Frida's perspective

I sat on the bed while Agnetha paced around the room. We had closed the door and told Linda we'll speak to her soon and that we just need a moment alone. Agnetha was stressing herself out by all this. "Agnetha... You need to calm down..." I got up and put my hand on her shoulder, but she swatted my hand away like a fly. "Calm down?!" She screamed at me quietly, so Linda would my hear anything. "Yes. We just need to explain this to her." I said standing in front of her. Agnetha was looking down at the floor and she clenched her fists, almost as if she was angry. "Agnetha... It will be okay. Look, I'll talk to Linda, you calm down meanwhile." I said and walked out of the room, leaving her alone.

I walked to Linda's room and opened the door. "Hi Linda..." I said a little awkwardly. "Hi!" She smiled at me. "Can we talk about something?" I slowly walked up to Linda who was playing with her toys on the floor. I knelt down. "About what you saw..." I began. "You kissing mommy?" She looked at me. "Yeah... Can you not tell daddy?" I looked at her. "Okay." She answered plainly. "You won't tell him?" I asked again, for conformation. "Yes. I'm not gonna tell him... He also kisses other women and tells me not to tell mommy." She said and kept playing with her toys. "Wh-what?-" I asked in surprise. "Okay Linda. Keep playing with your toys." I said and stroked her head lovingly. I got up and walked out of her room. Björn is cheating on Agnetha?!

"Hey Agnetha, are you okay?" I came in her room and closed the door behind me. "Yeah... I calmed down... Will she not tell Björn?" She looked into my eyes. "Yeah, she won't." I sat down next to her on the bed. "Wow... That was easy." She sighed. "Yeah, but it was easy because... Björn makes her keep similar promises... Very similar... Actually the same." I said and she looked at me immediately. Her eyes widened and it looked like she wanted to say something, but couldn't get a sound out. "He... He is cheating on me?" She finally said with trouble. "Yeah... I'm sorry." I said and put my hand around her. "I mean, it doesn't matter anyway... But..." She said and moved closer to me. "Turns out Björn and Benny are quite alike..." I scoffed, and Agnetha smiled a little. "C'mon, don't be sad... It really doesn't matter..." I took a deep breath, "You have me. And I'll never leave you, and I'll never cheat on you. I..." I hesitated a little, "I- I love you..."

She turned her head to me and looked at me. "Frida...  I..." she kept looking at me. For a second I thought I had made a mistake saying that to her, but then she kissed me, like she never had.

"I love you too..." She said quietly and our foreheads met. I smiled and took her hand. "But I meant what I said." I said, while looking down at mine and her hand. "I know Frid. I'm so lucky to have you, even if we have to hide this." She sighed. "Yeah... But when we will be able to be out in the open and be a normal couple I promise you, you'll have the best life." I said and kissed her. She didn't say anything just smiled. ''Let's go eat something, I'm starving.'' Agnetha said and got up. ''Okay.'' I got up too and walked with her downstairs

After we ate we walked back upstairs. She lied down on the bed and I lied down next to her. I put my head on her chest and sighed. ''When will you tell him?'' I asked. ''I don't know. I'm scared to tell him. He can be quite aggresive sometimes...'' she answered me and put her arm around me. ''Yeah I get it. And I don't wanna pressure you, but it'd be nice if it didn't take months or years...'' I said and chuckled. She smiled and kissed my forehead. ''It won't. I was thinking of telling him this weekend.'' she said. ''Oh?'' I held myself up with my arms and looked at her. ''Yeah. Also, what are you doing this saturday? I wanted to invite you and Benny to dinner, so you know... We could tell him together, and if he gets aggresive, Benny is there for protection.'' she said and sat up. ''We're both free. We'll be there.'' I said and we both smiled.

The day went by pretty quick. It was already 6pm and Bjorn would be home soon, so I would have to leave. I didn't want to, but I had to. I decided to leave before Bjorn gets home so I could give a normal goodbye kiss to Agnetha. We stood at the front door, she waited for me to put on my coat. ''Bye.'' I said and kissed her, she put her hand on my side and deepened the kiss, she added tongue and I did too. We kisses for a few minutes, till we heard Linda come down and I pulled away. ''Bye.'' she smiled. ''Bye Linda.'' I waved to her and left.

Agnetha's perspective

''Mommy?'' Linda came up to me. ''Hm?'' I turned to her. ''Why did you kiss Frida?'' she looked at me. I didn't know what to say. I mean I'd have to explain this situation to her anyway, but how?... I got on my knees, so I could be at the same level as her. ''Well...'' I cleared my throat, ''I... And Frida are in love.''

''Aren't you in love with daddy?'' she kept looking at me, she was quite scary because she was barely blinking, Scary fucking kid...

''I was, but I'm not anymore. It is hard to explain.'' I sighed. ''Are you gonna get married with her?'' Linda asked with hope in her eyes that I'd say yes. Linda loved Frida, and Frida was almost like a second mother to her and she once even said that she wished Frida would be her mom, instead of Bjorn being her dad. ''We will... One day.'' I said and smiled. This was the first time I had actually imagined our wedding. Linda smiled at me and I smiled back at her. ''That's gonna be so cool!'' she said and jumped a little. ''Yeah... It will...'' I said. Trying not to cry, I never had wanted to be with someone so much as I did with Frida. I had never realized how much I love her. She was everything I needed, wanted and more. I could imagine how amazing it'd be to get married to her, start a life together. I never have wanted to do something as much as I want to marry Frida.
