's going."
Elsa nodded and walked to the exit where the door was opened for her.
"Where are you going?" asked North.
"To look for him," she said and went out.
North smirked, "Well tis better be interesting."
Elsa came to the parking lot and saw that their car was still there. She looked around outside the building, she also asked the securities if they have seen Jack but they haven't.
She felt like giving up, seeing that Jack isn't anywhere here.
She walked out of the gate and walked at the side of the road. She came to a stop at a fountain. There were lights and the water reflected it. She moved around the fountain and stopped when she saw Jack sitting there, head bowed and hands folded.
Elsa smiled and walked to him, "Jack!"
Jack looked up when he heard her; he was surprised to see her here. "What are you doing here?" he asked.
"I think the question is what are you doing here?" said Elsa folding her arms. "We were supposed to have dinner, right?"
Jack furrowed his eyebrows. "I thought you were going to go with Brando."
Elsa furrowed her eyebrows. "Are you an idiot? I said yes to you, didn't I? Why would I say yes to another? Do you really think I'm like that?"
Jack didn't say anything, he just looked at her. "Besides," she continued. "I would say no to him anyways because he's a jerk."
Jack raised an eyebrow, "What did he do?"
"He's a player," said Elsa. "He wanted to add me on his list thinking I was that easy."
Jack's eyes widen, "That son of a"
"That's why I rejected him," said Elsa interrupting him.
A small smile made its way to Jack's lips. "Wow, I guess I was wrong about you."
Elsa smiled. "Why did you choose to sit here anyway?"
"I wanted to see the fire works."
"There's going to fireworks?"
Jack nodded. "It was going to start when we are dancing but it's way past time. We were going to eat on the roof where we could easily see it but..."
He looked up to Elsa when he felt her warm hands on his cheeks.
"Jack, that's the nicest thing anyone has ever done to me, thank you." Jack smiled and nodded. Elsa stood up and looked down at him. "By the way, what is it that you wanted to tell me?"
Jack looked at the ground for a moment, he then stood up. "I wanted us to dance with the fireworks."
Elsa furrowed her eyebrows, was that it? Or was he changing the subject?
"We could go back before it's too late," she said.
Jack sighed. "It's going to happen in five minutes."
Elsa scratched her head, "So how are we going to dance now when there is no music?"
Jack looked at Elsa for a while. He moved to her and gave his hand to her.
She looked at him weirdly.
(A/N: Just in case you don't know: This 🎸 means Jack is singing, this 🎶 means Elsa is singing and this 🎵 means they both sings.)
Jack sings...
🎸Take my hand
Elsa obeyed and took his hand.
🎸I'll take the lead and every turn.
He spined Elsa around while holding her hand...
🎸You'll be save with me, don't be afraid, Afraid to fall, you know I'll catch you through it all.
Jack held on Elsa waist and moved with her. Elsa furrowed her eyebrows. She knew this song; that was when...Her eyes widen in realization, this was the song that guy at the ball sang to her.
🎸And you can keep
She sang with him...
🎶Even a fountain (🎸us apart) 🎶can't keep us apart (🎸cause my heart) 🎶cause my heart 🎵is wherever you are
Jack lifted her up and spined around. Just then, fireworks burst up at the sky but they both paid no attention.
🎵If I catch you lighting the chances of finding someone like you, and one in a million the chance us a feeling, a way with you. Everyday every step together we just keep on getting better so can I have this dance (🎸Can I have this dance) Can I have this dance 🎶Can I have this 🎵dance 🎶Can I have this dance
Elsa looked at Jack's eyes, she remembered everything. Jack was the guy she danced with at the ball; her mystery guy.
Jack leaned down and hugged her, Elsa hugged him back, feeling save in his arms.
She felt his hand touched her neck; Jack took a step back and looked at Elsa. Elsa looked down; she touched her neck and felt a chain. She looked at the necklace and saw that it was hers, the one she'd lost.
She looked at Jack, "It was you? You were the one I danced with?"
Jack nodded slightly. "Sorry I didn't tell you, I just wanted to know you first because I...I liked you."
Elsa's eyes widen as her breath hitched.
"When I got to know you, my feelings were getting stronger, but I've always ignored it," Jack avoided her eyes. "But that night at the play when you were leaning towards me," Elsa blushed a little remembering that scene. "That's was when I realized that I was sort of falling for you."
Jack looked at her, "Elsa...I'm in love with you."
This time, Elsa felt that her heart stopped. She couldn't believe it. She could feel butterflies in her stomach and her cheeks were starting to get warm.
She recovered and shuttered, "Huh um I..."
"You don't need to say anything Elsa," said Jack. "I just need to tell you because I couldn't keep it in anymore. But Elsa, do you mind if I court you?"
Elsa bit her lip. Should she say yes or no?
She slowly nodded her head making Jack smile.
"Thank you. Well we still have that dinner date to get to."
