Shortly before Full House wrapped in 1995, Stephanie and I decided to "play ABBA" on stage! Stephanie was always musical, and I think she got that from us.
She tried starting up a band, but that turned out to be a disaster. She and her girlfriends, along with her best friend, Marla, started up the band "Girl Talk". Steph knew how to play guitar because I taught her, and she played it at school, so sometimes I'd assist her in practice.
Oftentimes, the girls would be rehearsing in the Tanner's basement, which had long since been changed into a studio with the guest room now being the attic.
Stephanie's friends were so excited to meet Jesse and I. They were fans of mine and the Go Go Girls, and Marla even attended one of my solo concerts in 1987 - long before she met Steph. I was flattered, but I wanted them to be successful too, as did Jesse.
They started out rehearsing the Ace Of Base song "I Saw The Sign", and I was sort of like their conductor. Jesse instructed Stephanie to sing in unison with me, to sing loudly when I sang loudly, and sing softly when I sang softly. I also made hand gestures.
"Just remember Steph, you sing the same way as your Aunt Olia, as she directs." Said Jesse.
It was then break time, so we went upstairs into the living area. Like 2 teenagers we sat on the couch, sharing a tender kiss while the girls were upstairs in Stephanie's room. Before we lost track of time, we went up there, and they were experimenting with different looks for when they'd release an album. We tried telling the girls that the content is worth more than the look, but they didn't listen to us. Stephanie protested by saying that I had a great look while also having great songs, and that she wanted to be like me, and had wanted that for a long time. While I was flattered, I did encourage her to be herself, have her own style.
But the night came when they performed, and so much went wrong. They were clumsy so they accidentally knocked over one of the mic stands, they sang out of time afterwards, I mean it was just cringe-worthy! Poor Steph was so embarrassed, though she'd tell us it wasn't as much as she would've been if she didn't have her friends around her, who were also embarrassed.
All Steph could do was run away into her dressing room backstage. We did that the conversation one would expect, but in the end we agreed that it'd be best not to manage her, but to simply be who we were from the first day - her uncle and aunt. We hugged our beautiful niece and took her home.
She still had the desire to perform, but she told me that one of her dreams was to perform with me. I was only too happy to sing with her, and ABBA impersonators became sort of a "thing", so we decided to bring a whole new meaning to "playing ABBA". And during the early to mid 90s, I was sporting Frida's hair - when I had red hair in 1993, I was trying to emulate Frida's hair in 1977, then when I switched to dark hair in early 1994, I was trying to replicate Frida's hair from the second part of 1976. It seemed to work because I was told I had this "resemblance" to her, from TV interviews, to just being in the supermarket chatting to the friendly checkout chicks I knew well. For someone to tell me that I resemble Anni-Frid Lyngstad from ABBA - to me, that's the best, most sweetest compliment anyone could give me!
Stephanie was growing into a beautiful young lady, and she certainly had the hair for playing Agnetha.
Jesse would play the drums for us during the show. He sure loved his drums! And he was really good at it too!
The show would take place close to Christmas, with the proceeds from the concert equally split between me and Stephanie.
This reminded me of the night 8 years earlier when I performed Dancing Queen with DJ, and now I was doing it with Stephanie! It was a sold-out show too, so it was going to be a "Full House"!
Steph and I were helping one another get ready, tidying each other's hair and adjusting our kimono costumes.
"I'm a little nervous." Said Steph. "But excited as well."
"You're gonna be fabulous, glykia mou." I told her. We shared a hug before going out of stage, with our family and friends all in the front row. My godparents were in attendance as well as the Tanners as was Vasilios and his family. He and his wife minded our girls while Jess & I were on stage. I could see Frida and Sonia from the state, jumping up and down, dancing to the music.
Stephanie had a brief brake while Jesse joined me on stage with his guitar to sing a duet version of the song "Why Did It Have To Be Me" just like Bjorn and Frida in ABBA the Movie!
It was so much fun and full of energy, and as always when we performed live, we kissed to show the world how much we love one another.
Backstage after our Dancing Queen finale, Stephanie and I hugged one another tight. She felt accomplished knowing that she could do it, and I was so proud of her!
Back home, needless to say, Jesse couldn't wait to make love. Frankly, neither could I. ABBA's music always gets me in the mood, and Jesse loved how my body wrapped in silk felt against his during our number. But naturally, he loved the feel of my body with nothing at all wrapped around it best, so he unwrapped it from my body, ravishing me with his hands, feeling my smooth skin.
He removed his shirt as he climbed over me, kissing me passionately and caressing my breasts, making me very wet.
"Take me!" I moaned.
"With pleasure." He said in a sexy tone. He thrust into me with vigor, moaning and holding me close, pressing my body against his. I caressed his smooth back, gently rubbing his neck before embracing him.
I moaned even louder as I orgasmed, with Jesse thrusting faster only intensifying it, as he came at the same time.
Jesse kissed my sweaty neck, giving me orgasm-like tingles. I caressed his hair as he lay his head on my chest and he continued touching my skin as well, tracing his finger down my neck and collarbone, before caressing my breasts.
It was a beautiful night, that ended with us falling asleep in sweaty bliss.
